[What is Siberian Ginseng?]

Eleutherococcus, also known as eleuthero or Siberian ginseng, grows in mountain forests and is native to eastern Asia including China, Japan, and Russia. Traditional Chinese Medicine has used eleutherococcus for reducing lethargy, fatigue, and low stamina as well as increasing endurance and resilience to environmental stresses. Eleutherococcus is considered an “adaptogen,” a term that describes herbs or other substances that, when ingested, appears to help an organism increase resistance to stress. There is strong evidenceEleutherococcus senticosus increases endurance and mental performance in patients with mild fatigue and weakness.

Green Tea and Weight Control

Green Tea Promotes Healthy Weight: Of the four primary polyphenols in green tea, research reveals that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most effective. According to a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, whole Green Tea Complex can increase thermogenesis, thus stimulating weight loss.
 Components in green tea can increase thermogenesis by up to over 40%. What makes green tea so revolutionary is this simple fact: green teaps ability to stimulate thermogenesis (heat creation increases metabolic rate which in turn stimulates weight loss) is not accompanied by an associated increase in heart rate. Scientists have found that green tea stimulates thermogenesis and this effect cannot be completely attributed to its caffeine content because the thermogenic effect of green tea is greater than an equivalent amount of caffeine.
 Clinical studies conducted by Dr. Abdul Dulloo, of the University of Geneva in Switzerland discovered that green tea weight loss programs raise metabolic rates and accelerate fat oxidation.
 The investigators measured the 24-hour energy expenditure of 10 healthy men receiving three doses of caffeine (50 mg), green tea extract (containing 50 mg caffeine and 90 mg EGCG), or a “dummy” placebo per day. The study authors report that, compared with placebo, subjects taking green tea extract had a “significant increase” (+4%) in daily energy expenditure.
 As Dr. Abdul Dulloo mentioned about this experimental green tea weight loss program, “Stimulation of thermogenesis and fat oxidation by the green tea extract” did not raise subjects’ heart rates, the researchers note. This may render green tea superior to stimulant diet drugs, which can have adverse cardiac effects, especially in “obese individuals with hypertension and other cardiovascular complications.”
 Green tea is the first and only all natural fat burning product which can selectively increase fat oxidation without jitters and mood swings, increased heart rate, heart palpitations, and other similar side effects associated with Ma-Haung, (ephedrine). Researchers theorize that one of green tea’s mechanisms of action relies on the synergy between EGCG and caffeine. These effects heighten the impact of norepinephrine, the neurotransmitter that plays a large role in the control of thermogenesis and fat oxidation for weight loss.
 In addition to its weight loss effect, green tea protects against a number of conditions that are very common among the obese:
 Green tea has been found to reduce the risk of having a stroke.
 Green tea has anti-cancer and anti-tumor effects.
 Green tea can also improve glucose/insulin levels and blood lipid profile.
