FEMAHERB – Female formula 100tabs / 250tabs

Each capsule contains:

Dong Quai Root (Angelica sinensis) (172 mg)
Black Cohosh Root (Actaea racemosa, aka Cimicifuga racemosa) (57 mg)
Blue Cohosh Root (Caulophyllum thalictroide) (57 mg)
Blessed Thistle Herb (Cnicus benedictus) (57 mg)
Cramp Bark (Viburnum opulus) (57 mg)

Characteristics and function:

Designed for women, this formula is used to correct hormonal imbalances such as those occurring at puberty, after pregnancy, menopause, upon the cessation of birth control pill usage or after a hysterectomy. It has also been found to be very useful for alleviating discomfort due to menstrual cramps and reducing edema and depressions associated with the menstrual cycle. It may also strengthen the female organs. Femaherb has also been used for hormonal irregularities in men and is especially effective in the first stages of hormone-related balding.

Dong quai, sometimes considered "female ginseng," has many positive effects on the female system. In Asia, it is commonly used for menstrual irregularities, for menopause, for recuperating after childbirth and has been shown to be very helpful for women coming off hormone replacement therapy. Dong quai is more than its reputation as a "female herb" though. It is quite appropriate for building up the system after being sick, fortifying the blood and enhancing metabolism and oxygen utilization in the liver. Dong quai has also been shown to slow down male pattern baldness, to strengthen the heart, prevent atherosclerosis, prevent lipid deposits, function as an antibacterial agent and work as a calming agent. Black cohosh and blue cohosh help support the nervous and glandular system. Both of these (along with blessed thistle) are emmenagogues used both to buildup and regulate the female reproductive system

Directions:

Two to three capsules, two to three times daily.

Cautions and warnings:

Do not consume dong quai during pregnancy or while breast feeding

ENER-JAZZ - 60 capsules

Each Vcap contains:

Siberian Ginseng Root (Eleutherococcus senticosus) (100 mg)
Astragalus Root (Astragalus sp.) (25 mg)
American Ginseng Root (Panax quinquefolium) (25 mg)
Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) (25 mg)
Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) (200 mg)
Codonopis Root (Codonopsis pilosula, Dang Shen) (25 mg)
Fo-Ti Root (Polygonum multiflorum) (50 mg)

Characteristics and function:

This formula, with Siberian ginseng as the major ingredient, has been used for stress (especially adrenal stress), energy and to "chill" a person out, like a jazz musician would. It has a combination of Asian and Western herbs in a very useful blend.

Siberian ginseng (Eleuthrococcus senticosus) is a great energy herb, enlivening but calming at the same time. It doesn't have some of the over stimulating effects that can be found in Asian ginsengs. This herb is a true adaptogen, helping the system cope with a large range of stressors be they environmental, biological, personal or chemical.

Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is a great tonic, especially for the immune system. American ginseng is similar to Asian ginseng, but is gentler, like Siberian ginseng. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a very good calming mushroom, which also aids in nerve strength, insomnia and the immune system.

Directions:

Two to three capsules, one to two times daily.

Digest - Digestive Enzymes

DI-GEST (Digestive Enzymes)

Each Vcap contains:

Glutamic Acid HCL (100 mg)
Betaine HCL (100 mg)
Calcium Ascorbate (50 mg)
Pancreatin N.F. (360 mg)
Bromelain 1:1 (80 mg)
Papain (75 mg)

Characteristics and function:

Di-Gest is a capsulated formula of digestive enzymes and HCL (hydrochloric acid) that aids in digesting food. The specially prepared capsule ensures the various digestive aids are released in the proper environment; i.e. HCL (hydrochloric acid) in the stomach and pancreatin in the duodenum.

Glutamic acid HCL and betaine HCL are two forms of hydrochloric acid that are properly buffered to aid in increasing stomach acidity for the first stages of protein digestion. Not only is HCL important for protein digestion,it is necessary to stimulate both hormones and digestive enzymes required in other digestive functions further down the digestive tract.

Calcium ascorbate is a salt form of Vitamin C that is also an excellent buffer for HCL in the stomach. Pancreatin NF is a combination of the pancreatin enzymes amylase, lipase and protease, which are prepared to delay release until reaching the duodenum. These digestive enzymes aid in hydrolyzing fats, digesting proteins and converting starch. Bromelain and papain are added for their well known functions of aiding digestion.

Directions:

One to three or more capsules near the beginning of meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

CLEANSAHERB - 100 tablets

Each tablet contains:

Red Clover (Trifolium pretense) (130 mg)
Burdock Root (Arctium lappa) (65 mg)
Echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia) Herb (65 mg)
Mullein Leaf (Verbascum thapsus) (65 mg)
Uva Ursi Leaf (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) (65 mg)
Parsley Leaf (Petroselinum crispum) (65 mg)
Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) (65 mg)

Characteristics and function:

The key actions of this cleansing formula include cleansing the bloodstream, ridding muscle and lymphatic system tissue of toxic waste material and metabolic by-products and delivering these wastes out of the body via the urinary system. It has been recommended by many practitioners as an adjunct to fasting and other cleansing programs.

Red clover is one of the strongest herbal alteratives known and has been used successfully in many cases of cancer, heavy metal toxicity, lymphatic toxicity and mucous congestion. Mullein and marshmallow both work on the lymphatic system, soothing the mucous membranes specifically, while working as a demulcent throughout the whole system. Uva ursi and parsley are diuretics, which aid in collecting and eliminating excess body fluids through the urinary tract. Burdock is an effective alterative, hepatic and tonic. Echinacea is an alterative, diaphoretic and tonic.

Directions:

Two tablets, twice a day with water, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.

Chlorella

GREEN CHLORELLA - 150 tablets

Each tablet contains:

Chlorella (Chlorella Pyrenoidosa) (200 mg)

Characteristics and function:

Chlorella is a single-cell green algae owing its name to its extremely high chlorophyll content. It is rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Of primary interest is chlorella's growth factor (referred to as CGF), an extract from chlorella that has significant antibiotic and immuno-stimulatory effects. While chlorella has excellent nutritional qualities, it is the health-giving properties that arouse scientific interest. One barrier to chlorella's use as food is its tough cell wall, which makes complete digestion difficult. Our chlorella comes from a superior genetic strain that has naturally soft cell walls. It is made highly digestible by a special process where the cell wall is gently cracked using ultrasound. None of the original nutrients are lost and all the original potency remains. These four elements in chlorella are known for their healing qualities: chlorophyll, the cell wall, beta-carotene and CGF. Chlorophyll has been examined for its ability to speed up cell growth and repair, as well as its influence on hemoglobin levels in the blood. Chlorella contains more chlorophyll by weight than any other substance, i.e., it is an excellent source of chlorophyll. The cell wall of chlorella noticeably stimulated the immune system in studies conducted with rodents. Beta-carotene is well known as an antioxidant. The benefits of CGF have been noted in the cases of individuals who are under extreme physical stress or whose immune systems are severely compromised. Chlorella seems to be one of those genuine health tonics that improve overall health by being such a balanced food. High levels of chlorophyll, beta-carotene and other vitamins provide the explanation for chlorella's reputation as nature's little green wonder!

Directions:

Fifteen tablet per day.
