Korean ginseng, schizandra, is known as a powerful adaptogen. This type of substances - adaptogens - increase the body's resistance to various sources of stress (physical, chemical and biological) and stressful situations. Schizandra also helps to normalize blood pressure - one of the signs of prolonged stress. One of the main things that schizandra is known for is that it gives extra concentration and improves memory by stimulating the normal functioning of the nervous system. Therefore, it is a suitable assistant for increasing work productivity and endurance under the influence of stress. Schizandra also helps with chronic fatigue. Taking schizandra is said to prolong life and keep the body healthy as it helps carry out the normal physiological functions of the cells. This is why schizandra is also recommended as an antiaging supplement. Having a healing effect on the whole body, schizandra also has an activating effect on the libido - it increases desire, endurance and the probability of pregnancy. Although it is considered a tonic, schizandra has a very good effect on the quality of sleep and helps with insomnia, as it reduces stress factors. Schizandra is also widely used by athletes to increase muscle strength and endurance as it reduces fatigue and improves exercise performance.

In Ayurveda, the benefits of about 7,500 plants are used, with Ashwagandha standing at the top of the pyramid in terms of popularity and benefits, they call it Rasayan, which translates as "life-prolonging". Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is the jewel in the crown of the 5000-year-old knowledge system of Ayurveda. It thrives in dry and waterless soils, where other plants dry up and die. Ashwagandha is a powerful adaptogenic herb that strengthens the immune system, improves sleep quality, stimulates brain function, reduces anxiety and depression, supports the body in overcoming stress, slows the aging process, nourishes bones, muscles and tissues, reduces blood sugar levels and body fat, gives energy and increases libido. In the Indian Materia Medica, the herb Ashwagandha is listed as a tonic that increases energy and stamina, an aphrodisiac, and a remedy that alleviates all cases of weakness, nervous exhaustion, visual disturbances, and various skin ailments. Clinical studies prove the main health benefits of taking Ashwagandha for thyroid problems, reducing and/or maintaining blood sugar levels, speeding up metabolism and reducing body fat, reducing stress and fat-storing cortisol, slowing the aging process, increasing fertility and libido, improving mood and brain function, increasing concentration, increasing endurance, successfully counteracting anxiety and depression and promoting healthy sleep. Stress is defined as the most serious problem of modern man. The development of stress into a chronic one leads to very serious problems for our health, because in periods of great stress the adrenal gland produces a lot of cortisol. This, in turn, leads to chronically high blood sugar levels, which puts us at a higher risk of developing diabetes, or the so-called. chronic hunger, which lead to weight gain. High cortisol also suppresses the body's immune response, making us more susceptible to viruses, flu, infections and even cancer. Cortisol causes problems with blood pressure, cholesterol levels and sleep, and exacerbates digestive problems such as heartburn, constipation and diarrhea. Ashwagandha has been scientifically researched and shown to not only lower cortisol and C-reactive protein or CPR (a harmful inflammatory compound), but also stress, high blood pressure and heart rate, increase DHEA (a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland), but affects libido and fertility. Traditionally, Ashwagandha has been touted as an aphrodisiac, and studies back it up. In a study on the effects of the herb on hormones, fertility and libido, 75 men participated. The results of the study showed that the Ashwagandha group had a significant increase in sperm count and motility, as well as an increase in testosterone. In another study conducted in 2015 regarding the improvement of sexual function in women, 50 women took part. The results found that women who took Ashwagandha root extract had an improvement in sexual function and satisfaction compared to the placebo group. A 2017 study involved 50 adult participants with cognitive problems. The placebo group showed no improvement in cognitive function, while the Ashwagandha group showed significant improvement in cognition and memory, attention, concentration, and information processing time. Ashwagandha is a powerful adaptogenic herb known since ancient times that can deal with the problems and meet the needs of modern man. Today, its extract is extracted using high-tech methods and is added to nutritional supplements in the form of capsules or tablets.

Golden root (Rhodiola rosea) is a plant with powerful adaptogenic properties that grows on the sandy, stony, cold and dry soils of the Siberian mountain slopes and which was used by the Greek physician Dioscorides (77 BC) as a superfood for more strength and endurance, protection from disease, longevity and for better brain activity. The plant has a proven antidepressant effect and helps to stimulate the nervous system, to eliminate chronic or seasonal fatigue. Thanks to the energetically active compounds - rosavins and salidrosides contained in the Golden Root, the plant supports energy cell metabolism and stimulates the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) and Creatine Phosphate in the mitochondria - the cells' energy stores. Used by athletes before competing for more energy, increasing physical endurance and to restore muscle tone after exercise. The golden root has an extremely stimulating effect on memory, concentration, visual and auditory perception, helps to easily adapt the mind and body in a changing environment and shows positive effects as a concomitant treatment of malignant diseases. It plays an important role in stimulating the immune system and helps the body fight allergy symptoms more easily. Note: Extremely concentrated extract - 5% rosavins, 3% salidrosides with a high extraction ratio: 1:20, i.e. 1 kg of extract is made from 20 kg of herb. FURTHER INFORMATION: Golden root works by reducing the concentration of certain stress-inducing metabolites in the body, such as corticotropin (also known as corticotropin-releasing factor or CRF), which increases mental fatigue. Golden root is also known to normalize menstrual activity in women suffering from amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) and significantly support fertility and reproductive abilities. The plant improves the condition of men suffering from dysfunction of the sexual system. In Siberia, Rhodiola rosea is recommended both to people suffering from problems with the sexual system and to those who simply want to significantly improve their abilities in this regard. Therefore, symbolically, on the first wedding night, the newlyweds are usually given a bouquet of golden root.

In Asian countries, the beneficial effects of maitake mushrooms (Grifola Frondose) have been used for centuries. Maitake means "dancing mushroom" in Japanese. The strange name probably comes from the fact that the pickers, when they found the rare mushrooms, danced for joy. Maitake is a type of adaptogen that helps the body cope more easily in a state of stress - physically or mentally. In traditional Asian medicine and medicinal mushroom science, they are mainly used for adjuvant and complementary treatment of diabetes and cancer. Today, maitake is gaining a growing nutritional therapeutic role in the treatment of diabetes. Especially in type II diabetes, maitake can increase the sensitivity of insulin receptors, so the body's ability to identify glucose is greatly improved. In addition, the mushroom has a positive effect on fatty acid metabolism and blood pressure. The maitake mushroom has a natural anti-obesity effect. With regular use, maitake can reduce fat storage in the liver and prevent weight gain. It is noteworthy that maitake also has a very high natural content of vitamin D2 = ergosterol.

In China, Jiaogulan / Gynostema is said to be the herb of immortality. Otherwise known as southern ginseng (although it has nothing to do with the ginseng family), jiaogulan has powerful adaptogenic and antioxidant properties. Plants from the ginseng family, including Siberian ginseng - Eleutherococcus, are powerful tonics and adaptogens. They contain over 30 different saponins - energy boosters that improve the overall health of the body. Jiaogulan is distinguished by the content of 82 saponins! This is three times the strength of regular ginseng. It is also loaded with oxygen-rich polysaccharides, which additionally have a positive effect on our health. Mainly promoted as a supplement for athletes, jiaogulan has a positive effect on the energy level of any body, not just the athlete. To create energy, cells need oxygen and, at the same time, protection from free radicals. Gynostem has exactly this complex effect - supplying more oxygen and strong antioxidant properties to protect cells from free radicals. Thus, the effect is more strength, less fatigue, more endurance, normalization of blood pressure, conscious and focused brain activity and calmness.

The mushroom Agaricus blazei (Agaricus blazei Murrill) contains many vitamins and minerals, as well as a large amount of polysaccharides, primarily beta D-glucan.

Vitamin E is best known as a fat-soluble "free radical scavenger." Just like vitamins A and C, it protects the body's cells against aggressive oxygen compounds and toxins in the environment. Vitamin E can thus delay premature aging and prevent cell damage leading to disease or even cell degeneration. Due to its protective effect, vitamin E, which in the language of chemistry is called D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, is widely used in cosmetics. It also plays an important role in protein and fat metabolism. Vitamin E supports the functioning of the cardiovascular system in two ways. First, it helps reduce "bad" cholesterol, and thus has a positive effect on blood vessels. Second, it prevents red blood cells from sticking together and thus improves blood circulation. Since vitamin E also has an anti-inflammatory effect, it can help relieve rheumatic pain. Vitamin E is formed exclusively in plants and starts from there along the food chain. Signs of vitamin E deficiency are skin problems, muscle weakness, degeneration and a higher susceptibility to infections. Supplementing the daily diet with vitamin E can be conveniently and easily implemented through nutritional supplements.

Black pepper is used for colds, neuralgia and rheumatism. The main components of black pepper are the bitter glycoside piperine, vitamin E and C.
