Eleuthero Root

Nutrients: Adaptogen

Eleuthero reduces the depletion of stress-reducing hormones. When the body is under stress, the adrenal glands react by releasing adrenaline and corticosteroids. This causes nervous exhaustion or physical fatigue.

By reducing the depletion of stress-reducing hormones, exhaustion and fatigue are diminished and the body is better able to respond to stress.

Historical Benefits:

Eleuthero has been known to help the immune system by stimulating the production of the t-cells (the specific white blood cells that attack any bacteria or virus that enters into the body). It restores energy/strength and improves appetite. Eleuthero also reduces stress and enhances mental attentiveness.

Amla

Nutrients: Tannins, polyphenols, Vitamin C, adaptogens, flavonoids, kaempferol, ellagic acid and gallic acid.

Amla has a reputation as a powerful rejuvenating herb. The Amla fruit is reputed to have the highest content of vitamin C of any natural occurring substances in nature. Amla studies suggest that it has potential efficacy against inflammation, cancer, age-related renal disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis.

A human pilot study demonstrated reduction of blood cholesterol levels. Another very recent study with diabetic rats given an amla fruit extract has shown significant decrease of the blood glucose as well as triglyceridemic levels and an improvement of the liver function caused by a normalization of the liver-specific enzyme alanine transaminase (ALT) activity.

Historical Benefits:

Amla has been known to have potent antioxidant properties and give against oxidative stress. It has also been known to help control inflammation and its resultant effects.

Ginseng

Nutrients: ginsenosides

The power of Ginseng is known throughout the world. Ginseng allows the body to withstand higher levels of emotional and physical stress, increases levels of alertness and mental clarity, reduces fatigue, improves memory and wards off colds, flu and other infections.

Ginseng has also shown promise in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome and stimulates the immune and nervous system. It has been shown to help with diabetes, reduces the growth of certain types of cancer cells, and also increases testosterone levels and sperm production.

Historical Benefits:

Ginseng improves cardiovascular, immune system and nervous systems. It also assists the function of the adrenal glands during exercise to build strength and endurance.

Proprietary Primary Antioxidant Complex:

Glutamic Acid is the precursor of GABA but has somewhat the opposite function; it is an excitatory neurotransmitter. It is one of the few nutrients that crosses the blood-brain barrier and is the only means by which ammonia in the brain can be detoxified.

It is considered to be nature’s “Brain food” by improving mental capacities; and is used in the treatment of depression, ADD and ADHD, fatigue and chronic fatigue, alcoholism, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, mental retardation, and schizophrenia.

Cysteine is a precursor to the liver detoxifying and antioxidant amino acid glutathione. This functionality provides an anti-aging effect on the body—even reducing the accumulation of age spots. Another impressive function of Cysteine is the breakdown of mucus in the respiratory tract which can help in bronchitis, emphysema, and tuberculosis.

Glycine supplies additional creatine to muscles and is used to construct DNA and RNA. It functions in skin, connective tissues, the central nervous system and prostate.

A proper level of cellular glycine produces more energy.
