Lee talks about Herbal Life.

We take your health as seriously as you do. We also share in your interest to identify the best natural self-care products, and understand your concerns about safety and purity. Vibrant health can be achieved through the knowledge and power of an informed consumer, and we're doing something about it through our comprehensive line of premium-quality herbal dietary supplements.

It's hard to imagine that our health has degraded so much in what we call the age of technology. Through modern medicine and advanced scientific technologies, this is a time when we are supposed to have all the tools necessary to stay healthy, but in reality, the health of the western world is deteriorating. We may be living longer, but we are not living healthier. In fact, the quality of life for the average North American over the age of 45 has decreased significantly in the last 10 years. According to the World Health Organization, the United States spends more money than any other nation in the world on health care; yet 36 other nations are ranked higher than it in terms of quality of health.


America's rediscovery of the healing-assisting power of plants marks a return to an ancient form of medicine that was medicine since the beginning of mankind--and that remains so for 80% of the world's people. For thousands of years people around the world have enjoyed the benefits of natural remedies. But just like many other health conscious people, you may have avoided these alternative products because their medicinal benefits were never fully proven, or rather they just didn't measure up to accepted high standards of safety, purity and effectiveness. Now, the myth vs. fact barrier has been broken with exciting new dietary supplements that deliver the traditional benefits you desire.


Herbology as an ancient science has been tried and proven throughout time. It has only been recently that the American culture has tried to capitalize on this time-tested wisdom. Unfortunately, many of today's herbs and vitamins are missing the key factor that governs it's success: and that is balance! The truth of the matter is that unbalanced herbal combinations can actually be harmful to your body. We have combed the globe and obtained products from various companies that have formulated a precision in their formulas that achieve the optimum results. It is not only the combination of herbs, but also the ratio of these components that make these products so effective. Some call it the science of ancient herbology!

Why is nutritional supplementation important:

Nutrients are substances which are necessary to sustain life. They must be obtained from food as they are either not made in the body at all, or are not made in sufficient quantities for growth, vitality and well-being. A deficiency of a particular nutrient can cause disease symptoms which can only be cured by that nutrient. It is impossible to sustain life without the essential vitamins and minerals. Yet in modern times, our soils have become anemic and our food has become impure. In short this means we can no longer get the nutritional elements we need from our food. We must consciously supplement our daily intake of food with the lacking nutritional components, or poor health and disease are certain resultants.

What nutrients do:

Nutrients have many functions and influence the health of every organ in the body. The combination of essential substances such as vitamins, minerals, proteins and enzymes brings about certain life-sustaining chemical reactions. Individual nutrient components have specific functions which vary widely and can overlap. They are involved in growth, the ability to produce, the maintenance of health, and the basic functionalities required to sustain life. However our soils and foods are not what they used to be. The over-farming of the soils, the un-natural implementation of growth hormones, the hybriding and genetic altering of foods, and the general decline of the nutritional awareness of the modern diet have all lead to the nutritional epidemic that plagues the modern world.

Are you unhappy with your weight?

Have you ever looked in the mirror and asked, "How did this happen?" Well, the explanation sounds deceptively simple: if we take in more calories than we need on a daily basis, the excess calories turn into extra weight. Think of food as fuel and your body as an automobile. Food is the energy our bodies "run" on. Overeating is like over-fueling and the excess fuel turns into fat. Thus, the cycle of weight gain begins.

Unfortunately, the cycle of weight gain was not an overnight thing, and thereby the complete remedy is also not a one-time "magic pill" solution. Good eating habits and excerise have always been the best solution for permanent weight loss solutions. However, there are a number of natural herbal ingredients that can GREATLY assist in the quest of weight management and the return to ideal body size measurements. Through time-tested techniques of natural metabolism enhancing herbs and the return to ancient natural techniques that seem to have been forgotten by today's medical community, the seemingly impossible weight/inch loss task is fully possible! Best of all, the products listed here are completely natural with no dangerous drugs or additictive stimulants as is prevelant with so many of the common weight loss pills in todays stores.

The January 1997, USA Today Harris Poll showed that more than 74% of Americans, 25 or older, are overweight. That's nearly 3 out of 4 citizens!

Dr. C. Everett Koop, former Surgeon General, has just announced that obesity and related conditions are the second largest health risk in America today, resulting in 3,000,000 deaths each year.

Scientific studies show that most low-calorie diets that aren't accompanied by heavy exercise, can result in a 50% loss of lean muscle mass.

Depending on who you ask, You'll get a lot of different answers as to why weight loss is important. Some people simply want to fit into that old pair of jeans, while others worry about the unhealthy side effects that accompany weight gain. Nevertheless, as we are continuously bombarded by weight-gain studies and health reports, the message is clear: Losing excess weight will improve your health, boost your self-image, and add years to your life!
