Adaptogens help you feel better, look younger and live longer, healthier lives.

The name 'adaptogen' was first used by Russian scientists in the late 1940's. They were looking for natural substances that would give their athletes, cosmonauts and military personnel an edge.

In addition to their outstanding stress-protective and immune boasting qualities, the Russians found adaptogens increased energy and significantly improved mental alertness. Later, adaptogens were reported to also be helpful in promoting relaxation and sleep.

In countries like the Czech Republic, Poland and Russia, adaptogens have been recognized for decades for helping humans 'adapt' to various health problems. In Russia for example, schizandra berry is sold in drug stores as an over-the-counter remedy for eyesight problems. And since it grows wild in remote areas of Eastern Europe and Russia, it was without doubt used by ancient Russian healers for many of the same purposes we now recognize by different names in our modern world.

In China, Korea and Japan, schizandra berry has been in continual use for thousands of years. Over the centuries, these ancient cultures had observed the effectiveness of this adaptogenic herb and used it in their traditional medicines.

Schizandra berry is not as well known in the west as the most famous adaptogen, ginseng, but it is perhaps even more respected in the east than ginseng because of its unique ability to balance body, mind and spirit like no other herb in the world.

Marketers today are racing to find new ways to find the next 'super-natural' product that will solve our collective ills. In this dash to cross the finish line first, it is often forgotten that the 'cure' they seek is not only to heal the physical parts of people, but also their emotional and spiritual natures.

True adaptogens such as schizandra berry work across the entire spectrum of our being. Schizandra berry offers us the adaptogen's unique ability to heal us quietly on all our levels - body, mind and spirit.
