Winter's Paradise

Description

Winter's Paradise uses two Chinese tonic herbs that have the term 'winter' in their Chinese names: 'Tian Men Dong' for Asparagus Root and 'Mia Men Dong' for Ophiopogon Root. These tonics are known to promote a cool, moist lubrication throughout the body, especially in the skin, nose, lungs and joints and have traditionally been used for dryness and emotional calmness that counteracts stress.*

Winter’s Paradise Largely Consists of Two Tuberous Roots: Asparagus and Ophiopogon.

Unique Plant Nutrients That Moistens and Lubricated Tissues*

Like walking on air!* Paradise in winter is one step away from you.*

Winter's Paradise Dosage Equation:

The dosage of most tonics work by bodyweight and activity level and dietary factors. The amount of Winter's Paradise taken is dependent on bodyweight and activity level.

BW + AL + DF

• Bodyweight (BW) is the overall weight measured by a bathroom or locker room scale.
• Activity level (AL) is a relative unit based on the amount of work accomplished, stress-levels and fitness-intensity.
• Diet factors (DF) are based on how much calories and food is taken in, such as protein, fat and carbohydrates.

Estimated Daily Dosage:

• BW = 1 dropper per ~100 pounds bodyweight
• AL = + 1-3 droppers - 1-2 low/medium, 2-3 medium/high
• DF = + 1 dropper for every ~2000 kcal reached

Example #1: 115lb person (BW = 1 dropper) who is working a social oriented job (AL = 2 droppers) and eats ~1500 kcal (DF = 0 dropper) would have a functional dosage of ~3 droppers daily divided into 1-3 doses across the day.

Example #1 is BW 1 + AL 2 + DF 0 = ~3 droppers

Example #2: 210lb person (BW = 2 droppers) who is going for a jog on a day-off (AL = 1 dropper) and eats ~2250 kcal (DF = 1 dropper) would have a functional dosage of ~4 droppers daily divided into 1-3 doses across the day.

Example #2 is BW 2 + AL 1 + DF 1 = ~4 droppers

To find a functional dose, start with a minimum dose of 15 drops to 1 dropper and work up to a functional dose.* Many benefits of tonics come from consistent and continued use over a period of time.*

Winter's Paradise dropper:

• 60 1ml droppers in a 2oz (60ml) bottle
• 1ml dropper = ~1000 mgs Winter's Paradise formula extract

Winter's Paradise drops:

• 30 drops in a 1ml dropper
• 1 drop = ~33 mgs Winter's Paradise formula extract

Suggested Winter's Paradise Cycle:*

• Initial Phase = 21-45 days
• Long Term = 45-90
• Optional Cycle-off Period = 7-21 days

Continuous consumption of Winter's Paradise will yield increasing benefits and results over the time consumed; in other words, consistent daily consumption of Winter's Paradise at a functional dosage over the period of suggested time will increase health and wellness benefits.*

After an initial cycle Winter's Paradise may be continued on-and-off for long-term supplementation health benefits or traded-out for another tonic adaptogen superfood.*

Benefits with tonics take time; taking enough consistently rewards health †

Take as desired: consume on a continuous basis to develop the natural tonic and adaptogenic benefits that build over time.* Some benefits are immediate and some results require consumption over several days and weeks to accomplish.* A good tonic cycle is 45-90 days of a tonic adaptogen which will generate lasting health changes.*

Shake gently: secure the lid and turn the bottle over back-and-forth 3-5 times to evenly distribute the tincture. Do not over-shake as the vigorous mixing of air with the extract will oxidize and damage many of the necessary constituents for required dosage and potency.

By mouth: hold the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds and then swallow the rest of extract; doing so allows digestion to begin in the mouth and will take advantage of the activated multi-step extract so that many of the constituents will bypass digestion and enter the body through the mouth and throat.* Holding the extract also promotes better absorption and assimilation and elicits an immediate effect that is performance oriented*

Mix with water: squirt the drops or entire droppers into 2-4 oz. of water that is under 120*F. Water that is cool to lukewarm temperature is best to preserve the volatile and fragile constituents from being damaged and denatured which will reduce the potency of the extract.* Sip slowly to allow absorption in the mouth and throat.* This method makes it easier to become accustomed to the extract and to take larger doses of several different tinctures at once in a tonic program.*

For maximum potency: regularly consume the tincture within a period of 45 days; after 45 days of continuous consumption the extract may begin to gradually lose potency requiring a larger dosage to achieve similar benefit.* A bottle will generally last 10-30 days depending on dosage and concurrent supplementation programming.*
