Logan Christopher's interest in herbal medicine stemmed from his pursuit of performance enhancement. As a strongman and athlete, he sought ways to improve recovery, energy, and overall performance, which led him to explore herbs like cordyceps and eventually the broader world of herbal medicine.
In TCM, superior herbs are non-toxic, can be taken long-term, and help normalize bodily functions. They are considered safe for healthy individuals to enhance overall health and include herbs like cordyceps, reishi, ashwagandha, and shilajit.
Cordyceps is valued in TCM for nourishing both yin and yang kidney essence, supporting lung function, and improving energy and endurance. Modern applications include enhancing athletic performance, increasing VO2 max, and aiding recovery after workouts.
Pine pollen is unique because it contains phytoandrogens, including trace amounts of testosterone, DHEA, and androstenedione. It also supports hormonal balance, energy, and metabolism, and is often used in tincture form for better absorption.
Shilajit is known for its adaptogenic properties, supporting both yin and yang energies. It enhances nutrient delivery to cells, detoxifies heavy metals, and contains fulvic and humic acids, which improve mitochondrial function and metabolism. It also acts as a carrier for other herbs, amplifying their effects.
Ashwagandha is known for its stress-reducing properties, which indirectly support thyroid function by lowering cortisol levels. It helps balance the stress response, which can improve overall hormonal health, including thyroid function.
Nettle root helps with prostate health by lowering sex hormone-binding globulin, reducing aromatase activity, and inhibiting 5-alpha reductase. It also alleviates urinary issues like frequent nighttime urination and incomplete bladder emptying.
Lost Empire Herbs plans to continue funding research, including a second pine pollen study focusing on younger men and potentially expanding to women. They are also experimenting with new product formats like spagyric formulations and spray bottle delivery systems.
