The term "stress" was coined in the 1930's and refers to the body's inability to respond appropriately to perceived emotional or physical threats. Signs of "stress" can include exhaustion, irritability/moodiness, muscular tension, inability to concentrate, agitation, sense of loneliness/depression, headaches, elevated heart rate, and more.*

At some point in their lives, most individuals will experience at least 1 "stressful event". Unfortunately, most people will have several. And then others will experience some stressful event almost daily whether it be from their job, their personal life or that of a friend or loved one. These "events" can lead folks to feeling overwhelmed, depressed, angry or withdrawn to name a few. It can also lead to a weakening of the immune system which can contribute to an increased risk of catching colds or the flu. While most anti-stress nutritional supplements advertised on the market contain a complex of b vitamins to help boost the bodies depletion of those much needed nutrients during times of stress, they don't really do much to help the body cope with the actual stress. This is where Equanimity™ comes in.

Equanimity™ is not your typical anti-stress supplement; it does not contain any b vitamins! Equanimity™ is an old herbal formula that was given to Dr. Wong by an aged grand master herbalist over 30 years ago. This formula, has the ability to help calm down the user without causing sedation; in layman's words it will calm you down with out knocking you out or making you dopey. Quite the opposite. Equanimity™ sharpens thinking while acting to lower stress levels*; it takes the teeth out of what's gnawing at you and also help you put your stress in perspective.* But don't confuse anti-stress with anti-depressant. Even though these terms have been used interchangeable in both natural health circles and medical circles, they are not the same. Equanimity™ is not an anti-depressant supplement, which are meant to elevate mood. Equanimity™ is for stress and is composed of herbs known since ancient times to help cope with stress. To be physiologically effective each of these herbs need to be taken by the teaspoon full. In comparison mere capsules with raw herbs will not do as the average capsule is only 1/5 of a teaspoon. Using a German pharmacological extraction process, each caplet of Equanimity contains more than a teaspoon of each herb and is more potent than a large mug full of herbal tea.

Each caplet of Equanimity contains 265 mg of these extracted herbs:

Valerian Root has been used as a medicinal herb since at least the times of ancient Greece and Rome. It's historical use has been as a sedative.*

Chamomile Flowers is a traditional medicinal herb. It was revered a sacred herb by the ancient Saxons and was valued by the Egyptians. It's traditional uses are many and varied but include sedative and calmative.*

Skull Cap is used in herbal medicine as a mild sedative and sleep promoter.*

Hops Flowers are used in herbal medicine similar to way valerian is used; for anxiety, restlessness and insomnia.* Please note: Hops are toxic to dogs and thus this product should not be given to them.*

Pancreatin is used in this formula to help increase absorption and utilization of the herbs.*

• Suggested Use: 1 caplet with food, 1 to 2 times daily as needed.
