Why Vets Recommend Herbs for Your Pets

Natural Substitute for Anabolic Steroids with Animals Discovered in the Amazon Rainforest

Dear Professional,

Did you know that 40% of all pharmaceuticals have their origins with plants from the Amazon Rainforest?

And natural Rainforest plant extracts offer incredible therapeutic benefits without the side effects common to certain drugs (i.e. liver stress and aggression), even under long-term use. Plus they offer powerful anti-oxidant and phyto-nutritional benefits.

Rainforest Herbs Have Power to Slow and Reverse Aging

Medicine men and women of the Rainforest have known and used the power of plants for healing and maximizing performance for millennia.

Doctors, veterinarians and health professionals are the medicine men and women of our modern world. Now you can better assist people and animals with ancient plant therapies.

Rainforest Herbs With Steroidal Properties

Amazon herbs like Muira Puama (Ptychopetalum olacoides), Maca (Lepidium brassicaceae ) and Catuaba (Erythroxylum catuaba) have been shown to stimulate anabolic conditions. Traditional use and emerging research has shown these herbs to:

  • Build muscle
  • Improve appetite
  • Promote weight gain
  • Boost immune function
  • Enhance fertility
  • Speed recovery from injury
  • Increase stamina and endurance
  • Produce hair growth
  • Balance metabolism
  • Fortify the nervous system


These plants contain plant sterols and a host of other beneficial plant compounds. Other beneficial compounds include various co-factors and synergistic phyto-nutrients not available from pharmaceuticals.

Here's a sample of what the plant research shows:

"Maca is rich in sterols and has high mineral content, in particular, iron, calcium and copper. Alkaloids are also present…"
Physiological Studies and Determination of Chromosome Number in Maca, Lepidium meyenii by Carlos Quiros, A. Epperson, J. Hu and M. Holle. Econ Bot 50 (2) 216-223, 1996

On the Similarity of Steroidal Compounds from Plants and Hormones it is noted in Herbal Tonic Therapies by Daniel Mowrey:
"Stigmasterol comes about as close as any other plant sterol to being useful in steroid synthesis, but yields what is better called a semi-synthesis. It must be emphasized that there is not an equivalency between plant steroids and human steroids. It takes many synthetic steps to get from one to the other. If the two have steroidal effects on the body, it is because the steroidal precursors have similar effects. The body does not recognize them or mistake them for its own hormones, but uses them in a similar manner."
Herbal Tonic Therapies by Daniel Mowrey, Keats Publishing, 1993, p 289

Rainforest Herbs With Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Rheumatic Properties

Tayuya (Cayaponia tayuya), Iporuru (Alchornea floribunda) Samambaia ( Polypodium lepidopteris), all Amazon wild-crafted botanicals, offer immuno-modulatory and analgesic benefits.

People of the Rainforest have used these herbs for arthritis conditions and healing injuries for millennia, to lessen pain, stiffness and soreness and to speed healing.

Modern uses for these herbs include lessening the trauma of surgery for animals, minimizing the symptoms of age, and recovery for active animals involved in demanding physical pursuits, such as with racehorses.

Rainforest Herbs Now Available in Easy-to-Use Formulas
