Umcka ColdCare Syrup - Menthol (4 fl oz) by Nature’s Way

Umcka ColdCare Syrup - Menthol (4 fl oz) by Nature’s Way

Umcka ColdCare brings to America the current success story of the German market. With phenomenal growth, it’s gone from being an obscure herbal remedy to become one of Germany’s top new medicines. In the past two years sales have jumped over 700% - growing faster than any other brand. It’s success is attributed to impressive clinical results, high consumer satisfaction and a fascinating history that originates from the native cultures of South Africa.??

In 1897, an Englishman named Charles Stevens went to South Africa hoping to cure himself of tuberculosis. He consulted with a Basuto tribal healer who gave him a decoction of a local medicinal plant. Fully recovered, Charles Stevens returned to England with his mysterious remedy - which became popular throughout Europe as “Steven’s Consumption Cure”.

In 1920, a former missionary doctor, Adrien Sechehaye, learned of Steven’s cure. During the next nine years he treated over 800 patients in Switzerland with a homeopathic preparation of the medicine. In 1929 he published the medical case studies. But with the introduction of synthetic tuberculosis drugs, Steven’s remedy became largely forgotten in Western medicine - until its recent “rediscovery” by European researchers. That’s where the story of Umcka really begins.

The Umcka Name: What the Basuto healer gave Charles Stevens was a traditional remedy made from the roots of Pelargonium sidoides - a species of geranium unique to South Africa. Among the Zulu, the medicine was described as “umKhulkane’ (denoting respiratory infection) + ‘uHlabo’ (roughly meaning chest pain). Nature’s Way introduces the medicine to America simply as Umcka For hundreds of years the Zulu, Basuto, Xhosa and Mfengi cultures have used Pelargonium sidoides as a curative for coughs, upper respiratory tract irritations and gastrointestinal concerns. Today, with the advantages of modern science and clinical research, we are able to better understand what makes this traditional remedy work so effectively.

Natural Appetite Control (90 softgels) by Life Extension

Natural Appetite Control (90 softgels) by Life Extension

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an astonishing two of every three American adults are overweight. Simply put, being overweight poses grave health risks for aging adults. Excess fat can unleash a cascade of pathological effects in the body, damaging every cell and organ system while increasing the risk of age-related health problems.

A recently published study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that overweight adults who followed a program of modest caloric restriction achieved significant reductions in body fat mass in just six months, while improving the ability of cells to normally utilize insulin.

A natural plant extract discovered in Europe has been found to dramatically suppress appetite without stimulatory effects. Extracted from the nuts of the Korean pine, (Pinus koraiensis), pinolenic acid stimulates the release of two of the body’s most powerful hunger suppressing hormones: CCK (cholecystokinin) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This not only helps the body digest fats better, but also sends a feeling of satiety or “fullness” to the brain, decreasing the desire to eat and helping to control excessive calorie intake.

Life Extension’s Natural Appetite Control formula was developed for adults seeking to lower their calorie intake and maintain a successful, long term weight management program. Each softgel of Natural Appetite Control provides 1000 mg of a standardized extract of Korean pine nuts containing the highest concentration of pinolenic acid found in any pine nut species.

This supplement should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary.
