From Depression to Rebooting, Recharging, and Elevating Our Mood.

Using the Phyto Power to re-boot the heart and brain, and gently cleanse the liver, while elevating a depressive state into a stable, "life is good" attitude - is a healthy step.

In other words, going from a depressive state of being to a healthy, stable, and dare I say, even a joyful state, sounds overwhelming and in a depressed state, un-doable. 

But there is a power to the hermetic effect of the wildcrafted blueberries, rose hips, and dandelion.

The three beautiful berries and flowers come from far away into the wilderness, in remote areas of Alaska, where the climate is harsh and living conditions are harsher for humans, animals, and plants alike (Grace et al., 2014; Herman-Mercer et al., 2020). 

This is precisely the reason why the Phyto Power is so potent and so pure - each plant grows wild in fields that are too far for people to get to, and too harsh of an environment for people to settle in, so the soil is clean of toxins and chemicals, and the plants must produce polyphenols that are intense to protect themselves (Dinstel et al., 2013; Redwood et al., 2019). 

It is also the reason we created this product to support DNA and Cellular integrity - there is such a surge of nutrients, bolstering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory defenses, regenerating cellular function. The research is impressive (Soveid et al., 2023). 

And of course, we have been talking about the research on blueberries and depression, the polyphenols in general and their ability to elevate the mood. We are now adding plants to nourish the heart (the universe of our feelings of love and joy) and gently boost the liver (the seat of the soul, according to Greek tradition). 

Phyto Power

We suggest 1-2 capsules a day in the morning (for a boost of energy).
