High - Mountain Treasures

As one climbs to very high elevations, the environment changes radically. Friendly sunlight suddenly becomes hostile and laser bright. Within minutes, it scorches skin and foliage alike. With less atmosphere to shield against it, the invisible cosmic radiation also increases exponentially, ripping through the most fragile cellular structures like tiny shotgun blasts. Then there is the paralyzing cold, turning plant and body fluids into explosive, razor sharp crystals - little swords piercing every cell. Temperatures slam back and forth from barely thawed to exquisitely frozen, stabbing cells into mush.

Precipitation can vary from ice pellets arriving at face shredding speeds, to that of a desert, with scarcely any precipitation at all, except perhaps what might collect from a passing fog. Soil is virtually absent, with rock cracks and gravel being the closest alternative. And perhaps most hostile of all, the life-gas pressures drop, as plants and people slowly suffocate.

Above 10,000 feet we find only an occasional rare example of human or plant life. Above 15,000 feet we find only miracles of people and plants - the heartiest trees, shrubs and villages having given up thousands of feet below. What we do find at such heights may only be there for a brief visit in this almost fictional place - a cross between the deep arctic and outer space. Mountain climbers refer to it as the ?death zone.

Yet, it is precisely in this 10,000 to 15,000? foot zone that two amazing plants have decided to stake claim. One example is Golden Arctic Root and the other is Maca - Arctic Root high in Himalayan Central Asia and the mountains of Northern Europe, and Maca at the same nose-bleed elevations of the high Andes Mountains of South America.

The high altitude radiation and its chemical byproducts attacking these plants? cells, is not much different from oxidation / rancidification / metabolic waste chemistry that is disrupting, mutating and aging your own cells this very moment. Nor is it different from the high altitude radiation encountered during airline flights which contributes the bulk of the symptoms of jet lag, including poor decision making and disruption to clear thought processes.

For these plants, the antidote-chemistry is crisis-survival-critical, so their adaptogenic and antioxidant molecules must be extraordinarily fast, abundant, effective and powerful. We concentrate these valuable components and set them in the most supportive synergistic phytonutrient matrix that has ever existed - Iridesca!

We are taking high-altitude Himalayan and Andean adaptogens and boosting them with some good old Yankee ingenuity and phytonutrient assimilation/utilization enhancers from the Amazon Rainforest. Nobody has ever done this before.

Then, in Iridesca, these ready-adaptogens find themselves in a vast workshop of their dreams, where every resource they can use is supplied instantly, in abundance, in its best possible form. Just don?t expect any of your cells to sit around feeling pointless and bored.

And if you can grasp the significance of the synergy we just described, please note that it is only the tip of the iceberg. To begin to understand the full scope of Iridesca synergy, you have to push out the walls of understanding so you are able to enclose some much bigger ways of thinking about the human instrument than some people may feel comfortable thinking.
