The combination of herbs in Thyroid Complex of Bladderwrack, Bacopa and Ashwaganda contains many compounds including trace minerals (including iodine), polyphenols, steroidal compounds, triterpenoid saponins, alkaloids and flavonoids.

How Thyroid Complex keeps you healthy:

• Supports healthy thyroid function important for normal energy production
  Bladderwrack contains iodine, and so it may be a suitable source of dietary iodine. Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones and the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. The body cannot store iodine, so it must be taken regularly either in food such as fish or as a dietary supplement to support thyroid hormone production. The thyroid gland removes Iodine from the blood and attaches it to certain proteins to form the thyroid hormones (known as T3 and T4). Thyroid hormones can enter body cells directly causing an increase in the metabolic rate. A normal thyroid gland and healthy levels of thyroid hormones help the body to have a healthy weight, healthy energy levels and help to maintain normal blood pressure within a normal range. Too little of these thyroid hormones could change these body functions.

Echinacea Premium combines the roots of the Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea purpurea to enlist properties unique to each. The blending of these two plant species ensures that the specific caffeic acid and the lipophilic components are present in appropriate quantities. This product contains a total of 4.1 mg of alkylamides per tablet to ensure optimal strength and quality.

Why Echinacea is very important?

Native Americans used Echinacea to support the immune system and as a tonic. Echinacea is one of the most popular herbs in the United States but the quality of available products is quite variable. Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea purpurea are considered to be the most valuable and effective species. In the late 19th-Century natural clinicians in the United States noted that when chewed the root, if of good quality, imparts a persistent tingling sensation. We now know that this tingling sensation is caused by the presence of the plant constituents called alkylamides.

Research carried out by international groups strongly suggests that:

• These alkylamides are very important for the immune effects of Echinacea.
• They are absorbed into the bloodstream
• The two different types of alkylamides in each Echinacea species are important

How Echinacea Premium keeps you healthy:

• Echinacea assists the body's immune response.
  Top quality Echinacea root assists the body's immune response in a number of ways. One of the most important is the nonspecific immune response; particularly white blood cells helping with phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is a process involving certain white blood cells that engulf and digest foreign particles or cells that invade the body. The response is nonspecific because the body launches this broad attack against particles of all kinds. It is not specific to just one particle. A practical effect is that top quality Echinacea root helps the immune response following stress or sudden changes in weather.
• Also, Echinacea affects the spleen that contributes to a healthy immune system and a healthy body.
  Echinacea has also been traditionally used to support the lymphatic system. Lymph fluid usually often contains waste products, and is filtered by the spleen and lymph nodes. The lymphatic system works closely with the immune system. Echinacea was also used by natural clinicians to help the body in the cleansing and renewal process at the tissue level. Healthy tissues such as skin and lymph contribute to a healthy body.

So, Echinacea:

• enhances immune system function
• supports and promote normal interferon production
• supports and promote healthy white blood cells
• supports healthy immune response following stress, sudden changes in weather or temperature
• encourages healthy upper respiratory tissue
• supports and maintains healthy throat tissue
• supports healthy lymphatic system function
• stimulates the body's normal tissue support and renewal function

How Herbal Throat Spray Phytosynergist keeps you healthy:

• It promotes healthy throat tissue and soothes the throat.
  When salivary flow decreases the mouth feels dry. Stimulation of salivary flow may help soothe the throat. Echinaceu ongustifolia root has been used traditionally to promote healthy throat tissue. Native Americans also chewed the root of Echinocea ongustifolic to stimulate the flow of saliva! In the late 19th Century, natural clinicians in the United States noted that "when chewed the root, if of good quality, imparts a persistent tingling sensation. We now know that this tingling sensation is caused by the presence of the plant constituents called alkylamides. A small amount of Echinacea sprayed to the back of the throat would provide a mild tingling with a slight saliva flow to assist the normal functioning of the throat tissue.
  
  Clove Bud essential oil has been widely used in dentistry for its soothing properties.
  Due to the demulcent action, Marshmallow Root is used traditionally to soothe the throat. It soothes and provides a protective layer on the membranes it comes into contact with.

Euphrasia Complex maintains healthy and normal mucus in nasal passages, normal respiratory tract function. Euphrasia Complex is a unique combination of Eyebright herb, Golden Seal root, Golden Rod herb, Echinacea root and Cayenne fruit formulated for sinus support.

What is mucous?

Mucous membranes in the nasal passages are located on the lining of body cavities including the respiratory tract. They are designed to protect delicate body tissues that have some exposure to the outside world.

Inside your nose is a series of structures called turbinates. When you breathe, the air is forced over the turbinates (their shape creates turbulence in the breathed air). Each turbinate is covered with a mucous membrane, containing a rich blood supply and having the following functions:

• trapping dust and other particles
• warming and humidifying the air

The nasal passages act as an air conditioner and help ensure ongoing healthy resistance in these and the lower respiratory tissues. Closely related to the nose are the sinuses. They are hollow chambers in some of the bones of the face that connect with the nasal cavity. The sinuses are also lined with mucous membranes and help to humidify the inhaled air.

The sinuses have another important function: they cause a unique resonance in your voice as the sound waves bounce in and out!

How Euphrasia Complex keeps you healthy:

• Maintains healthy and normal mucus secretion in nasal passages
  Eyebright, Golden Seal and Golden Rod have been used traditionally to support and maintain healthy mucous secretion in the nasal passages. Golden Seal also improves the tone, vigor and function of these mucous membranes. Due to its pungent, hot and spicy nature, Cayenne is thought to assist the nasal passages by promoting healthy blood flow in the mucosal tissues. Cayenne became an important herb for the natural clinicians in the late 19th Century United States because of its ability to bring 'vital heat' to the body. By maintaining healthy nasal passages these herbs also support free and clear breathing.
• Supports healthy response to occasional seasonal stresses
  Eyebright, Golden Seal and Golden Rod have been used traditionally to support a healthy response in the nasal passages when challenged by occasional, seasonal stresses. The root of Echinacea purpurea was used by the Native Americans to enhance immune system function A placebo-controlled trial found that Echinacea purpurea root assists the body's immune response by helping with normal phagocytosis! This is a process involving certain white blood cells that engulf and digest foreign particles or cells that might challenge the body. A practical effect is that top quality Echinacea root helps the immune response following stress or sudden changes in weather.

Short Description

Maintains healthy mucus in nasal passages and normal respiratory tract function. Supports healthy response to seasonal stresses.

Broncafect supports the body’s normal cough reflex and maintains healthy mucosal tissue and encourages a healthy environment to help maintain normal respiratory flora. It contains a combination of the herbs Licorice, Pleurisy root, Echinacea, White Horehound, Ginger and Thyme.

About Cough.

The respiratory tract is kept moist by a layer of mucus that coats the entire surface. It needs to be kept moist, particularly lower in the tract, to allow the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Mucus is produced by special cells in the mucous membranes. The mucus also traps small particles from the inhaled air, keeping them from reaching further into the lungs. The mucus itself is removed from the passages by the movement of the cilia (hair-like structures on the cells lining the airways), towards the throat. (The mucus and the entrapped particles are either swallowed or coughed to the exterior.) This is a normal, healthy and self-cleansing process. Coughing is a normal protective reflex.

How Broncafect keeps you healthy:

• Supports the body's natural ability to break up respiratory secretions, encourages healthy removal of mucus from the respiratory tract. Pleurisy Root, White Horehound, Licorice and Ginger have all been used traditionally to support healthy bronchial function, thereby helping the body to expel mucus and foreign particles from the bronchial tubes more easily. White Horehound in particular, may do this by helping to soften and break up the mucus.


• Supports the body's normal cough reflex. The pungent, warming nature of Ginger and essential oil of Thyme support the normal cough reflex, providing comfort during cold weather and seasonal changes. Ginger is thought to assist in this way by promoting blood circulation, thereby promoting healthy blood flow in the rnucosal tissues of the lung. Pleurisy Root is often traditionally combined with Ginger for this purpose, and these herbs may also assist the body in maintaining normal body temperature. Due to their action on bronchial function, Pleurisy Root, White Horehound, Licorice and Ginger would also support the body's normal cough reflex, particularly Licorice with documented use dating back centuries! Native Americans used Pleurisy Root, White Horehound and Echinacea root in this way.


• Assists the body's immune response. The root of Echinacea purpurea was used by the Native Americans to enhance immune system function. A placebo-controlled trial found that Echinacea purpurea root assists the body's immune response by helping with normal phagocytosis (this involves certain white blood cells that engulf and digest foreign particles).

So, Broncafect can help to:

• support healthy respiratory tract function
• maintain healthy mucosal tissue
• support normal mucus flow
• support the body's natural ability to break up respiratory secretions
• support the body's normal cough reflex

Cramplex contains a combination of the following herbs: Cramp Bark, Corydalis, Ginger, Raspberry Leaf and Wild Yam.

About smooth muscle

There are three types of muscle tissue. One type is skeletal muscle, which is responsible for the movement of the skeleton and organs such as the eye and tongue. Because it may be controlled voluntarily, it is referred to as voluntary muscles. Another type is smooth muscle, which forms the muscular component of tubular (hollow) organs such as in the gastrointestinal tract, the uterus, the bladder and blood vessels. Because this type of muscle is under control of hormones and the autonomic nervous system, it is referred to as involuntary muscle. Contraction (spasm) that is sustained in any kind of muscle is known as cramping

Normal menstruation

Menstruation is the monthly shedding at the lining of a woman's uterus. The stages of the menstrual cycle are triggered by the rise and fall of hormones. The pituitary gland in the brain and the ovaries in the female reproductive tract manufacture and release hormones at certain times during the menstrual cycle. These hormones cause the organs of the reproductive tract to respond. The uterus consists of three layers of tissue. The middle layer forms the bulk of the uterine wall and consists of smooth muscle fibers. The inner layer is a mucous membrane that contains many glands, and it is part of this layer that is shed each month. Prostaglandins are potent substances produced by most cells and have a wide variety of effects on the body. They mimic hormones. Menstruation is just one body process in which they participate.

Some of the features of normal menstruation include:

• a healthy balance of prostaglandins, which leads for example, to normal contraction of the smooth muscle layer of the uterus and normal blood flow to the uterus
• a healthy balance of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, which means there is less susceptibility to spasms caused by the prostaglandins. Cramps can occur as a consequence of normal menstruation also. a healthy balance of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, which means there is less susceptibility to spasms caused by the prostaglandins. Cramps can occur as a consequence of normal menstruation also.

How Cramptex keeps you healthy:

  In addition to the uterus, Cramp Bark and Wild Yam have been used traditionally to ease occasional spasms in the smooth muscle of other organs such as the lower intestinal tract and bladder. Because the prostate consists of glandular tissue and supporting stoma (dense tibro-elastic connective tissue containing smooth muscle fibers) these herbs may also support healthy function in the prostate.

So, Cramplex can help:

• provide antispasmodic activity to ease occasional spasms of smooth muscle including those associated with the menstrual cycle
• provide antispasmodic activity to ease occasional spasms of smooth muscle including those associated with the bowel/lower intestinal tract
• provide antispasmodic activity to ease occasional spasms of smooth muscle including those associated with the male genitourinary tract
• provide relief from discomfort associated with menstruation
• support healthy bowel function
• provide temporary relief of bowel spasm and constipation
• promote a natural, healthy balance within the female endocrine system
• support female reproductive system health

Wormwood Complex of herbs is the strongest way to get rid of parasites in the GI tract. Wormwood Complex contains the following herbs: Wormwood, Black Walnut hulls, Stemona root and Clove Bud essential oil. This combination of herbs and essential oil contains many phytochemicals including lactones, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic acids.

How Name keeps you healthy:

Not all bacteria are bad, in fact some bacteria are necessary for our survival and live in our intestine. The human gastrointestinal tract (mainly the lower end known as the colon or large bowel) is the natural habitat for a large and diverse population of microorganisms (called 'flora'), mainly bacteria. The intestine of an adult contains up to 500 different species of bacteria. Scientists even think there may also be some species that have not yet been identified. In normal healthy circumstances the relationship is mutually beneficial for both partners - bacteria and host (you).

Major functions of the intestinal flora include:

• metabolic activities that result in the release of absorbable nutrients and substances that can be used for energy
• protection of the host against invasion by alien flora

A healthy lower gastrointestinal tract contributes to a healthy intestinal environment and helps maintain proper gastrointestinal flora.

• Cleanses the lower gastrointestinal tract
  In Western civilization, Wormwood has been known since ancient times to cleanse the lower gastrointestinal tract (especially the large intestine). References to this plant appear in the writings of the ancient Egyptians, in early Syrian texts and in the Bible, Early European texts refer to it for this purpose and as a tonic. Wormwood was published in an official list of therapeutic plants in Canada in 1868, and in the United States in 1830. Wormwood is now used traditionally around the world Stemona root and the green hull of Black Walnut fruit are used traditionally to help cleanse the lower gastrointestinal tract.


• Supports healthy bowel function
  Clove Bud essential oil has been used traditionally to support healthy bowel function. It may do this by helping produce regular peristaltic action. Peristalsis is the process by which the contents of the gastrointestinal tract are pushed along (propelled). The muscular layers of the gastrointestinal tract do this by producing alternating contractions. By making peristalsis more regular Clove Bud essential oil helps cleanse the bowel. The normal propulsive action also helps to maintain proper intestinal flora. The intestinal flora also breaks down undigested matter in the feces, which produces gases. This can contribute to flatulence. Clove Bud essential oil has been used traditionally in this way to support healthy bowel function. Wormwood has been used to support healthy bowel function by promoting efficient gastrointestinal elimination!


• Stimulates digestion
  Wormwood is traditionally used to stimulate digestion and promote the healthy flow of digestive enzymes. The ability of Wormwood to do this also supports healthy bowel function and a healthy intestinal environment.

So, Wormwood Complex can help to:

• support healthy bowel function
• cleanse the gastrointestinal tract
• stimulate digestion
• encourage a healthy intestinal environment to help maintain proper gastrointestinal flora

Short Description

This complex of herbs is the strongest way to get rid of parasites in the GI tract. It contains the following herbs: Wormwood, Black Walnut hulls, Stemona root and Clove Bud essential oil.

Coleus Forte is made from the root of Coleus forskohlin, which contains the forskolin as a major constituent. This product is standardized to contain 18.7 mg of forskolin per tablet to ensure optimal strength and quality.

Why Coleus Forte is very important

Scientists at the Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences, University of Kansas conducted a clinical trial using standardized Coleus extract in overweight men. Over a period of 12 weeks these men took either Coleus extract (providing 50 mg/day of forskolin) or an inactive compound (placebo). At the end of this time those taking Coleus extract lost 4.5 kg (about 10 pounds) in fat mass, but their weight did not change. But those taking placebo gained weight (1.57kg (about 3.5 pounds) and fat mass did not change. All participants consumed their normal diet and they were not physically active.

In Waco, Texas another group of researchers also conducted a clinical trial using a standardized Coleus extract, this time with mildly overweight women. The Coleus extract used contained SO mg/day of forskolin, and was given for 12 weeks in a regimen that did not include diet and exercise. Although both groups of women ate the same amount of food, at the end of the trial those taking Coleus experienced an average weight loss of 0.7 kg (about 1.5 pounds). But the placebo group gained an average of 1 kg (about 2.2 pounds). This suggests that standardized Coleus extract helped the body to maintain healthy weight by tending to prevent weight gain.

Standardized Coleus extract achieves its effect on fat mass because of how forskolin interacts with fat tissue. Forskolin helps the fat cells to release free fatty acids to use as a fuel in the body. Biochemists have known for some time that forskolin is able to directly increase cyclic AMP in cells. Cyclic AMP is a cellular messenger and regulator, so forskolin supports and maintains the health of the body's cells and tissues.

Coleus Forte can help to:

• aid moderate weight loss in conjunction with a balanced, calorie-controlled diet and exercise program
• help the body maintain healthy weight
• help maintain normal blood pressure within a normal range
• support and maintain cellular health
• promote healthy digestion
• maintain normal thyroid function

Short Description

It is made from the root of Coleus forskohlin. It aids with moderate weight loss and helps the body maintain healthy weight.

Cranberry Complex is a unique combination of Cranberry fruit juice concentrate, Crataeva stem bark, Uva Ursi leaf and essential oil of Buchu leaf.

The urinary system consists of:

• two kidneys (act like filters, taking waste out of the blood)
• two ureters (tubes from kidneys to the bladder)
• bladder (like a storage tank designed to hold the urine)
• urethra (tube from bladder to outside the body)

One of the jobs of the urinary system is to remove wastes and excess water. The kidneys do this by making urine. Urine is moved to and stored temporarily in the bladder before being removed from the body. An external sphincter (ring of muscle acting as a valve), which is controlled by the conscious part of the brain, surrounds the urethra.

Much of the urinary system, including the bladder possesses a highly specialized epithelium which is a barrier to urine. (The epithelium is like a lining.) Regular and complete emptying of the bladder, as well as a healthy epithelium is important in maintaining a healthy urinary tract and helps maintain mucosal defense mechanisms.

How Cranberry Complex keeps you healthy:

• Encourages healthy urinary tract tissue and function

In 1995 researchers at the University Of Michigan School Of Public Health reported that regular consumption of Cranberry juice by women was associated with maintaining a healthy urinary tract.

A statistical analysis of the results of randomized, controlled clinical trials was conducted in 2004. It was found that on the basis of the two most rigorous trials, Cranberry preparations support a healthy urinary tract when taken for a period of 12 months The use of Cranberry preparations became popular in the 1920s when American scientists showed that urine became more acidic after eating large amounts of cranberries. It was thought that acidic urine would help keep the urinary tract healthy. However, more recent research indicates that this is not the case. Instead, Cranberry preparations may help the epithelium of the urinary tract stay healthy.

A well-designed clinical trial reported in 2006 that Cranberry juice improved overall quality of life in patients who undergone bladder surgery. The results were highly statistically significant when compared to taking placebo.

Buchu leaf and essential oil were used by the indigenous people of South Africa for hundreds of years. The therapeutic use of Buchu was taken up by the Dutch settlers and it was introduced into the United Kingdom in 1821. Natural clinicians use Buchu and Uva Ursi to support healthy urinary tract tissue and function.

Crataeva has been used in India for centuries to support healthy bladder function. It may do this by acting as a bladder tonic and encouraging normal bladder tone and emptying.

Cranberry Complex helps to:

• encourage healthy urinary tract function
• promote healthy flora in the urinary tract
• support healthy bladder tissue and function
• promote healthy mucosal surfaces in the urinary tract

Short Description

It is a unique combination of Cranberry fruit juice concentrate, Crataeva stem bark, Uva Ursi leaf and essential oil of Buchu leaf. Encourages healthy urinary tract tissue and function.

Rhodiola & Ginseng Complex contains Rhodiola and Korean Ginseng, a combination which contains many compounds.

There are many species of Rhodiola, but it is only Rhodiola rosea that contains the important constituents: the rosavins and salidroside. It is the root of Rhodiola rosea that has been used in Russian traditional medicine. Natural clinicians from China and the West have used Korean Ginseng (Panax ginseng) root for centuries in traditional medicine. Korean Ginseng, referred to here as Ginseng, root contains ginsenosides. The important ones are ginsenoside Rb1 and ginsenoside Rg1.

How Rhodiola & Ginseng Complex keeps you healthy:

• Supports the body during temporary stress, helps the body adapt to the changes of everyday life
  Life exists by maintaining a complex dynamic equilibrium (homeostasis) that is constantly challenged by internal or external adverse forces (stressors). When faced with stress (physical or emotional) the body starts internal adaptive responses. These responses (involving the neuroendocrine and immune systems) take the body to a higher level of resistance to stress.
  
  The stress adaptive system of the body consists of many components. To name a few: the central nervous system (CNS), the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathoadrenal system (SAS). An adaptive response to stress can involve the body activating the responses of these components.
  
  In any stressful situation there are both "switch on" and "switch off" responses. The "switch on" system activates energetic and metabolic resources of the body. The "switch off" system protects cells and the body from overreacting to the "switch on" system"
  
  Herbs such as Rhodiola and Ginseng assist the body's normal adaptation to stress. They may do this by helping the body:


• respond to stressors at a higher level of resistance (so the response is then not so exaggerated)
• fine tune the "switch on" and "switch off' systems.


• Promotes vitality and stamina, maintains general well-being
  Ginseng promotes vitality and stamina and maintains general wellbeing. Ginseng may do this because of the way it supports the body during the stress response. It contains constituents (the ginsenosides) that are structurally related to the corticosteroids. Corticosteroids have key functions in regulating the immune and endocrine systems that are mediated by the HPA axis


• Enhances mental clarity and supports cognitive function
  Rhodiola enhances mental clarity and supports intellectual function. Rhodiola may do this because of the way it supports the body during the stress response. Rhodiola contains phenolic compounds that are structurally related to the catecholamines. Catecholamines have important functions in the sympathoadrenal system. They provide a rapid response mechanism that mainly affects the acute ("switch on") response of the body to stress.

Together these herbs and the substances within them combine to:

• enhance mental clarity and support cognitive function
• promote vitality and stamina
• help maintain proper energy
• support physical endurance
• maintain feelings of general well-being when experiencing temporary stress
• help the body adapt to the changes of everyday life
• support and maintain the body as it ages
• support the body's natural defenses against emotional and environmental stressors

Short Description

Contains Rhodiola and Korean Ginseng. Promotes vitality and stamina, maintains general well-being and helps the body adapt to the changes of everyday life and stress.

Vitanox contains a synergistic blend of herbs which provide strong antioxidant activity.
The herbs Rosemary, Green Tea, Turmeric and Grape Seed provide phenolic diterpenes, polyphenols, essential oils, flavonoids, triterpenoids and oligomeric procyanidins. This product is standardized to contain 83.35 mg of catechins, 70.4 mg of curcuminoids and 42.5 mg of procyanidins in each tablet to ensure optimal strength and quality.

About Antioxidants:

Antioxidants help protect cells from the damaging effects of excessive free radicals. Free radicals are very reactive substances. If the body is unable to fully contain the free radicals they might react with body cells, proteins cholesterol, fatty acids or DNA and cause cellular damage. The body has its own antioxidant system which is made up of enzymes, vitamins minerals and other substances produced in the body or obtained from the diet. The body's need for antioxidants vary. Some conditions expose the body to high levels of free radicals thus increasing the need for antioxidants. This includes exposure to air pollution, industrial chemicals, cigarette smoke, a poor diet or strenuous exercises. Antioxidants are best as complex mixtures.

How Vitanox keeps you healthy:

• Provides antioxidant protection
  Antioxidants are available from the diet especially fruit, vegetables, whole grains nuts, seeds. Other dietary sources of antioxidants include herbs (especially Rosemary), spices (such as Turmeric), Green Tea, red wine and soy beans.
  
  Rosemary is used as an antioxidant in the food industry as a preservative, particularly for meat products. As it may be difficult to obtain enough antioxidants from one's diet, supplements may provide an additional source.
  
  Grape Seed extract containing high concentrations of procyanidins, which are found in red wine, is another good source of antioxidants.


• Promotes vitality by maintaining cellular health
  A small population study investigated the diet of Japanese patients attending a hospital for a diagnostic procedure from 1999 to 2001. Drinking one or more cups per day of Green Tea was found to be associated with healthy heart function in the 60-year-old men. Drinking Green Tea in Japan and China was also found to help keep the stomach and intestine healthy. It has been speculated that the high occurrence of intestinal health in Indians observed in the early 1990s may be at least partly due to the use of Turmeric in cooking.
  
  Dietary flavonoids (including for example, those in Green Tea) have been associated with good health outcomes. In 2004, researchers proposed that these constituents may exert beneficial effects by the way they modify signaling within cells. Such signaling is vital to cellular function, and to ensure healthy cells and tissues.

The natural substances in Vitanox:

• provide strong antioxidant activity
• support healthy circulation and vascular integrity
• maintain healthy connective tissue
• support and maintain cellular health

All the herbs within this tablet have standardized levels of key phytochemicals to ensure optimal strength and quality.

About Aging

As we age, our bodies change in many ways that affect the function of individual cells and organ systems. These changes occur little by little and progress inevitably over time. However, the rate of change is different from person to person and can be influenced by lifestyle. Although change is occurring, your body can remain healthy as you age. In addition to the normal aging process, challenges to health may occur. A strategy for healthy aging would include minimizing the underlying progress of aging and promoting healthy lifestyle practices.

How HerbaVital keeps you healthy:

• Promotes vitality and healthy aging
  A tonic is popularly thought of as something that makes you feel better, stronger or healthier. In the traditional Chinese system tonics such as Korean Ginseng provide support when the function of the body or an organ needs to be supported. The Chinese use it to enhance vitality as part of a healthy aging program.
  
  To the ancient Koreans, Ginseng was the most important ingredient. Korean Ginseng was described as having a life-prolonging effect by the Chinese emperor Shennong who lived over 5000 years ago.
  
  Regular use of Ginkgo (at least 6 months) was associated with good health in women from eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire, who were assessed between 1998 and 2003. In Korea, Korean Ginseng tea is consumed as frequently as coffee. In China, use of Ginseng over a 4-5 year period by 50 year-old women was associated with an improved quality of life and good health.
  
  In Vienna a large group of people aged over 75 years participated in a 5-year study. Use of Ginkgo was found to assist healthy mental aging- A thorough review of 29 randomized clinical trials involving young and elderly volunteers found that standardized Ginkgo extract supports memory, selective attention and mental flexibility.


• Promotes a healthy response to temporary stress
  In the traditional Chinese system, Ginseng quiets the spirit, and strengthens the resoIve. Korean Ginseng is used by natural clinicians to provide a healthy response to stress. Research has confirmed that Korean Ginseng helps the body adapt to stress through regulation of the endocrine and immune systems via the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.


• Supports healthy circulation and healthy immune and liver function
  Support for healthy circulation in older people has been demonstrated in clinical trials for Ginkgo and for Korean Ginseng. in two placebo-controlled trials conducted in Italy, Korean Ginseng significantly improved immune function in volunteers aged from 18 to 60 years. Milk Thistle has been used traditionally to promote a healthy liver. A clinical trial in Iran found the flavanolignans of Milk Thistle to support healthy liver function.

Together these herbs and the substances within them combine to:

• support and maintain the body as it ages
• help the body adapt to the changes of everyday life
• promote vitality and stamina in older adults
• help maintain proper energy as the body ages
• maintain feelings of general well-being when experiencing temporary stress
• support cognitive function and normal memory function
• work as a tonic to benefit the entire body
• support healthy circulation in mature men and women
• maintain and support healthy joints
• support a healthy immune system
• support healthy liver function
• support healthy glucose metabolism
• provide antioxidant activity

Gut Flora Complex contains Oregano essential oil, Anise (Aniseed) essential oil, Andrographis and Phellodendron. This combination of essential oils and herbs contains many compounds including monoterpenes, diterpenoid lactones and alkaloids. Each enteric coated capsule is standardized to contain 10 mg of andrographolide and 36 mg of berberine to ensure optimal strength and quality.

About intestinal flora:

Not all bacteria are bad. In fact, some bacteria are necessary for our survival and live in our intestine. The human gastrointestinal tract (mainly the lower end known as the colon or large bowel) is the natural habitat for a large and diverse population of microorganisms (called "flora"), mainly bacteria.

The intestine of an adult contains up to 500 different species of bacteria. This population is constantly changing. In normal healthy circumstances the relationship is mutually beneficial for both partners: bacteria and host (you!).

A healthy lower gastrointestinal tract contributes to a healthy intestinal environment and helps maintain proper intestinal flora. The intestinal flora naturally contains healthy bacteria and unhealthy bacteria. If there is breakdown in the balance between healthy and unhealthy intestinal bacteria, the health of the individual may suffer.

For example, fermentation taking place in the colon can generate gas. This can contribute to flatulence (or 'wind'). Other uncomfortable symptoms may occur such as bloating. The proper balance of intestinal flora also ensures that the body is not exposed to toxins produced by unhealthy intestinal bacteria. The balance of gastrointestinal flora is affected by diet, stress and intake of prescription drugs.

Major functions of the intestinal flora include:

• activities that result in the release of absorbable nutrients and substances that can be used for energy
• protection of the host against invasion by alien flora
• support of local immune function and systemic immune function via the immune-related tissues of the intestine such as the intestinal lymph tissue

How Gut Flora Keeps You Healthy:

• Cleanses and promotes health in the lower gastrointestinal tract, encourages healthy intestinal environment to help maintain proper intestinal flora.
  Anise and Oregano essential oils have been traditionally ingested to promote health in the intestine. One of the ways these oils do this is to reduce flatulence ('wind'). Oregano essential oil (orally), Pau dArco and Andrographis have been used traditionally to cleanse the lower gastrointestinal tract. Cleansing and promoting health in the lower gastrointestinal tract encourages proper intestinal flora.
  
  The cleansing effect of Oregano oil was demonstrated in an uncontrolled trial involving 14 adults whose stools showed a lack of balance in their intestinal flora, for 6 weeks patients took emulsified oil of Oregano (200 mg, three times per day) with meals. Intestinal health was improved by the end of treatment.


• Supports healthy immune response and promotes vitality
  A healthy immune response also helps the body keep a healthy balance of intestinal flora. Andrographis has been used to support a healthy immune response. Andrographis and Pau d'Arco have a traditional history in many cultures for promoting vitality.
  Together these herbs and essential oils combine to:
  • cleanse and promote health in the lower gastrointestinal tract
  • encourage a healthy intestinal environment to help maintain proper intestinal flora
  • support healthy immune response
  • promote vitality and stamina

Short Description

Contains Oregano and Anise essential oils, Andrographis and Phellodendron and supports a healthy intestinal environment and helps maintain proper intestinal flora.

Gotu Kola Complex is a combination of Gotu Kola, Grape Seed and Ginkgo biloba. These herbs contain different phytochemicals. All the herbs within this tablet have standardized levels of key phytochemicals to ensure optimal strength and quality.

Connective tissue gets its name because of its function: it connects other tissues and body systems. Collagen and elastin are important components of connective tissues. The normal processes of tissue repair are mostly a function of connective tissues.

Another type of tissue is epithelial tissue. The outer layer of skin is epithelial tissue; beneath this is the dermis made of connective tissue. Because blood vessels do not occur in epithelial tissues, the connective tissue layer is essential so the epithelial cells can receive nutrients from the blood vessels in the connective tissue beneath.

How Gotu Kola Complex keeps you healthy:

• Promotes healthy tissues, supports capillary integrity and the body's normal tissue repair process
  The triterpenes of Gotu Kola have been used clinically to support the normal repair process of skin. Gotu Kola has been used traditionally to help maintain healthy tissue fluid levels during the normal repair processes of skin, muscles and cartilage.
  
  Capillaries are very small blood vessels that are in close contact with the surrounding tissues. The fluids that nourish these tissues, the wastes that are excreted, the oxygen, water and food that are absorbed all enter and leave via the capillaries. In mostly uncontrolled clinical trials, standardized Grape Seed extract promoted healthy blood vessel walls and healthy capillaries. This helped prevent leakage of fluid from the capillaries to the surrounding body tissues.
  
  These activities have also been shown clinically for the triterpenes of Gotu Kola. The results from one trial suggest that the triterpenes of Gotu Kola provide benefit by helping maintain normal, healthy connective tissue in the walls of veins. Experiments in test tubes are often conducted to learn more about how herbal extracts work in the body.
  
  These tests suggest that the triterpenes of Gotu Kola support existing collagen and promote the normal synthesis of collagen in the skin and vein walls. These triterpenes also support the epithelial cells in the inner layer of veins. The procyanidins of Grape Seed also support existing collagen and elastin within vein walls.
  
  Gotu Kola is recommended traditionally to support healthy stomach and duodenal tissue. The benefit of this traditional use has also been shown in uncontrolled trials using the triterpenes of Gotu Kola.


• Supports healthy circulation
  In a controlled clinical trial, standardized Ginkgo extract enhanced healthy blood flow in the capillaries of the fingers. Enhanced circulation is an important factor in supporting the healing process in tissues throughout the body. Healthy circulation provides the tissues with oxygen, nutrients and the substances used by the body in the normal repair process.
  Together these herbs and the compounds within them help to:
  • support the body's normal tissue repair process
  • promote normal development of connective and epithelial tissue, particularly during times of increased physical stress, e.g., athletic performance
  • promote healthy blood vessels
  • support stomach and duodenal tissue
  • provide antioxidant activity
  • promote the body's natural tissue drainage process
  • promote healthy skin and connective tissue

Short Description

It is a combination of Gotu Kola, Grape Seed and Ginkgo biloba. Promotes healthy tissues and their repair, mainly during times of increased athletic performance and supports capillary integrity.

Andrographis Complex contains a unique blend of herbs to support normal immune function. Andrographis, Echinacea root and Holy Basil provide a unique range of phytochemicals. The Andrographis component of this tablet is standardized to contain 10 mg of andrographolide per tablet to ensure optimal strength and quality.

Clinical trials suggest that to be effective Andrographis products should contain substantial levels of the important plant constituents: andrographolides.

Holy Basil is considered to be sacred by Hindus. It is commonly planted next to temples, and the water the herb is dipped in is used as sacred water in many temples in India. Good quality Holy Basil leaf contains not less than 0.5% essential oil.

In the late 19th-Century natural clinicians in the United States noted of Echinacea root that when chewed the root, if of good quality, imparts a persistent tingling sensation. We now know that this tingling sensation is caused by the presence of the plant constituents called alkylamides.

How Andrographis Complex keeps you healthy:

• Supports healthy immune function
  Native Americans used Echinacea angustifolia root to support the immune system. We now know that constituents in Echinacea root known as alkylarnides are very important for this activity. They may do this because they are able to interact with certain immune receptors ("switching on" the tissues resulting in a healthy immune response). Andrographis and Holy Basil also support healthy immune function


• Supports healthy respiratory system function
  Andrographis extracts containing a known amount of andrographolides support the healthy functioning of the upper respiratory tract. This includes the throat, sinuses and the lungs.
  
  Andrographis may do this by supporting a healthy immune response, and helping to maintain normal body temperature that is within a normal range.
  
  Echinacea and Holy Basil also support healthy respiratory system function. Holy Basil may do this by supporting a healthy immune response, particularly by enhancing the normal function of polymorphonuclear cells. Polymorphonuclear cells are a type of phagocytic cell.
  
  Phagocytosis is a process involving certain white blood cells that engulf and digest foreign particles or cells that invade the body. It is possible that good quality Echinacea root works in a similar way.


• Promotes healthy liver function
  Andrographis promotes healthy liver function.

This herbal formulation works to:

• enhance immune system function
• support healthy respiratory system function
• support and maintain normal body temperature within a normal range
• support healthy immune response following stress, sudden changes in weather or temperature
• encourage adaptive response to occasional everyday stress
• promote healthy liver function

Short Description

Contains a unique blend of herbs such as Andrographis, Echinacea root and Holy Basil to support normal immune and many body functions.
