Ginseng Root, Chinese 40% Total Ginsenosides Powdered Extract (Panax ginseng; Ren Shen) 25 kg (55 lbs): Q
Used as a tea, decoction, extract, tincture, food additive and supplement. Chinese Ren Shen, 'root of heaven,' Panax ginseng, Asian ginseng, is native to Manchuria and Korea and is cultivated in China, Korea and Japan. The ginseng plant requires 5-7 years to mature from seed. Ginseng has a sweetly aromatic flavour. Its root has long been regarded by the Chinese as a panacea for illness, though it was usually used by them in a prophylactic (preventive) rather than a curative manner. Many Native American tribes used American ginseng, Panax quinquefolia. Medicinal uses ranged from digestive disorders to sexual problems. The Chinese began to use American ginseng after it was imported during the 1700s. The traditional applications in China are somewhat different from those for Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng), American ginseng being considered a better stomachic. The type and ratio of ginsenosides are somewhat different in American and Asian ginseng, but not radically different. Pharmacologically, ginseng is nonspecific in its effects and is capable of a normalizing action irrespective of the pathological situation. Ginseng's ginsenosides are believed to increase energy, counter the effects of stress, and enhance intellectual and physical performance. Thirteen ginsenosides have been identified in Asian ginseng. Ginsenosides Rgl and Rbl have received the most attention. Other constituents include the panaxans, which help lower blood sugar, and the polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules), which support immune function. Numerous double-blind studies have confirmed Chinese tradition, objectively demonstrating Asian ginseng's ability to lower blood sugar, reduce fatigue and stress, and support the normal function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the hormonal stress system of the body. Ginseng's support of the brain's production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) appears to improve mental performance, learning, and memory and sensory awareness, exactly as Chinese tradition has always maintained. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs, reflecting the opinion of modern scientific herbalism, recommends Ginseng root [Panax ginseng] 'As tonic for invigoration and fortification in times of fatigue and debility, for declining capacity for work and concentration, also during convalescence.' 'Daily dosage: 1 - 2 g of root; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Cut root for teas, powder and galenical preparations for internal use. Duration of Administration: Generally up to 3 months. A repeated course is feasible.' 'Action: In various stress models, e.g., an immobilization test and the coldness test, the resistance of laboratory test animals (rodents) was increased.' Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'In China, both varieties [Asian Panax ginseng & American Panax quinquefolia] are used particularly for dyspepsia, vomiting and nervous di |

Eleuthero Root (Eleutherococcus senticosus; Siberian Ginseng; Ci Wu Jia) Whole: 500 gm (1.17 lb): V
Used as a tea, decoction, extract, capsule or food additive. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Eleuthero root 'As tonic for invigoration and fortification in times of fatigue and debility or declining capacity for work and concentration, also during convalescence. Contraindications: High blood pressure.' 'Daily dosage: 2 - 3 g of root; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Powdered or cut root for teas, as well as aqueous-alcoholic extracts for internal use. Duration of Administration: Generally up to 3 months. A repeated course is feasible.' 'Actions: In various stress models, e.g., immobilization test and coldness test, the endurance of rodents was enhanced. With healthy volunteers, the lymphocyte count, especially that of T-lymphocytes, increased following intake of fluidextracts.' 'Siberian ginseng' is actually not ginseng per se, but has very similar properties and is therefore used in the same way as ginseng. Eleuthero is a proven stress fighter. Taking the herb has been shown to boost the body's capacity to handle stresses ranging from heat exposure to extreme exertion. Eleuthero also has been shown to boost disease resistance and overall energy level. In a remarkable series of Russian studies in the 1960s,100 healthy adults, ages 19 to 72, given Eleuthero, increased their ability to perform physical labor, withstand motion sickness, and work with speed and precision despite being surrounded by noise. They could also proofread documents more accurately than those who had not been given Eleuthero, and more readily adapted heat, high altitudes, and low-oxygen environments. Eleuthero's eleutherosides and complex polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules) function as an adaptogen. Eleuthero optimizes the adrenal secretion of stress-fighting hormones. Eleuthero has been shown to enhance mental acuity and physical endurance without the letdown that comes with caffeinated products. There is little doubt that Eleuthero can heighten mental alertness and improve concentration. It may be helpful in the early stages of Alzheimer's. Eleuthero has been shown to improve the muscular use of oxygen, enabling longer aerobic exercise and quicker recovery. It can relieve chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Chinese herbal tradition has Eleuthero as a defense against colds and flu. A recent Russian study of 13,000 auto workers given Eleuthero one winter showed that participants developed 40% fewer respiratory tract infections than they had in previous winters. Eleuthero also helps the liver detoxify harmful toxins. Animal studies have shown hepatoprotective action against chemotherapeutic agents, ethanol, sodium barbital, and tetanus toxoid. Russia studies have confirmed that the use of eleuthero for people undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer alleviates side effects and helps bone marrow recover more quickly. |

Tribulus Fruit (Tribulus terrestris; Bai Ji Li) 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V
Tribulus terrestris has traditionally been used as a mood-enhancing smoke, tea (infusion) or decoction (thick, boiled tea). The plant grows in many tropical and moderate areas of the world. Many different cultures have used it for a number of purposes. For example, the Greeks used Tribulus terrestris as a diuretic and a mood-enhancer. Indians used it as a diuretic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory. The Chinese used it for a variety of liver, kidney, and cardiovascular diseases. The people of Bulgaria used Tribulus terrestris as a sex enhancer and to treat infertility. Recently, eastern European athletes and strength champions have used it as well. Tribulus terrestris is a testosterone enhancer. Studies show that it works very well when stacked with DHEA and androstenedione. It increased testosterone levels in a different way, however, than either DHEA or andro do. Instead of being a testosterone precursor, it leads to the production of the luteinizing hormone (LH). When LH levels are increased, the natural production of testosterone also increases. LH is a hormone that also deals with sex drive. Now one can understand why it has been used to increase fertility and help with impotence. Laboratory animal studies found that Tribulus terrestris increased sperm count as well as motility levels after taking it for 30 days. This is a good supplement for men and women to increase their sex drive. Most experts recommend experimenting with 750 to 1,250 mg per day, divided among meals. As for side effects, about one in ten people have associated some gastrointestinal upset with taking Tribulus terrestris. Taking food with it can minimize these effects if you are that one in ten. Related to syrian rue and seeds reported to contain similar alkaloids, ie; beta-carboline alkaloids such as harmaline, though there is little direct phytochemical studies of Australian species. Used in Ayurveda, sometimes in combination with Mucuna or cowhage, plant and dried spiny fruit are esteemed as cooloing, demulcent, diuretic, tonic and aphrodisiac. http://www.ironmagazine.com/tribulus1.htm: The Chinese have used Tribulus for over 400 years. In the West we became aware of Tribulus in 1982 following research by the Chemical Pharmaceutical institute in Sofia, Bulgaria. Tribulus Terrestris is an herb commonly known as 'Puncture Vine' or Caltrop fruit, grown in various parts of the world and used medicinally for it virilizing effects. Studies have shown a better than 50% increase in testosterone levels when taking the Tribulus herb. When scientists began studying the remarkable curative power of Tribulus, they discovered that it significantly elevates the level of several hormones: Testosterone; Luteinizing Hormone (LH is a gonad stimulating hormone produced by the pituitary gland), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Estradiol. A significant benefit of Tribulus is the stimulation of hormone production to a balanced level, without over stimulati |

Ginseng Root American (Panax quinquefolium; Xi Yang Shen) 5% Powder 1/2 lb bottle: HE
This herb is BULK DISCOUNTED in our 10 lb & 25 lb bulk packs. To find the bulk packs, just copy and paste the herb name into our Search, or refer to our Bulk By The Kilo & Ton category. We use only 100% Gluten-free, Vegetable Cellulose ''00'' capsules for all of our encapsulated products. We offer both bulk powder and capsules. Obviously our bulk bottles are bulk powder, not capsules, but the capsule weight is included to give you a way of judging the recommended dosage. American Ginseng - Standardized Extract -- Approximately 600 mg. each capsule. 1/2 teaspoon of powder is about equal to one capsule. Powder can be consumed by sprinkling it over your food or mixing it with a syrup such as maple or chocolate. You could also mix it with orange juice. The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Five Fingers, Man's Health, Red Berry Revitalize your body! Increase mental efficiency and boost stamina and energy with American Ginseng. An excellent way to improve the body's resistance to infection and damaging environmental influences, the herb is also used by many athletes for overall body strengthening and endurance. It is useful for bronchitis, circulatory problems, diabetes and infertility. Recent studies have shown it to be helpful in lowering cholesterol and possibly even inhibiting the growth of malignant growths. American Ginseng has long been used as an aphrodisiac and is especially helpful to weak or elderly people. History: American Ginseng is a smaller version of its more famous Asian (Korean/Chinese) cousin but has many of the same benefits. It is a slow-growing perennial plant with a large fleshy root (the part used in herbal medicine) and a stem that grows to two feet. It is found from Maine to Georgia and from Oklahoma to Minnesota, and it is endangered in much of this area. Gar-ent-oguen is its Iroquois name, meaning Man Plant, and Native Americans made a tea to alleviate nausea and vomiting long before European settlers arrived in North America. Some tribes thought it to be a love potion, and modern researchers believe that it increases interest in sex by altering the action of the neurotransmitter, dopamine, in the brain. American colonists began using Ginseng in the early 1700s, and by 1709 through 1714, French Jesuit missionaries, Pere Jartoux and Pere Lafitau, were responsible for noting the value of the wild American Ginseng, collecting samples in southern Canada and creating a huge market in China. Tons of American Ginseng were exported to Asia, where it was prized by Chinese herbalists, because it is sweeter than the Korean Panax ginseng and considered more ''yin'' (cooler) in nature. Asians particularly favor the Ginseng grown in Wisconsin. Some of the constituents in American Ginseng include ginsenosides, kaempferol, beta-sitosterol, campesterols, cinnamic-, ferulic-, fumaric-, oleanolic-, panaxic- and vanillic-acids, as well as sa |

Powder can be consumed by sprinkling it over your food or mixing it with a syrup such as maple or chocolate. You could also mix it with orange juice. The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Golden Trumpet, Catagua, Catigua, Tatuaba, Caramuru Catuaba has been primarily used for centuries as an aphrodisiac and libido stimulant for both males and females, as well as a tonic to fortify the nervous system. It is said to calm the nerves, relieve insomnia, ease anxiety, restlessness, depression and emotional stress. The herb is also used to increase blood circulation to the brain (helping poor memory), to the reproductive organs (helping the libido) and to the heart (helping cardiac health). History: Catuaba is a vigorous-growing, small tree that is native to the forests of northern Brazil and has been used medicinally for thousands of years as an overall body tonic and an aphrodisiac. The tree grows to about twelve feet in height and produces yellow and orange flowers and small, dark yellow, inedible fruit. The historic traditional use of this herbal tonic is legendary, and many say it is the most famous of all the Brazilian aphrodisiac plants. The Tupi Indians in Brazil first discovered the aphrodisiac qualities of the plant centuries ago, and many of the other local peoples in Brazil have also been using it for generations. There is even a saying in Brazil that ''Until a father reaches sixty, the son is his; after that, the son is Catuaba's.'' It has been exported to the United States and Canada, where herbalists include it in their treatments for a variety of ailments. There has been much confusion surrounding the actual species of tree that is sold around the world as Catuaba. The Catuaba tree (Erythroxylum catuaba) belongs to the Erythroxylaceae family, which contains several species that are sources of cocaine. This Catuaba, however, contains none of the active cocaine alkaloids. There are many other species sold as Catuaba, but two species of the Erythroxylaceae family: small Catuaba (Erythroxylum catuaba) and big Catuaba (Trichilia catigua) are the preferred Brazilian herbal medicinal species with the longest documented history of use as ''big and little'' Catuaba. Both types are used interchangeably in Brazilian herbal medicine systems for the same con |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Maiden Hair, Fossil Tree Ginkgo Biloba is the world's most used treatment for memory loss and degenerative diseases of the brain and central nervous system. Because Ginkgo increases the circulation of blood and oxygen to all parts of the body, the herb is an effective overall tonic that aids in the treatment of a variety of conditions, ranging from impotence to ringing in the ears. History: Ginkgo Biloba is sometimes called a living fossil and the only surviving member of the Ginkgo family. It is one of the oldest living tree species, a deciduous conifer, dating back over three-hundred million years. Individual trees may live for one thousand years, as they are resistant to viruses, fungi, insects, pollution and even radiation, and they may reach 122 feet in height. Native to China, it has been included in Chinese herbal medicine's repertoire for almost five thousand years, where it was used for respiratory tract ailments and for memory loss in older adults. The trees were introduced to Europe in 1730 and the United States in 1784 as ornamentals, but since the 1980s, Western medical interest in the plant has grown dramatically since its potent actions on the cardiovascular system were identified. Different parts of the plant have different properties with different medical applications. Most commercial growth of Ginkgo is centered in plantations in South Carolina, France and China. Some of Ginkgo's constituents include amino acids, tannins, quercetin, beta-carotene, flavone glycosides, bioflavones, sitosterol, lactones, anthocyanin, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, B-vitamins and vitamins A and C. Ginkgo is now among the leading prescription medicines in both Germany and France. Beneficial Uses: Ginkgo Biloba improves blood and oxygen flow to the brain and has been most effective in treating senility, dementia, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness and inability to concentrate and ADD (attention deficit disorder) in adults. Ginkgo's most exciting application may be in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease by helping to speed the bl |

Powder can be consumed by sprinkling it over your food or mixing it with a syrup such as maple or chocolate. You could also mix it with orange juice. The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Brazilian Cocoa, Paullinia, Uabano, Guarana Bread, Paullinia Sorbilis, Uaranzeiro, Brazilian Chocolate Guarana is another gift from the Amazon rainforest that is quickly becoming popular in North America as a wonderful way to improve mental sharpness, reduce fatigue, increase stamina and endurance, and it may even lift depressed spirits. It is considered a favorite national diet drink in Brazil. History: Guarana is a shrubby, climbing vine that is native to South America, with compound leaves, yellow-flowered panicles, and pear-shaped fruit, filled with seeds like a small horse chestnut. It thrives in moist, humus-rich soil in the partial shade of the rainforest in a minimum of sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit. Its botanical genus, Paullinia, is derived from the name, Paullini, a European medical botanist, who died in 1712, but it was actually thought to be discovered by the ancient Incas, who used it centuries before the Europeans set foot in the New World, as an energy and stamina booster. The Maues and Murdurow Indians have been known to travel through jungles and across mountains for miles at a steady pace with a stick of Guarana as their only food. Guarana is made by the Guaranis, a tribe of South American Indians, in a long and complicated process. The seeds are shelled, washed, roasted, and pounded into a fine powder that is mixed with water to make dough. It is then rolled and sun-dried (or over a slow fire) until it hardens and is cut into eight-inch cylindrical pieces. The result is a bitter, chocolate-flavored substance (without chocolate's oiliness) that is used in refreshing teas or as a tasty, coffee-like drink that is said to increase energy and mental acuity, combat fatigue and promote endurance and stamina. Supposedly, Guarana was used by Japanese soldiers during World War II for maintaining stamina, alertness and courage and is also said to be the richest source of caffeine worldwide that is well-known for its stimulating effects, due to that high caffeine content. Brazilian miners drink it constantly, claiming that it prevents many diseases and is refresh |

History: Guarana is a shrubby, climbing vine that is native to South America, with compound leaves, yellow-flowered panicles, and pear-shaped fruit, filled with seeds like a small horse chestnut. It thrives in moist, humus-rich soil in the partial shade of the rainforest in a minimum of sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit. Its botanical genus, Paullinia, is derived from the name, Paullini, a European medical botanist, who died in 1712, but it was actually thought to be discovered by the ancient Incas, who used it centuries before the Europeans set foot in the New World, as an energy and stamina booster. The Maues and Murdurow Indians have been known to travel through jungles and across mountains for miles at a steady pace with a stick of Guarana as their only food. Guarana is made by the Guaranis, a tribe of South American Indians, in a long and complicated process. The seeds are shelled, washed, roasted, and pounded into a fine powder that is mixed with water to make dough. It is then rolled and sun-dried (or over a slow fire) until it hardens and is cut into eight-inch cylindrical pieces. The result is a bitter, chocolate-flavored substance (without chocolate's oiliness) that is used in refreshing teas or as a tasty, coffee-like drink that is said to increase energy and mental acuity, combat fatigue and promote endurance and stamina. Supposedly, Guarana was used by Japanese soldiers during World War II for maintaining stamina, alertness and courage and is also said to be the richest source of caffeine worldwide that is well-known for its stimulating effects, due to that high caffeine content. Brazilian miners drink it constantly, claiming that it prevents many diseases and is refresh |

Let Kava Kava soothe your mind and body naturally. This popular Polynesian herb is famous for calming the nerves, easing tense muscles and enhancing mental acuity, memory and sensory perception. History: Kava Kava is an evergreen shrub that is native to the Polynesian Islands of the South Pacific and is commonly cultivated in Australia and Hawaii. It is an erect shrub that grows in height from ten to twenty feet with tender fleshy stems, heart-shaped leaves and flowers with a lilac aroma. The dried root is an aromatic, bitter and pungent warming herb that is used in herbal medicine. South Pacific Islanders have used Kava Kava for over three thousand years as an important medicinal herb to kill pain (the root actually leaves the mouth feeling slightly numbed when chewed) and induce a state of relaxation and euphoria. The roots were also made into a sacred drink called Sakau, which marked important social and ceremonial rites, particularly meetings involving conflicts or war councils, since the herb is known to promote a state of goodwill and relaxation among parties trying to reconcile their differences. Kava Kava was first discovered for Western use by the explorer, Captain James Cook, who gave the plant its botanical name, which translates to ''intoxicating pepper.'' The name Kava carries the meanings of ''sour,'' ''bitter'' or ''sharp,'' which may be some indication of the taste of the beverage. Some of Kava Kava's chemical constituents include cinnamic acid and kavalactones/alphapyrones (including kawain, dihydrokawain, methysticin, dihydromethysticin and yangonin). Beneficial Uses: Kava Kava is a mild, but effective, sedative that induces physical and mental relaxation and helps to reduce anxiety without dulling the mind. As a matter of fact, although it is used mostly for its sedative properties, it does not seem to impair the user's mental clarity and has been known to improve memory and sensory perception. |

Other common names: Peruvian Ginseng, Maka, Mace, Maca-Maca, Maino, Chichira, Ayuk, Pepperweed, High Andean Ginseng, Royal Maca Hailed as Peruvian Ginseng, Maca Root has been used for centuries to increase vitality, promote libido, fertility and sexual performance and stamina. It is also used to relieve the symptoms of menopause and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), as well as enhance energy and strength during athletic performance. Like other cruciferous members of the cabbage family, Maca Root is credited with possessing immuno-stimulating qualities that help to build the body's defenses against invasive infection and serious disease. History: Maca is a biennial or perennial plant that is native to the very high parts of the Andes Mountains, at altitudes from eight thousand to almost fifteen thousand feet, in an inhospitable region of intense sunlight, violent winds and below-freezing temperatures. Maca Root is a low-growing, mat-like stem system that produces inconspicuous, scalloped leaves and off-white flowers. Despite the poor, rocky soil and extreme temperatures, the large, radish-like root vegetable has managed to flourish over the centuries. The root is usually off-white to yellow in color (although purple and black exist), and the smaller, less fibrous type is preferred and common in Peruvian markets as a highly nutritious vegetable. It is also highly valued in herbal medicine. Maca Root was domesticated during the pre-Inca, Arcaicia Period sometime around 3800 B.C., with primitive cultivars of Maca being found in archaeological sites dating back to 1600 B.C. It continued to be cultivated by the Incas centuries ago as a valuable nutritious dietary staple and medicinal commodity. The indigenous people used it for centuries to enhance fertility in humans and animals. Soon after the Spanish conquest in South America, the Spaniards found that their livestock was reproducing poorly in the highlands, and the local tribes recommended Maca. So remarkable were the results that the Spanish chroniclers wrote in-depth reports, saying that Maca improved the reproductive health of their hor |

Other common names: Muirapuama, Marapauma, Muira Puama, Muira Pauma, Marapuama, Marapama, Muiratam, Potent Wood Muirapauma is said to be a powerful aphrodiasic for both men and women that has been used to correct erectile dysfunction and impotence in men and frigidity in women and is also believed to enhance arousal and prolong the sexual experience. Muirapauma is also used to relieve central nervous system disorders, digestive disturbances and menstrual difficulties. History: Muirapauma, sometimes spelled Marapauma or Muirapuama, is a South American small tree (or bush, growing to only five feet in height) that is native to the Amazon rain forests and predominantly the northern and northeastern parts of Brazil. It produces white flowers with a jasmine-like fragrance that is at once aromatic and pungent. Muirapauma is one of the most active botanicals with a long history of traditional use as an energy tonic, general health improver and remedy for impotence and sexual insufficiency. Amazon natives of the Rio Negro area have used it for centuries as an aphrodisiac for both men and women, and many different native populations have used it in a tea, which is slightly bitter (but can be sweetened) to enhance virility and impotence. It is alleged to be effective against a multitude of symptoms. In Notas Sobre Plantas Brasileires (1930), M. Penna claimed that Muirapauma treated disorders of the nervous system, impotence, as well as gastronintestinal and circulatory asthenia; and the herb has been in the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia since the 1950s. In 1993, D. Schwontkowski wrote in his Herbs of the Amazon that Muirapauma not only treated impotence, but also frigidity, menstrual cramps and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). One study at the UCLA School of Medicine determined that the roots of this Amazonian tree may improve both erectile function and sexual desire, and two French studies claimed that it improved libido and sexual function. Muirapauma was brought back to Europe by explorers who noted its indigenous uses and aphrodisiac qualities, and it became part of herbal medicine in England, where |
