New Roots Herbal Vitamin E8 400 IU
On sale $ 23.82 $ 14.18
Visit product page →-
New Roots Herbal's Vitamin E8 contains all eight forms of vitamin E – four tocopherols and four tocotrienols, with squalenes, beta-sitosterols, all non-GMO certified.Vitamin E is one of the great fat-soluble antioxidants. It is able to go where ordinary water-soluble antioxidants cannot. Vitamin E helps stop oxygen in red blood cells from turning into harmful peroxides. As well, it protects other vitamins from oxidation in the digestive tract.
Most vitamin E products contain only d-alpha tocopherol and often the synthetic form. There is much more to vitamin E than d-alpha tocopherol. There are eight compounds that make up the vitamin E family. Our food contains all eight compounds and this is the form our bodies have been processing since the beginning of our time.
New Roots Herbal’s Vitamin E8 contains all eight members of the vitamin E family —four tocopherols and four tocotrienols— extracted from vegetable oils that are present in their natural, fully active unesterified form. The eight members of the vitamin E family have some functions that are similar and other functions that are completely different. For example, gamma-tocopherol has a greater ability to detoxify nitrogen radicals that are associated with neurological disease, inflammation, and prostate cancer.
New Roots Herbal’s Vitamin E8 is sourced from GMO-free sources. This natural, comprehensive vitamin E supplement provides all the benefits of vitamin E you would obtain from food and includes the benefits of tocotrienols, phytosterols and squalenes. Phytosterols have cholesterol-lowering properties and may reduce the risk of heart disease. They are very important in maintaining good skin health and a youthful appearance. Squalenes interact with glycolipids present in the skin. They help maintain the skin’s barrier properties and flexibility and help maintain suppleness. -
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 1 softgel daily or as directed by your health care practitioner.
Contains no: Preservative, artificial flavour or colour, wheat or cornEach softgel contains : Vitamin E (D-Alpha tocopherol) 400 i.u.

“Super energizing! Nothing beats phytoplankton for improving your overall energy level. Tastes like salt/ocean water, not too bad. Start with one drop, work up to a dropperful per day! You will love it.”
- K Noel from Ottawa, ON Canada
What is Phytoplankton?
This unique super-nutrient from the ocean provides the body with an increase in residual energy that builds up significantly when it is ingested on a daily basis. With its abundance of naturally produced vitamins, minerals and original life force (absorbed directly from the Sun), everyone that partakes will enjoy a ‘whole body’ inner strength that they have never experienced before.
A team of European doctors, microbiologists and botanists spent many years and millions of dollars researching 40,000 species of marine phytoplankton in the ocean to determine the best species in each category to use for bio-fuel, aqua culture, exotic fish food and ultimately human consumption. Only four species of Marine Phytoplankton were found to be beneficial for human consumption and based on nutritional profiles, one species was super beneficial and was the single species chosen for production.
As a result of this extensive research, technologically advanced commercial facilities have now been developed and constructed to produce marine phytoplankton in large volume using sophisticated bio-reactors. The bio-reactors consist of extensive glass tubing interconnected in a horizontal grid the size of a football field. A ‘Spring Bloom’ environment is created that allows natural photosynthesis to occur using sunlight to grow the marine phytoplankton bio-mass. The purified seawater solution in which the marine phytoplankton grows ensures that there are no other species contaminating the bio-mass. This method produces a pure ‘Beyond Organic’ super concentrated nutrient.
Once the bio-mass reaches maturity, it is then harvested into a powerful centrifuge that spins the water out from around the cells but leaves the water within the cells protecting the valuable life energy. The centrifuged bio-mass has the consistency of thick peanut butter.
To create the ‘Ocean’s Alive’ liquid nutrient combination, the live marine phytoplankton bio-mass is transferred from the centrifuge and immediately blended into an ‘ocean derived’ concentrated ionic trace mineral solution. This concentrated solution is highly beneficial to human health as it contains more than 90 ionic and trace minerals and is produced using a natural evaporation process employing the sun and the wind, which eliminates 93% of the sodium.
This purified ocean water concentrate has the power to preserve the marine phytoplankton in suspended animation, protecting the original life energy, allowing it to be bottled and stored at room temperature with no deterioration. The live blend is finally potentized energetically with its own frequency to maximize the nutritional life force!
People that experience Ocean’s Alive are known to enjoy enhanced brain function, improved immune function, antiviral/anti-fungal/antibacterial effects, improved cellular repair, radiation protection, cancer protection, detoxification support, anti-inflammatory support, antioxidant support, improved circulation, improved heart function, allergy/asthma relief and a residual ‘grounding energy’ overall. There are hundreds of references in text books detailing the vast array of human health benefits gained through the consumption of marine phytoplankton.
The intense chlorophyll content in Ocean’s Alive also increases oxygen uptake and higher oxygen uptake means more fuel to muscles, which translates to improved performance and endurance. With the smallest nano-particulate size of all micro algae’s, Ocean’s Alive delivers vital life energy at the DNA/Mitochondria level and also penetrates the blood/brain barrier feeding the higher master glands located deep in the brain stimulating significant mental clarity.
Ocean’s Alive Liquid Marine Phytoplankton provides powerful nutrition allowing people to invest in their health and get a bountiful return on their investment.

Pau D'arco has been found to have antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic and antifungal properties, including anti-candida, anticancerous and antitumor properties. Bulk powdered form.
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.
-
Combine 3 tablespoons of tea with 1 litre/quart of water. Boil for five minutes then let simmer for 20 minutes. Thereafter, drink as a tea. Use purified water only.
Each bag contains: 454g of Pau d'arco Taheebo (inner bark) (Tabebuia Heptaphylla)

General information
History
First historic traces of this Amazonian nut date back to 1570. At that time, a Spanish colonel named Juan Álvarez Maldonado, heard about the Brazil nuts and their many nutritional benefits and it impelled him to start harvesting this nut to feed to his troops. In 1633, the first commercial exchanges began between Brazil and the Netherlands.
In 1866, the Amazonian river was open for business commute which opened the door to mass exportation and became a vital income for local farmers in the area. Today, the Brazil nut is one of the most important exported items in the area.Culinary Uses

General information
History
The Chia seed also known as Salva hispanica, comes from the Salvia plant and is of the same family as mint (Lamiaceae). Chia is originally from Mexico's central valleys.
Cultivated by the Aztecs and Mayans, the chia seed was an integral part of their daily diet.
Chia, signifying "Strength" in Mayan, was once used in religious ceremonies and consumed before intense activities. The Aztecs believed it gave them mystical, almost supernatural energy and power.Culinary Uses
It is not necessary to grind the chia seeds to enjoy its benefits. It is recommended that you chew your food thoroughly to break down its nutrients.
It is incredibly easy to eat the chia seed! Combined with smoothies, cereal and yogourt, chia seed’s soaking action enables it to produce chlorophyll and thus providing a higher nutrient content. Liquids also enable the seed to bind all the ingredients together.
Try it in salad dressings, muffins, soups, salads, sauces and so much more. The taste of chia seed is very light so you can incorporate it into your meals without altering the taste of your dish.
Excellent thickening agent, chia seeds are excellent when added to your soups, pie crusts and breads. Chia seeds can also be used to replace eggs in recipes by incorporating 1 tablespoon of chia for each egg. For best results, use of ground chia seeds.1 tbsp = 1 egg
NOTE : It is best to soak 1 tbsp of chia seeds in 3 tbsps of water for approximately 30 minutes before using it in your recipes, more specifically breads and muffins.Preservation
Can be preserved in a cool, dry cupboard protected from light and humidity for up to 24 months.

Prana Thompson Organic Raisins
$ 3.49
Visit product page →One of the oldest fruit cultivated by man, the raisin is a nature’s classic and irresistible candy that is as versatile as it is healthy. An excellent source of vitamin C, raisins are important in the absorption of minerals on a daily basis.
Thompson raisins come from the same variety as the Sultana raisins. Named after William Thompson who introduced this variety in California, this sweet fruit is the equivalent of the Mediterranean variety. Adapted to North-American weather, Thompson raisins have developed characteristics, colour and flavour all of their own. The difference between the two varieties is that the Thompson raisin is much darker in colour and bigger in size than the Sultana variety.Nutrition & Benefits
- Excellent source of manganese and flavonoids, they help fight oxidative stress and prevent damages causes by free radicals
- Excellent source of glucose and vitamin C, it is an energising fruit and it regulates the immune system
- Excellent source of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, they help regulate the digestive track and reduces risks of contracting colon cancer
- Contains high levels of iron, iron and vitamin B complex, this fruit is recommended for people with anemia and helps blood coagulation
Careful: The only difference between Thomson and Sultana raisins is the place of harvest and the drying process. Furthermore, many golden raisins have been synthetically treated to maintain their light hue. This form of sulfite preservative has been used for centuries to prevent darkening of the fruit during the drying process.

Being the dried form of sweet grapes, raisins were discovered for the first time, not on purpose but by accident, when they were found in the dried form on vines as early as 2000 BC. Wall paintings from the ancient times show that these dry fruits were consumed and used as decorations in the Mediterranean regions of Europe.
It is also believed that the Romans used raisins as barter currency, beautified their places of worship with them and they were given as prizes to the winners of sporting events. It was in late 19th century that raisins became popular in America, when a heat wave destroyed the grape harvest and left behind the dehydrated form.Culinary Uses
Raisins are a classic choice for any time you crave a snack. They are delicious whether they are eaten alone or thrown together in a mix of nuts, seeds and other dried fruits. Raisins are also a key ingredient in a bunch of recipes such as those for breads, pastries, salads or couscous – just use your imagination!
