New Chapter's Stress Advantage

Supercritical Stress Advantage
Under stress, our primitive organs strain to protect us, and we prime for flight or fight. That was what the jungle needed, and that was fine when our lives were brief. Now, we live to old age in cities and towns, there is no place to run to escape from the stress, and our bodies cannot adapt and endure. Our adrenal glands burn, our hearts race, our immune systems collapse, and we struggle.

But there are herbal friends we can turn to for constant support. Some come from China, others from India, Indonesia, or Russia, and their strength is in giving us strength. Core strength. The strength and silence of a confident warrior elegantly poised for battle. The herbs in Supercritical Stress Advantage have been used for millennia by women and men under stress, to prepare them for the ultimate challenge – to create a dignified life well lived.

With confidence in the power of these herbs, and with pride in their potency and purity, we offer to you the wisdom of Supercritical Stress Advantage.

• Schizandra: The berries of this vine are prized for enhancing physical and mental endurance and optimizing normal detoxification mechanisms.* Considered the “Emperor’s Herb” in ancient China, its five flavors represent the five elemental energies of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
• American Ginseng: Most prized ginseng of the U.S., rich in a specific balance of ginsenosides (Rb1:Rg1) to gain that crucial advantage over stressful events.
• Eleuthero: Contains constituents called eleutherosides that encourage balanced adrenal gland function and enhanced immune system intelligence.*
• Rhodiola: A rich source of salidrosides categorized by Russian researchers as an adaptogen possessing profound cardioprotective properties.*
• Curcuma Xanthorrhiza: Rich in xanthorrhizol known for promoting a healthy inflammation response.* A foundation herb of Jamu, Indonesia’s traditional medical system.
• Galanga: Extract long revered for its ability to enhance sexual performance, soothe the digestive system and in modern research to reduce oxidative stress.* A foundation herb of Jamu.
• Turmeric: The world’s most important herb supporting cardiovascular and detoxification systems under conditions of stress.*
• Astragalus: Ancient Chinese herb valued for its ability to strengthen the cardiovascular and immune systems during periods of stress.*
• Ginger: Supports normal cardiovascular function, contains numerous natural inflammation modulating constituents and improves the formulation’s bioavailability.*

Stress & Energy: A Daily Challenge

Does less stress = more energy?
We all want less stress and more energy. Fortunately, addressing one can have an impact on the other; during times of stress, the demand for energy increases exponentially. All else being equal, a reduction in stress should produce an increase in energy. Unfortunately, too many of the things we face on a daily basis traffic, screaming kids, financial troubles, an argument with a spouse, even the feeling that we must always stay busy all register as threatening situations leaving our bodies in a constant state of overdrive.

Mental, Emotional & Physical Impact
If the stressors don’t go away or our bodies are unable to adapt, the metabolic equivalent of “burnout” will occur.  When this happens, our mental, emotional, and physical health may suffer. The fact that up to 90% of health care practitioner visits in the US are stress related suggests that most of us could use a little assistance with adaptation, recovery and energy production. That’s why New Chapter offers a complete line of stress and energy supplements, including Perfect Energy and Perfect Calm ™.

Adapting to Stress, Improving Energy
Over five decades of research suggest that a group of herbs called adaptogens have the unique ability to condition the nervous system to deal with a broad range of stressors without robbing the body of vital energy. Adaptogens have been shown to modulate the release of the stress hormone cortisol, improve energy and endurance, maintain a balanced mood and reduce oxidative stress.*  The later is especially valuable since oxidative stress can damage cells, impairing their ability to produce energy.

Stress Relief & Energy Support: The New Chapter Approach

Stimulant energy “boosters” like caffeine and artificially sweetened energy drinks do not necessarily provide the kind of relief from stress and energy support our bodies seek. Fortunately, Nature has provided us with an array of ingredients that, when sufficiently concentrated and expertly blended, can provide natural stress relief and balanced energy support.

Support Stress & Mood, Naturally
If you experience stress in the form of nervous tension, consider the soothing and uplifting effects of New Chapter’s Supercritical Holy Basil ™. If you simply want to benefit from a balanced blend of time-tested adaptogens, consider New Chapter’s Perfect Calm.

Support Energy & Vitality, Naturally
Every cell in the body must be able to make energy in order to maintain its integrity and designated function. If you experience stress as low energy/fatigue or wish to increase physical power and performance, consider the energizing effects of New Chapter’s Perfect Energy, Lifeshield Cordyceps or Rhodiolaforce 300.

Support the Nervous System & Maintain Immune Health, Naturally
Some of the most important nutrients for supporting the nervous system and maintaining immune health during times of stress are B vitamins. New Chapter’s Coenzyme B Food Complex delivers the full synergistic complex of B vitamins in the form of a probiotic whole-food. The addition of 11 stress balancing and immune supportive herbs and mushrooms make our Coenzyme B Food complex the ultimate in B vitamin support.*

The New Chapter Difference: Herbal Therapeutics

Super Potent, Super Pure
Every day, millions of us look to herbal therapeutics to support everything from healthy joint function to bone strength to immune health. With New Chapter’s Herbal Therapeutics, you get the maximum nutritional, protective benefits of the whole herb, complete with all of nature’s healing wisdom.

Unlike Most Brands, New Chapter:

• Selects only the finest, purest whole herbs, many of them organically grown.
• Supercritically extracts the herb to preserve the plant’s whole healing wisdom.
• Expertly blends each herb with other critical herbs for a synergistic effect, using science and tradition as our guides.

Supercritically Extracted Chemical-Free
Our supercritical extraction process uses natural, non-chemical solvent ways to extract the plant. It’s a gentle, safe, highly effective method that delivers incredible purity. Most other brands use a harsh, high heat process featuring hexane and acetone industrial solvents also used in dry cleaning and nail polish remover. We’ve never done this and we never will.
