Highlighted Resources

Investigating the Three Types of Androgenic Herbs

To fully comprehend how androgenic herbs—and many of our products—work, you must first comprehend the three types of androgenic herbs.

This page discusses the three types of androgenic herbs and their role in supporting the production of androgens in the body. Androgens are a group of hormones that include testosterone, and they play important roles not only in the development and maintenance of male characteristics, but in overall health, wellness, and vitality in men and women.

The page also provides information on the benefits and risks of using these herbs and offers some tips for those considering incorporating them into their health routine.

For a deeper understanding of androgenic herbs, you can read the complete article on "Understanding the Classes of Androgenic Herbs" in the Knowledge Bank—one of the most popular pages on the site.

A Visual Overview of How to Use Our Products

Using medicinal extracts and RAW pollens is simple and enjoyable.

We collaborated with an artist and friend to create our Visual Guide to Using Our Extracts and Pollens to demonstrate and celebrate how simple it is.

Increasing Our Understanding of Reishi

Some herbs and fungi capture the imagination and the heart, and you keep returning to them.

Without a doubt, one of these is Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum).

As a result, we are pleased to provide an expanded article on Reishi, which includes some classical information, important modern-day research, and an introduction to the medicinal compounds and the various types of extracts available. We also discuss what makes Duanwood Reishi so unique.

Please read our article Furthering a Deeper Understanding of Reishi.

RAW Duanwood Reishi Spores And Extract

We prefer to use plant pollen whenever possible at RAW Forest Foods. This is because pollen contains the highest concentrations of phytonutrients in the plant. This is also true for mushrooms and other fungi.

We took advantage of the opportunity to provide RAW Duanwood Reishi Spores to our customers.

They have a cracked cell wall, like all of our pollens, and contain 70 times the active constituents found in the entire Reishi Mushroom. Reishi Spores, long regarded as the "Royal Longevity" tonic in China, are now used to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer.

Wild-Harvested Siberian Chaga

Chaga is a powerful immune booster and longevity tonic that has been used for centuries in Siberia's near-Artic regions. Chaga has now been subjected to extensive testing and numerous clinical trials, demonstrating its efficacy in promoting immune function as well as anti-tumor and anti-cancer properties. *

Because chaga is indigestible to humans, it must be extracted in water and alcohol. Our Chaga is a standardized water/alcohol extract that is based on the clinical trials' Chaga extracts.

Women's Hormonal Health and Nettle Root

Nettle Root is proving to be an effective natural treatment for PCOS and PCOD, one of the most debilitating and common endocrine disorders in women. 

For more information, see our Knowledge Bank article on Nettle Root and Women's Hormonal Health.

Himalayan Shilajit Extract

Known traditionally as "The Destroyer of Weakness, the Conqueror of Mountains," he has earned the moniker "Indian Viagra" today. 

Shilajit is a powerful restorative adaptogen for both men and women, acting as a panacea when all else fails.

Why Is Safe Estrogen Detoxification Necessary?

This article addresses the growing concern about low testosterone levels in the body and introduces two new concepts into the discussion: estrogen toxicity and estrogen detoxification. The majority of people today have both high estrogen levels (estrogen toxicity) and low testosterone levels.

Estrogen removal from the body is difficult, and even more difficult to do safely. The protocol for this is described in our Knowledge Bank entry on the Importance of Safe Estrogen Detoxification.

Understanding the Process of Estrogen Detoxification

Please read our article Understanding Estrogen Detoxification in the Knowledge Bank to better understand our Peak Performance Estrogen Detox and estrogen detoxification.

Making Professional Grade Tinctures

What is the distinction between a 1:5 tincture and a 2:1 tincture?

Understanding tinctures and taking tinctures is all about understanding what the ratios mean, both economically and in terms of how much of a specific product you are taking. The exact recipe for making the tincture is the formula plus the ratio.
