Spartan Adaptogenic Formula for Greater ENERGY Guaranteed or Your Money Back
Fight Stress, Fight Fatigue, Fight Burnout and Increase Physical and Mental Work Capacity*
There is one thing above all that people notice when they take Spartan Formula…greater energy. Whether they use this to work harder, play harder, in the gym or elsewhere is up to them.
We’d love to give you the same benefits like Brett got:
“I feel like a freaking Spartan. And I feel a little weird writing that in a review, but it’s true. I’m a 38 year old business owner. I’ve been taking this for about a week to week and a half and the mental clarity and energy I’m experiencing is pretty remarkable. I also feel a little more aggressive…Like a need to get a work out in. Anyway, I’ve been a supplement guy for ever in terms of vitamins and the basics. I’m new to this stuff, but it’s been amazing so far.”
But nothing works for everyone. That is why we stand behind our 365 Day Money Back Guarantee. Nothing to send back. No big hoops to jump through. If it does NOT work for you, simply let us know and we’ll refund your full purchase price.
The only way you’ll know is to try it for yourself.
Why We Need More Spartan Toughness These Days…
The Spartans have become legendary in their fighting ability and toughness.
Subject to military drill from infancy, the Spartans were one of the most feared military forces in world history. At the height of Sparta’s power – between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE – it was commonly accepted that, “one Spartan was worth several men of any other state.” Throughout their adult lives, the Spartans continued to be subject to a training regime so strict that, as Plutarch says, “They were the only men in the world with whom war brought a respite in the training for war.”
That’s stress! Perhaps it makes the trials and tribulations of modern day living seem lesser, but the truth is far more people in this day and age are under chronic loads of stress. So much so that the body can’t handle it and begins to break down.
But what if there was a way to combat that stress? What if you have the physical and mental endurance and concentration you needed to excel in life? What if you were able to keep like a Spartan with no choice but to continue training? The answer is an herbal class called adaptogens, and this adaptogenic formula is designed to give you the biggest and best fighting chance…
The Amazing Ability of Adaptogens
An adaptogen is a substance that helps you to better “adapt”. They help, in the words of toxicologist Lazarev who coined the term, to increase “the state of non-specific resistance”. The means your body becomes better in a general way. In Western medicine the common idea is “one disease, one drug”. This idea does NOT apply to adaptogens as they have been shown to help with many problems. Adaptogens have been found to exhibit neuro-protective, anti-fatigue, anti-stress, nootropic and CNS stimulating activity.*
This chart shows the differences between a stimulant like caffeine and adaptogens.
Anti-Stress Effects
Russia has led the field in studying adaptogens. One finding is that they assist in the regulation and homeostatis of the neuro-endocrine-immune complex.* That means your nervous system, endocrine or hormonal system and the immune system work better.
Specifically, the stress protective effects are associated with the HPA axis (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal). Adaptogens appear to activate stress-induced self defense mechanisms in cells, which then allows the cells to better handle stress in the future.* In this way they’re referred to as stress-mimetics. In this formula you get not one adaptogen but a blend of four of the most powerful ones out there: Eleuthero, Rhodiola, Schisandra and Cordyceps
Eleutherococcus senticosus
In 35 clinical trials Eleuthero was tested in healthy human subjects against various stressful conditions including hot temperatures, athletics, heavy physical burden, loud noise conditions, forced work, intense mental and physical work and more.*
In ALL there was an improvement of physical and mental work capacities. It was also shown to be helpful with illnesses including, atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, trauma, neurosis, heart disease, insomnia, cancer and more.*
Rhodiola rosea
Rhodiola has strong effects on the symptoms of stress-induced fatigue. This was shown via cortisol (the stress hormone) measurement in the saliva.*
In 128 patients with clinical symptoms of fatigue, treatment with Rhodiola improved partially or completely every patient’s symptoms. It’s been shown to assist when you’re feeling down and normalize sleep.*
LD50 is that is the dosage that kills half of a population. Research reduced overdosing on ethanol in mice by about 120%. That means it took much more to kill them. To some up in the USSR Rhodiola was recognized for the following five effects:
- Acts as a stimulant for those suffering fatigue (but without being over-stimulating)*
- Increases ability for mental work*
- Aids in recovery from physical and mental work*
- Assist in optimal sexual function in males*
- To assist with psychiatric patients in improvement as well as mitigating negative drug side effects.*
The Rhodiola used in this formula is not our current Rhodiola but an older version. This is done to make the formula more affordable.
Schisandra chinensis
Back in WW2 Soviets used schisandra berries for their stimulating and tonic effects. They began doing this after looking at the native hunters who used them to reduce thirst, hunger and exhaustion as well as for improving night vision.*
Schisandrin B stimulates the expression of heat shock proteins in normal cells which enhances mitochondrial glutathione status, other antioxidant activity, ATP generation, cognitive enhancements, and reductions in age-related impairments.*
Schisandra can help to relieve a down mood.* It’s even been found to be useful for other mental health issues.* Now includes the highest quality Organic Schisandra Concentrate on the market!
This table shows some of the effects of Rhodiola, Eleuthero, and Schisandra.
But that’s not all, to Spartan Formula we’ve added another powerful adaptogen and one of our personal favorites.
Cordyceps
In Tibet, and now being backed up by modern research, Cordyceps is considered a remedy for weakness and fatigue, and are used as an overall rejuvenator for increased energy.*
It is used in the region to help offset the effects of altitude sickness and improve oxygen capacity.* This effect is what makes it attractive to athletes as one of the medicinal mushrooms it has immuno-modulating effects and has been known for its aphrodisiac qualities.* Our cordyceps are sourced from the USA, are true cordyceps and are grown in 100% organic conditions similar to the Himalayan mountains.
The cordyceps used in this formula is not our Cordyceps militaris but our old Cordyceps Blend to make Spartan more affordable.
Physical Endurance for Athletes
Although we designed this formula with stress fighting in mind, as you can see it has powerful physical effects as well. Not only do these herbs help with mental fatigue but physical as well. Taking this formula you’re likely to improve better in physical activities, especially endurance activities like running, biking, swimming, etc. Designed to give you the endurance, fortitude and stress resistance of a Spartan.*
Each bag is full of 100 grams or just over 3.5 ounces. Recommended starting dose is one tablespoon per day. There are roughly 15 tablespoons per bag. Contains roughly 6.6% non-GMO corn maltodextrin from some of the herbal extracts inside.
Contraindications:
Spartan Formula is not to be used while pregnant or breastfeeding as it is untested in doing this. Some people also recommend avoiding taking schisandra when you have the common cold or flu, because of its astringent properties, in holding moisture in the body. Other than that there are very few side effects to these herbs. Of course, everyone is different so you’ll have to try it out to find out how well it works for you.

Is amazing, love all your products.
Peg Futrell (verified owner) –
Nice product for someone who needs adaptogenic support. Put in layman’s terms, my adrenals don’t work well. Note that adrenals are far more important than current medical science knows. For one, they help regulate ALL organs, and they also help detox.
! But this product helps. Thanks!
Paul B. (verified owner) –
Great product. I use this product after bicycling for 3-5 hours. This rejuvenates me along with pine pollen. I feel much better and able to complete the day. I use the Hercules formula before my exercise and this afterward. Great combo.

This formula has a very good taste.
When I have a lot of work I take one tablespoon with the Jiaogulan tea herbs early in the morning at my office. The effects are immediately there, more concentration, more relaxation and calmness. It gives you more focus and self esteem. Also after workout 1 tablespoon Spartan Formula and 1 Tablespoon Beetjuice Powder mixed with natural water or almond milk gives you a good relax. I choose always the Athlete Bundle?

Noticeable improvement in my ability to get through back to back 16 hr shifts and tolerate continuous overtime in a prison environment. Solid product and grateful to have it!
lorose115 (verified owner) –
I tried Spartan first before I ordered any other herbs because it really seemed to cover everything I was looking for. I LOVED IT. So much more energy without a shaky feeling or over whelmed feeling. Also felt so much less stress and a clearer mind when at work. I ordered the Athena herb this past time to see if maybe this was better for a female, while it is good I must be honest that the Spartan worked better for me. So I will absolutely be ordering again! So glad I tried it.
Howard Tibbs (verified owner) –
Love this product!
Chad Utzman –
Spartan formula was the first herbal blend that I’ve ever tried really, I didn’t know what to expect, of course, it has an earthy taste, but once I drank it all, I noticed a big change in my level of energy! I was planning on working out 2 hours later, and my goodness it was one of the best workouts I’ve ever had! I love this stuff and will continue to use it on my work out days! Thanks Lost Empire Herbs!

I am a believer in buying herbs separately and mixing them up myself. However, I tried the Spartan Formula and was pleasantly surprised.

I feel like a freaking Spartan. And I feel a little weird writing that in a review, but it’s true. I’m a 38 year old business owner. I’ve been taking this for about a week to week and a half and the mental clarity and energy I’m experiencing is pretty remarkable. I also feel a little more aggressive…Like a need to get a work out in. Anyway, I’ve been a supplement guy for ever in terms of vitamins and the basics. I’m new to this stuff, but it’s been amazing so far. I’m also taking Pine Pollen Tincture, but one day I took only this and the mental clarity and energy was still there. Also, my wife is super snotty and congested with a cold right now. I haven’t gotten a single symptom. Impressive.

I’m a competitive kettlebell lifter and have used rhodiola and cordyceps with good effect in the past in other supplements. The first difference I noticed with Spartan Formula was that about an hour after taking it I felt much more alert and awake. I have never had this effect with other supplements containing rhodiola or cordyceps before. In addition my comfort level was better during my training and competition. It helps produce that feeling you can push hard and breath heavy but still feel somewhat at ease. I would definitely recommend any endurance athlete give this supplement a try. I felt good effects with a 1 tbsp dose about 60-90 min before training (I’m 177 lbs.)
BlakeTheSecretCeleb7 –
I genuinly believe the price is worth this formula! I’m actually surprised it doesn’t cost more considering all the benefits and rare herbs! You could spend the same amount on Rhodiola and Schisandra is worth 19.99! Not only do get significantly increased rate of fat burning from this formula, you get better sleep and spiritual benefits as well, planning on getting this sometime soon hopefully!!!! (NOT TO MENTION CORDYCEPS!!!)

I ordered this for my older Teen son who has PDD (autism spectrum) and plays sports. He stated that he instantly felt like whoo and it helped him not be so distracted during the day.
Zane Christopher –
Thank you AL-Nissa, we don’t hear much about teens taking some of the herbs.
Ryan –
Goes great with a cup of black tea and some raw honey!

This is also a great product that I use in conjunction with the Thor’s Hammer and Phoenix formula. Great stuff!
Lonnie (verified owner) –
I started the Spartan formula this week. I do bjj and I could definately tell a difference in my performance and stamina . As far as the taste goes.. It’s not bad at all considering that Hercules and Thor’s hammer taste god awful . I can stomach it down but geez .. I’ll give 4 stars overall because I think this particular blend is priced a little high
JR Moraes –
Taking this formula before my 02 hours Surfing and my Pilates stretching class, and i can telling you! this stuff works!!
Another great product from lost empire herbs.( Waiting for my Hercules Formula arrive to test on my Gym sessions..)
Christian –
AWESOME stuff! It balances well in reducing my busy stress. I feel more relax.
Chris –
Have been using this along with pine pollen for 3 weeks. I take 1 tsp of each in the morning right before breakfast. I also add 1 tsp of each to my protein drink on workout days.
So far the only noticeable effect has been that I’m sleeping better. I normally get about 8hrs of sleep/night, but now I am waking up 30min earlier feeling totally refreshed. I feel no adverse effects of losing that 30min during the day.
So this combo has given me an additional 30min to my day!
roger –
Ultra positive effect!
Mind focus and zen attitude!
Remouve a high pubalby in only 3 days with a verry high antiinflammatory effect !!!!!!!!
Anty stress effect is verry high!!!
Verry good product for stress and anti depressive effect to.
Top top !!!!

This is a question and a review…The downside for me was it raised my BP quite a bit and I had to stop it.
Upside, it did everything you said it would and I really hate to give it up or send it back for a refund. The product is worth more to me than the money and I fell it is more than worth the price for those that can use it.
So, if you have any idea’s on what to use in your arsenal of Herbs that would give the same results I would like instead of a refund something you could recommend and switch it out. Or, your suggestion as to how to proceed. I think you site is a well informed message for all who will try or listen.
I will await your decision or suggestions…Many thanks Angelo

At 69 this gives me wonderful stamina that I can really feel.
Guy –
I am very impressed with how well the Spartan formula works, I started using it for trail running and hiking and almost instantly doubled the distance I was doing easily! Legitimately keeps me from getting fatigued! Thanks Lost Empire Herbs!
Adam –
I want to start by highlighting the many positives of this product. It will clear your brain fog quickly. It will give you a clear head for several hours, and a nice lift in energy. I also feel like it has some positive effect on libido to a modest degree. The only downside of this product is that it isn’t very palatable. Like most powders, you have to man up and slog it down. I tried capping it with “00” capsules and you have to take close to 20 caps if you want to do it that way. For me it’s just as easy to eat the powder.
Jonathan Smith –
I was skeptical at first. I had never tried a herb of any type at all. I had my doubts, plenty of them. I have anxiety from being in the service and have not been able to sleep well in YEARS. Most of it due to my mind racing about what tomorrow holds for me at work. My job in the Navy is stressful and the work load can be a bit much at times not to mention all the political games that play a factor. So I took Spartan for the first time in January and continue to use it today. I love this stuff, I can sleep better at night and the stress doesn’t bother me near as much as it use too. I also compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so the benefits of Spartan play a huge role in helping me stay ready to train everyday! Thanks Lost Empire Herbs!

I took this stuff before I went to the gym. It definitely up’ed my mood, gave me more physical energy, and seemed to have improved my focus. I’ve been rock climbing for 7 years. When I took this stuff tonight, I didn’t feel the jitters that I get from some pre-workout stuff. I just felt like I had more than normal energy, and a clear head. The focus aspect was nice, because in rock climbing there is a lot of thinking involved about body motion, foot placement, balance, and thinking ahead on your next move. I felt like it was easier to think about what I was doing.
The taste is weird. But that’s okay, I really don’t care.
Beware, it’s not a bad thing, but it does make you really thirsty. Not sure if it dehydrates you or what, but I was craving a lot more water than I usually do when I’m climbing. That’s a really minor complaint though.
I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn’t $40! It just won’t last long enough to justify it. These supplements are great, but I really wish there were coupons or occasional discounts or memberships or something that would bring the price down a bit. Anyway, that’s the only reason I took away one star – it’s expensive… not sure if I’ll buy it again.
Kraig D. Moore, MD –
Your formulas “Rock”.. I mean really!.. Your choice of herbs are great!.. That Spartan formula”?.. I was so impressed to see you addd Cordyceps!.. Not a well known herb. One of my favorites. I take all the rest in that formula but had to add another product to get the Cordyceps.
Once I saw you guys had added that to the Siberian ginseng, Rhodiola etc?? That answered my prayers! EXCELLENT choice. Your Spartan formula gives me 99% of all my training herbs.

So i started of the day with very little energy. I did not get any sleep before team practice and i felt a little sick. The day before, I planned on waking up somewhat earlier to take the supplements in sections. However when I woke up late, that was no longer any option. I ate a couple eggs and veggies and grabbed my protein shaker and mixed the spartan formula, Hercules, and pine pollen all in one about 30 minutes before class. And the verdict is I was greatly surprised! I had a solid amount of energy but not a jittery feeling of energy. It was more sustained than the “energy buzz” you get from the morning coffee. I was able to focus all through class whilw having solid amounts of ready energy. I like to always fully test myself when trying a new supplement so I also stay around for a couple of light conditioning rounds. And again, I felt great!!! My body was tired, but I still had the energy to finish my workout strong and how I finish means the most to me. If I come across someone that really trains hard or is always looking for thag edge but a natural edge, I know EXACTLY where to send them now. Amazing products for sure.
Ronald –
I tried your Spartan formula…. one word…. EXCELLENT!!!! MAGNIFICENT!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!.. Sorry, couldn’t keep it to just one. : )
Richard –
Loved this adaptogenic blend! Some days I train 2 or 3 times a day, I blend a tablespoon of Spartan in between sessions and it has helped me feel a strong constant energy all day.
Victoria Rusk –
Great to take in the morning like coffee.. or just stop coffee and take this instead because there is a point where you don’t want to take more. It lets you know you are doing too much if you don’t want to feel ‘wired’. I took 1 TBSP a day and when I worked past 10pm I would take another one. It taste ok. I also mixed this with Shizandra-berry (for the ladies). I eat pretty clean so if you don’t get hype on it, I would eat clean for 3 days and then try it.
Aaron Johnson –
I love Spartan blend for my two or more times a day training schedule. The cordyceps help with my endurance. The Eleuthero really helps my body make thru all my workouts.
I mix my Spartan blend with my Preworkout shake of good protein and carbohydrates.
Chelsea Satterthwaite –
Spartan has helped me immensely!! I have a horrible immune system. I get colds & annoying little sicknesses constantly. I eat healthy & take holistic supplements but this stuff is a level up!! Since I’ve been taking Spartan, even when everyone at my office & gym were sick, I barely felt tired. It’s renewed my immunity & it boosts my energy. I love it combined with Hydrilla. I call the combo my “pre-workout”. I don’t feel jittery or cracked out but it allows me to have a long intense workout where I feel great after and don’t crash. It’s a perfect addition to your routine! Spartan alone will improve your overall health and energy levels. It’s a must do!
