Herbal Testosterone

Herbal Testosterone

Herbal Testosterone is an effective and safe to multiply your testosterone by 500%.

Benefits:

  • Increased Testosterone Production;
  • Increased Sex Drive in Men and Women.

How Taken

As a dietary supplement, take 3 capsules upon rising with a glass of water, and 3 capsules at bed time with a glass of water.

Drug Class and Mechanism

Manipulating the tendency of a testosterone to exist in an unbound state is an effective way to alter the overall activity and potency of ones overall testosterone levels. Higher levels of testosterone produce an enhanced anti-glucocorticoid effect, which yields an anti-catabolic, or more precisely, anti-proteoolytic, effect on muscle cells. This indirect anabolic effect is the result of testosterone high affinity for binding with glucocorticoid receptors, thus blocking the normal messenger pathway that triggers protein release from muscle tissue.

More free testosterone also likely results in higher concentrations of IGF-1 and IGF-1 receptor sites in skeletal muscle tissue. Correspondingly, lower testosterone also likely yields less IGF-1 production and a corresponding decrease in IGF-1 receptor sites. Lower free testosterone also likely means a weaker immune system.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Herbal Testosterone, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Storage

Mircette (Ethinyl Estradiol/Desogestrel)

Ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medication also causes changes in your cervical mucous and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.

Ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel are used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.

Ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

You may need to use back-up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using this medication. Follow your doctor’s instructions.

The 28-day birth control pack contains seven “reminder” pills to keep you on your regular cycle. Your period will usually begin while you are using these reminder pills.

You may have breakthrough bleeding, especially during the first 3 months. Tell your doctor if this bleeding continues or is very heavy.

Head Strong

Head Strong

Head Strong is a multivitamin and mineral formula designed to keep hair strong, healthy and shiny.

How Taken

Consult your healthcare provider to establish your personal dosage.

Drug Class and Mechanism

Vitamin C: Essential for over 300 metabolic reactions in the body, Vitamin C is one of the most common supplements in the world and for good reason. Easily lost from the body through micturition, other factors that can lead to Vitamin C deficiency include poor diet and smoking. Vitamin C deficiency manifests itself in many ways, but one of the most common ways is dry and brittle hair and skin. An important antioxidant, Vitamin C helps maintain good circulation, flushes toxins from the body and improves the immune system; all of which helps with strong, healthy hair.

Calcium: According to the ancient practice of Ayurvedic medicine, hair and nails are byproducts of healthy calcium absorption. Proper absorption of calcium leads to improved blood circulation by helping to prevent hemorrhaging. Calcium also promotes efficient heart functioning and improved performance, and it increases scalp circulation, allowing for adequate blood flow to the hair follicles.

Zinc: Many people with poor diet, or those on a crash diet experience hair loss. One of the reasons for this is zinc deficiency in the body. Zinc is an essential mineral, vital for growth and development of all the body systems. It is a major part of the synthesis of DNA and RNA and aids in the production and processing of at least 42 vital enzymes in the body.

Kelp (Ascophylum nodosum) : Kelp contains iodine, which helps maintain proper thyroid function. Kelp is also rich in proteins and essential fatty acids, both excellent for metabolic maintenance with the beneficial side effect of healthier-looking hair.

Selenium: Involved in the regulation of the thyroid, the gland that secretes hundreds of hormones into the system, maintaining, among other many other things, good scalp circulation.

Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) : A recent study showed that Vitamin Dsupplementation stimulated hair growth in nude mice. By stimulating the keratinocytes, cells that secrete keratin, the primary constituent of hair, skin and nails, Vitamin D encourages increased hair growth.

Lecithin: Derived from soy, lecithin is a phospholipid that is one of the main constituents of the structural components of cells. A good source of essential fatty acids, lecithin helps the body maintain healthy formation of keratin.

Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) : Licorice contains a compound that helps prevent the conversion of testosterone (which both men and women produce in their bodies) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), one of the causes of alopecia, or pattern baldness.

Silica (Silicon Dioxide) : Studies in the former Soviet Union have shown that silica therapy slowed hair loss. Silicon deficiency has been shown to reduce maintenance of hair, skin and nail cells.

Turmeric(Curcuma longa) : Turmeric has been used in the Ayurvedic tradition of medicine for several ailments, including hair loss. It is used to treat skin infections and liver ailments, which is believed to impact the health of hair follicles.

Soy Isoflavones: One of the more chemically unique isoflavones in soy is Equol, a nonsteroidal estrogen, that acts as an antiandrogen by blocking the hormone dihydrotestosterone, helping to prevent hair loss.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Head Strong, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Storage

Store Head Strong at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep Head Strong out of the reach of children and away from pets.

Warnings Precautions

Seek the advice of a health care professional if you have any medical condition.

Possible Side Effects

Because Head Strong is an all-natural nutritional supplement containing only the finest botanicals, there are no harmful side effects when taken as directed.

Soothenol

Soothenol

Soothenol is a safe and soothing formula is intended to ease the symptoms, and relieve the discomfort that often accompanies the ups and downs of PMS through the use of all-natural ingredients.

How Taken

Consult your healthcare provider to establish your personal dosage.

Drug Class and Mechanism

Chaste Tree Berry: Since Greco-Roman times, the berries of the chaste tree have been used to treat female problems, such as menopausal disorders, premenstrual syndrome, menstrual irregularities, uterine pain, swollen ovaries, breast tenderness and more. Chaste tree berry can relieve PMS by balancing the female sex hormones throughout the menstrual cycle; it increases LH (luteinizing hormone) and inhibits FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) release. By doing this, the estrogen to progesterone ratio is shifted so that less estrogen is present (FSH promotes estrogen release). In other words, a lower amount of estrogen may result in fewer or no premenstrual symptoms. Evidence of chaste tree berry effectiveness has been verified through clinical studies; in a German study, for example, 90% of 1,542 women taking chaste tree reported that their PMS symptoms were significantly or completely relieved. Chaste tree use in alleviating breast swelling is attributed to gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid found in the berries.

Black Cohosh: Black Cohosh was originally used for PMS, menstrual cramps, and menopausal complaints in the late 1800’s, and it is still popular today for the above female problems and as an alternative for hormone replacement therapy and high blood pressure. Clinical findings have shown that Black Cohosh root promotes and restores healthy menstrual activity, soothes irritation and congestion of the uterus, cervix and vagina, relieves the pain and distress of pregnancy, contributes to quick, easy and uncomplicated deliveries, and promotes uterine involution and recovery.

Dong Quai: In traditional Chinese medicine, Dong Quai is used to treat menstrual problems and PMS. Chinese researchers found that Dong Quai also stimulates red blood cell production, promoting a decline in fatigue. br>
Evening Primrose Oil: Evening Primrose oil (EPO) comes from the seeds of the Evening Primrose plant. Like Chaste Tree, this oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is a long-chain fatty acid that is thought to suppress inflammation by metabolizing into DGLA and, subsequently, inhibiting prostaglandin. Since excessive uterine contractions caused by the overproduction of prostaglandin are responsible for menstrual cramps, EPO may act to eliminate or suppress these cramps. Studies on Evening primrose effects on PMS and breast pain have been conducted, and they have shown significant results supporting EPOs use for menstrual and premenstrual problems. Evening primrose is an approved PMS treatment in Great Britain & has been used for centuries by American Indians.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Soothenol, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Storage

Store Soothenol at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep Soothenol out of the reach of children and away from pets.

Warnings Precautions

Nolvadex (Tamoxifen)

Nolvadex (Tamoxifen)

Nolvadex, an anticancer drug, is given to treat breast cancer. It also has proved effective when cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Nolvadex is most effective in stopping the kind of breast cancer that thrives on estrogen.

Nolvadex is also prescribed to reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer following surgery and radiation therapy for ductal carcinoma in situ. The drug can also be used to reduce the odds of breast cancer in women at high risk of developing the disease. It does not completely eliminate your chances, but in a five-year study of over 1,500 high-risk women, it slashed the number of cases by 44 percent.

Most important fact about Nolvadex

Although Nolvadex reduces the risk of breast cancer, it increases the possibility of developing endometrial (uterine) cancer. Women taking Nolvadex should have routine gynecological examinations and report any abnormal vaginal bleeding, changes in menstrual periods, change in vaginal discharge, or pelvic pain or pressure to the doctor immediately. Even after Nolvadex therapy has stopped, any abnormal vaginal bleeding should be reported at once.

How should you take Nolvadex?

Take Nolvadex exactly as prescribed. Do not stop taking this medication without first consulting your doctor. It may be necessary to continue taking the drug for several years.

  • If you miss a dose…
    Do not try to make it up. Go back to your regular schedule with the next dose.
  • Storage instructions…
    Nolvadex may be stored at room temperature.

What side effects may occur?

Side effects from Nolvadex are usually mild and rarely require the drug to be stopped. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Nolvadex.

  • Side effects may include:
    Hot flashes, nausea, vomiting

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

It is important to avoid pregnancy while taking Nolvadex, because the drug could harm the unborn child. Since Nolvadex is an anti-estrogen drug, you will need to use a non-hormonal form of contraception, such as a condom and/or diaphragm, and not birth control pills. If you accidentally become pregnant while taking Nolvadex, or within 2 months after you have stopped taking it, discuss this with your doctor immediately.

Because Nolvadex might cause serious harm to a nursing infant, you should not breastfeed your baby while taking this drug. If this medication is essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to discontinue breastfeeding until your treatment is finished.

Recommended dosage for Nolvadex

 ADULTS

Breast Cancer Treatment

The daily dosage ranges from 20 to 40 milligrams. If you are taking more than 20 milligrams a day, your doctor will have you divide the total into 2 smaller doses taken in the morning and evening. Nolvadex comes in 10- and 20-milligram tablets.
