Rhodiola rosea is an adaptogen herb
primarily found in Tibet, China, with a documented usage history spanning over
5,000 years.
Modern scientific research has revealed
that Rhodiola rosea exhibits various pharmacological effects, including
resistance to hypoxia and fatigue, protection of cardiac and pulmonary
functions, stabilization of blood oxygen levels, and enhancement of athletic
performance.
Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF) plays a critical role in mitigating hypoxic
responses at high altitudes. [1] Studies have demonstrated that salidroside, an
active compound in Rhodiola rosea, can promote the expression of HIF-1 under
hypoxic conditions, thereby activating downstream signaling pathways and
alleviating hypoxia-induced damage to the body. [2]
Furthermore, Rhodiola rosea protects cardiomyocytes from hypoxia-induced
cellular damage by participating in mitochondrial processes such as acetyl-CoA
synthesis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. [3]
Animal experiments and clinical trials indicate that salidroside enhances
endurance and strength-related athletic performance. [4] It improves exercise
speed and accuracy, reduces mental fatigue, and accelerates reaction times. [5]
Additionally, it alleviates muscle damage and inflammation caused by exercise,
mitigates energy system exhaustion, and counters oxidative stress responses.
[6]
Salidroside increases blood oxygen saturation in hypoxic conditions, decreases
arterial hemoglobin content, and restores blood pH to within the normal range,
thereby improving cardiopulmonary function and alleviating hypoxemia. [4]
Moreover, salidroside aids in restoring normal alveolar cell functions. It reduces
oxidative free radicals, such as malondialdehyde and interleukins, while
increasing antioxidant components like glutathione and superoxide dismutase,
thus protecting the body from oxidative stress-induced damage. [7]

A meta-analysis encompassing 15 randomized controlled trials with a
total of 1,621 participants demonstrated that for patients with osteoarthritis
(OA), turmeric extract and curcumin could alleviate joint pain and stiffness
while improving joint function compared to placebo. However, a noticeable
effect required more than 12 weeks of treatment. In these trials, the daily
doses of turmeric extract or curcumin ranged from 40 mg to 1,000 mg, with no
significant adverse reactions reported [2].
Another meta-analysis involving 29 randomized controlled trials with a total of
2,396 arthritis patients (including ankylosing spondylitis [AS], rheumatoid
arthritis [RA], osteoarthritis [OA], juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and
gout/hyperuricemia-induced arthritis) revealed that daily supplementation with
40–2,000 mg of turmeric extract or curcumin over 4–36 weeks generally mitigated
inflammation severity and pain levels in these patients, with excellent safety
profiles [3].
A third meta-analysis comprising 16 randomized controlled trials involving
1,028 participants indicated that curcumin supplementation positively
influenced liver ultrasound results, serum liver enzymes, and serum total
cholesterol levels in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
These findings suggest that curcumin may serve as a reasonable adjunctive
therapy for NAFLD patients [4].
Additionally, a meta-analysis based on 7 randomized controlled trials with 447
participants suggested that curcumin supplementation beneficially affected serum
markers of inflammation and glycolipid metabolism in patients with polycystic
ovary syndrome (PCOS) [5].
however, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) revised its guidelines on
September 25, 2018, cautioning that individuals with bile duct obstruction,
cholangitis, liver disease, gallstones, or other biliary tract disorders should
avoid curcumin supplements due to potential risks [1].

Ashwagandha is a traditional medicinal
plant originated from South Africa and is also an adaptogen herb, also known as
Kanna or Channa.
Ashwagandha is mainly extracted from the
above-ground part of a succulent plant, which is widely distributed in the arid
regions of South Africa. Local indigenous people, such as the Koisan people,
have been using Ashwagandha for thousands of years as a natural mood regulator
and a herb for treating various diseases.
Modern research shows that Ashwagandha
demonstrates potential in anti-depression, anti-anxiety and mood improvement,
and is also helpful in relieving stress, improving sleep quality, enhancing
memory and concentration.
The main active ingredients of Ashwagandha
are alkaloid compounds, especially mesembrine, which have a significant effect
on the nervous system. Modern research shows that Ashwagandha can increase the
level of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the brain, which is a neurotransmitter
closely related to mood, anxiety and well-being. [1]
Ashwagandha can significantly reduce stress
and anxiety while lowering cortisol levels, with mild side effects. It is a
promising natural mood regulator supplement. [2]
Daily supplementation of 500 mg of
Ashwagandha extract can significantly reduce stress and anxiety, improve
quality of life and cognitive function in people with mild to moderate anxiety
and stress. Its mechanism of action includes reducing cortisol and increasing
serotonin levels, and it has good safety. [3]
The analysis included 12 eligible papers
with a total sample size of 1,002 participants, aged between 25 and 48.
Supplementation with Ashwagandha can significantly reduce anxiety and stress
levels. Current systematic reviews and dose-response meta-analyses of
randomized controlled trials show that supplementation with Ashwagandha has
beneficial effects on both stress and anxiety. [4]
Five randomized controlled trials were
analyzed, involving a total of 400 subjects. Ashwagandha extract has a
beneficial effect on improving sleep in adults. This is particularly prominent
among adults diagnosed with insomnia, with a therapeutic dose of ≥600mg/day and a treatment duration of ≥8
weeks. [5]

Magnesium is one of the essential trace
elements for the human body. It plays a critical role not only in muscle
contraction, nerve function, and bone health but also in facilitating hundreds
of enzymatic reactions that influence the metabolic processes of nearly every
cell. Therefore, maintaining an adequate level of magnesium intake is vital for
overall bodily health. [1]
In the nervous system, magnesium is involved in the transmission of neural
signals between neurons and the regulation of muscle responses. It inhibits
excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate, thereby protecting nerve cells.
By regulating calcium ion influx into neurons, it helps suppress
neuroinflammation and reduce oxidative stress. Clinical studies have
demonstrated that magnesium has a certain alleviating effect on anxiety
symptoms. [2]
A study involving 3,964 participants assessed sleep quality and dietary
magnesium or magnesium supplement intake, adjusting for potential confounding
factors. The results indicated a significant correlation between magnesium
intake and improved sleep quality. Among individuals without depressive
disorders, those in the highest magnesium intake group were less likely to
experience less than 7 hours of sleep and exhibited better sleep quality. In
contrast, among individuals with depressive disorders, no significant
relationship was observed between sleep quality and magnesium intake. However,
within the higher magnesium intake group, depressive symptoms were found to be
reduced. [3]
Different magnesium compound supplements exhibit distinct characteristics: Magnesium
glycinate can soothe the nerves and help to fall asleep. Magnesium malate can
relieve cramps and improve athletic performance. Magnesium citrate can promote
digestion and has a better absorption effect. Triple compound magnesium
supplement, avoiding the insufficiency of the effect of a single ingredient. [4]

Sea moss is rich in vitamins, minerals, and
other bioactive compounds that contribute to its many health-supporting
benefits. Its nutrient-dense profile makes it a valuable addition to a balanced
diet and a powerful ally in supporting various aspects of health, from immune
function to hormonal balance.
The immune-boosting properties of sea moss
make it a valuable addition to your wellness routine. The diverse array of
bioactive nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and polysaccharides,
contributes to its ability to fortify the body's defenses against infections
and illnesses [2].
The unique combination of nutrients,
including polyphenols, flavonoids, and sulfated polysaccharides like
carrageenan, may help promote a healthy immune response [3]. This promotes a
balanced and effective defense against unwanted organisms and compounds.
The natural detoxifying agents present in
sea moss, such as alginates, help remove heavy metals and other toxins from the
body [1]. By
binding to these harmful substances, sea moss aids in their elimination,
promoting a healthy and well-functioning system. This detoxification process is
essential for maintaining optimal health and preventing the accumulation of
toxins that could lead to various health issues.
The carrageenan in sea moss, acting as a
prebiotic, may promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria [4]. A healthy gut
microbiome is essential for efficient digestion and nutrient absorption,
further supporting the body's detoxification processes.
Sea moss has been shown to support heart
health by promoting healthy circulation, supporting a healthy inflammatory
response, and encouraging healthy cholesterol levels [5].
Hormonal balance is crucial for overall
health, and sea moss plays a supportive role in this aspect. The iodine content
in sea moss is particularly noteworthy, as it influences thyroid function—impacting
the production and regulation of hormones throughout the body [6].

NAD+, a pivotal coenzyme, plays an
essential role incellular energy metabolism, DNA damage repair, and
mitochondrial function modulation. NAD⁺ is the "central molecule" of cellular energy metabolism
and anti-aging regulation. Maintaining its stable level is crucial for healthy
aging.[2] With NAD+ supplement, the aging rate of stem cells decreased to about
40% of normal levels.[1]
NAD⁺ is not only the hub of energy metabolism, but also plays the role
of a key signaling factor connecting environmental sensing, cell fate
regulation and disease progression.[3]With the inevitable decline in NAD+ as
you age, your energy production and cellular repair also decline. This
reduction leads to energy loss, mental fatigue, wrinkles, and frequent
sickness. Though there's no way to stop this from happening, you can fill in
the gaps with NAD+ supplementation.
Research on people with chronic fatigue
syndrome evaluated the safety and effectiveness of NAD+ supplementation on
fatigue, quality of life, and sleep quality. The overall consensus is that
supplementing with NAD+ has a positive effect on quality of life and improves
health parameters like anxiety, energy, and immune system response.[4]
Because NAD+ is involved in mechanisms of
DNA repair that help protect cells from damage caused by stress, oxidative
damage, and aging, higher levels (as a result of supplementation) may promote a
more efficient process. One study investigated the role of NAD+ supplementation
on DNA repair. Researchers found that supplementation decreased the
accumulation of endogenous DNA damage and improved DNA repair capacity.
Ultimately, supplementing with NAD+ may positively impact DNA repair in the
context of aging and in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease.[5]
Take it daily to help the body achieve a
higher NAD+ baseline, leading to lasting supports healthy aging, boosts
cellular energy, supports immune function, promotes skin and hair vitality*

Cordyceps is a type of fungus long used in
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).[1 ]It is said to have potent antioxidant
and anti-inflammatory effects, with potential health benefits for improved
heart health, lowered blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, and
more.[2]
In complementary and alternative medicine
(CAM), cordyceps is often used as a natural energy booster. One study found
that daily supplement use gradually increased the maximum oxygen intake (VO2
max) in young adults after three weeks. Researchers believed the results meant
that cordyceps might increase an athlete's tolerance to high-intensity
exercise.[3]
Cordyceps is believed to have potent
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which may help prevent or treat
hyperlipidemia. Results from animal studies linked cordyceps use to lowered
hyperlipidemia. In one such study, a polysaccharide extracted from cordyceps
decreased hamsters' total cholesterol and triglyceride levels.[4]
Cordyceps has been shown to stimulate the
immune system by increasing the activity and production of various immune
cells. A 2023 study concluded that cordyceps can be a safe and effective
treatment to enhance care in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 infection.[5]
In older research, a 2015 randomized controlled trial demonstrated that healthy
adult males taking 1.5 grams of cordyceps daily for four weeks effectively
enhanced their cellular immunity (the destruction of infected cells or
pathogens).[6]
The aging process of tissues and organs is
a natural process accompanied by a gradual weakening of the body. Research
published in 2022 concluded that mushrooms, including cordyceps, may limit some
naturally occurring changes due to age, such as hypertension and memory
decline.[7]

Lion’s mane
mushrooms, also known as Hericium erinaceus, hou tou gu or yamabushitake, have
both culinary and medicinal uses in Asian countries like China, India, Japan,
and Korea.[1]
Studies have found that lion’s mane mushrooms contain two special compounds that can stimulate
the growth of brain cells: hericenones and erinacines [2]
Additionally, animal studies have found
that lion’s mane may help protect against Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, lion’s mane mushroom and
its extracts have been shown to reduce symptoms of memory loss in mice, as well
as prevent neuronal damage caused by amyloid-beta plaques, which accumulate in
the brain during Alzheimer’s disease [3]
A 2020 study of people with mild Alzheimer’s disease found that supplementation with 1 gram of lion’s mane mushroom daily for 49 weeks significantly improved cognitive
test scores compared with a placebo[4]
Research shows that lion’s mane mushrooms
contain powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that may help
reduce the impact of these illnesses.Animal research has found that lion’s mane mushroom extract has anti-inflammatory effects that can
reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in mice [5]
Other animal studies have found that lion’s mane extract can also help regenerate brain cells and improve the
functioning of the hippocampus, a region of the brain that processes memories
and emotional responses[6]
A strong immune system protects the body
from bacteria, viruses, and other disease-causing pathogens. Animal research
shows that lion’s mane mushroom can boost immunity by
increasing the activity of the intestinal immune system, which protects the
body from pathogens that enter the gut through the mouth or nose[7]
