Ingredients:

• Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosis) is a botanical cousin of Panax ginseng. This herb has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years to support the vital energy of the body and to sustain physical and mental performance and endurance. Recent research has clinically supported this traditional wisdom. In a recent study Siberian ginseng was shown to support stamina and fitness. (Szolomicki J, Samochowiec L, Wojcicki J, Drozdzik M, Szolomicki S. “The Influence of Active Components of Eleutherococcus Senticosus on Cellular Defence and Physical Fitness in Man”. Phytother Res. 2000 Feb; 14(1): 30-5). (Hartz AJ, Bentler S, Noyes R, et al. “Randomized Controlled Trial of Siberian Ginseng for Chronic Fatigue”. Psychol Med . 2004;34(1):51-61). Ginseng extract has also been evaluated for its ability to support vitamin absorption from the diet. (Caso Marasco A, Vargas Ruiz R, Salas Villagomez A, Begona Infante C. (1996). "Double-Blind Study of a Multivitamin Complex Supplemented with Ginseng Extract". Drugs Exp Clin Res. 22 (6): 323–329. PMID 9034759) as well as to maintain the body’s natural ability to deal with stress. (Brekhman II and Kirillov, O. I. 1969. “Effect of Eleutherococcus on Alarm-Phase of stress”. Annu Rev Pharmacol, 8, 113-121). In addition, Eleutherococcus senticosis has been researched for tonic effects on the immune system and healthy energy levels. (See DM, Broumand N, Sahl L, Tilles JG. “In >Vitro Effects of Echinacea and Ginseng on Natural Killer and Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity in Healthy Subjects and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Patients”. Immunopharmacology. 35.3 (1997): 229-235).
• Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is well-known as an all round tonic and energizer and helps to support healthy circulation. Studies have also suggested that Rosemary can help to maintain healthy cerebral blood flow (CBF). (Pointel JP, Boccalon H, Cloarec M, Ledevehat C, Joubert M. Angiology 1987;38(1 Pt 1):46-50). (Ho CT, Wang M, Wei GJ, Huang TC, Huang MT. “Chemistry and Anti-oxidative Factors in Rosemary and Sage”. Biofactors , 2000;13(1-4):161-166).
• Spirulina ( Arthrospira platenis) is a single celled micro-organism found in the sea and is commonly used as a source of chlorophyll. Widely used for its nutritive properties, Spirulina contains protein, vitamins (including B12 and folic acid) and carotenoids. This sea algae has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years as a tonic to sustain energy, support liver functioning, immune functioning and all round systemic health.
• Amalaki (Emblica officinalis) is a well respected Ayurvedic rejuvenating tonic which helps to support healthy energy levels, well-being and health in all ages, including in the elderly. This herb is also a good source of vitamin C.
• Rice Powder (inactive ingredient).
