Bilberry

Support eye health, powerful antioxidant

For hundreds of years bilberry has been consumed in cakes, jams and pies. It's a family member of the blueberry and is native to the United States. You must always consult your physician before you start taking bilberry for a nutritional supplement. Supplements aren't controlled by the FDA, so that they must be utilized with caution. There are several bilberry benefits and side effects that I wish to make you aware of below.

Colostrum

first milk from bovine

Colostrum is a milky fluid that comes from the breasts of humans, cows, and other mammals the first few days after giving birth, before true milk appears. It contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and proteins (antibodies) that fight disease-causing agents such as bacteria and viruses. Antibody levels in colostrums can be 100 times higher than levels in regular cow's milk.

EPO (Evening Primrose Oil)

Natural Omega-6 essential fatty acid

Evening Primrose Oil has been called the most sensational preventive discovery since vitamin C. It contains the pain relieving compound phenylalanine and is increasingly being used to treat chronic headaches. It is currently being studied all over the world as a treatment for aging problems, alcoholism, acne, heart disease, hyperactivity in children, symptoms of menopause, multiple sclerosis, weight control, obesity, PMS and schizophrenia. It has so many preventive and therapeutic qualities that it has become a standard part of recommendations of many herbalist for maintaining youth and preventing disease.

Fish Oil

Natural Omega-3 essential fatty acid

Fish oil can be obtained from eating fish or by taking supplements. Fish that are especially rich in the beneficial oils known as omega-3 fatty acids include mackerel, tuna, salmon, sturgeon, mullet, bluefish, anchovy, sardines, herring, trout, and menhaden. They provide about 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids in about 3.5 ounces of fish.

Milk Thistle

High strength liver support

Milk Thistle is unique in its ability to protect the liver and has no equivalent in the pharmaceutical drug world. In fact, in cases of poisoning with Amanita mushrooms, which destroy the liver, milk thistle is the only treatment option. It has been so dramatically effective that the treatment has never been disputed, even by the traditional medical community.

Green Lipped Mussel

Natural marine nutrients

Green-lipped mussels are bivalves that are native to coastal New Zealand, where they are an integral part of the traditional Maori diet. They have a green shell, which is how they got their name, and are rich in anti-inflammatory compounds. Green-lipped mussels can be eaten raw, cooked or as a dietary supplement, and are commonly farmed to protect the environment from potential damage.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

Rich source of organic surfur

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulfur compound that's naturally derived during the earth's rain cycle. Sulfur is present in many natural unprocessed foods, but it's quickly lost during the cooking process. MSM is gaining a lot of attention due to the recent focus on longevity and anti-aging technologies.

Probiotic

Restoring beneficial gut bacteria

Probiotics are organisms such as bacteria or yeast that are believed to improve health. They are available in supplements and foods. The idea of taking live bacteria or yeast may seem strange at first. After all, we take antibiotics to fight bacteria. But our bodies naturally teem with such organisms. The digestive system is home to more than 500 different types of bacteria. They help keep the intestines healthy and assist in digesting food. They are also believed to help the immune system.

Propolis

Powderful antioxidant

Propolis is a sticky substance that bees make which is better known as "bee glue". The process begins when an expert propolis-making bee gathers resin from cone-producing evergreen trees or from the buds of trees. The bee will gather this sticky sap when the proper weather makes it pliable and soft. After the bee gathers enough, he blends the resin with wax flakes that he stores in the gland of his abdomen.

Saw Palmetto

Support healthy prostate function

Saw palmetto is an extract derived from the deep purple berries of the saw palmetto fan palm (Serenoa repens), a plant indigenous to the coastal regions of the southern United States and southern California. Saw palmetto is a remarkable herb for both men and women and is used by natural health practitioners to treat a variety of ailments such as testicular inflammation, urinary tract inflammation, coughs and respiratory congestion.

Spirulina

rich natural super food

Spirulina is a natural "algae" (cyanbacteria) powder that is incredible high in protein and nutrients. When harvested correctly from non-contaminated ponds and bodies of water, it is one of the most potent nutrient sources available. It is largely made up of protein and essential amino acids, and I typically recommend it to clients who decide to remain vegetarian for its high natural iron content. It is often touted for its high B-12 content, though there is a lot of debate about if this particular form is a complete and absorbable form of B-12 and I don't recommend it completely in place of animal products.
