What are standardized, concentrated herbal extract formulas?

All PharmaBotanixx products are made from natural ingredients, which by nature may vary in potency and purity. Standardization is a very important step in the production process, which eliminates these variations and ensures consistency. Only when purchasing standardized herbal extracts are you assured of consistent quality, potency and purity.

In addition to the guarantee of standardization, all our ingredients are carefully processed to eliminate any harmful organisms, thereby guaranteeing you a product which has been tested and is completely pure. All tablets contain pure and oil-free herbal extracts without binders or fillers and are free of chemicals.

Herbs are a natural product that have an accumulative effect in your body. To derive the greatest benefit, herbs should be consumed in a consistent manner. Similarly, just as the benefits are gradual, so is the decline of benefits when you cease taking herbs. If an herbal application is missed, however, you will not immediately feel the effects…just catch up on the missing amounts next time. Remember, in order to get the benefit from herbs, they must be consumed regularly. Traditional herbal formulas contain many small amounts of herbs, some are present to simply protect and nourish the body while the other parts actually solve problems.

For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended to take herbal tablets on an empty stomach - at least one hour before or 2-3 hours after meals.

Can I consume more than one herbal formula at a time?

Yes, often two or three formulas are consumed at the same time with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The human body is a collection of interrelated systems, each affecting the other.

From time to time, she may want to take a second formula designed specifically for that application (ZYZIXX).
