A great, caffeine-free way to promote your body’s use of energy is to get hold of some Red Korean Ginseng.
Chinese and Ginseng
The Chinese are absolutely crazy about ginseng, they have been using it for over 7,000 years. They really know there herbs over there in China. Ginseng is so valuable that wars have been fought over it.
What's an Adaptogen?
Ginseng is what's know as an Adaptogenic herb. Thats' an herb that helps the body adapt to stress, fatigue, anxiety and cold. Adaptogen is a relatively new word, herbalists in the past, commonly referred to them as rejuvenating herbs or qi tonics. Qi means energy, like the energy that animates the universe. In Chinese medicine, it's all about balancing energy or qi.
Improving Athletic Performance
Ginseng has been used by numerous athletes throughout the years, looking of a steroid-free performance boost. Ginseng certainly doesn't have any of the negative side effects of anabolic steroids. Some scientific studies support the claim that ginseng boosts athletic performance, while some other studies do not. Science is still up in the air on this one. still many swear by gisengs power and wouldn't compete without it. And you won't fail a drug test because of it.
Mental Edge
Ginseng also has a reputation for improving mental performance. Students cramming for exams have been known to stock up on ginseng, as well as anyone looking for a mental edge. Science seems to support these notions.
Energy Drinks
Ginseng is a popular ingredient is Energy Drinks. Drink makers have found that by adding herbs, vitamins, amino acids and a bunch of extra caffeine, they can get $2 or more per can. A nice mark up and certainly a high profit item. Personally I'll pass on the mega-caffeine boost.
All in One
The vitamins, minerals, and herbs do sound good to me. Natural and healthy, that's my thing. Essential Daily Nutrients has become a part of my daily routine. Red Korean ginseng is just one of the fantastic ingredients. A great tasting liquid, I know I'm absorbing all the goodness provided by the product. The most amazing thing for me - a one ounce shot of liquid replaces a whole handful of pills, I used to take, and for less money. sounds good to me.
