Ethnoscience Organic Maca 250gr / 8.8oz
$ 13.58
Visit product page →Maca is a nutritionally dense perennial tuber that absorbs and stores nutrients. Maca is native to the Peruvian Andes and belongs to the cruciferous vegetable family. It is typically grown as a root vegetable in harsh weather conditions and high altitudes.
What are its benefits?
Maca is sometimes referred to as “Peruvian ginseng” and was highly revered by the Inca for its wonderfully rich nutritional properties. Maca is an adaptogen, known for its ability to increase energy, build physical strength, improve mood, reduce anxiety and heighten libido. It is rich in essential minerals, EFAs, amino acids and polysaccharides. Maca root contains over 55 naturally occurring, beneficial phyto-chemicals that work in tandem with the body’s natural rhythms. Maca root helps rebuild weak immune systems, re-mineralize poorly nourished bodies and increase energy and endurance.
What are the colour differences?
There are several ecospecies of maca available. Although they share a similar nutritional profile, studies have shown that varieties within the species have distinct potential benefits:
• Red Maca is known for its higher concentration of antioxidant properties and for better prostate health.
• Yellow Maca is known for its beneficial effects on female fertility and menopausal symptoms. Yellow maca root is the maca most used by Peruvians in daily life.
• Black Maca is known for its positive effects on memory, latent learning and spermatogenesis.
• Raw Maca: Make no mistake – all of our macas (not including Gelatinized and Premium) are raw. Our “Raw Maca” option is simply a blend of red, yellow, and black maca. This option is for those who wish for a less directed, wider spectrum of benefits. Approximate % breakdown is as follows: Yellow Maca root: 70%, Red Maca root: 20%, Black Maca root: 10%.
• Premium Maca is a blend of yellow, red, and black macas that has been purified and sterilized with Steam and Vacuum – a 100% natural method of removing pathogens and reducing germ charge in natural products. Used with our Premium Maca, this unique and efficient solution is able to provide us with the purest Maca product in the world. Each Maca colour has different properties.
• Gelatinized Maca is known to be highly digestible and more soluble than regular maca. Due to gelatinization, the long chains of starches are broken down, enhancing the concentration of the maca’s powerful main ingredients.
* Gelatinization is an extrusion process that ruptures the maca starch chains, to make it easier to assimilate. In other words, starches are broken down and made more readily absorbable in a gel form. It mixes easier into food and beverages, and many find it easier to digest. The thermal process involves a quick application of heat (seconds), and does not degrade any of the nutritional components of the raw maca powder. On the contrary, it concentrates them. It is important to note that gelatinization is achieved without altering any of the maca’s active ingredients.Gelatinized maca may indeed be more concentrated but it must be understood that we are not talking about an increase in concentration to be equal to that of an extract. Some websites selling gelatinized maca are claiming that their product is actually up to 6 times more concentrated then regular maca. Unfortunately, this cannot be so. Such a value can only be obtained in extract ( spray dried ) or in freeze dried form and gelatinized maca is neither. The error made is in believing that the starch in gelatinized maca has been removed and hence it becomes more concentrated. Starches are broken down and made more readily absorbable in gel form but they are not removed. As such, a 6 times increase in concentration as some websites claim cannot be possible. Remember, gelatinized maca is a whole food with its starch chains ruptured to make it easier to assimilate…the starches are not removed.

Flora Floradix® Formula for Low Iron
$ 20.58
Visit product page →-
Tired? You may be Iron Deficient!
Why do so many of us constantly feel tired or fatigued? Perhaps the reason is iron deficiency, the most prevalent nutrient deficiency worldwide. Iron deficiency is the leading cause of fatigue among women between the time of menstruation and menopause. It is estimated that up to 26% of menstruating women are iron deficient.
Women of childbearing age and adolescent girls need to regularly replace the iron that is eliminated through monthly blood loss. The elderly are also at risk because they no longer absorb iron from foods as efficiently as when they were younger. Vegetarians and those who eat little or no red meat may also be iron deficient. Endurance athletes and those who exercise regularly lose iron through perspiration, putting them at risk for deficiency and decreased endurance.
Floradix® is a liquid iron supplement that is specially formulated for easy absorption and assimilation. In fact, over 98% of the iron is available for quick potential absorption. The daily use of Floradix® helps normalize low iron levels to boost energy, vitality and optimal health.
Iron is an essential element for the body. It combines with copper and protein to make hemoglobin, a major component of red blood cells which transports oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues of the body. Iron is also needed throughout the body for adenosine triphosphate production (ATP), which is required for cellular energy and proper cell function. When iron is low, ATP production drops and energy levels decrease as a result.
The signs and symptoms of iron deficiency include: Fatigue, weakness, pale skin, dark circles under the eyes, brittle hair and nails, shortness of breath and cold hands and feet.

Wheatgrass Benefits
- Wheatgrass is consumed to improve the hemoglobin concentration of blood as it is rich in healthy nutrients and enzymes. It reduces the inflammation, bleeding tendency and physical pain syndromes. Since wheatgrass contain high concentration of chlorophyll, the oxygen absorbing and retaining capacity of your blood increases that helps in managing the symptoms of anemia.
- When consumed in optimal doses, it helps in the detoxification of liver and blood to eliminate and excrete chemicals, toxins and endogenous waste products that are produced as a result of metabolic processes.
- It is also used to prevent the physical signs of aging like graying of hair due to high concentration of vitamin C and other anti-oxidants. In addition, wheatgrass is also helpful in relieving dandruff and repair of damaged hair.
- The high anti-oxidant concentration and effect on bodily enzymes is helpful in improving the urinary tract infections and other disorders like renal stones, infection of prostate or even benign prostate hypertrophy.
- Wheatgrass is often consumed by individuals to cleanse skin and detoxify blood to relieve acne. It has proven efficacy in delaying the aging signs of skin (sagging of skin, wrinkling or appearance of eye- bags) with its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Human body is exposed to a lot of carcinogens or chemicals/toxins that tend to alter the genetic make-up of the cells. Consuming moderate amounts of wheatgrass is helpful in neutralizing the chemicals that may lead to cancer. If you are exposed to second-hand or third-had smoking (or you are an active smoker or alcoholic or are exposed to other chemicals), you must consider taking wheatgrass on regular basis.
- The high quality nutrients like vitamins and minerals exert health promoting effects in the women who have abnormal cycles due to weakness or malnutrition. In addition, regular supplementation helps in detoxification of the body and removal of hormonal breakdown products that may affect fertility and reproductive capacity.
- In addition to above listed benefits, wheatgrass is also used to treat a variety of respiratory disorders and other ailments like fever, sore-throat, arthritis, stomach and gastric discomfort and similar conditions. In addition, wheatgrass is also helpful in controlling blood pressure and thereby decrease the risk of cardiac mortality. Furthermore, wheatgrass can help with weight loss when consumed in the raw, dehydrated form.

New Roots Herbal Borage Oil Certified Organic
On sale $ 28.05 $ 23.84
Visit product page →-
Borage oil is a great source of GLA (Gamma linoleic acid). New Roots Herbal Borage Oil is certified organic and non-G.M.O.
Borage oil reduces the aches and pains of rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania found that high doses of borage oil (1.4 gm a day) led to a significant reduction in pain and swelling in arthritic joints when compared with cottonseed oil, which has no GLA. In a separate study, patients with active rheumatoid arthritis demonstrated fewer clinical signs of inflammation after taking GLA-rich capsules for several months, compared to those who took a placebo. Other researchers reported reduced damage to joint tissues, and less joint pain and swelling, in those rheumatoid arthritis sufferers given very high GLA doses in the form of borage oil.
Borage oil also relieves the discomforts of PMS, endometriosis, and fibrocystic breasts. By interfering with the production of inflammatory substances called prostaglandins, which are released during menstruation, the GLA in borage oil may help ease related cramping and pain. Borage oil may also reduce some of the breast tenderness that women feel before their periods and calm endometriosis-associated inflammation. Many PMS sufferers are found to have unusually low levels of GLA in their systems, which is why supplements may help so much. In women with fibrocystic breasts, the oil’s essential fatty acids can minimize breast inflammation and promote the absorption of iodine, a mineral often found in abnormally low levels in those with this condition.
New Roots Herbal Borage Oil is certified organic and non-G.M.O. From its bristly stems to its blue star-shaped flowers, virtually all parts of the borage plant (Borago officinalis) have been used over the centuries for their healing properties and as a flavoring for foods. As early as the 1600s, Europeans mixed borage leaves and flowers into a wine that was renowned for relieving boredom and dispelling melancholy.
Like evening primrose oil and black currant seed oil, borage oil owes its healing power to the presence of essential fatty acids, the most important of which is GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid. (While borage oil is often used interchangeably with evening primrose oil, borage oil boasts more than twice as much GLA.) Once processed by the body, GLA is converted into hormone like substances that can either block inflammation or promote it. In borage oil, the GLA seems to calm inflammation overall, making it an attractive treatment option for arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Nature’s most potent concentration of GLA comes in the form of borage seed oil (24%). A great deal of scientific research has been conducted with supplements rich in GLA, resulting in significant interest regarding the aforementioned health ailments, as well as those affected by pre-menstrual syndrome, benign breast disease, eczema, psoriasis, obesity, and vascular disorders.
The essential fatty acids combined here have proven to impart a regulatory function on the body’s fatty acid metabolism. Fat metabolism is as important, if not more critical, than our body’s metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates as evidenced by the drastic rise in fat related degenerative diseases, such as vascular disease and strokes. Dietary essential fatty acids common to borage seed oil are ultimately converted to hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are important for the regulation of a host of bodily functions including inflammation, swelling, pain pressure in the eye, joints or blood vessels, secretions from mucus membranes and their viscosity, smooth muscle and autonomic reflexes, gastrointestinal system, arteries, ears, heart, water retention, blood clotting ability, allergic response, rheumatoid arthritis, nerve transmission, and steroid production & hormone synthesis.
Past and present scientific research supports the use of essential fatty acid nutrients in promoting optimal health. Borage seed oil is recognized as nature’s richest source of GLA. These natural plant substances used alone have created a great deal of interest in the treatment of numerous health problems. Evidence exists to suggest the combination of omega-3 fatty acids with gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) may further complement the therapeutic result of either fatty acid used singularly. -
Adults: As a source of essential fatty acids for maintenance of good health, take 2 softgels twice daily, or as directed by your health care practitioner.
Each softgel contains: Borago officinalis (Borage) (seed) oil 100% 1000 mg Contains not less than 24% GLA Gamma Linolenic Acid (24% GLA) 240 mg Linoleic Acid (37%) 370 mg Not bleached, deodorized or refined. Cold pressed.

Femina Flora kills both fungal (yeast) and bacterial (vaginitis) infections. It works by addressing the underlying PH conditions which cause Candida and bacteria to flourish.
New Roots Herbal’s Femina Flora takes an environmental approach to restore a woman’s vaginal health. Each capsule contains billions of friendly bacteria that establish a protective barrier against pathogenic infections. The vaginal area is typically rich in friendly bacteria and lactic acid. This acidic protective barrier shields a woman from infection. Nearly all entry points into the body are vulnerable to infection, including a woman’s vagina, which is susceptible to pathogenic bacteria and Candida yeast. This barrier can be weakened or rendered almost non-existent by any number of external influences: antibiotics and sulfonamides, contraceptives (both oral and topical), medicated or fragrant douches, certain vaginal medications, and diabetes. If the balance of friendly flora is altered, the pH level will rise to a neutral state and the entire region is left defenceless against invading pathogens. The typical approach to eliminating vaginal Candida infections is an antibiotic treatment which eradicates the Candida bacteria. Although this eliminates the condition short term, it does not help rebuild the protective barrier that protects against future infection. Quite the opposite many antibiotics decimate all forms of bacteria including the friendly “protective” lactic acid producing bacteria.
-
Adult women: Use 1 ovule per day. Insert 1 ovule intra-vaginally daily before bed for up to 10 days or as directed by your health care practitioner. Use at least 2–3 hours before or after antibiotics.
Each vaginal ovule contains:
Lactobacillus acidophilus
982 million CFU
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus
312 million CFU
Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus
616 million CFU
Cautions and warnings: For vaginal use only; do not ingest. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy; if you have nausea, fever, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, or severe abdominal pain. Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms of vaginal burning, itching, malodor, or abnormal discharge occur. Do not use if you have an immune-compromised condition (e.g.: AIDS, lymphoma, patients undergoing long-term corticosteroid treatment).
Keep refrigerated. Do not use if seal is broken. Keep out of reach of children.

New Roots Herbal Horny Goat Weed 500 mg
$ 29.80
Visit product page →-
Horny goat weed has a two-thousand-year history of use as a sex-enhancer. Scientific texts on Chinese herbs and top medical doctors in Shanghai report that horny goat weed boosts libido, improves erectile function, and helps to mitigate menopausal discomfort. The leaves contain a variety of flavonoids, polysaccharides, lignans, sesquiterpenes, phenolic and penethylol glycosides, ionones, sterols, and an alkaloid called magnaflorine. Horny goat weed is a botanical that has also been used traditionally in Japan. This herb is also used for disorders of the kidneys, joints, liver, back and knees. Horny goat weed’s most common use is as an aphrodisiac. Through research, horny goat weed has been found to have testosterone-like effects. It stimulates sexual activity for both men and women, increases male sperm production, stimulates the sensory nerve endings, and increases overall sexual desire.
Horny goat weed’s aphrodisiac effects have been verified in both animal and human research. Mice treated with a horny goat weed preparation produced “apparent effects on the improvement of sexuality”. It was also shown to improve their sperm producing capability. Since horny goat weed has been traditionally used for kidney disease, it is intriguing how it demonstrated an increase in the sexual drive and quality of life for patients with chronic renal failure.
Enzyme inhibiting
Research has shown that horny goat weed significantly increases testosterone levels in mice. This appears to be the herb’s main mechanism of action, although horny goat weed could have more than one. For example, through research, it has been established that sexual arousal is linked to the activity of cholinergic neurotransmitters. However, an enzyme called acetyl-cholinesterase (ACHE) inactivates cholinergic neurotransmitters within 1/500 of a second. Research shows that horny goat weed is capable of inhibiting ACHE. This in turn could support higher levels of the key cholinergic neurotransmitters associated with sexual arousal. Research has also shown that horny goat weed has anti-fatigue effects and aids in preventing adrenal exhaustion.Suggested Use:
Adults 19+: Take 1 capsule daily or as directed by your health care practitioner. Take for a minimum of 4 weeks to see improvements. Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 6 months.
