The Aviator Transcendent Elixir

The Aviator is our formulation intended to support the body and mind before, during and after travel. This super-potent blend may help to relieve swelling, brain fog, phobias and immune challenges commonly associated with air travel. This alchemical elixir is a practical and convenient addition to everyday life. Bacopa (Bacopa monnieri) is an important plant in Ayurveda that has been used to support memory, cognitive function and alleviate feelings of anxiety and stress (1). Additionally, Bacopa contains active compounds called bacosides which have been shown to protect against the effects of free radicals, much like antioxidants do. In a 2008 study, published on the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, research found that Bacopa “has shown memory-enhancing effects in three double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies. A trial in 46 healthy volunteers 18–60 years old by Stough et al. evaluated their performance on a battery of cognitive tests after 5 weeks and after 12 weeks of 300 mg of B. monnieri extract daily. The investigators reported significant improvements in measures of the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) and in State Anxiety” (1). Bacopa, as an adaptogen may also increase the bodies resistance to stress and maintain healthy blood pressure levels. Next up in this blend is Devil’s Horsewhip (Achyranthes Aspera), which may support and tonify healthy digestion and often used to help relieve nausea (3). Lastly in our Aviator blend is The Intellect plant (Celastrus paniculatus), an ancient Ayurvedic shrub that grows at high elevations primarily in India. In Ayurveda, the plant is taken to “enlighten the mind” and used as a bitter digestive tonic. When we travel, we often experience symptoms of discomfort which may alter our digestive and immune function— which is why these adaptogens have been hand-selected for optimum bioavailability (4). This potent elixir blend can be enjoyed daily to support the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, mental clarity and acuity.
