Recognized as antigens, the immune system produces antibodies to start the process of the proteins’ degradation and removal.

As a blood clotting protein, the body utilizes fibrin to contain blood loss and keep infection at bay after injury. It is the initial step in the body’s attempts at recovery. However, when inflammation has become prolonged, fibrin along with other proteins such as collagen can begin to transform original tissue into a tough fibrous matrix. Differentiated and sometimes sequestered apart from healthy tissue, this fibrous matrix still has the biological markers of inflammation.

By combining and enhancing the activity of the enzymes, their effects on the healing process are more attainable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I take Exclzyme with digestive enzymes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eAlthough digestive and systemic enzymes are not contraindicated in terms of ingredients, they cannot be taken at the same time.

Because systemic enzymes require an empty stomach for maximum absorption, they must be taken separately from digestive enzymes.

Our bodies normally secrete sufficient levels of plasmin, an important enzyme present in the blood that degrades many blood plasma proteins and blood clots.

During the blood clotting process, the soluble protein fibrinogen converts into insoluble fibrin, which is then laid down inside the damaged blood vessel. The fibrin strands then assemble into a net-like gel that hardens and captures all of the materials necessary to patch the damaged vessel. This is the structural framework of a blood clot. Obviously, fibrin plays a vital role in the healing process; however, when there is fibrin overproduction, it can lead to the formation of dangerous and unnecessary blood clots in the body [1]. One factor that can lead to excessive fibrin is ageing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eAs we age, the concentration of fibrinogen increases in our blood [2]. High levels of fibrinogen increases fibrin production, and as fibrin begins to accumulate in the blood vessels it generally leads to the formation of blood clots [3]. Healthy individuals usually have sufficient levels of plasmin, an enzyme that breaks up fibrin blood clots. Unfortunately plasmin production slows down as we get older so the normal process of removing excess fibrin is reduced. The result of this can be cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary emboli, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other related disorders [4-8].\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eNeprinol\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eResearch has shown that protein-dissolving enzymes like those found in Neprinol can slow the production of fibrin and enhance its removal from the body [1]. Neprinol's blend of enzymes generally tests well above 50,000 FU per gram, which means that 50,000 units of fibrin are broken down by each gram of Neprinol powder. Of the enzymes contained in this formula perhaps the most significant is nattokinase, which has been shown to be four times more powerful than our body's own plasmin at breaking down blood clots [9].\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eNattokinase\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eNattokinase is an enzyme extracted from natto, a fermented soybean 'cheese' that is popular in Japan [10].

Every enzyme has a specific reactant known as a substrate, which can be thought of like a lock and a key. Only a specific enzyme (or key) will react (or unlock) its substrate. This is the reason why enzymes are unable to break down necessary and vital tissue, as they only react with certain harmful proteins in the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eWhat are \"Systemic Enzymes\"?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eWhen enzymes are introduced into the bloodstream, they work “systemically”, or throughout the entire body. Taking enzymes on an empty stomach allows them to work systemically since they will bypass the upper digestive process and enter the bloodstream through the intestine. Systemic enzymes are similar to digestive enzymes, though certain enzymes are better designed for systemic activity as opposed to digestion due to the materials they react with, such as Serrapeptase and Nattokinase. These two enzymes are very efficient with the breakdown of a particular substance known as Fibrin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eWhat is Fibrin?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eFibrin is a protein substance naturally formed in the human body that plays a significant role in our health and general well-being. Fibrin is responsible for scar tissue formation, and is produced as a reaction to injury.

Enzymes that are susceptible to destruction in acidic conditions must be protected for delivery to the small intestine. Systemic enzymes will begin to lose their activity once introduced into the low pH (1.0-3.0) acids of the stomach. The amount of activity loss is dependent upon the individual enzyme and the amount of time it spends in the stomach. Studies have shown that unprotected enzymes can lose up to 100% of their activity in fewer than 30 minutes in pH levels below 3.0. The only reliable method of ensuring that 100% of the enzymes are not destroyed by the stomach acids is to enteric-coat the enzymes. Vxe has been formulated to use an enteric coated gel capsule manufactured under pharmaceutical-grade guidelines.*     \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eVxe, serrapeptase, enzymes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eThough revolutionary to nutritional enzyme blends, this enteric coating process is similar to that used in todays most advanced products. The capsule has an all-natural shell barrier that allows it to withstand the extremely low pH levels found in the stomach.

Neprinol contains a blend of fibrinolytic (fibrin degrading) enzymes that specifically address fibrin levels in the body. Our bodies normally secrete sufficient levels of plasmin, an important enzyme present in the blood that degrades many blood plasma proteins and blood clots. Plasmin, our own natural blood thinner, is responsible for maintaining normal blood solvency by removing unnecessary accumulated protein.

And when it comes to improving your health, one of the most potent targets an enzyme can seek and destroy is a fibrous protein called fibrin. Neprinol contains a powerful combination of fibrin-dissolving enzymes like serrapeptase, nattokinase and bromelain, as well as other natural ingredients. That is why it is known as Neprinol AFD – Advanced Fibrin Defense®. But to understand why the body needs help defending itself against fibrin you first need to understand a bit more about the protein itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eFibrin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eFibrin is an insoluble protein that plays a major role in the formation of blood clots and scar tissue. During the blood clotting process, the soluble protein fibrinogen converts into insoluble fibrin, which is then laid down inside the damaged blood vessel. The fibrin strands then assemble into a net-like gel that hardens and captures all of the materials necessary to patch the damaged vessel. This is the structural framework of a blood clot. Obviously, fibrin plays a vital role in the healing process; however, when there is fibrin overproduction, it can lead to the formation of dangerous and unnecessary blood clots in the body [1]. One factor that can lead to excessive fibrin is ageing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eAs we age, the concentration of fibrinogen increases in our blood [2]. High levels of fibrinogen increases fibrin production, and as fibrin begins to accumulate in the blood vessels it generally leads to the formation of blood clots [3]. Healthy individuals usually have sufficient levels of plasmin, an enzyme that breaks up fibrin blood clots. Unfortunately plasmin production slows down as we get older so the normal process of removing excess fibrin is reduced. The result of this can be cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary emboli, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other related disorders [4-8].\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eNeprinol\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eResearch has shown that protein-dissolving enzymes like those found in Neprinol can slow the production of fibrin and enhance its removal from the body [1].

Chemical reactions are generally slow things, enzymes speed them up. Without enzymes the chemical reactions that make up our life would be too slow for life as we know it. (As slow as sap running down a tree in winter). For life to manifest as we know it, enzymes are essential to speed up the reactions. We have roughly some 3000 enzymes in our bodies and that results in over 7000 enzymic reactions. Most of these enzymes are derived or created from what we think of as the protein digesting enzymes. But while digestion is an important part of what enzymes do, it's almost the absolute last function.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e First and foremost these body wide proteolytic (protein eating) enzymes have the following actions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Natural Anti-Inflammatory\u003c\/span\u003e: Inflammation is a reaction by the immune system to an irritation. Let’s say you have an injured right knee. The immune system, sensing the irritation the knee is undergoing, creates a protein chain called a Circulating Immune Complex (CIC for short), tagged specifically for that right knee. (The Nobel Prize in biology was won in 1999 by a scientist who discovered this tagging mechanism). This CIC floats down to the right knee and causes pain, redness and swelling; the classic earmarks for inflammation. This at first is a beneficial reaction because it warns us that a part of ourselves is hurt and needs attention. But, inflammation is self-perpetuating; itself creating an irritation that the body makes CIC’s to in response!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eAt this point, most people turn to their medicine chest and take a couple of Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Celebrex, Vioxx, etc. And the problem with that is: NSAID's work by keeping the body from making all CIC's!!! This ignores the fact that some CIC’s are vital to life, like those that maintain the lining of the intestines and those that keep the kidneys functioning! Not to mention the fact that the NSAID’s, along with acetaminophen, are highly toxic to the liver. Every year 20,000 Americans die from these over the counter drugs and another 100,000 will wind up in the hospital with liver damage, kidney damage or bleeding intestines from the side effects of these drugs. (4,5). This is where systemic enzyme use is so important.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eSystemic Enzymes are the first line of defense against inflammation. (1,2,3). Systemic enzymes are perfectly safe and free of dangerous side effects and they have no LD-50, or toxic dose. (6). Best of all systemic enzymes can tell the difference between the good CIC’s and the bad ones because hydrolytic enzymes are lock and key mechanisms and their \"teeth\" will only fit over the bad CIC’s. So instead of preventing the creation of all CIC’s, systemic enzymes just “eat” the bad ones and in so doing lower inflammation everywhere. With that, pain is lowered also.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAnti-Fibrosis:\u003c\/span\u003e  Systemic Enzymes eat scar tissue and fibrosis. (7). Fibrosis is scar tissue and most doctors learn in anatomy that it is fibrosis that eventually kills us all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e Let me explain: As we age, which starts at 27, we have a diminishing of the bodies’ output of enzymes. This is because we make a finite amount of enzymes in a lifetime and we use up a good deal of them by the time we are 27. At that point the body knows that if it keeps up that rate of consumption we’ll run out of enzymes and be dead by the time we reach our 40’s. (Cystic Fibrosis patients who have virtually no enzyme production to speak of, even as children usually don’t make it past their 20’s before they die of the restriction and shrinkage in the lungs from the formation of fibrosis or scar tissue).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e So, our body in it's wisdom begins to dole out our enzymes with an eyedropper instead of with a tablespoon; as a result, the repair mechanism of the body goes out of balance and has nothing to reduce the over abundance of fibrin it deposits in nearly every thing from simple cuts, to the inside of our internal organs and blood vessels. This is when most women begin to develop things like fibrocystic breast disease, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and we all grow arterial sclerotic (meaning scar tissue) plaque, and have fibrin beginning to spider web its way inside of our internal organs reducing their size and function over time. This is why as we age our wounds heal with thicker, less pliable, weaker and very visible scars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e If we replace the lost enzymes we can control and reduce the amount of scar tissue and fibrosis our bodies have. As physicians in the US are now discovering, even old scar tissue can be “eaten away” from surgical wounds, pulmonary fibrosis, kidney fibrosis and even keloids years after their formation. Medical doctors in Europe and Asia have known this and have used orally administered enzymes for these situations for over 40 years!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBlood Cleansing:\u003c\/span\u003e  The blood is not only the river of life, it is also the river through which the cells and organs dispose of their garbage and dead material. Enzymes improve circulation by eating the excess fibrin that causes blood to sometimes get as thick as catsup or yogurt, creating the perfect environment for the formation of clots. All of this material is supposed to be cleared by the liver on its \"first pass\", or the first time it goes through but given the sluggish and near toxic or toxic states of everyone's liver these days that seldom happens. So the sludge remains in the blood waiting for the liver to have enough free working space and enough enzymes to clean the trash out of the blood. This can take days, and in some cases, weeks!

(9). When the immune system is running low we become susceptible to infectious disease, when it’s cranked up too high then the system creates antibodies that attack it's own tissues as are seen in the auto immune diseases of MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Lupus. Here the enzymes will tone down immune function and eat away at the antibodies the immune system is making to attack its bodies own tissue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eVirus and Bacteria Fighting: \u003c\/span\u003e Viruses harm us by replicating in our bodies. To do this a virus must bond itself to the DNA in our cells through the medium of its exterior protein cell wall. Anything that disrupts that cell wall inhibits the ability of viral replication by rendering individual viruses inert. (10,11). Systemic enzymes can tell the difference between the proteins that are supposed to be in your body and those that are foreign or not supposed to be there, (again the enzyme lock and key mechanism). Serrapeptase has the strongest protein eating effect of any commercially available enzyme and can be of help in combating viruses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e Systemic Enzymes also have been found to have mild anti-bacterial properties.

There are currently over 200 peer reviewed research articles dealing with the absorption, utilization and therapeutic action of orally administered systemic enzymes. A search through Pub Med using the key words: serrapeptase, papain, bromelain, trypsin, chymo trypsin, nattokinase and systemic enzyme will yield some of the extensive work.

The immune system, sensing the irritation the knee is undergoing, creates a protein chain called a Circulating Immune Complex (CIC for short), tagged specifically for that right knee. (The Nobel Prize in biology was won in 1999 by a scientist who discovered this tagging mechanism). This CIC floats down to the right knee and causes pain, redness and swelling; the classic earmarks for inflammation. This at first is a beneficial reaction because it warns us that a part of ourselves is hurt and needs attention. But, inflammation is self-perpetuating; itself creating an irritation that the body makes CIC’s to in response!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eAt this point, most people turn to their medicine chest and take a couple of Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Celebrex, Vioxx, etc. And the problem with that is: NSAID's work by keeping the body from making all CIC's!!! This ignores the fact that some CIC’s are vital to life, like those that maintain the lining of the intestines and those that keep the kidneys functioning! Not to mention the fact that the NSAID’s, along with acetaminophen, are highly toxic to the liver. Every year 20,000 Americans die from these over the counter drugs and another 100,000 will wind up in the hospital with liver damage, kidney damage or bleeding intestines from the side effects of these drugs. (4,5).

(1,2,3). Systemic enzymes are perfectly safe and free of dangerous side effects and they have no LD-50, or toxic dose. (6). Best of all systemic enzymes can tell the difference between the good CIC’s and the bad ones because hydrolytic enzymes are lock and key mechanisms and their \"teeth\" will only fit over the bad CIC’s. So instead of preventing the creation of all CIC’s, systemic enzymes just “eat” the bad ones and in so doing lower inflammation everywhere. With that, pain is lowered also.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAnti-Fibrosis:\u003c\/span\u003e  Systemic Enzymes eat scar tissue and fibrosis.

This is because we make a finite amount of enzymes in a lifetime and we use up a good deal of them by the time we are 27. At that point the body knows that if it keeps up that rate of consumption we’ll run out of enzymes and be dead by the time we reach our 40’s. (Cystic Fibrosis patients who have virtually no enzyme production to speak of, even as children usually don’t make it past their 20’s before they die of the restriction and shrinkage in the lungs from the formation of fibrosis or scar tissue).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e So, our body in it's wisdom begins to dole out our enzymes with an eyedropper instead of with a tablespoon; as a result, the repair mechanism of the body goes out of balance and has nothing to reduce the over abundance of fibrin it deposits in nearly every thing from simple cuts, to the inside of our internal organs and blood vessels. This is when most women begin to develop things like fibrocystic breast disease, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and we all grow arterial sclerotic (meaning scar tissue) plaque, and have fibrin beginning to spider web its way inside of our internal organs reducing their size and function over time. This is why as we age our wounds heal with thicker, less pliable, weaker and very visible scars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e If we replace the lost enzymes we can control and reduce the amount of scar tissue and fibrosis our bodies have. As physicians in the US are now discovering, even old scar tissue can be “eaten away” from surgical wounds, pulmonary fibrosis, kidney fibrosis and even keloids years after their formation. Medical doctors in Europe and Asia have known this and have used orally administered enzymes for these situations for over 40 years!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBlood Cleansing:\u003c\/span\u003e  The blood is not only the river of life, it is also the river through which the cells and organs dispose of their garbage and dead material. Enzymes improve circulation by eating the excess fibrin that causes blood to sometimes get as thick as catsup or yogurt, creating the perfect environment for the formation of clots. All of this material is supposed to be cleared by the liver on its \"first pass\", or the first time it goes through but given the sluggish and near toxic or toxic states of everyone's liver these days that seldom happens. So the sludge remains in the blood waiting for the liver to have enough free working space and enough enzymes to clean the trash out of the blood. This can take days, and in some cases, weeks!

When the immune system is running low we become susceptible to infectious disease, when it’s cranked up too high then the system creates antibodies that attack it's own tissues as are seen in the auto immune diseases of MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Lupus.

To do this a virus must bond itself to the DNA in our cells through the medium of its exterior protein cell wall. Anything that disrupts that cell wall inhibits the ability of viral replication by rendering individual viruses inert. (10,11). Systemic enzymes can tell the difference between the proteins that are supposed to be in your body and those that are foreign or not supposed to be there, (again the enzyme lock and key mechanism). Serrapeptase has the strongest protein eating effect of any commercially available enzyme and can be of help in combating viruses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e Systemic Enzymes also have been found to have mild anti-bacterial properties.

There are currently over 200 peer reviewed research articles dealing with the absorption, utilization and therapeutic action of orally administered systemic enzymes. A search through Pub Med using the key words: serrapeptase, papain, bromelain, trypsin, chymo trypsin, nattokinase and systemic enzyme will yield some of the extensive work.

The Di Tao source of an herb is gradually established through the historical use of the herbs. By documenting how herbs from different origins differ in their pharmacological effects on the human body, the regions or sources that produce the most desired results have slowly come to be recognized as the authentic genuine source, Di Tao, both by common knowledge among the practicing herbalists as well as by government supported official recognition in the materia medica. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eHeaven Mountain® Goji Berries is one such example.

In China’s first herbal encyclopedia, Shen Nong’s Materia Medica, written in the 1st century B.C., Goji was classified as a “superior tonic,” a class of herbs that people should take on an on-going basis to preserve youth and to promote general well being of life. Goji’s superior tonic classification has stood the test of time. Two thousand years later, Goji berries are still being consumed regularly throughout Asian civilizations for those purported reasons. We now know that Goji berries are a “high-ORAC” antioxidant-rich superfruit featuring important phytochemicals such a beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, betaine, polysaccharides (LBPs), trace minerals and vitamins. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eSoil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eThe virgin land of the Gobi Desert has little vegetation.

We were in Beijing for an international antiaging conference, and the business woman Yanlin was meeting collected honey from bees that make their honey from the “sap” that flows from goji berries on hot autumn days in the “goji belt” of northwestern China. I was at the meeting but did not directly participate because of the language situation (the woman had a strong accent that was way beyond my weak Chinese language skills). But I could not help staring at the woman’s complexion. Hers was like no skin I had ever seen before. Although I knew the woman was at least in her fifties, her skin was absolutely flawless – I would say “pure.” There wasn’t one wrinkle, speckle or blemish – it was truly like white jade. At the end of the meeting, I asked my wife to tell the woman that I could not help but notice her incredible skin and to ask her how she maintained it. The lady laughed (I would assume she was pleased with the compliment) and told us that since she was a young woman she had been in the habit of eating a handful of dried goji berries every day. She said that many of the women in the region where she lives are in the same habit and that the region is very famous for the beauty of its women. She said “even the \u003cem\u003eold \u003c\/em\u003ewomen have beautiful skin.” I asked if there was anything else that she did, but she said that nothing else she did was out of the ordinary. “No, it’s the goji.

She was the first person to guide us in the direction of Heaven Mountain as a source of superior goji berries. She explained how the berries in that region are large and plump - and much sweeter than those from other regions.

Goji is emerging as one of the elite superstars in the antioxidant arsenal – not a surprise to the Chinese or to tonic herbalists.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGoji Flavonoids Protect Red Blood Cell Membranes and Mitochondria\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e Our red blood cells are subject to oxidation by free radicals like all tissues in the body.

He was particularly interested in Taoist life cultivation and had a deep personal interest in tonic herbs. One day, when he was around fifty years old, he met a very old man who, despite of his venerable old age, could out-walk Li Qing Yuen. This impressed Master Li very much because he believed that brisk walking was both a way to health and longevity and a sign of inner health. Li Qing Yuen inquired as to the old sage's secret.

In the mountains he met a Taoist hermit who was much older than him. Impressed by the great illumination of the old Taoist, Li Qing Yuen begged the sage to tell him his secrets.

As a blood clotting protein, the body utilizes fibrin to contain blood loss and keep infection at bay after injury. It is the initial step in the body’s attempts at recovery. However, when inflammation has become prolonged, fibrin along with other proteins such as collagen can begin to transform original tissue into a tough fibrous matrix. Differentiated and sometimes sequestered apart from healthy tissue, this fibrous matrix still has the biological markers of inflammation.

Most factories just throw the herbs into a tank and cook the whole thing for a couple of hours, then they make a powdered extract of the tea using a lot of excipient (usually not natural). Dragon Herbs uses low temperature extraction using very pure water and no chemicals. We add the herbs carefully at incremental stages.

These “short cook” herbs are cooked separately and carefully and added at the end. For example, the Dang Gui should not be cooked as long as some of the other herbs because of its high aromatic oil content. Aged Tangerine Peel and Fresh Ginger must be cooked for just for a few minutes at most because of their aromatic oil content.

It is renowned as a life-reinforcing tonic and is said to build sexual and physical power, mental energy and to support the immune system of normal, healthy individuals. Cultured Cordyceps has no steroidal constituents but greatly supports performance and muscle maintaining and building capability of normal, healthy individuals. Cultured Cordyceps can help support the body’s healthy immune functions.* This cultured Cordyceps mycelium was tested for its constituents and has been compared to the component profile of wild Cordyceps, which is much more expensive and rare. The cultured Cordyceps has a component profile that is very favorable, even when compared to wild Cordyceps. Therefore, “cultured” Cordyceps is highly valued and widely used in tonic herbalism.
