ENERGY BALANCE ULTRA® PROPRIETARY INGREDIENTS INCLUDE:

Energy Balance Ultra® is an innovative nutraceutical product specifically formulated to provide safe, natural and effective enhancement of an individual’s energy level, physical and mental function, stamina, vitality and overall sense of well-being. These benefits are accomplished by utilizing a unique blend of 8 adaptogenic herbs; plus other herbs that contribute to improved energy and stamina; stimulate and enhance the immune system; reduce stress and anxiety; and have anti-oxidant properties. Finally, Energy Balance Ultra contains ingredients that metabolically increase muscle ATP/energy production and facilitate generalized cellular mitochondrial production of ATP.

Adaptogenic herbs have been used around the world for centuries as “tonics” to improve vitality, well-being, overall body function and to counteract the effects of stress. An adaptogen is defined as an herb that “increases the body’s resistance to adverse influences by a wide range of physical, chemical, biochemical and environmental factors and has a normalizing or restorative effect on the body as a whole.” (Rainforest database)

Put simply, adaptogens maintain, restore and enhance homeostasis, through mechanisms Associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and control of key mediators of the stress response.

Traditionally the effects are achieved with the use of a single adaptogen. For example, in traditional Chinese medicine either Panax Ginseng, Schizandra or Cordyceps are used; in India, Ashwaganda; in Brazil, Suma; in Peru, Maca; and in Europe, Rhodiola and Eleutherococcus (Siberian Ginseng). Only very recently have adapotgens appeared for use in the USA. Energy Balance Ultra is truly unique in utilizing a synergistic blend of all the most effective, and most scientifically studied adapotgens to maximize all the beneficial properties of these incredible herbs. Energy Balance Ultra’s adaptogenic blend includes Rhodiola, Schizandra, Panax Ginseng, Siberian Ginseng, Suma, Maca, Cordyceps and Ashwaganda.

Rhodiola, Schizandra and Eleuterococcus (Siberian ginseng) have been well-studied scientific publications. All three have been shown effectively treat fatigue with increasedenergy, increased endurance and physical work capacity, improved motor performance, improved mental performance, immune enhancement, and an overall. stress-protective effect.

Panax Ginseng is probably the best known adaptogen with similar positive effects as well as documented improved cognitive performance during prolonged periods of mental activity.

Maca is also known as Peruvian ginseng (though not related to the ginseng family).

It is a rich natural source of minerals and amino acids, especially arginine, well-known for it’s role in the production of nitric oxide. It is an effective tonic strengthening all body functions, reducing fatigue, enhancing immune function, and improving sexual function and increasing libido in both men and women. In traditional Peruvian medicine it is considered an aphrodisiac.

Cordyceps sinensis is a prized medicinal/adaptogenic mushroom in traditional Chinese medicine. It has been said that cordyceps is “more valuable than gold”.. It improves energy levels and stamina; modulates blood sugar levels and cardiovascular functions; improves cellular oxygenation; and increases athletic performance. In the 1990’s when Chinese Olympic track athletes burst on the scene with stunning improvements, their Olympic coach attributed the improvement to the use of Cordyceps.

Suma (Pfaffia paniculata) is also known as Brazilian ginseng and may be one of the most valuable herbs to come out of the rainforest. It has been scientifically shown to be a potent adaptogenic and restorative tonic involving regulation of multiple body systems. It is rejuvenating, energy and physical stamina enhancing with immunostimulant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects; as well as in vitro anti-cancer activity.

Besides containing 19 amino acids, multiple electrolytes, trace minerals and vitamins, it also contains significant amounts of germanium which is known to act as a cellular oxygenator. One component of Suma, beta-ecdysterone, also facilitates cellular oxygenation as well as being responsible for the very positive effects on athletic performance. Studies have shown that Suma helped athletes at all stages of their training with a sense of well-being, more efficient training sessions, less post-workout pain and most importantly, enhanced muscle-building- a positive anabolic effect without the side effects of steroids (PED’s). European athletes, especially Russian, consider Suma to provide a competitive edge at the Olympics.

Ashwaganda is an important Ayurvedic adaptogenic herb used for centuries in India to strengthen the body and mind; slow the aging process; increase strength and stamina; relieve fatigue, and as a source of energy.

Other herbal ingredients in Energy Balance Ultra include Atractylodes, Zizyphus (jujube), Salvia (Dan Shen), and Green Tea.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Atractylodes “tonifies the Qi” increasing energy and physical endurance, reducing weakness and fatigue; and enhancing immune system function.

Zizyphus (jujube) also “tonifies the Qi” by increasing physical endurance and work capacity. It also has an anti-allergy effect.

Salvia (Dan Shen) in TCM “vitalizes the blood” with positive cardiovascular effects. It enhances c-V function by increasing coronary circulation, enhancing heart muscle strength, decreasing platelet aggregation, enhancing peripheral microcirculation. It also increses the metabolism, improves tissue repair and regeneration, and increases the immune response.

Green tea enhances the body’s response to and recovery from stress through it’s high anti-oxidant content.

Energy Balance Ultra® also contains 2 metabolically key ingredients that enhance energy levels, physical endurance and muscle function. D-ribose enhances overall energy, stamina and physical endurance by directly increasing ATP levels in muscle cells. Studies have documented the positive effects of D-ribose on muscle function, endurance and enhanced recovery from physical activity

L-carnitine is the key compound that transports fatty acids into mitochondria where they are converted into ATP (energy source for the body).

Other ingredients include Kola Nut extract and Guarana which are sources of naturally occurring caffeine. The recommended daily dose of Energy Balance Ultra contains caffeine equal to slightly less than a cup of coffee

Energy Balance Ultra® contains Bee Propolis which has beneficial gastrointestinal effects, as well as wound healing and anti-bacterial activity.

Overall, Energy Balance Ultra contains a blend of ingredients that will safely and effectively maximize energy levels, stamina, physical activity and work capacity; enhance mental and cognitive function; enhance one’s sense of well-being and vitality; counteract the negative effects of stress; increase sleep and nocturnal rest; support the immune system and overall resistance; and in general improve the way you feel and the way you function.

For the athlete, Energy Balance Ultra will safely increase energy, workout capacity, enhance recovery time, decrease post-workout pain, increase workout efficiency, increase muscle building and strength, all without PED’s and with an overall improved sense of well-being.
