Dr. Israel Brekham MD, pharmacologist and physiologist discovered and coined the term “adaptogens.” While at the Far East Science Center in Vladivostok, USSR, he researched hundreds of various herbs for almost 50 years and unlocked some fascinating secrets of nature that can empower you physically and emotionally.
Dr. Brekham believed an adaptogenic herb must have three characteristics. First, it must be nontoxic, safe for humans and animals. Second, it had to help the body adapt to stress. Third, the herb had to bring the body back into balance (homeostasis).
The first herb, Eleutherococcus (Acantho root or Siberian Ginseng) was named “King of Adaptogens” by Dr. Brekham. This ancient nutritional plant may normalize body systems, reduces stress caused by physical and emotional overload, and increase endurance and stamina.
Schizandra Chinensis (Chinese Magnolia Vine) according to folk lore was used as a general tonic for fatigue and exhaustion. Schizandra may help the body to increase physical productivity and speed recuperation from fatigue. It may build the body’s resistance to disease. Certain herbalists in Asia report that this herb balances body functions, boosts recovery after surgery, protects against radiation, counteracts the effects of sugar, protects against motion sickness, normalizes blood sugar and blood pressure, reduces high cholesterol, and improves the health of the adrenals.
Rhaponticum Carthamoides (Maral Root) was also used in folk medicine. It was thought to ease fatigue and weakness. It may work with the body to improve circulation, mental acuity, and muscular performance. It contains a substance called 20-Hydroxyecdysone, which may help increase protein production at the cellular level and helps build muscle tissue!
Rhodiola Rosea (Golden Root) was discovered about 400 years ago. According to legend, the root will make the finder happy, healthy, and enable them to live a long, long time. All folk lore aside, golden root contains a broad spectrum of nutritional elements and may help mental acuity, improved circulation, and enhanced endurance.
Japanese Aralia (Manchurian Thorn Tree) may aid digestive, respiratory, uninary and intestinal systems; provide effective, resorative action on some internal membranes.
Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Ural Licorice Root) according to Tibetan folklore nourishes and contributes to the performance of the six senses. It may increase circulation, enhances skin tone, protects against stress, and supports the immune system.
Rosa Majalis; Rosa Cinnamonmea (Cinnamon Rose) a member of the rose family was also used in ancient times. It was used as a revitalizing tonic and to promote physical beauty. Combined with the licorice root, this herb may promote balancing on the body’s systems and provide antioxidant protection!
Please note that these herbs by themselves are extremely beneficial. However when they are combined, the synergistic effect of combining all 7 multiplies their power many times over.
You don’t have to spend the next 50 years studying. These 7 adaptogens are all in Prime Delight, a delicious super nutritional pomegranate drink combining the most powerful antioxidants, and remarkable attributes of adaptogens, and CoQ10.
