Go Higher – Feel Better.

Formulated by Dr. Roanne Rouse Houck, N.D, Acli-Mate was born out of her desire to provide relief to the many travelers who suffer from Altitude Sickness. Acli-Mate’s unique blend of ingredients addresses the symptoms of altitude sickness:

  • Electrolytes to support hydration, as the alpine environment is frequently much dryer than other climates, and because the added stress that altitude places on the human body quickly causes dehydration.

  • Vitamins B6 and B12 to assist with energy and combat headaches.  Persons experiencing altitude sickness often experience headaches and a lack of energy.

  • Sodium, potassium and magnesium to minimize muscle cramps.

  • Adaptogenic Herbs – Ginko Biloba, Schizandara and Rhodiola help the body adapt to multiple stressors, including those cause by altitude.

 
 

I was hitting dead ends in resolving my health challenges and was even starting to wonder if the vitality I remembered was even real when I started working with Roanne. As an ND, she helped me understand my larger health picture and empowered me with critical information to return to the vitality I recalled.

In my experience, the knowledge and passion she brings forward with genuine care is the best health investment I have ever made. And it continues to benefit me daily! Thank yo,u Roanne!!
