Mother Nature gave us excellent source of Vitamin C in the Amla berry - the Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis). Amla, honored for over 5,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine for its tonifying, anti-aging and immune enhancing properties, is packed with whole food Vitamin C and naturally occurring bioflavonoids. Research shows that Amla is 12 times more assimilable and creates more potent medicinal effects than synthetic Vitamin C. Two tablets of Amla-C Plus contain 800 mg of Amla, with 54 mg of vitamin C. These 54 mg of Amla-C are equivalent to 600 mg of ascorbic acid Vitamin C.

Amla-C Plus is a unique combination of 80% Amla berry and 20% Spirulina. Amla increases protein synthesis and is useful for hypoglycemia. It contains high levels of the antioxidant Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and tannins which inhibit the degradation of Vitamin C and act as cellular protective agents against oxidative stress. Many of the great Ayurvedic tonics are based on Amla and have been used for centuries as a powerful digestive aid, liver stimulant, with anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-histaminic, anti-viral and antacid properties. It has also been used to increase lean body mass and help with weight management. Both Amla and Spirulina are unique in Ayurvedic medicine because they are both tridosaghna, meaning they are beneficial for all body types.

Amla-C uses no tableting aids, binder or fillers. Certified herbicide and pesticide free. (4 tablets is equivalent to 1200 mg of ascorbic acid) For more information, see Vitamin C "vs" Ascorbic Acid.

We love this product, and we're not alone! Dr. Bernard Jensen, renowned nutritionist, enthusiastically endorsed it too. Capra Mineral Whey is a mineral rich, golden brown, low-heat dried natural food powder from goat milk whey. In addition to its yummy taste, it offers excellent support to prevent or help correct diet-caused mineral deficiencies and resulting problems. The plentiful electrolytes in Capra Mineral Whey make up the electrically charged ions that help regulate water balance, acid-alkaline balance, osmotic pressure, nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction and transport into and out of cells.

Capra Mineral Whey is especially rich in bio-organic sodium, (not to be confused with refined table salt, NaCl, which is very toxic to the body), as well as bio-organic potassium, both of which are essential to neutralizing acid wastes in the body. Its mineral composition also includes calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and a host of other essential minerals. Capra Whey has been used extensively for improvement of digestive problems, weak and painful joints, and to replenish necessary mineral reserves lost through mental and physical stress, and devitalized foods.

Q. Can I use this as a subsitute for the homemade whey recipe from Nourishing Traditions?
A. No, the homemade formula requires homemade whey. This product does not have active cultures.

Q. Does it have oxidized cholesterol & the problems of protein whey?
A. No. This is not a protein whey powder. This is the mineral portion of the whey, dehydrated into a powder. There is no oxidized cholesterol and very little protein.

Q. Will the sodium in this product negatively affect my health?
A. Capra Mineral Whey is rich in bio-organic sodium, which should not be confused with refined table salt, which has sodium that is not bioavailable due to its processing. Bio-organic sodium, as well as bio-organic potassium are essential to neutralizing acid wastes in the body.

Q. What other minerals are in this product?
A. In addition to bio-organic sodium and potassium, its mineral composition includes calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and a host of other essential minerals.

B-Vitamins are crucial for optimal health, energy, handling stress, liver detoxification, heart health and mood balance, yet deficiencies are very common.

Q. Does this product use nano technology?
A. When we use the term "nano" in this product, we are NOT talking about artificially and synthetically manipulating matter on the atomic and molecular level, then adding that manipulated material to a product. This method of nano technology is much different. The word "nano" as we mean it is just a very, very small molecule; we are not quantifying its size or using it as a scientific term.

Our "nanized" tincture contains quantum quality herbs which have been naturally fermented by probiotics into very, very small particles. This makes them extremely bio-available so even those with poor digestion can rapidly absorb the "nanized" phytonutrients of the herbal complexes. We are using unique, potent multi-strain probiotic colonies to assist in this "nanization" process.

For instance, with the Max Stress B Nano Plex, Nutritional Yeast is grown on molasses and then the yeast is fed to probiotics. The probiotics pre-metabolize the yeast and make end-chain B vitamins. These nutrients are now held in the probiotic cell which is put in an organic alcohol tincture. When consumed, our mucosa lining take in the alcohol, and when it enters the blood stream, the probiotic cell burst and end chain B vitamins are delivered right into the blood stream.
