The practice of drinking Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) was brought to Japan by monks returning from their studies at the Zen monasteries of 12th century China. For them, tea functioned as an aid to meditation, as a health aid, and as a tool to propagate Zen. As the years went by, tea and the reason for drinking it changed, but it never went out of fashion. Today, Green Tea is one of the three major non-alcoholic beverages in the world. Green Tea is a typical non-fermented tea that is enjoyed by many and is immensely popular in Japan. It is utilized as both a daily beverage and as a healthful drink. Green Tea contains a rich natural source of polyphenols and bioflavonoids. Recent studies have identified the valuable active constituents of Green Tea and continue to review its historical uses.

Because of its strong smell, Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) has a history of use as a cleansing herb. The earliest reference to the plant dates back to the 7th century when it was used to clean and improve the smell of kitchens and sickrooms. Native to central and southern Europe and western Asia, it is also now found in temperate regions of North America. Hyssop's minty leaves and flowers can be used sparingly to flavor green salads, chicken soup, liqueurs, lamb stew and poultry stuffing. Hyssop is easy to grow and is rarely bothered by pests or disease. If it is kept clipped, Hyssop makes a good low hedge. Today herbalists continue to recommend the herb for its health benefits.

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a perennial herb indigenous to Greece, Italy, Spain, Syria, Iraq and southern China. The root penetrates deeply into the ground and is the part of the herb that contains an abundance of valuable properties. The word Licorice comes from the Greek glykys (sweet) and rhiza (root), meaning sweet root. The root yields a substance known as glycyrrhizin or glycyrrhizic acid which is 50 times as sweet as sugar cane. The use of Licorice dates back to ancient times. Archaeologists found great quantities of Licorice stored among the fabulous jewelry and art treasures in the 3000 year-old tomb of King Tut. This was done to enable the departed spirit to prepare a sweet drink called Mai sus in the next world. It is still a favorite beverage among the Egyptians today.

The essential amino acids in BCAA Fuel – L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine – cannot be made by the body and are quickly oxidized during exercise. Supplementing with these BCAAs can play a key role in muscle growth and recuperation.* Additionally, BCAAs help increase Nitrogen retention and protein synthesis necessary to build muscle while preventing tissue breakdown.*
