Three Beneficial Health Nutrients You?ve Never Heard Of
The herbal supplement aisle at your local health food store can be a time
consuming and daunting challenge. Shelf after shelf loaded with vitamins and
supplements that sound beneficial, but quite possibly names you may be unfamiliar
with.
Today?s hectic lifestyle chock full of work, errands, gym time, and lack of much
needed rest can lead to low energy levels and a general feeling of malaise.
So where can we turn to for increased energy and vigor without the potential for the
negative health related side effects of caffeine or it?s crash and burn after effects.
Today we?ll take a quick look at three herbs most have never heard of. All three can be
found in abundance growing wild in South America. These three little known herbs can
support all phases of physical activity. From stamina levels to muscle strength and
recovery, to increased libido in both men and women. All three have been shown in
clinical trials to be effective and free of harmful side effects.
MACA
1.) First we?ll take a look at a Maca, a hardy perennial plant that grows in the Andean
Mountain range at altitudes of 11,000 to 14,500 feet. This plant grows in some of he
most inhospitable regions of the Andes. Considered by many to be the top frost
resistant plant. Research has discovered that the root and bark are the main source for
the beneficial effects.
Key benefits:
* Taken daily this nutrient has been shown to increase physical energy and stamina.
* Considered by top researchers to be a true adaptogen. An adaptogen was a term
coined in the 1930?s by Russian scientists who were studying plant medicine.
Adaptogen refers to a plant that promotes non specific benefits to an organism while
inducing no negative side effects. They also work with the body?s natural rhythms to
help rebuild weak immune systems and re-mineralize poorly nourished bodies.
* When taken daily Maca has been shown to improve sexual performance and energy.
* Taken daily Maca has been shown to help women achieve hormonal balance.
* Maca does not contain hormones itself, instead it provides a unique set of nutrients
that directly fuel the endocrine system.
* Contributes to an overall sense of well being.
MUIRA PUAMA
2.) Next we are on to Muira Puama. This small tree/bush is native to the Amazonian
Rainforest. Growing up to five meters in height it produces strong smelling blooms that
have a fragrance similar to that of Jasmine. The bark and the root is the part that is
used for the benefits.
Key benefits:
* Considered by the South American Indians to be a tonic for the nervous system.
* Capable of promoting overall nerve function.
* Helps to prevent or treat nerve pain and disorders of the nervous system.
Three beneficial health nutrients you?ve never heard of
* Reduces fatigue
* Enhances memory
* Relieves depression
* Well known for it?s ability to improve erectile function and libido enhancement. (As a
side note, unless proper preparation methods are employed the active constituents
thought to be responsible for the potency and libido effect will not be absorbed by the
body.)
SUMA
3.) Finally we have Suma. Suma is a large, shrubby ground vine that has an intricate
and deep root system. Due to it?s similarities with ginseng it also goes by the name
Brazilian ginseng. Historically harvested in the wild, Suma has been domesticated and
farmed for some time. Suma grows in the tropical areas of the Amazon Basin.
Key benefits:
* Traditionally Suma has been used as a food that provides stamina and endurance.
* Also known to be an adaptogen
* Inhibits cancer
* Reduces inflammation
* Enhances immune response
* In the western world Suma is used as a tonic for the cardiovascular system, the
central nervous system, the reproductive system, and the digestive system.
* Researchers have identified in Suma root almost all of the amino acids, many trace
minerals such as iron, magnesium, cobalt, silica, and zinc, as well as vitamins A, B1,
B2, B6, and E. It also contains high amounts of the trace element germanium, which is
known as a powerful immune stimulator.
Separately these potent and dynamic herbs are a great way to enhance your stamina,
energy, libido, and overall sense of well being, taken together these herbs work
synergistically to provide even more bang for your buck. To learn more about how you
