Qualities
Middle Kingdom is combination of nine powerful herbal extracts. Each of which alone provide numerous health benefits and together effectively strengthen the digestive system, metabolism, and basic energy of the body. Research has shown that daily use of Middle Kingdom can harmonize digestion by assisting stomach and pancreas functions, by helping to facilitate the transport and assimilation of nutrients. Effective utilization of nutrients is one of the corner stones of healthy physical development. This is why traditionally many athletes would take herbs like Angelica Root and Ginseng (both of which are found in Middle Kingdom) in order to get the most out of the food they consumed. Thereby building their muscle mass and strength faster than the competition.

Middle Kingdom fortifies the physical body and provides energy for growth. In Western countries if you ask a man to demonstrate how strong he is he usually he will flex his arm muscles (biceps) or his chest muscles. In many parts of Asia if you ask a man the same question he will either stomp the ground or slap his belly. Why does he do this? This is because he knows one that his legs are stronger than his arms, but more importantly he is aware that his core strength resides in the abdominal cavity (tan tien). Western science has proven that the intestinal tract contains neurological tissue identical to the tissue found in the brain (this puts a whole new spin on “gut instinct” and “gut feeling”). The abdomen also houses the largest blood vessels in the body the abdominal aorta and vena cava. As well it is the center of the lymphatic system having the highest concentration of lymph nodes in the body. Together with all of the deeper muscles in the lower back, spine, and pelvis the abdominal cavity is truly our center and source of power. All of this information reaffirms the importance of maintaining the health and movement in center of the body. Regular consumption of Middle Kingdom will help one to strengthen the physical structures and develop the energies found within abdominal center energy.

Many of the herbs in Middle Kingdom help to regulate the endocrine system. When the glands of endocrine system (hormones) are balanced and the metabolism is functioning smoothly, more blood will flow to the extremities of the body. It especially flows to the head enriching the tissue of the brain with oxygen. Increased oxygen levels in the brain can significantly improve mental function and mental fortitude (Will).
