Is an Herbal
Nutrition Supplement for me?

There are many opinions as to the validity of herbal nutrition supplements.

We are talking about using tablets, shakes, or powders to make sure we get the "required" dietary intake of nutrients every day.

The basic building blocks of life, so to speak.

Wow, this is pandora's box waiting to be opened...

Many of the so called 'Herbal Remedies' that are becoming popular here in the West (AKA America) have been around for centuries, and sometimes millennium in other cultures.
Yet Western science spends an incredible amount of time and money to discount their effectiveness.

Western Science is not concerned with curing a problem, merely removing the symptoms.

There is no money in a true cure. Eradication of health problems would cause a MAJOR impact in their bottom line.

Now, are some herbal remedies, just plain FATAL? YES!!!!!!!!!

Just because it comes from nature does not make it good.
Some plants just don't want to be eaten by humans, so they have developed defense mechanisms that kill us.
It might not kill the dog, but eating some of the plants in your yard may kill you.

Personally, so far as I'm concerned, Herbal Nutrition Supplements are all about giving the body what it needs to do its job.
The Herbs don't "cure" anything.
They provide the pieces the body needs to be effective in its job of repairing damage to its systems.

Vitamins, don't cure anything, they provide building blocks. The basic pieces that our bodies need to rebuild the cells that regularly die and need to be replenished.
This allows the defensive systems to kill the parts they need to kill, and the regenerative systems to replace the missing cells.

Body builders rip and tear muscles intentionally.
Because when those rips are allowed to repair themselves properly, they come back bigger and stronger.
I cannot re-grow an arm or a finger, but every day, cells from every piece of my body die, and are replaced with the healthiest ones my body can build.
Why shouldn't I give those cells everything they need to be the best cells they can be?

What's the real difference between eating all the fruits and vegetables I'm supposed to eat each day, and taking herbal nutrition supplements made from the same plants minus their water content?

Or should I take a tablet made from synthesized "Vitamins" with no clue as to what their source is?

Gotta love personal choice.

Me, I say take the herbal nutrition supplements made from the plants I should have eaten, and eat simply to get the rest. (See Nutrition Express)

I love my meats and grains. I don't want to give up the time to deal with vegetables unless someone else is cooking.

Not all supplements are created equal.

Know the companies you deal with.

Take the time to Take Control of what you are putting in your body.
