Press Release Summary = After years of enduring variable shift patterns as a long distance lorry driver, Eric Anderson, aged 42, found it had left him feeling severely lacking in get-up-and-go and emotionally low bordering on depression. A simple herbal remedy came to his rescue.
Press Release Body = "My get-up-and-go had definitely got-up-and-gone," said Eric. "For the past year, I just went to work, came home and went to sleep. My social life was totally non-existent."
One night on a journey back to London, England from Newcastle, Eric had to stop four times for cat-naps, making him more than one hour late on his journey. "You have to be able to explain every minute of your trip when you are a lorry driver," he explained. "I knew that night that if I didn\'t get some help, I was either going to have a serious accident or I was going to lose my job."
He'd read about a herb called Rhodiola in the daily newspapers some months before, but couldn't remember the details so he went onto the internet and found a supply online at www.ethicalvitamins.co.uk . The site\'s online reference database explained that Rhodiola would be useful to him for energy, stamina and mood elevation. The site also suggested a supplement of the B complex vitamins to address any nutritional deficiencies.
The primary organs in the body responsible for dealing with the effects of stress are the adrenal glands, which are situated just above the kidneys. If we are having to deal with chronic, on-going stress the adrenal glands eventually become exhausted and unable to produce sufficient amounts of the stress-reducing hormones adrenaline and cortisol.
Shift patterns, especially those including night shifts, excessive exposure to pollution (traffic fumes) and long-term stress (deadlines and driving) had brought Eric's adrenal system into overload.
Researched in Russia since the 1930s, Rhodiola, is the king of all stress-busting herbs and researchers have found Rhodiola to go above and beyond ginseng in its scope and activity. Rhodiola, a native herb of Siberia, has been shown to enhance the systems that regulate stress and help the body maintain fuel reserves to cope. It is an effective anti-depressant and has a reputation as an aphrodisiac, probably due to its ability to lift mood and improve stamina.
The B complex vitamins, particularly vitamin B5, are vital for the body's conversion of food into energy and aid mood elevation. Vitamin B5 supports the function of the adrenal glands.
Eric says: "I feel much safer in my job, and I now have the energy to go horse riding and start socialising again. Rhodiola and the B vitamins have made a real difference to my energy levels. I am much happier, but I am still waiting for an opportunity to use its aphrodisiac qualities!"
