Orion - Focus Blend

Orion the hunter is one of the most recognizable constellations in the sky with three brilliant stars adorning his belt. Standing tall on the celestial equator he stalks his prey, his bow taught and ready, his ethereal gaze and lazer focus on the mission at hand, the thrill of the hunt. 

In Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal formulas are blends of herbs that interact and support each other and work on the body/heart/mind synergistically to improve well being. 

The Orion formula is designed with focus in mind and contains a core blend of herbs to improve cognitive functions like memory, focus, increased alertness, mood-stabilization and long-term brain health with a boost from the assist blend which contains complementary compounds that enhance the core effects. This is achieved through the blending of eight amazing adaptogens:

Core Blend

This amazing plant contains high levels of naturally occurring L-dopa which is the precursor to dopamine an important neurotransmitter necessary for sleep, mood, memory and calming the nervous system. 

Lion’s Mane is the smart mushroom used in both culinary and supplement forms. This powerful mushroom contains nootropic compounds that boost memory, cognition and learning by increasing neuroplasticity and promoting nerve growth factor - helping the brain form new neural pathways and supporting overall nervous system health. 

Ginkgo biloba extract contains a spectrum of terpenes and flavonoids that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
