circulation. It increases the conversion rate of sugars into the necessary substrates
for the formation of fatty acids in the liver. Siberian Genseng stimulates the central
nervous system and is a quick antidote for fatigue.
Gotu-Kola - Considered to be one of the best herbal
tonics, Gotu Kola works by cleansing and purifying the blood by neutralizing acids and
helping the body to defend against toxins. Gotu Kola has important anti-fatigue
properties, builds mental stamina and improves memory and longevity.
Fo-Ti (root) - Assists the body in lowering
cholesterol and strengthening muscles. Has been found to reduce hypertension, reduce
blood cholesterol levels and reduce the chances of coronary heart disease.
Pantothenic Acid - Pantothenic Acid plays a role in the
production of the adrenal hormones and the formation of antibodies. It also aids in
vitamin utilization, and helps to convert fats, carbohydrates, and proteins into energy.
By preventing Coenzyme A to drop, Pantothenic Acid decreases your appetite, burns
long-chain fatty acids and restores energy.
Peppermint (leaf) - Peppermint leaf contains a warming oil
which aids in increasing oxygen in the blood and works to clean and strengthen the entire
body. It contains essential oils similar to Fennel that helps with weight reduction by
suppressing your appetite. The primary function of this herb is appetite loss.
