How It Works

Bee Pollen

Bee pollen offers a natural energy boost. It's been called the “perfect food” because of its remarkable array of nutrients. A true gift from Mother Nature, bee pollen contains many essential nutrients, including protein, 22 amino acids, B-vitamins, 27 mineral salts, trace elements and several enzymes.

Eleuthero

Eleuthero root is an adaptogenic herb that supports energy and helps maintain balance in the body. Adaptogens help the body "adapt" to environmental stress, including physical and emotional stress. As an adaptogen, eleuthero acts as a tonic at the cellular level and offers beneficial support for the nervous system. Eleuthero is commonly used to support energy, stamina and endurance, and may help with concentration. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), eleuthero is also considered an adrenal tonic.

Gotu Kola

Gotu kola, a time-honored botanical, supports the circulatory system and especially the brain, better enabling the body to cope with stress. Ayurvedic medicine considers gotu kola a brain & nerve tonic and one of the primary herbs for revitalizing the nerves and brain cells. Gotu kola also helps promote circulation, which in turn fires up your memory.

Licorice

Licorice root has been a key part of many Chinese herbal formulas for thousands of years because of its numerous health benefits. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has relied on licorice root to provide respiratory, digestive and reproductive system support. Licorice root is also regarded as an adrenal/pituitary tonic that helps to promote vitality and well-being.

Rose Hips

Rose hips are a natural source of vitamin C and contain beneficial bioflavonoids and antioxidants. Rose hips offer natural immune support and free radical protection. Rose hips, the portion of the rose that remains after the petals fall off, is one of the oldest natural remedies, with evidence of prehistoric use. Ancient Romans, Greeks, Persians and Chinese all appreciated its health benefits, and the British used it as a vitamin C supplement during World War II.

Yellow Dock

Yellow dock provides mild colon stimulating activity and astringent properties to keep your bowels functioning properly. Yellow dock also supports liver function and nourishes the urinary system. Yellow dock contains active principles, including anthraquinones responsible for its mild colon-stimulating activity, and tannins, which provide an astringent effect. A member of the buckwheat family, yellow dock grows abundantly throughout the U.S.

Barley Grass

Barley grass provides an array of antioxidant nutrients, vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll. Barley grass is also a rich source of amino acids that help the body repair muscle and blood vessel tissue. Barley grass supports immune and gastrointestinal function, cellular detoxification, blood pressure regulation, and healthy inflammatory responses. It also helps protect the liver and may improve sleep.

Schisandra

Schisandra has been used for centuries for its adaptogenic benefits. Widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this renowned tonic herb is used to balance the 12 meridians (energy channels) and energize the five constitutional types. Schisandra allows the body to respond more quickly to stress. Schisandra is also known to support the body’s efforts to clear waste from the respiratory system and enhance energy in the lungs. Plus, schisandra's bitter compounds also support circulation and nervous system function.

Kelp

Kelp is a type of brown algae that is naturally rich in trace minerals, including potassium, iodine and zinc. Iodine is an essential trace mineral that supports glandular function, metabolism and energy levels. As a natural iodine source, kelp is particularly important to the thyroid, a gland acting as the body’s energy thermostat.

Capsicum

Capsicum has a warming strength that stimulates digestion and enhances blood flow. Widely known for its ability to stimulate circulatory activity, capsicum may promote healthy blood flow in the extremities. Capsicum is added to many herbal formulas as an effective catalyst to help the body transport and use the companion ingredients.
