Athletic Performance

Tonic herbs are an effective method for addressing specific athletic and fitness needs. These potent herbs have been incorporated into training regimens since the time of martial artists over 2,000 years ago and remain a fundamental component of the training of Shaolin monks as well as amateur and world-class athletes.

Tonic herbs are consumed daily to build muscle, increase strength, improve focus and concentration, promote willpower and self-discipline, alleviate stress and discomfort, and ultimately enhance endurance, coordination, vitality, and vigour. Specialized and career athletes may require individualized herbal products to meet their specific needs.

Cistanche: Cistanche is classified as a “kidney yang” tonic herb in TCM, which means that it is believed to strengthen and tonify the Kidney organ system. In TCM, the Kidney is considered to be the foundation of health and vitality, and is responsible for producing and storing the body’s vital essence or “jing.”

Cistanche is traditionally used to tonify the Kidney essence and strengthen the tendons and bones. It is also believed to have a nourishing effect on the blood, which can be beneficial for those with anemia or other blood deficiencies.

One of the ways that cistanche is believed to improve athletic performance is by increasing the body’s production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the primary energy source for cells in the body. This can help to improve overall energy levels and reduce fatigue during intense physical activity.

Cistanche is also believed to have adaptogenic properties, meaning that it can help the body to adapt to stressors and maintain balance. This can be particularly beneficial for athletes, as it can help to reduce the negative effects of physical stress on the body, such as muscle fatigue and inflammation.

Cistanche is also believed to have anabolic properties, meaning that it can help to stimulate muscle growth and enhance physical strength.

Tribulus: Tribulus is thought to tonify the kidneys, which are considered the root of physical strength and vitality in TCM, and to nourish the blood and essence (jing), It has a cooling and nourishing effect on the liver, which is important for regulating the flow of qi (energy) throughout the body.

Tribulus is believed to improve athletic performance by increasing the production of testosterone in the body. Testosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in muscle growth and development, as well as overall physical performance. By increasing testosterone levels, Tribulus is thought to enhance muscle strength and stamina and improve endurance during physical activity.

In addition to its effects on testosterone, Tribulus is also believed to have a positive impact on nitric oxide levels in the body. Nitric oxide is a compound that helps to dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and nutrient delivery to muscles. This can lead to enhanced muscle growth, improved muscle recovery, and reduced muscle soreness after exercise.

Rhodiola: In Eastern medicine, Rhodiola is believed to tonify the spleen and benefit the lungs, kidneys, and liver, all of which are important for physical performance.

Rhodiola is believed to work by reducing fatigue and increasing endurance, as well as improving mental focus and reducing stress levels. It is also thought to enhance the body’s ability to use oxygen, which can increase energy production and reduce the onset of fatigue during exercise.

One study found that athletes who took Rhodiola for four weeks experienced significant improvements in their endurance capacity, as well as a reduction in their perceived level of exertion during exercise. Another study found that Rhodiola improved reaction time and cognitive function in athletes during and after exercise.

Cordyceps Sinensis / Cordyceps Militaris : Cordyceps is known to increase the body’s production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary source of energy for the body’s cells.

In addition to increasing ATP production, cordyceps is also believed to improve the body’s ability to use oxygen, which can help athletes to perform better during aerobic activities like running or cycling. It may also improve the body’s ability to tolerate high-intensity exercise by reducing the buildup of lactic acid in the muscles.

One study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that athletes who took cordyceps supplements for six weeks had significant improvements in their endurance and oxygen uptake compared to a placebo group.

Both Cordyceps Sinensis and Cordyceps Militaris are believed to be effective in improving athletic performance. However, some studies suggest that Militaris may be more potent in increasing endurance, while Sinensis may be more effective in improving oxygen uptake and lung function.

Eleuthero/Siberian Ginseng: In eastern Medicine, eleuthero is classified as a qi tonic, meaning it is used to strengthen the body’s vital energy or Qi.

Eleuthero is often used by athletes to help improve their overall physical performance and help them maintain high levels of energy throughout a workout or competition. It is also believed to help improve recovery time and reduce the risk of injury.

Studies have shown that eleuthero can help increase oxygenation of the blood, which can improve endurance and reduce fatigue during intense exercise. Eleuthero is also thought to enhance the body’s use of oxygen, which may improve cardiovascular function and promote better recovery after exercise.

It has also been found to help reduce levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, which can have a negative impact on athletic performance.

Astragalus: In Eastern medicine, astragalus is believed to tonify the qi, or vital energy, of the body, particularly the lungs and spleen. By doing so, it can help improve endurance, reduce fatigue, and enhance recovery after physical activity.

Astragalus has also been shown to increase the production of nitric oxide, which can improve blood flow and oxygen delivery to the muscles during exercise, leading to improved athletic performance. Additionally, astragalus may help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which can be damaging to the body during intense physical activity.

Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha is believed to improve athletic performance by reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing muscle strength and endurance, and improving recovery time after exercise. It is also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce muscle damage and soreness after intense workouts.

In one study, participants who took ashwagandha supplements for eight weeks experienced a 7.6% increase in their maximum squatting power, compared to a 2.3% increase in the placebo group. Another study found that ashwagandha supplementation improved cardiorespiratory endurance in healthy young adults.

Ashwagandha is also believed to have benefits for recovery after exercise. One study found that participants who took ashwagandha supplements had lower levels of muscle damage and inflammation after doing intense resistance training, compared to a placebo group.

Gelatinised Maca: Maca is considered an adaptogenic herb, which means it helps the body adapt to physical and emotional stress. As an adaptogen, maca can help increase endurance, reduce fatigue, and improve overall physical performance.

Studies have shown that maca can help improve exercise performance in athletes. One study found that male cyclists who took maca for 14 days had improved cycling time trial performance compared to those who took a placebo. Another study found that maca supplementation improved endurance performance in male mice.

Maca is also believed to help build muscle mass and strength. One study showed that resistance-trained men who took maca for eight weeks had increased muscle mass and strength compared to those who took a placebo.

Our Maca is gelatinised , meaning that it offers improved digestibility and nutrient absorption compared to raw maca.

MSM: MSM is an organic sulfur compound that is essential for the formation of collagen, a structural protein that makes up connective tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Studies have shown that MSM can help reduce muscle damage and inflammation, allowing for faster recovery after exercise.

Additionally, MSM has been shown to have antioxidant properties, which can help protect against oxidative stress caused by exercise. This can further support muscle recovery and reduce inflammation in the joints, which is particularly beneficial for athletes who engage in high-impact activities.

A study conducted on individuals with osteoarthritis found that MSM supplementation improved joint flexibility and reduced pain and swelling. This suggests that MSM may also benefit athletes who are at a higher risk of joint injury due to their training or sport.
