Gingko
has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years and used
to treat ailments from asthma and bronchitis to fatigue and ringing
in the ears. Chinese monks believe the herb to be sacred and are credited
with keeping it in existence. Currently Gingko has been included in
remedies to cure Alzheimer’s, dementia, sexual dysfunction and
even multiple sclerosis.Gingko increases blood flow to the brain and
throughout the body, which increases the transportation of blood and
oxygen to the organs.
This herb has also been known to relieve tension and anxiety, restore
energy and even elevate mood. Because gingko helps increase circulation
in the body, it promotes health and wellness in a variety of different
organs including the heart, brain, blood vessels, central nervous

Caffeine can be found in coffee, tea and even chocolate!
Caffeine
enters the bloodstream and the effects can be felt about 15 minutes
after it is consumed. Its staying power is quite remarkable- it usually
takes about 6 hours for half of the caffeine consumed to be eliminated
from the body
Taurine
is an amino acid that helps enhance the
effects of caffeine. Taurine acts to regulate heartbeat, maintain
cell stability and prevent over-activity of the brain. Taurine
is an amino acid that helps enhance the effects of caffeine.
It is found in bile acids, which help to absorb fat and fat-soluble
vitamins. Taurine acts to regulate heartbeat, maintain cell
stability and prevent over-activity of the brain. It is involved
in several pathways related to metabolism by moving sodium and
potassium molecules in and out of cells. Taurine acts as a detoxifier,
required for fat absorption.
Oddly
enough, researchers did not know how beneficial taurine was to the
human body until studies on cats revealed that it was essential to
feline health. Cats with taurine deficiencies experienced problems
with the eyes and blood. It was later discovered to show similar effects
in infants. Taurine is now a common component of most baby formulas.
Glucoronolactone
is a metabolite that promotes a sense of well-being.
It is naturally occurring in the body and is produced by the metabolism
of glucose in the liver. Glucoronolactone has also been shown to improve
memory retention and concentration.
Vitamin
Complex
The vitamin complex found in EQ
contains essential components such as Niacin, Potassium, Riboflavin and
Vitamin B6 to improve health and give the body important restorative elements.
The vitamin complex found in EQ
contains essential components such as Niacin, Potassium, Riboflavin and
Vitamin B6 to improve health and give the body important restorative elements.
As a whole, the B vitamin complex functions to assist in the formation of
red blood cells and brain chemicals and production and maintenance of body
cells, as well as elevate mental ability, brain processes and immune function.
Alcohol consumption, and especially overindulgent consumption, depletes
and destroys B group vitamins in the body. These vitamins play an essential
role in metabolism, water retention and energy, however the body cannot
store most B vitamins, and therefore they must be replenished immediately
if lost from the body. EQ
contains a mix of B group vitamins that includes B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin),
B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine) and B12 (cyanocobalamin). Specifically,
vitamins B5 and B6 promote metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats
to promote liver function and produce energy, which is especially vital
to combat the effects of too much alcohol intake.
