Every serious athlete wants to extend the limits of his strength, speed, and overall performance. The foundation of someone’s strength comes from eating well and getting proper exercise balanced by complete rest. Modern science has given us a number of products that enhance and improve the health of the human body. Some things like vitamins are relatively harmless while others such as steroids can have serious side effects which in the long run compromises a person’s health.

There are many "natural herbal" supplements available too. Unfortunately, most are manufactured by companies that have little, if any, concept on how or why herbs should be used and combined. The result of marketing herbal products without knowledge has given a lot of bad press to the legitimate herbal industry. An example of lack of herbal knowledge in manufacturing can be seen in companies that market Ma-huang (ephedra) combined with guarana. This combination has been shown to have serious side-effects and should be avoided. You should also avoid any "energizing" product in which Ma-huang is the major component of the formula. The same harm brings excessive amount of caffeine and sugar in many modern energizing formulations.

Ginseng seeds

One herbal supplement that gives consistent results to athletes is "Ginseng Seeds" - a well-balanced formula, so the herbs long-term effects help increase the performance potential derived from inner strength gained by the organs, muscles, and nerves. It’s been used for centuries by the Shaolin monks, martial artists of different styles, by Samurai and Ninja worriers, soldiers, travellers, alpinists, world and olympic level sportsmen. Those who use this formula find they can go the extra distance during intense workouts or competitions, feel more energy and keep it over long periods of time. However, it doesn’t leave you feeling depleted or run-down by any after-effects. The herbs in formula nourish the basic activating qualities that give drive and movement to life. They also help to strengthen a person’s will, breaking through the emotional restrictions from lack of assertiveness, or fear.

Looking for a modern equivalent  would lead you to steroids. There is no doubt that steroids are powerful but where does their power come from? From the perspective of Chinese medicine, steroids rob the energy (Qi) of the kidneys, spleen, heart, and liver. The strength of the internal organs is transferred to the large muscles. Thus, the negative effects of long-term steroid use observed by Western clinicians are due, according to Chines medicine, to the weakening of the energy (Qi) of the internal organs. Very soon it will result in kidney and liver damage, sexual disfunctions, as well as multiple muscles, tendons, ligaments injuries, which you can see in many baseball, football players, bodybuilders and other users steroids users.

According to Chinese medicine, the root of the body’s strength resides in its kidney function. In contrast to steroids, Ginseng Seeds formula nourishes the energy (Qi) of the internal organs, especially in the kidney meridian, filling them with enduring energy and helping them to function at peak levels. It is  stronger than steroids and vitamins when the overall structure of the body is taken into account. The herbs go directly to the main bodily organs and fill them with long-lasting energy, enabling them to function at peak levels. It is well balanced, so its extended effects are increased performance potential built on long-term strength in the organs, muscles, and nerves.

Along with the Ginseng Seeds the other herbal formulas energize the kidney functions.They nourish and replenish the body’s Qi energy batteries that are absolutely essential for any organ and its normal functioning, from keeping the body’s temperature normal to the strength of the immune system. Another way of describing these herbs is that they stimulate the fire that energizes life.
