Ingredients in Detail:
Ginseng root: Ginseng is an adaptogen and a powerful anti-stress agent. Ginseng helps to balance the whole mind/body system at a fundamental level. This concept refers to the ability of Ginseng to assist in regulating or strengthening the body's functions that regulate other body functions. Ginseng increases mental and physical efficiency and has been proven to be beneficial for general mental and physical weakness. It is usually used with other herbs, but sometimes by itself. It is not a stimulant, but promotes concentration and alertness. It has also been shown to improve memory and reasoning ability. Ginseng is an excellent herb for aged people. It sometimes produces startling results in reversing intellectual and mental deterioration. It is also helpful in quickening recovery from illness or surgery. Even after one stops taking Ginseng the mental and physical changes last for a long time.
Gynostemma: is an anti-aging, longevity Super Herb. It is used generally to reinforce overall health and has a powerful anti-fatigue effect. Gynostemma is one of the major adaptogenic herbs, in the same category as Ginseng, Reishi, Siberian Ginseng, Astragalus, and Schizandra.
The Japanese have done considerable research into the effects of Gynostemma. After finding that many people over 80 drank Gynostemma everyday in China, they researched the pharmacology of Gynostemma which led to the conclusion that it contains an incredibly broad range of phytonutrients and health benefits. It is believed that Gynostemma slows down the aging process and reduces fatigue. It improves sexual functions, helps to calm the nervous system and eases pain.
Gynostemma belongs to the cucumber family, this herb is also referred to as "southern ginseng" where it is grown traditionally in the mountainous region of South Central China. This is a region of the world that is well known for the longevity of its inhabitants as well as the low incidence of cardiovascular diseases and cancer that exist there. It was believed that the food and lifestyle there contributed to the well-being and longevity of its inhabitants. It has now been shown that one herb in particular was a major factor accounting for the low rates of cardiovascular diseases in that region.
Scientific pharmacological tests reveal that Gynostemma has the most incredible ability to lower cholesterol levels in the blood stream. Gynostemma works by emulsifying the cholesterol deposits that have accumulated on the vascular walls, flushing them out from the circulatory system. Additional benefits to the circulatory system include lowering high blood pressure, decreasing the level of high blood fats, and reduction in the incidence of blood clots and arteriosclerosis.
Its importance to cardiovascular health is well-known but Gynostemma has other lesser known but equally important health benefits. Being an adaptogen, this herb has the unique ability to help "restore homeostasis" or "re-establish equilibrium" to the body's various systems, which includes the cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, immune and reproductive systems. Besides its ability to help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels, it also help increase good cholesterol (HDL) levels, boosts the immune system by elevating the number and activity of white blood cells, strengthen the digestive system by assisting in liver function through inhibited oxidation of liver cells and relieve stress by soothing and relaxing the central nervous system. Gynostemma is a key ingredient in Cholest-X, Radiant Wonder's important cholesterol lowering product.
Additionally because of its direct stimulation on liver function, Gynostemma may also be use for natural weight loss. This is especially true for those with a liver deficiency or imbalance, which happens to be most of us. If you work and live in a big city with its surrounding bad air, nutrient deficient diet and worked-related stress, then you have a liver deficiency or imbalance to some degree, whether you know it or not. In a person with a normal, fit liver, consumed sugar and carbohydrates are sent to the muscles to be used as energy whereas in a person with an unfit liver, the sugar is converted instead to triglycerides and then stored as fat. Gynostemma's ability to greatly inhibit the "unfit" body's tendencies to store sugars as fat and thus help control the metabolism of fat in the body. Studies have now been conducted that verifies Gynostemma ability to help regulate fat metabolism, which plays
Siberian Ginseng: Siberian Ginseng is used widely as a supplement for people who need additional physical energy and strength or for those who suffer from low resistance resulting from over-exertion.

Schizandra fruit: Schizandra ranks among the top scientifically identified adaptogenic herbs (our Super Herbs) in the world. It tones the kidneys and sexual organs, protects the liver, strengthens the nervous system, and cleanses the blood. This remarkable adaptogenic herb helps the mind and body adapt to stress. Schizandra is known to stimulate the nervous system, increasing the speed of reflex nervous responses and improving mental clarity.

The tiny little berries of Schizandra are said to incorporate all five of the important flavors (sour-sweet-salty-bitter-spicy) so it affects all five of the key organ systems which when balanced bring Radiant Health – longevity with quality of life, and “health beyond danger” what we call a strong immune system.
