My resource "Back to Eden" tells me the root is particularly beneficial to increasing activity in the liver, pancreas and spleen. The leaves are made up 28% of a natural nutritive sodium that destroys acids in the blood thus cleansing it. Hope this helps!

I have had experience only using the leaves, but from my knowledge, the root is often added to salves/extracts/ointments to give it a stronger potency.

I believe it's all natural...things like macca root. I now buy it at Whole Foods. It's been a miracle pill for me with zero side affects (and I'm even prone to heart palpitations and anxiety...but it didn't affect me negatively at all). I'm just peri menopausal but the hot flashes were awful!

I would somewhat agree. The water holding qualities of the product, help the roots have what they need when they need it. Not sure how it works, but it makes a significant difference.

How often are you eating Matt? The product works by allowing you to secret more geralin in your stomach and also fills your cannabis receptor site allowing some to get the "muchies". Are you fololwing the manual by not drinking plain water always drinking sodas, juice, and other sugary things? I know the manual included with your package has some great ideas.

Hey now! Don't be stirring up trouble!! Dandy Blend is awesome. A little modified sugar beet won't kill you. The stress from worrying over it might, though. (But if you find out, let me know!)

I noticed that my fatigue did lessen when I started using this product. However, you must address the caloric intake and exercise issue at the same time. I personally like the paleo-diet ( our really old ancestors) meaning high meat, low carbs and no wheat products cause the abrupt change in our diet (processed and wheat flour) in last 50 yrs is causing this recent obesity epidemic. ask old people this wasn't a problem back then - see the solution???

I know some people take citrus EOs internally but I personally haven't tried it. I would ask an herbalist first, I'm just hesitant to ingest the oils because they're so potent - of course even putting it on your skin it's still absorbed that way, so, it's basically the same thing. I use it to dab behind my ears. You could always try it and see if you have a reaction.

My entire family takes Garden of Life multis. I love them! The founders story is remarkable. I use Vitamin Code Raw Prenatal and it carries the same "warning". I think it's a regulation for every kind of supplement.

I took the New Chapter vitamins after taking MegaFood for over a year and a half and was really disappointed in how I felt while taking New Chapter. The New Chapter brand made me feel very anxious. It was an unusual feeling. I went back to MegaFood and I am so happy I did. I feel so much better when I take them.

Quite frankly, I didn't really notice any difference between taking Super vs. Saw Palmetto. Had a REAL bad BPH episode and decided to try Mega. The results were real and rather "swift". It took about a day and a half to "kick-in". I've reordered 3 times since then......From reading all the comments, different "things" seem to work for different folks. One guy even mentioned the placebo effect. May be I have myself convinced this works(?) All I know is that I'm back-to-normal.

Hey Dyana in my opinion no. But if your just someone who is taking Phytoceramides for Skin Care and not taking a Good Multivitamin then its just added benefit getting some vitamins you probably don't normally get. However if you are taking all of those vitamins either separate or together then its just a bit of a topper. Anything your body doesn't use of those particular vitamins it excretes when you go to the bathroom. I hope that helps. I was just checking out Phytoceramides because I saw it on a re-run of OZ because I am 67 and the years of harsh Colorado weather have taken its toll on my face. Hey Dyana in my opinion no.

they claim 500 mg but, as another reviewer wrote, this IS from the leaves not the root extract. So I can't say. I know the recommended dosage worked for us. However, as with many alternative/holistic products, the rule of thumb is this- if you take it for 60-90 days and have no detectable or beneficial effects from the product, it's probably not for you. You may wish to try another brand, one that specifically states from the root only. Or it just might not be for you. I'm a retired RN of 30 years and I've had MANY DR.s use this rule of thumb for alternative treatments and they were all for trying something more "natural" vs a prescription med for a lot of their patients. Many benefited, some didn't. It varies widely from person to person. Hope this helps.

The harvest process does not destroy or reduce the acid content. It is said however, to vary a little from plant to plant. 96% is considered to be normal. More information can be found on the internet. The product is, in my opinion, very good. I have used several different brands for several years. I would not recomend les than 400mg per day.

Hi there, I would e-mail Purelife & get instructions from them. I was only drinking 2 cups per day with 4 leafs. Hopefully your question get answered.

All of the vitamins and minerals are not derived solely from greens and fruits and herbs. Those that are listed on the nutrition label are "grown" in a soy "soup" of sorts from a base of chemical vitamins and minerals as the starter. The soy absorbs the starter vit/mins and so, becomes part of a food. The theory is that these types of grown multis are better absorbed than isolated vit/mins on their own. But the jury is still out on that one. They ARE easier on the stomach, though weaker in amount.

I do not limit my dose around food consumption. Since it is sublingual it is processed differently in the body and is not affected by food intake. The benefits, for me, have always been the same regardless of when I take it. And it's so good I notice when I've missed a few days.
