Effects

This traditional herbal formula helps improve adaptation to stress while increasing energy.

Eleutherococcus, also known as Siberian ginseng, is the most well-documented adaptogenic plant (helps the body adapt to stress). While it is not actually ginseng, it does help increase energy without causing sleep problems. The plant can be taken by men and women and has been the subject of well-documented studies by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the German Commission E. It has also been shown to have positive effects on increasing immunity.

Oat flower helps reduce nervous anxiety. In the case of stress, it helps reduce excessive anxiety and improves sleep.

Licorice is one of the most well-documented plants, and has both anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It was included in this formula as it helps strengthen the adrenal glands, which are the stress glands.

Polygonum is one of the most important anti-aging herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. It has tonic effects on liver and kidneys while research also shows moderate cholesterol-lowering action.

Schisandra is another adaptogenic plant. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to help regulate imbalances in the body caused by various stressors.
