Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by helping one pay attention,
sit still and process information.
Supportive Information:
Ginkgo is for cerebral vascular insufficiency and works by cerebral
and peripheral blood flow. As one gets older, blood flow to the brain
and to peripheral tissue decreases with these resulting symptoms.
Diminished cerebral circulation can also result in vertigo, ringing in
the ear, Alzheimer’s symptoms, forgetfulness and depression. Ginkgo
can help all of this. Ginkgo is famous in assisting memory, focus and
cognition.
Gotu Kola reduces adrenal corticosterone blood levels during
stress. It is high in flavonoids and studies show it helps in capillary
fragility and strengthens vascular integrity in the brain and through-
out the body. It is a cognitive stimulating herb for use in fatigue, con-
fusion and general lethargy. It is helpful for those exhausted from
emotional upheaval or excessive work habits.
Green Tea is a potent antioxidant that binds with free radicals to
neutralize their harmful effects. Green Tea is rich in polyphenols and
one in particular called a catechin. Catechins are 40 to 200 times
more effective in seeking out and destroying free radicals than
Vitamin A, C and E. Studies demonstrate the antioxidant effects of
green tea catechins improve overall reference and working-memory
related learning ability. Green Teas polyphenols are also believed to
help ward off neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and
Parkinson’s by protecting neurons against the harmful effects of
reative oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO).
Rhodiola stimulates the activity of serotonin, dopamine, and nore-
pineprhine in the cerebral cortex, brain stem and hypothalamus, and
increases the permeability of the blood brain barrier to precursors of
dopamine and serotonin. This enhances the effects of these neu-
rotansmitters on the brain and improves cognitive functions (think-
ing, analyzing, evaluating, calculating and planning), learning, atten-
tion span, memory and work productivity. Rhodiola also relieves
fatigue and normalizes mood in depressed individuals, and has
antioxidant properties that help protect the nervous system from
oxidative damage. By stimulating cognitive function, improving
resistance to stress and fighting free radicals, Rhodiola can have
immediate effects on cognitive function and memory and can also
provide long-term support to help preserve future brain functions.
Codonopsis is very similar to ginseng, but milder and more neutral
in energy. It increases stamina and alertness and keeps the body and
mind strong when under stress.
Licorice works as a limbic (emotional) brain tonic and tonifies the
stress axis (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal axis). Researchers have
found a compound in licorice known as carbenoxolone inhibits an
enzyme in the brain involved in making stress-related hormones
which have been associated with age related mental decline.
Phyto-Tech™ Brain Bio Boost Complex cannot be expected to
work overnight and is best if used consistently for at least 2 weeks. It
can be continued as a long-term tonic, especially in the elderly.
Dosage: 20-40 drops in juice or water, 2-3 times daily or as need-
ed
Cautions and Contrindications: While interaction unlikely, those
taking prescription blood thinners, or MAO inhibitors should advise
their physicians. Do not take during pregnancy, if nursing, or prepar-
ing for surgery. The amount of licorice in this formula is theorectical-
ly too low to affect blood pressure, but those with high blood pres-
sure should monitor their BP as a precaution.

California Poppy 1:3
California Poppy 1:3
California poppy has been used as a sedative to relieve insomnia
and nervousness.
In an article by Abascal K, Yarnell E., Nervine herbs for treating
anxiety (Altern Compliment Ther. 2004 December:309-315.), the
authors discussed California poppy. They first pointed out that “anxi-
ety disorders are common in many Western countries, and conven-
tional drugs like benzodiazepines are often prescribed to relieve anx-
iety. However, these drugs have worrisome short-term and long-term
side effects. Nervine herbs (herbs that quiet nervous excitement)
have a long history of traditional use in relieving anxiety, insomnia,
and mild depression. With the exception of St. John's wort
(Hypericum perforatum), kava (Piper methysticum), and valerian
(Valeriana officinalis), there is little published research on the safety
and efficacy of nervine herbs. The purpose of this article was to
review the available research and explain how the lesser-known
nervine herbs are commonly used in practice.” One of those “lesser-
known nervine herbs” was California poppy. They made the follow-
ing observation: “California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is used
for its mild analgesic and calming effects. Unlike the opium poppy
(Papaver somniferum), it has no narcotic effects. Animal studies indi-
cate California poppy tea reduces anxiety, acts as a mild analgesic,
and helps prevent drug-induced memory loss. Most herbal practi-
tioners combine lower doses of California poppy with other nervines
to relieve anxiety. Researchers studied a combination of California
poppy, hawthorn flower (Crataegus laevigata), and magnesium in
264 people with mild to moderate anxiety. Those taking the herb

Omega 3 from Clary Sage Seed
Oil
A Unique, Highly Beneficial
Source of Omega 3
The history of Salvia Sclarea (Clary Sage)
seed oil as a new and unique source of
omega-3 dates back almost 2 decades ago. It
began as a broad research project at the
world-renowned ARO – the Agricultural
Research Organization, Volcani Center - the
main administrative body in charge of agri-
cultural research in Israel. A team of
researches and experts in the field, led by Dr.
Nativ Dudai, who specializes in the study of
Israeli floras and the introduction of new
crops to the region, decided to research and
map a new source of omega-3 from the gene
pool of the ARO’s various plant species, in a
quest to find a superior source of plant-based
omega-3 compared to the existing sources
that were known at the time. After a year of
intensive research and elimination of various
species, the researchers decided to focus on
the various species of the sage plant common
to Israel. The initial mapping showed over
2,400 varieties of sage with different mor-
phologies. Dr Dudai's team began examining
these varieties of sage, some on the verge of
extinction. The researchers focused their
study on the plant's leaves and, in particular,
the seeds.
One of the varieties investigated (and on
the verge of extinction) was Salvia Sclarea,
commonly known as Clary Sage. Upon
examination of the Clary Sage seeds, the
team was surprised to find a concentration of
over 50% of omega-3 in the oil produced
from the seeds. This is one of the highest and
rarest concentrations of omega-3 ever found
in nature. In the last few decades, the scien-
tific community has recognized omega-3 as
an essential fatty acid, and that very few
foods contain omega-3 in such concentrated
levels. The team was extremely satisfied with
their find, especially due to the fact that this
is a 100% plant-based source of omega-3.
In light of this finding, Dr. Dudai's team
decided to focus further on the Salvia
Sclarea. They discovered that the omega-3
found in the oil was of an extremely stable
nature, thanks to many natural antioxidants
present in the composition of the oil. One of
the main problems with omega-3 from other
sources is the fact that it oxidizes easily and
within a short time - a characteristic that sig-
nificantly decreases its potential health and
functional benefits. In trying to explain this
occurrence, the team of researchers deep-
ened their study to find over 100 active
agents in the oil's composition. Many of these
agents were known as rare and very efficient
stabilizers and antioxidants. One of these is
Sclareol - a very potent, valuable antioxidant
known according to medical literature to
possess properties that help combat cancer
cells.
The extensive presence of natural antioxi-
dants in Clary Sage seed oil is probably the
main reason behind its impressive stability -
which also allowed this rare plant to grow in
desert conditions. The antioxidants in the oil
protect the omega-3 from damage and main-
tain its potency and efficacy. Such an impres-
sive concentration of "protecting" antioxidants
has not been found in other sources of

omega-3.
However, the findings did were not limited
to concentration and stability. The team also
discovered that seed oil contained other
highly beneficial substances, like sterols and
oil soluble co-enzyme Q10. The Clary Sage
seed oil was also found to be free of dioxins
and allergens, not to mention other harmful
ingredients such as PCB and heavy metals,
which are known to be present in certain
other sources of omega-3. The cultivation
protocols which were devised and used by
the research team also ensured that the crops
were 100% vegan, natural and non-GMO. As
a result, the oil is considered safe for con-
sumption by all age groups, including chil-
dren and pregnant or breastfeeding women.
The extraction of the seed oil from the
seeds was done by the team using a cold
press process. This ensured that the benefits
of the oil remained unharmed during the
extraction process, and also eliminates the
need for chemical processing or the use of
additives that are used when extracting
omega-3 oil from certain other sources cur-
rently on the market. In addition to the
health benefits of this process, it also pro-
vides oil that has no odor and a pleasant,
delicate taste.
Clary Sage seed oil is being used today
both in functional foods to enrich them with
omega-3 and other functional benefits, and
in nutritional supplements. As a nutritional
supplement, the Clary Sage seed oil is sold in
1000mg softgel capsules, packed in medical-
grade blister packs for maximum protection
and preservation until consumption. Due to
the Clary Sage seed oil’s high omega-3 con-
tent, each softgel capsule contains at least
500mg of omega-3 fatty acid, along with a
host of other beneficial ingredients, as previ-
ously mentioned.
This unique source of omega-3 has already
undergone various clinical and pre-clinical
studies to document and validate its benefits,
with additional trials and research planned in
the near future. The extensive research car-
ried out by Dr. Dudai and his team was also
transformed into a patent. The patent covers
all commercial uses of the Salvia Sclarea
seeds, its cultivation protocol, and the oil
produced. In fact, Clary Sage seed oil is the
only source of omega-3 on the market that
has a patent as a source of omega-3.
