Stressed? Increased cortisol levels? Belly fat? If so, this article is for you.
When a nutritionist I deeply respect recommended a product to me a few weeks ago, I ordered it sight unseen.
Two weeks later my best friend said, “Rosie, you seem so calm and focused.” Calm and focused? Those are the exact results touted by this product.
Now, after 3 weeks of using the product, my curiosity has led me to do a little research on the active ingredients:
Epimedium grandiflorum extract (10% flavonoids as icariin) (whole plan) - Aphrodisiac, relaxes smooth muscle.
Tribulus terrestris extract (stem and root) (20% saponins) – Tribulus terrestris has long been a constituent in tonics in Indian ayurveda practice. It is used as an aphrodisiac, diuretic and nervine (a plant remedy that has a beneficial effect upon the nervous system in some way) in Ayurveda, and in Unani, another medical system of India.
Eleutheroroot extract (0.8% total eleutherosides) (root) – Eleuthero root was shown in humans to produce improved cerebral cortical functions. Sensorimotor reaction times were shortened, and there was a decrease in mistakes in distinguishing positive from negative signals. The men were tested by doing proofreading and were found to have a generally improved quality of work.
In 1966, Kirillov found that daily Eleuthero root given to rats under various types of stress normalized the weights of the thyroid and adrenal glands (usually shrunken by stress) and eliminated any evidence of stress upon the functions of these glands.
Rhodiola rosea extract (1>0% total rosavins) (root) – Rhodiola rosea is proving to be a superb and legitimate supplement for a wide range of practical purposes, from greater mental performance to greater physical endurance. A rigorous Swedish clinical study strongly indicated rhodiola’s ability to quicken memory, improve attention span, sharpen mental performance, alleviate depression, soothe mental and physical fatigue, and improve human focus in difficult circumstances. Despite these broad benefits, rhodiola rosea features a remarkably low toxicity level.
Rhodiola Rosea extract is an adaptogen, a family of supplements which exhibits a capability to improve the human response to physical and/or mental stress and trauma. Theoretically, adaptogens help humans maintain optimal homeostasis by balancing their immune systems and endocrine hormones. The term adaptogen quite clearly derives from the substance’s capacity to assist an organism to adapt to strenuous circumstances.
Schizandra chinensis estract (fruit) – Schisandra fruit may have an adaptogenic action, much like the herb ginseng, but with weaker effects. Laboratory work suggests that schisandra may improve work performance, build strength, and help to reduce fatigue.
As far back as 2697 B.C., Schisandra, one of the primary medicinal agents of Chinese herbal medicine since antiquity, was classified as superior by Pen-Tsao in the classic Yellow Emperor’s Study of Inner Medicine, an encyclopedia of healing plants. It is said to increase energy, replenish and nourish the viscera (internal abdominal organs such as intestines, lungs etc.), improve vision, boost muscular activity and sooth both coughs and disgestive upsets.
Schisandra is said to “prolong the years of life without aging,” and it is also said to increase energy, suppress cough, treat fatigue, and act as a sexual tonic in men.
Well, no wonder I feel calm and focused following months of extraordinary stress. I am grateful to the nutritionist who gave me this gift. If you think this product might be helpful to you, go to my web site, www.beautyandfreedom.itworks.net and look at the product called Confianza. It works!
