Arrowroot is a white powder extracted from the root of a West Indian plant, Marantha arundinacea. It looks and feels like cornstarch, and is an excellent thickening agent for cooking and baking. It thickens at a lower temperature than flour or cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of arrowroot can be substituted for 1 tablespoon of flour. Often hard to find, even in health food stores that seem well-stocked.

The only starch product with a calcium ash, Arrowroot is a nutritious food that assists in the body's maintenance of acid and alkaline balance.

Arrowroot only thrives on tidal flats where the sea minerals are available. Its known health-building properties may be due to trace minerals from the sea, as well as from the calcium it gets from the sea water. Arrowroot is not a refined product; it is simply the dried and powdered root.

Modern conventional salt is refined and highly heated, which robs it of its natural minerals and trace elements while fusing sodium and chloride into a toxic mixture that poisons our bodies. Celtic Sea Salt is harvested from the ocean off Brittany, France in an age-old tradition. Never refined, Celtic Sea Salt provides the body with needed natural sodium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iodine, and such trace elements as silver, zinc, selenium, and manganese, among many other nutrients. As a natural salt, it is an important source of sodium chloride which in small amounts is vital for good health. The coarse Light Grey salt is still moist, dried only by the sun, and is best ground with our Ceramic Salt Mill. An incredible healing nutrient. Use Celtic Sea Salt - your body will thank you!

We highly recommend the Ceramic Salt Mill as ceramic grinders are the only mills found to work with the coarse salt, which is moist. Mills with any metal content will corrode and thus should not be used. Attractive clear design with a heavy duty ceramic grinder. Available in black and white (2" diameter x 5" tall)

Q. What's in Celtic sea salt that I need?
A. Natural Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Iodine, and trace Elements such as Silver, Zinc, Selenium, and Manganese among others.

Q. Why is Celtic salt better than table salt?
A. Regular table salt is mined for nutrients like magnesium and then sold to us as a byproduct! Table salt's sodium and chloride are fused together under high heat and pressure so those valuable nutrients become toxic and dehydrating for the body.

Q. Does it taste different than table salt?
A. Celtic salt tastes a bit less intensely salty than table salt.

Q. Won't eating any salt increase my blood pressure?
A. Many holistic doctors have observed that simply adding Celtic salt to a person's diet will help normalize their high blood pressure. (Tom Cowan, MD, San Francisco in particular)

Q. How is this salt produced?
A. SaIt is harvested from the ocean off Brittany, France in an age-old tradition. It is never refined.

Q. How is it different than other sea salts?
A. Many sea salts claim to be natural and unprocessed, but in fact are stripped of valuable nutrients.

Q. Can I use a standard salt mill for Celtic Sea Salt Coarse Light Grey?
A. Do to the moisture in this high quality sea salt, a standard grinder with metal components will corrode and should not be used. Out Ceramic Salt Mill (4356/7) is ceramic and won't corrode.

Coral Legend is a natural mineral powder made from coral harvested from the clear ocean bottom off beautiful, semi-tropical Japanese islands. Because the coral ingests a large spectrum of natural, sun-radiated minerals from the ocean water, the powder made from the coral contains a rich concentration of these naturally-occuring minerals in a unique, ionized, highly assimilable form.

The body must reduce any form of calcium into its ionic form in order to use it. Since Coral Legend contains calcium already in ionic form, the body can use the calcium immediately without having to break it down. (Great news for those with poor digestion.) A key role of ionic calcium is to neutralize acidic compounds anywhere in the body, before damage takes place. Coral Legend is naturally balanced with ionic magnesium and many trace minerals for optimal mineral absorption. Unlike many other coral supplements on the market, this one has nothing added, and has no preservatives, fillers, or binders - Just pure marine-grade coral.

1/4 teaspoon contains: 300 mg Calcium, 150 mg Magnesium plus many trace minerals

pH and Mineral Absorption: One Key to Great Health

If your body is acidic, it becomes harder and harder for you to absorb nutrients. The key is to establish the proper acid/alkaline balance in your body. An acidic pH creates a hostile internal environment, like a raging storm, making the body struggle to get the nutrients it needs. The more acidic you are, the worse you will most likely feel. Feeling lousy, pessimistic, angry, irritable, and fatigued are often symptoms of an acid system. As your pH comes into balance your body can easily assimilate minerals that were very difficult to absorb at a more acidic pH. And you'll feel better too!

Coral Legend Helps You Alkalinize
In an alkaline environment, you have abundant oxygen. But as the pH of the blood and urine drops, becoming more acidic, less and less oxygen is available to the tissues. Small changes of 0.1 to 0.2 in pH can mean 10 to 20 times more oxygen availability. Ionized calcium is the key mineral to help keep the pH near ideal. Coral Legend excels at alkalinizing your body over any other form of calcium!

Vitamin D Completes the Picture
Norwegian Cod Liver Oil is another important part of the mineral absorption equation, as it is rich in natural vitamin D, an absolute requirement for absorbing calcium. Dr. Weston Price found that the healthiest non-industrialized peoples around the world consumed 10 times more fat-soluble vitamins (i.e. A & D) than Americans. He attributed their superior bone structures, perfect teeth, and well-formed features to this fact.

The Story Behind Coral Calcium

The 115 Year Old Man
In 1979, a British journalist made a great discovery when he was given the unusual assignment of interviewing one of the oldest documented living people in the world, Mr. Shigechiyo Izumi. Mr. Izumi was a sprightly 115 year old man in amazingly good health who lived on an island off the coast of Japan. He appeared to be active and alert, as spry as a healthy 70 year old. The journalist noticed most of the other inhabitants on the island were also in great health and seldom died before age 95! So intriguing were these people that researchers came to investigate.

What Was Their Secret of Youth?
Researchers found the water the islanders drank was uniquely different. It contained unique, ionized minerals leached from coral on which the island was built. These dissolved minerals made the water highly alkaline. When drunk, it helped the body keep a superior acid/alkaline balance. The highly mineralized "coral" water was found to be chemically very similar to essential elements found in the human skeleton, body fluids, blood and amniotic fluid. The researchers also discovered that the "coral" water could neutralize waste products if present in the water, such as bacteria, heavy metals, fluoride, and chloroform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are the coral reefs harmed in producing this product?
A. No. A certain amount of coral breaks off the reefs from natural wave action and these fresh pieces are collected from the beaches of remote South Pacific islands.

Q. Will it help me build stronger bones and teeth?
A. Research has shown that through a good nutritional program with supplements such as high vitamin cod liver oil and x-factor butter oil, the body has abundant vitamin D and x-factor which fixes available minerals into bone.

Q. Will it help my arthritis?
A. We can't comment on the treatment of specific diseases.

Q. Are there any toxins or metals in this product?
A. This is a very pure product, harvested far from cities, ports, and shipping lanes. An assay is available upon request.

Q. Is there any additional magnesium added to make the 2:1 calcium/mag ratio?
A. No. There are many species of coral, and they all have different ratios of calcium to magnesium. This species was chosen for its unique 2:1 ratio.

Q. Are there any additives or fillers used?
A. No. Other brands use sand and fillers and synthetic vitamins in their products. This product contains only pure sango marine coral.

Camu-camu is a fruit that comes from a bush which grows close to the river banks in the Amazonian rain forest of South America. The camu-camu fruit has a purplish red skin with a yellow pulp. When dried, the pulp becomes a beautiful pink in color. Traditionally made into a juice by people of the rainforest to help maintain their health, camu-camu has more Vitamin C than any other known botanical. The highest quality camu-camu contains 30 to 60 times more Vitamin C than an orange, plus bioflavanoids, and a combination of phytonutrients unique to the camu-camu fruit. Unfortunately, most of the commercially prepared camu-camu has a negligible amount of Vitamin C, which has led to a lack of appreciation of this most potent fruit. Camu-camu also contains bioflavanoids, the amino acids serine, valine, and leucine, as well as small amounts of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin.

Camu-camu is traditionally used to support the immune system, to ward off viral infections, and to help maintain optimal health, especially under conditions of stress and anxiety, which tend to deplete the immune system. Camu-camu helps to promote healthy gums, eyes, and skin and supports the functions of the brain (nervous system) and heart (circulatory system). Amazingly, it even has anti-depressant properties!

This product has an wonderful, tart flavor, and can easily be mixed in smoothies, with water or juice, or (pucker) taken straight off the spoon. Available in powder or capsule form, you will be glad you added Royal Camu to your health regimen! For more information, see Vitamin C "vs" Ascorbic Acid.

There is so much to say about Maca! The fact that one of the many names for it is "Peruvian Ginseng" gives a clue about its nature. Eaten as a traditional food for thousands of years, the Maca root has been used by traditional peoples to enhance libido, energy, as well as numerous therapeutic uses.

We have a lot of respect for Maca because it does something that is fairly rare - it supports the regeneration and optimal functioning of the endocrine system, including the pancreas, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, and testes. It is an adaptogen, meaning that it helps the body deal with stress. Because endocrine gland balance and immune system function are so interrelated, it often notably enhances immune system functioning.

The Maca root is a hardy cruciferous vegetable cultivated in an inhospitable region of the Andean Mountains at altitudes from approximately 12,500-14,500 feet. The part of the plant used for medicinal purposes is the root. Maca is rich in essential minerals, especially selenium, calcium, magnesium, and iron, and includes fatty acids including linolenic, palmitic and oleic acids, and polysaccharides.

Available in powder and capsule form, this is the highest grade of Maca available. Make a warm tea out of it, sprinkle it on foods, mix it into smoothies; add Maca to your life and put on your seatbelt!
