Many consider Valerian to be the strongest western herbal central nervous system sedative. Valerian will quiet a busy mind. It can promote sleep for those who cannot fall asleep and helps those who wake up in the middle of the night. Repeat the doses as needed within a night to facilitate sleep. The liquid is significantly faster in action compared to a tablet or capsule, which must be digested before it can be absorbed, so liquids are preferred for fastest action. It will help calm one down when going through difficult emotional and mental times or when in therapy and in turmoil. Taking Valerian during the day can make one feel tired, sedated or a little out of it. Thus, caution is advised. This can sometimes be controlled my altering the dosage. Many consider valerian to be the strongest western herbal painkiller as well. It will reduce pain in the musculo-skeletal system (i.e. muscle and joint pain from injury, accidents, work outs, surgeries). Valerian may be enough to control pain after relatively mild surgeries or dental procedures. It is also a smooth muscle relaxer for pain from menstrual cramps, digestive cramps, gall bladder and kidney stones. According to herbalists, Valerian will not remove all pain like a pharmaceutical pain killer but will instead, reduce the percent of pain recognition by 10-50%. Contrary to popular belief, Valium was not derived from Valerian. They sound alike and are used for similar conditions, but are not related. The generally acknowledged active constituent, especially for purposes of standardization, is valerenic acid. Ingredients: Phyto-Tech™ Valerian Root 1:2 contains Fresh Valerian Root, 500 mg/ml. Also available in vegetarian capsule form. Each Phyto-Tech™ Valerian Veggie Cap contains 500 mg of certified organic Valerian Root. White Willow Bark 1:2 White Willow is one of the herbs originally associated with aspirin. White Willow (and Meadowsweet) contains salicin, a substance that reduces pain and inflammation. A chemical derivative of salicin, acetylsalicic acid, is aspirin. Like aspirin, White Willow has a mild “blood thinning” action, which is usually considered beneficial to the heart and circulatory system. 1 fl oz - Product Code: 57044 Who might benefit from this herbal supplement? • Those who need relief from pain, including headache pain, arthritic or joint pain, etc. Ingredients: Phyto-Tech™ White Willow Bark 1:2 contains White Willow Bark, Alcohol, Pure Grain, Water, Pure Deionized Women’s Energy Tonic A combination of herbs that function as adaptogens, hormone balancers and circulatory stimulants. 1 fl oz - Product Code: 57086 Who might benefit from this herbal supplement? • Those women that help optimizing hormone balance; • Those women seeking an increase in energy and vitality; • Those women who need protection against the negative effect of stress; • Those women with mood swings, irritability, fatigue, PMS, stress, low libido and mild depression.

It has also been used for strengthening and stimulating the nervous system and boosting mental and physical endurance. Gotu Kola has been traditionally used as an energizing, cognitive stimulating herb for use in fatigue, cognitive insufficiency and mood disorders.

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements GABA for Memory, Mood and Spatial Awareness I n a first-of-its-kind study, 35 men and women, slightly underweight to obese, but otherwise healthy, drank a beverage containing 25 grams of freeze dried whole wild blueberry powder, equal to one cup of fresh blueberries, or a placebo beverage, along with a breakfast meal. After this single dose at breakfast, doctors tested learning, memory, reaction time, and the ability to maintain attention while being challenged by stressful distractions. All of these functions improved compared to placebo up to eight hours later. In addition, two hours after the meal, those taking blueberry had lower glucose and insulin levels than placebo, which doctors said could help people looking to control blood sugar and metabolism after meals. Reference: European Journal of Nutrition; 2020, s00394-020-02336-8 Blueberry for Cognition and Metabolism I n a world with an aging population, doctors wanted to find ways to prevent cognitive decline. In two separate, coordinated studies, each with 60 healthy adults over age 40, participants took a placebo or, in one study, 100 mg of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and in the second, 200 mg of GABA, per day. After 12 weeks, compared to placebo and to the start of the study, those taking 100 mg of GABA could better identify and analyze space, visual forms within it, and the relationship between the two. Delayed memory—the ability to recall after a period of time—also improved. In addition to these benefits, the 200 mg group saw improvements in non-verbal reasoning, which is the capacity to understand music and math, and to identify objects through touch. Quality of life also improved in both GABA groups, including better physical function, self-reported vitality, and feelings of mental well-being. In addition, those taking 200 mg of GABA had increased levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), which enters the brain, activating brain function, and which doctors believe may be GABA’s mechanism of action.
