Biochemistry and Mechanisms
Textbook Excerpt: Systemic Mechanisms
The unique constituents in this formulation work synergistically to support energy-producing processes and the digestive tract. Gingerols from fresh ginger root support the production and activity of digestive enzymes. By working with the body to break down food, these gingerols nourish the gut microbiome and promote efficient nutrient absorption, ensuring the body has the raw materials necessary for sustained energy throughout the day.
Bioflavonoids sourced from bitter orange and Cara Cara orange slices maintain the natural elimination pathways (Liver/Kidneys). These constituents promote healthy bile production and flow, which is essential for metabolizing nutrients and maintaining tissue cleanliness. By supporting these natural regenerative processes, the bioflavonoids cultivate a balanced internal environment and systemic balance.
To fortify against the effects of stress, Chinese licorice root provides glycyrrhizin, alongside other naturally occurring substances. Glycyrrhizin supplies raw materials for hormones, nourishing the neuroendocrine system. This mechanism helps the body maintain a balanced stress response and supports hormonal balance, allowing the physical mechanics to adapt to everyday stress and exertion while maintaining vital energy.
