How It Works
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is one of the most sought-after and commonly used herbs, thanks to its numerous benefits and applications.
Deeply supportive of many body systems including the immune system, the reproductive system, a healthy thyroid, and much more, ashwagandha is a wonderful herb to help nourish overall health and well-being.
Ashwagandha promotes homeostasis (balance) within the body to support overall health. Withanolides, the active constituents in Ashwagandha, are responsible for its biological activities.
Ashwagandha is clinically shown to support normal-range cortisol (a stress hormone from the adrenal glands), which improves stress response and reduces anxiety!
Clinical studies also show that Ashwagandha supports cognition and memory.
Plus, studies show that Ashwagandha promotes physical endurance by improving VO2 max and may support post-exercise recovery, enhance muscle strength, and even improve sleep quality.
Amazing Adaptogens
Ashwagandha herbal blend utilizes natural, adaptogenic, plant-based ingredients that are scientifically shown to help improve the central nervous system (CNS), which is constantly impacted by emotional and environmental stressors.
Adaptogens and their benefits are linked to the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which helps the body react to repeated stress and adaptation and supports a healthy mind-body connection.
This formula combines plants scientifically shown to help improve CNS function. Together, these three—Bacopa, Schisandra and Rhodiola—help the body react to repeated stress and support a healthy mind-body connection.
Bacopa
Bacopa or "brahmi" is an adaptogenic herb used for centuries in Ayurvedic Medicine. Bacopa has gained global popularity for its potential memory-enhancing and anxiousness-reducing effects. Traditionally recommended for stress and memory, bacopa leaf has been studied for its potential use for focus, memory retention, learning, and cognitive function. Studies show that bacopa exhibits a broad range of neuroprotective effects, aids retention and recall, and may also boost mood. Active compounds called bacosides may be responsible for many of bacopa's brain health benefits.
Schisandra
Schisandra has been used for centuries for its important adaptogenic benefits. Widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), schisandra berries are called the five-flavored fruit because they possesses a remarkable taste that is sour, sweet, bitter, salty and pungent. This renowned Chinese tonic herb is used to balance the 12 meridians (energy channels) and energize the five constitutional types. Schisandra also enables the body to respond more quickly to stress. Plus, schisandra's bitter compounds also support circulation and nervous system function.
Rhodiola
Rhodiola root, well-known in Russia and Europe, is an adaptogen more powerful than ginseng. It has long been revered as a staple in traditional Eastern medicine. Vikings were known to use this herb to support physical strength. The Chinese employed rhodiola for stamina and for lowering stress. And modern-day sherpas take rhodiola when they climb Mt. Everest. Rhodiola root can improve strength, stamina and endurance and it helps body cells to generate and use energy more effectively. Rhodiola also helps ease stress and may uplift mood and foster positivity. Plus, rhodiola is a rich source of antioxidants.
