Qivana’s Unveiling of the Crown Herb™

 

Doctors and scientists today are gleaning wisdom from the past to

find answers for our future—and Qivana is at the forefront of finding

these natural solutions. Qivana is the first company in the world to

build a product system based on the traditional wisdom and power

of a legendary herb: the Crown Herb™. While little is known about

the Crown Herb in the Western World, the Chinese have treasured

this botanical for centuries for its therapeutic value. Its benefits in the

Eastern World are so widely known and accepted that it is used by

doctors and hospitals as a valuable medicine, and it was recently named

as one of the ten most important herbs at an International Conference

on traditional medicine. As further evidence of its significance, it has

been called xiancao, or “immortal grass,” and in the United States

it is known as “miracle grass”, the Crown Herb, or the Immortality

Herb™. Now, backed by the validation of modern-day research and

dedicated scientists, this “miracle grass” has emerged as one of the

most preeminent and promising natural solutions for our 21st century

health concerns.

The research on the Crown Herb has exploded in the last decade

and medical experts are now promoting it as a critical component of

a modern health regimen. Scientific research is showing the Crown

Herb’s rare ability to support multiple systems of the body including the

nervous system—brain function, memory, and neuronal re-generation;

the cardiovascular system—maintaining healthy cholesterol, blood

sugar and fat levels; and balancing metabolic functions—promoting

energy and fighting fatigue, and much more. This herb’s extraordinary

abilities are in large measure from its abundant supply of saponins. In

fact, the Crown Herb has the largest number and greatest diversity

of saponins in the world. Saponins are potent phytonutrients with a

host of demonstrated benefits in humans. The PubMed database lists

over 8,000 independent research papers that explore and explain the

benefits of these saponins.

 

 

Qivana’s Revolutionary Approach to Protecting and Energizing the Body

 

Based on this remarkable discovery Qivana created Qore Essentials, employing

the powerful health-promoting properties of the Crown Herb to serve as the

foundation. The exceptional benefits of the Crown Herb are leveraged and

extended when combined with White Korean ginseng and Chinese skullcap. These

three herbs were carefully selected for the Qore Essentials formula because their

nutrients have similar biological functions whose benefits complement each other

and work synergistically to promote healing and wellness. The Qore Essentials

herbal blend directly addresses the most common and preventable health concerns

today—cardiovascular health, energy, and stress. These herbs are delivered using

Qivana’s Direct Dissolve™ technology, an exclusive microencapsulation process that

facilitates the most rapid absorption of any product on the market.

 

Why You Should Pay Attention to Your Heart and Stress Levels

 

Scientific experts are continually learning more about stress and related illnesses.

Stress has been proven to cause illness, increase physical symptoms of illness, and

lengthen recovery time. Approximately 50 percent of all general medical patients

are suffering from stress-related problems. Stress impacts health by lowering our

resistance to disease and making us more vulnerable to illness. Our body responds

to emotional stress the same way it reacts to physical danger. When we feel the

effects of stress, our health is compromised by a primitive fight or flight response

that produces stress hormones even when we are not really in immediate danger.

Stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA), initiating events that

increase circulating cortisol. Elevated circulating cortisol inhibits the reproductive,

growth hormone, and thyroid axes. Normal cortisol secretion peaks in the early

morning, then declines with a peak in the afternoon. When this normal cycle is

disrupted, symptoms can include low energy between 3 and 4 p.m., difficulty

waking in the morning, anxiety, fatigue unrelieved by rest, salt or sugar cravings,

dark circles under the eyes, decreased libido, increased effort required for daily

tasks, insomnia, and depressed mood.

 

Nearly half of all Americans report that stress has a negative impact on both

their personal and professional lives. Experts now conjecture that stress is a

significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, particularly in conjunction with one or more

other risk factors. Chronic life stress and anxiety increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Statistically speaking, the chances of dying from cardiovascular disease are 2 out

of 5. In the U.S. alone, almost 652,091 people die from this relatively new and

preventable disease—that’s about 27% of all U.S. deaths. The six risk factors for

heart disease and stroke include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes,

current smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity. Approximately 37% of adults

reported having two or more of these six risk factors. In 2005 alone, deaths from

cardiovascular disease accounted for 30% of the deaths worldwide. By 2015, almost

20 million people will die from cardiovascular disease, mainly from heart disease

and stroke. These are projected to remain the single leading causes of death.

The good news is that the risk of cardiovascular disease can be reduced by taking steps

to prevent and control the adverse risk factors

 

Natural Benefits for Life

 

While many Americans may turn to a quick fix in the form of a synthetic pill to mask

the symptoms of their health concerns, more than 80% of people worldwide use

plants and herbs as their primary source of healthcare—and much of their healthcare

is focused on preventative maintenance. Botanicals contain concentrated sources

of phytonutrients our bodies need to repair, restore, energize, and heal. The most

time-honored and traditional medical systems in the world are founded on the use

of plants (roots, herbs, leaves, flowers fruits, and bark), yet western medicine is

reluctant to remember and acknowledge that these plants serve as the foundation

for most of our modern pharmaceutical medicines today. While allopathic medicine

may not readily recognize these natural medicines, it is interesting to note that over

one-fourth of today’s prescription drugs contain constituents directly derived from

irreplaceable plant resources. Roughly 125 chemical substances from appropriately

100 different plants are used in hospital pharmacies, ERs, and surgical units around

the globe daily. If chemists could not decipher and reverse-engineer nature’s healing

plants in their laboratories, then over 50% of all drug actives would be derived

directly from plants even today.

 

At Qivana, we understand and appreciate the role that natural medicine plays

for actually growing health, fighting and preventing disease, and renewing vital

immunity. We have identified some of the most potent sources of unique nutrients

that our body needs to accelerate natural healing, enhance immune defenses,

respond to daily stress, and function optimally. These powerful plants have been

used for centuries by traditional healers. Now scientific research has uncovered

the source of their healing power and is revealing their growing list of potent and

beneficial properties.

 

Qore™ Essentials—a Proprietary and Synergistic Blend

 

Qore Essentials is a proprietary blend of concentrated extracts of powerful

phytonutrients from the Crown Herb, Chinese skullcap, and White Korean ginseng.

These three herbs were chosen because of their powerful healing properties,

which have been carefully researched. Scientific studies have revealed that these

three plants collectively have a synergistic effect—they work together to enhance,

balance, and complement the benefits of each other. This synergized botanical

blend offers a broad range of health-promoting properties, versus a singular and

targeted “silver-bullet” ingredient approach.

 

Through good science, it has been discovered that the Crown Herb contains some

of the exact same saponin glycosides that empower Panax ginseng with its host of

honored herbal powers. In other words, the Crown Herb contains some of the exact

same nutrients with the identical chemical structure as Panax ginseng. In fact, at

least eight of these saponins are identical matches to those found in true ginseng.

This discovery is significant because it’s the first time that these ginseng saponins

have been found in a plant outside of the ginseng family. Both ginseng and the

Crown Herb derive their therapeutic capabilities from saponins; and while ginseng

has been revered as the King of Herbs, modern science has discovered that the

Crown Herb contains approximately four times the variety of saponin

content that are found in Panax ginseng.

 

Further confirming their similarities, the Crown Herb has also been referred to as

Blue Ginseng or Southern Ginseng due to its adaptogenic effects, blossom color,

and habitat. Both the Crown Herb and White Korean ginseng have earned their

place as adaptogenic herbs, a category of herbs that have been proven to help the

body respond to various stresses put upon it. The Qore Essentials blend utilizes

these adaptogenic herbs—nature’s most powerful resource for fighting stress and fatigue.

 

 

The Life-Enhancing Secrets of Adaptogens

 

Adaptogens are a special class of healing substances that have been shown to

support and re-establish a dynamic balance in the body during challenging times

and changing conditions. Adaptogens increase the body’s resistance to stress,

trauma, anxiety, and fatigue. As is accepted by the Swedish FDA, adaptogens are

recognized as herbal medicines which can be used in case of decreased performance,

like fatigue and sensation of weakness, in order to increase resistance to stresses,

including physical, chemical, biological, and even psychological.

The results are your body works better and stronger without working harder. This is

great news for anyone living in today’s fast-paced, on-the-go society. When taken

regularly over time, adaptogens can offer a stress protective effect, comparable to

the enhanced overall improvements garnered from regular physical exercise. They

induce a non-specific defensive response against a broad category of stressors,

such as noise, cold, and altitude. Their beneficial tonic effects of increased overall

well-being and improved work capability are fully established with use in those

with chronic disease and dysfunctional metabolisms.

 

The concept of adaptogens dates back thousands of years to ancient India and

China. In the past, they have been called rejuvenating herbs, qi tonics, rasayanas,

or restoratives. Adaptogenic herbs are distinct from other substances in their

ability to balance endocrine hormones and the immune system, and they help

the body to maintain optimal homeostasis. Adaptogens are proposed to have a

normalizing effect on the body and to be capable of either toning down the activity

of hyperfunctioning systems or strengthening the activity of hypofunctioning systems.

 

The Qore Essentials formula utilizes the healing properties of two legendary

adaptogenic herbs, White Korean ginseng and the Crown Herb. At the center of

the formula lays the Crown Herb, an incredibly powerful botanical with tremendous

benefits. The unparalleled composition of the Crown Herb makes it the ideal

adaptogen, providing an exceptionally broad range of health-promoting properties.

The aerial plant parts contain a unique complex of diverse bio-modulating

messengers that work with and for your individual biochemistry and metabolism.
