Energy Vitality Liquid Phyto-Caps contain a blend of herbs (including eleuthero, green tea, licorice, and schizandra) that work synergistically to enhance energy and promote vitality.*

• To Support the Over-Worked Individual from Normal Fatigue*
• Promotes Adaptation to Stress and Supports the Body's Stamina*

Eleuthero provides ultimate support for enhanced energy and stamina and encourages a healthy response to stress. It is an adaptogen, a substance that helps the body adapt to various types of stress. In order to achieve this status a plant must be harmless. It must also have a broad-spectrum, normalizing action that brings an organism back to homeostasis. Through Russian research, Eleuthero became the model for all other adaptogens. In the late ‘60s and ‘70s studies were conducted in over 2,100 healthy people which showed that Eleuthero increased the ability of subjects to withstand stress such as heat, noise, motion, exercise, and increase in workload. Subjects also experienced increases in mental alertness and work output.*

Green Tea is rich in polyphenols, which scavenge free radicals, and supports both normal cholesterol levels and the immune system. Green Tea contains hundreds of pharmacologically active chemicals. The most researched of these are the alkaloids (thoebromine, theophylline, and caffeine), tannins, and phenolic acids. The thermogenic properties of Green Tea and its role in encouraging the healthy metabolism of sugars make it an excellent choice for the support of a weight management protocol. The antioxidant activity of Green Tea is well documented and attributed to the polyphenols known collectively as catechins; epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechingallate (EGCG) and epicatecatechingallate (ECG). The chemical structure of these antioxidants not only impedes the action of free radicals as oxidative stressors but prevents their formation. Many integrative health protocols for the support of the immune system involve using natural health supplements high in antioxidants, including Green Tea which has substantial in vitro clinical validation of its supportive role in reducing the effects of oxidative stress.*

Licorice supports healthy adrenal function and promotes vitality. Licorice contains triterpenoid saponins notably glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid as well as a fair amount of flavonoids and flavones like liquiritin and numerous chalcones and isoflavones. Licorice is covered by a positive Commission E monograph and can be used for catarrh of the upper respiratory tract as well as gastric and duodenal ulcers in Germany as an "OTC" medicine. Although there have been numerous studies conducted on animals and humans involving both isolated chemicals from licorice and various preparations more research is needed to determine the exact mechanism of the various actions of Licorice. That being said it remains one of the most widely used and trusted herbal medicines among traditional botanical practitioners.*

Schizandra balances endocrine functions and support healthy liver function. Schizandra is, like eleuthero, classified as an adaptogenic herb. The major chemical constituents in Schizandra berry are; schizandrin, deoxyschizandrin, schisanhenol, schizandrol, sesquicarene, citral, stigmasterol, and vitamins C and E. Much of the clinical research has focused on the effects of Schizandra on liver function, especially its effect on the production of various liver detoxifying enzymes and the activation of the CYP450 enzyme system, as well as the antioxidant activity of the extract.*
