Metabotanica Method
The Secret of Effective Botanical Formulas
Metagenics goes the extra mile to create powerful and innovative botanical formulas with the Metabotanica Method. This system combines the best of modern science with a long legacy of traditional methodology to capture the best of both worlds.
The Metabotanica Method ensures quality, safety, and clinical reliability through:
1) Selecting the appropriate plant preparation to fit the intended therapeutic application.
2) Selecting premium quality herbs (organically grown whenever available)
3) Verifying herb species, parts, quality, and constituents and documenting them with certificates of origin, identifying vouchers, and appropriate plant-specific chemical analyses.
4) Using time-honored methods to create authentic, traditional herbal formulas
5) Verifying finished formula quality and the presence and concentration of active factors through third-party assays.
The Stress Response: A Coordinated Series of Events
Neurotransmitters (or chemical messages) are released, triggering an increase in emotional response, and influencing memory, concentration, inhibition, and rational thought.
 The adrenal glands pump out a group of hormones known as glucocorticoids-including the primary stress hormone cortical-which marshal the heart, lungs, circulation, metabolism, and immune system.
The thyroid gland when imbalanced pumps out hormones that accelerate metabolism, producing symptoms such as occasional sleeplessness, nervousness, and exhaustion.
Sex hormone levels may be reduced with stress, thereby reducing libido, sexual function, and fertility. Acute stress may also cause a woman’s menstrual cycle to be irregular.
Glucose metabolism may be deregulated with stress as the liver releases stores of glucose into the bloodstream and the pancreas decreases insulin secretion, increasing blood sugar levels for needed energy.
Heart rate increases during stress as the heart pumps more blood throughout the body.
Respiratory function may be altered with stress. In some individuals breathing rate increases.
The coordinated activities involved in digestion can be slowed down as energy is diverted in the stress response, possibly resulting in stomach discomforts.
Metagenics stress defense formulas help balance natural events in the stress response.
