Herbal Alternatives

     GNLD rarely discusses their herbal products, but it is probably a good idea to provide a brief review of the technology behind these products. I will approach it from the standpoint of the major problems with herbal products.

     Purity: Herbal products are subject to contamination by bacteria and fungal growth. Most products use toxic gases, preservatives, or gamma radiation to prevent contamination. GNLD employs sophisticated anti-microbial processes to prevent contamination. Both raw materials and end products are tested to assure purity.

     Low potency or large pills: Herbals generally have rather low levels of active ingredients. GNLD herbal products use a unique process concentrating the active ingredients up to five times their natural potency.
     Inconsistent quantities of active ingredients: The quantity of active ingredients varies from herb to herb. GNLD standardizes their herbal formulations to assure that the proportions of active ingredients remain the same as in the original starting material. Active ingredients are tested to make sure they are always present in the final product.
