Supreme Protector Supreme Protector is an ultimate Chinese tonic formulation. It is composed of the four kings of defense in Chinese herbalism: Reishi, Astragalus, Schizandra and Cordyceps. All support the protective functions of the body and the mind in various ways. Each herb supports the immune functions and all support our innate capacity to handle stress. They all have antioxidant action and each herb has been recognized as a potent adaptogen. In addition, this formula powerfully tonifies all three Treasures (Jing, Qi and Shen). The herbs support the liver and the lungs and support the innate abilities of these organs to remove impurities from the body on a moment-to-moment basis, as nature intended. They support the kidneys and the adrenals. Supreme Protector is also an excellent Shen tonic. This is indeed the supreme protector. The Herbs in Supreme Protector Reishi Mushroom Reishi Mushroom is the perfect herb for these times. It is strengthening, protective and calming to the nerves. It is both a potent Qi tonic and the ultimate Shen tonic. It is the perfect anti-stress herb. It helps to center you. When you’re taking Reishi you feel adaptive and you feel protected. Supreme Protector is made with genuine “log-grown” Duanwood Reishi fruiting bodies. Astragalus Root Astragalus Root is one of the most powerful natural agents in the world at regulating the functions of the body. It is a fundamental Qi tonic and should be a part of any adaptogenic, anti-stress formula. In fact it is a quintessential double-directional herb, one that helps support and regulate the immune system. It is a superb adaptogen. Cordyceps Mycelium Cordyceps is one of the superstars of the Chinese tonic herbal system. It is an extremely effective and powerful life-enhancing agent, ranking right up there with Reishi. Because the wild variety from the Himalayas is rare and highly treasured, it is very expensive. The mycelium, which can be cultured, is almost as potent and is quite a bit less expensive. Cordyceps mycelium is a moderately yang primal essence (Jing) tonic of high stature. Cordyceps mycelium is used to support the functions of the body and mind at a fundamental level. An ancient Chinese herbal classic said that Cordyceps is able to support the “primary motive force for life activities.” Because it contains both Yin and Yang it can be used by anyone safely and over a long period of time. It replenishes Yin Jing, restoring the deep energy expended as a result of exertion, adapting to stress and from aging. Cordyceps is thus one of the primary herbal substances used in tonic herbalism as an anti-aging agent and for the purposes of rejuvenation. Cordyceps mycelium is very widely used in Asia for the purposes of supporting the primal Kidney functions, which include sexual functions, brain power and structural integrity. It is a very powerful Yang tonic. As a sexual tonic, Cordyceps mycelium is considered to be one of the best. Consistent use of Cordyceps mycelium supports the skeletal structure. Cordyceps is used to support respiratory power in those who perform physical work (e.g. labor, sports or exercise). Cordyceps is considered in Asia to be a powerful athlete’s tonic. Schizandra Berry Schizandra is a major adaptogenic herb. Schizandra helps keep you relaxed and alert and supports the functions of the nervous system. Schizandra is considered to be one of the premium mind tonics of herbalism. It is used to support concentration, memory and alertness. Yet, unlike caffeine-like stimulants, Schizandra does not produce nervousness. In fact, Schizandra is mildly “calming” while producing wakefulness and mental focus.* Concentration: 8:1 Who Can Use It?: Anyone. Specifications: 100 Capsules 450 mg each Ingredients: Duanwood Reishi fruiting body, Astragalus root, Schizandra fruit, Cordyceps mycelium Other Ingredients: Vegetarian capsules (non-pullulan based), rice hull extract, organic maize starch.

It promotes peaceful alertness and mental focus – the perfect Yin and Yang balance that nature intended. Tao in a Bottle™ does not cause drowsiness so it may be used by active individuals performing their normal daily (or nightly) tasks. A Revolutionary New Anti-Stress Formulation We all know that life can be stressful, in fact for most people life is innately stressful. Even the things that bring happiness in our lives — our families, relationships, careers and hobbies can be a source of anxiety and tension when times are tough. And the very things we’ve taken for granted as Americans – our safety and freedom – are now an additional source of worry and fear. As a result, many of us are simply feeling more anxious and tense than ever before. Stress is the root of much of the unhappiness, disharmony and sickness people suffer. Almost every sickness is caused by stress, or greatly magnified by it. It is well established that “stress kills.” Certainly, excessive stress, and our reactions to it, shorten our lives and make life less pleasurable. Stress management is critical to health and happiness. Humans practice innumerable ways of stress management, from religion (and prayer, meditation, yoga, chanting, service, etc.) to techniques like biofeedback, to recreational sex, to drinking alcohol, to gambling, etc., and to sports and athletics, including working out and dancing, etc. For millions of people, anxiety and stress is handled in a destructive way. We’ve all heard the terms “comfort food”, “social drinking” or “casual smoking.” These are all destructive forms of self medication aimed at reducing our daily stress. Tao in a Bottle is a wonderful new herbal discovery. Tao in a Bottle is a 100% natural, totally safe herbal supplement that will help you achieve a natural state of relaxation without drowsiness. In fact, used regularly Tao in a Bottle will actually allow you to deal with your everyday stress without being tense, and will help you improve your performance in whatever you do. L-Theanine L-theanine is an amino acid found naturally in green tea. This amino acid has been found to be extraordinarily relaxing. All studies and experience indicate that L-theanine is absolutely safe and has no side effects. It has been widely used in Japan for over forty years in over a hundred products, including gum, ice cream, soft drinks. L-theanine is a very healthy substance. First, it is an important component of green tea (Camellia sinensis), one of the healthiest substances consumed by human beings. It is a safe and fast-acting stress and anxiety-relieving phyto-nutrient. Numerous studies have shown that when L-theanine is assimilated in the small intestine, it stimulates the brain’s production of alpha waves, which are associated with a sense of profound relaxation, mental focus, and mental clarity. L-theanine also helps you stay relaxed by stimulating your body to produce other calming amino acids, including dopamine, GABA, and L-tryptophan. Two new lines of study regarding L-theanine indicate that Tao in a Bottle™ is even better for you than we thought. Improves Sleep Interestingly, many people in Japan, where L-theanine has been used for over forty years, and more recently in America, have noticed that taking L-theanine can profoundly benefit the ability to sleep easily and soundly. Common sense tells us that if the mind can “shut off the chatter” it will be easier to sleep. Tao in a Bottle™ has been found to do that remarkably well. A 1999 review study on L-theanine in Trends in Food Science and Technology reported that the brain absorbs L-theanine within 30 minutes and that the a dose of 200 mg increases alpha wave production and relaxation. Animal studies published in Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry in 1998 showed that L-theanine produced 26% more Tryptophan than rats who ate a placebo. The animals who ate L-theanine also exhibited less anxious behavior than those who didn’t. Sleep Studies Impressive In a set of studies recently published in Japan, conducted at the National Mental and Nerve Center of Japan, L-theanine was demonstrated to have profound benefits on sleep in 22 college students who volunteered. The effects of L-theanine on sleep were examined on the students by utilizing a standardized psychological evaluation method and a sleep/waking-state presumption method based on a continuous activity record. The students were given 200 mg L-Theanine (the same proprietary brand of L-theanine used by Dragon Herbs), one hour prior to sleep. The following conclusions were obtained: 1. Fatigue recovery by sleep improved 2. Subjects felt sleep was longer than usual, even when it wasn’t. 3. Smooth entering of sleep was facilitated and a good sleep was maintained. 4. Severity and frequency of bad dreams was reduced. 5. Retention and stability of sleep was improved. 6. Subjects tended to evaluate sleep quality as “better” with a sense of improved sound sleep. 7. By improving sleep quality, there is an improved possibility of obtaining effective recovery of the high-level brain function associated with the prefrontal cortex of the brain. As a result, there was a tendency to experience a sense of “improved spirit” at the time of waking and an increase of self-confidence. 8. Frequency of middle-of-the-night awakening was reduced and sleep quality improved. This effect, by taking 200 mg of L-theanine one hour prior to going to bed, was more significant in the later period of sleep. Many of the effects noted in the study, such as improved fatigue recovery at the time of awakening, a sense of an extended sleep period, decrease of severity and frequency of bad dreams, an improvement over retention and stability of sleep, and an improvement of spirit and self-confidence at the time a awakening, were physiologically improved as a result of the improvement of sleep functions during the later period of sleep, namely the sleep immediately prior to the time of awakening. Based on the study, taking two capsules of Tao in a Bottle each day should help promote better sleep. Dragon Herbs also produces a bedtime formula known as Lights Out™ that contains L-theanine. It also includes herbs traditionally used to promote sound sleep. Lights Out™ is not a conventional sleeping pill. It will not “knock you out,” nor will it cause drowsiness in the morning. Taking 2 capsules of Lights Out™ half an hour before bed will help you relax and will help most people get a better night’s sleep. It may be taken alone or in addition to Tao in a Bottle™. Boosts the Immune System A recent issue of Discover Magazine rated recent discovery that L-theanine is a potent immune booster as one of the world’s 100 top science stories of 2003. In a study conducted by Jack Bukowski of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and Harvard Medical School, and reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, it was found that L-theanine, isolated from tea leaf, has a significant immune boosting quality in humans. In the study, Bukowski and his co-authors isolated L-theanine from tea leaf. They used the L-theanine to conduct a number of studies. Bukowski said that L-theanine is broken down in the liver to ethylamine, a molecule that primes the response of an immune cell called a gamma-delta T cell. “We know from other studies that these gamma-delta T cells in the blood are the first line of defense against many types of bacteria, viral, fungal and parasitic infections,” he said. “They even have some anti-tumor activity. The T cells prompt the secretion of interferon, a key part of the body’s chemical defense against infection,” Bukowski said. “We know from mouse studies that if you boost this part of the immune system it can protect against infection,” he said. “We worked out the molecular aspects of this tea component (L-theanine) in the test tube and then tested it on a small number of people to see if it actually worked in human beings,” said Bukowski. The results, he says, gave clear proof that five cups of tea a day sharpened the body’s defenses against disease. Tao in a Bottle Is Convenient Unfortunately, it is difficult for most people to consume five cups of tea a day. Therefore, consuming a capsule or two of Tao in a Bottle, which provides the L-theanine equivalent of 10 cups of tea, will do the job of boosting the immune system. That, in combination with the other immune boosting herbs in Tao in a Bottle, should be more than enough reason to start your day with a couple of capsules of Tao in a Bottle. Tao in a Bottle Q & A What is Tao in a Bottle? Will I actually be relaxed during a stressful day? Tao in a Bottle is a new and unique formula designed by Master Herbalist Ron Teeguarden It is designed to help us handle stress. Tao in a Bottle is unlike anything that has been available before. The main ingredient is an amino acid called theanine. Theanine is an amino acid found only in green tea. Theanine is the first herbal ingredient that helps you to feel calm and alert at the same time, and it works quickly to release tension and worry. Tao in a Bottle also contains special adaptogenic herbs. If you use Tao in a Bottle regularly, you will become more resistant to stress. What do we mean by “relaxation?” Relaxation is a natural state of being that occurs when we are not stressed. When we are relaxed, we feel like our “true selves.” When we are relaxed, we are not nervous, and we do not come from a place of fear, worry, anxiety or anger when reacting to the events of our lives and the people we encounter We often make mistakes because of our anxiety, then we feel disappointed in ourselves, and that just adds to our stress. We all have moments when we feel really “on.” There are different names for that feeling: “in the groove”, “in the flow.” Ron Teeguarden calls that feeling a state of “peaceful alertness” When you take Tao in a Bottle, the tension just melts away When you use Tao in a Bottle regularly, you can experience that state of peaceful alertness the majority of the time. Is it true that I will feel the affects of Tao in a Bottle within minutes, and are there long-term benefits? Most people feel an effect within 30 to 40 minutes, and the results can last an entire day. When you take it every day the effects are actually cumulative. Over a period of time you’re ability to handle stress will increase. Will this help me at work and at home? Yes, when you are relaxed and focused at work you can work more efficiently without making mistakes, and you make better decisions when you are thinking clearly. Work stress can be debilitating, and work is by its very nature stressful. Sometimes, it is very stressful and can cause psychological breakdowns and physical problems like ulcers and headaches, or worse. Those who can handle more stress win in business. Tao in a Bottle is fantastic for people who lead stressful lives and it is certainly beneficial to those who are engaged in stressful business activity. Studies have shown that theanine improves learning and concentration, so certainly, it will help us perform better at work. Tao in a Bottle will also help at home. As a result of being more relaxed, most people find that they can relate and interact better with their families. People find that their children do not irritate them and that they tend to fight less often with other members of the family. In a positive sense, people find that they are more open and creative when they are relaxed and alert, and therefore they have more fun with their families. They tend to be more engaged and the concept of “quality time” takes on new meaning. Will Tao in a Bottle help me if I am a student? Is it OK to give to my kids? Studies conducted in Japan indicate that theanine improves learning. It is widely used in Japan specifically for that purpose. It is used by students of all ages to promote relaxation and alertness. It has a calming effect that promotes mental endurance and concentration over a number of hours, and students say that they find studying more interesting and enjoyable. Theanine is used in candies and ice cream in Japan. However, it is probably best suited for children over the age of ten years old (though there are no known contraindications for smaller children). A ten-year old child may consume 50 milligrams of theanine, twice a day. That is ½ a capsule of Tao in a Bottle, two times a day, dissolved in juice. Children fifteen years and older may take a full dose of 100 to 200 milligrams a day – that is one or two capsules of Tao in a Bottle each day. Theanine has been proven to be completely safe. What if I am really shy, will it help me open up at parties or even on a date? Shyness is actually a fear of social situations Tao in a Bottle helps put you in the state of “peaceful alertness” When you are in the state of peaceful alertness, you can more easily open up to people and communicate your true nature When we’re relaxed and communicating our true nature, people naturally like us more and are attracted to us. Do we recommend Tao in a Bottle for athletes? Will it affect my sharpness or reaction time? Professional athletes use adaptogenic herbs to improve their performance and concentration. Tao in a Bottle contains the same herbs that we give to world-caliber athletes. Athletes around the world, including Olympians and professional superstars, such as NBA all-stars, use herbs like ginseng, Siberian ginseng, rhodiola and astragalus. The adaptogenic herbs used in Tao in a Bottle are completely safe, absolutely legal, and extremely reliable. Athletes also talk about being “in the zone,” “in the groove” or “in the flow.” That’s the same state of peaceful alertness that we have been talking about. Theanine does not cause drowsiness like other herbs touted for their relaxation benefits, such as kava or valerian root. In fact, it promotes clarity and sharpness. Athletes find they make quicker, better decisions on the spur of the moment and therefore perform better under the stress of competition. Tao in a Bottle will help an athlete remain emotionally balanced, even under the most stressful circumstances. This can be the difference between winning and losing. Yet it does not reduce the desire to succeed or the competitive edge – in fact, many athletes find they are better focused and can direct their aggressiveness properly toward winning and achieving athlete perfection. If I am a martial arts practitioner, will Tao in a Bottle take away my competitive edge? No, Grasshopper. Every serious practitioner of the martial arts understands the connection between a calm, steady, clear and focused mind and success in the martial arts. Theanine is not a sedative – it does not cause drowsiness, laziness, listlessness or spaciness. Instead, it causes the mind to go into an alpha state. This is the perfect state of mind for any competition, including combat. Also, the great adaptogenic herbs in this formula, including ginseng, astragalus and Reishi have been used by martial arts masters, including those of the Shaolin Temples in China. They are superb Qi tonics that increase vitality and inner power. Ron Teeguarden’s primary teacher, Taoist Master Sung Jin Park, was an eighth-degree black belt in seven martial arts. Master Park was second in the world in Hapkido. He used these tonic herbs every day of his life and recommended that Ron do the same. Does Tao in a Bottle have any other benefits for athletes? Yes. It has been proven that theanine improves recovery from hard physical activity. Bodybuilders use it to recover more quickly. Any athlete wishing to recover more quickly may use it. It is ideal for runners, bicyclists, ball players, skiers, rock climbers, triathletes, etc. Tibetan rhodiola increases oxygen in the blood stream, by as much as 100%. This increase in oxygen can vastly improve endurance, concentration and shear energy. Many Russian Olympic athletes, cosmonauts on the space station Mir, and mountain climbers scaling the highest mountains in the world have used rhodiola. Eleuthero has been demonstrated to increase athletic endurance and concentration. What are alpha waves, and what is the effect of Tao in a Bottle on our alpha waves? The brain generates brain waves that can be measured at the surface of the skull. The waves reflect our state of mind. Alpha is the designation for the state of mind, and thus the shape of the brain waves, that occurs when a person is in a perfect state of conscious balance – awake, alert, focused, and totally relaxed. When alpha waves increase we feel calm and alert, relaxed and yet not drowsy, unstressed and clear. Many people say they feel more “present.” Most people say they can concentrate better and with less effort. An “alpha state” is a very healthy state of mind. In most instances during our daily life, it is the perfect state of mind. Is Tao in a Bottle is a natural product? Absolutely. Tao in a Bottle is 100% natural and contains no added salts, wheat, gluten, corn, coloring, dairy products or preservatives. Does Tao in a Bottle contain caffeine, ma huang, kava or anything like that? No. Tao in a Bottle does not contain any stimulants or sedatives. Adaptogenic herbs have “double-direction activity.” If your body-mind needs to be active, these herbs foster activity. If your body-mind needs to be quiet, these same herbs foster rest and recovery. Caffeine and ma huang (ephedrine) are stimulants that can increase our sense of anxiety and ultimately contribute to our stress. Many people find that kava creates drowsiness. Recent studies indicate kava may cause liver damage. What is L-theanine? The principal ingredient in Tao in a Bottle is called L-theanine. L-theanine is an amino acid found naturally in Green Tea. Scientists have known for a long time that theanine promotes relaxation, but they only recently learned how to produce it in an economically practical way, using a sophisticated fermentation technology. It’s been available in Japan for over twenty years and is used as a nutritional supplement to promote relaxation without drowsiness. But it is not only used as a nutritional supplement – it is also available in soft drinks, candy and chewing gum to help people relax and to recover from hard physical workouts. It just became available for the first time in the United States. Would I get a similar benefit by just drinking Green Tea? It would take 10-20 cups of Green Tea in one sitting to get a similar amount of the theanine found in a single serving of Tao in a Bottle. Can I purchase a similar product anywhere else? Tao in a Bottle is a totally unique product, developed by Ron Teeguarden to promote relaxation without drowsiness within minutes, and to build the body-mind’s ability to handle stress over time. By combining theanine with the world’s most powerful adaptogenic herbs, every aspect of our ability to handle stress is addressed. Concentrated green tea capsules that you find in health food stores have very little theanine and will not have the same effect as taking Tao in a Bottle. The quality of the herbs used to produce Tao in a Bottle is different from that used to make the commercial products found in natural food and drug stores – it is far superior, as are all Dragon Herbs products. What about PMS, with its monthly mood swings, aches and pains? And will Tao in a Bottle help those who are going into menopause? Studies conducted in Japan have demonstrated that women who suffer from PMS symptoms are greatly benefited by theanine. Taking theanine significantly relieves both the emotional and physical symptoms of PMS. Take 1 capsule in the a.m. and 1 capsule in the p.m. to reduce or eliminate all the symptoms of PMS. The effect of Tao in a Bottle on menopausal moodiness has not been studied yet, but anyone who is tense and whose mind achieves an alpha state should feel more relaxed. How will Tao in a Bottle affect our sex lives? One of the biggest obstacles to sexual performance and enjoyment is tension and anxiety (insufficient Jing and blood are the most relevant physical causes of sex-related problems). Anxiety can completely sabotage sexual performance, and this can lead to long term impotence, premature ejaculation and frigidity. Many people find that Tao in a Bottle is better than a glass of wine or a warm bath to get them in the mood. People with too much sex drive, and who have difficulty managing or controlling this energy, can also greatly benefit from Tao in a Bottle because it helps us gain control of ourselves. Why are there adaptogenic herbs in Tao in a Bottle? Adaptogenic herbs are a class of herbs that help us adapt to stress. They provide energy (vitality) that specifically helps us to deal with stress of any kind Adaptogenic herbs are not specifically medicinal They have been used for over 2000 years to make life easier, more enjoyable, satisfying and more fulfilling. They are the most important herbs in the world because they promote a long, healthy, happy life. Adaptogenic herbs help us to maintain balance under stressful circumstances, and they help us recover from stress more quickly and effectively. They protect us from many of the influences in nature that cause us to age more quickly, including pollution, radiation, toxins, and the free radicals caused by stress. All the adaptogenic herbs used in Tao in a Bottle have been proven to boost our immune system, while mitigating excessive immune responses such as those that cause auto-immune disorders and allergies. Adaptogenic herbs are extremely beneficial. As a result, we can deal more effectively with things that usually make us tense, anxious and angry. Is there anything like Tao in a Bottle available in health food stores? No. The main ingredient is new to the American market. As far as we know, this is the first time anyone in the America has blended theanine, which provides immediate relief from stress and tension, with the adaptogenic herbs which make us more resistant to stress over time. The quality of the herbs in Tao in a Bottle is superior to that of most products in the marketplace. Ron Teeguarden personally travels to China to pick out only the highest quality of herbs that are rarely if ever sold in this country in health food stores. Dragon Herbs guaranties that its herbal ingredients are the finest in the world. How do we use Tao in a Bottle? Most studies indicate that the effective dose for theanine is between 50 and 400 mg. per day. Tao in a Bottle capsules each contain 100 mg. We suggest taking 1 to 4 capsules each day, according to your level of stress and they way you react to Tao in a Bottle. Many people take 2 capsules in the morning, and that lasts all day. Many people take 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the afternoon. That is the method used in the PMS studies done in Japan. Some people take 1 capsule in the morning, 1 capsule in the afternoon, and 1 in the evening. Some people find that taking 1 or 2 capsules at bedtime results in improved sleep. And when they wake up, they are relaxed, energized and ready to go. In other words, there are many optional approaches to using Tao in a Bottle and each person will find what’s best for them. Most people feel a benefit within 30 to 40 minutes the very first time they try Tao in a Bottle, and will feel the same response every time. Should we continue taking Tao in a Bottle when we begin to feel better everyday? Yes. To get the long term benefits of increasing your resistance to stress, you need to take it regularly. Tao in a Bottle is not habit forming, but may be used every day as a tonic formulation. It’s a daily supplement for your well being. Tonic herbs (also called adaptogenic herbs) may be taken on a daily basis to nurture radiant health. How does Tao in a Bottle work with other herbal products? Tao in a Bottle is a Shen-stabilizing adaptogenic Qi tonic. Shen stabilizing herbs help stabilize our emotions so that we can experience our higher self. Adaptogenic herbs increase our vitality while promoting our ability over time to handle stress. Qi tonic herbs increase our energy, help regulate our bodily functions, and regulate our immune system. Theanine helps a person relax. Stress inhibits or distorts virtually every important function of our body and mind, so theanine may be helpful no matter what a person’s condition or state of health and well being. When a person is relaxed, other herbs will have a better chance of entering the body and effect a positive change. Therefore, we recommend taking Tao in a Bottle with every herbal program. Stress is the root of most energy

Pearl Shen The Herbs in Pearl Shen Duanwood Reishi Mushroom Over two thousand years ago, Shen Nong said of Reishi Mushroom: “The taste is bitter, its atmospheric energy is neutral, it has no toxicity, it cures (removes) the accumulation of pathogenic factors in the chest, it is good for the Qi (functional activities) of the heart including mental activities, it tonifies the Spleen, increases wisdom, improves memory so that you won’t forget, long-term consumption will lighten your body, you will never become old, it lengthens years, it has spiritual power, and it develops Shen so that you become a “spirit-being” like the immortals.” In the 16th Century pharmacopoeia Ben Cao Gang Mu, which contains hundreds of natural herbs the Chinese have used for thousands of years, compiler Li Shi Chen described the uses of Reishi: "It benefits the life energy, or Qi of the heart, repairing the chest area and benefiting those with a knotted and tight chest. It also increases intellectual capacity and banishes forgetfulness. Taken over a long period of time, agility of the body will not cease, and the years are lengthened to those of the Immortals." Ganoderma was particularly revered by the followers of the Taoist tradition as the "Elixir of Immortality" and as the "Herb of Spiritual Potency." Taoists have continuously claimed that Reishi promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, inner awareness and inner strength. They have used it to improve meditative practices and to protect the body, mind and spirit so that the adept could attain both a long and healthy life and spiritual "immortality" (the Chinese Taoist term for enlightenment, or ultimate spiritual realization). Reishi is a superb anti-stress herb. Throughout history it has been used to bring balance into the lives of people who needed help in this department, and that means most everyone. Deep in antiquity, "The Herb of Spiritual Potency" was routinely used by mountain hermits, monks, Taoist adepts and spiritual seekers throughout Asia because it was believed to help calm the mind, ease tension, strengthen the nerves, strengthen memory, sharpen concentration, improve focus, build will power and, as a result, help build wisdom. The people of Asia have never lost their faith in Reishi. They believe more than ever in Reishi's power to improve the quality of life by improving the inner life of a human being. It is the profound ability of Reishi to improve one's life on every plane that makes it so miraculous. Reishi is indeed calming and centering. Everyone who takes Reishi notices the peacefulness that seems to accompany its use. Many people are able to stop using chemical drugs. And Reishi's benefits are cumulative, gradually strengthening the nerves and actually changing how we perceive life. Micro-Ground Pearl For centuries, Chinese medical texts have credited ground Pearl Powder with the ability to relieve uneasiness of the heart and mind. This ability to stabilize uneven emotions is known as Shen stabilization. Ground Pearl Powder is a profound Shen stabilizer. It is among the elite substances of this type known. Ground Pearl Powder can relieve uneasiness, nervousness, anxiety and tension.Pearl promotes sound sleep, prevents nerve-disorders and nerve weakness, and is commonly used to prevent or overcome fatigue. Consistent use helps a person maintain their energy and vitality. It is an ideal Shen tonic and is the main ingredient in the finest Shen tonic formulations. Amber Powdered Amber is primarily used in Chinese herbalism to relax the nerves and calm the mind. It is safe and effective as a mild tranquilizer. It is believed that by calming the mind by consuming Amber and other related Shen stabilizing agents, the mind has the opportunity to rest, regain strength and focus. Amber is thus used in formulas both for calming anxiety and for improving the power of the mind.

Purple Reishi with Spores: Immune system support- Anti-inflammatory- Supports healthy bones, joints & connective tissue- Can help with injury recovery- Cardiovascular tonic- Promotes healthy liver function- Helps to stabilise emotions and calm the mind- Regenerative & restorative Nyishar Purple Reishi Extract is concentrated at a 1:2 ratio, meaning that one part mushroom has been macerated in two parts liquid solvent, creating a maximum potency extract. Firstly, the fruiting body of Ganoderma sinense undergoes hydro-ethanolic dual-extraction, where both procedures are performed separately. The fruiting body is an incredibly rich source of fungal polysaccharides and beta-glucans, with a relatively low overall volume of triterpenes. This why the second process is a pure ethanol extraction of sporoderm-broken spores from Red Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), as the spores of this renowned species possess a very high percentage of bio-active triterpenes. In total three extracts are produced; hot water and ethanol extractions both fruiting body as well as the ethanol extraction of the sporoderm-broken spores. The hot water extraction is conducted within a pressurised environment to ensure that the water-soluble fraction of the medicine is collected without denaturing from the heat. Each of these extracts are then triple-filtered and combined to produce a complete medicine, offering a wide range pf therapeutic benefits.. Prior to extraction, the Purple Reishi fruiting body is cultivated in a protected mountain reserve in the south east of China, following traditional Di Tao practices. This is a centuries-old method that grows wild-simulated fungi in the same region that true wild specimens can be found. They are grown on the same wood from the same forest, immersed in exactly the same soil with the same micro-organisms, the weather is the same and the same water irrigates the cultivated mushrooms as well as the wild.

He Shou Wu, (also known as Fo-ti or Polygonum multiflorum) is one the premiere Superior class tonic herbs. It is a longevity and Yin Essence replenishing herb of the highest order. Legend has it that it can return an aging person to his or her youthful years. It builds essence, builds blood, and enhances fertility for men and women alike. It is also used in formulas for supporting hair growth and reversing premature graying of hair. He Shou wu has been prized for centuries because of its ability to prevent premature aging and enhance longevity and youthfulness. According to Chinese theory, He Shou Wu restores and nourishes the primal energy of the body known as "Jing" or "Essence." By nourishing that root energy the skeletal system, the muscular system, and the nervous system are tonified and energized. He Shou Wu has also been shown to increase the body's level of SOD (superoxide dismutase), a critical antioxidant that the body produces to fight free radical damage. SOD helps the body maintain proper cellular function and replication with protection against DNA damage. He Shou Wu is very rich in the mineral Zinc, which supports reproductive and sexual energy, and Iron, which supports healthy blood building.

Restore the Yang is a Kidney Yang restoring formula that warms and tonifies the primal energy in the body, known as Essence (Jing). This formula employs Rehmannia 6 as its base due to the relation of Yang energy being generated by Yin. To this base, we add the super Yang tonics of Epimedium, Cistanches, and Eucommia. The Yang of the Kidneys is the source energy for all the functional processes of every organ system in the body. It is absolutely essential to maintain the Ming-Men fire of the Kidneys to drive all transformation and transportation of essences and nutrients. Cinnamon bark leads the fire of the body back to its source which is the Kidney. Although enhancing the Yang energy, this formula maintains the all important balance of the Yin/Yang dynamic. 90 Vegetarian Capsules 450 mg per capsule Restores Yang vitality Sexual energy tonic Longevity tonic Physical energy tonic Ingredients: Epimedium sagittatum leaf, Cistanches salsa stem, Eucommia ulmoides bark, Prepared Rehmannia glutinosa root, Cinnamon cassia bark, Cornus officinalis fruit, Dioscorea opposita rhizome, Wolfiporia cocos sclerotium, Alisma orientalis rhizome, Paeonia suffruticosa (Moutan) root bark.

Himalayan Rhodiola, from above the snowline of Bhutan and Tibet, is one of the most precious tonic herbs in the world. It cannot be cultivated, and is only collected from the wild, so it is only available in very limited quantities. Don’t get this sacred herb confused with Rhodiola rosea, a common commercially grown herb from Russia. Himalayan Rhodiola is either Rhodiola sacra (“Sacred Rhodiola”) or Rhodiola crenulata. These two nearly identical species are herbally indistinguishable. But there is no comparison between this Rhodiola from the Himalayas and Russian Rhodiola, Himalayan Rhodiola being far superior. Use a tiny amount in your DBG daily for enhanced oxygenation and adaptability. Flavor: Bright floral top notes with heavier sweet and lightly bitter undertones and a dry finish Directions: Add the amount of botanicals per a recipe, as desired, or as directed by a health practitioner. The proper way of extracting botanicals depends on parts used. Flowers, fruits and leaves can usually be steeped or decocted (boiling over fire) while stems, barks and roots typically require decocting. In a Desktop Botanical Garden™ Glass Tea & Elixir Maker, add 1 part botanical(s) and 5-8 parts water, steep or decoct for 5-20 minutes. You can boil water directly in the Elixir Maker. Repeat this process for 2nd or 3rd extraction until all active constituents have been extracted. Ingredient: Dried Wild Himalayan Rhodiola Traditional Function Oxygenation and adaptability enhancer Who can use it? Adults Specifications 3.5 oz. (100g)

Eucommia Drops A perfectly balanced vegetarian Yang and Yin tonic herb Eucommia is the primary plant-sourced herb in Chinese herbalism used to tonify the Kidney Yang functions, in particular as it affects the skeletal structure. It was the second herb ever described in a Chinese herbal text, by Shennong nearly 2,500 years ago. Eucommia is primarily known as a powerful Yang Jing tonic. It strengthens Yang throughout the body, and has a profound supportive benefit to the skeletal structure. It is also a strong Yin Essence (Yin Jing) nourishing herb. Because it provides both Yin and Yang, it is a superb herb for men and women alike and can be used by almost anybody to help support the functions of the skeletal and endocrine systems, and to help support normal healthy sexual functions. Eucommia’s first fame is in its Kidney tonifying effects. It is in fact the primary herb in Chinese tonic herbalism for building a strong, sturdy, flexible skeletal structure and to support normal growth. It is used to help strengthen the bones, ligaments and tendons. Eucommia is one of the few herbs in Chinese tonic herbalism that is sufficiently powerful, balanced and broad spectrum that it may be used alone. However, it may be combined with any number of other tonic herbs in a formulation or tonic herbal program designed to support the Yin and Yang of the Kidney. Eucommia is the quintessential example of a safe, mild and potent Kidney tonic that builds Jing.* Traditional Function: Nourishing the Kidney and Liver; helpful in strengthening healthy bones, ligaments and muscles* Who can use it? Anyone Concentration: 8:1 Specifications: 2 fl. oz. Ingredients: Eucommia bark Other Ingredients: water, alcohol Usage: 3-12 droppers per day or as directed by your health care practitioner Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance.

22 Reishis 22 Reishis is a unique formulation composed of 22 wild woody mushrooms. All of these mushrooms are considered in China to be a form of “Reishi,” or “mushroom of immortality.” All of the 22 mushrooms have potent immune supporting activities that have been demonstrated over the centuries and in modern laboratory studies. All of the “Reishis” are potent Shen tonics as well. This is an extremely potent mushroom elixir like nothing else on the market. Since 22 Reishis is made entirely from wild mushrooms collected in rugged mountains, it is produced in very limited quantities. In China, certain woody mushrooms are held in extremely high esteem for their life-preserving, protective and generally tonic actions. Reishi Mushroom (known as Lingzhi in Chinese) is the King of Mushrooms and is generally regarded in the highest possible regard. Interestingly, in Asia, herbalists are well aware that there are several varieties of Reishi, and all of them are used as tonic herbs to promote radiant health. Each variety has its own strengths and value. In the herbal world of China, there are over 20 mushrooms that are called “Reishi,” the most important being Ganoderma lucidum. Some of the “Reishis” are not actually in the Ganoderma genus but are related or are otherwise extremely potent life-enforcing tonic herbs. All of them have been used for many centuries, so they are well established and well understood at least from a folk-use perspective. Some are readily available and some are very rare. 22 Reishis, a unique formulation created by Master Herbalist Ron Teeguarden, contains literally the 22 varieties of wild woody mushrooms that are sold in “Reishi specialty shops” in China as “Reishi.” They come from all over Asia – from Manchuria, Mongolia, Heaven Mountain, Tibet, Wuyi Mountain, Kunlun (Kyrgyzstan) etc. This is the first product that we know of, perhaps ever, that contains all 22 varieties of Reishi used in the Orient. Specifications: 2 fl. oz. Ingredients: Wild Ganoderma lucidum (Changbai Mountain Red Reishi), wild Purple Reishi, wild Purple Reishi with backward stem, wild Ganoderma lucidum (Heaven Mountain Antler-Shaped Reishi), wild Ganoderma sinensis (Black Reishi), wild Ganodermacapense, wild Fomes fomentarius, wild White Reishi, wild Phellinus igniarius, wild Phellinus uspini (Pine Tree Reishi), wild Inonotusobliquus (Siberian Chaga), wild Stemless Reishi, wild Bamboo Reishi, wild Ganoderma applanatum, wild Blood Reishi, wild Coriolus versicolor (Changbai Mountain), wild Beehive Reishi, Fuscoporia punctate, wild Mongolian Reishi, Wild Tibetan Reishi, wild Shaolin Temple Reishi Type 1 (large red), wild Shaolin Temple Type 2 (small brown), Wild Yunnan Reishi.

Deer Placenta The quintessential Jing tonic Placenta is an embryonic tissue formed during pregnancy from the cells of the fetus. The unique biological compounds in placenta ensure that the fetus is supplied with the necessary nutrients and oxygen needed for successful growth. Chinese antiaging and restorative formulations have often relied upon placenta as a primary ingredient in formulations designed to rejuvenate the body. Deer placenta has been accepted as the premier source of placenta. Deer is considered to be a “higher order” animal, and deer placenta very closely resembles human placenta chemically. It is extraordinarily nourishing and is completely safe to consume. Jing and Placenta To appreciate placenta, you have to understand Jing, our fundamental life force. Jing is the primal energy of life. It is closely associated with our genetic potential, and thus is intimately associated with the aging process. The quantity of Jing determines both our lifespan and the ultimate vitality of our life. We are given a certain amount of Jing by our parents when we are born. We deplete our Jing through our living. When we run low on Jing, we show the signs of aging, and when we run out of Jing, we die. Because of its original role of nurturing new life, placenta is considered to be the most profound substance for replenishing Jing. At conception, Jing of the mother and father merge and become one within the new fetal cell and this new life takes up residence in the womb. This united essence creates an energy which forms the foundation of the new human being's life. It is called pre-natal Jing. During pregnancy, the fetus relies upon the mother to nurture and protect the pre-natal Jing. The placenta is the source of this nourishment. Taking deer placenta as a deep Jing restorative supplement is like plugging yourself into the wall socket and recharging your life battery. Deer placenta provides certain substances that have been shown to have a profound positive influence on the aging process. IGF-1 and Hyaluronic Acid IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) is a protein that promotes tissue growth, organ health, and healthy blood sugar levels. Almost every cell in the human body is affected by IGF-1, especially cells in muscle, cartilage, bone, liver, kidney, nerves, skin, and lungs. In addition to the beneficial insulin-like effects, IGF-1 can also regulate cell growth and development, especially in nerve cells, as well as cellular DNA synthesis. IGF1 mediates most of the growth-promoting and metabolic effects of growth hormone. Our body's demand for IGF-1 never decreases, but aging is accompanied by a loss of IGF-1. As our IGF-1 levels decrease, the physical exuberance and vitality that accompany youthfulness also recede. IGF-1 is a natural constituent of deer placenta, where it is found in high levels (IGF-1 is also found in deer antler). It is assumed that the deer placenta IGF-1, being a very large molecule, when consumed orally, is digested in the small intestines and broken down into amino acids and other components. The complete set of components provided by deer placenta of the IGF-1 may be used by the body to enhance innate IGF-1 production. Deer placenta’s complete amino acid profile is extraordinarily close to that of humans. And deer placenta is rich in hyaluronic acid, an essential component in many tissues of the body. Hyaluronic acid helps to support healthy skin, eyesight and joint function. A 150 pound man has roughly half an ounce of hyaluronic acid in his body, one third of which is turned over (degraded and must be re-supplied or re-made) every day. NEW ZEALAND, a Di Tao™ source of deer placenta New Zealand is free from the major animal diseases found throughout the world. These diseases include “Mad Cow” disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), foot and mouth disease, rabies, chronic wasting disease, etc. Dragon Herbs regards New Zealand to be a Di Tao™ source of deer placenta. Its pristine environment contributes greatly to the health and vitality of New Zealand deer. We only use placenta that has been certified by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry of Australian government for pharmaceutical purposes.

Ron Teeguarden's Super Pill No.1 Ron Teeguarden's Super Pill is a special kind of formulation. It is composed entirely of super tonics, the elite tonic herbs in the world. Each of the herbs in this remarkable formulation are "King Herbs," herbs that typically are the lead herb in major formulations. They all have huge reputations for promoting radiant health, longevity and wisdom. It is possible to purchase each of these herbs individually, but by purchasing and consuming this one product, you are assuring yourself of consuming four of the most special health promoting herbs ever known to mankind. The Herbs in Ron Teeguarden's Super Pill Gynostemma Leaf Gynostemma is popularly believed in Asia to be an anti-aging, longevity herb. Gynostemma is generally reinforcing to overall health, has a strong anti-fatigue effect. It is also used throughout the Orient as a virtual "cure-all." Gynostemma is a major adaptogenic herb, in the same league as Panax Ginseng, Siberian Ginseng, Reishi, Schizandra and Astragalus. In China, Gynostemma is widely believed to reduce oxygen deficiency at high altitudes, to improve digestion, to strengthen the mind, and to improve sex functions. It is also believed to help calm the nerves and to ease pain. The ultimate greatness of Gynostemma lies in its broad spectrum adaptogenic quality. It has double-direction activity in many areas. It has the ability to bring balance to the body under a wide range of stressful circumstances. Constant consumption of Gynostemma tends to have a highly protective quality because it strengthens the adaptive capacity of the person at every level of their life. The chemical constituents responsible for the adaptogenic characteristic of Gynostemma are saponins called gypenosides. Gynostemma contains more than eighty different gypenosides. This is the broadest range of saponins in one plant in nature. Ginseng, for example has about thirty-six saponins (ginsenosides) and Astragalus has about thirty-two saponins (astragalosides). These gypenosides are very similar to that of Ginseng and to the eleutherosides of Siberian Ginseng. In fact, four of Gynostemma’s saponins are precisely the same chemical structure as the saponins found in Ginseng and eleven more are almost identical. The similarities are so close and so extensive that Gynostemma is now called “Southern Ginseng.” To the local people who grow it and consume it, it is simply called “Magical Grass.” Studies indicate that Gynostemma has a double-direction, regulating, and adaptogenic influence of the central nervous system. It is calming when one is overexcited and stimulating when one is depressed. Japanese studies have shown that Gynostemma is clinically useful in a number of mental and neurological conditions, including simple depression, anxiety and schizophrenia. Though Gynostemma is regarded as a tonic herb, it is already perceived by many Asian people to be a “cure all.” In China, Gynostemma is being used to treat inflammation, stop cough, as an expectorant to remove sputum, to treat chronic bronchitis, and much more in actual clinical practice in Asia. What is more important, Gynostemma does not cause any side effects and can be taken orally for a long time. The Gynostemma Extract used in Ron Teeguarden's Super Pill contains 60% gypenosides. This is much more potent than normal extracts, which typically contain approximately 10% gypenosides. Lycium (Goji) Fruit This delicious fruit is very widely used as an excellent Yin Jing and blood tonic. Regular consumption of Lycium is traditionally believed to lead to a long and happy life. It is said that prolonged consumption of Lycium will promote cheerfulness and vitality. Lycium is also said to brighten the eyes and improve vision. It is said that Lycium strengthens the legs and enhances sexual function. Lycium fruit contains polysaccharides that have been demonstrated to strongly fortify the immune system. Lycium is also very rich in a vitamin C precursor that converts to vitamin C in the blood stream, and in B vitamins. Furthermore, it is the richest source of carotenoids, including beta carotene, of all known plants on earth and is thus a powerful antioxidant. Fructus Lycii, the dried fruit of Lycium barbarum is one of the most commonly prescribed Yin-modulators used in Chinese herbalism. In Asia and wherever Chinese herbalism is practiced, this herb/superfood is used as a tonic, and is widely used specifically for the treatment of general debility with a deficiency of vital essence. It replenishes the Yin component and blood elements, improves eyesight, lumbago, impotence vertigo and other symptoms of Yin deficiency of the Kidney and Liver energy channels. In traditional Chinese medicine, it has been documented extensively as a favorite ingredient in recipes for elderly people. This herb contains simple sugars, polysaccharides, betaine, zeaxanthin and physalein. Various human studies have shown the oral administration of goji (lycium fruit either as an extract or as dried fruit) to in have improved their immune functions, raised the serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and hemoglobin but lowered the level of lipid peroxides as well as reduced senility symptoms. Traditional medicinal preparations for sick persons and the elderly usually contain it as one of the ingredients. Goji berries contain an abundance of health-promoting constituents including: Lycium polysaccharides, 18 amino acids, 6 essential fatty acids, vitamins B1, B2, B6, E (not commonly found in fruit), more beta carotene than carrots, as much vitamin C as contained in lemons or oranges, and more than twenty trace minerals including calcium, organic germanium, selenium, zinc, phosphorus, and iron. High-grade, fresh Chinese goji is extremely rich in beta-carotene (some researchers estimate that it has the highest content of beta-carotene among all foods on earth). Beta-carotene can be transformed into vitamin A under the influence of human liver enzymes. Therefore, vitamin A ultimately plays a major influence in Lycium’s actions. Lycium’s function on the eyes is related to this factor. Lycium’s vitamin B1 and B2 contents are significant and the vitamin C content of freeze-dried Lycium has been measured to be 73 mg / 100 grams. Goji berries appear to help support our health in many ways. They possess powerful immune-supporting phytochemicals. Goji berry and its extracts have been shown to neutralize free radicals and to protect DNA. Evidence indicates that goji berries are likely to protect our nervous system (including our brain) and our sexual organs from damage due to stress, temperature variations and free radicals. Convincing evidence supports the traditional notion that consuming goji berries regularly can help support cardiovascular health, protect the pancreas and liver, enhance immunity, support eye health, increase libido and fertility and improve mood. The fruit also contains beta-sitosterol (an anti-inflammatory agent), linoleic acid (a fatty acid), sesquiterpenoids (cyperone, solavetivone), tetraterpenoids (zeaxanthin, physalin), and betaine. Reishi Mushroom Reishi mushroom is arguably the most revered herbal substance in Asia, certainly ranking with ginseng as the elite substance for the attainment of radiant health, longevity and spiritual attainment. It has maintained that position for at least 2000 years, and its reputation and value are only increasing. Since Reishi has been known to have many functions, it has been the subject of a great deal of research in recent years. It is absolutely safe, being non-toxic. Reishi has traditionally been used as an anti-aging herb and has been used for many diseases and disorders as well. Taoists have continuously claimed that Reishi promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, inner awareness and inner strength. They have used it to improve meditative practices and to protect the body, mind and spirit so that the adept could attain both a long and healthy life and spiritual immortality. Reishi is now used as a general tonic to help develop energy, to improve digestion and to improve sleep. Reishi is a profound immune potentiator. It has been found to significantly improve the functioning of the immune system whether the immune system is deficient or excessive. In this sense, it is an immune "modulator"---that is, it helps to modulate, or regulate, and fine tune the immune system. Our immune system is a virtually miraculous network of activities designed over millions of years to protect us from viruses, bacteria, parasites, molds, dust, pollen and malignant cells. It is the responsibility of the immune system to detect the intrusion, or invasion, of these entities and to mount a defense in order to eliminate them. A healthy immune system is capable of resisting most such intruders and a very hardy system may be able to resist invasions that many other people's systems cannot. If the immune system is weakened or malfunctioning, the invading microbes can easily establish a foothold in our body and disease sets in. Antibiotics can often be used to stop the invasion at this time, but chronic use of antibiotics further weakens the immune response. Furthermore, antibiotics are useless against viruses, pollens and most parasites. They are certainly useless against malignant (cancerous) cells generated in our own bodies. It is much better to resist the invasion from within with a fully fortified immune system and not become ill in the first place. This is where herbs like Reishi our now attracting the attention of scientists and consumers alike. Chemical constituents known as polysaccharides play an important role in attacking cancerous cells, but not healthy ones, while simultaneously strengthening the body's overall immune functions. The polysaccharides appear to help the body attack microbial invaders such as viruses, bacteria and yeast. Reishi does not just "stimulate" the immune system. It regulates it. And that is what makes Reishi so precious. If the immune system is excessive, as is the case with auto-immune diseases and allergies, Reishi can have significant positive influence. A group of chemicals known as the ganoderic acids help fight auto-immune diseases such as allergies. Ganoderic acids inhibit histamine release, improve oxygen utilization and improve liver functions. Ganoderic acids are also potent antioxidant free-radical scavengers. Reishi is widely used in Asia to improve the cardiovascular system. It helps lower HDL (the "bad" cholesterol) and reduce excess fatty acids. It has been found to prevent and treat hardening of the arteries, angina and shortness of breath associated with coronary heart disease. It has been demonstrated that Reishi can help reduce the side-effects of many kinds of chemotherapy and radiation treatment and simultaneously contribute to the rebuilding of the immune system – an essential part of the recovery from cancer. Reishi stimulates the production of interferon and interleukins I and II, all being potent natural anti-cancer substances produced in our own bodies. It has also been approved in Japan and China for the treatment of myasthenia gravis, a serious auto-immune disease. Besides that, it is commonly prescribed by MD’s in Japan for chronic bronchitis, memory loss, insomnia, hyperlipidemia and a whole range of degenerative diseases of the elderly, including disorders associated with senility. Reishi is a superb anti-stress herb. Throughout history it has been used to bring balance into the lives of people who needed help in this department, and that means most everyone. Deep in antiquity, it was routinely used by mountain hermits, monks, Daoist adepts and spiritual seekers throughout Asia because it was believed to help calm the mind, ease tension, strengthen the nerves, strengthen memory, sharpen concentration, improve focus, build will power and, as a result, help build wisdom. That is why it was called the "Mushroom of Spiritual Potency" by these seekers. The people of Asia have never lost their faith in Reishi. They believe more than ever in Reishi's power to improve the quality of life by improving the inner life of a human being. All the scientific validation only explains the physical nature of Reishi, but it is the profound ability of Reishi to improve one's life on every plane that makes it so miraculous. Reishi is indeed calming and centering. Everyone who takes Reishi notices the peacefulness that seems to accompany its use. Many people are able to stop using chemical drugs. And Reishi seems to be cumulative, gradually strengthening the nerves and actually changing how we perceive life. This product is made from 100% Duanwood, which studies have shown is the most powerful Reishi in the world from a pharmacological perspective. It is extremely rich in all of the components that make Reishi great in the first place. Duanwood Reishi is far more powerful than common hot house Reishi and Reishi mycelium, the most common sources of raw materials on the American market. Duanwood Reishi is a substance that builds health on all levels. But high quality Duanwood Reishi is among the rarest of jewels in nature. Life itself is based on the ability to adapt to the stresses, the attacks, the challenges that come our way every day. Duanwood Reishi seems to provide an incredible resource of the full range of energies we need to meet these challenges. Duanwood Reishi is indeed "the great protector," protecting us on every level – physically, immunologically, mentally, spiritually. It helps us adapt to the world and provides additional power for us to achieve a superior level of life. When we are so protected and so provided for, we can achieve things that otherwise would be impossible. That is why Duanwood Reishi has been called the "herb of good fortune." Tibetan Rhodiola Tibetan Rhodiola sacra is an exciting herb, only recently available outside of Tibet. It is a rare herbal substance because it grows in one of the harshest environments in the world. In the Orient, Rhodiola sacra is called “Plateau Ginseng,” and as the species name “sacra” indicates, the Tibetans consider Rhodiola sacra to be a sacred herb. It has been used by the Tibetan people as a powerful adaptogenic vitalizer and as a substantial medicinal agent since the beginning of Tibetan civilization. Rhodiola sacra has also been prized by the Chinese and was very positively reviewed in the very first Chinese herbal classic over two thousand years ago. It was regarded by the author of that classic text, Shen Nong, as a life-prolonging, wisdom enhancing “superior herb.” However, the rarity ofRhodiola sacra has prevented it from becoming a well-known commodity outside of Asia. According to Tibetans, Tibetan Rhodiola sacra may be used as a tonic, in which case it strongly increases vitality. It is good for strengthening the body and mind, resisting fatigue, resisting a lack of oxygen and excessive radiation (including solar radiation), and for prolonging life. It is especially well known for increasing the intelligence of those who consume it regularly. Rhodiola sacra hasthe action of “supporting and strengthening the human body” and the immune potentiating effects of Rhodiola sacra are, according to some researchers, stronger than those Ginseng (a VERY potent immune potentiator). Rhodiola sacra has a notable restorative effect if one consumes a preparation while the tired body is recovering or is failing to recover from strong or excessive exertion. Tibetan Rhodiola sacra is now being distributed and consumed in China and Japan. According to the Chinese Ministry of Health,Rhodiola sacra has the following functions: It has the action of supporting and strengthening the human body and intelligence, and prolonging life. It has double-direction adjusting effects on the nervous and endocrine systems. It is good for resisting fatigue, lack of oxygen and radiation, and it can improve a person’s memory, power of concentration and work-efficiency. Consumption of a small amount of Tibetan Rhodiola sacra extract significantly improves a person’s capacity to absorb and utilize oxygen. This is a major key to the incredible benefits associated with this herb. When you consume Tibetan Rhodiola sacra, it is the same as inhaling pure oxygen. Tibetan Rhodiola sacra is a superior tonic for those who work from behind a desk or at a computer terminal for long periods of time. It is a powerful brain tonic and alertness enhancer. People who consume Rhodiola sacra find that they can work for much longer without losing their ability to concentrate and create. It is a superb herb for writers, executives, lawyers, etc. Tibetan Rhodiola sacra is especially beneficial to those who live under stressful conditions. It has been proven that Rhodiola sacra reduces the body’s stress response, and thus protects against the physical side effects of chronic or acute stress. It protects from the damaging effects of mental stress as well. All this is due to its powerful adaptogenic activity. People stay focused and suffer far less from fatigue even under severe stress. Rhodiola sacra is the ideal herbal supplement for the modern world. This incredible herb has long been used by the Tibetan monks to enhance their spiritual power, the power of concentration and physical endurance. It has undoubtedly played a major role in the development of Tibetan culture. It is a superb herb to take before meditation, since it improves respiration and clears the mind and promotes focused mental states. Tibetan Rhodiola sacra gained its name because it is considered a sacred herb in Tibet and Bhutan. Evidence has shown that Tibetan Rhodiola sacra is in many ways more powerful than Ginseng, and, for that matter, every other adaptogenic herb in the world. It is a superb herb for people who work very hard physically. Rhodiola sacra has been shown to improve physical endurance. It has been shown to be a superb tonic and energizer for those into physical fitness and for athletes, including extreme athletes. Rhodiola sacra has been found to be extremely beneficial to the cardiovascular system, and is used in China and Tibet to prevent heart disease, the number one cause of death in the United States.* Rhodiola sacra is also a powerful immune modulator, building the immune system into a well tuned fighting machine. Tibetan Rhodiola sacra also is being used as a powerful and safe antidepressant.* It is believed to be more powerful than St. Johns Wort, currently the world’s number one selling natural antidepressant substance. Rhodiola sacra has been found to be stimulating to the appetites and strengthening for weakened individuals and for those recovering from illness and surgery. However, it may be used by people of excessive weight to help in losing fat because it increases respiratory power and thus can act as a thermogenic agent. By providing increased oxygen and increased energy, Rhodiola sacra improves the ability to lose weight through exercise. Rhodiola sacra is the perfect herb for those who want to gain muscle and lose fat. Rhodiola sacra is rich in the primary active ingredient, salidroside. However, it is important to know that this single active agent is not the sole active agent in Rhodiola sacra, and that Dragon Herbs’ Diamond Mind is extracted so that the full range of phytochemicals are fully extracted. This is a full potency herbal extract. It is effective in very small quantities and its effects are felt by many people almost immediately. Rhodiola sacra is a non-toxic herbal nutrient. Safety studies, as well as 2000 years of experience, indicate conclusively thatRhodiola sacra is extremely safe, having no side effects in humans when taken even at high doses. Numerous studies have been presented to the Chinese Ministry of Public Health, which has reached the following evaluation: “Tibetan Rhodiola sacra has no poison, no sub-slow poison and does not cause any sudden change and deformity.” Rhodiola sacra, and several other very closely related species of Rhodiola (which may be used interchangeably with Rhodiola sacra) grows on the Himalayas at more than 14,700 feet above sea level, under extremely adverse conditions. The region in whichRhodiola sacra grows is extremely barren due to the extreme climatic conditions of the Tibetan alpines. This is considered to be one of the harshest environments on earth, with dry air, insufficient oxygen, strong ultraviolet radiation and a huge day-and-night temperature variance (often as much 60 degrees Centigrade or more). Rhodiola sacra, which belong in to the Crassulaceae family, isa sub-shrub plant with a succulent stem. Its adaptability to the harsh environmental circumstances and its vitality are seldom found in any other plants. Rhodiola sacra’s root and stem are mainly used as a precious tonic. The major effective contents are salidroside (C14H20O9), tyrosot (C8H10O2), p-sitosterol, ethyl gallate, gallic acid, flavones, phenol compounds, 35 kinds of biologically active trace elements (e.g., Fe, Al, Zn, Ag, Co, Cd, Ti, Mo, Mn, etc.), as well as a complex volatile oil. Tibetan Rhodiola also contains 18 amino acids which are needed by the human body, 7 of which are "essential" (cannot be produced by the body). Such a spectrum of bio-nutrients is seldom seen in any other natural plant. Salidroside, tyrosot and sitosterol mainly enhance the resistance of the human body for adapting to stressful conditions and adjust physiological functions for restoration. It has double-direction adjusting effects on the nervous system and endocrine system, and possesses many kinds of physiologically active components which studies have shown have anticarcinogenic, antiviral, and antimicrobial activity in in vitro and animal studies*. The people of Tibet knew over a thousands years ago that by decocting Rhodiola sacra with water or extracting it in alcohol, it can be drunk to overcome fatigue from heavy physical labor and to help increase the vitality necessary for completing extraordinary physical tasks. The benefits of Rhodiola sacra were recorded in the Jingzhu Materia Medica (the Tibetan Medicine Documents). According to that ancient Tibetan medical classic, Rhodiola sacra is nourishing to the lungs and respiratory functions, it is antipyretic, and vitalizing. It was said by “Supernatural Peasant’s (Shen Nong’s) Materia Medica Classic” that “Rhodiola sacra will make the body light and relaxed, and will make the eyes bright.” According to a large numbers of pharmacological experiments and clinical reports, weak and sick men and women can be helped in building up their strength, intelligence and efficiency of working or exercising power by taking a Rhodiola sacra product frequently. A healthy man or woman can noticeably raise his or her memory and power of concentration. Rhodiola sacra has also been used for stimulating the mental energy and working efficiency of those who work primarily with their brains. It can be used for relieving internal heat and for detoxification. It is used for invigorating blood circulation and stopping bleeding. With respect to gynecology, it has a beneficial effect on women’s consumptive disorders, and abnormal menstruation, either excessive or deficient. Traditionally it is believed to have a remarkable curative effect on neurosis and asthenia resulting from various causes.* Therefore, it plays a very important role in military medicine, space medicine and sports medicine. Tibetan researchers have been studying Tibetan Rhodiola sacra with great interest in the last twenty years, and have conducted experiments for toxicology and physicochemical and pharmacological analyses, together with various large hospitals, including the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, the Chinese Ministry of S

Schizandra & Lycium Drops, composed out of Schizandra and Goji (Lycium barbarum) tincture has served as the masthead of our tincture product-line for twenty-two years. Every month of every year, it is always our number one selling tincture. There must be something very special about it in order to maintain such dominance among elite herbal connoisseurs for over two decades without ever falling off the throne.According to the great Taoist Master Sung Jin Park, the blend can restore youthfulness, slow down aging, invigorate all twelve meridians, increase vitality, calm the nerves, nourish and cleanse our blood, protect the liver, strengthen the mind, improve sexual functioning for both men and women, improve respiratory functions and beautify the skin.Though this is a long list of potential benefits, Master Park's claims are based on over two thousand years of experience by Asian people with this combination. These claims are all classical benefits believed to be derived from these two remarkable tonic fruits. What does Goji & Schizandra Drops do? Traditional and Modern Conventional Asian Functions Primary Functions: Promote radiant health on all levels and to protect the body and mind. To nurture Yin. Promote adaptability. To help maintain a happy healthy mood.Secondary Functions: Protect the liver. Nourish the blood. Strengthen the eyes. Help maintain healthy sexual function. Strengthen the mind.Treasures: Jing, Qi, ShenAtmospheric Energy: WarmTaste: Contains all five flavors: Sour, sweet, salty, pungent, slight bitter.Organ Associations: All 12 organ/meridian systems. Name Change We've changed the name from Schizandra & Lycium Drops to Goji & Schizandra Drops. Many people are looking for a quality Goji extract and we felt they could find it easier with the new name using the more popular nomenclature (the name "Goji" had not been coined when we first created the product 22 years ago). The product is still 50% Goji and 50% Schizandra, so in this regard there is no change. We hope all you "old timers" don't take any offense or become confused by this name change. Made with Fingerprint Identical Transfer Technology™ (FITT™) Over the years, we have made Goji & Schizandra Drops (formerly called Schizandra & Lycium Drops) with several different producers, each with slightly different extraction technologies, secrets and skills. For the last few years, we have been thinking about using FITT™ to make our tinctures, which is a green technology that uses a room temperature process to extract herbs so as to preserve all the valuable components in their natural state and proportion. This proprietary extraction technology captures the original phytochemical profile of a botanical (the plant’s fingerprint) and transfers its safely and almost identically into the final extract, preserving the aroma, color and taste of the plant perfectly. Recently, we were overwhelmingly successful at extracting very high quality Deer Antler as a water-alcohol extract (a tincture) with FITT™. We were so impressed with what we got out of the Deer Antler that we have now switched our production of Goji & Schizandra Drops to FITT™. We’ve been working on it for more than two years and have produced samples with FITT™ a couple of different times to make sure we should make the switch. Each time, our herbalists and local testers raved about the samples and implored us to make the move. The results are amazing! We are surprised that a tincture could be this good! It is potent and it is incredibly delicious, in its own unique way of course (we’re sure you’ll love it). Our in-house herbalists and local clients have practically gone off the deep end for this new FITT™ Goji & Schizandra Drops.

Product Details One of Nature's greatest adaptogens Immune system modulator Central nervous system stimulant Cardiovascular tonic Regulates blood sugar & lipids Anti-inflammatory Tonic to the lungs, spleen & kidneys Excellent for adrenal fatigue Traditionally used as a 'spirit herb' for treating the body, subtle energies & mind Nyishar 'RenShen' is a concentrated extract of the best Ginseng in the world - 18 year old wild-simulated Panax Ginseng harvested from the protected Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve. Ginseng is a world famous herbal medicine known for providing energy & stamina, but most of what is available on the global market is young cultivated roots, harvested after just a few years of age. When we allow Ginseng to mature beyond 7 years it becomes less stimulating with a more balanced & harmonious energising effect - a well rounded potency that develops greater benefits & complexity with each passing year. Ginseng that has aged beyond 10 years is very expensive due to its superior quality, and Ginseng in it teenage years is even more sought after and more difficult to obtain. It is wild Ginseng however, that has had the highest reputation as a supreme tonic for thousands of years throughout Asia, and is revered in traditional medical systems as a panacea. When aged it produces a sublime flavour & aroma, and the adaptogenic nature of the wild root is incomparable to it cultivated counterpart. However, wild Ginseng has been hunted to the precipice of extinction within its native ecosystems throughout Asia. Ginseng is a very important indicator species for the biodiversity of healthy forest ecosystems, so it has a lot of important work to do aside from providing medicine for people. This is why wild-simulated Ginseng is the sustainable option that we should be focusing on, as it provides medicine equal in quality to truly wild roots, without endangering the presence of Panax Ginseng in the wild. Wild-simulated Ginseng is produced from wild seeds that have been sustainably collected from Ginseng growing out in the wilderness. The seeds are then sown in a private, protected area within the same region, where the climate and ecological factors mirror those from where the seeds were originally harvested. The plants are then left alone and allowed to grow, responding to the stresses and trials of the natural elements, while being observed from a distance. As these plants are made to fend for themselves, some of them may not make it, but the ones that do prevail are left to reach maturity and develop the complex chemical profile and balanced energetic nature that wild Ginseng is famous for. The fact that the seeds are sown by hand and the plants are grown in a private area protected from other people, means that these cannot be classified as truly wild, but 'wild-simulated'. This enables the plants to develop medicinal potency equal to their wild counterpart, but without adding further stress to Ginseng's ability to survive in the wild. 'RenShen' is the Mandarin name for Asian Ginseng, which translates as 'man root'. Ginseng earned this name firstly because the central root grows limb-like appendages that resemble human form, but also because it is believed to revitalise all 3 aspects of the human organism - the body, subtle energies and the mind. Our 18 year old wild-simulated roots are macerated for 2 months in organic micro-distilled, hand made, small batch alcohol (40% abv). The liquid solvent of this extract is alcohol produced from French heirloom wheat, fermented and then distilled in five separate stages. It is then filtered through pure ocean sands from a protected region of the Atlantic coast in the Dune Du Pilat. Finally, the alcohol level is reduced in successive stages with water from the ancient and deep Eocene water table from the surrounding area. This process creates the purest and highest quality solvent possible for this superlative extract. Each bottle contains at least 15,000mg of wild-simulated Ginseng, providing 500mg per dose (30 drops/1 squirt). Supplement Facts Ingredients: 18 year old Wild-Simulated Panax Ginseng Root (15,000mg), Pure Quintuple-Distilled Alcohol (40% alcohol). Bottled in Miron Violet Glass for complete UV protection. Volume: 50ml Serving Size: 30 drops/one full squirt Serving Per Container: 50 Directions: Squirt the tincture into the mouth underneath the tongue and hold it in the mouth for at least 2 minutes before swallowing.

Product Details Lion's Mane Sovereign - Concentrated Multi-Step Dual-Extract Neuro-regenerative Stimulates neurotrophins (Nerve-Growth-Factor & Brain-Derived-Neurotrophic-Factor) Enhances immune function Gastrointestinal protection Natural prebiotic Natural anti-anxiety & antidepressant Increases nitric oxide and Improves circulation Helps regulate blood sugar/lipids A 100g pack of Lion's Mane Sovereign provides 100 days supply at a maintenance dose at 1g per day, or 50 days supply at a stronger dose of 2g per day. Lion's Mane Sovereign is a concentrated extract that has been produced to the highest specifications currently possible. It is a multi-step alcohol-based extract of Hericium erinaceus liquid-fermented mycelia, combined with the hot water extract of the organic fruiting body. This ensures the highest quality source material with zero substrate present in the extract. Once cultivated, the mycelia undergoes ethanolic extraction to draw out the bio-active compounds, including the Erinacines - terpene-bound polyphenols that are proven to stimulate Nerve-Growth-Factor (NGF) and Brain-Derived-Neurotrophic-Factor (BDNF). The extract is then vacuum dried - nothing is added. The product is just pure Lion’s Mane mycelia and fruiting body, fully extracted to provide everything you are expecting it to. As well as the immune-enhancing beta-glucans, this extract has been tested for erinacines and hericenones because it is these compounds that provide the unique ability to stimulate neurotrophins within the brain and body. Every single Lion's Mane extract on the market is utilising the nerve regenerating properties as the main focus of their marketing, yet if a Lion's Mane extract does not provide specific percentages for these bioactive compounds then we should have strong reservations about its efficacy. Beta-glucans are a very important component of medicinal fungi, but they alone do not have any regenerative effect on the nervous system whatsoever. To be certain we need to see evidence of triterpenes, but especially erinacines and hericenones - see our 'Supplement Facts' label for more information. Nyishar Lion's Mane Sovereign delivers a truly superior product that is a completely pure and rich source of the nerve regenerating compounds that the fungal mycelia and fruiting body have to offer. It provides supreme quality & potency without cutting any corners whatsoever.

Deer Antler Drops – 8 oz Super potent hydro-ethanolic extraction Changbai Mountain Sika Deer antler. Only the top 1" of tips. Yang Jing and Yin Jing tonic. Product DescriptionDragon Herbs Changbai Mountain Deer Antler Drops is made exclusively with antler from Sika Deer, long considered to be the best deer antler. These are small spotted deer that are native to Northeastern Asia. This is the most valuable antler in the world. Deer Antler is considered to be one of the “big three” ultimate “herbs” (dietary supplements) of China — Ginseng, Reishi Mushroom and Deer Antler.Deer Antler supports normal healthy life functions so as to promote wellbeing. Deer Antler is a Yang Jing tonifying herb, and it also tonifies Yin Jing, Qi, Blood and Shen. It therefore tonifies all three Treasures. Deer Antler is used by athletes to support muscular strength. Deer Antler is suitable to both men and women. Deer Antler extract contains hyaluronic acid, a natural substance, also produced in the human body, that maintains elasticity of the skin and connective tissue.Dragon Herbs Changbai Mountain Deer Antler Drops is a unique product in the U.S. market. There are dozens of other “deer velvet” products available, but Dragon Herbs Changbai Mountain Deer Antler Drops is the ONLY product made ENTIRELY from Deer Antler tips. Deer Antler grows from its “tips.” As it grows, the soft body of the antler hardens, while the growing tip remains soft and bio-chemically rich. It has been estimated that 90% of the biologically active constituents of the ENTIRE antler is contained in just the last inch of the antler, known as the “tip,” even if the antler is 18 inches long. Dragon Herbs deer are farmed in beautiful, pristine Changbai Mountain, and are certified by the Chinese Ministry of Health to be clean and safe. Since the deer are so valuable and since deer antler is essentially a renewable “resource,” deer are highly protected. They thrive under the conditions established. The antler is painlessly cut off the live deer when the antler has developed either two or three branches and covered by “velvet.” Dragon Herbs uses only the distal one inch of the antler to make this product.The deer from which the antlers are collected are humanely treated at all stages of their life. They are very well fed, are allowed to graze freely in the foothills during the daylight hours, are protected from predators and are not harmed during the collection of their antlers. They are constantly monitored for their health. After the antlers are collected in May and June, the antlers regrow during the same growing season and are allowed to grow out fully. “Antler harvesting” has been proven to improve the life span of the male deer, which become somewhat less aggressive during mating season (fall and winter) and less prone to fighting and killing each other for the females. As a result, most male deer that have their antlers removed in the spring do not die from rutting, whereas the death and injury rate in the wild is very high. Female spotted deer do not produce antlers.Ingredients: Deer Antler tips.Traditional FunctionReinforcing Kidney Yang, tonifies Yin Jing, tonifies blood*Who can use it?Adults who wish to increase primal Yang energy.Concentration4:1Specifications8 fl. oz.Other IngredientsWater, Grain Alcohol (30% by volume)Dosage3-12 droppers per day as desired or as directed by your health care practitioner
