New 'Russian Zappers'
Extend Presence of
GI Electrostimulators
on AO Site
ast month we introduced the
Ecomed
Electronic Normalizer - the first in a series
of energy products from the Russian Federation
we plan to carry.
This month
we introduce a similar product,
'Tomsk' Autonomous
Electrostimulator for the Gastrointestinal
Tract - which extends, in function,
the capabilities of this line. Read
the product page for full details.
Extensive Line of Herbal Tinctures
from Amercan Herbal, TCM and
Ayurvedic Traditions Expected
to Reach 300 Distinct Formulas
ntroducing Phyto Rx,
a line of "high saturated," alcohol-based
herbal tinctures. The initial introduction
draws from 69 herbs -- all well-known to practicing
herbalists, the majority of them in American
herbal pharmacopaeias.
For
many years, Alpha Omega Labs has used its
own herbal extraction methods to produce
its own tincture formulations (i.e. the best known
being the Cansema Tonic and our CanSupport line).
Given the popularity of those products worldwide,
it only made sense to extend the line to
include less esoteric and more established
herbal formulas - formulas that are commonly
found in most herbal pharmacopias of the
Americas.
In
the coming months we will substantially
expand this line to include herbal
formulas from other medical botanical
traditions.
The
complete set of monograph pages for the
Phyto Rx are
now available.

Olive
Leaf
Extract
Do you really need to pay
5 times as much for the added purity? Or is the "extract
controversy" more about price differentiation?
his month we introduce both an encapsulated
and a tincture form of Olive Leaf,
known to herbalists the world over for its antimicrobial
and vermifugal properties --- but not before taking
a position on the controversy over the "leaf powder
versus extract" controversy.
Admittedly, most
herbals are stronger in herbal form. In the column at left,
we also introduce Phyto Rx this month, which
utilizes grain alcohol in the creation of those
tinctures, as well. Alcohol extraction allows
many of the components of a herbal product,
particularly those phytochemical compounds
that are weakened or destroyed over time or
are subject to heat lability, to be preserved.
That is why it is used by herbalists so extensively.
There are
some herbs, however, which have medicinal compounds
that are quite stable and do not need to be made
into tinctures to bring out their optimal medicinal
benefit. One herb we are known for using extensively,
for instance, is bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis).
Although some herbalists put bloodroot into tincture
form, it is really quite unnecessary. This is
because none of the 60 powerful alkaloids,
chiefly "sangarene," that are known to exert
medicinal effects, have stability issues.
Nonetheless,
in the interests of tradition and personal choice,
we make olive leaf available in tincture form
as well.
Body Fat Analysis
Made Reasonable
In preparation for
our own extensive weight-loss section, we decided to
introduce a reasonably priced
handheld model for well
under $20.
Even since the
founding of Alpha Omega Labs twelve years ago, obesity
has become a growing health care problem in the West -
even globally, which is why one medical researcher
calls the problem "globesity."
So inexpensive
and easy to use, the
Vitalio Body Fat Analyzer will
help you determine the severity of your weight problem,
and give you an idea of how far you have to go to get
to the 'health zone.'
