Heaven Mountain® Goji Berries, the only Goji berries that are snack-grade delicious™ Heaven Mountain® Goji Berries are plump, juicy, naturally sweet, and absolutely delicious. Unlike other Gojis on the market, Heaven Mountain® Goji Berries are sweeter, fleshier and have less seeds. They have a much higher moisture level which contributes to their texture as plump and juicy. Most Gojis on the market are rock hard. This is not without a reason. All the Gojis sold in the US come from China, whether they are labeled as Himalayan, Tibetan, or Wild. That translates to a very long transit time from the growing regions to the hands of the consumers. Typically, the berries reach the consumers at least 4-6 months after they are harvested. To stay shelf stable, most Goji farmers dry their Goji until the berries are very bone dry and very hard. After years of research and development, Dragon Herbs has developed a special handling process and a custom designed packaging that allows the berries’ natural moisture level to be retained while satisfying the shelf stability required in commercial trade nowadays. In a test conducted by an independent lab, Heaven Mountain® Goji Berries are shown to be twice as juicy as a competitor’s.  What makes Heaven Mountain® Goji Berries so special? Simply put, Heaven Mountain. Heaven Mountain is a remote mountain range in the northern region of Xin Jiang Province, China. In a more sophisticated way, the concept of Di Dao used in the world of herbalism can best describe the relationship between the geographical and geological features of the region and the phyto chemical profile of Heaven Mountain® Goji Berries.  The “Di Tao” of Herbs There’s a great concept in China known as Di Tao. The literal translation of Di Tao is “Earth Tao,” or “the Way of the Earth.” The Chinese dictionary definition of Di Tao is “from the place noted for the product ~ genuine, authentic, not from an inferior or counterfeit source.” According to the regulations of the Chinese Pharmacopeia, all herbal products manufactured and sold in China must utilize herbs that are Di Tao - that is, the herbs must come from a source that is considered legitimate and genuine. All plants are the product of their growing environment and conditions. Different regions have their distinctive make-up of water, soil, sunshine, climate, and biological distribution. The varying methodologies adopted by different regions in their cultivation, collection, and final preparation of the herbs further differentiate the herbs from different sources. The Di Tao source of an herb is gradually established through the historical use of the herbs. By documenting how herbs from different origins differ in their pharmacological effects on the human body, the regions or sources that produce the most desired results have slowly come to be recognized as the authentic genuine source, Di Tao, both by common knowledge among the practicing herbalists as well as by government supported official recognition in the materia medica. Heaven Mountain® Goji Berries is one such example. The water, the soil, the sunshine and the weather have the precise qualities necessary for producing the best, richest, tastiest, most potent Goji berries on Earth. As a result, they have an extraordinary and balanced phyto-nutrient profile.  Water As part of the enormous Gobi Desert that covers southern Mongolia and northern China, Xin Jiang receives little to no rain each year. Every drop of water in the growing fields is derived from the melted snow and glacial runoff from the pristine Heaven Mountain. This water is pure and structured – it is nature’s ultimate irrigation system.    Millions of people throughout Asia consume Goji berries every day for both their unique, satisfying flavor, and for their health benefits. In China’s first herbal encyclopedia, Shen Nong’s Materia Medica, written in the 1st century B.C., Goji was classified as a “superior tonic,” a class of herbs that people should take on an on-going basis to preserve youth and to promote general well being of life. Goji’s superior tonic classification has stood the test of time. Two thousand years later, Goji berries are still being consumed regularly throughout Asian civilizations for those purported reasons. We now know that Goji berries are a “high-ORAC” antioxidant-rich superfruit featuring important phytochemicals such a beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, betaine, polysaccharides (LBPs), trace minerals and vitamins.  Soil The virgin land of the Gobi Desert has little vegetation. It has a very high content of alkaline minerals. The pH level of the soil can be as high as 8.7 (17 times more alkaline than neutral) and the soil salt content can reach 1%. Few plants can survive in this kind of harsh environment. Goji, however, being an extremely adaptable plant, thrives here.  Daylight Duration Xin Jiang province has the longest daylight duration among all provinces in China (Tibet included). It averages 2550 to 3300 hours of sunshine per year. The intensive sun light allows for much more productive photosynthesis in the Goji plants, leading to more flesh, sweeter taste, and naturally, higher content of active ingredients such as Lycium Polysaccharides (LBP).  Precipitous Daily Temperature Fluctuation Another unique weather characteristic of Xin Jiang is the precipitous temperature fluctuation between day and night, usually as much as 36 to 45 °F within a single day. The locals joke that in Xin Jiang, no traveling is necessary in order to experience the four seasons within one day. It is quite common that you start the day with a winter jacket, strip down to a silk shirt at noon, then at night, you can enjoy their famous watermelons, next to a bonfire, that is. It is Heaven Mountain Goji’s superb adaptability that makes it a highly revered adaptogenic, stressfighting tonic herb. The Ministry of Agriculture of the People’s Republic of China has officially certified Heaven Mountain goji berries as Di Tao.

Tonic Alchemy is vibrant LIFE FORCE IN A BOTTLE. Why Consume Tonic Alchemy? Over the past forty years ten’s of millions of Americans have become aware of the need for better, more natural nutrition. Everyone now realizes that good nutrition is central to health, well being and longevity. Americans can eat large amounts of conventional food and still be undernourished. Of course, we can shop at natural foods markets and purchase plenty of good nutritious, even organic foods, but that is difficult for many people to do all of the time. The U.S. government has recently released its new dietary recommendations urging consumers to consume up to 13 servings per day of vegetables and fruits. This long overdue recommendation affirms what many of us have known for a long time. Still, most Americans will not be able to achieve these standards. Even those of us who eat consciously often find it difficult to eat well all the time. The earth and seas provide incredible nutrition that is accessible and invaluable to our health, well being, aging process and longevity. Luckily, Tonic Alchemy™ can make a huge difference in our actual vegetable, fruit and overall phtytonutrient consumption. Tonic Alchemy™ contains superfoods – foods of extraordinary nutritive value – nutrient-dense greens, super-tonic herbs, tonic mushrooms, antioxidant-rich fruits and sea vegetables, vitamin-rich sprouts, probiotics and naturally fermented foods, all of which contribute to our deeper nutritional needs. Tonic Alchemy™ is a source of concentrated garden vegetables, with a focus on the cruciferous vegetables, the very ones we need to consume virtually every day to enhance our immune system. Tonic Alchemy™ is exactly the concentrated vegetable booster you need in order to achieve and to maintain glowing health. People often suffer from unexplained problems because of a lack of certain nutrients in their diet. Even if you think you are eating a healthy diet, it is quite possible you are being cheated – or just fooling yourself. These deficiencies are not the result of a lack of food quantity, or may not even be the result of eating “poorly.” It is quite possible to eat many “servings” of fruits and vegetables a day and still be coming up short in terms of some nutrients, trace elements and nutritional factors necessary for radiant health.  Nutritional Variety – the Thrival© Factor The body requires a wide range of nutrients and phytochemicals to thrive. We live in extraordinarily complex times. Our lives are complex and our needs are complex. The body is a system of millions of interconnecting functions happening at every moment in a harmonious way – if we are healthy. We know that if certain nutrients are missing from our diet, we are going to suffer from a deficiency. Different cells, different tissues and systems require specific biologically active molecules and chemicals in order to achieve optimum performance, including a wide range of minerals, vitamins, and plant phytochemicals. It is possible to “live” or “survive” without some of these substances, but just living or surviving is not the same thing as “thriving.” Thriving means living life to its fullest in a healthy, happy, flourishing, robust, satisfying way. Nutritional variety plays a very key role in thriving. In fact variety is the ultimate thrival© factor. We all know about the “minimum daily requirements” for nutrition. These are not about thriving. They are the “minimum” requirements to remain marginally healthy, to not slip into a deficiency disease state. Even “average daily requirements” are not about thriving. Thriving requires more and better. Not necessarily more in terms of any one nutrient, but more in terms of a variety of nutrients and phytochemicals and other life-promoting factors that the body can use for optimum living. And better in terms of the quality and completeness of those nutrients. The “minimum daily requirements” system is grossly oversimplified. Since the system was developed, scientists have discovered thousands of new chemicals in the human body that have profound effects on our health and wellbeing. There are too many nutrients that we really require to put on a food product label. The system is only marginally relevant.  The problems associated with consuming “variety,” however, are daunting for many people. If you want to get all these nutritional factors into your diet, you must first find all of them and make sure they’re all genuine, and they’re all organic, and they’re all from the best sources. Secondly, you’d have to obtain all of them – and that would obviously be time-consuming and expensive. Thirdly, you’d have to prepare them all and eat all day long in order to get them all in – every day! Thank goodness there’s an easier way! The solution lies in Tonic Alchemy™. We collect the most nutritious ingredients on earth from the best sources. We’ve created a delicious, 100% natural, easy to prepare, easy to consume blend of superfoods that ANYONE can EASILY get into their body EVERY DAY. The superfoods contain numerous substances that are not available in the everyday diet.

Our health and wellbeing are dependent upon what we put in our body. Our body must be revered as the miracle that it is. If we put premium quality nutrients into our body daily, our body will perform at a dramatically higher level. Tonic Alchemy™ is incredibly nutritious – it is the ultimate superfood mix ever created.

Tonic Alchemy™ 2.0 has over 20 new ingredients that Ron Teeguarden has decided he wants to consume every day. Organic Ingredients. Although Tonic Alchemy has ALWAYS be pure and chemical free, many of the ingredients were not certified organic. Now 71 of the superfoods, fruits, vegetables and herbs are certified organic. Almost all of the rest of the ingredients are wildcrafted (collected from Nature in the wild). 100% Vegan. The original Tonic Alchemy contained powdered pearls – the other 70 ingredients were plants. The pearl has been removed from Tonic Alchemy™ 2.0, which is now 100% vegan. This product is also largely raw. Only the herbs that cannot be consumed raw have been extracted and condensed. What’s in the New Tonic Alchemy 2.0? This new, significantly upgraded version of Tonic Alchemy™, which Ron Teeguarden is referring to as version “2.0,” features extraordinary ingredients from around the world. Because there are 91 ingredients in Tonic Alchemy™ 2.0, it is not possible to go into all of them fully in here (that would be a “book”). So let’s look at some of the major new ingredients and super-ingredients that are not so well known.  Superfoods Tonic Alchemy™ contains the most powerful superfoods in the world. Tonic Alchemy features several rare superfoods that can have profound health benefits. Ashitaba: Though not so well known yet in America, Ashitaba is recognized as Japan’s greatest superfood. This powerful super-nourishing and rejuvenating green plant promotes nerve growth factor production and thus supports neurological health into deep old age. The Okinawan people who grow Ashitaba are among the three longest lived peoples on earth. Hydrilla: This water plant is known by scientists to be the most nutrient dense food on earth. It is originally from the Russian wilderness. It supplies an abundance of vitamins and other factors, including B vitamins, including vitamin B12. This plant is virtually indestructible in nature, and that capacity to survive ANYTHING is representative of the radical potency of this little green superfood. Moringa: The small leaves of this tree from the Asian subcontinent is becoming recognized as one of the greatest superfoods on earth. Moringa Leaf provides amazing nutrition, rivalling Hydrilla as the most nutrient dense food plant on earth. It has 7 times the vitamin C of oranges. Gynostemma: This green plant that grows in tropical regions of Asia is a supreme superfood. Epidemiological studies have shown that the people who live where Gynostemma is grown and consumed on a daily basis are the longest lived people on earth (more octogenarians and more centenarians per capita than anywhere else). It contains over 100 saponins, similar to those found in ginseng, that improve adaptability, regulate immune functions and slow down aging in numerous ways, starting at the cellular level. Of course, Tonic Alchemy™2.0 also contains the Great Classic Superfoods: Grasses: Oat Grass, Barley Grass, Wheat Grass and Kamut Grass. Grasses are true superfoods. They are loaded with vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, chlorophyll, healthy fibers, and much more. They are provided in Tonic Alchemy™2.0 in two different ways: as grass juices (dried) and as whole grasses. Grass juice is about 40 times more concentrated that the raw grass, while the whole grass provides amazing fiber and enzymes plus an amazing range of phytoneutrients. Non-Grass Superfoods: Spirulina, Chlorella, Alfalfa Leaf, and Dunaliella Salina Algae. These superfoods are known to almost everyone who is into health. There is a difference in quality, however, depending upon sourcing and freshness. Tonic Alchemy™2.0 contains superior grades of all these superfoods. Tonic Herbs: Tonic Alchemy™2.0 contains 20 of the greatest vegan supertonic herbs from around the world. Tonic herbs are consumed throughout the world on a daily basis to promote radiant health. We have added 9 new major tonic herbs to the new blend and deleted one, pearl, that presented an issue to some people because it is not vegan. Tonic Alchemy™2.0 is 100% vegan.  A Few of the New Tonic Herbs Included in Tonic Alchemy™ 2.0  Russian Rhodiola rosea has been acknowledged to be one of the greatest adaptogenic herbs in the world. It is called “golden root” in Russia, where it has been used since prehistoric times as a panacea. It is extremely easy on the body, yet it is a highly potent energy tonic and immune modulator. Dragon Herbs has used Himalayan Rhodiola from the beginning in Tonic Alchemy. And we continue to use Himalayan Rhodiola sacra, known as “red root” in China and Tibet. We are using both in full dose capacities in this new Tonic Alchemy™2.0. We consider them to be different enough to be considered two different herbs, both with great power. Red Ginseng: Changbai Mountain Ginseng has been an ingredient in Tonic Alchemy™ since its first day, but we have received organic certification by the world’s most prestigious certification program, and that makes a difference. It is very, very difficult to grow ginseng organically. It takes from 6 to 8 years to grow a ginseng root. During that time, the tiny, vulnerable plant must survive Manchurian alpine conditions. The plant is so expensive that no farmer likes to risk losing the plant in its 4th or 6th year. Growing ginseng organically takes courage, faith and commitment. Ginseng also comes in various grades. We use the highest grade available, which on uses large 8 year old roots. You will not find 8 year old organically grown Changbai Mountain ginseng in any other superfood product. Wild Siberian Chaga™ is a slow growing woody mushroom that grows naturally on birch trees in Russian Siberia. It is collected wild, from remote, pristine forests in the arctic mountains of Siberia, the premier Di Tao source in the world for Chaga. All of the Chaga mushrooms used in Tonic Alchemy™2.0 are at least 20 years old at the time of collection – that is in comparison to most commercial Chaga which is grown artificially in Southeast Asia and is usually just four years old when collected. This Wild Siberian Chaga is rich in active polysaccharides, melanin, phenolic compounds and lanostane-type triterpenoids. It is a powerful antioxidant. The Chaga is extracted using ultra-modern technology to preserve the complete active constituent profile. It is one of the great broad spectrum tonic herbs known to mankind. It is now a major ingredient in Tonic Alchemy™2.0. Chaga modulates immune responses through secretion of Th1/Th2 cytokines (bioactive chemicals) in immune cells, and Chaga regulates antigen-specific antibody production. This modulatory effect is responsible for Chaga's "double-direction" adaptogenic effect on the immune response. This activity is very similar to the same activities long noted in Reishi mushroom (another classic ingredient in Tonic Alchemy™). Because of its double direction adaptogenic activity, Chaga is suitable to all healthy normal individuals seeking a world class tonic to support a wide range of life functions. Transcendent Nutrition Tonic Alchemy™ presents a means of going beyond “normal nutrition” by providing nutrients that most people simply cannot fit into their “normal diet.” Tonic Alchemy™ is loaded with the essential vitamins, amino acids, minerals and phytonutrients that we need on a daily basis to thrive in this modern world. But Tonic Alchemy™ does not just provide conventional nutrients – it transcends conventional nutrition. This blend of 91 superfoods contains literally thousands of phytochemicals, many of which are extremely rare and yet incredibly valuable to human health and wellbeing. Almost every vitamin, mineral, amino acid and co-factor so far discovered in whole natural foods has multiple roles to play in nurturing and protecting the human body and mind. Yet conventional nutrition in our modern society is very limited for many people due to lack of variety, lack of fresh living foods, and due to the adulteration and destruction of nutrients during food growing and processing. And, of course, many of the foods we find ourselves exposed to are in fact harmful and contribute to disease and degeneration. We all need to eat as well as possible to counterbalance the harsh and often-unnatural environmental forces and stress of the modern world. Tonic Alchemy™ is all about variety. Various forms of fresh water algae have earned a place in the superfood pantheon because of their incredible nutritional profiles and “nutrient density.” A number of seaweeds, especially the brown seaweeds, are included because of their extraordinary and safe detoxification and protective actions in humans and because of their rich nutrient profiles. Certain vegetables and sprouts have likewise been proven to be extraordinary sources of nutrients that promote glowing health. Many superfruits are included for their incredible antioxidant activities and for other reasons. Certain mushrooms are included for their potent immune modulating functions and other benefits, especially for the cardiovascular, neurologic and hepatic functions of the body. Tonic Alchemy™ also features adaptogenic herbs that contain substances that fortify our body in many ways and help us adapt to the harshness of this polluted, hazardous, stressful world. There are thousands of “herbs” in the world, but only those in an elite group are known as the “tonics,” or by the Asian term “superior herbs.” And these are not just the normal commercial grade tonic herbs found elsewhere – these are the premium tonic herbs in the world sourced from the most remote and pristine regions. They are the supertonic herbs. Living probiotic microbes are featured to help re-establish the intestinal microbial balance.   By consuming Tonic Alchemy™, a person is assured that they are consuming a full range of the world’s ultimate life-enhancing foods and tonic herbs. These nutrients help protect our body from toxins, ailments and even accidents. They enhance our immunity, cellular respiration and metabolism, illness control, tissue regeneration capacity, and longevity. Furthermore, they can play a huge role in our performance on every level of our life. Super nutrition can enhance intelligence, intuition, creativity, work performance, athletic performance, sexual performance – and even our personality and attitude toward life, work and family. There is nothing in life that is not influenced by our nutrition, and Tonic Alchemy™ provides amazing nutrients that can help every person to attain optimal personal achievement and well being.
