Depression Relief in 30 Minutes FLAT?! (NO Drugs Required)

Could the absolutely cruelty of depression treatment in America finally be over?

The way we treat depression in the United States is horrifying.

Desperate people show up at their doctors’ offices… practically begging for relief.

Then they’re handed prescription antidepressants and told to wait… weeks or even months for the meds to kick in.

And that’s if they ever kick in at all – for many people, antidepressants don’t work any better than a placebo.

But a new breakthrough may finally be on the horizon…

It’s a simple Chinese root… with thousands of years of documented, safe use.

When researchers tested it for depression, it delivered results in just 30 minutes flat.

You’ll NEVER hear about this in a mainstream doctor’s office – but we have all the information you need to know.

Polygala tenuifolia is an herb that grows on hillsides and grasslands throughout Northern China.

It’s been used by traditional healers for more than 2,000 years to help calm the mind and even improve anxiety.

Now, we know it may be one of the most fast-acting, natural depression relievers around.

In a study out of Korea, published in PLoS One, researchers induced depression in a group of mice and then gave them an extract from the root of Polygala tenuifolia.

Within just 30 minutes, the mice experienced dramatic changes to their mood.

They were more motivated… more energized… and engaging in fewer depression-related behaviors.

That’s right… these changes didn’t take 30 days. They took 30 minutes.

The secret to Polygala tenuifolia is that its root contains brain-healthy compounds, like oligosaccharide esters and saponins. In previous research, these compounds were found to:

• Increase levels of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports the growth and connection of neurons. Higher BDNF has been linked with better resilience and improvement in mood.
• Help boost norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that plays key role in regulating mood.

Even better? Polygala tenuifolia might give you a memory boost, too.

In another study out of Korea, a group of adults was given either a Polygala tenuifolia extract or a placebo for four weeks.

Within just four weeks, the Polygala tenuifolia group saw significant memory improvements, recalling facts much faster.

Now, like I said, Polygala tenuifolia is still not very well known in America – but that doesn’t mean you can’t find it.

You can buy it in capsule form from Nootropics Depot, or as a tincture from Hawaii Pharm. Expect to spend about $20 a month.
