Cholester-Reg II (90)

Classification
Chinese Herbal Product

Circulatory System Support

Product Description

This combination of policosanol, phytosterol (plant sterols), inositol nicotinate (a form of niacin), resveratrol, and artichoke powder offers a host of benefits to the heart and the circulatory system. These include maintaining cholesterol levels that are already in the normal range, protection of the heart, antioxidant properties, maintaining already-normal platelet aggregation levels, and more.

Policosanol appears to perform a similar action in the body as Chinese red rice extract (Hongqu). Human studies show that policosanol can effectively play a role in maintaining cholesterol levels already in the normal range and that it can help maintain already-normal platelet aggregation (clotting). Studies show that 20 mg policosanol is as effective as 100 mg aspirin in maintaining already-normal platelet aggregation.

The chemical structure of plant sterols is similar to that of cholesterol, so plant sterols compete with the absorption of cholesterol in the body. Excess plant sterols are not absorbed by the body but are eliminated.

Inositol nicotinate helps relax smooth muscles and improves microcirculation. It is particularly effective in maintaining triglyceride levels that are already in the normal range.

Resveratrol has been in the news in recent years for its antioxidant abilities. It also may help promote immune system strength and maintain LDL and triglyceride levels already in the normal range.

Finally, artichoke powder (Cynara scolymus) contains sesquiterpene lactone, cynaropicrin (a strong bitter), and inulin. It benefits the liver and promotes digestion. Artichoke is popular in Europe for its ability to maintain cholesterol levels already in the normal range.

Usage

Take 1 capsule with a meal three times daily, or as suggested by your Natural Health Professional.

Warning

Do not take this product if you are pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant. Consult your health care professional before using if you are currently taking any cholesterol-lowering agents. Cholesterol levels should be checked regularly. For adults 20 years of age or older only. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Para-Cleanse with Paw Paw (20 packets)

Intestinal System -- Fact Sheet

Para-Cleanse with Paw Paw is a 10-day program designed to support the efforts of the intestinal system in removing unwanted guests.

Contrary to popular belief, parasites infest a large percentage of the population. In spite of government regulations, inspectors, drugs, and general less-than-perfect cleanliness in our society today, parasitic invasion can still reach us through: Rise in international travel; exotic foreign foods that may be undercooked or unwashed; contaminated water; day care centers; household pets; and over-use of antibiotics.

Symptoms of infestation include unexplained chronic illness, pain, fatigue, depression, itching, allergies, anemia, nervousness, sleep disturbances, constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, and flu-like symptoms.

Like parasites, herbal compounds are a part of nature, and they exist to help the body fight these unwanted invaders. These nutrients help strengthen the body"s immune and cleansing systems.

This carefully formulated herbal combination supports an intestinal environment that is not hospitable to foreign invaders. Each packet contains 6 capsules total, consisting of the following: 1 capsule of Paw Paw Cell-Reg, 1 capsule of Herbal Pumpkin combination (a blend of pumpkin seeds, black walnut hulls, cascara sagrada bark, violet leaf, chamomile flowers, mullein leaves, marshmallow root and slippery elm bark), 2 capsules of Yeast/Fungal Detox (oregano, caprylic acid, propionic acid, sorbic acid, Echinacea angustifolia root, garlic, pau d"arco, selenium and zinc), and 2 capsules of Artemisia Combination (two species of artemisia, wormwood and mugwort, along with elecampane root, clove flower buds, garlic bulb root, ginger root, spearmint herb, and turmeric root).

Usage: Take 2 packets each day, one 15 minutes before breakfast and one 15 minutes before dinner. Drink at least 8 oz. of pure water with the capsules. Continue the program for 10 days. When the contents have been consumed, continue with the dietary suggestions for ten days then repeat the program.

Dietary Suggestions: Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables (especially leafy greens) and whole grains. Avoid red meats, coffee, alcohol, sugary and fried foods.

LBS II® or Cascara Sagrada may be used in conjunction with this program.

Tei Fu Essential Oil®

Classification
Chinese Blend of Essential Oils
 
Primary System Support
Nervous
 
Product Description
Tei Fu Essential Oils® was developed and perfected by a Chinese herbalist several decades ago. He created it using an ancient formula that was passed down in his family dating back more than 1,000 years. His secret formula was not for sale--a trait typical of older-generation Chinese. This descendant realized the benefits of his family secret and decided it was too good to keep from others. Thus Nature's Sunshine became the beneficiary of thousands of years of Chinese wisdom and herbal knowledge. Tei Fu Oils contain safflower oil, wintergreen oil, menthol, camphor and other essential oils. Tei Fu oils can be used for a wide variety of applications, especially where the refreshing, invigorating properties of essential oils are desired. Avoid contact with eyes and nose.
 
Ingredients
Safflower oil, menthol, winter-green oil, camphor, and other essential oils.
 
Suggested Usage
Apply one to four drops to desired area and rub in, as an aid in conditioning skin. Contains wintergreeen oil; avoid eye and nose contact. Keep out of reach of children.
