Alleviates any general fluids dyscrasia (abnormal or pathological condition) within the muscles or connective tissues (e.g., cartilage, ligaments or tendons) that leads to the onset of various degenerative or debilitative conditions throughout the musculature (muscular structure) and connective tissue matrix, and eliminates any form of cachexia (state of malnourishment and general debility) throughout the muscles, cartilage, ligaments and tendons; reduces any overall bodily weakness or general debility (as well as any muscular fatigue or impaired muscle growth), and removes any chronic fatigue or exhaustion associated with various degenerative conditions throughout the musculature or connective tissues; exhibits anabolic activity in order to accelerate the production of DNA and RNA (which enhances the production of proteins in the form of antibodies), while increasing protein and lipid synthesis in the bone marrow and DNA/RNA content in the adrenals and lymph nodes (along with increased body weight and enhanced re-synthesis of glycogen and high-energy phosphate compounds); demonstrates powerful adaptogenic (balancing and strengthening) activity in order to increase the overall resistance of an organism towards any adverse influences or stressful conditions (whether they be physical, chemical or biological in nature), especially upon the muscles and connective tissues, immune system, and both the central (cerebro-spinal centers) and peripheral nervous systems; removes any form of vegetative dystonia (accompanied by thyrogenous symptoms) caused by a lack of tonicity throughout the musculature, and counteracts the catabolic effects of various toxins or pollutants in order to improve the overall functional capabilities of the musculature and connective tissues; provides significant resistance towards any stressful conditions in the muscle or connective tissues (as well as the essential materials in order to repair any worn-out cells or tissues), and demonstrates adaptogenic and anabolic properties in order to develop increased muscle weight gain; improves overall strength and muscle mass, due to the presence of the richest known vegetable source of natural steroid hormones; exhibits immuno-potentiating and immuno-stimulatory effects in order to enhance greater long-term immune potential and overall non-specific systemic immunity (or immune cell activity) and increased immune response (by activating the body's natural defense mechanisms), particularly in relation to the repair and restoration of any damaged muscles or connective tissues throughout the entire organism; displays significant antiphlogistic activity in order to inhibit the formation of certain inflammatory compounds (such as histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandin, serine proteases and thromboxanes), as well as to reduce any severe inflammatory swelling in the muscles, cartilage, ligaments and tendons by exerting an extremely positive influence towards correcting any internal inflammatory conditions in the cells or tissue-systems throughout the musculature and connective tissue matrix; exhibits significant antiseptic activity by destroying the vitality of any organized living ferments in order to prevent the onset of putrefaction or septicemia, and precipitates the proteins in any inflamed tissues in order to provide a mildly antiseptic and protective coating (under which the regeneration of new tissue occurs) for the musculature and conective tissue throughout the entire organism; acts as an effective antiseptic in order to remove any septic conditions associated with tissue degeneration or ulceration, and promotes increased suppuration and a steady toning or restorative impression to the entire glandular system (especially the liver, spleen and lymph glands); activates the overall systemic biological functions, and accelerates all the cellular processes to greater levels of metabolic activity; retards any normal aging effects by promoting increased tissue repair and accelerating the growth of healthy new cells, and regulates the neuro-muscular functions by stimulating increased hormonal secretions from the adrenal cortex; acts as a biocatalyst in order to directly affect the expenditure of energy-reserves that are stored in muscle ATP, thereby allowing for increased weight gain and improved skeletal muscle tone; displays biocatalytic activity in order to enhance greater assimilation of those essential nutrients that are necessary for the increased production of energy and vitality, thereby accelerating certain rejuvenative processes associated with the repair of any damaged muscle or connective tissues throughout the entire organism; acts as a biocatalyst in order to accelerate and accentuate the transport of all the other herbal ingredients throughout the entire organism to specific areas of the body (especially the musculature and connective tissues), and exhibits circulatory stimulant activity in order to permeate the entire organism (both internally and externally) with greater warmth and movement by supporting the innate warmth that resides in the blood and muscle tissues; acts as a cell proliferant in order to stimulate increased cellular mitosis (cell division and reproduction) in an adequate nutritional environment, as well as to accelerate the healing processes by promoting increased granulation and greater resolution during the repair of any damaged musculature or connective tissues; displays cell proliferant activity in order to inhibit the normal aging process within the muscles, cartilage, ligaments and tendons, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the various cells and tissue-systems throughout the entire musculature and connective tissue matrix; balances the chemical composition of the blood, and increases the formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells; rebuilds or restores greater physical strength, and accelerates increased body weight and energy levels; enhances optimal physical output by providing increased stamina or endurance levels, as well as promoting greater vigor and vitality throughout the entire organism; acts as a secretolytic stimulant in order to promote increased gastric, pancreatic or intestinal secretory and motor activity, and enhances greater peripheral circulation (due to its antioxidant activity); exhibits significant antioxidant effects in order to provide greater oxygen-transport capabilities throughout the bloodstream, as well as enhance the transport of additional oxygen directly into the cells and tissue-systems throughout the muscle and connective tissues; acts as a circulatory stimulant by increasing the blood flows through the arteries and blood vessels of the muscles in order to enhance greater nutrient transport, absorption and utilization, thereby accelerating the healing processes associated with the repair of any damaged tissue-systems throughout the entire musculature and connective tissue matrix; acts as an effective nutritive and rejuvenative tonic to the muscles, cartilage, ligaments and tendons during convalescence (due to the presence of rich sources of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, protein and vegetable hormones) in order to enrich, nourish and replenish any nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency within the cells or tissues throughout the musculature or connective tissue matrix, which leads to the development of various degenerative or atonic conditions throughout these areas of the body; demonstrates significant rejuvenative and restorative properties upon the basic plasma tissue-systems throughout the entire organism, thereby enhancing the production of vital bodily fluids while providing greater enrichment through increased assimilation of the various organic mineral salts; accelerates the recuperative processes that are essential in order to overcome any chronic degenerative or debilitative illnesses, while facilitating greater recovery response during convalescence in order to fully regain optimal health and well-being; activates the bodily processes of detoxification and elimination in order to cleanse and purify the bloodstream, tissue-systems and musculature, and acts as an eliminative vasotonic to the blood, liver and splenic functions (as well as upon the eliminative functions of the lymphatic system); enhances the overall cleansing process by dilating the surface capillaries in order to more effectively remove any toxic debris or metabolic waste materials through the pores of the skin, and increases the secretion and elimination of urine in order to provide further support to the inner cleansing process; displays alterative activity in order to correct any disordered bodily function, thereby activating increased alterations in both metabolic and tissue functions as a defensive measure against the onset of acute or chronic disease; exhibits restorative effects in order to regain increased vigor or vitality and greater strength, while enhancing normal tissue and metabolic functional capabilities; demonstrates alterative and restorative properties in order to re-establish healthy systemic functional capabilities, as well as to establish greater vascular tone throughout the entire organism (due to its ability to stimulate increased secretory flows); exhibits alterative effects in order to stimulate the anabolic growth processes, thereby enhancing the repair of any degenerated, deteriorated and debilitated cells or tissues (while promoting the elimination of any catabolic waste materials); displays tonifying effects in order to permanently enhance the overall energy-levels throughout the entire organism, without adversely affecting the functional capabilities of any
particular organ or system.
