In this breakthrough work, Carl Germano, a registered certified clinical nutritionist, expert in nutritional supplementation, and co-author of Kensington's bestselling The Brain Wellness Plan, offers a comprehensive look at Arctic root, or Rhodiola rosea, the most powerful herb yet on the market to help the body and mind remain healthy -- more powerful, in fact, than ginseng.

Arctic root aids the body in defending itself against the ravages of stress by helping to replenish the nutrients which are lost when high levels of stress are present. Originally discovered in Russia and researched there for decades, it is only recently that such research has become available in the West. In his book, Germano tells readers everything they need to know about this completely natural, nontoxic supplement, including how and why it combats depression, heart disease, immune system diseases, and cancer, while increasing physical and mental performance.
