Yin Replenisher Drops   The Herbs in Yin Replenisher   Dendrobium is a very important and wonderful tonic herb. Dendrobium stems and pods help replenish Yin Essence (Yin Jing) and generate fluids.   Dendrobium is primarily used in China to replenish fluids. It is commonly used in Chinese herbalism as a Yin tonic which moistens the Stomach and Lungs and respiratory tissues. It may be used by healthy individuals to maintain and support healthy fluid balance in the body.   However, the truly great value of Dendrobium lies elsewhere. Taoist sages, who were the masters of longevity (and much more), have routinely used Dendrobium as a daily tonic for many centuries. Dendrobium (which is the stem and leaf of a number of varieties of Dendrobium orchid that are now cultivated for use as a tonic herb) is a Jing tonic herb. Dendrobium is especially useful in quickly and effectively replenishing spent adaptive energy.   Dendrobium has been traditionally used to replace spent Yin Jing of the Kidney. The Kidney is considered to be the whole body’s reservoir of Yin Jing, so replenishing the Yin of the Kidney replenishes the whole body.   In replenishing and increasing Jing, Dendrobium increases the generative force. Dendrobium is especially famous for relieving temporary fatigue that may result from sexual activity. For those who maintain a balanced sex life, Dendrobium is said to help build superb sexual vigor. Dendrobium, being a Kidney Yin tonic, increases the sexual fluids in men and women.   The Taoists say that Dendrobium fills the Kidney meridian up with new vitality. It nourishes the Yin of the Kidney and nourishes the saliva, which the Taoists call the “Precious Fluid.” It is a superb herb for athletes for the purpose of maintaining fluids during exercise or sports.    Ron Teeguarden's Taoist Master Sung Jin Park, was a great proponent of Dendrobium for anyone who lives an active life and who desires to remain youthful and beautiful. A great benefit of Dendrobium lies in its beauty-promoting quality. Dendrobium helps keep the skin moist and constant use helps generate beautiful skin. When combined in a person’s program with other skin nourishing and cleansing herbs like Goji and White Peony, a person’s skin will become smooth, radiant, supple and clear.    Rehmannia is a Kidney tonic. Raw Rehmannia has a cold, moistening action. Goji is a major Yin tonic that tonifies the Kidneys and benefits the skin and eyes. Ligustrum is a tonic to the Kidney and Liver and Anemarrhena is a Yin tonic that counteracts false fire.*   Traditional Function: Nourishes and replenishes Yin Jing and body fluids*   Who can use it? Anyone who requires Yin replenishment   Concentration: 8:1    Specifications: 2 fl. oz.   Ingredients: Dendrobium stem, Raw Rehmannia root, Goji berries, Ligustrum lucidum fruit, Chinese White Peony root,Anemarrhena rhizome.   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. If you don’t take the herbs, they won’t work.”  

Desert Cistanche Drops Cistanche, the King of Desert Herbs Desert Cistanche Drops is a very potent Yang tonic preparation made from one of the world’s truly elite tonic herbs, Desert Cistanche. It has been used for centuries by men to enhance male sexual function and power, and many women consume it as well. Desert Cistanche Drops is made with large wild Cistanche (Rou Cong Rong in Chinese) from the desert of Western Mongolia and Inner Mongolia as it rises westward toward the Heaven Mountains of Central Asia. Genghis Khan consumed Desert Cistanche every day. This unrivaled tincture is rich and pleasant to the palette. Traditionally in Chinese health philosophy, a range of functions including the sexual, renal, structural (skeletal), neurological, marrow-supporting and endocrine functions, and their related tissues, are known collectively as the “Kidney.” Desert Cistanche is a superior “Kidney tonic herb” that may be used by men or women, though it is most widely used by men to promote sexual power and virility. It is famously known as the “Stalk Enlarger.” It has gained the traditional reputation of strengthening male erections, intensifying orgasms in both men and women, and for enlarging the penis. Cistanche is also considered to be an excellent mood supporting herb. (No scientific-consensus substantiation is available yet for any of these traditional “benefits.” Cistanche is NOT an E D drug, and is not used to treat, cure or prevent any disease. It is a tonic herb, a kind of superfood that promotes optimal functioning of normal bodily functions.) Cistanche is famous for being simultaneously powerful and gentle. It is both Yang and Yin. Its actions are profound and unmistakable, but its actions as a Yang tonic are said to be “calm and smooth,” meaning that it is not sudden or harsh. Research on Desert Cistanche A set of constituents known as PhGs (phenylethanoid glycosides) are the primary constituents of Cistanche for tonifying Kidney functions. These Cistanche glycosides are quite similar to those of Rehmannia, another well-known Kidney tonic herb. Rehmannia is considered to be a Yin Kidney tonic. In fact, three of the primary glycosides found in Cistanche are also found in Rehmannia, along with Rehmannia’s primary glycoside, catalpol. Rehmannia and Cistanche are both rich in sterols such as sitosterol. Thus, it seems that the “gentle” nature of Cistanche, generally considered a very potent Yang tonic, is due to having constituents that also nourish Yin. Recently, there has been increasing scientific attention on Cistanche for its remarkable anti-aging, antioxidant and neuroprotective bioactivities. Pharmacological studies show that saponins called cistanocides, related to the ginsenosides of Ginseng and the astragalosides of Astragalus, are major active components of Cistanche. These cistanocides contribute to an energy tonifying, adaptogenic range of actions. Cistanche long ago earned the honorable title of “Ginseng of the Desert.” Cistanche also contains a rich array of volatile oils, iridoids, lignans, alditols, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides that contribute to its many tonic functions. Galactitol and the oligosaccharides moisten and nourish the colon and support normal healthy bowel functions. This is one of the primary functions of Desert Cistanche. Cistanche polysaccharides and cistanocides are responsible for improving body immunity. The Rich History of Cistanche Shennong first described Cistanche 2,500 years ago Shennong, one of the founders of Chinese culture and the author of the world’s first herbal text, had this to say about Cistanche: “Cistanche has a salty taste. It mainly treats the five taxations and seven damages, supplements the center, eliminates cold and heat and pain in the penis, nourishes the five viscera, strengthens Yin, and boosts Jing and Qi. In females, it makes pregnancy possible and treats concretions and conglomerations. Protracted taking can make the body light.” In fact, Cistanche is not really salty though it grows in alkaline soil; it is actually sweet and rich-tasting. It is not bitter, salty or pungent. To an herbalist’s palette it is quite delicious. Cistanche has been used in traditional formulations as a tonic to restore and support Kidney functions and to tonify Jing, and thus to help restore and maintain youth and to prevent hasty degeneration with aging. Shennong is one of the greatest herbal geniuses in the history of mankind. He developed the principle of three levels of health practice and of herbs, and virtually single-handedly launched Chinese herbalism. He described 360 herbs in his great herbal text, Shennong’s Pharmacopeia Asian sex manuals always recommend Desert Cistanche as a long term tonic to build primal power and enhance endowment Numerous classical Asian manuals on both herbalism and sexuality describe Cistanche in much detail. For instance, it was mentioned no less than one hundred times in The Essence of Medical Prescriptions (984 A.D.) in the sections on men’s health, sex, Yang tonics and physical empowerment. This is one of the most honored medical texts for Oriental medical practitioners still in existence. One of the sections focused entirely on the bedroom arts, and Cistanche was the primary herb used in numerous formulations for men. It was referred to routinely as the “stalk enlarger,” in reference to the “jade stalk” or penis. The herb remains extremely popular in Asia. Products featuring Cistanche are found in all herb shops. Cistanche has a colorful reputation in China, since everyone knows what it does. Desert Cistanche Drops is made from large three-to-four year old Cistanche stalks collected in the wild Inner Mongolian desert. This product is NOT made with commercial grade Cistanche. It is made with grade A+ wild Cistanche stalks. The infamous Genghis Khan, who fathered literally hundreds of children in his lifetime and who has left the largest substantiated genetic trail of any single man in human history, consumed Desert Cistanche every day as a tonic. His Y-chromosome is today found in an estimated 16 million of his male–line progeny in a vast swath of Asia from Manchuria to Central Asia, and more recently throughout the world. That’s one of every 200 males on earth today. Cistanche grows wild in the regions that were first controlled by Genghis Khan (Inner Mongolia and Heaven Mountain). Wild Cistanche is collected in arid regions that are untouched by civilization. More Research on Desert Cistanche Cistanche may benefit learning and memory A study entitled “Cistanche enhances learning and memory by inducing nerve growth factor” (published in The Journal Behavioral Brain Research, Jan 20, 2011) reports that Desert Cistanche extract increased nerve growth factor (NGF) induction in animal cells. NGF and NGF–like molecules have potent biological activities such as promoting neurite outgrowth, protecting neurons (preventing neuronal death), supporting synapse formation, and enhancing learning and memory functions. Cistanche extract significantly enhanced learning and memory in mice, and the memory improvement function was determined to be a result of up-regulation of the nerve growth factor. NGF has also been demonstrated to have an association with the feelings of romantic love through a pathway associated with dopamine. Cistanche may have cardio-protective and respiratory benefits In a study entitled “Herba Cistanche extract enhances mitochondrial glutathione status and respiration in rat hearts” (published in Pharmaceutical Biology, May 2010), Cistanche has been shown to enhance mitochondrial ATP generation. ATP is the “energy-rich molecule” at the root of all living vitality. Treatment with an alcohol extract of Cistanche enhanced mitochondrial glutathione status and increased mitochondrial membrane potential. Glutathione is one of the three primary innate antioxidants produced by humans to fight off free radicals. In addition, an increase in respiration was observed in mitochondria from Cistanche-treated rat hearts. The enhancement of mitochondrial glutathione status and functional ability may be related to cardioprotection afforded by Cistanche. (Desert Cistanche Drops is both an alcohol extract and a water extract so that all constituents are extracted.) This is the analytical laboratory at the facility Dragon Herbs uses to produce Desert Cistanche Drops and most of our other “Drops.” The equipment is state of the art. More research on the actions of Cistanche PhGs In the review section of an article in the Journal of Food Analysis, it is stated that the major active components of Cistanche deserticola, PhGs, have been reported to have cardioactive, hepatocyte protective, antioxidant, antibacterial, and neuroprotective activities.  Here are some of the established functions of the main PhGs in Cistanche deserticola (Desert Cistanche) mentioned in the review:   Cistanoside A exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect. Cistanoside C possesses DNA-repair effects. 2’-acetylacteoside exhibits antioxidant, DNA-repair and neuroprotective effects. Isoacteoside possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and vaso-relaxant activities. Acteoside exhibits both estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects, probably acting as a regulator. Acteoside also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Isocistanoside C has antioxidant activity. Echinacoside exhibits anti-inflammatory effect and enhances wound healing. Tubuloside B has a neuroprotective effect. Cistanche deserticola is not endangered but it is a “monitored botanical,” meaning that its collection and exportation in and out of China or region of growth as a raw material is strictly limited and governed by International CITES regulations. Although Cistanche is very popular in China and other Asian countries, and the superior grade Cistanche is coveted in the more affluent Chinese market, it is NOT over-collection that has caused any shortages of the herb. Cistanche is a parasitic herb that grows on another plant, a desert shrub called Saxaul. The stems and branches of Saxaul are heavily relied upon by natives of the desert as a superior fuel wood. As a result, Saxaul has been over-collected, restricting Cistanche availability. The government is trying to provide alternative forms of fuel to the natives of the regions where it grows to mitigate use of Saxaul and thus to allow the Cistanche population to expand again. Dragon Herbs complies with all CITES regulations and is committed to sustainable practices. Furthermore, Dragon Herbs limits the production of Desert Cistanche Drops to a relatively small quantity (far below potential demand), to protect sustainability of this great natural herb. Production and potency For Desert Cistanche, alcohol extraction is considered to be superior to simple water extraction, although both alcohol and water extraction have been traditionally practiced. Desert Cistanche Drops is fully extracted with BOTH alcohol and water to maximize extraction of ALL active constituents. The extract is concentrated to optimal potency in a GMP certified facility, meeting Ron Teeguarden’s strictest standards of excellence. Longan, translated literally as “Dragon Eye” fruit, is a wonderfully delicious, fleshy fruit that is extremely popular in China as a snack. Although in Asia it is consumed fresh in the fall, this unique tasting sweet fruit is usually dried and consumed throughout the year much like raisins or dried apricots. But unlike most other dried fruits, Longan is a major tonic herb. It is used by the Chinese as a blood tonic (an herb that builds blood), as an energy tonic to increase vitality, to nurture the heart, and to enhance the beauty of the skin.  A great blood tonic. Longan is one of the premier blood tonics of Chinese tonic herbalism, it is often combined with other blood tonics such as Dang Gui and Peony to make blood building teas and formulations. Dragon Eye Fruit has a very high content of iron – about 20 times that of grapes and 15 times that of spinach. A great Qi tonic for building up your everyday energy. Consumed regularly, Longan is more than just a temporary energy booster. It is an excellent Qi tonic that increases long-term vitality. Since it is both a blood tonic and a Qi tonic, it can be used to relieve insomnia, forgetfulness and anxiety which are the results of blood and Qi deficiency, according to Chinese philosophy. Promotes calmness. Longan promotes calmness, especially when combined with Shen tonics such as Reishi. It has been found to promote a deep, refreshing sleep. If you have difficulty sleeping, you may enjoy using a classic tonic formulation known as “Ginseng and Longan Combination” that is famous for helping promote a good night’s sleep. A fantastic beauty herb and sex tonic. Longan adds luster and beauty to the skin. It is believed among the Chinese people that Longan is not only great for the skin, but is also a fantastic sex tonic. For that reason, Longan is considered a MUST for women who wish to be both beautiful and sensual – it has a 2000 year reputation as a special love tonic. Longan nurtures the heart. According to traditional Chinese herbal theory, Longan directly nourishes the heart, promoting heart health.   Usage: Logan is a great every day snack. Longan’s iron content makes it an excellent supplement to a vegetarian or low-animal-protein diet. Give it as a healthy snack in your kid’s lunch.  Contents: 1 pound bag dried longan berries

Changbai Mountain Ant Drops Changbai Mountain Ant Drops is a full-potency hydro-ethanolic extraction of one of the most powerful tonic substances known. This is a very high potency Mountain Ant extract. It is made with clean, farmed Polyrhachis Ant from Changbai Mountain in remote northeastern China (Manchuria). Chinese Mountain Ant Polyrhachis Ant is one of the adaptogenic superstars of Chinese tonic herbalism. Classically considered one of the “forever young foods” incorporated into daily diets, Polyrhachis Ant is widely consumed in Asia as a dietary supplement for its many known benefits. This Mountain Ant is famous for supporting many important life functions and for its replenishing tonic properties of restoring Qi, increasing vitality and nourishing the blood. Polyrhachis Ant is also one of the few truly powerful adaptogenic substances of the earth, helping the body to naturally adapt to change and common stress as efficiently as possible. Polyrhachis Ant is one of the few ‘herbs’ that gives quick Qi to the brain and body, while simultaneously restoring its original source, the Kidney Yin, creating its supertonic reputation for both Qi and Jing. Polyrhachis Ant regulates Yin and Yang throughout the body and supports the regulatory functions of the immune system. The thymus gland is an important organ of the immune system and stimulates the production and replication of lymphocytes. Recent research demonstrates that Polyrhachis Ant can support the functions of the thymus gland.  Polyrhachis Ant is a source of zinc; it has the highest known content among all living organisms. Being a critical element in healthy human sexual function, zinc is known as the ‘harmonizing’ element in Japan, for its support of ‘harmonious relations’ between couples. Studies have shown that regular consumption of Polyrhachis Ant provides useable zinc. While supporting the balance and delivery of hormones within the body, Ant is NOT itself a source of hormones and can be safely consumed by both men and women, young and old.  Of over 400 known species of ants that have been studied in China alone, Polyrhachis vicina is the only species of Ant approved by the China Ministry of Public Health as a diet supplement. Polyrhachis vicina Ant contains more than 8 kinds of amino acids, crucial to the upkeep of a robust, resilient body. Polyrhachis Ant contains essential vitamins B1, B2, B12, D and E.  As much as 67% ofPolyrhachis vicina Ant’s dry weight is protein, and Polyrhachis Ant contains more than 20 trace elements such as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and selenium, as well as many essential enzymes. Polyrhachis Ant contains bioavailable ATP, providing energy directly and rapidly to the human body through intracellular transfer, and superoxide dismutase (SOD), a potent anti-oxidant enzyme. Polyrhachis Ant has shown to support liver functions. Ant has also been shown to support important normal immune functions that help maintain health. As a renowned Jing Yin tonic, Polyrhachis Ant strengthens the entire Kidney and adrenal system, supporting the musculoskeletal system, while also supporting sexual function. In Asia, Mountain Ant is considered an aphrodisiac (“Ginseng is the king of herbs, but Mountain Ant is the herb of kings”). Ant supports the nervous system, supports digestive functions and supports the natural moment-to-moment detoxifying functions throughout the body.  Polyrhachis Ant is known to increase the production of DNA and RNA within the cell itself. A unique set of aldehyde compounds found in Polyrhachis Ant is believed to contribute to the Ant’s unparalleled physical strength, known to be able to lift up to 100 times their own weight.  This aldehyde provides the great tonic action for the human body.* Traditional Function: Qi tonic, adaptogen* Who can use it?  Anybody seeking a powerful adaptogen. Ant tonics are popular as pre-workout elixirs. Ant is an ideal tonic for athletes. Concentration: 8:1 Specifications: 2 .fl. oz. Ingredients: Changbai Mountain Polyrhachis Ant, Red Jilin Ginseng root, Goji berries, Schizandra fruit.

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.  

Crystal Energy is the key that unlocks the potential of water as the medium for nutrient replenishment and waste removal at the cellular level. In a state of dehydration, body cells cannot assimilate nutrients and remove waste. Dehydration also occurs as a side effect of caffeine. Caffeine effects include anxiety, dizziness, headaches, sleep disorders, and many common ailments. Crystal Energy also helps fight the negative effects of alcohol, stress, and free radicals as part of aging. Ever taken a shower? Or lived in an old house? Or used an aluminum pot? Had a "silver" filling? You probably have heavy metals in your body and it's dangerous. Are you tired, depressed, achy? Are you constantly dehydrated or hungry? You may be suffer from classic toxic overload. That's why Dr. Patrick Flanagan developed Crystal Energy, a patented form of minerals that makes water wetter. Humans need to remove toxins to survive. It is the key to long life and anti-aging. However, due to mass food production, mineral deficient soil, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, over-processing of foods, chemical preservatives, and drinking over-chlorinated and over-fluoridated water, people do not detoxify enough daily. Body cells become damaged, hydration levels decrease and cells age. In summary, Crystal Energy challenges the symptoms of dehydration and minimizes the process of aging. Crystal Energy is a dietary supplement that is considered a food grade supplement rich in silica minerals by the FDA. Mineral additives like Crystal Energy help defy the aging process. It is safe, having been tested and shown to have no known side effects. Find out why Crystal Energy makes Wetter Water and how it can help you. Additional information on Crystal Energy® by its creator Dr. Patrick Flanagan:Crystal Energy drops contain silica-based nano-spheres that average 2-3 nanometers in diameter. They have an electric charge (zeta potential) of -140 mv (millivolts).  That may not seem like much, but in physics charge intensity is based on charge for a given radius of curvature. The magnitude of the field is inversely proportional to the radius of curvature.  At 3 nm diameter spheres, the magnitude of the electric fields around these particles is equivalent to 12 million volts per meter.One drop of Crystal Energy contains trillions of these particles. When added to one ounce of water, the electric charge density breaks the water clusters into smaller clusters so completely that the water has the same surface tension as boiling water. In addition, the equally charged particles distribute themselves in such a way that they are within 100 nanometers of each other. Water molecules are polar and align themselves with the nano-spheres. This process is called 'epitaxy' where crystals of one material grow on the highly charged substrate of another material, duplicating the substrate structure.When we add Crystal Energy to our drinking water, we increase the rate of movement of water and nutrients across cell membranes by as much as 2.54 times.In fluid dynamics, if we increase the rate of flow of water by two times, the water can carry 64 times as much material. If the speed doubles again it increases another 64 times. That is why floods and Tsunamis are so destructive.Even at cellular distances, increasing the flow of water by 2.5 times means we can transport over 100X as much nutrients into the cells and toxins out of the body for elimination.Apply this to the lymphatic system and we have the same phenomena.So, I add Crystal Energy to everything I drink. It is the first and most important nutrient I use. I take one liter of pure water and add 2 cc of Crystal Energy to it. I do this with everything. We recommend 1 drop per ounce of fluid, but I usually add at least 5 drops for every ounce.Ingredients:Alkaline Flanagan Microcluster Silica Proprietary Blend, Silica, Potassium Carbonate, Magnesium Carbonate, and Oleic Acid ANTIOXIDANTS Silica Hydride with Microcluster® technology, the active ingredient in MegaH® and MegaHydrate®, has been shown in numerous published scientific studies as an antioxidant compound. The negatively-charged hydrogen ions react with free radicals to neutralize the harmful effects of the radicals. These free radicals, more correctly called reactive oxygen species (ROS), if not combated, accumulate in the body and create an environment called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress has been scientifically proven to be either a direct cause or closely related to the inception of cancer, eye disorders, blood and vascular diseases, heart problems and organ failure. The problem with some antioxidants lies in the nature of chemical reactions in that the substance that reacts to neutralize the free radical becomes a radical, sometimes toxic to the cell and the cells around it. Phi Sciences' published research, conducted in-house as well as by prestigious universities, shows that the unique formulation and chemistry of Silica Hydride ensures sure that no toxic byproduct is created. Specifically, Silica Hydride has been tested for effectiveness against the most harmful, as well as abundant, ROS including, but not limited to, singlet oxygen, superoxide, and hydroxyl radicals. In all the tests, Silica Hydride not only eliminated the ROS by neutralizing them, but did not become a radical itself and did not create any toxic environment. The byproduct of most of the reactions between Silica Hydride and a radical is water. Comparing the effectiveness of Silica Hydride on ROS to other natural, and even synthetic, antioxidant compounds clearly shows that Silica Hydride is 800% more effective than either Green Tea or Grape Seed Extracts. The FDA and USDA, along with physicians, clinicians, and nutritionists, are recommending that diets contain more antioxidants. Research to date shows that Silica Hydride, the active ingredient in the Phi Sciences products MegaH™ and MegaHydrate™, are more powerful than any other known antioxidants Frequently Asked Questions   WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MegaH, MegaHydrate AND Crystal Energy? The basis of all three products, MegaH, MegaHydrate, and Crystal Energy, is Dr. Flanagan's patented silica Microclusters® which provide numerous features such as increased hydration, increased zeta potential of cells to clean the blood, alkalizing of blood, and detoxification. The benefits of silica Microclusters® are increased energy, an enhanced immune system, pain relief, and a longer, healthier life. After developing the silica Microclusters®, Dr. Flanagan found out a way to capture active hydrogen (or negatively ionized hydrogen) inside the silica. This is called silica hydride. Silica hydride provides the benefits of the plain silica Microclusters® PLUS active hydrogen. Due to the active hydrogen, silica hydride is now the most powerful antioxidant known. The benefits of powerful antioxidants are substantial. MegaH and MegaHydrate both have silica hydride, but MegaHydrate has 50% more silica Microclusters® than MegaH. This means that MegaHydrate provides more hydration capacity than MegaH due to the increase of silica Microclusters® used in it. However in terms of silica hydride, MegaH and MegaHydrate HAVE THE SAME ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY per capsule. That means that both MegaH and MegaHydrate have the same amount of active hydrogen, but MegaHydrate is a more powerful hydrator. As you can see from the chart below, all three products alkalize the body, but Crystal Energy assures that all the water you treat with it will alkalize your body (or move more acid if that is your body's requirement). When taking MegaH or MegaHydrate, it only balances the pH of the water around the time you take the capsules. Plus if you have children, pets, or others you want to get the incredible health benefits of the silica Microclusters® without having to take a capsule, Crystal Energy is a very convenient way to do that. The ideal program is to take either MegaH or MegaHydrate daily AND add Crystal Energy to all your drinking water. Not only will the water taste great from Crystal Energy, but it will hydrate you to maximum benefit and get the antioxidant power of MegaH or MegaHydrate.   Produced by Phi Sciences and Dr. Flanagan MegaH previously MegaHydrin (capsule) MegaHydrate (capsule) Crystal Energy (fluid) silica Microclusters® YES YES 50% more than MegaH YES Silica Hydride (or Microclusters® with Negatively-Ionized Hydrogen) YES YES NO Most Powerful Antioxidant YES YES NO Increase ATP Production YES YES NO Increases Hydration YES YES best option YES best option Reduce Pain & Inflammation YES YES NO Anti-Aging Properties YES YES YES Increase Zeta Potential of Human Cells YES YES YES Neutralizes Harmful Toxins like Fluoride, Chlorine, etc. YES AND Converts Chromium 6 to safer Chromium 3 YES AND Converts Chromium 6 to safer Chromium 3 YES Increase Absorption of other Supplements YES YES YES best option Lowers surface tension of water you drink YES YES YES best option Balance pH or Alkalize the body YES YES YES best option Recommended Dosage with 8 oz of Water Two to Four Capsules a Day Two to Four Capsules a Day 8 drops every 8 oz of water   WHAT IS THE FLANAGAN SILICA MICROCLUSTER® ? The Flanagan silica Microcluster® is a patented mineral that is the 241st form of silica discovered. Only a few angstroms wide (one ten billionth of a meter), the silica is in the shape of many small spheres clustered together. The main benefits of the silica Microcluster® is that it makes wetter water, allowing greater detoxification and nutrient absorption. The silica Microcluster® also balances pH, makes water taste fresher and ultimately increases hydration for better skin, more energy and a sharper mind. This form of silica Microcluster® is special and unique because if its incredibly tiny size that allows the spherical configuration to expand and contract based on the pH of the surrounding fluid. The spheres capture toxins and allow the body to flush them safely. Due to poisoning of the environment, air, food and water, detoxification is more important than ever before in recorded human history. WHAT IS AN ANTIOXIDANT? Antioxidants defend human body cells by neutralizing the damaging effects of free radicals, a byproduct of cell metabolism. Free radicals form when oxygen is metabolized, or burned, by the body. Free radicals disrupt the structure of other molecules, causing cellular damage. This cell damage is believed to contribute to aging and various health problems. Some well-known antioxidants include compounds normally present in food such as Vitamin E, beta-carotene, the carotenoids, Vitamin C, zinc, and selenium. Antioxidants retard oxidation and are sometimes added to meat and poultry products to prevent or slow oxidative rancidity of fats that cause browning. WHAT DO ANTIOXIDANTS DO? Antioxidants prevent free radical damage to critical DNA in every cell of the human body. "By controlling free radicals, antioxidants can make the difference between life and death, as well as influence how fast and how well we age." Their role in the human body is nothing less than miraculous," says Lester Packer, Ph.D., in The Antioxidant Miracle. Dr. Packer is regarded as the world's foremost antioxidant research scientist. He is Director of Packer Lab at the University of California at Berkeley, and a senior scientist at the prestigious Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. WHY ARE ANTIOXIDANTS IMPORTANT? Antioxidants are key contributor to healthy and longevity. In his book, The Super Anti-Oxidants, James Balch, M.D., writes "The antioxidant network: Keeps your body youthful; Bolsters your natural defenses against cancer; Prevents and even reverses heart disease; Sharpens your mental edge... Long term use of antioxidants is recommended." This is not a "quick fix" but part of a lifestyle change: a commitment with a perseverant attitude toward safeguarding and enhancing your" system." James Balch, M.D., is co-author of more than four books and has sold over three million copies of the popular "Prescription for Nutritional Healing." WHERE DO ANTIOXIDANTS COME FROM? The body normally gets antioxidants from raw foods and pure water sources. Processed foods, excess sugar or alcohol, pollution, stress, pesticides, and other factors in daily life help to create more free radicals than the body can handle and reduce the total available amount of antioxidants. HOW DO MegaH AND MegaHydrate DIFFER FROM OTHER ANITOXIDANTS? MegaH is the most powerful antioxidants known. MegaH is a dietary supplement made exclusively by Phi Sciences. Its main active ingredient, Silica Hydride, contains ionized hydrogen. Negatively-charged ionized hydrogen contains an extra electron that is microencapsulated using a nanotechnology called Microclusters®. MegaHydrate contains the same amount of Silica Hydride as MegaH plus 50% more Microclusters® and has the same antioxidant capacity as MegaH. Comparing the effectiveness of the Silica Hydride in MegaH on free radicals versus other natural, and even synthetic, antioxidant compounds clearly shows that Silica Hydride is 800% more effective than other known products or foods. Published research conducted at prestigious universities validates that the unique formulation and chemistry of Silica Hydride Microclusters® in MegaH and MegaHydrate are safe and contain no toxic byproducts. WHY IS THE MegaH IONIZED HYDRODGEN AND SILICA HYDRIDE MORE EFFECTIVE AND SAFER THAN ALL OTHER ANTIOXIDANTS? Scientific studies validate that ionized hydrogen delivered into the bloodstream is the most powerful free radical scavenger available. The problem with most antioxidants (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, etc.) is becoming free radicals themselves after neutralizing other free radicals. Silica Hydride has been tested for effectiveness against the most harmful and abundant free radicals including, but not limited to, singlet oxygen, super-oxide, and hydroxyl radicals. In all of the tests, Silica Hydride not only eliminated the free radicals by neutralizing them, but did not become a radical itself, and did not create a toxic environment. The byproduct of most of reactions between Silica Hydride and a free radical is Hydrogen gas and water. Silica Hydride is the only antioxidant that does not become a free radical itself after neutralizing other free radicals. WHAT IS PHI SCIENCES? Phi Sciences, founded by Dr. Patrick Flanagan, includes a group of doctors, scientists, and entrepreneurs, whose vision is to enhance the quality of human life through natural means. Phi Sciences mission is to improve human health through innovative adoption of valid breakthroughs in science and socially responsible business practices. WHO IS DR. PATRICK FLANAGAN? Dr. Flanagan is credited with over 300 inventions and was named 1997 Scientist of the Year by the International Association for New Science. He also holds a patent pending on his process of manufacturing a delivery system for ionized hydrogen or H- in living systems and industrial processes. Dr. Flanagan holds advanced degrees in nanotechnology, chemistry, bio-sciences, and medicine. He currently lives in Northern California with his wife Stephanie.   The first active hydrogen supplement (H - ), a rich source of electrons. Each capsule contains silica hydride 300 mg, yielding approximately 40 mg (H - ) ions. The industry's first active hydrogen supplement (H-), a rich source of electrons. A breakthrough compound, silica hydride, created by a high-tech process that uses silica to stabilize hydrogen electrons. The result: negatively charged hydrogen or H-. Electrons from H- are a source of energy to generate the bodys staggering amounts of ATP (energy molecule). MEGAHYDRIN doubles cellular ATP and NADH in vitro. Theorized to be the most potent antioxidant, shown to neutralize toxic hydroxyl and superoxide free radicals in vitro. The only antioxidant that does not generate the free radical cascade. (Unlike other antioxidants, MegaHydrin does not become a free radical when it donates an electron.) Silica hydride supplements may decrease lactic acid levels after exercise. Increases cellular hydration; may decrease waters surface tension, enabling more water, and the nutrients dissolved in water, to enter cells and become available for use by the body.

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. If you don’t take the herbs, they won’t work.”

Deer Antler Drops   Deer Antler is considered to be one of the "big three" ultimate “herbs” (dietary supplements) of China - Ginseng, Reishi Mushroom and Deer Antler. All three are tonic herbs that have been used since pre-historic times to prolong life, improve energy, to protect the body and to promote wisdom. They are not used to treat any kind of ailment, but to support normal healthy life functions so as to promote wellbeing and longevity. Deer Antler is a Yang Jing herb, but it also tonifies Yin Jing, Qi, Blood and Shen. It therefore tonifies all three Treasures.    Deer Antler contains mucopolysaccharides that promote the regeneration the antler tissue in the deer. This same substance supports regeneration of tissue to those who consume it.   Deer Antler extract is considered to be the most powerful Yang tonic dietary supplement and is usually the main herb in any formula in which it is included. Deer Antler is used by athletes to support muscular strength. Deer Antler extract consumed as a dietary supplement supports the human in vivo production of IGF-1, a vital substance closely related to human growth hormone that regulates metabolism and hormone functions.    Deer Antler extract is used to support the skeletal structure, especially the back and knees. Deer Antler helps support cartilage and joint function.   As a dietary supplement that supports neurological functions, Deer Antler extract is also widely used to support mental power.     Deer antler has also been demonstrated to support cardiovascular function.    Deer Antler extract contains hyaluronic acid, a natural substance, also produced in the human body, that maintains elasticity of the skin and connective tissue.    Deer Antler is also well known as a sexual tonic for both men and women. Deer Antler is suitable to both men and women, though men will generally consume Deer Antler in larger quantities. It is a Yang tonic that helps restore sexual vigor and performance for decreased sexual function associated with aging.   Why Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops is Unique   Dragon Herbs Deer Antler is a unique product in the U.S. market. There are dozens of other “deer velvet” products available, but Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops is the ONLY product made ENTIRELY from Deer Antler tips. What does that mean? And what does that mean for you?   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 is just like the fresh leaves at the tip of a growing plant. 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. The tip of the antler is of course more expensive than the lower parts of the antler, because those deep into the trade know that this is the most valuable part. This has been true for a thousand years. However, since the tip contains most of the active constituents of the entire antler, it is in fact a fabulous value. It may cost three times as much, but it is at least 10 times as potent. Again, Dragon Herbs ONLY uses tips (the soft last inch of the deer antler) to make its Deer Antler products, including Deer Antler Drops. We never use the "middles" or "bottoms" of the antler since these parts are hardened, dry and lack the chemical components that make Deer Antler biologically active in humans.    Unfortunately for consumers, other companies are now putting the word “tips” on their description of deer antler. They are doing this in response to Dragon Herbs educating the public about the differences in deer antler products. However, they show no evidence of actually using tips.     A deer antler, as sold in a Chinese herb shop, is divided into three divisions, tips, middles and bottoms.  That part growing closest to the end, usually the last inch of each branch of the antler, is called the tip.  The segment from that beginning of the tip to the fork of the antler is called the middle and the main trunk of the antler is called the bottom. All three segments of the deer antler are used in Chinese tonic herbalism. The bottoms, because they are the largest segment, are most commonly available and most widely used in commercial products. The middles and tips are generally only available in herb shops, except in rare products that feature these segments.    A Note about the Deer   Dragon Herbs deer are farmed in 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 “crop,” deer are highly protected in all Asian countries. They thrive under the conditions established. The antler is cut off the live deer when the antler has developed either two or three branches, yet remains relatively soft (depending on the part of the antler) and covered by “velvet,” usually in the month of June in China.   The Dragon Herbs team has visited the deer farm of our supplier in a beautiful valley on the Western slope of Changbai Mountain, a volcanic region in Manchuria, on many occasions and can testify that the deer are in fantastic health and are well cared-for. The deer are fed their favorite natural diet, including mulberry leaves, their favorite food. The deer are housed in clean  open sheds with corrals where they have 24/7 opportunity to move about and eat. They are allowed to run freely in the hills associated with the farm during the day, and at night return to the protected housing where they are kept safe from predators (wolves and large cats).    The deer used by Dragon Herbs are NOT killed to harvest their antlers. The antlers are humanely and painlessly collected from male deer in the early summer – when the antler is about six weeks old and still covered in a coat of “velvet” – females do not produce antler, except for elk, which Dragon Herbs does not use. After this harvesting, the deer then grow new antlers as the season progresses and this second set of antler is not harvested. Because the antlers that do grow into the fall are smaller, the male deer tend to fight considerably less. The life expectancy of the male deer from whom the antler are collected is significantly longer than that of wild deer, who often die as a result of excessive male-with-male libido-driven fighting and from starvation. Far more of the male deer mate as a result of this process, which makes them very happy indeed. Deer are highly valued in the Chinese culture and are respected and loved by their care givers. Deer are considered in Asia to be a “higher order” animal.   Quality - Different Species, Different Results   Selecting high quality deer antler is an art. There are many sources, grades, cuts and qualities --- and there are counterfeits. The antler plays a major part in male sexual role of the male deer. Larger antlers are produced by deer that are more sexual and this deer antler is more potent. However, size alone will tell you only a little about the quality of a selection of deer antler. Dragon Herbs has used the same established source of deer antler tips for many years.   Deer Antler can have a number of origins. Deer Antler entering the American market may originate in China, Russia, Mongolia, Alaska or New Zealand. All of these places have robust Deer Antler businesses. They all produce excellent deer; however, the quality will differ depending on the processing and the variety of deer.    Sika Deer is considered to be the best deer antler, but it is rare. These are small spotted deer that are natural to northeastern Asia. This kind of deer has been absolutely revered in Asia for its deer antler since ancient times. Over hunting reduced the supply to nearly zero, but they are now humanely farmed in northeastern China and their antler is again available in limited quantities. This deer is also known in China as the “spotted deer” and as the “flower deer,” since their white spots are actually shaped like a flower. You will see the Sika deer alongside Shou Lao, the God of Longevity, in old Chinese paintings, and also alongside Magu, the Goddess of Youth and Beauty. The symbolism is obvious. The Sika is a small deer and its antlers are likewise small. But small is not the issue, potency is. These deer are extremely well cared-for. This is the most valuable antler in the world.   Previously, Dragon Herbs only used Sika Deer Antler in its private reserve productions, but now it is available to everyone, so long as it is available each year.    And remember, the tips are by far the most precious and most expensive part of the deer antler. Due to our on-the-ground connections in Asia, we can provide this premium quality Deer Antler at the same price, or lower, than inferior products.   And remember, these deer are protected and live an astounding life. These deer live longer than fully wild deer. They are allowed to roam free during the daytime in local hills and forests, and then they return to their shelter at night where they are fed mulberry leaves, their favorite food. Do not fear for our deer, they have it very good.   Mallow Deer, also known as the “horse deer,” is another popular variety of deer from which their antler is harvested. This is the most common variety of deer antler available in China. It is very good (but not as good as Sika deer antler). Mallow deer farms are abundant in northeast China. These very hardy, very large deer (thus the name “horse deer”) produce large antlers and therefore are valuable to the farmers on a pound-by-pound basis. These deer are well cared-for.   Red Deer from New Zealand is commonly sold in the U.S. market. New Zealand is a very special place. It is clean and its government keeps it that way. Deer farming is a big industry in New Zealand. Red deer produce quality antler, though not as potent as the antler from Sika or Mallow deer. These deer are very well cared-for. A large number of the New Zealand deer are slaughtered for their meat, which is consumed in Australia and exported overseas. The deer are not nearly as protected in New Zealand as they are in China.   Dragon Herbs has established a permanent relationship with a Sika Deer cooperative in Changbai Mountain. Currently, due to our good fortune, Dragon Herbs only uses Sika Deer to produce all of its Deer Antler products, including Deer Antler Drops. And from these Sika Deer, we only use tips cut from the last ¾ inch of the antler.   This is why Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops is a unique deer antler product in the American market.    Primary Functions:  To tonify the Kidney Qi and fortify Yang.  Also tonic to Yin Jing and Blood, and supporting to the sinews and bones. Supports the heart and mind.   Treasures: Jing (Yin and Yang), Qi (especially Blood) and Shen   Atmospheric Energy: Warm   Taste: Sweet and salty   Channel Associations: Liver and Kidneys. Also tonifies the Heart and Brain, and the Governing, Conception, Penetrating and Belt Channels of the Extraordinary Channels system.   Uses   Deer Antler is the most precious and the most potent of the substances that fortify the yang energy of the Kidney. Deer antler is widely used in Asia, and now throughout the world, to support adrenal, reproductive and brain functions. It is universally believed in the Orient to support sexual strength and to support virility and fertility. In the highly regarded tenth century Taoist manual on health and sexual conduct, The Essence of Medical Prescriptions, compiled by a Chinese physician living in Japan by the name of TambaYasuyori, it was said that:    “There is nothing better than deer antler to cause a man to be robust and unaffected by age, not to tire in the bedroom, and not to deteriorate either in energy or in facial coloration.”   Deer antler is commonly used in combination with most of the major Qi tonic herbs such as Ginseng and Astragalus, and with all of the major Yin and Yang Jing-building herbs such as Goji Berry, Morinda root, He Shou Wu, Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed), Schizandra, Mountain Ant, etc.   Although deer antler has always been used to help build blood and support blood circulation, modern research has supported deer antler’s reputation as a heart tonic. Particularly the alcohol extract of deer antler is consumed for this purpose. Deer antler is tonic to the marrow, which produces blood. Marrow tends to degenerate as we age and deer antler is believed to support marrow maintenance. This may be a major aspect of deer antler’s youth preserving ability.   Consistent long-term use is believed to re-build deep life force, preserve youthfulness and to enhance longevity.     Scientific Knowledge   Deer antler is a rare type of organ in the higher animal kingdom. It is one of the few complex organ structures which regenerates in an annual rhythm and which will regenerate if shed, cut or broken off. This regenerative power is what has most intrigued scientists in recent years, just as it has the Asian people through the ages.     Studies conducted in Europe indicate that the ability to regenerate is partially due to the rich supply of substances known as ectosaponins. These complex chemical agents are found more abundantly in lower animals, in which the ectosaponins cause a wide variety of tissues to regenerate. The ectosaponin in deer antler is very similar to ectosaponins found at the tail bases of many lizards, such as the Gecko lizard, and in the legs of star fish. If the tale is broken off a Gecko or similar lizard or the appendages broken off a starfish, these appendages re-grow --- bone, connective tissue, nerves, blood vessels, flesh and all (no bones in star fishes). The ectosaponins extracted from deer antler, as well as from Gecko and star fish all have shown remarkable regenerative effects on all types of tissue, including nerve tissue, which generally does not regenerate significantly.    Research indicates that moderate doses of the alcohol extract of deer antler supports cardiovascular function by helping to support cardio-regulatory mechanisms, and by supporting circulation.     Numerous studies done in China, Japan, Russia and Korea have shown that deer antler supports muscular and mental endurance, supports sleep and supports normal appetite. Deer antler has been shown to support the oxygen uptake of the brain, liver and kidneys in laboratory animals. It also supports red and white blood cell production in laboratory animals.     Deer antler extract provides minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients.     Deer antler supports insulin-like growth factor IGF-1 functions in the human body.    •           IGF-1 supports immune functions •           IGF-1 supports muscular the metabolic functions that provide strength and endurance •           IGF-1 supports normal growth •           IGF-1 supports cardiovascular functioning •           IGF-1 supports sleep functions •           IGF-1 supports eyesight, including night vision.*   Traditional Function: Reinforcing Kidney Yang, tonifies Yin Jing, tonifies blood*   Who can use it? Those who wish to increase primal Yang energy   Concentration: 4:1   Specifications: 2 fl. oz.   Ingredients: Deer Antler tips.   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.
