Sirtmax® Kaempferia parviflora

Kaempferia parviflora is found in the upper Northeastern regions of Thailand. Root extracts have a long history of use and a reputation for being a health tonic and energy enhancer (i.e., Thai ginseng). The novel active constituents are a special type of polyphenol called polymethoxyflavonoids. Sirtmax^® Kaempferia parviflora root extract is standardized for polymethoxyflavonoid content.*

Sirtmax^® Formulating Principles and Rationale

We consider Kaempferia parviflora to be in the adaptogenic herb category; following hormetic dosing principles (see Qualia Dosing Principles) with a high likelihood of having a hormetic range (i.e., a serving range below and above which results could be poorer). We have selected a serving that is within the studied range in humans.*
