This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. 50% Polyphenols/8% Caffeine Used as a dietary supplement, either as a food or drink additive, or encapsulated. Green tea comes mainly from China, Japan, Taiwan and, to a lesser degree, India. The critical difference between green and black tea is that green tea leaves are not allowed to ferment. Green tea is, instead, steamed, rolled and fired. Green tea is the natural dried leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. Black tea is oxidized green tea. The phrase 'Black Tea' is also used as a generic name for all Camelia sinensis teas. The major Black Tea types, from the traditional black tea evergeen (Camellia sinensis), classified according to processing method, include: fermented, or black, tea, producing an amber-coloured, full-flavoured beverage without bitterness; semi-fermented, or oolong, producing a slightly bitter, light brownish-green liquid; and unfermented, or green, tea, resulting in a mild, slightly bitter, pale greenish-yellow beverage. Tea contains only four calories per cup when consumed without added ingredients but is a source of several B-complex vitamins, including B2 and nicotinic acid. Caffeine is responsible for tea's stimulating effect. Flavor is produced by volatile oils, and astringency and color by tannin. Black teas are classified by geographical origin and the size of the processed leaf. Traditional operations result in larger leafy grades and smaller broken grades. The leafy grades are flowery pekoe (FP), orange pekoe (OP), pekoe (P), pekoe souchong (PS), and souchong (S). BOP=Broken Orange pekoe; FOP=Flowery Orange Pekoe; TGFOP-Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe; FTGFOP=Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe. Green tea is not graded similar to black tea but classified according to age, style of the leaf and manufacture, e.g., Gunpowder, Pan-fired, Young Hysson, Bancha, etc. Since green tea, unlike black and oolong tea, is not fermented, the active constituents remain unaltered in the herb. Green tea is bioflavonoid-rich, proven useful for fighting free radical damage in the human body. It has a high content of polyphenols, which are a class of bioflavonoids. Green tea's best studied polyphenol is Epigallocatechin Gallate. Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), protects against digestive and respiratory infections. A solution of 1 mcg per ml of EGCG heavily inhibited influenza virus in vitro. Green tea is beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease as it exerts antioxidant activity, lowers cholesterol and reduces platelet aggregation (stickiness). Green tea extract is very good for the arteries and heart. Additional studies have demonstrated enhanced liver function and immune system function secondary to these polyphenols. EGCG helps block the cancer-promoting actions of carcinogens, ultraviolet light, and metastasis from an original site in the skin, stomach, small intestine, liver or lung. Higher quantities (0.5% to 1

The remarkable antioxidant benefits Green Tea are attributed to its high level of polyphenols.* Of the four primary polyphenols in Green Tea, research reveals that Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most effective. Natrol's Green Tea offers 50% polyphenol content providing 35-40% total catechins. " 500 mg Green Tea Extract " 50% Polyphenols " 10-14% EGCG " 35 mg Caffeine Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) contains catechin polyphenols which possesses powerful antioxidant activity, anti-cancer properties, anti-platelet aggregation activity, collagen stabilization and hepatic support. Green Tea may be used for the treatment of prevention of certain cancers; of the gastrointestinal tract, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, colon, lung, and estrogen related cancers. Also may be useful for arteriosclerosis. Kalyx Fulfillment Center ships only to the USA and Canada.

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture and ointment. For skin problems, the decoction is used both internally and externally. Burdock is also used as a skin ointment. The presence of high amounts of inulin and mucilage may explain Burdocks soothing effects on the skin and gastrointestinal tract. As King's puts it: 'Skin diseases, depending upon a depraved state of the cutaneous tissues and less upon the state of the blood itself, are conditions in which lappa has gained a reputation. It has been particularly praised in psoriasis, its use being long-continued to produce good results.' Bitter constituents in the root may also explain the traditional use of burdock to improve appetite and digestion. The herb seems to act by encouraging bile secretion, an hepatoprotective action that helps the body process water-insoluble fats. Burdock has been shown to reduce liver damage in animal studies. It also contains polyacetylenes that have been shown to have anti-microbial activity. Burdock root and fruit also have the ability to mildly lower blood sugar (hypoglycemic effect). Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Alterative, diuretic and diaphoretic.' 'One of the best blood purifiers. In all skin diseases, it is a certain remedy and has effected a cure in many cases of eczema, either taken alone or combined with other remedies, such as Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla.' 'The root is principally employed, but the leaves and seeds are equally valuable.' 'Both root and seeds may be taken as a decoction of 1 oz. to 1½ pint of water, boiled down to a pint, in doses of a wineglassful, three or four times a day.' 'The anti-scorbutic properties of the root make the decoction very useful for boils, scurvy and rheumatic affections, and by many it is considered superior to Sarsaparilla, on account of its mucilaginous, demulcent nature; it has in addition been recommended for external use as a wash for ulcers and scaly skin disorders.' 'An infusion of the leaves is useful to impart strength and tone to the stomach, for some forms of long-standing indigestion.' 'When applied externally as a poultice, the leaves are highly resolvent for tumours and gouty swellings, and relieve bruises and inflamed surfaces generally. The bruised leaves have been applied by the peasantry in many countries as cataplasms to the feet and as a remedy for hysterical disorders.' 'From the seeds, both a medicinal tincture and a fluid extract are prepared, of benefit in chronic skin diseases. Americans use the seeds only, considering them more efficacious and prompt in their action than the other parts of the plant. They are relaxant and demulcent, with a limited amount of tonic property. Their influence upon the skin is due largely to their being of such an oily nature: they affect both the sebaceous and sudoriferous glands, and probably owing to their oily nature restore that smoothness to the ski

This is Plum Flower brand's nitrogen-flushed vacuum pack. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. Sulfur Free, Chlorine Free, Aluminum Phosphate Free. Sulfites are used to give herbs the appearance of freshness. As with dried fruit. un-sulfured herbs look different than those that are adulterated with preservatives. Herbs that are preservative free are more natural looking and are generally darker. The brightness of the herbs may be appealing, but it indicates the presence of harmful additives. Despite their appearance, unsulfured herbs are more fresh and safer than regular commercially available products. The use of sulfur, chlorine and aluminum phosphate was made unnecessary through the establishment of Plum Flower processing stations in China. Herb harvesters slice and process the herbs fresh, avoiding the need to rehydrate dried herbs later to process. This first step is crucial, as rehydration leads to decomposition and thus the need for preservatives. The herbs are then packed and the packages vacuum-packed, injected with nitrogen, and sealed. The nitrogen process combined with the lack of sulfur treatment inhibits the growth of anaerobic organisms, resulting in safer, higher quality herbs. After opening, store in a cool dry place. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after the processing to make sure that all the active ingredients are present. Herbs are also tested to ensure that the formulas surpass all FDA guidelines regarding heavy metals. Those herbs exported to the U.S. are voluntarily submitted to the FDA for approval. Finally, batches are regularly sent out for quality control testing in third-party labs to double-ensure that Plum Flower products are 100% free of pharmaceuticals, preservatives and dyes. The Lanzhou and Guang Zhou factories are so clean, they are certified by the Australian Governments Therapeutic Goods Administration (GMP). These standards surpass any of the FDA, and are considered the highest for any government agency in the world. Varuna Fulfillment Center items are special ordered.

Cod Liver Oil consist of omega 3 fatty acids that may help with high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, breast cancer, psoriasis, eczema, weight loss, multiple sclerosis, brain function, PMS, and can be used with any nutritional program. For maximum stability, quality and freshness, each bottle of Dale Alexander Emulsified Cod Liver Oil is fortified with OxyGuard (a synergistic antioxidant mixture), and sealed free of air (nitrogen flushed) to prevent oxidation and rancidity. Dale Alexander Emulsified Norwegian Cod Liver Oil is a rich and most economical source of the biologically active Omega-3 class fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Dale Alexander Emulsified Norwegian Cod Liver Oil is the first natural, emulsified, water-dispersed cod liver oil ever produced. This revolutionary product was developed for people who have difficulty digesting oil and for those who could never tolerate the taste of cod liver oil. This is the most easily digested and finest tasting cod liver oil available. No chemical emulsifiers (tween, polysorbates) are used in its production. Only a pure special blend of natural lecithin and apple pectin is used to help mechanically (not chemically) reduce and disperse (emulsify) the natural oil globules of the cod liver oil into millions of tiny droplets making the vitamins A & D, essential fatty acids, and natural occurring nutrients in the cod liver oil more readily available to the digestive system. Dale Alexander, the internationally known authority on cod liver oil, has been lecturing about the nutritive benefits of cod liver oil for over 30 years. He has authored many highly acclaimed books on health and nutrition. 'This product is the finest natural cod liver oil available, meeting the rigid standards specified by Norwegian law regarding its control and quality. This oil is unfortified, non destearinated (contains entire oil), unconcentrated and neither bleached nor deodorized.' Dale Alexander Kalyx Fulfillment Center ships only to the USA and Canada

This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Used as a food or drink additive. Calcium is one of the most important minerals for the growth, maintenance, and reproduction of the human body. The bones in the human body incorporate calcium into their structure. Bones, like other tissues in the body, are continually being reabsorbed and re-formed. Teeth are also calcified tissues. They incorporate calcium in their structure in a manner similar to bones. Calcium is essential for the formation of and maintenance of healthy teeth. Calcium has other functions in addition to maintaining healthy teeth and bones. Blood coagulation, transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction and relaxation, normal heart beat, stimulation of hormone secretion, activation of enzyme reactions, as well as other functions all require small amounts of calcium. American Society for Bone and Mineral Research and the International Bone and Mineral Society, in the San Diego Earth Times: Two new studies published in the November issue of The American Journal of Therapeutics provide additional scientific evidence that calcium citrate may be the optimal form of calcium supplementation. Researchers at the Center for Mineral Metabolism and Clinical Research, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas conducted a 'Meta-Analysis of Calcium Bioavailability: A Comparison of Calcium Citrate with Calcium Carbonate' (Sakhaee et. al., 1999), which evaluated 15 studies on the bioavailability of two of the most common forms of calcium supplements, calcium citrate and calcium carbonate. All but one study showed significantly greater absorption of calcium from calcium citrate than calcium carbonate by an average of 22%-27%, regardless of whether the candidate had eaten a meal or not. 'In the case of calcium supplements, bioavailability refers to the amount of calcium a person actually absorbs from a supplement, rather than the amount of elemental calcium the supplement contains before it is taken,' explains lead author Khashayar Sakhaee, MD, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. 'Although calcium carbonate contains more elemental calcium than calcium citrate, it is not as readily available to the body overall. The meta-analysis confirms our hypothesis that calcium citrate provides superior bio-availability of calcium.' In another study published in the journal, 'The Effect of Calcium Citrate on Bone Density in the Early and Mid-Postmenopausal Period: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study' (Ruml et. al., 1999), the findings indicate that bone loss in early and mid-postmenopausal women can be halted by supplementing the diet with calcium citrate. In the two-year study, 63 early postmenopausal women were given 400 mg of Calcium Citrate twice a day in order to gauge the effect of calcium supplements on the early stages of osteoporosis. Those in the placebo group took tablets of i

Calcium with Magnesium is necessary for the development of strong bones and teeth, also prevents muscle cramping, risk of colon cancer, maintain regular heart beat, protects against osteoporosis and helps relax the central nervous system. Easily Digested, Quick Acting. Calcium citrate is an easily absorbed, soluble and chelated form of calcium preferred by many health and nutritional experts. It is less likely to cause constipation--a very real and uncomfortable problem with certain calcium supplements. Twinlab Calcium Citrate Caps Plus Magnesium go to work quickly in the stomach. Calcium and magnesium tablets, on the other hand, need binders to hold them together. Naturally, these binders may resist dissolving, so it is possible for calcium plus magnesium tablet to pass through the digestive tract without being completely absorbed. This product is manufactured at our own state of the art facility. Twinlab Calcium Citrate Caps Plus Magnesium are easier to swallow and assimilate.

Tri-Boron Plus is necessary for the development of strong bones and teeth, also prevents muscle cramping, risk of colon cancer, maintain regular heart beat, protects against osteoporosis and helps relax the central nervous system with added nutrients for proper absorption. Tri-Boron Plus capsules are easier to swallow and assimilate. A University of Maryland study published in 'American Pharmacy' has concluded that many brands of calcium tablets dissolve so slowly that they pass from the stomach before they can take effect. Tri-Boron Plus capsules disintegrate and break down quickly in the stomach. Studies indicate that calcium is best utilized when taken in multiple dosages. Tri-Boron Plus capsules synergistically combine the trace mineral boron with calcium, magnesium and vitamin D plus trace minerals Zinc, Manganese and Copper which are integral co-factors for several enzymes involved in bone metabolism. Betaine HCI is added to enhance Calcium and Magnesium absorption. Tri-Boron Plus is clearly the most complete state-of-the-art bone health formula ever developed. Tri-Boran Plus is approved for milk allergy sensitive individuals. Kalyx Fulfillment Center ships only to the USA and Canada
