Background:Today, Boswellia Extract is sought out all over the world for its support of healthy joints and the GI tract, but it has been an important part of Ayurvedic medicine in India for centuries.* The plant grows not only in India, but also in Northern Africa and the Middle East. The tree is tapped in these regions for its resin or gum. The resin contains high amounts of boswellic acids, compounds shown through scientific studies to help support joint and intestinal health.* The resin is often referred to Indian Frankincense due to botanical relationship to plants that are used to produce frankincense resin and essential oil.

Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), a perennial herb member to the buttercup (Ranunculaceae) family. Goldenseal is native to Canada (Quebec, Canada), and Eastern United States, (Ohio River Valley, West Virginia, the mountains of North and South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and north New England and Upstate New York). Native Americans have traditionally used Goldenseal (Root & Rhizomes) extensively, for skin disorders, ulcers, fevers, internal inflammatory conditions, canker sores and stomach issues. Wild living Goldenseal has been considered as endangered due to overharvesting. Regardless of Goldenseal being rare in the wild, it is commercially grown in abundance.
The key constituents of Goldenseal found in the Root & Rhizomes of the plant are the Isoquinoline Alkaloids (Protoberberines): Berberine, Hydrastine, Berberastine, Hydrastinine, Canadine, Canalidine, Phytosterin, Albumin, Chlorogenic acid, Potassium. These Isoquinoline Alkaloids are found to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Goldenseal has shown to work synergistically when taken with supplemental Berberine, to have a more pronounced anti-viral effect and enhance its antibacterial activity. Providing Immune support [1,2].
Goldenseal contains the naturally occurring Isoquinoline Alkaloid, Berberine. Berberine is well known for its various benefits and uses. Benefits of Berberine in Goldenseal have been shown to aid in regulating cholesterol levels, regulation & lowering of blood sugar/glucose levels, lowering blood pressure, and preventing E. Coli from binding to Urinary Tract walls, which may be helpful in Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) [3].
Goldenseal is commonly combined with Echinacea to provide synergistic immune support.
Goldenseal has been found to be helpful in digestive disorders, by soothing inflammation in the digestive tract, soothing acidity related to heartburn & acid reflux, which may help with ulcers. Anti-bacterial properties of Goldenseal have also been used help reduce gas & bloating from bad bacteria in the gut.

This compound has been shown to help support normal, healthy levels of luteinizing hormone (LH).† Increased LH levels, which are often the result of declining estrogen levels, are typically responsible for the changes associated with menopause. Dong quai and chasteberry are included for their synergistic effects.

What is Parve:
A pareve (neutral) product is made from inherently kosher or kosher certified ingredients that are neither meat, nor dairy. Some examples of pareve ingredients are raw fruits & vegetables, flour, sugar, kosher fish, and eggs. (Even though eggs are found in the dairy section of your supermarket, kosher law dictates that they are in fact pareve.) A pareve product can be used with meat or dairy products.Application for:• Receiving: If a facility is set up to handle only pareve products, receiving must ensure that all products coming into the facility have a kosher symbol that designates them as pareve.• Production: A kosher pareve product is produced only on a production line especially dedicated for kosher pareve products, or properly kosherized before production.• Sales: Since pareve can be used with both dairy and meat, if an item can be designated as pareve, it will have a wider market. A pareve product will bear a plain “OK” symbol or an “OK Pareve” symbol.• Procurement: If a facility is set up to handle only pareve products, all ingredients must be listed on your ingredient list as pareve. No dairy or meat ingredients should be present in the facility. Procurement should be aware of this requirement when approving new materials for this facility.
Rhamnus purshiana, known as Cascara Sagrada (Sacred Bark in Spanish), is the bark of the small Cascara tree native to North West Region of America. Cascara Sagrada was originally used by Native Americans for issues such as: Constipation, Digestive Problems, Joint & Muscle Pain, Gonorrhea, Gallstones, and Dysentery. Cascara Sagrada is one of anthraquinone-containing herbal medicines including the leaf and fruits of Senna, the latex of Aloe vera, and the root of the Rhubarb plant.
The Mechanism of Action of Cascara Sagrada, is due to the phytochemical compounds found in the bark. The bark contains Anthraquinone, that reacts with Intestinal Flora (bacteria found in the intestines) which cause muscle contractions in the intestines. It has been shown to inhibit the absorption of water and electrolytes in the large intestine, which causes an increase in volume of the bowel contents, leading to increased pressure to cause a laxative effect.
Suggested Use: Take 1-2 caps, once per day between meals or just before bedtime, or as directed by a health care professional.

Studies have shown that the compound Charantin found in Bitter Melon, is more effective than the hypoglycemic/Diabetic Medication Tolbutamide.
Bitter Melon is traditionally known for its potential medicinal properties such as antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammation, antivirus, and cholesterol/lipid lowering effects
Studies have also shown that bitter melon contains anti-carcinogenic properties and may be used as a cytotoxic agent against many types of cancer
