Because millions of Americans are exhausted to the point of fatigue, they gulp down caffeine, sugar, ma huang, guarana and other stimulants to help them “get through the day.” These stimulants, however, do not generate energy. Instead, they send metabolism into overdrive, and further drain vital energy reserves. This is, of course, why they result in still further exhaustion.

Holistic health disciplines teach that real energy is possible only when the body’s major organ systems work as a well balanced team. In other words, the Spleen and Lung systems extract nutrients from foods and air; the Heart system absorbs these nutrients into the blood and distributes them to the cells; the Liver system cleanses the blood to remove toxins that drain energy; and the Kidney system regulates water metabolism which helps insure that the sodium- potassium pump in every cell opens and closes to receive nutrition and expel metabolic waste. Thus, to build real energy, the goal must be to support all these systems.

Through its SuperTonic herbs — which have been used to maintain or restore abundant energy for thousands of years —Energy Plus provides hundreds of nutrients that are found nowhere else in Nature. These nutrients are thought to support and balance the organ systems mentioned above. Because these nutrients include premade energy fuels (like glycogen), Energy Plus is superb as an occasional “pick me up.” But, when used as part of a daily regimen, its benefits accrue, day by day, until energy increases to levels you might never have thought possible. And, as this occurs, immunity, memory, mental focus and general well being also improve.

It is important to remember that real energy has nothing to do with the “buzz” created by stimulants. Energy Plus will not keep you awake, or impart that nervous feeling that makes it impossible to relax. Instead, its energy is clean, clear and lasting. You’ll know it’s working because, at those times of the day when you would normally start to wear down, you’ll still be vitally alert and aware. You’ll be thinking more clearly, functioning more efficiently, and feeling as if you could continue your workload for hours to come.

Because Americans are steeped in Western medical thought, we regard herbs, almost exclusively, as drugs. The Chinese, however, enjoy two distinctly different herbal systems. One of these is, of course, medical in Nature, and serves the purposes of reversing symptoms and fighting disease. The second, however, is called “Superior Tonic Herbalism,” and is used not to combat specific illness, but to build health.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, over 1100 herbs are used to correct specific health problems. While these herbs are effective against many illnesses, most of them cannot be used on a long term basis, and are safe only when their use is monitored by a qualified practitioner. About 50 of these herbs, however -- the “Superior Tonic Herbs,” -- form the basis of a second herbal discipline. These herbs have been used for over 3500 years, and are completely safe for long term use by virtually anyone. They are so safe, in fact, that they are regarded more as foods than medicines, and are used daily by hundreds of millions of Asians.

Tonics are defined, of course, as agents that invigorate, strengthen or restore, which is exactly what the Superior Tonic Herbs do. To qualify as a Superior Tonic, an herb must tonify one or more of the five Organ Systems (Heart, Lung, Kidney, Liver and Spleen), as well as one or more of the Three Treasures (energies) known as Jing, Qi, and Shen. The larger the number of Organ Systems and Treasures an herb supports, the more valuable it is thought to be in maintaining or restoring health.

By providing hundreds of nutritional compounds that exist nowhere else in Nature, Superior Tonic Herbs support metabolism, organs and energies in ways that no other foods or supplements can. Energy Plus combines these herbs to simultaneously tonify all five of the Organ Systems and all three of the “energy treasures” mentioned above. Because of this, it will build clean, clear, and lasting energy to levels you might never have thought possible.

The human body responds quite predictably to the foods we eat and the activities in which we engage. When we obtain correct nutrition, exercise at least mildly, and balance stress with relaxation, we enjoy abundant energy, are rarely ill, and exhibit generally cheerful attitudes. When we do not, we become lethargic and listless, experience frequent colds, flus, aches, pains and other ailments, and may be short tempered, anxious and irritable.

Sadly, most Americans know so little about health that, as energy wanes, they reach for coffee, sugar, ma huang* (ephedra), amphetamines and so on. But, instead of producing new energy, these stimulants drain energy reserves. They create the illusion of energy by forcing the body to operate in overdrive. In doing this, they may damage the Kidney and Heart Systems.

Because adequate energy is possible only when the five Organ Systems function efficiently, it is difficult to know which system is failing, and to what degree, when energy drops. Thus, the best way to overcome energy deficiency is to support all five of the Organ Systems. Nothing else can do this as effectively, as quickly, or as completely as the Superior Tonic Herbs of Asia.

Asia is not, of course, the only continent blessed with plants that have tonic properties. Indeed, plants throughout the world exhibit similar qualities. But, the great Asian herbalists have, over a period of 4000 years, developed a system of growing, harvesting, preparing and combining its tonics that no Western discipline even approaches. It is this system that makes Superior Tonic Herbalism the world’s foremost health building discipline.

* Note: In fairness, it must be said that Ma Huang is among the most revered of all Asian medicinal herbs. But, in Asia, it is combined with other herbs to moderate its stimulating properties, and used for very specific purposes. It is never used as a stimulant, and no self-respecting Oriental Medical Doctor would ever consider using it as it is commonly used in this country.

In Superior Tonic Herbalism, energy is divided into three categories, which are called the Three Treasures. These are Jing, Qi (pronounced “chee”), and Shen. Jing is the deep energy reserve we inherit at birth; Qi is the circulating energy that fuels our daily activities; and Shen is the energy that drives mental, emotional and spiritual pursuits, and resides in the Heart.

While Qi is the energy we feel in our daily lives, it is impossible for any of the three energies to decline without dragging the others down with it. Thus, to revitalize Qi, we must also tonify (invigorate, strengthen or restore) Jing and Shen. The Superior Tonic Herbs are the quickest, surest and safest way of doing this.

Energy Plus provides extracts of 13 of Asia’s most revered Superior Tonics (plus 1000 mg. of Spirulina), which combine to form an energy supplement that is beyond compare. Each day’s use of these extracts equates to nearly 20,000 mg. of raw herbal value, and provides powerful, perfectly balanced support for all five of the primary Organ Systems, as well as all three of the Energy Treasures.

Those who use Energy Plus will feel increased energy almost immediately (often within minutes to hours). But, that’s only the beginning, for, the longer you use it, the more your energy will grow. And, as energy increases, virtually every activity of the body, mind and spirit improves. You might have fewer colds and flus, and recover more quickly from them. You will accomplish more at work, at home, and at play. Your life will seem much richer and fuller. And spiritual endeavors will be more accessible and rewarding.

So, if you are chronically, or even occasionally deficient in energy, please accept our invitation to try Energy Plus. And, if you don’t agree that it is the cleanest, clearest, most pleasant energy supplement you have ever used, just return it to your place of purchase for a complete refund.
