What Is Clear Energy ?
Clear Energy was formulated by master herbalists to provide sustained, balanced energy and to invigorate the whole mind and body. Ground breaking research indicates that the ingredients contained in Clear Energy can be used safely to invigorate the body and enliven the mind. The herbs in Clear Energy are rich in phytonutrients and have been used for thousands of years in China, Europe, and South America.

This formulation uses only the finest quality premium grade herbal ingredients available, many of which are wild crafted or woods grown rather than cultivated. The specially selected herbs in Clear Energy are 100% pesticide and herbicide free.


What is an Adaptogen?
For thousands of years, people around the world have been using adaptogens to help their bodies deal with the effects of stress. The Chinese described adaptogens as superior plants that perform vital, supportive functions in the body, helping it adapt and remain healthy in unfavorable conditions.

Ancient cultures revered adaptogenic herbs for their profound balancing properties. For more than 40 years, adaptogens have been scientifically proven in clinical and laboratory studies for their therapeutic value, safety and effectiveness. To be considered a true adaptogen, a plant must conform to the following criteria:

1. It must be non-toxic and totally harmless to the body.
2. It must allow the continued normal physiological functioning of the individual.
3. The action it exerts must be nonspecific and should maintain normal body functions despite a wide range of onslaughts, stresses and traumas.
4. It should normalize body functions irrespective of existing pathological conditions.

Some Key Ingredients in Clear Energy
American Ginseng: Known to enhance energy, adaptability, and heighten alertness, American Ginseng is a cooling herb highly regarded for its ability to increase endurance, replenish fluids and tonify the lungs.
Astragalus root: Traditionally heralded as "the great protector", Astragalus is known for its amazing strengthening effects, particularly to the musculature. It is therefore greatly beneficial to those who are physically active and require abundant energy.
Codonopsis root: Believed to have an action similar to Ginseng, yet milder, Codonopsis is extremely

Schizandra Berry: Used to sharpen concentration, improve memory, increase alertness and promote vigor,
historically Schizandra has been held in very high favor by Chinese women for its beauty enhancing properties. Various tests have shown that moderate therapeutic doses can improve activities requiring concentration, fine coordination, sensitivity and endurance.

Licorice root: The most commonly used herb in Chinese herbalism, Licorice helps to increase vital energy, build strong muscle tissue and is often used as a detoxifier to cleanse the blood and liver.
Rhodiola Rosea: According to noted plant biochemist Dr. Zakir Ramazanov, "Rhodiola rosea is a much more powerful anti-stress, positive mood and memory enhancing compound than other phyto-medicines, including St. John's wort, Ginkgo biloba, and Panax ginseng. Dr. L. Utkin, Russian botanist and nutritionist, performed some of the first research on Rhodiola, demonstrating the plant's ability to enhance physical endurance and increase sexual performance.
Maca root: Also known as "Peruvian Ginseng" in South America, Maca is rapidly gaining attention in the United States for its success in supporting energy, stamina, libido and for its hormone balancing effects in both men and women.
