Herbal Supplements gathers our plant-based food supplements in one place: ashwagandha, berberine and turmeric, ginseng and bacopa, plus milk thistle, maca, tribulus, boswellia, oregano, horsetail and lion's mane. Most come as capsules from Essensey, NOW Foods, Trec Nutrition, OstroVit and Source Naturals, with a few gummies and liquids.
Beyond those four sections you will find NOW Foods Milk Thistle with Artichoke & Dandelion and Essensey Milk Thistle 500mg, Essensey Maca, Tribido Max Tribulus and Boswellia Serrata, NOW Foods Oregano 450mg, OstroVit Horsetail and OstroVit Lion's Mane Extract powder, and Nature's Answer Astragalus Root as a 30ml liquid.
