Ingredients: Green Yerba Maté, Lemon Myrtle, Ginger Root.
Size: (20 Bags) 70g / 2.5oz
Box Art: The Jaguar is a common wild cat in the subtropical forests of Brazil. Its agility represents the zest of our Lemon Ginger Yerba Maté.
Features:
European explorers first learned of Yerba Maté in 1592 from the native tribes. Today, the pounded leaves of the caá, known as “erva maté” to those who now live in the lands of the Guarani, are used to brew a rich, stimulating tea, held to be synonymous with health, vitality and a long life.
The Healthy Energizer
The energizing effects of Yerba Maté are longer lasting than traditional caffeine beverages, and are found by most to be free from side effects such as, the jitters, mood swings, addiction, and post stimulation fatigue. The bottom line is, Yerba Maté gives you energy that really feels good.
Yerba Maté is more than just an invigorating brew. It is one of nature’s best sources of antioxidants. In addition, a full complement of vitamins and minerals (including chlorophyll, vitamins A, B, C, E, magnesium, potassium, iron, pantothenic acid, and much more) help make a cup of Maté tea an excellent immune-boosting brew.
Minerally Rich in….
Our Generous Portions & Quality Ingredients
This Yerba Maté Tea box contains 20 large unbleached teabags of high-quality Yerba. All of our teabags contain 3.5 grams of tea – DOUBLE the size of most teabags on the market, so you can enjoy more of the flavour, nutrition, and energizing effects of Yerba Maté! In addition to careful quality control of our Yerba, we spare no effort in finding the highest quality herbs and spices to use in our flavoured maté teas.
Why Does Maté Factor® Yerba Maté Taste So Good?
Most Yerba Maté sold in the USA is aged for 1-2 years before being packaged, according to cultural traditions from Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. However, in Brazil, Maté is commonly preferred as fresh as possible. The Maté Factor prefers this style, since it preserves the life-giving nutrients and the fresh green taste.
We have spent years perfecting the art of creating delicately delicious Yerba Maté. We have painstakingly learned the vast array of factors that control the final flavour and vibrancy, in order to produce the best tasting, most nutritious Yerba Maté tea possible!
We dry our Yerba Maté using an art we have developed that preserves the natural flavour and also keeps our original green flavour maté tea free from smoke. This low heat process protects natural enzymes that exist in Yerba Maté.
We use one hundred percent certified organic Yerba Maté, responsibly grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers – which in addition, preserves the environment where our Maté is grown.
Farmer Friendly – Fairly Traded
We use 100% percent certified organic Yerba Maté, responsibly grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The Maté Factor is founded on providing a fair wage to the conscientious people in South America who provide our special Maté. Our company was founded on helping the producers earn a fair wage for their labor. We enjoy a personal, mutually beneficial relationship with our producers and have worked together closely in promoting organics in both the United States and Brazil.
Yerba Maté & Weight Loss
Yerba Maté is believed to aid in weight loss and has growing interest in those studying obesity control. Studies cite Yerba Maté to potentially interfere with cholesterol metabolism and delay intestinal absorption of dietary fat.
Obese men and women consuming Maté tea have shown a decrease in respiratory quotient (RQ), indicating an increase in fat oxidation.
A study done in 1998 at the Foundation University of Rio Grande, Brazil, showed that Maté is capable of vaso relaxation of arterial beds, which that the it may be able to lower the risk for heart disease in the same way that red wine is believed to do.

New Roots Herbal Acidophilus Ultra
On sale $ 30.75 $ 27.68
Acidophilus Ultra is a synergistic blend of eleven probiotics and 11 billion live active cells to combat digestive disturbances, diarrhea, constipation, gas & bloating and lactose intolerance. Each capsule has PH5D enteric coating (PH5D coating ensures capsule contents survive stomach acids and are slowly released in the intestines only).
Probiotics play a major role in building the immune system, keeping your intestines clean, combating candida yeast infections, regulating constipation or diarrhea, and increasing the bioavailability of essential nutrients to form superior quality blood and overall health. Taking probiotics is essential after antibiotic treatment, as they replenish the immune regulating intestinal flora destroyed by them.
Each of the 11 different probiotic cultures gives you a special benefit; and each probiotic culture is delivered to a unique reception site along the intestines to make you healthier. Acidophilus Ultra’s special formula of probiotics from New Roots Herbal is hypo-allergenic and gluten free. Importantly, we use an advanced water based PH5D enteric coating. This ensures the highest survival rate of the probiotic contents which yields the highest therapeutic benefit. This coating offers the choice to be taken on an empty stomach or with foods to deliver full potency beyond what can be obtained from fortified yoghurts, tablets, powders or capsules without enteric coating.
Adults, adolescents, and children over 1 year old: Take 1–2 capsules daily with water or juice or as directed by your health care practitioner.

New Roots Herbal Borage Oil Certified Organic
On sale $ 28.05 $ 23.84
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 | |

Chill Pills is non-addictive and non drowsy. While working at the office or elsewhere, Chill Pills will improve your concentration, reduce stress levels, calm your nerves and help you work more effectively.
If you’re like most people today, you have too much on your plate and are under constant pressure and deadlines-at work, home or maybe even at play.
Although we all talk about stress, often it isn’t really clear what it means. When your body is under stress it is effectively triggering the flight or fight response. When your body is busy fighting or fleeing, it is not restoring and healing.
Stress is useful at times when the “moment” matters more than the future, but chronic stress can lead to degenerative conditions. It is important to understand how to achieve a natural state of intrinsic contentment through physical exercise and supporting nutrients.
Rather than numbing the mind as many anti-depressants do, Chill Pills uses natural ingredients that reduce nervous irritability and induce relaxation so you can calm down and concentrate.
Chill Pills are a natural herbal and vitamin synergistic “feel good” formula that brightens your mood, and most importantly, relieves stress. It also reduces nervous irritability and induces relaxation so you can calm down and concentrate. Chill Pills is non-addictive and will not make you drowsy. While working at the office or elsewhere, Chill Pills will improve your concentration, interactions with people, coping with active children, and help you work more effectively. Use Chill Pills and you will feel great, look at life positively, feel good about yourself, enjoy the company of your friends and family and conquer your anxious feelings.
As a dietary supplement, take 1-2 capsules daily as needed or as directed by your health care practitioner.

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 |

New Roots Herbal Grapefruit Seed Extract
$ 10.38
Grapefruit seed extract is being used successfully in humans and animals alike to eliminate many types of internal and external infections caused from many types of parasites (single and multi-celled), viruses, bacterium, and funguses. It naturally detoxifies, enhances and supports the immune system. It has been proven highly effective in numerous applications.
Grapefruit seed extract contains high levels of vitamin C and E, and bioflavonoids. The important substances have an antioxidant action and can neutralize free radicals that damage cells and cause numerous illnesses.
Grapefruit seed extract (GSE) contains mainly polyphenolic compounds, including quercetin, hesperidin, campherol glycoside, neohesperidin, naringin, apigenin, rutinoside, poncirin, etc. The polyphenols themselves are unstable but are chemically converted into more stable substances that belong to a diverse class of products, called quaternary ammonium compounds. Some quaternary compounds, benzethonium chloride and benzalkonium chloride, for example, are used industrially as antimicrobials, but are toxic to animal life. The B vitamin choline is also a quaternary compound, but is non toxic and even essential for maintaining healthy neurological function and fat metabolism.
GSE features the best of both worlds: the quaternary compounds derived from grapefruit exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, while evidencing none of the toxic side effects of chemically derived quaternaries. According to an independent laboratory testing “Acute Oral Toxicity,” it would take at least 4 000 times the normal dose of GSE to produce a 50% chance of poisoning (called LD50).
Shake well. As a dietary supplement, mix 5-15 drops in a glass of water or juice, 1 to 3 times daily, with or without meals.
Ingredients: Grapefruit seed extract and vegetable glycerine only. This grapefruit seed extract is a natural extract of grapefruit, lemon, and tangerine seed.
Contains no: preservatives, artificial flavour or colour, sugar, milk, starch, wheat, corn, soy or yeast.
Caution: Do not put in eyes or use full strength in mouth, ears, nose or sensitive areas. May cause irritation if used directly on the skin.

New Roots Herbal Horny Goat Weed 500 mg
$ 29.80
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.
