Küresel ölçekte yaşam süresinin uzaması ve yaşlı nüfusun artması, sağlıklı yaşlanma kavramını güncel bilimsel araştırmaların odak noktalarından biri haline getirmiştir. Günümüzde temel amaç yalnızca yaşam süresini uzatmak değil, aynı zamanda hastalık ve işlev kaybı olmadan geçirilen yılların artırılmasını sağlamaktır. Yaşlanma süreci; oksidatif stres, kronik düşük dereceli inflamasyon, mitokondriyal disfonksiyon ve stres yanıtı yolaklarındaki düzensizlikler gibi birbiriyle ilişkili biyolojik mekanizmalar tarafından şekillenmektedir. Bu derlemenin amacı, adaptojen bitkilerin sağlıklı yaşlanmayı destekleyebilecek doğal ajanlar olarak potansiyel rollerini güncel literatür doğrultusunda değerlendirmektir. Bu kapsamda özellikle Rhodiola rosea, Panax ginseng ve Withania somnifera; stres yanıtı, hipotalamus-hipofiz-adrenal aks, bağışıklık fonksiyonları, mitokondriyal aktivite ve nöroprotektif mekanizmalar açısından ele alınmıştır. Güncel bulgular, bu bitkilerin oksidatif stres ve inflamatuvar yanıtların düzenlenmesine katkı sağlayabileceğini, enerji metabolizmasını destekleyebileceğini ve bilişsel ile fiziksel performans üzerinde olumlu etkiler gösterebileceğini düşündürmektedir. Bununla birlikte, mevcut kanıtların önemli bir bölümü preklinik çalışmalara ya da sınırlı örneklem büyüklüğüne ve heterojen tasarıma sahip insan çalışmalarına dayanmaktadır. Bu nedenle, adaptojen bitkilerin sağlıklı yaşlanma stratejilerindeki olası katkısını daha net ortaya koyabilmek için iyi tasarlanmış, geniş örneklemli klinik çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
