Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs proudly offers a 30:1 Dodder Seed Extract (Cuscuta Chinensis Lam.). In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Dodder Seed (Tu Si Zi) is used primarily to replenish Kidney Yang energy, and to improve vision. It has long been used as a longevity herb. Dodder Seed Extract is generally considered a Kidney Yang Tonic. Although effective when taken alone, it is often traditionally paired with other tonic herbs. The Dodder Seed Certificate of Analysis (COA) of this particular batch is shown above. ***These vegetable-derived capsules (Vegan, Kosher and Halal certified) are filled on slow speed equipment and only pure, unadulterated herbal extract is contained in the capsules. There are no magnesium stearates, fillers, gelatin, silicates, gluten, corn, wheat, rice, yeast, starch, titanium dioxide, artificial colors, artificial flavors or preservatives. Capsules produced with high speed equipment in herbal and dietary supplement "factories" generally contain several other ingredients, including powdered lubricants called STEARATES (which can greatly diminish an herb or supplement's absorption into the body). Check their labels! Barlowe also still bottles his products in glass as he believes chemical vapors can vent from plastic containers and contaminate the contents and that glass is better for the environment.
