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® has been used in animal and human research studies.
Created by Tokiwa Phytochemicals, a leader in standardized Kaempferia parviflora supplementation.
Highest concentration, full-spectrum root extract, with double standardization for 5,7-dimethoxyflavone (≥ 4%) along with five Kaempferia parviflora polymethoxyflavonoids (≥ 15%).
Grown in Thailand & Laos.
Sirtmax® is a registered trademark of Tokiwa Phytochemical Co., Ltd.
We consider Kaempferia parviflora to be in the adaptogenic herb category; following hormetic dosing principles (see Neurohacker Dosing Principles) with a high likelihood of having a hormetic range (i.e., a dosing range below and above which results could be poorer). We have selected to dose this at an amount that is within the studied range in humans.*
