Who would benefit from this supplement? Those suffering from
fatigue, stress, immune system problems, chronic fatigue syndrome,
recovery from illness and auto-immune disorders. Ashwagandha is
an adaptogenic herb, similar to ginseng, but it is less heating, “yang”
or simulating than Panax ginseng.
Ashwagandha is known as the “Ayurvedic” Ginseng. It is indicated
for the same types of conditions as Ginseng, but Ashwagandha is not
heating, Yang or stimulating like Ginseng (Panax varieties). It is used
preventatively for those who have difficulty replenishing the energy
they expend, and want to avoid burn out. Burnout from unrelenting
stress can take the form of immune breakdown (colds, flu),
headaches, irritable bowel, blood sugar swings and any other genet-
ic, predispositional or constitutional weakness. Ashwagandha gives
additional life force or Chi to help adapt to the stresses at hand.
It can also be used as a restorative for those who have already
burned out. Ashwagandha, as part of a rejuvenation treatment plan
is effective in chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, debility, recov-
ery from wasting diseases, chemotherapy and helps while one is in
emotional recovery therapy.
Ashwagandha is also indicated specifically in autoimmune disor-
ders. It helps immunity to self modulate. It also has an affinity to
help chronic neuro-muscular disorders such as fibromyalgia and
multiple sclerosis (MS).

Ashwaganda Root (Withania somnifera), Grain Alcohol, Deionized

Astragalus Root
As a long term tonic, Astragalus helps boost deep immunity and
resistance.
Who would benefit from this supplement? Those who get sick eas-
ily or suffer from chronic health problems. It is especially useful for
those undergoing chemotherapy.
“You may already be accustomed to taking echinacea at the first
sign of a cold or flu, or when people around you are getting sick.
How is astragalus different? Like echinacea, Astragalus not only helps
prevent colds and flu but shortens the course of a bug once it has set
in. Astragalus can also be used as a long-term preventive and
restorative herb, both to prevent illness and to renew energy and
vitality once an acute illness hs passed. Scientific evidence salso sug-
gests that astragalus may be one of the most important herbs for
strengthening the immune system against serious diseases, including
cancer.” (McCaleb, Robert, et al, The Encyclopedia of Popular
Herbs, The Herb Research Foundation, Prima Health, 2000)
The indications listed for Astragalus include the following: colds
and flu, chronic respiratory problems such as bronchitis, digestive
ailments, susceptibility to infectious disease, recovery after illness,
general weakness and fatigue, cancer.
The active constituents include polysaccharides (glucans), saponins
(astragalosides), flavonoids and phytosterols, all of which contribute
to the positive actions of Astragalus. It increases the number of stem
cells in bone marrow and lymph tissue and encourages their devel-
opment into active immune cells. It appears to help trigger immune
cells from a "resting" state into heightened activity. One study
showed Astragalus root helps promote and maintain respiratory
health. It also enhances the body's production of immunoglobulin
and stimulates macrophages. Astragalus can help activate T-cells and
natural killer (NK) cells. Astragalus stimulated NK-cell activity of
human peripheral blood lymphocytes and restored steroid-inhibited
NK-cell activity in another study.
Traditionally, many herbalists feel Astragalus is best used when not
acute. In other words, use it in between acute episodes in order to
boost immunity and avoid frequent acute episodes. Astragalus is
indicated for those who get sick frequently, for illnesses that do not
resolve in a reasonable time, for those who get sick time after time.
It is also indicated for those using antibiotics frequently. Think of it as
an herbal flu shot, so take it before the immune season begins, espe-
cially for the elderly, the young and the immune suppressed.

branaceus, 333 mg/ml, certified organic.

Bilberry
Bilberry is a powerful antioxidant, and is traditionally used to sup-
port eye health and visual function.
Who would benefit from taking this herbal supplement? Those
who are concerned about possible eye or vision problems, including
macular degeneration, cataracts.
“Billberry contains potent antioxidants that protect and improve
micro-circulation, that is, the circulation of blood through the capil-
laries. These antioxidant pigments, called anthocyanosides or antho-
cyanins, are similar to those found in red grape skins.
Anthocyanosides protect cells in the circulatory system, keeping
them more flexible to provide better flood flow and oxygen to capil-
lary-rich organs such as the retina of the eye. Researchers have also
found that bilberry affects enzymes responsible for energy produc-
tion in the eye, which is especially important to good vision under
poor light conditions, including night vision.
“Bilberry extract and bilberry constituents appear to improve cir-
culation in young and elderly people alike. Bilberry extract may be
helpful in preventing many of the vision problems associated with
aging. In combination with vitamin E, it can prevent cataracts; it can
also prevent retinopathies (diseases of the retina), including diabetic
retinopathy, and possibly even ordinary nearsightedness (myopia).
Bilberry’s ability to strengthen capillary circulation helps those who
bruise easily, and bilberry extracts are even used before elective sur-
gery to minimize bruising and excessive bleeding. Increasing capil-
lary strength also helps in treating spider veins, varicose veins, and
hemorrhoids.” (McCaleb, Robert, et.al., The Encyclopdedia of
Popular Herbs, the Herb Research Foundation, Prima Health, 2000)
Each 30 drops contains 500 mg of certified organic Bilberry berry.

Heart Disease? NAC,
Inflammation, And Blood
Pressure
Chronic inflammation, including elevated
homocysteine levels, raises chances for heart
disease. Earlier studies found B-vitamins can
lower some inflammation factors, but not
others. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an antioxi-
dant earlier studies found lowered homocys-
teine, and possibly blood pressure.
In this study, researchers reviewed two
NAC studies, one with 40 men with elevated
lipid levels, and the other with 42 men with
normal lipids. Both studies included smokers
and non-smokers. The dose was 1,800 mg of
NAC per day, or a placebo, for four weeks.
Homocysteine levels decreased by 4.1 per-
cent in the placebo groups and by 11.7 per-
cent for those taking NAC, regardless of lipid
levels or smoking. While blood pressure did
not change in the placebo groups, systolic
blood pressure decreased significantly in all
NAC groups. Diastolic blood pressure
decreased in men with elevated lipid levels
who took NAC, but not in men with normal
lipids.
