begins.
Wild harvested organic.
Our extract contains no trace of mature or immature seeds. What we have is latex, first collected by slicing the 1 inch diameter stems, it is then collected by using a soft piece of leather to get the latex to stick; once a sufficient amount of latex is collected it's then scraped off the leather with a sharp tool; from this is it purified in water to remove all the tiny partials of leaves and other plant pieces. Then allowed to dry in an oven at a temperature of 175 Fahrenheit until it turns to dry bubbly crystals.

An exquisite south American tree, or shrub, in the Datura family that can produce an abundance of large trumpet shaped flowers.
Like Datura, all parts of this plant are highly parsimonious. This toxic warning is not given to create reverse psychology effect; that is to say something is bad so people will do the opposite (ingest it).

Green tea

Camellia sinensis

Suggestion: combine 1/8th teaspoon of RSB's Ginger extract to your green tea for a super yummy beverage.

Ginger is listed on this site in alphabetical order as Zingiber officinalis, its botanical name.

Guto Kola

Centella asiatica

Triterpenoids (compounds found in gotu kola) is reported to decrease anxiety and increase mental function in mice. A recent study found that people who took gotu kola were less likely to be startled by a novel noise (a potential indicator of anxiety) than those who took placebo. Although the results of this study are somewhat promising, the dose used in this study was extremely high, making it difficult to draw any conclusions about how gotu kola might be used by people with anxiety.
1/8th to 1/4th teaspoon of our 10X extract taken 1 or 2 times daily can produce excellent results.

Cha De Bugre

Cordia salicifolia/Cordia ecalyculata

Cha De Bugre Is an herbal product from Brazil; very little has been done to analyze the phytochemicals in the plant. At present it is known to contain caffeine, potassium, allantoin and allantoic acid. The red fruits or berries of chá de bugre (resembling a coffee bean) contain caffeine. The allantoin and allantoic acid may explain the traditional use of the plant for wound healing. Main plant chemicals include allantoin, allantoic acid, caffeine, potassium. In addition to the above it's constitutes actually aid in the digestion of its caffeine, causing it to be less of a gastrointestinal irritant than coffee. It's being sold world wide as a weight loss aid. Please compare our quality and prices, most online distributors won't even say how much or how pure of a product they sell.
