KEY ELEMENTS OF THE FUNCTIONAL FORMULA

Black Currant

Highly aromatic, with a luscious sweet-tart flavor, black currants have the highest concentration of vitamin C and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid) of any fruit or vegetable. Their history as human food is long and rich – a Florentine recipe book dating from 1550 refers to the black currant as the “grape of the monks”.

Black currants make a beautiful sight in the summer, hanging in glowing purple bunches in the bush. Native to central and northern Europe and northern Asia, these tough, hardy little fruits are now cultivated locally in fertile soils of the Pacific Northwest.

Raspberry

First cultivated by the Romans in the first or second century AD, red raspberries are now grown extensively throughout the Pacific Northwest, where they thrive in the region’s cool, marine climate. Their formidable antioxidant power derives in part from abundant concentrations of ellagic acid, a polyphenol antioxidant compound renowned for its anti-carcinogenic/anti-mutagenic properties.

We like locally grown raspberries not only for their many health benefits, but also because they’re one of the most delicious things nature’s ever invented, which helps explain why Wellbeing tastes so great. For that, little red berry, we salute you.

Licorice Root

Licorice root has a long history of medicinal use by many cultures, including the Greeks, Chinese, Hindus and Egyptians, who so valued the aromatic root that even King Tutankhamen was buried with a supply. In traditional Chinese medicine, the licorice root is used to balance other herbs and to promote vitality.

In addition to being a vital part of Wellbeing’ functional formula, licorice provides a slight hint of sweet anise to the flavor profile. Even if you don’t like licorice, you’ll love what it adds to Wellbeing’s flavor profile. (Trust us, we hate licorice.)

Eleuthero (Siberian Ginseng)

Commonly called Siberian ginseng, eleuthero is in fact only distantly related to ginseng. It has been used medicinally in China for at least 2,000 years. In traditional Chinese medicine, eleuthero is used to stimulate the immune system and to provide energy and vitality. That’s why it’s an essential part of the Wellbeing formula.

Interesting fact: Russians have a long history of eleuthero use as well, and in modern times the herb gained some notoriety for its use by Soviet Olympic athletes as a performance-enhancing substance.

Astragalus

Astragalus is a woody plant that grows in cold, arid expanses of northern China, Mongolia and Siberia. The root of the plant has been used extensively in Chinese medicine for well over 2,000 years. In Chinese it is called huáng qí ("yellow leader") or bei qí ("northern leader"). Also known as milk-vetch, astragalus is considered one of the fifty fundamental herbs of Chinese herbalism.

We like this warm and sweet tonic herb for its ability to stimulate the immune system, an especially welcome property where colds and flus thrive. Dr. Lee also says astragalus lowers blood pressure and blood sugar levels. He prescribes this versatile herb to protect the body against general weakness and illness and to increase overall vitality.

Western Nutritional Science

Scientific understanding of human nutrition is a relatively new phenomenon. Since the early 20th century, we have made major leaps in figuring out how and why vitamins and other nutrients work. Where the other elements in our functional formulas represent ancient knowledge passed down through the centuries, this group (which includes B and C vitamins as well as essential amino acids) owes its existence to modern nutritional science. This is where old meets new.
