New Roots Herbal Grapefruit Seed Extract
$ 10.38
Visit product page →-
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
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.

New Roots Herbal Pau d’Arco Taheebo (Liquid)
$ 24.95
Visit product page →-
Pau D'arco has been found to have antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic and antifungal properties, including anti-candida, anticancerous and antitumor properties. Liquid extract.
Pau d’arco has been deeply prized by many of the indigenous tribes of South America. They were well aware of Pau d’arco’s numerous health benefits and used it for just about every health problem. Perhaps, pau d’arco’s most impressive use may be its reputation for fighting cancer. Since 1960, medical doctors in South America, at the Santo Andre hospital, São Paulo, Brazil, have used pau d’arco to treat terminally ill cancer patients. Well known herbalists report that pau d’arco cures leukemia and reduces pain in cancer patients. It also increases blood cell counts, enabling it to fight many illnesses.
Pau d’arco uses are many. It is also used to treat ulcers, diabetes, rheumatism, ring worm, bronchitis and other respiratory problems, gonorrhea, hemorrhages, cystitis, colitis, gastritis, Parkinson’s, arteriosclerosis, Hodgkin’s, lupus, polyps, prostatis, leucorrhea, candidiasis, endometriosis, fibroids, cysts, growths and tumors, anemia and inflammation of the urinary tract, just to mention some of this incredible herb’s uses.
Its anticancerous properties were first attributed to a phytochemical found in the bark and wood, called lapachol. In a 1968 study, lapachol demonstrated highly significant activity against cancerous tumors in rats. Another research group developed a lapachol analog in 1975, which was effective in increasing the life span by over 80% in mice inoculated with leukemic cells. In a small study in 1980 with nine patients with various cancers (liver, kidney, breast, prostate and cervix), pure lapachol demonstrated an ability to shrink tumors and achieved complete remissions in three of the patients.
Pau d’arco is known to eliminate toxins in the body and purify the blood. In an original weight loss research study performed in Chicago in 1992, women’s chronic yeast infections cleared up promptly when pau d’arco was added to the formula. Pau d’arco also has anti-inflammatory characteristics, making it useful in the treatment of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. The safest and best part of the herb to use is the whole inner bark, brewed as a tea.
-
Shake well. Take 5–7 drops in purified water or hot water for tea or directly under the tongue two or three times daily.
Each ml contains: An extract of pau d’arco equal to 1,000 mg extracted in a liquid composed of organic grain ethanol (25%) and purified water.

New Roots Herbal Probiotics Urgency 50 Billion
On sale $ 43.45 $ 25.20
Visit product page →-
Probiotics Urgency will re-establish a strong, natural healthy gut flora. It helps treat acute infectious diarrhea and greatly reduces the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. It may prevent diseases.New Roots Herbal is excited to be adding Probiotic Urgency to its family of probiotic supplements. Each enteric coated capsule of Probiotic Urgency contains 50 billion colony forming units of ten clinically proven complimentary probiotic strains.
The popularity of probiotics has mushroomed over the past decade. The evidence supporting the effectiveness of large doses to deal with more acute health concerns has led New Roots Herbal to develop Probiotic Urgency.
The 50 billion live cells in each special water based PH5D enteric coated capsule are formulated with prebiotics (soluble fibers) that selectively stimulate site specific probiotic proliferation. The 10 mg. each of Fructo-oligosaccharides and Arabino-oligosaccharides per capsule provide the nutrients necessary to maximize the therapeutic potential of Probiotic Urgency at the intestinal level.
The disruption to intestinal health and immune system function caused by extensive use of broad spectrum antibiotics has led to increased incidences of infection caused by opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms. People suffering from Candida overgrowth and C.dificile infection, which frequently occur in immune suppressed persons or those enduring hospital stays, can benefit from the introduction of large probiotic colonies as they crowd out pathogenic microorganisms. Probiotic Urgency can be taken for relief from infection of pathogenic microorganisms or as a preemptive measure in anticipation of expose to these threats.
Probiotic Urgency can also serve as an effective ally for coping with the devastating effects of traveler’s diarrhea, a bacterial infection most commonly caused by E.coli, Salmonella, and Shigella bacteria. Probiotic Urgency can also improve immune system function during cold and flu season.
Research studies conducted at University Cork College in Ireland have shown treatment with the probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis, found in Probiotic Urgency to have normalizing effects in cases of irritable bowel syndrome. These studies reported people benefitting from relief of the symptoms of IBS including constipation, diarrhea, and bloating related to the overgrowth of gram negative bacteria, yeasts, and parasites.
The strain selection and dose found in Probiotic Urgency are formulated to restore the dominance of friendly gut flora (probiotics) within the intestines. These probiotic strains facilitate vitamin synthesis, improve nutrient absorption, and restore superior immune system function.
Probiotic Urgency joins Acidophilus Ultra and Hospital Defense Bacteria in the New Roots Herbal probiotic product line. Ongoing research for new age and illness related products promise to tap into the still emerging benefits of probiotic supplementation. -

New Roots Herbal Prostate Perform
On sale $ 48.93 $ 36.70
Visit product page →-
Prostate Perform is an effective prostate support formulation. Prostate Perform relieves the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia including frequent urination particularly at night, inconsistent stream, the strain to urinate, prostate growth, and fertility.
The prostate – it’s a problem for the majority of men as they age. It can lead to unnecessary problems later in life including surgery. This small gland, located just below the bladder, impacts both your urinary and sexual functions. Every man has a very effective early warning system; problems during urination or ejaculation may indicate an enlarged prostate (BPH, benign prostate hyperplasia).
Typically, problems with the prostate involve BPH. Men starting at age 40 continue to produce and accumulate high levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate. This accumulation of DHT may encourage the growth of cells. In time, this growth in the prostate gland can become problematic by causing pressure against the urethra, resulting in many BPH symptoms.
DHT is both a inhibitory and activating hormone, like a switch. For example, it turns some hair follicles on, causing hair growth, like the hair on our faces, while it turns others off, like the hair on our scalps.
Prostate Perform contains phytosterols in different forms such as saw palmetto, soy, pygeum and rye flower pollen, all of which are standardized to attain effective result. Phytosterols are plant cholesterols which show ample evidence to aid with the symptoms of BPH. It also combines vitamins, minerals, amino acids, nutraceuticals and fatty acids to support prostate metabolism and protect from further disease.
A maintenance regimen of New Roots Herbal’s Prostate Perform is a smart addition to your nutritional program. Our innovative formula acts as a proactive, one-stop supplement to help ensure optimal male health. Prostate Perform is a comprehensive formula that goes beyond only concerns for benign prostatic hyperplasia; offering total prostate support.Adult Men: Take 1-2 softgels daily with food or as directed by your health care practitioner.

New Roots Herbal Red Palm Fruit Oil
On sale $ 10.31 $ 8.25
Visit product page →Red Palm Fruit Oil is a nutritious and tasty way to protect your brain, heart, skin, and other organs from disease and aging, as well as boost your metabolism and help reduce stubborn belly fat. It boosts metabolism and energy, is rich in antioxidants, cholesterol- and trans-fat- free, and sourced from an RSPO*-accredited supplier.* Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil
Its deep red/orange color comes from a high concentration of carotenes like betacarotene (provitamin A) and lycopene, the antioxidants found in carrots and tomatoes, but which occur in red palm fruit oil in much higher concentrations. The body converts betacarotene into vitamin A, which helps promote a strong immune system and builds good vision. Red palm fruit oil is one of the richest natural sources of tocotrienols and tocopherols (vitamin E) that act as scavengers of damaging free
radicals and play a protective role against aging and atherosclerosis. The combination of vitamin E, tocotrienols, carotenes, coenzyme Q10, and other antioxidants makes red palm fruit oil a super- antioxidant food.
The antioxidant power of this unique oil may help protect against diseases such as osteoporosis, cataracts, macular degeneration, arthritis, and liver disease. Plus, it can help protect the skin from UV- ray damage and premature aging. And because red palm fruit oil goes directly to the liver, it not only doesn’t get stored as fat like traditional oils but it actually helps ignite the metabolism and helps you burn calories from fat much faster.Suggested uses: As is, on vegetables, in salads, spread on bread, for cooking, baking, high-heat frying, etc. No refrigeration required. Naturally thickens to a paste.
Red palm fruit oil is an excellent source of vitamins A and E. It contains 3 to 6 times more retinol equivalents than carrots, and 40 to 50 times more retinol equivalents than tomatoes (weight for weight). Among all vegetable oils, red palm fruit oil has by far the highest level of naturally occurring tocotrienols (11 mg per 15 ml portion); tocopherols and tocotrienols are two forms of vitamin E, an antioxidant. Red palm fruit oil is non?hydrogenated. Contains 1.2 mg coenzyme Q10 per 15 ml portion. No artificial colours or preservatives.
Not a significant source of cholesterol, sodium, fibre, sugars, vitamin C, calcium or iron.

New Roots Herbal Vitamin C8 - 527 mg (Capsules)
On sale $ 13.12 $ 9.83
Visit product page →-
Vitamin C8 provides eight forms of buffered Vitamin C. Vitamin C8 is less acidic and ideal for gastrointestinal challenges. Formulated with additional nutraceuticals, bioflavonoids, quercetin and rutin enabling the vitamin C to remain in blood 4 times longer.
Vitamin C8 delivers a more complete vitamin C supplement. Vitamin C8 is an antioxidant that comes in many different forms and claims regarding its effectiveness and bioavailability. Vitamin C8 uses a number of different buffered sources in order to provide you with the most versatile vitamin C supplement available.
Not all vitamin C products are created equal — For your body to truly get all the benefits of vitamin C, it needs to get it from more than one source. Vitamin C8 combines calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, manganese, selenium and sodium mineral ascorbates with ascorbyl palmitate, to provide a full spectrum of powerful antioxidant benefits. Only Vitamin C8 offers 8 assisted pathways of absorption and retention for 24 hours or more. Vitamin C8 does even more for your health. Vitamin C8 helps enhance your immune strength, provides a good source of electrolytes, and replenishes your energy before or after workouts. Plus it offers the protection of 3 cups worth of green tea per capsule!
What makes Vitamin C8 great? — Vitamin C8 is formulated with minerals bonded with vitamin C, a superior form called ascorbates.
Calcium Ascorbate — Calcium ascorbate is a natural form of vitamin C, which is much more readily absorbed in the blood stream than other forms of calcium. Importantly, calcium is coupled with vitamin C to deliver the benefits of both calcium and vitamin C.
Magnesium Ascorbate — Magnesium ascorbate, which provides both magnesium and vitamin C, appears to be a unique and promising product, in that both the components have the potential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body. It is essential to build the bones and teeth and numerous metabolic functions. Magnesium ascorbate is a neutral salt having significantly higher gastrointestinal tolerance.
Potassium Ascorbate — Potassium is an essential dietary mineral that is also known as an electrolyte. The term “electrolyte” refers to a substance that dissociates into ions (charged particles) in solution making it capable of conducting electricity. The normal functioning of our bodies depends on the tight regulation of potassium concentrations both inside and outside of cells.
Manganese Ascorbate — Manganese is important in the breakdown of amino acids and the production of energy. It activates various enzymes for proper digestion and utilization of foods. Manganese also helps nourish the nerves and brain and is necessary for normal skeletal development.
Selenium Ascorbate — Selenium ascorbate helps boost the immune system and protect cells against the effects of free radicals. Some studies suggest that selenium may reduce the risk of breast, prostate, liver, lung and skin disease.
Zinc Ascorbate — Zinc is a component of the enzymes involved in most major metabolic pathways in human and animal nutrition with a wide range of biological roles. Zinc plays catalytic, structural and regulatory roles in more than 200 zinc metalloenzymes that have been identified in biological systems. These enzymes are involved in nucleic acid and protein metabolism and the production of energy among other things. Zinc plays structural roles in so-called zinc fingers. Zinc fingers are exploited by transcription factors for interacting with DNA and regulating the activity of genes. Another structural role of zinc is in the maintenance of the integrity of biological membranes resulting in their protection against oxidative injury.
Sodium Ascorbate — Sodium ascorbate is buffered (non-acidic) and will not contribute to gastric irritation in acid-sensitive persons. Calcium/magnesium, potassium and manganese all play an important role since a constant blood value of these minerals is required for a normal rhythmic heartbeat, healthy nerve transmission, and strong muscle contractions. Once a muscle contracts, calcium leaves and only then, magnesium replaces it, then the muscle can return to a relaxed state. Potassium and sodium are present not only as an electrolyte but also as an antioxidant. A deficiency of manganese can lead to excess perspiration that contributes to premature electrolyte depletion.
Ascorbyl palmitate — Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble antioxidant. It is actually both water- and fat-soluble, allowing it to be incorporated into cell membranes. When incorporated into the cell membranes of human red blood cells, ascorbyl palmitate has been found to protect them from oxidative damage and to protect vitamin E (another fat-soluble antioxidant) from oxidation by free radicals. When taking ascorbyl palmitate orally, it becomes hydrolyzed and broken apart into palmitate and ascorbic acid in the human digestive tract before it is absorbed. The presence of ascorbyl palmitate in Vitamin C8 contributes to the ascorbic acid content and helps protect lipid-soluble antioxidants during storage.
Nutraceuticals — Vitamin C8 provides additional antioxidant protection with the inclusion of nutraceutical extracts. These natural food sources exist in harmony with the whole foods they are derived from. While isolated sources of antioxidants offer increased potency, whole food sources offer natural balance and synergy and provide us with a whole host of natural forms of minerals, antioxidants, antibacterial and disease fighting agents.
Green Tea 75% EGCG — Studies in laboratories have suggested that flavonoid polyphenol-type antioxidants may lower the risk of disease developing or spreading. In these studies, the chemicals in green tea slowed the growth of blood vessels that fed tumors. They also limited the amount of estrogen that might fuel the growth of some diseased breast cells. EGCG inhibits 5-alpha reductase. Inhibitors of 5AR may be effective in the treatment of 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone-dependent abnormalities. The EGCG in green tea has been proven to prevent, inhibit, attack or induce death in diseased prostate, breast, lung, mouth, stomach and colon cells.
Multi-Anthocyanidins 20%, bilberry 25%, Grape seed extract 95% and Cranberry 107× extracts — Proanthocyanidins, anthocyanidins and cyanidins are a group of bioflavonoids that have powerful antioxidant properties. These flavonoids in Vitamin C8 are derived from multiple fruit sources, including strawberry, bilberry, blueberry, grape, cherry, cranberry and elderberry. All of them serve a slightly different role in added antioxidant protection and are also included for scavenging free radicals.
Citrus bioflavonoids — Bioflavonoids are a class of water-soluble plant pigments. Vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits, are often rich sources of bioflavonoids as well. The effect of bioflavonoids on the bioavailability of ascorbic acid has been examined in two small published studies. In one study, ascorbic acid given in a natural citrus extract containing bioflavonoids (in the ratio of bioflavonoids to ascorbic acid of 4:1), proteins, and carbohydrates, was more slowly absorbed and 35% more bioavailable than ascorbic acid alone, based on plasma levels of ascorbate over time and 24-hour urinary excretion of ascorbate.
Quercetin and rutin — Quercetin is a flavonoid that forms the “backbone” for many other flavonoids, including the citrus flavonoids rutin, hesperidin, naringin and tangeritin. Quercetin & rutin have many health promoting effects, including improvement of cardiovascular health, reducing risk for disease. They have anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects and help the absorption and retention of vitamin C. All these activities are caused by their strong antioxidant action. They will help to combat free radical molecules which can damage cells.
Black pepper 95% extract — The active ingredient in both black pepper and long pepper is the alkaloid, piperine. Experiments carried out to evaluate the scientific basis for the use of peppers have shown that piperine significantly enhances bioavailability when consumed with other substances and increases the absorption of other nutraceuticals. For this reason, piperine has been formulated to increase absorption of Vitamin C8.
Proteolytic Enzymes — Bromelain from pineapple and papain from papaya are proteolytic enzymes that are essential for the digestion of proteins. They work through mechanism by which they break down peptide bonds of the extracellular matrix molecules holding the cells together, which in this case help to increase the bioavailability of this ascorbate-nutraceutical matrix. They are both potent digestants that resist the degradation from the conditions that prevail in the human digestive tract. Through its prostaglandin regulating properties, bromelain can moderate inflammatory symptoms, shorten recovery time and ameliorate excessive clotting which is attributed to inflammation. -
