Shiitake Mushroom Powder (Lentinula edodes; Dong Gu Ru Ben) 10 kg (22 lbs): Q
Shiitake (Shitake) mushrooms are a legendary gourmet treat, used for centuries in Asia as both food and remedy. Shiitake recipes are innumerable and delicious. Shiitake is also one of the most thoroughly researched and documented medicinal mushrooms. Not only do they have excellent nutritive value; they also are the source of at least two important components with proven pharmacological effects--LEM (Lentinula edodes mycelium extract) and Lentinin. These two components have demonstrated strong antitumor activity. The initial antitumor research was performed in 1969 by Tetsuro Ikekawa at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, along with colleagues at the National Cancer Center Research Institute in Tokyo. The researchers found that water extracts of shiitake and several other mushrooms collected in the wild produced high rates of tumour inhibition in mice (72 to 92%). Ikekawa later identified a polysaccharide in shiitake called lentinan as having powerful antitumor activity. Part of any positive medicinal effects of shiitake may result from it serving as a dietary supplement, particularly the provision of various amino acids such as isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and valine, as well as vitamins B1, B2, B12 and also mineral salts. Regular intake may prevent rickets, especially in infants, which could be due to a disorder of phosphorus and calcium metabolism caused by vitamin D deficiency. Lentinula edodes is very rich in the provitamin - not present in quantity in vegetables. Ergosterol is converted to vitamin D in presence of sunlight. Vitamin D increases resistance against illnesses and has preventive and curative effects on colds. Lentinula edodes also contains adenine and choline, which may prevent the occurrence of cirrhosis of the liver as well as vascular sclerosis. Tyrosinase contained in Lentinula edodes tends to lower blood pressure. Two other constituents which have been isolated from Lentinula edodes tend to reduce serum cholesterol. Like many medicinal mushrooms, Shiitake acts by enhancing various immune system functions rather than attacking the tumor cells directly. Shiitake is used medically for any and all diseases involving depressed immune function including cancer, AIDS, environmental allergies, yeast infections, and frequent flu and colds. In addition, contains compounds effective in lowering cholesterol and treating high blood pressure. In rare cases, there is an allergic dermatological reaction to Shiitake. http://www.herbmed.org/Herbs/Herb171.htm: Pharmacodynamics: The mycelium-free culture fluid of Lentinus edodes was bacteriostatic against Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus megaterium. The substance responsible for the activity was heat-stable, could be extracted with chloroform and had a molecular weight under 10000. Hatvani 2001 Hemagglutinating activity of culture liquid was substantially higher than mycelium for fou |

Codonopsis Root (Codonopsis pilosula; Dang Shen) Large Whole: 1 lb: V
Codonopsis Dangshen Pin Yin Name: Dang Shen Latin Name: Campanumaea pilosula Other names: bastard ginseng MEDICINAL PART: root THERAPUTIC EFFECTS: stomachic; cardiotonic; builds immunity and raises resistance; lowers blood pressure; raises blood sugar. INDICATIONS: chronic fatigue; hypertension; loss of appetite; indigestion due to hyperacidity; loose bowels; pale complexion; exhaustion after surgery or childbirth body bloating and facial swelling due to edema; immune deficiency; hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). CONTRAINDICATIONS: none INCOMPATIBLES: none Since this herb acts similarly to ginseng, it can be substituted for the latter when ginseng is too costly or in short supply. It is often used instead of ginseng for mild chronic conditions that do not require high-potency herbs. Recent research has also established dang shen as an effective preventive against many forms of heart disease. Since it lends itself well to cooking, it can be used daily in the kitchen as an ingredient in stews, soups, and porridges, or simply boiled in chicken broth, as a general nutrient tonic for the whole family and a specific preventative against heart disease. According to the traditional Chinese view, the reason that this herb is such a reliable energy tonic is because of its affinity for the spleen and lungs, which are the two major organ-energy systems responsible for the extraction of energy from food and air through digestion and respiration. |

Poria Fungus - Red (Poria cocos; Chi Fu Ling) Whole: 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V
This fungus produces underground mycelial ''tubers'' of concentrated tissue, called sclerotia, associated with fir tree roots. In Chinese medicine it is one of the most widely used and highly respected herbs as well as a popular food. The superb yin tonic. It is said that it ''restores and refreshes the body and mind, and when used regularly will prolong life.'' It possesses significant amounts of lecithin, polysaccharides and tetracyclic triterpenes with documented immunostimulant, antitumor, and antiviral properties. Used for forgetfulness and to calm the spirit. Mildly sedative, relaxing to the mind; these anxiety relieving effects are credited with lengthening life as much as anything. Poria also was reported to be popular among Imperial concubines. A typical dose is 6–15 grams, with a neutral taste it mixes well with many foods like soups, warm cereals or smoothies. The mushroom Poria cocos (Polyporaceae) is used in approximately 30% of all Kampo (traditional Japanese herbal medicine) formulas. It consists of several pharmacologically active ingredients, including the vitamin D precursor ergosterol and the triterpene pachymic acid. In Kampo, P. cocos is known as bukuryo and is only used in combination with other herbs. To date, little research has been done on this mushroom in isolation. However, extracts have demonstrated the inhibition of tumor promotion, inflammation, induction, and red cell lysis by reactive oxygen species. In clinical use, poria is part of the multi-herb formulas used for enhancing immunocompetence; in treating suidoku (traditional Kampo medicine diagnosis, which roughly translates into ''water overload'') and various women's health issues, and has many more indications. Currently, poria is part of a United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved trial of a non-estrogenic multi-herb formula for the management of menopausal hot flashes. In Japan, 148 Kampo formulas are prescribed by physicians on a regular basis. These are pharmaceutical grade, government-regulated prescription medicines that medical students are taught to prescribe and that are covered by the National Health Service. Some poria-containing formulas are more than 1800 years old. Significant clinical experience and preclinical research exists on the dozens of Poria-containing formulas that are prescribed today. P. cocos is certainly safe for human ingestion. This is a potent 5 to 1 powdered extract, meaning that one gram of extract is equal in potency to 5 grams of herb. This extract is packed in Plum Flower Brand's nitrogen-flushed, safety-sealed dispenser bottle, a sample of which is pictured above. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. This is a pure herbal product with no additives. Extracted from sulfur-free and chlorine-free herbs for superior quality.

Eleuthero Root (Eleutherococcus senticosus; Siberian Ginseng; Ci Wu Jia) Powdered: 1 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. |

Barley Sprout (Hordeum vulgare; Mai Ya) 500 gm (1.17 lb): V
Barley Grass is a whole food supplement. Dehydrated whole leaf Barley Grass includes the natural juice and fiber found in fresh Barley Grass. Suggested Use: As a whole food supplement, mix 1 TBSP in 8-12 ounces of water, fruit, or vegetable juice. This amount provides the nutritional equivalent of a dark green leafy vegetable salad. Green barley leaves contain a wide spectrum of amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Among the vitamins are beta carotene and five B vitamins, including vitamin B12 (which is often thought to come only from animal sources). Barley grass also contains folic acid and the antioxidant vitamins C and E. Minerals include calcium, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. A recent laboratory analysis on green barley grass has turned up traces of more than 70 other minerals. It's a whole food loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, beta-carotene, calcium, chlorophyll, fiber and many more nutrients your body needs every day. Convenient and concentrated! No fat! No cholesterol! A superfood to spoon into your smoothies! Here's a great one: 1 banana ½ apple 1 kiwi, peeled ½ cup frozen mixed berries 1 cup orange juice ½ cup soy milk ½ cup nonfat plain yogurt ½ cup tofu 3 tablespoons unsalted natural peanut butter 2 tablespoons aloe vera juice 2 tablespoons flaxseed oil 1 tablespoon barley grass powder Barley grass contains eighteen amino acids, including the eight essential ones—that is, the amino acids that we must get from our diet. The body cannot produce them itself. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are the major constituents of every cell and body fluid (except urine and bile) and are thus necessary for the continual cell building, cell regeneration, and energy production that we need for life. An added benefit of the green barley leaf proteins is that they are polypeptides; smaller proteins that can be directly absorbed by the blood, where they promote cell metabolism (the chemical changes that we need to live) and neutralize substances that are bad for our health. Green barley leaves contain a multitude of the body’s spark plugs, enzymes. Enzymes are the catalysts for the body’s essential chemical reactions and are responsible for our digestive processes, for providing cellular energy, and for antioxidant effects. Barley Grass also contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has been studied for its potential as a deodorant, in stimulating tissue growth, and in stimulating red blood cells in connection with blood supply. Perhaps most remarkable is the similarity between chlorophyll and the red pigment in blood. Research in the 1940s demonstrated that the two pigments react the same during breakdown. According to an article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (Jan. 4, 1995), chlorophyll fed to laboratory animals reduces absorption of three dietary carcinogens: heterocyclic amines (found in cooked muscle meats), polycyclic h |

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. Apple Pectin - Botanical Powder -- 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: Common Apple, Domestic Apple, Cultivated Apple Apple Pectin is said to have beneficial effects on the digestive tract and the ability to maintain intestinal balance. It binds with cholesterol and fats before they are absorbed in the body and swiftly eliminates them from the intestinal tract, which may help to reduce the risk of coronary problems. This binding action is also believed to slow absorption of dietary sugar after meals, which also may be helpful in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Apple Pectin is believed to remove unwanted toxins from the colon and effectively promotes colonic health by cleansing the intestinal tract. History: We know that apples have been consumed by man since 6500 B.C., and were prescribed for virtually every ailment as a ''heal-all'' through the ages. Remember the adage, ''An apple a day.....''? Our ancestors knew the ''secret'' of the Apple and its life giving properties. Apple is particularly rich in Pectin, the name applied to any one of a group of white, amorphous complex carbohydrates with a high molecular weight. These water-soluble fibers are found in plant tissue, most commonly ripe fruits such as citrus fruits (particularly the peels), crabapples, plums, currants and apples, and researchers have found that raw Apples are the richest fruit sources in pectin, with the ''Jonagold'' leading other varieties. The characteristic structure of Pectin is a linear chain of a-(1-4)-linked D-galacturonic acid that forms the pectin-backbone, a homogalacturonan. The fiber has a gel-forming effect when mixed with water (which makes it an effective binding agent when cleansing the intestines and colon). Protopectin, which is present in unripe fruits, is converted to Pectin as the fruit ripens. Pectin forms a colloidal solution in water and gels on cooling, and when fruits are cooked with the correct amount of sugar, and when the acidity is optimum and the amount of Pectin present is sufficient, fruit jams and jellies will result. On the other hand, when fruits are over-ripe, the Pectin becomes pectic acid, which does not form jel |

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. Do not leave Broccoli out of your diet! Its extraordinary vitamins, minerals and fiber are essential to your good health. But aside from its nutrient-packed value, it is also thought to boost the body's resistance to invasive infection and free-radical damage to cells, as well as enhance carcinogen-fighting enzymes. Broccoli is also believed to promote healthy blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels. History: Broccoli is a branching, dark-green annual that derives its name from the Latin bracchium, meaning ''branch of trees'' or ''arm.'' The plant grows to about two feet in height with edible green heads and thick stems. It was first grown in Europe, most notably in Italy and France; however, its high degree of perfection was developed by Danish gardeners, and as a member of the cabbage family, it is one of the intermediate forms between wild cabbage and the cauliflower (of which it is the progenitor). The plant grows best in a cool, mild climate in a well-limed, loamy soil that is well irrigated. Broccoli did not become popular in the United States until the early twentieth century, but is now an extremely important crop, due to the fact that it is so revered for its nutritious and disease-fighting qualities. There are interesting developments on the horizon regarding the use of natural herbals in the fight against prostate cancer. Rutgers University scientists injected laboratory mice with Turmeric (also called Curcumin) and PEITC (phenethyl isothiocyanate), which is found naturally in cruciferous vegetables (Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, etc.) - after introducing human prostate cancer cells into the animals - either alone or in tandem. They reported that when Turmeric or PEITC was injected separately in new cancerous tumors, the growth of the tumors was retarded, but in well-established tumors, there was little effect. However, when the combination of Turmeric and the PEITC found in Broccoli was injected in combination, the results produced even stronger effects and significantly reduced tumor growth.

A gift from the Amazon rainforest, Camu Camu provides more vitamin C than any known botanical on earth! Its ascorbic acid helps to support the brain and nervous system, improve skin, enhance blood circulation, decrease cholesterol levels, help lower the incidence of blood clots in veins and fortify blood vessel walls. History: Camu Camu is a shrub (or bushy riverside tree) that is native to the Amazon rainforest, and its current range comprises Amazon lowland regions of Venezuela, Peru and Brazil (most notably), as well as Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia. Camu Camu fruit has only recently come into large-scale cultivation and sale to the world market with Japan as the major buyer, where it is very highly regarded for its vitamin C content. It is also frozen or bottled as a health juice. Camu Camu is exported from Peru to the United States for the production of ''vitamin C'' tablets for the ''health food'' market. It is the extraordinarily rich supply of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in Camu Camu that is considered the most important factor in its positioning on international markets. Closely related to the Rumberry-Guavaberry (Myrciaria floribunda), the plant produces young branchlets with prickly hairs and narrow, opposite-growing, lanceolate-to-elliptical-shaped, feathery leaves. The smallish tree, which may reach a height of fifteen feet, bears sweetly-fragrant flowers with tiny, white, waxy petals and a round, cherry-like fruit that is yellow at first, becoming maroon to purple-black. The fruit, with its yellow pulp, is soft and juicy when ripe and is of acid/sweet flavor. Each fruit contains three seeds. The bushy shrub grows in hot, damp tropics, and it fruits during the rainy season. As a matter of fact, it thrives in lakes, swamps and on riversides, frequently |

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 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 interch |
