Acai Berry 4:1 Powdered Extract (Euterpe oleracea) 1 kg (2.2 lbs): Q
The acaí berry comes from a palm that has a long thin trunk up to 25m high with a group of branches at the top from which hangs ribbon-like leaves. Acaí berries hang from these branches in clusters that look like groups of bluebottles. Each acai palm tree produces about 20 kg of fruit per year and the wine produced by this fruit has become the most important local product in terms of finance after wood forest products. Belem in Brazil now employs over 30,000 people on a daily basis to keep up with its enormous demand. Acai is naturally full with energy, it has a vibrant taste of berries with a hint of chocolate, is rich in proteins, fibre, vitamin E, minerals and essential Omega oils to reduce our bad cholesterol caused by our western diets. The acai berries fatty acid ratio resembles that of olive oil this is thought to be a contributing factor to low incidence of heart disease in Mediterranean populations. The acai berry contains similar properties as red wine in controlling fats in the blood and is a fair contributor to go up against the wine diets of the Mediterranean people. Known as the miracle fruit, acai berries also helps in preventing cancer due to its antioxidant properties that are five times more potent than gingko biloba. Acai berry juice has been introduced into other products like bars and health snacks to be sold at gyms and health spas. It is traditionally used in the Amazon as an energy booster for hunting and good libido. Acai is considered to be one of nature’s most complete and healthy organic foods. The acai berry is loaded with antioxidants , anthocyanins (approximately 20 times the amount in red wine), amino acids, essential omegas, fibers and protein. Some recent studies from the University of Florida indicate that Acai may prevent cancer and fight aging: "Brazilian berry destroys cancer cells in lab, UF study shows". http://news.ufl.edu/2006/01/12/berries/: Brazilian berry destroys cancer cells in lab, UF study shows Filed under Research, Health, Sciences, Agriculture on Thursday, January 12, 2006.GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A Brazilian berry popular in health food contains antioxidants that destroyed cultured human cancer cells in a recent University of Florida study, one of the first to investigate the fruit’s purported benefits. Published today in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the study showed extracts from acai (ah-SAH’-ee) berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested, said Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

Vamsa Rochna Leaves Powder (Bambusa arundinacea) 8 oz: B
According to Ayurvedic texts, the herb is a stimulant, astringent, tonic, as well as an aphrodisiac. Websters Revised Unabridged Dictionary 1913: Malay bambu, mambu.] (Bot.) A plant of the family of grasses, and genus Bambusa, growing in tropical countries. The most useful species is Bambusa arundinacea, which has a woody, hollow, round, straight, jointed stem, and grows to the height of forty feet and upward. The flowers grow in large panicles, from the joints of the stalk, placed three in a parcel, close to their receptacles. Old stalks grow to five or six inches in diameter, and are so hard and durable as to be used for building, and for all sorts of furniture, for water pipes, and for poles to support palanquins. The smaller stalks are used for walking sticks, flutes, etc. http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/duke_energy/Bambusa_arundinacea.html: Source: James A. Duke. 1983. Handbook of Energy Crops. unpublished. Very young shoots are consumed as food in some parts of India and China. In raw state, shoots (ca 8 cm in diameter and 37.5 cm long) are very acrid, but with two changes of water in cooking and with addition of salt and butter, they make a pleasant vegetable. Young shoots pickled or made into curries. Wood used by Chinese in household carpentry, furniture, boxes, ornamental vases, scaffolding, etc. Leaves used as fodder. Stems in great demand for manufacture of paper pulp of good quality. Seeds edible and used in times of scarcity of food. An ointment from the root is said to be a folk remedy for cirrhosis and hard tumors, especially tumors of the abdomen, liver, spleen and stomach (Hartwell, 1967–1971). Tabasheer, a siliceous secretion (up to 97% SiO2), considered aphrodisiac, cooling, and tonic, is used in asthma, cough and debilitating diseases (C.S.I.R., 1948–1976). Leaves given to horses suffering coughs and colds. |

Rhodiola Root 1% Salidrosides Powdered Extract (Rhodiola rosea) 10 kg (22 lbs): Q
Used as a food, food additive, infusion, decoction and extract. Traditional folk medicine used R. rosea to increase physical endurance, work productivity, longevity, resistance to high altitude sickness, and to treat fatigue, depression, anemia, impotence, gastrointestinal ailments, infections, and nervous system disorders. Rhodiola rosea: A Possible Plant Adaptogen - evaluation of therapeutic properties Alternative Medicine Review, June, 2001 (Altern Med Rev 2001;6(3):293-302) by Gregory S. Kelly (abridged) numbered references online at: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FDN/is_3_6/ai_76487131 Rhodiola rosea is a popular plant in traditional medical systems in Eastern Europe and Asia with a reputation for stimulating the nervous system, decreasing depression, enhancing work performance, eliminating fatigue, and preventing high altitude sickness. Rhodiola rosea has been categorized as an adaptogen by Russian researchers due to its observed ability to increase resistance to a variety of chemical, biological, and physical stressors. Its claimed benefits include antidepressant, anticancer, cardioprotective, and central nervous system enhancement. Research also indicates great utility in asthenic conditions (decline in work performance, sleep difficulties, poor appetite, irritability, hypertension, headaches, and fatigue) developing subsequent to intense physical or intellectual strain. The adaptogenic, cardiopulmonary protective, and central nervous system activities of Rhodiola rosea have been attributed primarily to its ability to influence levels and activity of monoamines and opioid peptides such as beta-endorphins. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed at high altitudes in Arctic and mountainous regions throughout Europe and Asia. It is a popular plant in traditional medical systems in Eastern Europe and Asia, with a reputation for stimulating the nervous system, decreasing depression, enhancing work performance, eliminating fatigue, and preventing high altitude sickness.[1] In addition to Rhodiola rosea, over 200 different species of Rhodiola have been identified and at least 20 are used in traditional medical systems in Asia, including R. alterna, R. brevipetiolata, R. crenulata, R. kirilowii, R. quadrifida, R. sachalinensis, and R. sacra. Rhodiola rosea has been intensively studied in Russia and Scandinavia for more than 35 years. Although the majority of this research on Rhodiola rosea is unavailable for review, available literature is supportive of its adaptogenic properties. Similar to other plant adaptogens investigated by Russian researchers, such as Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian ginseng) and Panax ginseng (Korean ginseng), extracts of this plant produce favorable changes in a variety of diverse areas of physiological function, including neurotransmitter levels, central nervous system activity, and cardiovascular function.

Royal Jelly 6%10-HAD Powdered Concentrate (Feng Wang Jiang) 1 kg (2.2 lbs): Q
Royal jelly is made by bees to feed the queen bee. Some larvae are given royal jelly, but only the queen receives it once maturity has been reached. Queen bees, are, in effect, super bees, and they may indeed be what they eat. The queen goes on to lay millions of eggs and lives up to 40 times longer. Royal Jelly is a very complex natural source of nutrition for promoting energy and health. It is a very rich source of essential as well as non-essential amino acids, vitamin A, C, D, E, as well as B-complex, trace minerals as well as calcium, copper, iron, potassium, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur, essential fatty acids, sugars, sterols, and acetylcholine, a neuronal transmitter. Royal Jelly is one of the world's most complete concentrated natural food sources. Royal jelly has been proven to be antibacterial in the laboratory. It is also a scientifically proven wound healer and antitumor agent. Royal Jelly has also been shown to lower cholesterol levels. Royal Jelly, containing many potent natural anti-oxidants, has an anti-aging effect. Taking Royal Jelly may provide numerous health benefits including energy, stamina, robustness, youthfulness, promoting immune system and skin beauty, and alleviating anxiety, asthma, moodiness, and sleeplessness. |

Codonopsis Root (Codonopsis pilosula; Dang Shen) Small Whole: 500 gm (1.17 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. |

Royal Jelly (Feng Wang Jiang Fen) 3:1 Powder 1 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. Royal Jelly - Botanical 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: Apilak, Gelée Royale, Queen Bee Jelly Royal Jelly has been called the ''Crown Jewel'' of the beehive that has become extremely popular since the 1950s as a wonderful source of energy and stamina and the reason why the Queen Bee is so strong and enduring. It is also thought to be a great nutritional source of enzymes, proteins, sugars and amino acids, but there is no scientific proof to verify the supplement's efficacy for its use as an overall health tonic. You'll have to decide. History: Royal Jelly is a thick, milky material that is secreted from the hypopharyngea- salivary glands in the heads of the young nurse bees between the sixth and twelfth days of life, and when honey and pollen are combined and refined within the nurse bee, Royal Jelly is naturally created. While all larvae in a colony are fed Royal Jelly, it is the only food that is fed to the Queen Bee throughout her life; other adult bees do not consume it at all. All female eggs may produce a Queen Bee, but this occurs only when - during the whole development of the larvae - she is cared for and fed by this material - in large quantities. As a result of this special nutrition, the Queen develops reproductive organs (while the worker bee develops traits that relate only to work, i.e., stronger mandibles, brood food, wax glands and pollen baskets). The Queen develops in about fifteen days, while the workers require twenty-one; and finally, the Queen endures for several years, while workers survive only a few months. ''10-2 HDA,'' thought to be the principle active substance in Royal Jelly, makes the Queen Bee fifty percent larger than the other female worker bees and gives her incredible stamina, ovulation ability and longevity, living four to five years longer than worker bees who only live forty or more days. Perhaps this is the reason why so many positive qualities have been attributed to Royal Jelly as a truly rare gift of nature, but it should be noted that there is no clinical evidence to support the claims. There is even great controversy as to the constituents included in the supplement. Some say it in |

Yerba Maté - 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: Maté, South American Holly, Ilex, Paraguay Tea, St. Bartholomew's Tea, Ilex Maté, Missionaries' Tea, Jesuit Tea, Hervea, Matté Tea, Houx Maté, Brazil Tea, Gon-gouha Yerba Maté is a powerful stimulant and more popular in its native South America than tea or coffee (it is the national drink of Argentina!). The herb has a reputation as a nutritious tonic that not only stimulates the body (providing youthful vigor and energy), but it also stimulates the mind (promoting mental acuity and clarity). History: Yerba Maté is a large, white-flowered, evergreen shrub that grows wild near streams in moist, well-drained soil in sun or shade and requires at least a forty-five-degree Fahrenheit temperature to succeed. It is native to subtropical South America and has been cultivated as a very valuable commercial crop in northern Argentina (Corrientes and Misiones), southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and western Uruguay (and it has also been naturalized in Texas). Paraguay exports millions of pounds of Yerba Maté annually. The Yerba Maté plant grows as a shrub or small tree that produces a large red fruit or drupe (which is never consumed) and leafy shoots that may be picked at intervals throughout the year in the same manner as tea. Its leaves have a serrated margin, and they are used in herbal medicine and also made into a tea that is the beverage of choice in much of South America. Because of its enormous popularity, Yerba Maté is heavily cultivated as a valuable crop and has displaced great areas of rain forest canopy trees. Although the trees can sometimes reach a height of twenty feet, they are still much lower than the rain forest canopy they replace and have, thus, created an environmental issue. A beverage made from the leaf is the national drink of Argentina, where it is touted as an energizer and a tonic, and it is so popular that the average Argentinian consumes about eleven pounds annually.

In men, it is said to be particularly effective in boosting sexual performance. It is particularly useful in cases of impotence and erectile dysfunction, whether brought on by age or stress or fatigue, and is thought to enhance the quality and staying power of erections. Many women have reported significant arousal and increased pleasurable sensations, and it has been helpful in cases of frigidity and lack of sexual interest. History: Yohimbe is an evergreen tree, native to the African forests of Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon and the Congo, and it thrives in moist soil with high humidity in high temperatures, rising to a height of one hundred feet with a breadth of fifty feet. It has a reddish-brown bark, leaves and small flowers, and the bark is collected in the wild (the tree is not believed to be cultivated anywhere) for commercial use in herbal medicine. Yohimbe has been used in traditional African medicine as a potent aphrodisiac, especially treating male erectile disorders, and as a remedy for heart problems, leprosy and other skin conditions. Various tribes ingested Yohimbe to enhance sexual prowess and smoked it for its hallucinogenic properties. Medicinal use of Yohimbe reached Europe in the 1890s. Most of the pharmacological data collected concerns one of the bark's isolated constituents, the indole alkaloid, yohimbine; and Yohimbe Bark is the original source of the chemical, yohimbine, which has been included in drugs that treat erectile dysfunction. The chemical has also been found in the South American herb, quebracho.
