Herbal Nutritional Mood Support by Ridgecrest Herbals.
Anxiety is a physiological state usually associated with fear, apprehension, worry, and stress. It can cause heart palpitations, increased blood pressure and perspiration, nausea, headaches, stomach upset, and other unpleasant symptoms. The stresses of modem life and the inadequacy of our weslern diet have led to an upswing in anxiety for many people. These factors combine to rapidly deplete the body of the nutrients it needs to properly control and balance energy levels and mood, leaving us irritable, emotionally on edge, and anxious.

Discovered by Russian Scientists, Adaptogens are specific plant extracts that control excess Cortisol levels during times of stress. Cortisol in excess amounts is highly toxic, attacks muscle mass and organs, lengthens recovery time, and diminishes strength as well as the immune system.
During the mid 1950’s, the Soviet government chartered their Academy of Sciences with the task of developing a product that would enhance the performance of their elite (i.e. Olympic athletes, Bolshoi Ballet, World Class Chess Players and Cosmonauts). They put 1,200 scientists on the task and they conducted over 3,000 studies with 500,000 people. Their research went on for 45 years!
The scientists decoded thousands of plants and found 10 rare plants in a far eastern Russian area called the Primorye. These plants provided the basis for achieving the three objectives as well as control the production of Cortisol during times of stress. They coined the word ADAPTOGEN for the plants that demonstrated those properties.

Ironman® Competitor Eric Harr Reveals His Performance Secret
World Class Triathlete Depends on SIBERGIN® for Physical, Mental Energy
As a professional triathlete and journalist, I experience stress on a daily basis – from endurance training to the mental exhaustion associated with my media work,” states Harr. “SIBERGIN® has been a key part of my nutritional regime for many years. It has helped me adapt physically and mentally to the stress in my life.” As an adpatogen, that is exactly what Siberian ginseng (or technically, eleuthero) – the star herb in SIBERGIN® – is renowned for. Adaptogens are a class of herbs that help the body adapt to all kinds of stress. In order to qualify as an adaptogen, an herb has to meet three key qualifications. First, the herb must produce a non-specific stress response in an organism. That means that instead of acting on a specific pathway, adaptogens simply increase a person’s overall resistance to stress.
Second, the herb must have a normalizing influence on physiology, in whatever direction is needed to maintain normal health. And third, the herb must be incapable of influencing normal body functions more than required to gain non-specific resistance. In other words, it has a safe balancing activity.1 Very few herbs qualify as true adaptogens. But eleuthero is one of them.
One of the world’s most researched herbs, eleuthero is the subject of dozens of studies, most of which were performed in the Soviet Union, where the herb naturally grows. The herb is of great interest to athletes like Harr, because it has been shown to enhance human performance under stressful conditions. A Japanese study, for example, tested the effects of eleuthero on participants’ total work output while riding a stationary bike. The researchers found that subjects who took eleuthero increased total work output by 23.3 percent, compared to a rise of only 7.5 percent for placebo.2
