eleutherococcus root - Advanced Adaptogen and similar items

Advanced Adaptogen Complex 770mg With: Ashwagandha, Eleuthero, Maca Root, Holy Basil, and Ginseng. Dietary Supplement -Made in the United States- (1 Bottle, 60 Capsules) Product Description. Adaptogens are plants that are marketed as helping the body resist stress of all kinds, whether physical, chemical or biological. These herbs and roots have been used for centuries in Chinese and Ayurvedic healing traditions. Each one claims to do something a little different, but on the whole, "adaptogens help your body handle stress," says Dr. Brenda Powell, co-medical director of the Center for Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic's Wellness Institute. "They're meant to bring us back to the middle." Ingredients in "Advanced Adaptogen Complex" by VIP Vitamins: Holy Basil Leaf. Holy Basil, also known as Tulsi or "the incomparable one," translates to "balance," which is symbolic of its most common modern use. Holy Basil helps you respond to stress in a healthy way, while nourishing the mind and elevating the spirit. As an adaptogenic herb, Holy Basil also supports adrenal health and a state of equilibrium in the body. Ashwagandha Root. Ashwagandha has been shown to calm the mind, reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and enhance the activity of immune cells known as natural killer cells that help you fight off infections and cancer. Ashwagandha is the only adaptogen proven to enhance thyroid function, increasing serum concentrations of both T3 and T4. Its anti-inflammatory effects may also help relieve pain associated with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. Ashwagandha helps the body cope with stress by boosting adrenal function. It is widely used to balance stress hormones, relieve anxiety, and increase energy in those suffering from adrenal fatigue. Eleuthero Root. Eleuthero was first used in China as an herbal remedy at least 2,000 years ago! In addition to helping the body cope with stress, eleuthero acts as a stimulant, increasing nervous system functioning and boosting energy levels. Eleuthero contains compounds that combat fatigue and burn fat for energy. In an exercise study, a daily dose of eleuthero elevated cardiovascular function and improved endurance in athletes by 23%. Eleuthero offers a whole host of other benefits, including enhanced immune function, stabilized blood sugar levels, improved concentration, and reduced duration of respiratory infections such as pneumonia and influenza. It can even help you manage menopause symptoms by binding to estrogen receptor sites, thereby decreasing fatigue, insomnia, memory problems, and loss of strength caused by low estrogen levels during menopause. Panax Ginseng. Studies have demonstrated the potential of ginseng to prevent and reverse a number of inflammatory conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and asthma. Ginseng also has neuroprotective effects, which can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. It even has the power to prevent autoimmune disease by suppressing proinflammatory cytokines generated by chronic stress. Peruvian Maca Root. Maca root is unique in that it is both an adaptogen and a superfood. Grown in the Andes Mountains, maca is a root vegetable rich in protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, and amino acids such as glycine and arginine. Maca has been used medicinally for hundreds of years to improve libido, fertility, mood, and symptoms of adrenal fatigue. As an adaptogen, maca raises hormone production when your body is under-producing hormones and lowers hormone production when your body is over-producing hormones. When used over time, maca nourishes and enhances the function of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, which restores balance to the adrenals.
