The adaptogenic herbs used in our proprietary formula are both GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe by the FDA) and DSHEA compliant per the DSHEA (Dietary Supplements Health Education Act of 1994).
Adaptogens are safe, non-toxic and natural herbs that have a high antioxidant level. In nature, adaptogens usually grow in unusual or harsh environments; environments that few plants are able to adapt to.
Aptaptogens have recently been featured in national media and talk shows, and are being recognized for their ability to help support immune systems, endurance levels, and our ability to cope with stress.
In order to provide the safest, most effective products possible, we have created unique blends of the thirty known adaptogens in the world. To increase their bio-availability, we have developed a proprietary Co-Extraction Process that is used on all of our adaptogen blends.
Adaptogens for Athletes – Olympics
One of the first groups to utilize the power and benefits of adaptogens were the Russian and Chinese Olympic teams. The doctors and scientists working with these athletes recognized that by using adaptogens, they could help increase endurance, reduce stress, and improve performance.
The effectiveness of adapatogens quickly became apparent, and by the 1996 Games in Atlanta, they were being used by over 150 American Athletes. Adaptogens are completely natural and safe. They are used around the world by athletes today and are not prohibited by any international sports organization or The World Anti-Doping Agency.
Adaptogens are recognized as having providing non-specific benefits which improve the health of the organism to the highest potential (homeostasis).
Some experts believe they:
* Increase number of T-cells that boost the immune system.
* Access additional stamina and endurance.
* Speed up recovery from physical activity.
* Help protect vital organs from stress.
* Increase physical and mental work capacity.
* Accelerate the rehabilitative processes.
* Increase functional reserves of the cardio¬vascular system.
* Stimulate normal biosynthesis of protein.
* Inhibit free-radical oxidation.
Normalizing Effect: Adaptogens have an important normalizing effect on all bodily functions.
Non-Specific (Total Body) Resistance: Adaptogens increase the body’s resistance to the harmful factors, such as cooling, overheating, enhanced motor activity, increased or decreased barometric pressure, and ultraviolet or ionizing radiation.
Stress – Protective Action: Research shows that adaptogens allow the body to more ably cope with stress, whether it is daily, extreme, acute or chronic.
The Immune System: Adaptogens exert a strong immunomudulatory influence in healthy test subjects and can be considered non-specific immunostimulants.
Physical Work Capacity: Research institutions have discovered that adaptogens are vital for enhancing a person’s capacity for physical workloads.
Mental Work Capacity: Researchers have demonstrated that adaptogens also have the ability to increase a person’s mental work capacity.
Performance, Endurance and Rehabilitation: Adaptogens provide the basis through which people can build up an energy reserve to be tapped when the body needs it most – under extreme physical tension and during recovery from fatigue.
Cardiovascular System: Adaptogenic extracts have a favorable influence on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
Antioxidant, Anti-Aging Action: Adaptogens cause a reliable decrease in total cholesterol and b-lipoproteins, and increase the level of hydrophilic and liquid antioxidants in the blood.
Eyesight, Color Perception, Hearing and Vestibular Functions: Adaptogenic plants have been shown through extensive laboratory study and clinical trials to support and improve the function of the sensory organs.
