Abana® - Natural Heart Support
(60 tablets)

Abana® is a cardiac tonic that supports the heart function. It helps regulate blood pressure and maintains the balance between supply and demand of myocardial oxygen. A wide range of individuals can benefit from taking Abana® daily as a dietary supplement, including: smokers, overweight people, people who consume high-fat diets, and people who lead a stressful life.

The health benefits of Abana® are derived from at least three different modes of action. First, Abana® regulates lipid metabolism by increasing the protective HDL-cholesterol while lowering both total and bad LDL-cholesterol. Second, Abana® reduces platelet adhesion. Third, Abana® supports the heart indirectly by helping people overcome nervousness and anxiety. It is known, indeed, that stresses of modern life, tension, anxieties and frustrations are all factors affecting the heart's health. With proven effect at all the above levels, this formula very effectively helps maintain a normal cardiac function.

Ingredients:

Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) - Tonic for heart and liver. Regulates blood pressure, heart rate and lipid metabolism. Free radical scavenger.
Billilotan (Nepeta hindostana) - Supports various cardiovascular metabolisms.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) - Indian Ginseng - known for its adaptogenic and rejuvenative effect.
Guggul (Commiphora mukul) - Regulates cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Boerhaavia (Boerhaavia diffusa) - Supports the urinary tract.
Gotu-kola (Centella asiatica) - Famous for improving memory and attention as well as maintaining microvascular integrity.
Amalaki - Indian Gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) - High in natural Vitamin C, used as a cardiovascular tonic and as an effective support     for stomach function.

Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) - Helps build the body's immune resistance.
Indian Long Pepper (Piper longum) - Stimulant for the digestive and respiratory systems.

Recommended dosage: 1 tablet twice daily, preferably with meals.

Key research: Support of the cardiac function is a complex phenomenon. Several hormones and biogenic amines are known to influence the mechanism of cardiac function. Excessive secretion of histamine has been reported to trigger the secretion of norepinephrine. In a study of the circulating levels of histamine published in Current Medical Practice (1988): 5,115, two weeks of Abana® use brought about a marked reduction in those levels.

One of the most important mechanisms involved in maintaining a healthy heart function is linked to lipid concentration. The effect of Abana® on lipids has been thoroughly researched and results have been published in Alternative Medicine Zurich, Switzerland, (1986): 3, 241. Abana® was shown to exert a significant influence on lipid metabolism: reduction of total lipids, serum triglycerides and serum cholesterol.

In another placebo-controlled study published in Alternative Medicine (1990): 3, 139., Abana® was found to increase the levels of HDL-cholesterol - the "good" cholesterol that has a protective effect by mobilizing cholesterol from tissue and returning it to the liver.

Bronchotab® - Natural Breathing Support
(120 tablets)

Bronchotab® is a unique complex herbal formula that provides overall support of the respiratory function and helps maintain optimum bronchial effectiveness. It broadly addresses many underlying mechanisms linked to optimum breathing.

There is a traditional Indian way to help people cope with environmental factors, air pollution and allergens that usually determine the respiratory effectiveness: the use of botanicals that have immunomodulatory and immune- enhancing properties. Formulas also rely on ingredients such as Tylophora asthmatica or Rhus succedanea that have been shown to support the functioning of the bronchial musculature.

Ingredients:

Galls (Rhus succedanea) - Supports bronchial and pulmonary health.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) - Widely used, tasty condiment. Supports the immune system and protects the respiratory tract.

Recommended dosage: Take 1 or 2 tablets twice per day, preferably with meals.

Key research: The health benefits of Tylophora asthmatica, a key ingredient of Bronchotab®, have been well documented and proven through clinical trials. In a study published in Planta Medica (1991) 409, Tylophora asthmatica promotes bronchial effectiveness and regulates the immune response to allergens. Clinical trials have also been conducted on the complete formula, Bronchotab®, and have established its effectiveness in supporting the overall respiratory function. The benefits of Bronchotab® have been shown to be linked to the suppression of antibody production and inhibition of antigen induced histamine release. The results were published in the Indian Journal of Pharmacology 1999;31: 133-137.

Geriforte® - Anti-stress & rejuvenative
(60 tablets)

Many health conditions are now well understood to be stress-related, and coping with the consequences of stress is fast becoming a cornerstone of health and well-being. Geriforte® is a completely natural product that regulates and balances all the body’s organs and systems for comprehensive health maintenance. It delivers an extremely broad range of health benefits which are well documented by extensive research. This ultimate general fitness product helps everyone handle daily stress. It provides several vitamins and minerals from natural sources, has strong antioxidant properties that are the key to its anti-aging benefits, and improves hormonal effectiveness, the key to its menopausal benefits.

Many studies have uncovered definite evidence of its effectiveness in stress-related conditions like premature aging, fatigue, insomnia or emotional imbalance. Geriforte® is the ultimate physical and mental restorative that keeps the body mentally alert and physically fit. It is the prime example of the elaborate science of using herbs as rejuvenating tonics.

Ingredients:

Chyavanprash - Effective rejuvenative, rich in antioxidant Vitamin C. Cornerstone of broad health and anti-aging regimen.
Mineral Pitch (Shilajeet) - Tar-like purified exudate of mineral origin; balanced general tonic.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) - Indian Ginseng - known for its adaptogenic and rejuvenative effect.
Gotu-kola (Centella asiatica) - Famous for improving memory and attention as well as maintaining microvascular integrity.
Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) - A heart tonic; helps regulate lipids.

Mucuna ( Mucuna pruriens) - Nervine tonic also shown to be an aphrodisiac.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) - Tones up intestines. Rich in flavonoids.
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) - Main rejuvenative element for women.

Recommended dosage: 1 tablet twice daily, preferably with meals.

Key research: It is now well documented that one of the main chemical reactions involved in aging is free radical damage to cells, especially the very damaging superoxide particles. In healthy young people an enzyme called superoxide dismutase (SOD) scavenges these reactive free radicals and produces hydrogen peroxide which is then eliminated in the form of water by another enzyme called catalase (CAT).

The concentration of those two enzymes is in direct correlation with the degree of protection against the damaging effects of free radicals and is therefore an excellent marker for the antioxidant efficiency of protective formulas.

In a striking placebo-controlled study published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences (Vol 717, June 30, 1994, pp. 170-173)., Geriforte® induced a significant increase in the production of both enzymes SOD and CAT, prompting the authors to state that “through the elimination of damaging free radicals responsible for the oxidative damages linked to aging, Geriforte® is an ideal tonic for promoting health and longevity.”

Kilose® - Natural Lipid Regulator
(60 capsules)

Kilose® is a unique complex herbal formula that regulates the metabolism of fats and has shown excellent results in cases of obesity, thereby protecting overweight people against possible consequences of excess lipids.

The concept of obesity as a disorder of the lipid metabolism was described in Ayurveda, and a number of herbal formulas have been used safely for centuries. The metabolic action of Guggul and HCA (hydroxycitric acid from Garcinia cambogia) have been well documented.

It has been well established that the primary factor supporting a normal lipid metabolism is the regulation of the sugar content in the blood stream. The presence of Gymnema makes Kilose® the natural solution when weight control difficulties are linked to poor regulation of the glucose metabolism.

Ingredients:

Garcinia (Garcinia cambogia) - Contains (-) hydroxycitric acid that is known to inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids.
Guggul (Commiphora mukul ) - Normalizes lipid metabolism, helps burn excess fat and regulates cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Additional instructions:
• It is important to get at least 20 to 30 minutes of activity four to five times a week
(a brisk walk, swim, etc.)
• Daily intake of 8 to 12 glasses of water is necessary in order to improve absorption of Kilose®.
• Eat moderately; do not deprive yourself of an occasional treat.
Kilose® should be used continuously for 4-6 months for best results. Loss of weight in terms of inches as well as pounds will be observed, depending on the amount of superficial or deep-seated fat in the body. Each person’s body is built differently and responds in its own unique way.

Key research: Studies have shown that (-) hydroxycitric acid (HCA) present in the Garcinia cambogia extract (containing not less than 50% w/w of HCA) is known to inhibit lipogenesis and fatty acid synthesis. It acts by inhibiting the citrate cleavage enzyme which catalyses the formation of precursors for fatty acid synthesis. In a study published in International Journal of Obesity (1996), HCA has also been shown to boost basal metabolic rate so the body continues to burn calories and lose weight.

Liv.52® - Natural Liver Support
(120 tablets)

Liv.52® simply ensures optimum liver function. Through the protection of the hepatic parenchyma, and by way of its potent antioxidant properties, the product acts as a powerful detoxification agent. It neutralizes all kinds of toxins and poisons from food, water, air and medications–all sources of detrimental effects on the liver. Counteracting those hard-to-avoid poisons and therefore protecting one of the body’s most important organs, Liv.52® has enormous health benefits for everyone.

Liv.52® was introduced in 1955 as a specially formulated liver support product. Since then, Liv.52® has been sold worldwide and is widely recognized by thousands of health professionals as one of the most effective liver formulas, with beneficial effects reported in over 300 studies on a wide variety of cases.

Recommended dosage: Take 1 or 2 tablets twice per day, preferably with meals.

Key research: The well known effects of Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) on the liver are due to accumulation of acetaldehyde, a metabolite of ethanol which causes unwanted symptoms related to the central nervous system. In a study of the absorption and metabolism of ethanol (European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1991,40 : pp. 189-91), Liv.52® was shown to enhance the urinary secretion of acetaldehyde, suggesting that Liv.52® prevents the binding of acetaldehyde to cell proteins in the liver.

A more recent study published in the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, Vol.37, August 1999, pp.762-766, confirms that the hepatoprotective nature of Liv.52® might be attributed to its ability to inhibit lipid
peroxidation.

Liv.52® has also been found to be associated with an increase in serum albumin, which is another indication of the liver protection it provides. Recent work shows that Liv.52® has cholesterol-regulating action. Clinically, it helps maintain healthy levels of serum cholesterol, lipoproteins, phospholipids and triglycerides.

Similar results were reported in another study published in Haryana Medical Journal 1981:Vol.2, No.3, p.103 with highly satisfactory results after six weeks of taking Pilexim®.

Prostane® - Natural Prostate Support
(100 tablets)

Prostane® is a unique herbal formula that has shown excellent results in helping people maintain a health prostate. It has been proved to be a safe and cost-efficient approach to supporting the overall urogenital function.

The common parameters of urination were studied in several clinical trials of Prostane® comparing its effectiveness to other products.
The advantages of Prostane® were found to include its non-hormonal nature and the absence of side effects. In general, Prostane®’s documented health benefits have been rated superior to natural products based on saw palmetto. Recent studies have also shown that Prostane® helps maintain a normal PSA count as well as a healthy bladder.

Prostane® is a natural solution that helps most men over 50 address a common nuisance of aging and maintain normal urinary comfort for enhanced sense of well-being.
 

Ingredients:

Salep orchid (Orchis mascula ) - Nerve stimulant and revigorating tonic. Effective prostate health promoter.
Hygrophila (Astercantha longifolia) - Supports the male urogential function and promotes prostate health.
Elephant creeper (Argyreia speciosa) - Supports the nervous system and is a geriatric tonic and mild aphrodisiac.
Mucuna (Mucuna pruriens) - Nervine tonic also shown to be an aphrodisiac.
Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) - Promotes the flow of urine and cools and soothes the membranes of the urinary tract.

Recommended dosage: Take 1 or 2 tablets twice per day, preferably with meals.

Key research: A clinical trial, reported in Antiseptic (1980): 10, 590, was conducted over two years on 50 patients, with common parameters of urination used to assess the effectiveness of Prostane® in maintaining a healthy urinary function. Positive response was reported in more than 80% of the cases, with complete satisfaction in more than 50%.

A later study on urinary comfort was conducted in 1988 on 82 patients and reported in Curr. Medical Practice (July 1992): (36), 7, 179. It concluded that Prostane® is an effective and safe prostate health product. There is experimental evidence that shows Prostane® potentiates the action of adrenaline on the prostatic capsule. As adrenaline is known to cause contraction of the smooth muscles, this mechanism of action seems to explain the efficacy of Prostane® in maintaining a healthy prostate.

Purim® - Natural Blood Purifier
(120 tablets)

Purim® is a unique complex and balanced herbal formula that helps maintain optimum health through broad and systemic blood purification in the tradition of the famous "bitters." Purim® is therefore a very effective detoxifying formula that helps accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has long been associated in traditional Indian formulas with broad skin support. Its properties have been described in many scientific articles such as Brit. J. Phytother. (1991): (2), 2, 51. Neem (Azadirachta indica) contains several alkaloids found effective in supporting various skin properties in addition to its immune-boosting properties.

Reosto® - Balanced Bone Support
(60 capsules)

Reosto® is a unique herbal supplement that helps maintain healthy bone structure by addressing two factors known to be associated with bone health: adequate calcium supplementation and appropriate hormonal balance.

Reosto® combines several sources of bioavailable calcium for optimum results. Studies have shown Reosto® to be very effective in bone mineralization and supporting the microstructure of the bone tissue.

The effectiveness of Reosto® in supporting calcium metabolisms is enhanced by several herbs which have been shown to contain phytoestrogens.

Rumalaya® - Natural Joint Support
(60 tablets)

Rumalaya® helps support the connective tissue structure and attenuate the discomfort caused by impaired movement. Those discomforts are a widespread occurrence resulting from such factors as climate, lifestyle, work habits and sedentary, repetitive movement, etc. Taken daily as a dietary supplement, Rumalaya® has demonstrated very good results in relieving discomfort caused by morning stiffness. Results are gradual but long lasting.

The mechanism of the support action of Rumalaya® has been explained by an increase in the concentration of a substance that, in turn, inhibits the release of lysosomal enzymes and helps maintain healthy joints.

Supporting healthy joints is very valuable over the long run and considerably improves the sense of well-being for elderly people. Rumalaya® has been shown to be particularly effective when taken in combination with Geriforte®.

Ingredients:

Guggul (Commiphora mukul) - Increases white blood cells and normalizes lipids.
Indian madder (Rubia cordifolia) - Blood-purifying herb and immune regulator.
Horseradish tree (Moringa pterygosperma) - Broad stimulant.
Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) - Helps maintain healthy coronary arteries and circulation.
Musk mallow (Hibiscus abelmoschus) - Helps support healthy joints.
Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) - Tonic which helps build the body’s immune resistance.
Mineral Pitch (Shilajeet) - Tar-like purified exudate, balanced general tonic.

Recommended dosage: Take 1 or 2 tablets twice daily, preferably with meals.

Key research: Many orthopedists have recognized the value of natural products such as Rumalaya® in maintaining healthy joints. - Indian Practitioner, (1984) : 2, 213

The safety of Rumalaya® has been demonstrated by toxicity studies, both acute and chronic. “No toxicity or adverse side-effects were encountered during regimen from 10 days to 2 months.” - Current Medical Practice, (1981) : 7, 285

“No biochemical or hematological abnormality was noticed during Rumalaya® regimen for up to 2 years.
The conclusion was that Rumalaya® is an effective agent at all stages and cuts the analgesic requirements.” - The Medicine & Surgery, (1980) Vol XX, No 8, 5

“Sixty-two cases were selected for a clinical trial with Rumalaya®. There was significant satisfaction reported after three months.” - Indian Medical Journal (1984):(78), 6, 82-86

Septilin® - Natural Immune Support
(80 tablets)

The weakening of immune protection, the body’s main line of defense, usually results in many unhealthy conditions. Common “quick relief” methods of treatment only temporarily ease the symptoms, they don’t provide any preventative measures. The Ayurvedic alternative, however, is aimed at “building up” the body’s own defense mechanisms to prevent negative conditions. Septilin® contains many medicinal plants, such as Guggul, which possess immunomodulatory properties that aid this “building up” process.

Septilin® provides effective support of the immune function, ensuring that the immune response works efficiently. The best level of resistance is achieved through normalization of leukocyte function by improved phagocytosis (the immune response by some of the white blood cells - leukocytes and macrophages - that destroys microorganisms and foreign bodies).

Ingredients:

Guggul (Commiphora mukul ) - Famous broad spectrum herb. Promotes general defense mechanism of the body through increased white blood cell production.
Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) - Tonic which helps build the body’s immune resistance.
Indian Madder (Rubia cordifolia) - Blood-purifying herb and immune regulator.
Amalaki - Indian Gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) - High in natural Vitamin C. Very potent antioxidant and proven immune function booster.
Horseradish Tree (Moringa pterygosperma) - Broad stimulant that helps support a healthy immune function.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) - Rich in flavonoids (antioxidants).

Recommended dosage: Take 1 or 2 tablets twice daily, preferably with meals.

Key research: Although Septilin® has shown no direct antibacterial activity in culture media, it significantly protected animals against pathogen-induced infections, suggesting a stimulation of phagocytic activity. (Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, Vol.32, August 1994, pp.553-558). Indeed, other studies have indicated that the phagocytosis of bacteria is significantly increased in people who have taken Septilin® for several weeks. That increase can be linked with recent clinical and experimental work that clearly demonstrates that many complex glycoproteins of plant origin have the ability to induce a proliferate response in different types of cells in the immune system. All those studies suggest a model in which complex herbomineral formulations interact with the body’s defense mechanisms and offer a natural and effective option to strengthen the body’s resistance.

Another multiple dose, double blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to assess the health promoting benefits of Septilin® for allergen sensitive people. Septilin® was found to be very effective and had a much lower incidence of side effects than commonly used products. (Indian Journal of Pharmacology - 1993 - Vol 25, pp. 114).

Septilin® Jr. - Natural Immune Support
(120 tablets or 200ml liquid)

Weakening of the immune protection, the first and foremost health maintenance mechanism, usually results in unhealthy conditions, and common “quick relief” methods have largely failed to ensure long-term remission. By contrast, the ayurvedic alternative is aimed at building up the body’s own defense mechanisms. Many medicinal plants, such as Guggul, have long been known to have immunomodulatory properties. Septilin® Jr. contains some of these immunoactive plant principles that have been reported to potentiate the non-specific defense mechanisms of the body.

Septilin® Jr. provides effective support of the immune function, ensuring that the immune response works efficiently. The best level of resistanceis achieved through normalization of leukocyte function by improved phagocytosis (the immune response by some of the white blood cells–leukocytes and macrophages that destroys microorganisms and foreign bodies).

Ingredients:

Guggul (Commiphora mukul ) - Famous broad spectrum herb. Promotes general defense mechanism of the body through increased white blood cell production.
Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) - Tonic which helps build the body’s immune resistance.
Indian Madder (Rubia cordifolia) - Blood-purifying herb and immune regulator.
Amalaki - Indian Gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) - High in natural Vitamin C. Very potent antioxidant and proven immune function booster.
Horseradish Tree (Moringa pterygosperma) - Broad stimulant that helps support a healthy immune function.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) - Rich in flavonoids (antioxidants).

Recommended dosage:
Tablets:
1 to 3 tablets twice daily, preferably with meals.
200ml Liquid:
1 to 2 teaspoonfuls, 2 or 3 times a day.

Key research: Although Septilin® has shown no direct antibacterial activity in culture media, it significantly protected animals against pathogen-induced infections, suggesting a stimulation of phagocytic activity. (Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, Vol.32, August 1994, pp.553-558). Indeed, other studies have indicated that the phagocytosis of bacteria is significantly increased in people who have taken Septilin® for several weeks. That increase can be linked with recent clinical and experimental work that clearly demonstrates that many complex glycoproteins of plant origin have the ability to induce a proliferate response in different types of cells in the immune system.

Septilin® was found to be very effective and had a much lower incidence of side effects than commonly used products. (Indian Journal of Pharmacology - 1993 - Vol 25, pp. 114).

Spemen® - Natural Semen Support
(100 tablets)

Speman® is a unique herbal formula that has shown excellent results in helping men maintain an effective reproductive function. It has been proved to be a safe and cost-efficient approach to supporting the urogenital function overall.

Speman® is a non-hormonal herbal support of male fertility. Through the support of the musculature of the seminal vesicles, it helps regulate sperm count and maintain overall semen quality, morphology and motility. The advantages of Speman® have been found to include its non-hormonal nature and the absence of side effects.

Speman® helps men maintain a positive male image and is a natural solution that helps couples by supporting their desire to have children. It helps address a common nuisance of life and contributes to a general enhanced sense of well-being.

Mucuna (Mucuna pruriens) - Nervine tonic also shown to be an aphrodisiac.
Jeevanti (Leptadenia reticulata) - Supports the gametogenic and androgenic functions of the male reproductive system.
Stone Flower (Parmelia perlata) - Supports hormonal mechanisms and provides revigorating energy.

Recommended dosage: Take 1 or 2 tablets twice per day, preferably with meals.

Key research: During a clinical trial on Speman®, reported in the Indian Medical Gazette in Jan 1985, Vol. CXIX, No.1, pp.14-17, 68 male patients took Speman® for nine months. Seventy percent showed increase in sperm count and forty-seven percent had improvement in sperm motility. Conception rate was above average. No side effects were registered.

There is experimental evidence that Speman® potentiates the action of adrenaline on the seminal vesicles, causing contraction of the smooth muscles. This mechanism of action seems to explain the formula’s efficacy.

Key research: Clinical trials conducted on Tentex® forte have shown its efficacy as a good sexual stimulant. A clinical study published in Probe, Vol.XVIII, No.2, Jan.-Mar. 1979, pp.76-78 showed a group who took Tentex® forte had improved libido and sexual weakness by 84% in comparison to placebo.

Experimental studies have associated the increased libido and improved performance to the action of Tentex® forte on the hypothalamus. This action seems far superior to the mechanism of action and the effects of testosterone. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of men with libidinal hypoactivity, Tentex® forte proved to be very helpful and was found to be significantly superior to the placebo of counseling alone.
