Adaptogenic
This unique combination of herbs supports the aging process by modulating the stress response, combating cellular fatigue and supporting the immune system, key areas of aging we can modify with herbal remedies. Mechamism of action studies show that Ginseng saponins stimulate the cyclic AMP within the adrenal cortex thereby improving output of stress hormones. These steroid hormones decline with age, increasing our levels of inflammation.
Additionally, some studies suggest memory function is improved by Gotu kola. Antioxidant herbs such as Hawthorn berry and Rosemary support cardiac function and brain function thereby benefiting the aging process by supporting general wellbeing. Echinacea root has been shown to improve the activity of white blood cells making this a wonderful tonic for supporting reduction in immunity associated with the aging process. Best taken long term for ultimate benefits.
