Sprint herbal blend: properties and benefits
The combination can increase energy and concentration, thanks to the synergy of the individual components. One of the elements known to make us more energetic and alert, against the stressful factors of everyday life, is guarana. It represents a natural tonic against physical and mental tiredness, which stimulates the metabolism and helps with weight balance.
Gurana is often used as an ingredient for energy drinks due to its stimulating effects, due to the content of guaranine (identical to caffeine), alkaloids and other compounds with beneficial effects on the energy and attention.
Often used to improve sports performance, in this herbal blend guarana gives a boost combined with another well-known fruit, goji berries. These berries contain healthy energy thanks to the nutrients and antioxidants present in their composition. They facilitate good energy levels, counteracting tiredness and stress. Another useful fruit in the sprint herbal mixture is rosehip, which is the fruit of the dog rose which gives natural energy with a supporting and restorative action.
To improve energy and cognitive well-being another element in the sprint herbal blend is licorice. Licorice root represents an adaptogenic ingredient, which can help the body react to stress by regulating certain functions. The element licorice helps increase cortisol and blood pressure levels, when they are low and contribute to low energy.
Spearmint is an additional factor in the blend, which gives a balsamic effect to invigorate. Contains a high percentage of antioxidant phenolic compounds. The aroma of mint helps improve mood and promotes concentration. Combined with mint, the nettle plant is also useful for increasing energy and daily sprint. Contains minerals and compounds that improve levels of folic acid and iron - along with the well-being of nails and hair.
Yellow marigold and mallow are also present in the mixture, to balance the stimulants with their emollient and soothing action.
