The trees did rather well in places like Florida, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Panama; indeed, the crop’s nutrient density sparked much enthusiasm at the time.  n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n This enthusiasm, unfortunately, was short-lived, as the fruit was not well received, perhaps due to its small size and pungent taste. By the mid-20n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n thn n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n century, the fruit was generally disregarded in the West and mostly forgotten (1). n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Known as Alma, or Indian gooseberry, Westerners considered this fruit an unattractive food. Amla is generally sour, bitter, and tough even when harvested in autumn after the fruits have ripened. These features are rather unsurprising when examining the chemical composition of the fruit as it contains tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenols (2). Although these bioactive components impart strong flavors, they also contribute to many of the fruit’s health-promoting properties.n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n In comparison to its failed experiment in the West, Amla has been used for over 5,000 years in India and Southeast Asia (3). Rather than being viewed as food, Amla continues to be viewed as traditional medicine in these cultures. For example, Amla has been prized and used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine for vitality, longevity, and improving cognition (3). In Ayurveda, it is considered one of the principal Rasayana plants. Rasayana is one of the eight domains of Ayurvedic medicine and specializes in rejuvenation recipes, dietary regimens, or special health-promoting supplements (4).n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Under Rasayana, Amla is considered an adaptogen and is used as a vitality-enhancer in India (5). Indeed, it is commonly cultivated in home gardens and is grown commercially. The fruit can be eaten raw, pickled, and juiced but is often provided as an extract.n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Alma offers impressive cell protection benefits when assessed with in-vitro experiments (6). Some research suggests that extracts may positively impact cardiometabolic health (7).

<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n In 2020, Isagenix collaborating with researchers at Clarkson University, published results from a double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the mental and cognitive performance benefits of e+ Energy Shot (e+ Shot) (1). The results found that e+ Shot, compared to a shot containing an equivalent dose of caffeine, significantly improved cognitive reaction time (faster, more accurate responses on a test). n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n These researchers have now re-evaluated and published updated results based on new studies characterizing an individual’s mental and physical fatigue level. This re-evaluation demonstrated that those individuals who were generally highly mentally and physically stressed responded even better to e+ Shot when compared to caffeine alone (2).n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<h4 style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px; margin-block-start:1em; margin-block-end:1em;”> n n n Study Details and Resultsn n n  nn n</h4> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n The original study included 30 young malen n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n and female research participants. Each participant consumed a caffeinated beverage containing approximately 100 milligrams of caffeine and e+ Shot, providing a combination of 85 milligrams of caffeine plus a blend of ten adaptogenic herbs. n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n After consuming their assigned product, each participant completed a series of cognitive and mental performance tests.

Consumption of the adaptogen-rich, caffeine-containing e+ Shot preferentially benefited individuals with initial low mental and physical energy status and high mental fatigue compared to caffeine alone. n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n According to Dr. Ali Boolani, who led the study, “our findings suggest that e+ Shot was most beneficial for individuals who are typically low energy or high fatigue (both mental and physical). Also interesting was that normally physically energetic individuals became more anxious with the caffeine alone. In contrast, these same individuals were not anxious with the e+ Shot, suggesting that the adaptogens prevent or reduce negative responses to caffeine in certain individuals.”n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<h4 style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px; margin-block-start:1em; margin-block-end:1em;”> n n n  n n n E+ Shot – A Perfect Solution Anytime, Anywheren n n  nn n</h4> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n Isagenix is committed to formulating simple, proven, and natural products to improve your health.
