Dr. Israel Brekhman: The King of Adaptogens

Dr. Israel Brekhman was born in 1921 in the former Soviet Union, and for most of his 73 years on earth he dedicated his time to discovering new formulas to promote health and well-being for all. Dr. Israel Brekhman was not only a renowned scientist; he was also a researcher, medical doctor, teacher and philosopher. He wanted to find what nutritional substances would help people cope with everyday stresses, maintain a high level of energy, and rid the body of fatigue.

Dr. Israel Brekhman traveled to a remote, wild area of Russia to search the untainted mountains and jungle of the Primorye region. There, he found thousands of untouched plants that held a large variety of health benefits for mankind. Dr. Israel Brekhman once called the Primorye area “the greatest living laboratory on earth.” While there, Dr. Israel Brekhman discovered the “King of Adaptogens,” eleuthercoccus.

Dr. Israel Brekhman realized that stress and anxiety could take a hold of someone’s life and bring them down. Stress and anxiety can overtake all your thoughts and sometimes overwhelm all else. His hope was that his discovery would alleviate these symptoms and bring about peace and contentment. Many believe the discovery Dr. Israel Brekhman made has achieved this goal; his new class of plants called “adaptogens” are thought to bring about energy, reduce stress, and enrich lives.

When word spread about Dr. Israel Brekhman and his adaptogens, people from all professions began seeking him out for his expertise and guidance. Astronauts used adaptogens as dietary supplements to restore their body’s natural balance and protected them from becoming stressed over vertigo, weightlessness and other situations an astronaut faces. Athletes used the adaptogens to heighten their strength, energy and endurance. The adaptogens also allowed them to recuperate quicker and play more.

Although Dr. Israel Brekhman had accomplished so much, he still felt he hadn’t completely met his goal to create a nutritional supplement to keep people happy and healthy. In 1991, with the fall of the Soviet Union, Dr. Israel Brekhman was able to leave for the United States and share his discoveries. In America, he was able to create a more powerful adaptogen formula and share it with the world.
