The Acai berry may be the number one superfood in the world. Acai is loaded with antioxidants, omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids which are rarely found in fruit. The berries also contain an optimal combination of essential amino acids, polyphenols and flavonoids as well as minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium and vitamins B1, B2, B3, C and E. This remarkably nutritious berry found in the Amazon Rainforest has been gaining notoriety and was recently featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Our 100% pure organic raw freeze dried Acai Berry powder is the most potent form of Acai available. The freeze drying process is optimal to retain and preserve the nutrients in Acai due to its naturally high fat content. We take the skin and pulp of the acai berry and dry at -20°C in a vacuum.

The Acai Berry is one of the world's most powerful anti-aging foods. It has one of the highest ratings on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). The ORAC scale is a test developed by USDA researchers out of Tufts University in Boston that measures the antioxidant level in foods. Acai Berries possess the amazing ability to absorb injurious, free radicals that attack the body and may contribute to the aging process as well as other diseases. Today, our bodies are constantly being bombarded by free radicals from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the pesticides on our fruits and vegetables, the chemicals we clean with, the preservatives in our processed food and on and on. Eating foods high in antioxidants is one way we can help our bodies combat these free radicals and the damage they cause.

Acai also contains the highest concentration of anthocyanins of any food. Anthocyanins have been shown to improve mental function, concentration, memory, and mental clarity. They are also known for improving capillary health which in turn helps with oxygen uptake and can reduce macular degeneration (vision loss due to aging). Due to their ability to protect the brain from free radical damage and their support of healthy, cellular tissue growth, anthocyanins are reputed to be one of the most valuable anti-aging antioxidants known.

The famous research regarding the "French Paradox" attributes anthocyanins as being the antioxidant that protects the French from heart disease. The French consume large amounts of coffee, nicotine, sugar, white flour and cheese and yet they have a relatively low incidence of heart disease compared to their neighbors in the UK and other European countries. The red wine grape, due to its anthocyanins is what is believed to be responsible for the low incidence of heart disease. The Acai berry has 30 times the anthocyanins levels of red wine.

Cancer, heart disease, and diabetes are all known to be metabolic diseases associated with aging. Supplying your body with quality anti-aging antioxidants contained in whole foods like our raw freeze dried Acai Berry Powder, along with a healthy diet, and exercise is your first line of defense.

Some possible benefits of our Raw Organic Freeze Dried Acai Powder may include:

● Being one of the world's most powerful anti-aging food
● Supporting healthy body weight
● High levels of antioxidants
● Improving mental function including concentration, memory, & mental clarity
● Supporting healthy blood sugar levels

● Improving energy levels
● Supporting healthy cholesterol levels
● Excellent source of natural fiber

Raw Muira Puama is said to improve psychological and physical aspects of libido and sexual function, menstrual cramps and PMS. Muira Puama is one of the most active botanicals with a long history of traditional use as an energy tonic and remedy for impotence & sexual insufficiency. It is known in some circles as "the Viagra of the Amazon" and in fact, many people consider it the new Yohimbe but with considerably less possible side effects.

Muira Puama was the subject of a study conducted by the UCLA School of Medicine. The study showed a significant improvement in both erectile function and sexual desire. The Amazon natives have known this for centuries, as this herb has been widely used as an aphrodisiac by both men and women, and is commonly known as "potent wood".

The short term effects of Muira Puama include increasing blood flow to the pelvic area, aiding erections in men as well as sensation and orgasm in women. Longer term use enhances the production of sex hormones in both sexes. It has no noted side effects though, as with many sexual stimulants, it can slightly raise blood pressure.

Muira Puama has also been used for stress management, nervous system stimulation and for general overall health. Two French studies showed that Muira Puama seemed to improve libido and sexual function. Scientists also believe that this herb increases testosterone levels, though this has not yet been clinically proven.

It has been used to tonify the nervous system and to treat cases of mild exhaustion. It can also help with gastrointestinal and reproductive disorders, while it's anti-rheumatic properties have been used for treating stress and trauma.

A clinical study with 262 patients complaining of lack of sexual desire and the inability to attain or maintain an erection demonstrated Muira Puama extract to be effective in many cases. Within 2 weeks, at a daily dose of 1 to 1.5 grams of the extract, 62% of patients with loss of libido claimed that the treatment had dynamic effect while 51 percent of patients with "erection failures" felt that Muira Puama was of benefit. Primary chemical constituents of muira Puama include alkaloids (specifically muirapuamine), esters, plant sterols, free fatty acids and phytosterols. Presently, the exact mechanism of action of this herb is still under investigation. From the preliminary information, it appears that it works on enhancing both psychological and physical aspects of sexual function.

Muira Puama is employed around the world today in herbal medicine. In Brazil and South American herbal medicine, it is used a neuromuscular tonic, for asthenia, paralysis, chronic rheumatism, sexual impotency, grippe, ataxia, and central nervous system disorders. In Europe, it has used to treat impotency, infertility, neurasthenia, menstrual disturbances and dysentery. Because of the long history of use of Muira Puama in England, it is still listed in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia, a noted source on herbal medicine from the British Herbal Medicine Association, where it is recommended for the treatment of dysentery and impotence. It has been gaining in popularity in the United States where herbalists and health care practitioners are using Muira Puama for impotency, menstrual cramps and PMS, neurasthenia and central nervous system disorders.

While so-called "aphrodisiacs" have come and gone in history, Muira Puama has risen above this class of products and may well provide the most effective natural therapeutic approach for loss of libido in both sexes.

Some possible benefits of our raw wild Muira Puama powder may include:

● Improving both erectile function & sexual desire
● Slightly raising blood pressure
● Fighting gastrointestinal & reproductive disorders
● Supports healthy nervous system
● Reducing mild exhaustion
● Enhancing both psychological & physical aspects of sexual function
● Increasing blood flow to the pelvic area
● Aiding erections in men as well as sensation & orgasm in women
● Possibly enhancing the production of sex hormones in both sexes

Suggested Use: Mix 1 teaspoon with juice, yogurt or add to your favorite smoothie.

Our raw organic Irish moss grows wild in the pristine and protected oceans off the coast of Canada. Known by many different names such as pearl moss and carragheen, Irish moss is a unique herb with many health benefits. This North Atlantic seaweed is edible and has mucilaginous substance as part of its yield which is what gives it the inherent medicinal qualities.

Irish moss (chondrus crispus, carrageen) is full of electrolyte minerals - calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. Its mucilaginous compounds help you detoxify, boost metabolism and strengthen hair, skin and nails. Traditionally used for a low sex drive. The wonder seaweed may have positive benefits for a number of health conditions such as the formation of varicose veins, halitosis, inflammation and dysentery. Irish moss has also been used as an emollient. Raw Irish moss can also have positive effects on hyper tension, arteriosclerosis, and protection against fat.

Raw Organic Irish moss is a seaweed and a great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI). Iodine is a chemical element essential for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate growth and metabolism. Diets deficient in iodine increase risk of retarded brain development in children (cretinism), mental slowness, high cholesterol, lethargy, fatigue, depression, weight gain, and goiter: a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck. The natural Potassium iodide (KI) / Iodine from Irish moss is absorbed by your body more slowly and safely than chemical or synthetic iodine. Further Irish moss helps promote an alkaline pH balance within the body and also boosts the immune system.

Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI), administered orally immediately after exposure to certain types of radiation, may be used to protect the thyroid from ingested radioactive iodine. But Potassium iodide (KI) would only be effective if the radiation contains radioactive iodine.

The application of Irish moss on the skin helps to enhance its natural moisture barrier. It keeps all sorts of harmful external elements that will harm the skin outside while leaving the beneficial moisture inside. With constant regulated use of Irish moss the skin develops better moisture retention and the ability to retain essential lipids as well. Overall the skin develops a healthy glow and appearance when treated with Irish moss.

Some possible benefits of our raw organic Irish Moss powder may include:

● Great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI)
● Ability to scavenge chemicals, drugs, heavy metals & radioisotopes throughout the body
● Reducing formation of varicose veins
● Combating halitosis

Our raw organic Bladderwrack comes from the pristine and protected oceans of the North Atlantic. Whole leaves of organic bladderwrack are sun-dried and then ground into a powder at low temperatures.

Raw Bladderwrack is a rich source of mucilage, algin, mannitol, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, iodine, bromine, potassium, volatile oils, and many other minerals. In addition, bladderwrack may have health benefits on skin condition and other conditions. Organic raw Bladderwrack powder like other sea vegetables is virtually fat-free, low calorie and one of the richest sources of minerals in the vegetable kingdom. Bladderwrack contains high amounts of calcium and phosphorous and is extremely high in magnesium, iron, iodine and sodium. Bladderwrack is also a source of fucoidan, a polysaccharide known to scavenge heavy metals and radioisotopes throughout the body.

Raw organic bladderwrack (Fucus Vesiculosus) is a brown seaweed and a great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI). Iodine is a chemical element essential for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate growth and metabolism. Diets deficient in iodine increase risk of retarded brain development in children (cretinism), mental slowness, high cholesterol, lethargy, fatigue, depression, weight gain, and goiter: a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck. The natural Potassium iodide (KI) / Iodine from bladderwrack is absorbed by your body more slowly and safely than chemical or synthetic iodine. Further bladderwrack helps promote an alkaline pH balance within the body and also boosts the immune system.

Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI), administered orally immediately after exposure to certain types of radiation, may be used to protect the thyroid from ingested radioactive iodine. But Potassium iodide (KI) would only be effective if the radiation contains radioactive iodine.

Raw Bladderwrack is also excellent for detoxification. It is a primary source of alginic acid which is a polysaccharide that is abundant in sea vegetables classified as brown seaweeds. Scientific researchers, including a team led by Dr. Tanaka at McGill University, have demonstrated that alginic acid binds with any heavy metals found in the intestines, renders them indigestible, and causes them to be eliminated. Heavy metals such as barium, cadmium, lead, mercury, zinc, and even radioactive strontium, that may be present in the intestines will not be absorbed by the body when alginic acid is present. What's more, Dr. Tanaka's research has shown that the alginic acid in sea vegetables actually helps bind and draw out any similar toxins that are already stored in our bodies, thus "lowering the body's burden."

Doctors Seibin and Teruko Arasaki, Japanese scientists who have published several books about sea vegetables, also report this cleansing property of alginic acid in their book Vegetables From the Sea. They conclude, "Heavy metals taken into the human body are rendered insoluble by alginic acid in the intestines and cannot, therefore, be absorbed into body tissues."

A chemical constituent of bladder wrack called alginic acid swells upon contact with water; when taken orally, it forms a type of "seal" at the top of the stomach, and for this reason is used in several over-the-counter preparations for heartburn. The same constituent gives bladder wrack laxative properties as well Other proposed uses of bladder wrack include treating atherosclerosis and strengthening immunity, although there is no scientific evidence at present that it works for these purposes.

Some possible benefits of our raw organic Bladderwrack powder may include:

● Ability to scavenge chemicals, drugs, heavy metals & radioisotopes throughout the body
● Anti-aging properties
● Strengthening immunity
● Great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI)
● Strengthens an underactive thyroid
● Strengthening immunity
● Fighting heartburn
● May be helpful for inflamed joints when used internally or externally
● Possessing anti-aging activities when applied topically
● Helpful for women who have excessive estrogen secretion or predisposed to estrogen sensitive conditions
● Excellent source of bioavailable iron
● Cholesterol-lowering effects
● Anti-viral, anticoagulant, & antithrombotic properties
● Contains fucoidans which may have anti-inflammatory benefits
● Natural source of the mineral vanadium which appears to play a multi-faceted role in regulation of carbohydrate metabolism & blood sugar

Suggested Use: Take 1/4 teaspoon 1 - 3 times daily. Sprinkle on entrees, soups, salads or add to smoothies or teas.

Our raw Organic Kelp powder (also known as Rockweed or Norwegian kelp - Ascophyllum nodosum) is naturally mineral rich and can be easily included in practically any dish. Sprinkle it on entrees, soups and salads. Or add it to smoothies, teas and iced drinks. Our organic kelp comes from the pristine and protected oceans of the North Atlantic. Kelp like other sea vegetables is virtually fat-free, low calorie and one of the richest sources of minerals in the vegetable kingdom. Kelp contains high amounts of calcium and phosphorous and is extremely high in magnesium, iron, iodine and sodium.

Kelp (laminaria), the most prolific sea plant on America's shores, contains algin, carrageenan, iodine, potassium, bromine, mucopolysaccharides, mannitol, alginic acid, kainic acid, laminine, histamine, zeaxanthin, protein, vitamins A, B, E, D, K, C, and is rich in minerals. Kelp proteins are comparable in quality to animal proteins. Kelp contains sodium alginate (algin), an element that helps remove radioactive particles and heavy metals from the body. Algin, carrageenan and agar are kelp gels that rejuvenate gastrointestinal health and aid digestion. Kelp works as a blood purifier, relieves arthritis stiffness, and promotes adrenal, pituitary and thyroid health. Its natural iodine can normalize thyroid-related disorders like overweight and lymph system congestion. It is a demulcent that helps eliminate herpes outbreaks.

Kelp is a nutritional source that is used to promote healthy glandular functions, focusing especially on the thyroid. Kelp is especially high in iodine, which must be present for proper glandular function. By regulating the thyroid, Kelp helps stimulate and balance the metabolism. The large amounts of iodine found in Kelp are important in the treatment of an under-active thyroid. Consequently, Kelp may contribute to weight loss if the weight gain is directly related to thyroid disorders. Containing algin, a fiber that absorbs toxins and nutrients from the digestive system, Kelp helps improve digestion, stimulate kidney function, increase circulation, and purify the blood. Kelp has also been known to treat inflamed joints and tissues caused by arthritis and rheumatism. Furthermore, Kelp enhances the immune system and eliminates the negative effects that stress may have on the body. It can also help to normalize overly low blood pressure. Known topical uses for this herb include its use as a compress or oil for arthritic joints, as a bath herb for cellulite and weight loss and as a lotion for its skin-softening qualities.

Organic raw Kelp is a brown seaweed and a great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI). Iodine is a chemical element essential for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate growth and metabolism. Diets deficient in iodine increase risk of retarded brain development in children (cretinism), mental slowness, high cholesterol, lethargy, fatigue, depression, weight gain, and goiter: a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck. The natural Potassium iodide (KI) / Iodine from Kelp / Rockweed is absorbed by your body more slowly and safely than chemical or synthetic iodine. Further Kelp / Rockweed helps promote an alkaline pH balance within the body and also boosts the immune system.

Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI), administered orally immediately after exposure to certain types of radiation, may be used to protect the thyroid from ingested radioactive iodine. But Potassium iodide (KI) would only be effective if the radiation contains radioactive iodine.

Raw organic Kelp is also excellent for detoxification. Kelp is a primary source of alginic acid which is a polysaccharide that is abundant in sea vegetables classified as brown seaweeds. Scientific researchers, including a team led by Dr. Tanaka at McGill University, have demonstrated that alginic acid binds with any heavy metals found in the intestines, renders them indigestible, and causes them to be eliminated. So, heavy metals, such as barium, cadmium, lead, mercury, zinc, and even radioactive strontium, that may be present in the intestines will not be absorbed by the body when alginic acid is present. What's more, Dr. Tanaka's research has shown that the alginic acid in sea vegetables actually helps bind and draw out any similar toxins that are already stored in our bodies, thus "lowering the body's burden."

Doctors Seibin and Teruko Arasaki, Japanese scientists who have published several books about sea vegetables, also report this cleansing property of alginic acid in their book Vegetables From the Sea. They conclude, "Heavy metals taken into the human body are rendered insoluble by alginic acid in the intestines and cannot therefore be absorbed into body tissues."

Some possible benefits of our raw organic Kelp powder may include:

● Great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI)
● Ability to scavenge chemicals, drugs, heavy metals, & radioisotopes throughout the body
● Improving circulation
● Protecting against obesity
● Deterring cholesterol build up in the body
● Polysaccharides: important in the prevention of degenerative diseases

● Supporting recovery from cancer & radiation poisoning
● Strengthens an underactive thyroid
● May be used as an emollient
● Excellent source of bioavailable iron
● Reducing allergies in dogs
● May play a role in lowering risk of estrogen-related problems
● Anti-viral, anticoagulant, & antithrombotic properties
● Contains fucoidans which may have anti-inflammatory benefits
● Natural source of the mineral vanadium which appears to play a multi-faceted role in regulation of carbohydrate metabolism & blood sugar

Suggested Use: Take 1/4 teaspoon 1 - 3 times daily.

So, heavy metals, such as barium, cadmium, lead, mercury, zinc, and even radioactive strontium, that may be present in the intestines will not be absorbed by the body when alginic acid is present. What's more, Dr. Tanaka's research has shown that the alginic acid in sea vegetables actually helps bind and draw out any similar toxins that are already stored in our bodies, thus "lowering the body's burden."

Doctors Seibin and Teruko Arasaki, Japanese scientists who have published several books about sea vegetables, also report this cleansing property of alginic acid in their book Vegetables From the Sea. They conclude, "Heavy metals taken into the human body are rendered insoluble by alginic acid in the intestines and cannot therefore be absorbed into body tissues."

Raw Organic Triphala ("three fruits"), an herbal formulation originating in India, has been found to act as a complete body cleanser. Not only does Triphala help to detoxify and cleanse the colon, it also purifies the blood and removes toxins from the liver. Other cleansing benefits of Triphala include reducing cholesterol (serum cholesterol) and helping reduce high blood pressure.

Triphala is made from the fruits of three trees that grow in India and the Middle East (Sanskrit term triphala literally means three fruits). The fruits are dried, ground into powder, and blended in a precise manner developed by the ancient Ayurvedic herbalists. The three herbs that comprise triphala have potent healing properties:

Amalaki (Amla, Indian gooseberry, emblica officinalis) is considered one of the best rejuvenating herbs in Ayurveda. It's a strong natural antioxidant containing 20 times more vitamin C than orange juice. In India, amalaki is known as the nurse herb because it strengthens the immune system and cools the body.

Haritaki (Harada, terminalia chebula) has the strongest laxative powers of the three fruits contained in triphala. In Tibet, haritaki is so highly revered that in their sacred paintings, it's often depicted in the extended palm of the medicine Buddha. The herb also has astringent properties.

Bibhitaki (Behada, terminalia belerica) is an excellent rejuvenative with both laxative and astringent properties. It eliminates excess mucous in the body and provides support for a variety of lung conditions, including bronchitis and asthma.

Triphala gently cleanses and detoxifies the body without irritating the colon. In addition, unlike other laxatives that deplete the body, triphala actually strengthens and nourishes the bones, nervous system, and reproductive organs. In recent years, a number of research studies have found new uses for this herb, including reducing mutated cellular growth. It is also found to have high antioxidant qualities, and is even useful for noise and stress induced conditions.

Triphala is taken as a general health tonic, useful for all body types and a variety of conditions. It is commonly recommended to tone and strengthen the digestive system, particularly in cases of weak digestion and constipation. Triphala is a gentle laxative that can be used daily and is not habit-forming, and has no adverse effects on the intestinal flora (the microorganisms that aid digestion). It is said to improve the function of the stomach and intestines, and is also useful for cases of excess stomach acid. Triphala regulates and detoxifies the bowels, improves overall health by increasing the efficiency and absorption of digestion, and reduces gas. It has a balancing effect on the body's metabolism, and is prescribed to restore appetite. The herbal compound also helps the body to eliminate excess fat, by improving metabolism. Because of its gentle properties, triphala is recommended as a digestive aid for the elderly and for those with sensitive stomachs.

In addition to restoring the balance of the digestive tract, triphala is used as a blood builder and purifier, and may increase red blood cell count and hemoglobin levels. Because of its balancing effect on blood sugar levels it may be useful for those with diabetes and hypoglycemia. It also has anti-cholesterol and anti-mucus properties in the body. Triphala is believed to strengthen the kidneys and liver, and can be helpful for hepatitis sufferers.

Raw Triphala has a strong taste. It is recommended to drink it with juice or to place honey on the tongue before swallowing. It is often possible to find Triphala in pill form however, the powdered form is much more effective and can be mixed thoroughly in a small amount of cold or warm water or simmered in water and drunk as a medicinal tea. When used as a digestive tonic or laxative, it is best taken in the evening, about two hours after eating, and at least 30 minutes before bedtime. No food should be eaten for one and a half hours after ingestion.

Some possible benefits of our raw organic Triphala powder may include:

● Feeling pure, light & revitalized

Our raw Organic Barley Grass is one of the most nutrient rich foods in nature. Barley grass is rich in protein and contains 20 amino acids, 12 vitamins and 13 minerals. The nutrition of barley grass is similar to that of wheatgrass though some prefer the taste. Our raw organic barley grass powder is an easy way to get the nutrition of this incredible green food.

Barley Grass Powder should not be confused with Barley Grass Juice Powder. Barley Grass Powder is made by drying the whole grass leaf and then milling it into a fine powder. Barley Grass Juice Powder is made by first juicing the Barley Grass and removing all of the cellulose so a pure juice concentrate is left. Then the juice is dried into a powder.

Organic barley grass is a powerful detoxifier of the liver, blood, and gastrointestinal tract while chemically neutralizing toxins. The enzymes and amino acids found in barley grass may help protect the body from free radicals and carcinogens. Barley grass also stimulates metabolism and the body's enzyme systems by enriching the blood and increasing red blood-cell count. It may also aid in reducing blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways throughout the body.

Barley grass is rich in protein and includes all eight of the essential amino acids, as well as 12 of the remaining 16 non essential amino acids. Besides containing most vitamins, minerals and an excellent source of living chlorophyll, organic barley grass has three other special components which make it particularly valuable:

● Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
● P4D1 Enzyme
● Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) - The aging process has been directly linked to decreasing amounts of SOD in our system. Increased amounts of SOD cause our body to repair itself quicker. Additionally SOD acts as an anti-inflammatory.

P4D1 Enzyme - P4D1 has been found to do two things in the human body. It is the first known substance to actually stimulate repair of DNA molecules. It is possible that disease cells can be repaired with P4D1 so that when they reproduce they will actually produce good cells. P4D1 has also been shown in laboratory tests to eat the protein sheath off a cancer cell so that the white blood cells can attack and destroy them.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) - GAGs form an important component in the synovial fluid lubricant in body joints, and chondroitins which can be found in connective tissues, cartilage and tendons.

Some possible benefits of our raw organic Barley Grass powder may include:

● Improving energy
● High antioxidants levels
● Improving digestion & regularity
● Alkalizing the internal body
● Rebuild the immune system
● Providing raw building blocks for the hair, skin & nails
● Internal cleansing properties
● Promoting clear thinking
● Anti-aging properties

Suggested Use: Mix 1 tablespoon with juice, yogurt or add to your favorite smoothie.

Organic raw Beet Root Powder provides a wide range of nutrients, but its most significant phytochemical is betaine. This plant chemical helps the liver and kidneys recycle the amino acid methionine to maintain the body's stores of s-adenosyl-methionine, more commonly known as SAM-e. Betaine also helps the liver process fat. This prevents the accumulation of fatty tissues in the liver (steatosis), especially in heavy drinkers, and it also helps moderate triglycerides and LDL cholesterol in the blood. The American Heart Association, recommends beet juice to promote healthy blood pressure.

Organic Beet Root Powder is a wonderful cleansing and nourishing tonic that builds the blood, particularly improving the blood quality for menstruating women. It also normalizes the blood's pH balance (reducing acidity) and purifies the blood by flushing away fatty deposits and improving circulation. Further supporting its role as a blood purifier, Beet Root has been used to detoxify and heal the liver and spleen.

Beet roots are rich in potassium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and calcium as well as vitamin A, B and C. Beets are a unique source of phytonutrients called betalains which give beets their dark red color. Betanin and vulgaxanthin are the two best studied betalains from beets, and both have been shown to provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support.

Some possible benefits of our Raw Organic Beet Root Powder may include:

● Diuretic effects
● Purifying the blood
● Betaine - plays an important role in the health of the cardiovascular system

Ashwagandha shows remarkable promise for increasing brain function. It has been used in India for people with mental deficits in geriatric patients, including amnesia. Researchers have found that ashwagandha can increase acetylcholine receptor activity. Increased acetylcholine receptor capacity might partly explain the cognition-enhancing and memory-improving effects of extracts from ashwagandha observed in animals and humans. Further studies indicate that ashwagandha stimulates the growth of axons and dendrites.

According to scientists, Ashwagandha most likely affects multiple body systems to promote emotional well-being, mental sharpness and physical endurance. Pharmacological studies indicate the mechanism of action is Withaferin-A, a primary Withanolide in Ashwagandha, which stimulates neurotransmitter pathways in the brain. This effect enhances memory and other cognitive processes. Scientists have yet to pinpoint the specific functions supporting immune system response and other regulatory body systems, though it is believed that all the active glycowithanolides that derive from the plant work together to alleviate anxiety and panic, mild mood swings, lack of mental clarity/focus and mental/physical fatigue.

Research has also found that raw ashwagandha increases the levels of three naturally powerful antioxidants: superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. The effects of these antioxidants may explain the reported anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects produced in experimental animal and in clinical situations.

These findings are consistent with the therapeutic use of ashwagandha root in Ayurveda as an overall health promoter. The root is primarily recognized for its adaptogenic properties. An adaptogen is a physiological agent with the ability to naturally increase the body's resistance to emotional and physical stresses. Ayurvedic practitioners traditionally use Ashwagandha to promote gentle relaxation, emotional balance, and sexual vitality

Some possible benefits of our raw organic Ashwagandha root powder may include:

● Improving memory & mental function
● Benefits for occasional panic attacks & anxiety
● Battling depression & stabilizing mild to moderate mood changes
● Combating mental or physical fatigue
● Enhancing immune-system support

Suggested Use: 2 teaspoons daily.

Tamanu oil, or Calophyllum Inophyllum, is from a tree found in Southeast Asia, mostly in Polynesia. The tamanu tree has a thick bark and small leaves. The tree produces a small fragrant fruit that has a large nut hull inside. By drying the nut and allowing it to mature, the nut produces a sticky oil that is pressed out of the hull. Tamanu oil has long been used for its healing abilities as a topical aid.

The extraordinary healing properties of Tamanu Oil have been long admired by the natives of Melanesian and Polynesian cultures. They regard this amazing oil as one of nature's sacred gifts and sometimes refer to it as the Sacred Oil Of Tamanu or Green Gold!

The real healing power of this traditional topical oil is its unique ability to promote the formation of new tissue, thereby accelerating wound healing and the growth of healthy skin (anti-aging). The scientific term for this process is "cicatrization". Your skin is the largest organ in your body. It is made up of 3 different layers - the Epidermis, Dermis, and Hypodermis. Within these 3 layers are various other layers, all with specific functions. Tamanu Oil effectively speeds up the healing process by penetrating deep into the underlying connective tissues of the skin and promoting the growth of new skin tissue.

Traditionally the islanders and local healers (klevas) use Tamanu Oil to promote the formation of new tissue, thereby accelerating wound healing and the growth of healthy skin.

Organic raw Tamanu oil, extracted from the fruit of the Calophyllum inophyllum tree, is renowned for its remarkable skin healing properties. It is naturally anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. It can be applied liberally to cuts, scrapes, burns, insect bites and stings, abrasions, bed sores, stretch marks, acne and acne scars, psoriasis, shingles, diabetic sores, anal fissures, sunburn, rashes, dry or scaly skin, blisters, eczema, herpes sores, athletes foot, and the reduction of foot and body odour (makes for a fantastic, natural underarm deodorant) and many other skin conditions. Tamanu oil fades stretch marks with incredible results. It also works miracles on scar tissue, making scars look less unsightly. Tamanu oil promotes new tissue formation, accelerating healing and healthy skin growth. Tamanu oil absorbs rapidly into the skin, adding a youthful glow, without any residual greasiness or oiliness. Because of tamanu oil's high phospholipid and glycolipid content is possesses potent anti-wrinkle properties. Tamanu is a traditional medicine in the Polynesian Islands and Madagascar, and its healing capacity and versatility are now better understood in the modern world. The Ni Vanuatu also massage Tamanu Oil into the skin for the relief of neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica and even baby nappy rash. Daily application of tamanu oil may keep your skin feeling and looking young.

Research shows that Oil of Tamanu contains three basic classes of lipids; neutral lipids, glycolipids, and phospholipids. The oil also contains a unique fatty acid called calophyllic acid, and a novel antibiotic lactone and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent called calophyllolide. These and other components of Tamanu oil, including anti-inflammatory coumarins, account for some of the oil's beneficial activity. Based on the known activity of known constituents, it is clear that oil of Tamanu possesses antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. The unique cicatrising properties of Tamanu Oil are not yet explained in existing scientific literature, though this activity is established and accepted. The same is true for Tamanu's anti-neuralgic properties. Tamanu Oil is well documented for its relief of neuritis, but the constituents responsible and their modes of activity are not yet known.

The Tamanu tree blooms twice in a year, and has aromatic white flowers that create clusters of yellow-skinned fruits. The fruit has a large nut within it. The harvested fruits are slightly crushed to extract the nuts. The nuts are then sun-dried for about eight weeks. During this time, the nuts turn brown and lose about a third of their original weight. Inside their oil content becomes very high. Tamanu Oil is not present in the fruit when it falls from the tree but forms during the drying period. Once dried, the kernel is mechanically cold-pressed to extract the precious oil. The resulting tamanu oil has a rich texture, a greenish-amber color and a sweet nutty aroma.

Some possible benefits of our raw organic Tamanu oil may include:

● Fading stretch marks
● Reducing arthritis pain
● Reducing body odour
● Relieving insect bites & itching
● Reducing swelling & inflammation
● Soothing & aiding wound healing of severe cuts, burns, blisters, & sunburns

Ancient, beautiful, and mysterious, Himalayan salt is one of the most valued elements on Earth and hails from the valleys and rivers which lie deep within the Himalaya Mountain Range. It has been coveted for centuries due to its beauty, rich mineral content and versatility.

Himalayan salt is incredibly unique - in appearance, texture, history and usage. This amazing salt carries a vast array of benefits both when used in the bath and when used in food. It softens the skin, soothes aches and pains, and contains up to 84 minerals that balance and detoxify the body. Himalayan salt is the one of the purest, most natural salts in the world. This pinkish salt is mined from ancient sea beds inside the Himalayan mountains. It is completely unrefined and comes to you in its raw, natural form.

It also contains trace amounts of 84 minerals and elements including Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Iodine, Zinc and Sodium.

The Lucuma fruit has been honored both spiritually and culinary since ancient times in the Peruvian culture. Today, lucuma is one of the regions most enjoyed foods, and is a popular ice cream flavor among Europeans and South Americans. A wonderfully versatile sweetener that is chock-full of maple-like flavor, a little lucuma powder blended into a smoothie, ice cream, pudding or pie filling makes for a truly delicious experience. And though lucuma is most famous for its sweet flavor profile, its impressively low sugar content and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals make it the perfect compromise between the sweet tooth and the waistline. Raw organic Lucuma is especially abundant in beta-carotene, niacin and iron with significant amounts of calcium and phosphorus.

Lucuma naturally falls to the ground at maturity, but still needs several days to fully ripen and peak in flavor. After a patient wait, the fruit is peeled, pitted, dehydrated and finally milled into a fine whole fruit powder. This product has only one ingredient: whole Lucuma fruit and is raw, organic, and gluten-free.

Raw organic Lucuma is an excellent source of carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals. It has lots of beta-carotene, niacin (B3) and iron.

Discover the flavorful sensation of lucuma. Enjoy it by itself or mix it in your favorite treat. Try combining it with some raw cacao nibs, vanilla beans, coconut butter and blend into a creamy delight.

Cacao, 'the food of the gods' has been used for centuries to boost energy and enhance mood. With over 300 identifiable chemical compounds, cacao remains one of the most complex and pleasurable foods on the planet. In its raw form, cacao contains anandamide (a euphoric substance), arginine (a natural aphrodisiac), and tryptophan (a natural anti-depressant). By raising the neurotransmitters in our brain, cacao promotes an overall feeling of well being. In essence, raw chocolate makes you happy!

What's the Difference between Cacao and Cocoa? The official name of the chocolate tree is Theobroma Cacao. Some experts believe that over time the word "cacao" became Anglicized, and most likely through common error people started calling it "cocoa". Now, with the rebirth of old-style, artisanal chocolate there is a movement to reclaim the beans rightful name: cacao (pronounced Ka-Kow). Today, the two words are often used inter-changeably.

Cacao and dark chocolate has been shown to have excellent antioxidant levels exceeding red wine, green tea, and other exotic fruits and vegetables. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values of dark chocolate (13,120 per 100 grams) exceed those of prunes (5,700), blueberries (2,400), strawberries (1,540) and spinach (1,260). But adding milk to chocolate does not help, in fact, it seems to block the activity of the phytochemicals responsible for the powerful antioxidant capacity of cacao.

Chaga Mushroom is prized by natural health practitioners who consider it far superior to anything else in nature. The Chaga Mushroom has been appreciated for thousands of years, dating as far back as the 16th century traditionally used in Eastern European folk medicine as a natural remedy for tuberculosis of the bones, gastritis, and ulcers. Worldwide it is considered 'The Medicinal King of Herbs' and a precious gift from nature. Chaga Mushroom draws its nutrients out of living birch trees, rather than from the ground. The amazing properties of betulin or betulinic acid, a chemical isolated from birch trees, is now being studied for use as a chemotherapy agent. Chaga contains large amounts of betulinic acid in a form that can be ingested orally, as well as the full spectrum of immune-stimulating phytochemicals found in other medicinal mushrooms such as maitake mushroom and shiitake mushroom.

For centuries Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners have used Chaga Mushroom for general health, longevity, beauty, and as a remedy for the most serious health conditions. In Asian culture, the Chaga Mushroom is referred to as the 'Mushroom of Immortality' used to boost immunity, supporting the body's ability to eliminate toxins while stimulating the nervous system. Raw Chaga Mushroom is a wonderful source of Melanin providing youthful looks and vibrant skin.

Today, the Chaga Mushroom is commonly used to combat hypertension, viral infections, and support a healthy cardiovascular system. Chaga Mushroom contains large amounts of phytonutrients and immune activating compounds such as Beta Glycans and polysaccharides which enhance immune function stimulating the body's ability to set up cellular defenses. It has even been said that the Chaga Mushroom can balance metabolism and one's chi or vital energy levels.

The Chaga Mushroom is native to Western Siberia, Canada and USA and typically grows on the trunks of birch trees. Unlike other mushrooms with gills or caps, the Chaga is has pores and is irregularly formed looking much like a burnt piece of charcoal. The Chaga is a parasitic mushroom that feeds on the white part of birch tree bark where the antimutagenic action of the molecules inhibits free-radical oxidation producing interferons enhancing DNA repair. This white part of the birch bark is also where the Chaga Mushroom obtains the powerful betulinic acid which may fight abnormal and uncontrolled cell division.

Raw Chaga Mushroom is 100% natural and harvested in the wild. It contain over 215 phytonutrients, has 25 to 50 times more SOD antioxidants than Agarigus, CoQ 10, vitamin C and wild blueberries, and is rated among the highest on the ORAC.

Organic Brown Mustard seeds are an excellent source of selenium a nutrient which has been shown to help reduce the severity of asthma, decrease some of the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and help prevent cancer. They also qualified as a good source of magnesium. Like selenium, magnesium has been shown to help reduce the severity of asthma, to lower high blood pressure, to restore normal sleep patterns in women having difficulty with the symptoms of menopause, to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks, and to prevent heart attack in patients suffering from atherosclerosis or diabetic heart disease. Mustard seeds also qualify as a very good source of omega-3 fatty acids as well as a good source of iron, calcium, zinc, manganese, magnesium, protein, niacin and dietary fiber.

In addition to being mineral rich, brown mustard seeds contain plentiful amounts of phytonutrients called glucosinolates. The seeds also contain myrosinase enzymes that can break apart the glucosinolates into other phytonutrients called isothiocyanates. The isothiocyanates in mustard seed (and other Brassicas) have been repeatedly studied for their anti-cancer effects. In animal studies - and particularly in studies involving the gastrointestinal tract and colorectal cancer - intake of isothiocyanates has been shown to inhibit growth of existing cancer cells and to be protective against the formation of such cells.

Suggested Use: Soak 3 tablespoons of seeds in cool 70°F filtered water for 8 to 12 hours. Then rinse and drain well. Keep seeds out of direct sunlight and rinse and drain thoroughly with cool water every 8 to 12 hours for the next 3 days. On day 4 relocate your sprouts if necessary to get indirect sun light. Continue to rinse and drain every 8 to 12 hours. On day 5 or 6 when sprouts have reached the desired length, remove seed hulls, rinse and dry with a paper towel. Once dry, put in a sealed container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Yields approximately 2 cups (8 oz) of sprouts.

Raw Bacopa Monnieri (also known as Bacopa Monniera or Brahmi) is the best herb to increase memory naturally without side effects. Recent scientific studies show that Bacopa Monnieri (Brahmi) supports both short and long term memory function as well as enhances learning, concentration, and healthy function of the nervous system. Special alkaloids in Bacopa Monnieri called bacopasides help nourish and increase the coordination of brain neurons combating mental fatigue and leading to increased concentration and stamina. Bacopa is not only useful against common everyday forgetfulness, but many students use it to help boost memory function during exams. When used for this purpose, it is optimal to start taking bacopa 1 month prior to the exam.

Organic raw Bacopa Monnieri also has antioxidant properties which support cardiovascular health. Raw Bacopa Monnieri is also used to improve respiratory function and may increase thyroid hormone levels. It has also traditionally been used to alleviate symptoms associated with anxiety. Bacopa Monnieri has been used in the Ayurvedic system of medicine for centuries and is considered a complete natural remedy for the mind.

Bacopa Monnieri is an organically grown perennial herb whose habitat includes wetlands and muddy shores. It can grow 10" to 20" high and produces white or bluish flowers. Bacopa has the ability to grow either on the ground or under water and is often times used as an aquarium plant. Bacopa Monnieri is harvested in the fall and milled into a fine powder that is best known as Brahmi and is widely used in India.

Apricot kernel refers to the seed of the fruit of Prunus armeniaca, more commonly known as the apricot tree. Because the seed is encased in an exceptionally hard shell, it is often called a 'stone.'

Raw Apricot seed kernels are one of nature's highest sources of amygdalin sometimes referred to as Vitamin B-17 or Laetrile (laevomandelonitrile). It is contained in hundreds of foods, but those particularly rich in Amygdalin have largely disappeared from our Western diet.

Apricot seed kernels do contain cyanide, but this is also found in Vitamin B12, almonds, strawberries, wild blackberries, wild crabapples, elderberries, apple seeds, cherry seeds, nectarine seeds, peach seeds, pear seeds, plum seeds, prune seeds, bamboo, alfalfa, eucalyptus and a host of other foods we consume. The cyanide is locked into the Amygdalin, so it is chemically inert and completely harmless to normal cells. In the same way, common salt (sodium chloride) is safe to eat despite containing the poison chlorine. Amygdalin is actually less toxic than salt and sugar.

Amygdalin was first extracted and named over 100 years ago and has been in pharmacological dictionaries since that time as being non-toxic. The assertion that taking Apricot Kernels poses a health risk is simple ignorance by pharmaceutical companies. Apricot Kernels are a staple part of the diet for many peoples, and thousands of others all over the world choose to take Apricot Kernels for the health benefits.

The Hunza people in Pakistan who live healthy productive lives well into their 100s are renowned for being some of the healthiest peoples in the world. Of course, one of the key factors is the mineral rich water they drink and their diet. One of their favorite foods and an important part of the Hunza people's diet is Apricots. They are eaten fresh in the summer and dried for the winter. The kernels are removed, ground and roasted; the oil is used for cooking, dressings and as a facial lotion. Apricot Kernel oil is healthful in tightening the skin. On average, The Hunzas eat between 50 to 75 milligrams of Vitamin B17 a day but in the Western World, most wouldn't consume this amount in a year!

Alternative health practitioners often use apricot seeds for respiratory issues such as bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, coughing and wheezing.

Apricot seed kernel powder can be taken internally for nutritional support and also works wonderfully as a mild exfoliating scrub for the skin.

Some possible benefits of our Raw Apricot Seed Kernel Powder may include:

● Boosting the immune system
● Relieving arthritis pain
● Excellent natural source of vitamin B-17
● Strengthening our ability to resist infections like colds & flu
● Lowering blood pressure
● Reducing respiratory issues such as bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, coughing & wheezing
● Improving general health

Do not use apricot kernel preparations during pregnancy or to self-treat any condition without checking with your physician.

Suggested Use: Mix 1/2 teaspoon with juice, yogurt or add to your favorite smoothie.

Ashwagandha shows remarkable promise for increasing brain function. It has been used in India for people with mental deficits in geriatric patients, including amnesia. Researchers have found that ashwagandha can increase acetylcholine receptor activity. Increased acetylcholine receptor capacity might partly explain the cognition-enhancing and memory-improving effects of extracts from ashwagandha observed in animals and humans. Further studies indicate that ashwagandha stimulates the growth of axons and dendrites.

According to scientists, Ashwagandha most likely affects multiple body systems to promote emotional well-being, mental sharpness and physical endurance. Pharmacological studies indicate the mechanism of action is Withaferin-A, a primary Withanolide in Ashwagandha, which stimulates neurotransmitter pathways in the brain. This effect enhances memory and other cognitive processes. Scientists have yet to pinpoint the specific functions supporting immune system response and other regulatory body systems, though it is believed that all the active glycowithanolides that derive from the plant work together to alleviate anxiety and panic, mild mood swings, lack of mental clarity/focus and mental/physical fatigue.

Research has also found that raw ashwagandha increases the levels of three naturally powerful antioxidants: superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. The effects of these antioxidants may explain the reported anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects produced in experimental animal and in clinical situations.

These findings are consistent with the therapeutic use of ashwagandha root in Ayurveda as an overall health promoter. The root is primarily recognized for its adaptogenic properties. An adaptogen is a physiological agent with the ability to naturally increase the body's resistance to emotional and physical stresses. Ayurvedic practitioners traditionally use Ashwagandha to promote gentle relaxation, emotional balance, and sexual vitality

Some possible benefits of our raw organic Ashwagandha root powder may include:

● Improving memory & mental function
● Benefits for occasional panic attacks & anxiety
● Battling depression & stabilizing mild to moderate mood changes
● Combating mental or physical fatigue
● Enhancing immune-system support

Suggested Use: 2 teaspoons daily.

Unlike many coconut oils on the market, our raw centrifuged organic extra virgin coconut oil comes from fresh coconuts that do not undergo a refining process. Many coconut oils go through either the quick drying or wet-milling processes to extract the oil from the coconut. Instead, we use centrifugal extraction to derive the oil from the coconut. This method of extraction requires no heat at all and produces a raw organic virgin coconut oil that is absolutely amazing!

Our raw organic coconuts are harvested at the perfect age and are processed the same day on the same USDA certified organic coconut plantation where they are grown. The coconuts are de-husked and grated, and the fresh coconut meat is centrifuged to extract the oil. This process preserves the live enzymes, lauric acid, and all the other immune system building nutrients. Except for picking and opening the nut, there is little human handling in our process. Stainless steel mechanical equipment is used in order to provide a sanitary controlled environment in the processing plant. The coconut oil is strained and immediately bottled. No chemicals or preservatives are added. You only get pure unadulterated organic virgin coconut oil.

Organic raw extra virgin coconut oil is known throughout the world for its nutritional value and exciting flavor. You will love ours! It is created through the centrifuge extraction, of freshly picked coconuts. This process creates a mild, sweet oil with a light coconut taste that is smooth and delicious. Best of all it is certified organic. It's wonderful by the spoon as a supplement, as a salad dressing oil, or as one of the best oils on the market for cooking.

Raw organic Coconut oil is of special interest because it possesses healing properties far beyond that of any other dietary oil and is extensively used in traditional medicine among Asian and Pacific populations. Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be the cure for all illness. The coconut palm is so highly valued by them as both a source of food and medicine that it is called "The Tree of Life."

In the past coconut oil was believed to be unhealthy due to it's high saturated fat content. However, it has now been proven that fat contained in coconut is unlike any other fat on Earth and has high nutritional value. Why is Coconut Oil Different? Coconut oil has a unique fat molecule; this is what makes this oil different from most fats we consume. The Coconut Research Center explains, "The vast majority of fats and oils in our diets, whether they are saturated or unsaturated or come from animals or plants, are composed of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). Some 98 to 100% of all the fatty acids you consume are LCFA." Coconut oil is known to have MCFA or medium-chain fatty acids, also referred to as MCT or medium-chain triglycerides. MCFA are metabolized by the human body differently because of their size; unlike the saturated and unsaturated fats in vegetable oils, eggs, milk and meats, which contain LCFA, coconut oil is a rare dietary source of MCFA and therefore highly beneficial to the body and overall health. Only recently has modern medical science unlocked the secrets to coconut's amazing healing powers.

A recent double-blind clinical trial put coconut oil to the test against soybean oil. In the featured 12-week long study, researchers evaluated the effects of coconut oil and soybean oil on the biochemical profiles and waist circumference on 40 obese women, aged 20-40. Belly fat, known as visceral fat, is the type of fat linked to heart disease, diabetes and stroke, among many other chronic diseases.

Divided into two groups of 20 participants each, the women received a daily supplement of 30ml (about two tablespoons) of either soybean oil or coconut oil. They also followed a balanced low-calorie diet, and walked for 50 minutes per day. These are the results at the end of the clinical trial:

The coconut oil group presented:

● Increased levels of HDL (good cholesterol)
● Decreased LDL/HDL ratio
● Reduced waist circumference/abdominal obesity

The soybean oil group presented:

● Increased total cholesterol
● Increased LDL (bad cholesterol)
● Increased LDL/HDL ratio
● Decreased HDL (good cholesterol)
● No reduction in waist circumference/abdominal obesity

The authors concluded:

"It appears that dietetic supplementation with coconut oil does not cause dyslipidemia (an abnormal amount of cholesterol and/or fat in your blood) and seems to promote a reduction in abdominal obesity."

The presence of lauric acid in coconut oil is another reason it is known for having super nutritional value. Lauric acid is a fatty acid also found in human breast milk, palm kernel oil, and bay leaf. The article, How a PR Campaign Led to Unhealthy Diets by Beatrice Trum Hunter, published in the August 2003 issue of Consumer's Research, volume 86 no. 8, states, "researchers demonstrated that coconut oil reduces the risk of atherosclerosis, heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative conditions. It helps prevent bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, as a result of its antimicrobial component, lauric acid, which is found solely in coconut oil, palm kernel oil, bay leaf, and in breast milk."

Mulberries contains moranoline, which delays the absorption of carbohydrates and promotes healthy glucose levels already within normal range. The anthocyanins in Mulberry are strong antioxidants and may provide cardiovascular protection, immune enhancement and stress reduction as potential health benefits.

Besides being an antioxidant resveratrol is an anti-mutagen and a strong anti-inflammatory. An anti-mutagen is a compound that inhibits the mutation of healthy normal cells into cancerous growths and tumors. Chronic inflammation is believed to be at the root of many diseases including heart disease and cancer. Synthetic anti-inflammatories cannot be taken on a regular basis to prevent chronic inflammation without risking other health problems. Natural anti-inflammatories, on the other hand, are found primarily in plant foods and can be consumed on a regular basis throughout a person's life with no side effects. Since it is one of the natural anti-inflammatories, it is believed to be heart healthy and that some of the possible benefits of resveratrol may include improvement of chronic inflammation and other diseases associated with chronic inflammation, anti-aging effect on cells due to combating free radical damage.

Mulberry has long been used in traditional medicines. Among its many uses, it has been given as a tonic for kidneys, fatigue, anemia and weakness. Clinical research has shown that Mulberry can provide multiple health benefits, including helping to promote healthy glucose levels; encouraging healthy cellular replication and membrane stability; promoting healthy cholesterol; and controlling the digestion of carbohydrates.

Chewy and soft with a fig-like crunch. Our whole, sun-dried, white mulberries are nature's version of candy.

Tongkat ali, also known as pasak bumi or longjack, is a root traditionally used in Southeast Asia to increase libido and sexual performance. Tongkat ali is thought to work by naturally increasing free testosterone levels. Other reported effects include decreased body fat, increased muscle mass, increased energy, enhanced immune system and mental clarity. Both men and women can experience the remarkable benefits of this amazing herb.

For centuries, people of Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand have used the Tongkat ali (longjack) root as a powerful aphrodisiac and the powder of this root is still widely used in these countries today. This is a sought after supplement for athletes and bodybuilders due to its ability to increase testosterone in the blood by releasing metabolically inactive testosterone from binding proteins. Unbound or free testosterone typically makes up only about 2% of the testosterone in the bloodstream, so even minor changes in free testosterone levels can have a profound impact.

Testosterone is one of the most important hormones in both men and women's bodies. Benefits of tongkat ali for men include: increased libido and sexual performance, longer harder erections, increased muscle mass and muscle tone, reduced body fat and increased sperm count. Although women's testosterone levels may only be 10% of a man's, it's function is critical in maintaining overall health and hormonal balance. Women who take tongkat ali (longjack) typically experience increased sexual desire and sensitivity, increased energy, improved muscle tone and bone density, reduced body fat, and relief from menstrual symptoms.

Other reported benefits of tongkat ali root include boosting energy levels. Tongkat ali works to increase levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) the chemical responsible for nearly all energy production in the body. Tongkat ali also supports healthy lipids levels in the blood acting to increase levels of high density lipoproteins and good cholesterol (HDL Cholesterol). Tongkat ali may also be useful for increasing levels of the human growth hormone which naturally decline as we age.

Some possible benefits of our raw Tongkat Ali powder may include:

● Increasing libido & sexual function
● Increasing muscle mass
● Increasing levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
● Boosting energy levels
● Promoting healthy lipid levels
● Reducing body fat
● Elevating mood
● Anti-aging qualities

Our Tongkat Ali Powder comes from sustainably harvested trees natively grown in Indonesia. No chemicals or pesticides are used in the cultivation. Our tongkat ali powder is a pure whole herb powder - not an extract powder.

Suggested Use: Take 1 - 2 teaspoons daily. Take straight or steep 1 teaspoon in 6 ounces of boiling water for 10 minutes.

Our Mucuna Pruriens Extract Powder is a 15% extract (3:1 ratio) meaning each serving contains a 15% concentration of L-Dopa.

Mucuna Pruriens Seeds are a natural source of L-Dopa which can help improve mood, as well as boost energy and endurance levels. L-Dopa in mucuna is a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine. L-dopa converts into dopamine, an important brain chemical involved in mood, movement, enhances sexual urge and interest. Traditionally Mucuna has been used as an effective aphrodisiac to increase the libido in both men and women. Mucuna Pruriens Seed has been used increase sexual stamina, sensation, libido, and blood vessel dilation for maximum engorgement.

L-Dopa contains natural secretagogues which may support the body's ability to stimulate the natural release of growth hormone. The blood carries the dopamine into the brain, where it naturally increases HGH production from the pituitary gland. The increased dopamine levels also optimize the production of other hormones, including testosterone, leading to increased sex drive and improved sexual performance for both men and women, beneficial in stimulating muscle growth, as well as burning fat from fat cells.

Mucuna Pruriens can improve sexual behavior, libido, and performance. In an aphrodisiac study done at College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manipal, Mucuna Pruriens when administered in a dose of 75 mg/kg body weight daily, increased the sexual activity of male albino rats considerably by stimulating testosterone level. A ten fold increase in the mounting frequency was observed. The research shows that sexually active animals had increased sexual desire and improved sexual performance after 21 to 28 days. However, impotent animals did not derived any benefits.

Another research study shows that Mucuna Pruriens heightened arousal and increased sexual activity to a moderate extent but also sustains it for a longer time as indicated by the increase in Ejaculation Latency (control group = 194.16 vs Mucuna Pruriens group = 317.00) and decrease in Post Ejaculatory Interval (control group = 362.83 vs Mucuna Pruriens group = 322.46). Mucuna Pruriens is shown to possess central depressant activity. The delay in ejaculation could be due to toning down of hypersensitivity of genitals and hyperexcitation of the regulatory centers. This study show that Mucuna Pruriens can be used to improve libido and delay premature ejaculation.

The total alkaloids from Mucuna Pruriens comprise of five alkaloids (purienine and purienidine), are found to stimulate the secretion of testosterone to ensure greater availability to gonads. This leads to increase sperm count and increase testes size. The testes section of the mice shows increase sperm count at the 20th day, and even higher sperm count on the 30th day. Spermatogenesis is governed by testosterone. The alkaloids in Mucuna Pruriens increase testosterone level in seminiferous tubules either by action on pituitary function or on leydig's cells that store testosterone.

Some possible benefits of our Mucuna Pruriens Seed Extract Powder may include:

● Increasing libido & sexual performance for men & women
● Improving mood & sense of well-being / antidepressant properties
● Increasing energy levels
● Boosting natural release of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) & Testosterone
● Increasing bone density & fighting osteoporosis
● Improving skin texture & appearance
● Fighting Parkinson disease
● Supporting healthy blood sugar levels
● Strengthening immune system
● Regeneration of organs (heart, kidney, liver, lungs)
● Improving sleep (promotes deep sleep & lucid dreams)
● Increasing sperm count
● Reducing body fat & decreasing cellulite
● Antioxidant properties
● Decreasing wrinkles
● Improving cholesterol profile
● Increasing lean muscle mass
● Potential use in the prophylactic treatment of snakebites

Suggested Use: Begin by taking 1/4 teaspoon each day and if no negative reactions occur work up to 1 teaspoon daily. Mix with water, juice, yogurt, add to a smoothie, or infuse into a tea.

Mucuna Pruriens is an established herbal remedy in some societies. However, due to the lack of robust scientific evidence as to its safety and effectiveness, its use in the U.S. requires medical supervision.

Tongkat ali, also known as pasak bumi or longjack, is a root traditionally used in Southeast Asia to increase libido and sexual performance. Tongkat ali is thought to work by naturally increasing free testosterone levels. Other reported effects include decreased body fat, increased muscle mass, increased energy, enhanced immune system and mental clarity. Both men and women can experience the remarkable benefits of this amazing herb.

For centuries, people of Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand have used the Tongkat ali (longjack) root as a powerful aphrodisiac and the powder of this root is still widely used in these countries today. This is a sought after supplement for athletes and bodybuilders due to its ability to increase testosterone in the blood by releasing metabolically inactive testosterone from binding proteins. Unbound or free testosterone typically makes up only about 2% of the testosterone in the bloodstream, so even minor changes in free testosterone levels can have a profound impact.

Testosterone is one of the most important hormones in both men and women's bodies. Benefits of tongkat ali for men include: increased libido and sexual performance, longer harder erections, increased muscle mass and muscle tone, reduced body fat and increased sperm count. Although women's testosterone levels may only be 10% of a man's, it's function is critical in maintaining overall health and hormonal balance. Women who take tongkat ali (longjack) typically experience increased sexual desire and sensitivity, increased energy, improved muscle tone and bone density, reduced body fat, and relief from menstrual symptoms.

Other reported benefits of tongkat ali root include boosting energy levels. Tongkat ali works to increase levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) the chemical responsible for nearly all energy production in the body. Tongkat ali also supports healthy lipids levels in the blood acting to increase levels of high density lipoproteins and good cholesterol (HDL Cholesterol). Tongkat ali may also be useful for increasing levels of the human growth hormone which naturally decline as we age.

Some possible benefits of our raw Tongkat Ali powder may include:

● Increasing libido & sexual function
