Q: What is the ShenTrition Formula?

A: ShenTrition goes beyond basic nutrition and offers a truly healing experience. It does so by providing a unique combination of adaptogenic (tonic) herbs in conjunction with superfoods, powerful greens, and a balance of macro-nutrients.

The foundation of this amazing formula, adaptogenic herbs, provides a normalizing influence on the body, neither over-stimulating nor inhibiting normal functions, but rather exerting a generalized tonifying effect. The core benefit of adaptogens is their ability to help the body cope more effectively with stress, and to help heal the systemic damage caused by stress. Specifically, adaptogens recharge the adrenal glands, which are the body’s nominal mechanism for responding to stress and emotional changes. Such herbal formulations have been highly regarded by Eastern mystics and sages for thousands of years as a way to promote health, longevity and most importantly personal growth.

Lastly, this blend of Eastern and Western nutritional philosophies helps to support the more subtle functions of the body-mind by alkalizing the blood and tissues, fortifying the immune system, and energizing the body-mind. The ShenTrition Formula complements ancient wisdom with the scientific research of modern nutrition and dietary philosophy. This integration provides a contemporary touch and creates a more synergistic, integral recipe. The combination of these nutritional philosophies guarantees to satisfy the taste buds and provide the necessities for health and well being.

Plus, ShenTrition tastes good too. Enjoy!

Q: What is the purpose of the ShenTrition Formula?

A: Designed to feed the body high quality nutrition and heal the body with powerful herbs. Think of it as a healing snack.

The ShenTrition Formula provides fortification with an abundance of micro-nutrients (vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, anti-oxidants, amino acids and enzymes) found in its ingredients. Typically, foods eaten are deficient of most vital nutrients due in part to conventional farming methods that don’t re-supply the soil with the natural, organic micro-nutrients. Therefore, the soil does not produce healthy foods naturally. This supplement addresses that deficiency along with boosting energy levels.

The optimal level of alkalinity for the body requires a delicate balance of the pH level, in order to support proper systemic function. A host of diseases and disorders are attributed to an overly acidic pH level. The ShenTrition Formula alkalizes and nourishes the body by providing it with a unique combination of greens, superfoods and herbal botanicals. Within these micro-nutrients are the necessary building blocks for tissue growth and repair. Additionally, these nutrients help the immune system to better protect your health.

The ShenTrition Formula combines an ideal amount of the macro-nutrients in a serving (protein, fats, and carbohydrates). Maintaining a crucial balance of these regulates the body’s blood sugar and stabilizes the body’s bio-chemistry. In turn, emotions, weight and energy levels are better regulated. Overloading on one excellent ingredient, like most supplements do, doesn’t translate into greater effects. In fact, the body can only absorb a particular amount of nutrients at a time—the extra is wasted. Therefore, the ShenTrition Formula offers the most bang for your buck by providing a diverse amount of ingredients in optimal amounts.

The third unique component of the ShenTrition Formula is its blend of tonic herbs. In Chinese Medicine, tonic herbs are touted to strengthen and enhance health, longevity and spiritual growth. You’ll find taking this product along with the Shen Tonic will give you the greatest advantage in all three of these areas.

Basically, the ShenTrition Formula truly addresses the body’s core needs holistically.

A: That is not the ShenTrition Formula’s purpose. However, nutrition is a viable approach to regulate your inner chemistry that may affect your mood overall. So yes, the ShenTrition Formula can help with that. But don’t expect it to even out your emotions, like a prescription drug would. Only profession counselors can give you that assurance. On the other hand, it takes a long term and dedicated commitment to understanding yourself and the human condition, in order for you to get a handle on your emotional health. Consider consulting a mental health physician for talk therapies to help you start addressing your emotional instability. The right therapist can help us see through the haze of our skewed perception. In some situations, they are helpful.

A: This formula is powerful and balanced in it macronutrients; however , nothing can completely substitute the practice of sound eating. So, think of ShenTrition as a healing snack.

Q: How is the ShenTrition Formula different from the other greens or protein drinks that are available in the market?

A: The powerful ingredients of the ShenTrition Formula are combined in such a way to give you the most bang for your buck. Too many times supplements focus on one particular aspect of nutrition, thus overdoing it. Meanwhile, the body’s other needs are neglected. For instance, most of the green drinks on the market are not balanced with the important major macro nutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and fats) and the results are obvious on the glycemic index. Shortly after taking them, often you are left with a sugar crash. Besides, those products are loaded with entirely too much of one thing. The advertising fails to tell you that no matter how much of an ingredient is in the formula, your body can only assimilate a certain amount of that ingredient within a given time period. So, one of the core ideas we focused on in this formulas is to provide the most ingredients that your body could assimilate at one time without wasting anything. In our approach, you get a larger array of powerful nutrients, which as I said before, gives you more bang for your buck!

Furthermore, many of the protein type drinks on the market are derived from animal sources and are overloaded with too many amino acids. This creates two problems: over-taxation of the kidneys and the creation of high levels of acidity within the body. TheShenTrition Formula uses hemp protein—a plant-based protein—that happens to be one of the best foods that rebuild and repair tissues. Hemp protein is known as one of the plant kingdom’s most complete protein sources. It alkalizes the body, rather than creating acidity, plus, hemp protein is packed full of healthy Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids! We put the right amount of hemp protein in the mix, so that the kidneys aren’t strained, and a healthy amount of Omega fatty acids are available. This makes it much easier for your body to digest and assimilate the ingredients! In addition, hemp protein is an excellent source of fiber too!

Besides the leading adaptogenic formula contains 500-1000 mg of herbs…ShenTrition provides over 5600mg of Adaptogens.

Honestly, the ShenTrition Formula is simply better!

ENJOY!
