Suma Root 4:1 Powdered Extract (Pfaffia paniculata) 5 kg (11 lbs): Q
Used as a tea, decoction and food supplement. Suma has long been used 'for all things' in Brazil – and is, in fact, called 'Brazilian Ginseng.' It has been used as a general tonic, a rejuvenant for convalescents and an aphrodisiac. Russian Olympic athletes claim that Suma is a muscle and endurance builder without the negative side effects of steroids. Much of Suma's chemistry is unique – it appears to enhance the body's use of oxygen on the cellular level. Suma's saponins have been clinically demonstrated to inhibit cancer cell growth and to help regulate blood sugar levels. Two Japanese patents for Suma pfaffosides and pfaffic acid derivatives as antitumor agents have been granted. A 1995 U.S. Patent application demonstrated increased hemoglobin levels during sickle cell treatment. Numerous other Suma-based patents have been filed in both France, Japan, Russia and the USA relating to Suma's anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and aphrodisiac effects. |

Ginseng Root, Chinese 40% Total Ginsenosides Powdered Extract (Panax ginseng; Ren Shen) 10 kg (22 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.'

Schisandra Fruit (Schisandra chinensis; Wu Wei Zi) Whole: 500 gm (1.17 lb): V
Generally used as a strong decoction or food additive. Confirming much of what the classical treatise on Chinese herbal medicine, the Shen Nung Pen Tsao Ching, says, modern Chinese research suggests that lignans, found in the seeds of schisandra berries, regenerate liver tissue damaged by harmful influences such as viral hepatitis and alcohol. Lignans lower blood levels of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), a marker for infective hepatitis and other liver disorders. Schisandra fruit may also have an adaptogenic action, much like the herb ginseng, but with weaker effects. Laboratory work suggests that schisandra may improve work performance, build strength, and help to reduce fatigue. Nutrition Science News: 1/2001: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), schisandra berries have been used predominantly for the lungs and kidneys as an astringent tonic to arrest mucous discharges, alleviate spontaneous sweating and check urinary and reproductive secretions such as in urinary incontinence and spermatorrhea, an involuntary loss of semen. More recently, the focus of schisandra research has been on its use in treating diabetes mellitus. Additionally, a protective effect on cardiovascular tissue insulted with chemical agents or ischemia has also been shown in vivo. As well, anti-inflammatory activity has been reported in in vitro, animal models, and clinical studies. The most important area, however, is in treating liver damage in conditions such as hepatitis. Schisandra is included in the pharmacopoeias of China, Japan, North and South Korea, and Russia, places where the plant grows naturally. Pharmacological research on schisandra has been conducted since the 1950s, when it was reported to exhibit central nervous system stimulatory activity, enhance mental and physical capacities and improve cardiovascular function. These studies, mostly conducted in the former Soviet Union, characterize schisandra as an adaptogen and resulted in its popular use as a tonic. Protects The Liver In China, crude schisandra berries, their preparations, and individual constituents are widely used for progressive hepatic degeneration due to viral hepatitis or chemical challenge—indications for which schisandra is well documented. In the 1970s, trials in China on patients with hepatitis resulting from either viral infection or chemical exposure reported schisandra preparations lowered elevated levels of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), an enzyme found primarily in the liver that is released into the bloodstream as the result of liver damage. This research focused on the antihepatotoxic effects of lignans isolated from the unhydrolyzed fraction of the seed oil. At least 13 of these lignans have been reported to enhance the hepatic glutathione antioxidant system and have been reported to be beneficial in treating viral- and chemical-induced hepatitis and liver cancer. In 1986, Chinese researchers reported more than 5,000 c |

Barley Grass Powder Cert. Organic (Hordeum vulgare; Da Mai Miao) 1 lb: K
This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. 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 reduc |

Ginkgo Leaf Cut & Sifted (Ginkgo biloba; Bai Guo Ye) 1 lb: K
This is Frontier’s double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Can be used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture, food additive and supplement. Medicinal use of Ginkgo leaf tea is ancient in Chinese herbal medicine. It helps clear the mind and improve the power of concentration. Modern clinical trials have demonstrated the usefulness of ginkgo in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, age-related cognitive decline and depression. Ginkgo's flavone glycosides and terpene lactones do indeed increase circulation to the brain and other parts of the body as well as exerting a protective action on nerve cells. The unique terpene lactone components found in ginkgo are known as ginkgolides and bilobalide. Ginkgolides apparently improve circulation and inhibit platelet-activating factor. Bilobalide protects the cells of the nervous system. Recent animal studies indicate that bilobalide may help regenerate damaged nerve cells. One double blind study found that ginkgo could help people with macular degeneration, an oxidation-related disorder causing decreased or lost vision. Ginkgo’s antioxidant activity in the brain and central nervous system may help prevent age-related declines in brain function. The brain and central nervous system are particularly susceptible to free radical attack. Free radical damage, that is, oxidation damage, in the brain is widely accepted as being a contributing factor in many disorders associated with aging, including Alzheimer’s disease. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends a dry extract from the dried leaf of Ginkgo biloba for '(a) symptomatic treatment of disturbed performance in organic brain syndrome within the regimen of a therapeutic concept in cases of demential syndromes with the following principal symptoms: Memory deficits, disturbances in concentration, depressive emotional condition, dizziness, tinnitus, and headache.' '(b) Improvement of pain-free walking distance in peripheral arterial occlusive disease in Stage II of Fontaine (intermittent claudication) in a regimen of physical therapeutic measures, in particular walking exercise. (c) Vertigo and tinnitus (ringing in the ear) of vascular and involutional origin.' 'The following pharmacological effects have been established experimentally: Improvement of hypoxic tolerance, particularly in the cerebral tissue. Inhibition of the development of traumatically or toxically induced cerebral edema, and acceleration of its regression. Reduction of retinal edema and of cellular lesions in the retina. Inhibition in age-related reduction of muscarinergic cholinoceptors and 2-adrenoceptors as well as stimulation of choline uptake in the hippocampus.

Eleuthero Root 4:1 Powdered Extract (Eleutherococcus senticosus; Siberian Ginseng; Ci Wu Jia) 10 kg (22 lbs): Q
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. |

The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Bacopa, Bacopa Monniera, Brahmi*, Neer Brahmi, Pennell, Water Hyssop *Note: The common name, Brahmi, should not be confused with one of Gotu Kola's common names (also called Brahmi); it is a different plant with different properties. Bacopa Monnieri is a very popular ''brain tonic '' in India that is used for longevity and to improve mental function and learning abilities. It is considered an Ayurvedic age tonic that is said to restore youth and vitality and to stimulate sex drive. It is also thought to be useful in repairing skin and smoothing out cellulite. History: Bacopa Monnieri is an annual or perennial creeping plant that may be found growing throughout India, in damp and marshy wetlands and on muddy shores, ascending to an altitude of 1,320 meters. There are also several species of the herb found in Hawaii and Florida, and in the West, Bacopa is a familiar water plant used in aquariums. Bacopa Monnieri is a small, sprawling plant that bears succulent, relatively thick, lance-shaped leaves and is distinguished by its small white flowers with four or five petals. In the Ayurvedic medicine of India, Bacopa has been revered for almost three thousand years, appearing in the ancient Ayurvedic treatise, Charaka Samhita, as a brain tonic for treatment of a range of mental conditions including anxiety, poor cognition, lack of concentration, epilepsy, loss of memory, and also acts as a mild sedative. Most parts of the plant have been used traditionally, but modern preparations employ extracts of the stem and leaves. Today, in India, Bacopa is still recognized as being effective in the treatment of learning disabilities, mental illness and epilepsy. Some of the constituents in Bacopa Monnieri include saponins (monnierin, hersaponin, and bacoside A and B), betulinic acid, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine, wogonin and oroxindin, flavonoids (apigenin and luteolin), Beta-sitosterol, D-mannitol, stigmasterol (and its esters), nicotine and alkaloids (brahmine and herpestine).

Try it as a support for improved digestion, detoxified system, increased energy, rejuvenated skin and healthier-looking hair and nails. History: Barley Grass is an annual cereal plant that was cultivated in the Middle East about ten thousand years ago and is now widely cultivated throughout the world in temperate climates as a nutritional food grain for humans and animals. Remains of Barley grains found at archaeological sites in the Fertile Crescent (Israel-Jordan-Syria-Iraq-Lebanon area) indicate that the crop was domesticated from its Wild Barley relative and ancestor, Hordeum spontaneum, which still grows in the Middle East. Barley Grass is a stout, hollow stem (or culm) that produces narrow, ascending, tapering leaves and bears flowers in bearded terminal spikes that eventually generate the barley grains. The small bristles on the top of the Barley Grass are called awn, and the plant reaches about three feet in height. Barley will grow as a crop in acid, neutral or basic (alkaline) soil, but it must be well-drained and does not like shade. The plant can bear strong winds, but not maritime exposure, and is more tolerant of soil salinity than wheat, and may even thrive in conditions that are too cold for rye. However, Barley Grass can be tricky (and expensive) to grow; it is a tender grain and easily hurt in any stages of growth, and heavy rain can almost ruin a crop on the best-prepared land. After harvesting, Barley is processed to remove two outer hulls, which are inedible, and when the husk is decorticated (removed) from the grain, it is called Pearl Barley; Scotch- or Pot-milled Barley is the grain with husks only partly removed. Barley Grass was well known as a food and medicine to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. It was mentioned in the ''Ebers Papyrus,'' an Egyptian compendium of me |

Other common names: Epimedium, Yin Yang Huo, Fairy Wings, Bishop's Hat, Barrenwort For those who wish to improve their sex drive and performance, try Horny Goat Weed! It has been used for two thousand years in China as a powerful aphrodisiac for both women and men. Further, it is said to be effective in restoring sexual desire in both sexes and enhancing erectile function and increasing sperm production in men. The herb is also said to be effective in reducing fatigue, increasing energy and alleviating menopausal discomforts, and The Chinese Academy of Sciences even recommends Horny Goat Weed to slow the ageing process. History: Horny Goat Weed is one of about twenty-five species of herbaceous flowering plants that is native to China and other parts of Asia (other species are native to Europe). The hardy, deciduous perennial grows as a leafy groundcover, most abundantly at higher altitudes, and bears four-petaled, purple, pink, yellow or white ''spider-like'' flowers that resemble a ''Bishop's Hat'' (giving the plant one of its common names), and blooming in spring or early summer. Horny Goat Weed has a long history in China, where its medicinal properties were first recorded two thousand years ago in the Shen Nong Canon of Herbs. The Chinese regard this herb as one of the most effective aphrodisiacs for both men and women, and its use came about in a somewhat circuitous way (or so legend has it). Centuries ago, Chinese goat herders noticed incessant sexual behavior in his goats and observed that this activity seemed to be directly related to their diet. When the goats fed on this herb, the activity increased; hence, the name Horny Goat Weed was christened, and it probably did not take too long thereafter for its use to be shifted to humans. In China, its name is translated as ''the herb for the man who likes sex too much, like a goat.'' In Chinese herbal medicine, Horny Goat Weed has also been used to treat kidney, joint, liver and back disorders, but its fame rests upon its aphrodisiacal qualities. Some of the constituents included in Horny Goat Weed are a variety of flavonoids (icariin), |
