Ingredient Details:

Remember, the individual benefits of each herb is magnified when it is correctly combined or formulated with other herbs.  It is the synergistic effect of all the herbs together that is even greater than the benefit of just one herb.

·          BEE POLLEN is the first ingredient on the label.  This has been known to be a blood builder and has many naturally occurring vitamins and minerals.  It has been used as a remedy for allergies like hay fever.  It also has some protein in it that is great for endurance. Bee Pollen if often used by athletes.

·          GINSENG is known to boost the body’s energy.  It helps the body’s metabolism and it is a very good tonic for the cardiovascular system.  It strengthens the liver, bone marrow and adrenals.  This has been a staple for the Chinese for centuries.  Many times the Chinese people would drill a hole in the Ginseng root, put a string through it and make a necklace and wear it around their neck.  Then they would chew on it all day long while working in the rice fields to give them extra energy and endurance.

·          ALFALFA is a common plant that grows in America that has been known for its ability to aid in digestion and assimilation of nutrients.  It is rich in trace minerals.

·          JAPANESE DODDER is an overall tonic for the body.  It helps brighten the eyes by giving needed nutrients.  This herb has been known to help prolong life or help with longevity.

·          CHINESE KNOT GRASS ROOT helps to eliminate uric acid and lactic acid.  (Remember these acids cause pain and stiffness in the muscles when trapped there.)  This herb also boosts the kidney function.  This would help to prevent muscle cramping and assist with recovery time for an athlete or for anyone who is very active, using muscles they haven’t used for a long time.

·          KELP comes from the ocean, and it nourishes the thyroid function because of the many minerals it contains, one of which is natural iodine.

·          CASSIA TORA helps strengthen the body with a mild cleansing action.  It also helps the cardiovascular function and helps to combat hypertension.

·          COSNOPOSIS ROOT helps improve circulation.  It assists with the oxygen transport in the body.  It also helps cleanse the lungs.  (We can see why the athletes would like this because sometimes when they run, they get a mucous buildup in their lungs.)

·          BOSCHNIAKIA HERB is another good body tonic.  It is a humectant, which helps to improve the body water to the cells and helps to prevent dehydration.  This herb also helps to activate hormone secretion.

Success Story

1.  Garvin’s Success Story  

                In January 1999 I started experiencing some discomfort in my lower back.  I had frequented the chiropractor’s office many times over the years with multiple problems with my back and neck.  But what I didn’t know was this situation was totally different.

                After a month of visiting my chiropractor 3-5 times a week, my chiropractor concluded there was a bigger problem, a possible bulged disk.  He recommended I go see my medical doctor, who confirmed I had a bulged disk.  I would be okay, but I needed to take it easy for a couple of weeks.  He prescribed muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory medication. 

                Things got worse.  I continued to degenerate.  The pain over the weeks migrated from my back to my left leg, and I was slowly losing the use of it.  Even a little thing like blowing my nose or sneezing would shoot pain down my left leg.  I could only lie on my right side in bed, and of course walking was out of the question.  The only way I could get from room to room was to scoot around in my office chair.   A week later I saw my medical doctor again, but this time I was unable to make it up to the doctor’s office on my own.  I took three steps away from the van and the pain was so intense that it took the help of my wife, Judy, and the assistance of two sympathetic souls who just happened to be going to my doctor’s office!  I had a brief examination and my doctor said I was going to need an operation, and that I needed a CT Scan.  It took about 2 weeks to get the CT Scan and see the Orthopedic Surgeon. 

                Judy and I were praying.  God does it His way in His time.  Judy was downtown and happened to meet a friend, Trudy.  Trudy asked how we were doing and Judy shared about my problem.  Trudy said that she had something that might help.  My wife returned home excited about the possibilities.  So now I was about to sample herbal foods, but apparently, not just any herbs.  I found encouraging results within a couple of days, so when I visited my doctor, I was able to shuffle my way into the office without support.

              The doctor showed me the CT scans.  It was more than just a bulged disk.  A portion of the bulge had severed off and fallen down into the spinal channel, the encasement for the spinal cord.  The scans showed this 9mm marble-shaped blob against the spinal cord, which was causing the pain down the sciatic nerve of my left leg, and in turn inflaming the muscles and tendons.  This blob would be assimilated into the body.  The bad news was that this process would take 3-9 months!

                I have now been eating and drinking Sunrider products for 4 weeks, less a day.  For 2 weeks I have been walking with some discomfort at the start and with zero discomfort today.  I sleep well at night and can resume pretty well a normal life.  I attribute this regeneration to Sunrider products.  They are not medicine, just whole foods providing nourishment and enabling my body to restore itself.  Today I saw my Orthopedic doctor for the second time and he was surprised regarding the speed of my recovery.  With this type of injury, he told me that I’m among the top 1/3 for fast recovery, and that I should keep doing whatever I’m doing.  Three to 9 months to recover?  I don’t think so.  Not 3 months, but 3 weeks!!!

NOTE:  Garvin ate three servings daily of Nuplus, Quinary, Calli, Sunectar, along with 15 SportCaps daily to get these results!
