Calcium is found in Emerald Energy® Femme

About Our Calcium
We use calcium citrate (potentcy 21%) because it is more readily absorbed by the body than other forms of calcium (such as calcium carbonate).

About Calcium in General
Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the human body, has several important functions. More than 99% of total body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth where it functions to support their structure. The remaining 1% is found throughout the body in blood, muscle, and the fluid between cells. Calcium is needed for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system. A constant level of calcium is maintained in body fluid and tissues so that these vital body processes function efficiently.

Bone undergoes continuous remodeling, with constant resorption (breakdown of bone) and deposition of calcium into newly deposited bone (bone formation). The balance between bone resorption and deposition changes as people age. During childhood there is a higher amount of bone formation and less breakdown. In early and middle adulthood, these processes are relatively equal. In aging adults, particularly among postmenopausal women, bone breakdown exceeds its formation, resulting in bone loss, which increases the risk for osteoporosis (a disorder characterized by porous, weak bones).

Wild yam is found in Emerald Energy® Femme.

Common Name: Wild Yam
Latin Names: Dioscorea villosa (from North America) and Dioscoreae oppositae (from China)
Chinese Name: Shān Yào (山药)

Wild Yam contains natural hormone regulators useful in PMS. Wild yam relaxes and soothes nerves.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, wild yam was used by herbalists to treat menstrual cramps and problems related to childbirth. The subsequent discovery of a substance contained in wild yams revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry. The tubers, or fleshy, root-like parts, of wild yams (not to be confused with the sweet potato yam) contain diosgenin, a steroid-like substance that is involved in the production of the hormone progesterone. Diosgenin has served a key role in the making of hormones and the development of the birth control pill, two of the major advances in plant drug medicine this century. Wild yam continues to be used for treating menstrual cramps, nausea and morning sickness associated with pregnancy, inflammation, osteoporosis, menopausal symptoms, and other health conditions.

Angelica is found in Emerald Energy® Femme.

Common Name: Angelica
Latin Name: Angelica sinensis
Chinese Name: Dong Gui or Dong Quai (當歸)

Angelica, also know as dong quai, has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese medicine. It remains one of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine and is used primarily for health conditions in women. Angelica has been called “female ginseng,” based on its use for gynecologic disorders such as painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea) or pelvic pain, recovery from childbirth or illness, and fatigue/low vitality. It is also given for strengthening xue (loosely translated as “the blood”), for cardiovascular conditions, high blood pressure, inflammation, headache, infections, and neuropathic (nerve) pain.

In Chinese medicine, angelica is most often used in combination with other herbs. Within the Chinese medical framework, angelica is used as a component of formulas for liver qistasis and spleen deficiency. It is believed to work best in patients with a yin profile and is considered to be a mildly warming herb. Angelica is thought to return the body to proper order by nourishing the blood and harmonizing vital energy. In Chinese, “dong quai” translates as “return to order,” referring to its ability to restore women’s health.
