| Recurrent episodes of feeling drained of energy punctuate the daily activity of almost everyone. Certain disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome and its variants or simple listlessness may be associated with a variety of disorders including sleep deprivation (see Sleep Naturally™), Menopause and PMS (see Menopause and PMS Naturally™) or the metabolic Syndrome X (see Syndrome X Naturally™). However, most cases of loss of energy are simple reactions to the day to day stresses of modern lifestyle; for thousands of years people have used a variety of botanicals or nutrients to revive energy. Important anti dose to recurrent episodes of loss of energy are well planned aerobic exercise and restoration of the biorhythm of restful sleep. High Energy Naturally™ is a complex, but additive formulation of many herbs and botanicals that contain a wide range of energizing properties for the body. The selected ingredients have a long history of safe use by a variety of cultures and most ingredients provide antioxidants and others contain specific valuable phytonutrients. Single botanical agents that give a “kick” have been misused by consumers of dietary supplements. Strong stimulants are best avoided because they may alter blood pressure, provoke anxious feelings and even cause the heart to race. Dr. Holt has been critical of the use of Ephedra (ma huang) as “herbal speed” by young people and he believes that the cardiovascular complications of Ephedra use were largely due to the use Ephedra as a weight loss agent in individuals with metabolic Syndrome X, who are at high risk for heart attack and stroke. Ephedra is a valuable herb when used correctly and it has a long history of relatively safe use for the treatment of respiratory disorders. The formulation of High Energy Naturally™ involves the selection of natural agents that work in an additive manner on many aspects of body metabolism. Not only are the ingredients designed to promotes positive energy, several ingredients are adaptogenic, meaning that they balance body function. High Energy Naturally™ should not be taken in the evening to avoid interference with sleep. The recommended dose should not be exceeded and, of course, High Energy Naturally™ is not suitable for children or pregnant women. The selection of ingredients was made by studying many different traditional medical disciplines that have used the various ingredients of High Energy Naturally™ as a general tonic.
