Tonic Alchemy is vibrant LIFE FORCE IN A BOTTLE. Why Consume Tonic Alchemy? Over the past forty years ten’s of millions of Americans have become aware of the need for better, more natural nutrition. Everyone now realizes that good nutrition is central to health, well being and longevity. Americans can eat large amounts of conventional food and still be undernourished. Of course, we can shop at natural foods markets and purchase plenty of good nutritious, even organic foods, but that is difficult for many people to do all of the time. The U.S. government has recently released its new dietary recommendations urging consumers to consume up to 13 servings per day of vegetables and fruits. This long overdue recommendation affirms what many of us have known for a long time. Still, most Americans will not be able to achieve these standards. Even those of us who eat consciously often find it difficult to eat well all the time. The earth and seas provide incredible nutrition that is accessible and invaluable to our health, well being, aging process and longevity. Luckily, Tonic Alchemy™ can make a huge difference in our actual vegetable, fruit and overall phtytonutrient consumption. Tonic Alchemy™ contains superfoods – foods of extraordinary nutritive value – nutrient-dense greens, super-tonic herbs, tonic mushrooms, antioxidant-rich fruits and sea vegetables, vitamin-rich sprouts, probiotics and naturally fermented foods, all of which contribute to our deeper nutritional needs. Tonic Alchemy™ is a source of concentrated garden vegetables, with a focus on the cruciferous vegetables, the very ones we need to consume virtually every day to enhance our immune system. Tonic Alchemy™ is exactly the concentrated vegetable booster you need in order to achieve and to maintain glowing health. People often suffer from unexplained problems because of a lack of certain nutrients in their diet. Even if you think you are eating a healthy diet, it is quite possible you are being cheated – or just fooling yourself. These deficiencies are not the result of a lack of food quantity, or may not even be the result of eating “poorly.” It is quite possible to eat many “servings” of fruits and vegetables a day and still be coming up short in terms of some nutrients, trace elements and nutritional factors necessary for radiant health.  Nutritional Variety – the Thrival© Factor The body requires a wide range of nutrients and phytochemicals to thrive. We live in extraordinarily complex times. Our lives are complex and our needs are complex. The body is a system of millions of interconnecting functions happening at every moment in a harmonious way – if we are healthy. We know that if certain nutrients are missing from our diet, we are going to suffer from a deficiency. Different cells, different tissues and systems require specific biologically active molecules and chemicals in order to achieve optimum performance, including a wide range of minerals, vitamins, and plant phytochemicals. It is possible to “live” or “survive” without some of these substances, but just living or surviving is not the same thing as “thriving.” Thriving means living life to its fullest in a healthy, happy, flourishing, robust, satisfying way. Nutritional variety plays a very key role in thriving. In fact variety is the ultimate thrival© factor. We all know about the “minimum daily requirements” for nutrition. These are not about thriving. They are the “minimum” requirements to remain marginally healthy, to not slip into a deficiency disease state. Even “average daily requirements” are not about thriving. Thriving requires more and better. Not necessarily more in terms of any one nutrient, but more in terms of a variety of nutrients and phytochemicals and other life-promoting factors that the body can use for optimum living. And better in terms of the quality and completeness of those nutrients. The “minimum daily requirements” system is grossly oversimplified. Since the system was developed, scientists have discovered thousands of new chemicals in the human body that have profound effects on our health and wellbeing. There are too many nutrients that we really require to put on a food product label. The system is only marginally relevant.  The problems associated with consuming “variety,” however, are daunting for many people. If you want to get all these nutritional factors into your diet, you must first find all of them and make sure they’re all genuine, and they’re all organic, and they’re all from the best sources. Secondly, you’d have to obtain all of them – and that would obviously be time-consuming and expensive. Thirdly, you’d have to prepare them all and eat all day long in order to get them all in – every day! Thank goodness there’s an easier way! The solution lies in Tonic Alchemy™. We collect the most nutritious ingredients on earth from the best sources. We’ve created a delicious, 100% natural, easy to prepare, easy to consume blend of superfoods that ANYONE can EASILY get into their body EVERY DAY. The superfoods contain numerous substances that are not available in the everyday diet. These substances contribute to radiant health – the kind of health we are all seeking. It is rich in nutrients that can improve our general state of wellbeing and our overall health, and can contribute to slower aging. Tonic Alchemy™ contains 91 superfoods and probiotics organisms. It is more than a complete food. It is quintessential nutrition! It is your daily assurance for a healthy diet. Who do you know that FOR SURE is getting everything they need nutritionally every day? Well, if you know someone who is consuming Tonic Alchemy™ every day, then you know somebody.  The World’s Greatest Superfoods Are Available in One Amazing Blend Ron Teeguarden’s credo is “When it comes to tonic herbs and superfoods, never settle for less than the best.” We cannot all own the biggest house, the greatest car, or have the best clothes, but when it comes to what we are putting into our body, we should follow this credo. Our health and wellbeing are dependent upon what we put in our body. Our body must be revered as the miracle that it is. If we put premium quality nutrients into our body daily, our body will perform at a dramatically higher level. Tonic Alchemy™ is incredibly nutritious – it is the ultimate superfood mix ever created. Just one serving a day will provide the body, mind and spirit with the most awesome range of nutrients ever combined in one meal or one product. Tonic Alchemy™ is composed of 91 individual superfoods sourced from around the world. Every ingredient is the best material available in the world. We never settle for less than the best.  What’s New about Tonic Alchemy 2.0? 91 Ingredients. That’s a big subject. Tonic Alchemy™ 2.0 has over 20 new ingredients that Ron Teeguarden has decided he wants to consume every day. Organic Ingredients. Although Tonic Alchemy has ALWAYS be pure and chemical free, many of the ingredients were not certified organic. Now 71 of the superfoods, fruits, vegetables and herbs are certified organic. Almost all of the rest of the ingredients are wildcrafted (collected from Nature in the wild). 100% Vegan. The original Tonic Alchemy contained powdered pearls – the other 70 ingredients were plants. The pearl has been removed from Tonic Alchemy™ 2.0, which is now 100% vegan. This product is also largely raw. Only the herbs that cannot be consumed raw have been extracted and condensed. What’s in the New Tonic Alchemy 2.0? This new, significantly upgraded version of Tonic Alchemy™, which Ron Teeguarden is referring to as version “2.0,” features extraordinary ingredients from around the world. Because there are 91 ingredients in Tonic Alchemy™ 2.0, it is not possible to go into all of them fully in here (that would be a “book”). So let’s look at some of the major new ingredients and super-ingredients that are not so well known.  Superfoods Tonic Alchemy™ contains the most powerful superfoods in the world. Tonic Alchemy features several rare superfoods that can have profound health benefits. Ashitaba: Though not so well known yet in America, Ashitaba is recognized as Japan’s greatest superfood. This powerful super-nourishing and rejuvenating green plant promotes nerve growth factor production and thus supports neurological health into deep old age. The Okinawan people who grow Ashitaba are among the three longest lived peoples on earth. Hydrilla: This water plant is known by scientists to be the most nutrient dense food on earth. It is originally from the Russian wilderness. It supplies an abundance of vitamins and other factors, including B vitamins, including vitamin B12. This plant is virtually indestructible in nature, and that capacity to survive ANYTHING is representative of the radical potency of this little green superfood. Moringa: The small leaves of this tree from the Asian subcontinent is becoming recognized as one of the greatest superfoods on earth. Moringa Leaf provides amazing nutrition, rivalling Hydrilla as the most nutrient dense food plant on earth. It has 7 times the vitamin C of oranges. Gynostemma: This green plant that grows in tropical regions of Asia is a supreme superfood. Epidemiological studies have shown that the people who live where Gynostemma is grown and consumed on a daily basis are the longest lived people on earth (more octogenarians and more centenarians per capita than anywhere else). It contains over 100 saponins, similar to those found in ginseng, that improve adaptability, regulate immune functions and slow down aging in numerous ways, starting at the cellular level. Of course, Tonic Alchemy™2.0 also contains the Great Classic Superfoods: Grasses: Oat Grass, Barley Grass, Wheat Grass and Kamut Grass. Grasses are true superfoods. They are loaded with vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, chlorophyll, healthy fibers, and much more. They are provided in Tonic Alchemy™2.0 in two different ways: as grass juices (dried) and as whole grasses. Grass juice is about 40 times more concentrated that the raw grass, while the whole grass provides amazing fiber and enzymes plus an amazing range of phytoneutrients. Non-Grass Superfoods: Spirulina, Chlorella, Alfalfa Leaf, and Dunaliella Salina Algae. These superfoods are known to almost everyone who is into health. There is a difference in quality, however, depending upon sourcing and freshness. Tonic Alchemy™2.0 contains superior grades of all these superfoods. Tonic Herbs: Tonic Alchemy™2.0 contains 20 of the greatest vegan supertonic herbs from around the world. Tonic herbs are consumed throughout the world on a daily basis to promote radiant health. We have added 9 new major tonic herbs to the new blend and deleted one, pearl, that presented an issue to some people because it is not vegan. Tonic Alchemy™2.0 is 100% vegan.  A Few of the New Tonic Herbs Included in Tonic Alchemy™ 2.0  Russian Rhodiola rosea has been acknowledged to be one of the greatest adaptogenic herbs in the world. It is called “golden root” in Russia, where it has been used since prehistoric times as a panacea. It is extremely easy on the body, yet it is a highly potent energy tonic and immune modulator. Dragon Herbs has used Himalayan Rhodiola from the beginning in Tonic Alchemy. And we continue to use Himalayan Rhodiola sacra, known as “red root” in China and Tibet. We are using both in full dose capacities in this new Tonic Alchemy™2.0. We consider them to be different enough to be considered two different herbs, both with great power. Red Ginseng: Changbai Mountain Ginseng has been an ingredient in Tonic Alchemy™ since its first day, but we have received organic certification by the world’s most prestigious certification program, and that makes a difference. It is very, very difficult to grow ginseng organically. It takes from 6 to 8 years to grow a ginseng root. During that time, the tiny, vulnerable plant must survive Manchurian alpine conditions. The plant is so expensive that no farmer likes to risk losing the plant in its 4th or 6th year. Growing ginseng organically takes courage, faith and commitment. Ginseng also comes in various grades. We use the highest grade available, which on uses large 8 year old roots. You will not find 8 year old organically grown Changbai Mountain ginseng in any other superfood product. Wild Siberian Chaga™ is a slow growing woody mushroom that grows naturally on birch trees in Russian Siberia. It is collected wild, from remote, pristine forests in the arctic mountains of Siberia, the premier Di Tao source in the world for Chaga. All of the Chaga mushrooms used in Tonic Alchemy™2.0 are at least 20 years old at the time of collection – that is in comparison to most commercial Chaga which is grown artificially in Southeast Asia and is usually just four years old when collected. This Wild Siberian Chaga is rich in active polysaccharides, melanin, phenolic compounds and lanostane-type triterpenoids. It is a powerful antioxidant. The Chaga is extracted using ultra-modern technology to preserve the complete active constituent profile. It is one of the great broad spectrum tonic herbs known to mankind. It is now a major ingredient in Tonic Alchemy™2.0. Chaga modulates immune responses through secretion of Th1/Th2 cytokines (bioactive chemicals) in immune cells, and Chaga regulates antigen-specific antibody production. This modulatory effect is responsible for Chaga's "double-direction" adaptogenic effect on the immune response. This activity is very similar to the same activities long noted in Reishi mushroom (another classic ingredient in Tonic Alchemy™). Because of its double direction adaptogenic activity, Chaga is suitable to all healthy normal individuals seeking a world class tonic to support a wide range of life functions. Transcendent Nutrition Tonic Alchemy™ presents a means of going beyond “normal nutrition” by providing nutrients that most people simply cannot fit into their “normal diet.” Tonic Alchemy™ is loaded with the essential vitamins, amino acids, minerals and phytonutrients that we need on a daily basis to thrive in this modern world. But Tonic Alchemy™ does not just provide conventional nutrients – it transcends conventional nutrition. This blend of 91 superfoods contains literally thousands of phytochemicals, many of which are extremely rare and yet incredibly valuable to human health and wellbeing. Almost every vitamin, mineral, amino acid and co-factor so far discovered in whole natural foods has multiple roles to play in nurturing and protecting the human body and mind. Yet conventional nutrition in our modern society is very limited for many people due to lack of variety, lack of fresh living foods, and due to the adulteration and destruction of nutrients during food growing and processing. And, of course, many of the foods we find ourselves exposed to are in fact harmful and contribute to disease and degeneration. We all need to eat as well as possible to counterbalance the harsh and often-unnatural environmental forces and stress of the modern world. Tonic Alchemy™ is all about variety. Various forms of fresh water algae have earned a place in the superfood pantheon because of their incredible nutritional profiles and “nutrient density.” A number of seaweeds, especially the brown seaweeds, are included because of their extraordinary and safe detoxification and protective actions in humans and because of their rich nutrient profiles. Certain vegetables and sprouts have likewise been proven to be extraordinary sources of nutrients that promote glowing health. Many superfruits are included for their incredible antioxidant activities and for other reasons. Certain mushrooms are included for their potent immune modulating functions and other benefits, especially for the cardiovascular, neurologic and hepatic functions of the body. Tonic Alchemy™ also features adaptogenic herbs that contain substances that fortify our body in many ways and help us adapt to the harshness of this polluted, hazardous, stressful world. There are thousands of “herbs” in the world, but only those in an elite group are known as the “tonics,” or by the Asian term “superior herbs.” And these are not just the normal commercial grade tonic herbs found elsewhere – these are the premium tonic herbs in the world sourced from the most remote and pristine regions. They are the supertonic herbs. Living probiotic microbes are featured to help re-establish the intestinal microbial balance.   By consuming Tonic Alchemy™, a person is assured that they are consuming a full range of the world’s ultimate life-enhancing foods and tonic herbs. These nutrients help protect our body from toxins, ailments and even accidents. They enhance our immunity, cellular respiration and metabolism, illness control, tissue regeneration capacity, and longevity. Furthermore, they can play a huge role in our performance on every level of our life. Super nutrition can enhance intelligence, intuition, creativity, work performance, athletic performance, sexual performance – and even our personality and attitude toward life, work and family. There is nothing in life that is not influenced by our nutrition, and Tonic Alchemy™ provides amazing nutrients that can help every person to attain optimal personal achievement and well being.

Spring Dragon Longevity Tea The Healthiest Tea on Earth The Multifunctional “Magical Grass” In Asia, Gynostemma is known as a “magical grass.” It has been reported to have a wide range of health-promoting benefits. In Asia, Gynostemma is considered to be:* Invigorating (does not cause hyperactivity – not a stimulant) Calming (promotes a sense of peace – not a sedative) Anti-aging (antioxidant and more) Anti-inflammatory (not as a medicine, but to help reduce the factors that cause low grade, sub-clinical chronic inflammation experienced by all humans) Immune-regulating (not as a medicine, but to help support the normal healthy functioning of various immune functions) A respiratory tonic (improves respiratory efficiency) A digestive aid (Gynostemma is very soothing) Gynostemma has been shown in animal studies to have liver and cardiovascular-protecting benefits and to support normal healthy functioning in these organs.* Adaptogenic Benefits The ultimate greatness of Gynostemma lies in its broad-spectrum adaptogenic (stress-modulating) quality.* Adaptogenic herbs improve the efficiency of the metabolic, neurological, immunologic, respiratory, and endocrine systems. Prolonged consumption of Gynostemma tends to have a highly protective quality because it strengthens the adaptive capacity of the person at every level of their life.* Double-Direction Activity Gynostemma has the ability to bring balance to the body under a wide range of stressful circumstances. Japanese studies have indicated that Gynostemma has a double-direction, regulating, adaptogenic influence on the central nervous system. It is calming when one is overexcited and invigorating when one is fatigued. Gynostemma is widely known for its “spirit-lifting” effect on one’s mood. Gynostemma may have a direct strengthening effect on the heart.* Weight Management Support Gynostemma has developed an enormous reputation in Asia as a major aid in weight management programs: Gynostemma can be useful in reducing excessive body fat, when combined with a reasonable exercise program and a healthy diet. It may also help athletes, bodybuilders, or excessively slim people to gain weight. Gynostemma accelerates the body’s metabolism and helps adjust blood sugar and blood fat levels. Although not a laxative, it may help maintain healthy bowel movements. Acts as a scavenger in the digestive system, ridding the body of toxins and toxic microbes. Protects the stomach lining.* Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory Activity Gynostemma is a potent antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative injury, which can result in chronic inflammation.* Main Active Ingredients: Saponins The saponins in Gynostemma are called gypenosides. There are over 100 gypenosides in Gynostemma. These are responsible for the hepato-protective and adaptogenic qualities of this tonic herb.* The Story of Spring Dragon Longevity Tea In 1972, Japanese researchers reported that Gynostemma tea was being consumed daily as a “longevity tea” by many southern Chinese people. Revered as “magical grass,” it earned its name through its reputed health benefits. Studies revealed that Gynostemma was extremely rich in saponins — even more so than ginseng. As interest grew, cultivation spread, and it became a widely consumed tonic tea. In 1992, Ron Teeguarden, through a serendipitous meeting with Professor Xiao Peigun — one of China’s leading herbal medicine experts — was introduced to the highest-quality Gynostemma. Inspired by traditional methods of supersaturating herbs into tea leaves, Ron created Spring Dragon Longevity Tea with the help of a tea master. In Addition to Gynostemma, This Tea Includes: SchizandraThe “quintessence of Chinese herbs,” used to tonify all systems, cleanse the liver, open the lungs, and nourish the skin. A potent antioxidant.* Goji BerriesA superfood rich in antioxidants, known for enhancing strength, vision, and beauty. Contains immune-potentiating polysaccharides. AstragalusHighly regarded for its immune-regulating effects, energy tonification, and blood support. Eleuthero (Siberian Ginseng)Enhances physical and mental endurance, mood, and stress resilience. Rich in saponins. Luo Han GuoAn exotic fruit used for centuries as a lung tonic. Contains mogroside, an immune-potentiating glucoside. Traditional Function Adaptogenic, anti-aging, immune-regulating, anti-inflammatory, blood sugar-regulating, fat-reducing, tonifying to the Lungs, Heart, Spleen/Pancreas, Liver, and Kidney, and detoxifying.

Young Lungs    The Lungs control Qi. By increasing and decreasing the rate and depth of respiration, one can control one’s energy. Healthy Lungs are moist and clean.    A number of important tonic herbs are traditionally used to enhance the health of the Lungs, and these herbs naturally moisten the Lungs. These herbs are especially useful in dry environments and may be of special importance to those who smoke. All of the herbs in Young Lungs help to improve respiratory efficiency, moisten the respiratory membranes, clear the lungs of phlegm and toxins, and help maintain the immuno-competence of the respiratory system. This is an excellent tonic for those living in poor air quality environments and for those who have experienced weak lungs. It is also an excellent tonic for athletes who require superior respiratory functioning. It is a superb formula for those who are training their lungs and for practitioners of qigong and yoga.   Yin tonic herbs cab help improve the fluid balance in the Lungs. Young Lungs contains the full range of Yin tonic herbs that specifically nourish the Lungs and help remove unhealthy sputum.    American Ginseng is a Yin tonic herb, especially nourishing to the Lungs and skin. American Ginseng is cool in nature. It is an excellent Qi tonic and is widely used to strengthen respiratory function.    Tremella mushroom is strengthens the vital energy, harmonizes the blood and nourishes the brain. It enriches the Kidneys, lubricates the Lungs, promotes the secretion of saliva, nourishes the stomach, and is able to lubricate the intestines.    Glehnia root is a Yin tonic that moistens the lungs and replenishes fluids. Schizandra is a supertonic herb with many actions. It is one of the premier Lung tonics of Chinese herbalism. Schizandra helps rejuvenate the Lungs. Schizandra provides Qi to the Lungs and helps the Lungs further extract Qi from the air we breathe. Adenophora Root has similar properties to Glehnia Root and even looks very similar. It is very useful for resolving and dissolving heated phlegm. Licorice is an excellent Lung tonic. It builds Qi and moistens the Lungs and throat. This herb also helps eliminate toxins from the body and to harmonize the herbs in this formula.   Prince Ginseng (Pseudostellaria Root) is used primarily in tonics to build Qi and to strengthen the Lungs. It is an excellent Lung tonic that generates proper Lung fluids, improves breathing, and helps relieve coughing associated with dryness. Ophiopogon is primarily used as a Yin tonic, and especially as a Yin tonic to the Lungs. It is excellent for moistening any dryness in the body, and especially that of the Lungs. It is cooling and helps relieve dryness due to heat. It is a great herb for people who experience hot, dry lungs.*   Traditional Function: Tonifies Lung Qi, nourishes Lung Yin.*   Who Can Use It: Anyone, and especially those who wish to improve the condition of the Lungs by nurturing the fluids of the Lungs.   Specifications: 100 capsules 500mg each   Ingredients: Tremella fruiting body, Glehnia root, Ophiopogon tuber, Schizandra fruit, Pseudostellaria root tuber, Polygonatumrhizome, Trichosanthes root, White Mulberry leaf, Dolichoris seed, Chinese Licorice root, American Ginseng root.   Other Ingredients: Vegetarian capsules**, rice powder.   Usage: Take 3 capsules, 2 times per day or as directed by a healthcare professional.   Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance.

1 Scoop Per day (20g) 25 servings Total WHAT'S IN ENERGENESIS?   Energenesis is like a 5-star MEAL for your Mitochondria (LOADED with rare nutrients, energy boosters and powerful antioxidants, because your body needs a variety – each one works differently!) AND… we have gone to amazing lengths to source the highest quality ingredients, with unparalleled potency, purity, biological availability, and effectiveness…   If you want to see a breakdown of the exact ingredients and amounts, you can look in the right column of the image below…   It’s a potent cocktail of the most powerful mitochondrial regenerating ingredients designed to literally CHARGE your cells back up, so you can have the energy you had when you were young – ALL DAY ENERGY.   If you’ve been struggling with fatigue or low energy levels, it’s time to stop dragging yourself through the day with caffeine and stimulants…   It’s time to start building REAL ENERGY.   You can certainly use the information here to go out and buy all these compounds as separate supplements, but I strongly encourage you to simply get Energenesis. It’s obviously far more convenient to get everything in one formula rather than fiddling with 20 different bottles and 25 pills each day. Also, you don’t have to worry about dosing everything correctly.   And, on top of that, I’ve tried to make it a complete no brainer for you by making it way cheaper for you to order it this way (as opposed to buying 20+ different supplements).   Energenesis is simply the most powerful formula ever developed for that purpose.UNLIKE PREVIOUS GENERATION “ENERGY SUPPLEMENTS,” IT CONTAINS NO STIMULANTS, NO CAFFEINE, AND NO SUGAR. THIS ISN’T ABOUT GIVING YOU A FAKE ENERGY BOOST, WHILE ACTUALLY MAKING YOUR ENERGY LEVELS WORSE OVER TIME. Energenesis builds REAL ENERGY! This is not a supplement designed to fill to people’s desire for quick fixes and instant gratification through stimulants and temporary boosts of fake energy. Energenesis is for people looking for REAL ANSWERS, who want to address ROOT CAUSES, and want to build real energy at the cellular level. As a result, the energy your mitochondria produce naturally decreases over time, reducing your health and longevity — and ultimately, causing fatigue. On top of that, stressors in our life — from psychological stress, to environmental toxins (like heavy metals and air pollutants), to a poor diet, to poor gut health, to chronic inflammation — all cause mitochondrial damage, dysfunction and shut down (they shift out of energy mode into a cell protection response). Research is now showing that these three things — the loss of mitochondria, the damage/dysfunction of mitochondria, and the shut down of mitochondria — are the primary factors that drive low energy levels. In other words, if you’ve got low energy levels, it likely simply means that your mitochondria have become weak, damaged, dysfunctional, and switched off over time.   ENERGENESIS INGREDIENTSWhat's Inside The Most Powerful Energy Supplement Ever CreatedMITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE SUPPORT COMPLEX   NT FACTOR PHOSPHOLIPIDS   NTFactor® is a digestion-resistant phospholipid complex that supplies the materials necessary to repair and regenerate damaged cell membranes directly to mitochondria, a treatment called lipid replacement therapy [1].    By supplying the bioactive phospholipids that mitochondria require to naturally replace damaged membrane components, NTFactor® is able to regenerate dysfunctional mitochondria, increase energy production, and enhance the energy levels of those using it.   Numerous studies have shown that NTFactor® reduces fatigue by 24–43 percent among those with chronic fatigue syndrome or conditions associated with fatigue, like general aging, obesity, lyme disease, and Gulf War Illness [2]. In older adults, NTFactor® restored mitochondrial function to a level matching healthy 29 year-olds [3].   ASTAXANTHIN   Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful membrane-specific antioxidants in existence. Not only is it 30–85 percent more potent than vitamin E and carotenoids like β-carotene, lycopene, and lutein [4], but it has a unique polar structure that allows it to cross through, protect, and stabilize the entire mitochondrial membrane [5].   Due to astaxanthin’s consistent and powerful ability to prevent oxidative damage and dysfunction to mitochondria [6–8], some researchers have even determined it to be “mitochondria-targeted antioxidant” [9].   Interventions have shown that astaxanthin supplementation increases muscular strength and power output in fatigued adults [10], enhances muscular endurance and recovery in recreational athletes [11,12], and reduces muscle damage and oxidative stress in elite soccer players [13].   MITOCHONDRIAL ENERGY PRODUCTION COFACTOR COMPLEX   ACETYL-L-CARNITINE   Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is a special form of carnitine that achieves two goals: (1) it supplies the carnitine your mitochondria need to produce energy, and (2) it provides an acetyl moiety that your mitochondria use to remain youthful and healthy.   The carnitine shuttle system is essential for bringing fatty acids into mitochondria to be used for energy production, and carnitine deficits (even mild ones) have been documented in those with chronic fatigue [14]. Moreover, over 20 percent of mitochondrial proteins rely on acetyl moieties to properly function, including those involved in antioxidant defenses and energy production [15,16].   For these reasons, some researchers have proposed that ALCAR should be considered a “mitochondrial rejuvenator” [17]. In chronically fatigued older adults, ALCAR supplementation led to profound benefits to their wellbeing — a 24 percent increase in physical function and close to a whopping 50 percent reduction in mental fatigue, physical fatigue, and overall fatigue severity [18].   CREATINE   Creatine is a molecule necessary for rapid and explosive energy production when energy needs cannot be immediately met by our mitochondria. Supplementation works by increasing the amount of available creatine within our muscles.   This not only increases muscular performance, but also helps stimulate mitochondrial energy production when faced with signals to do so (like being physically active) [24], enhance mitochondrial biogenesis and integrity [25], and protect mitochondria from oxidative damage [26,27].   Accordingly, creatine is one of the most extensively researched supplements for improving exercise performance, muscle strength, and power output in people of all ages [28–32].   COENZYME Q10   Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential component of mitochondrial energy production, serving as both an antioxidant and an energy-transferring molecule. As such, deficits in CoQ10 will not only lead to a cessation of energy production, but also an increase in oxidative damage.   Individuals with chronic fatigue regularly show deficiencies in CoQ10 concentrations throughout the body [33], as do those with conditions in which fatigue is a common symptom, like fibromyalgia [34–36], those who have survived heart attacks or heart failure [37,38], and multiple sclerosis [39,40].   Supplementation with CoQ10 improves fatigue, autonomic nervous system activity (the part of the nervous system involved in rest and recovery), and biochemical parameters of mitochondrial energy production in those with chronic fatigue [41–44], and reduces general fatigue and oxidative stress in healthy adults [45,46].   ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID (IDEALLY R-ALA)   Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a mitochondrial molecule involved in energy metabolism and the antioxidant system. It is not only essential for mitochondria to create cellular energy, but also serves to function as an antioxidant, replenish other antioxidants, and stimulate the production of antioxidant enzymes like glutathione [47].   Accordingly, ALA has been heavily investigated as a mitochondrial rejunivator, able to help reverse age-related declines in mitochondrial energy production [48], particularly within the brian [49,50].    By improving mitochondrial function and protecting against oxidative stress, ALA has been shown to benefit metabolic health [51,52], as well as facilitate weight loss among those who are overweight [53–55].   ALA exists as either an S or R isomer, with unspecified ALA being a 50-50 ‘racemic’ solution of both. Most studies use the racemic solution, but only R-ALA has biological activity in the body and is more bioavailable [56], which is why we use it in Energenesis.   NAD+ REGENERATION COMPLEX   TAURINE   Taurine is an omnipresent amino acid within the body, essential for the development and function of our cardiovascular, muscular, nervous, and ocular systems [57]. It’s also essential for mitochondrial energy production and protein synthesis [58,59]   The highest amounts of taurine are in tissues with huge energy requirements and a lot of mitochondria, such as the retina, nerves, kidney, heart, and skeletal muscle [60]. If mitochondria don’t have enough taurine, energy production decreases and oxidative stress increases [61].   Insufficient taurine has been implicated in numerous chronic disease states [62,63], and several clinical trials have shown that supplementing with taurine reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in those with metabolic dysfunction [64–66].   Additionally, a meta-analysis reported that taurine supplementation improved endurance exercise performance, particularly power output and the amount of time that people could run before exhaustion [67].   MAGNESIUM   Magnesium is required for over 300 enzymes to function properly — muscle contractions, blood vessel regulation, insulin signaling, the synthesis of DNA and proteins, and nerve transmission all require magnesium [68].   One of the enzymes that relies on magnesium is ATP synthase, which is responsible for generating cellular energy (ATP) within mitochondria. Without magnesium, your mitochondria simply can’t function efficiently [69,70].   Energenesis provides two forms of magnesium, citrate and malate, which are both cofactors for mitochondrial energy production themselves.   B3 VARIANTS (NMN, NR, NIACIN & NIACINAMIDE)   Niacin is an essential component of energy-carrying molecules within the mitochondria, all of which are derivatives of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). NAD+ is important for energy production, mitochondrial function, and cellular repair processes.   The primary route of NAD+ synthesis is through something called the salvage pathway, in which niacinamide serves as the starting molecule. We can also make NAD+ from nicotinic acid using an alternative pathway, which is why we’ve included both forms in Energenesis to ensure that NAD+ generation is not being impeded by a simple vitamin insufficiency.   MITOCHONDRIAL ENERGY PRODUCTION COFACTOR COMPLEX   POMEGRANATE   Pomegranate is a rich source of ellagitannins, potent antioxidant molecules that can be further metabolized into other antioxidant derivatives like ellagic acid and urolithins [71,72]. These substances have been heavily investigated for their mitochondrial and cardiovascular benefits.   Pomegranate ellagitannins and their derivatives have been shown to enhance mitochondrial function [73] and increase rates of mitophagy (mitochondria + autophagy) [74,75], which is a quality control pathway that preserves mitochondrial health by targeting damaged mitochondria for autophagic degradation, making anything that facilitates mitophagy absolutely vital for optimal health and disease prevention.   In recreational endurance athletes, supplementing with pomegranate extract for just two weeks increased the total time the athletes could cycle before complete exhaustion by 14 percent and increased the amount of time they could rely on their mitochondria to supply most of their energy by 10 percent [76].   Moreover, pomegranate supplementation has been shown to reduce blood lipid oxidation and the accumulation of plaque in arteries [77], particularly in people who have higher levels of oxidative stress [78,79].   GREEN TEA CATECHINS   Green tea (Camellia Sinensis) catechins are four phytochemical molecules, the most potent one being epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). It has been implicated in benefiting almost every organ system in the body in doses you can obtain easily from simply drinking green tea [87–89].   EGCG is neuroprotective [90,91], cardioprotective [92,93], anti-obesity [94–96], anti-carcinogenic [97,98], and anti-diabetic [99], all due primarily to its ability to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis, enhance energy production, and protect mitochondria from oxidative stress [100,101].   Supplementation of EGCG plus resveratrol (another ingredient of Energenesis) has been shown to significantly increase mitochondrial function and the use of fatty acids for energy production [102], and several meta-analyses have concluded that EGCG reduces body weight and body fat [103–106], particularly abdominal fat [107].    GYNOSTEMMA   Gynostemma is a climbing vine native to SouthEast Asia and related to Panax Ginseng, containing many of the same bioactive molecules. Unlike ginseng, however, gynostemma also possesses an array of gypenosides that have been shown to upregulate several signaling molecule likes sirtuins and AMPK which facilitate mitochondrial function and biogenesis [108–110].   Clinical trials have shown that supplementation with gynostemma improves metabolic health through these mechanisms. A study of overweight men and women reported that supplementing with 450 mg of gynostemma daily for 12 weeks reduced total abdominal fat by 6%, visceral fat by 10%, and subcutaneous fat by 4% compared to a placebo [111].   Drinking 6 grams of gynostemma in the form of a tea lowered fasting glucose and insulin resistance each by 30% compared to a placebo after 12 weeks in adults with type 2 diabetes [112], and supplementing with 80 mL of gynostemma extract may improve liver health alongside dieting more than dieting alone in adults with fatty liver disease [113].   ASHWAGANDHA (SHODEN EXTRACT)   Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a nightshade revered in Ayurvedic medicine for its physical- and mental-enhancing effects [114]. Today, it’s considered an adaptogen for similar reasons, able to increase a person’s resilience to stress and help reduce anxiety [115,116].   These effects are largely due to its constituent withanolide structures, which have several important neuroprotective effects within the brain, such as scavenging free radicals, reducing neuroinflammation, and promoting neurotransmitter signaling [117]. They also improve mitochondrial function and energy production [118].   In Energenesis, we use the most potent form of ashwagandha, a 35% withanolide concentrate called the Shoden extract. Just 240 mg of Shoden ashwagandha reduces stress and anxiety by 30% in mildly stressed adults [119], while a mere 60 mg can boost DHEA-S and testosterone by 15–18% in middle-aged men [120].   In another large randomized placebo-controlled trial of 150 men and women, supplementing 120 mg has been documented to improve physical and psychological quality of life by 8% and enhance sleep quality by 40% compared to placebo, including dramatically improving the time it took to fall asleep, total sleep time, and nightly awakenings [121].   Other studies have shown ashwagandha supplementation to reduce perceived stress, anxiety, and depression in mildly stressed healthy adults [122,123], adults battling chronic mental stress [124], and adults with an anxiety disorder [125].   PANAX GINSENG   Panax ginseng has been used medicinally for thousands of years in China, Korea, and Japan to alleviate physical and mental fatigue. While there are several types of ginseng on the market, panax ginseng is considered the “true” ginseng.   At a fundamental level, panax ginseng works to protect mitochondria from oxidative damage and improve energy production under conditions of oxidative stress [126,127]. A systematic review and meta-analysis of five studies in chronic fatigue patients found significant benefits of ginseng supplementation for reducing fatigue severity [128], with reductions of 20 percent after one month not being uncommon [129,130].   PQQ (PYRROLOQUINOLINE QUINONE)   Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) is a potent stimulator of pathways involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant defenses [131,132]. In particular, it stimulates pathways shared by exercise training and is believed to potentiate and enhance activity-induced benefits on mitochondria [133].   Supplementation has been shown to reduce fatigue and increase vigor by 20 percent in adults complaining of poor sleep and energy levels, as well as improve mood, sleep quality, and overall quality of life [134]. In another study of healthy adults, PQQ reduced inflammation and improved markers of mitochondrial respiration [135].   References

Product Details One of Nature's greatest adaptogens Immune system modulator Central nervous system stimulant Cardiovascular tonic Regulates blood sugar & lipids Anti-inflammatory Tonic to the lungs, spleen & kidneys Excellent for adrenal fatigue Traditionally used as a 'spirit herb' for treating the body, subtle energies & mind Nyishar 'RenShen' is a concentrated extract of the best Ginseng in the world - 18 year old wild-simulated Panax Ginseng harvested from the protected Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve. Ginseng is a world famous herbal medicine known for providing energy & stamina, but most of what is available on the global market is young cultivated roots, harvested after just a few years of age. When we allow Ginseng to mature beyond 7 years it becomes less stimulating with a more balanced & harmonious energising effect - a well rounded potency that develops greater benefits & complexity with each passing year. Ginseng that has aged beyond 10 years is very expensive due to its superior quality, and Ginseng in it teenage years is even more sought after and more difficult to obtain. It is wild Ginseng however, that has had the highest reputation as a supreme tonic for thousands of years throughout Asia, and is revered in traditional medical systems as a panacea. When aged it produces a sublime flavour & aroma, and the adaptogenic nature of the wild root is incomparable to it cultivated counterpart. However, wild Ginseng has been hunted to the precipice of extinction within its native ecosystems throughout Asia. Ginseng is a very important indicator species for the biodiversity of healthy forest ecosystems, so it has a lot of important work to do aside from providing medicine for people. This is why wild-simulated Ginseng is the sustainable option that we should be focusing on, as it provides medicine equal in quality to truly wild roots, without endangering the presence of Panax Ginseng in the wild. Wild-simulated Ginseng is produced from wild seeds that have been sustainably collected from Ginseng growing out in the wilderness. The seeds are then sown in a private, protected area within the same region, where the climate and ecological factors mirror those from where the seeds were originally harvested. The plants are then left alone and allowed to grow, responding to the stresses and trials of the natural elements, while being observed from a distance. As these plants are made to fend for themselves, some of them may not make it, but the ones that do prevail are left to reach maturity and develop the complex chemical profile and balanced energetic nature that wild Ginseng is famous for. The fact that the seeds are sown by hand and the plants are grown in a private area protected from other people, means that these cannot be classified as truly wild, but 'wild-simulated'. This enables the plants to develop medicinal potency equal to their wild counterpart, but without adding further stress to Ginseng's ability to survive in the wild. 'RenShen' is the Mandarin name for Asian Ginseng, which translates as 'man root'. Ginseng earned this name firstly because the central root grows limb-like appendages that resemble human form, but also because it is believed to revitalise all 3 aspects of the human organism - the body, subtle energies and the mind. Our 18 year old wild-simulated roots are macerated for 2 months in organic micro-distilled, hand made, small batch alcohol (40% abv). The liquid solvent of this extract is alcohol produced from French heirloom wheat, fermented and then distilled in five separate stages. It is then filtered through pure ocean sands from a protected region of the Atlantic coast in the Dune Du Pilat. Finally, the alcohol level is reduced in successive stages with water from the ancient and deep Eocene water table from the surrounding area. This process creates the purest and highest quality solvent possible for this superlative extract. Each bottle contains at least 15,000mg of wild-simulated Ginseng, providing 500mg per dose (30 drops/1 squirt). Supplement Facts Ingredients: 18 year old Wild-Simulated Panax Ginseng Root (15,000mg), Pure Quintuple-Distilled Alcohol (40% alcohol). Bottled in Miron Violet Glass for complete UV protection. Volume: 50ml Serving Size: 30 drops/one full squirt Serving Per Container: 50 Directions: Squirt the tincture into the mouth underneath the tongue and hold it in the mouth for at least 2 minutes before swallowing.

Eleuthero   Eleuthero, also known as Siberian Ginseng, is an adaptogenic herb that improves the ability to handle stress. Eleuthero (Latin: Eleutherococcus senticosus) has been shown to help modulate the activation of the adrenal cortex in response to stress. Eleuthero helps to increase physical and mental endurance and helps to improve memory. Eleuthero benefits mental and physical endurance and has anti-fatigue activity. Eleuthero aids in the recovery from hard exercise. Eleuthero has been shown to improve mental alertness and work output, and aids in the recovery from mental exertion. Eleuthero helps to build blood and improves the ability of the body to absorb and efficiently use oxygen. Eleuthero supports immune function. Eleuthero is mildly stimulating. Most people will feel its effects quickly. However, its real benefits are cumulative and long term. Eleuthero contains chemical constituents, saponins, that are very similar to those in Ginseng and Gynostemma, known as eleutherosides. These active constituents provide the basis of Eleuthero's adaptogenic actions and performance enhancing actions.*   Traditional Function: Tonifies Qi*   Specifications: 100 Capsules, 500 mg each   Ingredients: Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) root (Siberian Ginseng).   Other Ingredients: Vegetarian capsules**, rice powder   Usage:  Take 3 capsules, 2 times per day or as directed by a healthcare professional.   Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance.
