Properties: Traditionaly, this combination of herbs can be thought to exert the following properties: Adaptogen, Adrenal Tonic, Immuno-Modulating, Mood Enhancing, Anti-Depressant Indications: Adrenal Adaptogen Complex is a balancing adaptogenic formula indicated for those who are overworked, overstressed, and find themselves feeling tired, overwhelmed and burnt-out most or all of the time. It is also helpful for those who haven’t hit the wall yet, but live fast-paced, high- stress lifestyles and want to avoid breakdown and burnout. Adrenal Adaptogen Complex will increase the body’s resistance to physical, mental, and environmental stress, and help to defend against diseases and disorders caused by overstress. The herbs used in the formula are highly adaptogenic and work synergistically to moderate the stress response, not by blocking it altogether but by balancing it out. In other words, they enable the body to respond more appropriately to stress without over-exaggerating the response. This prevents adrenal overstimulation and protects the adrenals from breakdown and exhaustion. Adaptogens act positively on glucose metabolism as they stimulate the liver to convert glycogen to glucose, enhance entry of glucose into the cell, and enhance utilization of glucose within cells. Regular use of Adrenal Adaptogen Complex will help normalize stress hormone levels, lessening ones predisposition to stress, decrease over-reactions during the stress response, and provide protection against the effects of long-term stress. In addition, energy and vitality will be restored, and mood and emotional well-being will improve. Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years and is indicated for those with fatigue, physical weakness, compromised immunity, and poor work capacity and concentration. Pharmacologically, Eleuthero tonifies, displays anti-stress activity, increases lymphocyte count, and has an immunomodulatory effect on the cellular immune system. Studies show that Eleuthero increases endurance, reduces the alarm phase of the stress response, prevents stress-induced illness and disease, supports adrenal function, and enhances T-cell activation and immune system function. Formerly known in the U.S. as Siberian Ginseng, Eleuthero is not a true ginseng, but it does belong to the same family of plants. Compared to true ginseng, Eleuthero is non-heating and milder in its stimulatory effects. Ashwagandha is used preventively to avoid burnout and breakdown and restoratively to help strengthen those who are already mentally and/or physically depleted. It has positive effects on chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, debility, and recovery from wasting diseases. Ashwagandha is one of the most important herbs of Ayurveda and is known as “Ayurvedic” Ginseng. It is indicated for similar conditions as Ginseng, but it is not heating, Yang, or stimulating like Ginseng. Many scientific studies have been conducted that support Ashwagandha’s adaptogenic and anti-stress activity. It’s been found to be effective at increasing physical endurance, preventing gastric ulcers brought on by stress, and reducing the rise of stress hormone levels in the blood. Ashwagandha also has cognitive effects and can increase intellect and memory. Several studies indicate it slows stops and reverses neuritic atrophy and synaptic loss, and thus has been used in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s. Ashwagandha also displays GABA-mimetic, anxiolytic and anti-depressant properties and can help stabilize mood in those with anxiety and depression. American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is native to North America and was used in traditional indigenous medicine by tribes such as the Cherokee, Creek, Iroquois, Menominee, . . . continued on page 9 Important Notice: The information given here is designed to help you make informed decisions about your health, and the proper use of dietary supplements.

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements I n Parkinson’s disease (PD), brain-nerve function slowly deteriorates, with a wide range of eventual physical and cognitive symptoms including tremors and memory loss. While there is no apparent single cause, oxidative stress is a common factor. In this study, doctors followed and gathered food questionnaires from 43,865 men and women, aged 18 to 94, who began the study without PD. Over 17.6 years of follow-up, overall, those with the highest levels of vitamins C or E were 32 percent less likely to have developed PD compared to those with the lowest levels of vitamins C or E. Doctors concluded dietary vitamins C and E may reduce chances for PD. Reference: Neurology; 2021, Vol. 96, No. 6 Vitamins C and E May Lower Chances for Parkinson’s Disease C ould vitamins C and E be the fountain of youth? In this study, doctors took blood samples of several types of immune white blood cells (WBC) in 22 older men and women who took 500 mg of vitamin C with or without 298 IU of vitamin E. Doctors then compared WBC in 30 younger men and women, average age 35, who didn’t take the supplements. After three months, in both the vitamin C and C-plus-E groups, the function of WBC that heal tissue damage and resolve infection—called neutrophils—improved nearly to the level of the younger adults. A second type of WBC—lymphocytes—also had greater function, creating a similar level of natural immune killer T-cell activity as the younger group. Levels of free radicals—which cause oxidative damage—were lower with vitamin C, and lower yet with C plus E. Six months and after the end of the study, free radical levels were still lower than before the study.
