Couldn't we all use a natural performance and endurance lift? Gain a competitive edge in sport or work, or just breeze through another long and hectic day. Even those of us with high energy levels during the morning start to wain a little by 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon. By the time dinner is done - so are we. It seems there is never enough energy to do all the things in life we dream to achieve and enjoy.
For others, poor diet, dehydration and the ever increasing load of stress and the body's eventual inability to handle it can lead to chronic fatigue, stress, sluggishness, low motivation, muscle weakness, excessive sleeping, poor memory and even brain cloud.
Naka's Energy Boost is an effective, herbal formula designed
to invigorate the body and mind with powerful herbal adaptogens beneficial
for increasing resistance to the multitude of life's everyday stresses.
The Power of Adaptogens
Serious research on adaptogens began in 1947 under the auspices of Dr. Nicole Laserev from Russia. He reported several indigenous plants that helped increase the body's natural resistance to environmental stresses and later coined them "adaptogens".
Adaptogens like Rhodiola Rosea, Cordyceps, Siberian Ginseng and Panax Ginseng included in the Energy Boost formula are nature's rare and invaluable healing solutions.
Why? In simple terms adaptogens help the body adapt naturally to cope with and reduce stress. They promote the normalizing of body functions while allowing the continuation of normal physiological function. Explaining the effects of adaptogens is difficult since they influence each individual differently. For example, they are not stimulants but if you are mentally exhausted or physically fatigued the adaptogens will help you feel more energetic, vitalized and full of zest for life. Similarly, adaptogens are not tranquilizers, but should you be stressed-out, or emotionally tired, and not coping with life, they will help you relax and provide a calming effect.
Adaptogens also provide powerful antioxidants, to help the
body fight free radicals and prevent cell degeneration, cancer and ageing.
To be considered an adaptogen a plant must also be, effective, non-toxic and
absolutely harmless to the body. Adaptogens have been studied and tested by
various academies, institutes and sports agencies. They contain no drugs,
preservatives or banned substances. Adaptogens are not banned by any
international sports.
Medicinal Herbs

It's quickly becoming one of the most cutting edge
nutraceuticals for energy and mood elevation, mental alertness, sports

Used by Russian athletes and cosmonauts to enhance mental and physical performance, Rhodiola is cardio protective, normalizing the heart rate immediately after intense exercise. It also improves the nervous system and mental functions such as memory, by increasing blood supply to the muscles and brain. It also increases protein synthesis.
Researched since 1931 by scientists and nutritionists, Rhodiola Rosea increases the body's resistance to varying environmental stresses in part by calming the sympathetic (flight or fight) nervous system. Test subjects showed an improvement in their general physical and mental state after taking only 100 mgs a day. It was found that patients with depression had a positive response by optimizing serotonin & dopamine levels, as well as, other neurotransmitters.
Rhodiola rosea has extraordinary pharmacological properties
as an anti-mutagen and antidepressive agent. In this respect it is a much
more powerful adaptogen than others and more effective than St. John's Wort
and Ginkgo Biloba. In a clinical trial, two-thirds of 150 individuals
suffering from depression who took Rhodiola Rosea extract for a period of
one month had full remission of clinical manifestations of depression and
weakness.
