Orion Focus Blend For Mental Productivity
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:
