Description

STRESS LESS. ADAPT BETTER. FEEL LIKE YOURSELF AGAIN.

When stress becomes your normal, you feel it everywhere.

Wired but tired.

Mentally overloaded.

Poor sleep.

Constant tension.

Low resilience.

Exhausted but unable to switch off.

For thousands of years, Ayurveda has treasured one remarkable herb for restoring resilience in times of physical and emotional stress:

TULSI - HOLY BASIL

Known in India as the "Queen of Herbs" and traditionally revered as an "Elixir of Life," Tulsi has become one of the world's most fascinating botanical adaptogens.

NeoGenesis delivers it in a seriously concentrated form:

5,000 MG TULSI LEAF EQUIVALENT

500 MG ACTUAL 10:1 EXTRACT

STANDARDISED TO 2% URSOLIC ACID

10 MG URSOLIC ACID PER CAPSULE

Ancient Ayurvedic resilience - transformed into a modern standardised extract.

THE ADAPTOGEN FOR MODERN LIFE

Your body was designed to deal with stress.

It wasn't designed to feel stressed all day, every day.

Deadlines.

Emails.

Traffic.

Work pressure.

Poor sleep.

Training.

Travel.

Family demands.

Constant stimulation.

Tulsi belongs to the group of botanicals commonly described as adaptogens, herbs used to help the body maintain resilience when confronted with physical and psychological stress.

Rather than simply making you sleepy or stimulating you more, Tulsi's modern appeal is different:

HELP THE BODY ADAPT.

STRESS CORTISOL CALM SLEEP RESILIENCE

AND YES! TULSI HAS HUMAN STRESS RESEARCH

This isn't simply an ancient story.

In a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial, 100 stressed adults received Tulsi extract or placebo for eight weeks.

Compared with placebo, Tulsi produced significantly greater improvements in perceived stress and sleep-related scores.

Even more fascinating:

HAIR CORTISOL WAS LOWER

And when participants were deliberately exposed to an experimental stress challenge, the Tulsi group showed:

LOWER SALIVARY CORTISOL

LOWER SUBJECTIVE STRESS

LOWER SALIVARY ALPHA-AMYLASE

A MORE BUFFERED BLOOD-PRESSURE RESPONSE

Perceived Stress Scale scores fell by approximately 37% from baseline in the Tulsi group versus 19% with placebo over eight weeks.

THIS IS WHY TULSI HAS BECOME SUCH AN EXCITING MODERN STRESS ADAPTOGEN.

CORTISOL + THE STRESS RESPONSE

Cortisol isn't the enemy.

It's an essential hormone involved in your natural response to challenge.

The problem is when life seems to keep your stress-response system switched on.

Modern Tulsi research is particularly interesting because investigators aren't only asking people:

"Do you feel less stressed?"

They're also measuring physiological markers of the stress response.

The eight-week human trial found significantly lower hair cortisol at week eight and lower salivary cortisol responses during an acute laboratory stress challenge in the Tulsi group.

That gives Tulsi a particularly compelling position for people wanting to support:

HEALTHY STRESS RESPONSE

HEALTHY CORTISOL REGULATION

HPA-AXIS RESILIENCE

CALM UNDER PRESSURE

THE "WIRED BUT TIRED" HERB

You' re exhausted.

But your brain is still running.

You finally get into bed...

and suddenly your mind wants to replay the entire day.

Tulsi's human research connects stress and sleep, which makes enormous sense.

In the eight-week placebo-controlled study, Tulsi supplementation was associated with significantly greater improvement on the Athens Insomnia Scale, alongside improvements in perceived stress.

CALMER DAYS CAN CREATE BETTER NIGHTS.

ANOTHER HUMAN TRIAL: 39% GREATER IMPROVEMENT

Tulsi's human stress research doesn't stop there.

A separate randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled six-week study evaluated Tulsi extract in adults experiencing general stress.

Researchers reported improvements across stress-related symptoms including:

Frequent exhaustion

Sleep problems

Forgetfulness

Stress-related symptoms

Overall improvement in general stress symptoms was reported as 39% greater than placebo.

LESS OVERWHELMED. MORE RESILIENT.

STRESS + MENTAL PERFORMANCE

Stress doesn't only affect how you feel.

It affects how you think.

When you're overwhelmed, concentration becomes harder. Reaction time suffers. You forget things. Mental energy disappears.

Tulsi has even been investigated in a placebo-controlled human study examining cognition and stress-related parameters.

After 30 days, the Tulsi extract group demonstrated significant improvements versus placebo in several measures involving reaction time and error rates on cognitive testing.

That makes Tulsi particularly interesting for people who don't simply want to relax.

They want to remain:

CALM

CLEAR

FUNCTIONAL

FOCUSED

RESILIENT

5,000 YEARS OF AYURVEDIC TRADITION

Tulsi isn't a newly discovered wellness trend.

Known as Holy Basil, Ocimum tenuiflorum occupies an extraordinary place in Indian culture and Ayurvedic tradition.

It has traditionally been associated with general wellbeing, vitality and longevity, with modern scientific literature describing its Ayurvedic reputation as an "elixir of life."

Tulsi has traditionally been consumed as a herb and tea and used across an enormous range of Ayurvedic wellness practices.

Today, its ancient reputation for resilience has made Tulsi particularly relevant to one of modern life's biggest problems:

CHRONIC STRESS.

WHAT MAKES URSOLIC ACID INTERESTING?

Tulsi contains a complex botanical spectrum of naturally occurring compounds.

One of the important compounds found in Tulsi leaf is:

URSOLIC ACID

Ursolic acid is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpene that has attracted extensive scientific attention around biological pathways involving:

Inflammatory signalling

Oxidative stress

Metabolic function

Cellular resilience

Rather than supplying an unspecified Tulsi powder, NeoGenesis uses an extract standardised to:

2% URSOLIC ACID

Each 500 mg extract capsule therefore provides approximately:

10 MG URSOLIC ACID

NOT JUST HOLY BASIL POWDER

There's a major difference.

ORDINARY TULSI POWDER

500 mg capsule

=

500 mg leaf

NEOGENESIS TULSI

500 mg of a concentrated:

10:1 EXTRACT

=

5,000 MG TULSI LEAF EQUIVALENT

AND standardised to:

2% URSOLIC ACID

=

10 MG URSOLIC ACID

CONCENTRATION + STANDARDISATION

5 GRAMS OF TULSI. ONE CAPSULE.

The maths is simple:

500 mg actual Tulsi extract

x

10:1 concentration

=

5,000 MG WHOLE TULSI LEAF EQUIVALENT

Plus:

2% URSOLIC ACID

This is Tulsi designed for the modern adaptogen user.
