Our Full Spectrum Approach™

Guaranteeing Quality, Effectiveness & Safety

With a wide range of natural remedies and treatments on the market today, we understand that it can sometimes be difficult to make sense of it all. We also know that since there is no standardization in the herbal industry, there is no guarantee as to the consistency, safety or potency of the herbal remedies you buy.

That is until now!

At Native Remedies, all of our remedies are developed using the Full Spectrum Approach (FSA) to ensure you get the quality, potency and protection you deserve. Our Full Spectrum Approach consists of a set of standards and processes that combine wild crafted herbs, cGMP manufacturing and a full spectrum extraction method.

 

Our 3 Point Promise

1. Formulation

The first step in formulating a new remedy is always determining a customer’s needs and to match them with natural ingredients that have proven effectiveness.

In doing so, we draw on a vast body of documented knowledge about traditional medicine, as well as more recent clinical research into herbal remedies and proven homeopathic ingredients. Together with a team of natural health experts, the final formulations are compiled and decided upon.

2. Raw Material Quality & Source

All of the raw ingredients we use in our remedies are purchased from reputable suppliers and our ingredients are organically grown whenever possible.

We also ensure that wild-crafted herbs are grown far away from sources of pollution and electricity pylons, and that their presence does not compromise the integrity and balance of their environment.

All of our raw ingredients are purchased with an accompanying Certificate of Analysis. On receipt, they go into quarantine until further in-house tests are completed and released by our responsible pharmacists, ensuring that the herbs are fresh and not contaminated by any impure substances (e.g. heavy metals or bacterial infections).

3. Manufacturing

We manufacture all our remedies in an FDA registered facility under sterile conditions to ensure that no contamination occurs.

All our remedies are manufactured in-house under the supervision of our expert team and none are brought in from elsewhere. This enables us to have full control over quality and safety.

All of our products are then manufactured according to the principles of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) ensuring the consistency, safety and effectiveness of our remedies.

 

Full Spectrum Method vs. 'Standardized' Extracts

You may have heard the term 'standardized' extract used in relation to herbal remedies, but do you know what this means?

Many pharmaceutical companies have begun manufacturing herbal remedies using a process of extraction whereby harsh chemicals are employed to extract the active ingredients of medicinal herbs.

You will recognize these extracts by the usage of the words 'standardized' extract on the labels. This method of manufacturing is often cited as being more scientific and able to produce a superior product with controlled and guaranteed amounts of active ingredients in each product.

Contrary to these claims, this process is not approved by the manufacturers of holistic medicines. One of the reasons is that the process of extracting so-called 'active ingredients' and isolating them from the rest of the herb is one that has resulted in an increase in side effects, as the herb in this way loses its natural ability to protect against side effects.

In addition, many manufacturers use all parts of the plants to create standardized extracts, whereas herbalists know that only certain parts of some herbs should be used.

In the case of Ginkgo Biloba, for example, it is well known that the seeds of this plant are poisonous and can cause seizures and that only the leaves should be used. Standardized extracts of Ginkgo Biloba have been associated with the risk of seizure in some trials.

The most recent example of the dangers of using this manufacturing process includes the development of liver toxicity from using Kava Kava extract, an herb which has been safely used for hundreds of years!

It must also be added that this process of extraction requires the use of harsh chemicals and solvents, traces of which are difficult to remove completely from the final product.

To us, it makes little sense for companies to go the natural route, while being unable to guarantee that their product is free of contamination with chemicals known to be harmful to health!

The Complete Menopause and Premenstrual Program

Our Brain and Nervous System UltraPack includes:

• MellowPause is a supportive remedy for menopausal and peri-menopausal women to maintain balanced mood and restful sleep
• Dong Quai is used to naturally support the common conditions associated with normal menopause and the premenstrual period
• Femalite is used to promote emotional and hormonal balance during the premenstrual period

Each of the products listed above play an integral role during the perimenopause, menopause, or premenstrual period. This Ultrapack trio has been created to provide a comprehensive approach to promote reproductive health and support hormonal balance.

Hormones and a woman’s body

Hormones play a vital role in every woman’s health and well-being. When hormone levels fluctuate, this can affect your mood, sexual desire, fertility, and ovulation. In other words, normal hormone fluctuations may impact on how your reproductive system responds.

Menopause is associated with a routine reduction of estrogen hormones and this can begin many years before menstruation actually stops. These hormones are influenced by certain factors such as nutrition, diet, lifestyle, exercise, stress, emotions, age, and ovulation.

Experience relief during the changes of life

Although it may feel like it, menopause is not a disease or an ailment – it is a natural transition that occurs for all women when they reach a particular age. It commonly affects a woman's hormones, body, and feelings. It can be a stop-start process that may take months or years.

Hormone levels commonly fluctuate, causing changes just as they did during adolescence. The normal changes leading to menopause may seem much more intense than those during puberty. The intensity may be affected by a woman's feelings about aging, including her reactions to social judgments about aging.

The average age for a woman's final period is 51, but it can occur as late as age 60. Each woman's experience with menopause is unique. Some women experience very few changes during this time, while others experience a variety of common fluctuations.

Dealing with menopause is best accomplished through a combination of diet, healthy lifestyle and natural support. Before embarking on a plan, it is always advisable to research all options available to you.

MellowPause ™ is a 100% safe, non-addictive natural herbal formula containing a selection of herbs to promote a woman’s overall health during perimenopause and menopause. MellowPause supports the temperature regulating mechanisms of the body (to address routine hot flashes commonly associated with the change of life), supports the maintenance of healthy sleep patterns and maintains balanced mood.

Dong Quai ™ is used as a nourishing tonic for the female reproductive system and has been used for centuries by Asian healers to balance female hormones and to support the common conditions normally associated with menopause.

Peace during the premenstrual period

Each month during the time before menstruation, all women experience a set of hormonal changes that can influence mood and general wellbeing in an estimated 40 million women for up to two weeks prior to menstruation.

Over 150 common complaints have been attributed to the premenstrual period, including coming down with ‘the blues’, bursting into tears, common aches and feeling listless. But complaints may vary from month to month, and there may even be months when all is smooth sailing.

Characteristically, complaints may commonly be both physical and emotional.

Femalite ™ is formulated especially for use a few days before your period to support emotional and physical balance during this time.

Dong Quai ™ is used as a nourishing tonic for the female reproductive system to maintain a regular menstrual cycle. Dong Quai has been used for centuries by Asian healers to support female hormonal balance and to act as a tonic for menopausal and peri-menopausal women – as well as women who are in need of premenstrual.support .
