With a name like Immortal Energy you have to be curious, right? I know I was! Having chronic fatigue anything that can boost my energy piques my interest. Unfortunately, ingredients aren’t always ideal, and the effects aren’t exactly what I need. Drinks or pills meant to increase energy quickly that give that burst of energy can cause me to crash hard after. What I need is that extra push to keep me going and help me focus. I need something without side effects.
For my review I received 12 pills which typically lasts 3-4 days. It is recommended to take 3-4 capsules as needed or as directed by a health care professional. If you’re not a fan of swallowing capsules, they can also be dissolved in warm water as a tea or added to a smoothie. I took them as as-is, though. Because my energy has been particularly low I opted to take 4 capsules the first day to get the most out of them (and because I always fear because of my chronic fatigue I will need the maximum recommended amount), and I was pleasantly surprised! I didn’t feel hyped up or jittery, but I did feel more alert and awake. I was better able to focus and get more done!
Immortal Energy consists of natural ingredients: deer antler, astragalus, ginseng, gogi, and schizandra and are in a Vegetarian capsule. Want to know a little more about these ingredients?
DEER ANTLER (LU RONG)
Deer antler is widely used in Asia (and now throughout the world) to strengthen adrenal, reproductive and brain functions. It is mainly used as a rejuvenating agent. Short term use is believed to quickly build strength and power, while consistent long-term use is believed to re-build deep life force, preserve youthfulness and to enhance longevity.
Deer antler extract provides minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients including the insulin-like growth factor IGF-1.
Clinical trials have shown that IGF-1 may:
Enhance immune functions
Increase muscular strength and endurance
Possess anti-inflammatory properties
Possess growth-stimulating properties
Help regulate low and high blood pressure
Help promote sounder, more refreshing sleep
Improve eyesight, including night vision
Help reduce cholesterol and triglycerides
IGF-1 is also an important supplement for people interested in reducing the signs of aging and for those people interested in living the longest, healthiest, and most active life possible.
ASTRAGALUS (HUANG QI)
For centuries people have used astragalus root to enhance strength and regulate metabolism. The herb has only recently gained popularity among herbalists and practitioners of alternative medicine in the West. Chinese medicine uses astragalus root to enhance the body’s energy, known as “qi.” Astragalus root is a mild diuretic, and it can help to reduce perspiration as well. In traditional Chinese Medicine, all of these uses are attributed to the ability of astragalus root to replenish “qi,” so a person who is ill can regain strength and immunity. Astragalus root has also been shown to protect the adrenal cortex, the gland that produces hormones related to stress. It may also help allergy sufferers by strengthening the immune system’s response to allergens in the environment.
GINSENG (REN SHEN)
Ginseng is used for improving thinking, concentration, memory, work efficiency, physical stamina, and athletic endurance which have a significant impact on our energy levels.
GOJI (GOU QI ZI)
The nutritional and medicinal benefits of goji berries are legendary. Goji berries are very high in antioxidants and have great anti-inflammatory properties.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine goji is used as a blood and immune system tonic. It supports vision, is a mood elevator, and is known as “the happy fruit.” One of the most famous herbs in Asia to promote beautiful skin. It can improve memory and increase libido.
SCHIZANDRA (WU WEI ZI)
Schizandra is known as the five-flavor fruit; it has each of the five flavors (sweet, spicy, sour, salty, and acidic). It’s one of the most famous herbs used in Chinese medicine. This herb is considered to be one of the premium mind tonics of herbalism. It is used to sharpen concentration, improve memory, and increase alertness. Yet, unlike caffeine-like stimulants, schizandra does not produce nervousness when increasing energy. In fact, some people consider schizandra mildly “calming” while producing wakefulness and improved focus.
How is that for an effective line-up? For me, everything that Immortal Energy offers is important. It contains natural ingredients, doesn’t contain the side-effects of caffeinated energy drinks and pills, and it offers a combination of various herbs with multiple benefits. As this is a busy season, I need to be on top of things and be able to push through my fatigue without feeling jittery and crashing afterwards! Immortal Energy is definitely a good fit for my needs!
