New Roots Herbal

New Roots Herbal is a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)–compliant, manufacturer of natural health products (NHPs). Peter Wilkes, founder of New Roots Herbal, began working in the health-food industry in 1973, at the first natural foods co‑op in Montreal. Then in 1977, Peter opened a very successful health-food store in Calgary, which was the largest store of its kind in North America at that time. In the mid-1980s, Peter took a new path and founded New Roots Herbal. This name symbolizes a rejuvenation of the body and mind, a changing of lifestyles from old harmful habits to healthy new beginnings. From the very start, the company endeavoured to produce the most therapeutic nutraceutical formulas available on the market. These formulas were designed to contribute to the prevention and cure of disease at their core.

New Roots Herbal originally began with only one product—the Body Rejuvenation Program. It has since grown into a multinational company that offers over 335 different natural health products, sold in over 16 countries and 8,600 locations.

IBS Urgency harnesses the therapeutic potential of five probiotic strains, formulated with premium bovine-sourced colostrum. It could help reduce the duration of diarrhea in those with irritable bowel syndrome.

IBS Urgency delivers 10 billion colony-forming units of five probiotic strains that are critical components of the diverse community of microbes that populate healthy, well-balanced intestines. These probiotic strains of the Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli genera are necessary for optimal intestinal function. IBS Urgency helps reestablish a healthy intestinal flora after the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics.

The 180 mg of colostrum amplifies the benefits of IBS Urgency, as it promotes the growth of B. infantis; this beneficial strain is the first probiotic to inhabit the infant’s intestinal tract and is considered by many as the single most important beneficial bacteria within human intestines.

The water-based GPS™ natural enteric-coated vegetable capsule survives harsh stomach acids to deliver 100% of the therapeutic benefits of each capsule of IBS Urgency.

Mushrooms

Cordyceps (Paecilomyces hepiali) extract (40% polysaccharides) contains unique and potent therapeutic beta-glucans for energy, stamina, libido, and vigour.

This rare fungus thrives at the high altitudes of the Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau. Cordyceps is unique among medicinal mushrooms: it grows from within a caterpillar host. Today, in order to meet increasing demands, cordyceps is grown in climate-controlled greenhouses within a grain-based substrate and yields the same profile of beneficial compounds as those grown in the wild.

New Roots Herbal’s Cordyceps (Paecilomyces hepiali) is a hot water–extracted medicinal mushroom formula standardized to contain 40% polysaccharides (500 mg per capsule). Hot-water extraction is critical in obtaining a high-quality and effective mushroom product, and is the traditional Asian method of extraction. The mycelium contains polysaccharides which are bound by indigestible cell wall comprised of chitin; chitin must be dissolved through hot water in order to gently release the medicinal components. Conversely, grinding the mycelium or the mushroom may cause damage to the long-chain polysaccharides and fails to remove the indigestible chitin (fibre), limiting the amount of therapeutic constituents that can be fit per capsule. Standardization ensures that the final product contains a consistent amount of polysaccharides to allow delivery of a therapeutic dose.

Cordyceps is renowned in traditional Chinese medicine for its antiaging properties. Its therapeutic applications include adrenal fatigue, strength, stamina, and libido enhancement. Its “superginseng” status in China also includes benefits for respiratory and renal (kidney) performance.

Organic Tea

New Roots Herbal’s Matcha Green Tea is shade-grown and hand-harvested. Unlike traditional green tea, its luminous green colour as well as its creamy taste and texture are the result of a subtle steaming of the entire leaf prior to being stone-ground. It’s never roasted, fermented, or pan-seared. Its potent antioxidant and chemoprotective properties are attributed to its high level of the polyphenol epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). ECGC is also credited with its positive effects on collagen, the specific protein responsible for healthy connective tissue as well as succulent, supple, and radiant skin.

Matcha Green Tea also stokes energy levels and helps the body metabolize stored fat for increased physical endurance.

Our Matcha Green Tea is also rich in naturally occurring ʟ‑theanine, the amino acid which relaxes the spirit and sharpens mental clarity.

New Roots Herbal’s Matcha Green Tea has an exquisite, savoury taste that the Japanese refer to as the “fifth flavour” (after salty, sweet, sour, and bitter). It tastes great prepared with a whisk and matcha bowl, or incorporated into shakes and nutritious breakfast blends.

Stevia

Finally, a sweetener that is not a sugar at all, so you no longer have to feel guilty about using it. Stevia is even completely safe for diabetics. Research suggests that, unlike sugar, stevia causes no problems in diabetics or hypoglycemics. And it gets even better: it is actually used for high blood-sugar levels. Best of all, it does not promote tooth decay, but prevents it, and it has no calories.

This truly remarkable herb has been used in South America as a sweetener for hundreds of years. Its incredible properties have made it highly sought-after around the world. Stevia grows throughout Latin America as well as parts of the United States. In Japan, it is expected to be the main sweetener of the future and is now added to everything, from soy sauce to beverages.

Aspartame consists of phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol. Methanol is a highly toxic poison at high levels; it is converted to formaldehyde and formic acid. These substances are highly toxic for the thymus gland. Aspartame is highly toxic for people who suffer from phenylketonuria. This inherited disease causes amino acids to accumulate in toxic amounts in the body, and the phenylalanine in aspartame can be very dangerous for them.

Not enough is known about aspartame to consider it a safe substance. However, what is known is that, according to research done by Arizona State University’s Biochemical Department, aspartame has been associated with seizures. There are also constant complaints to the FDA about recurrent headaches, dizziness, nausea, malaise, and visual disturbances.

Supplements

Ultra B Complex incorporates coenzyme (active form) B vitamins, functional flush-free niacin, and enhanced-absorption choline in a complete B-complex formula.

Ultra B Complex incorporates vitamin C and coenzyme (active form) B vitamins, functional flush-free niacin, and enhanced-absorption choline. Vitamin C and B vitamins support the body’s nervous system to deal more effectively with stress.

The B‑complex vitamins are named so because they are found together as a complex in food. They have complementary actions and work together in the body. B vitamins are responsible for a myriad of physiological functions which include the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins; the formation of red blood cells; and the maintenance of good health.

B‑complex deficiencies are widespread. One study at Tufts University suggests that over 39% of people had low values of vitamin B12. B vitamins are water-soluble, and any excess amount is immediately eliminated through urine. Since none is stored, it is important to have a consistent supply.

New Roots Herbal Ultra B Complex uses coenzyme (active form) B vitamins for maximum absorption. The results are impressive: a fast-acting B complex that does what B vitamins are supposed to do—actively support the mind, mood, nervous, cardiovascular, and digestive systems.
