Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a natural and safe way to achieve hormone balance. Both men and women can benefit from natural hormone replacement therapy. Bio-identical hormones are used to relieve symptoms of menopause, andropause, hysterectomies, and hyperthyroidism, as well as similar hormone imbalances when exercise and a good diet are not enough.

Hormone levels fluctuate throughout life causing imbalances to occur at different times which can cause many life impacting symptoms such as:

We are teaming up with a global leader in anti-aging, NuSkin Enterprises. Their patented products include the Galvanic Spa System II, ageLOC, and TruFace Essence Ultra.
The Galvanic Spa is the only hand held device that can deliver a galvanic current. With this system, you can have the benefits of spa treatments in the comfort of your own home for a fraction of the cost and time. For more information about this revolutionary product visit www.nsevideos.com.
Nu Skin's patented ageLOC technology actually stops the activity of the aging enzyme (arNOX) in the skin, as demonstrated by a 3rd party clinical study at Stanford University. Combine this technology with the Galvanic Spa, and watch lines, wrinkles, and acne vanish! For more information on ageLOC visit http://www.ageloc.com/.
In addition to stopping the aging process in your skin, we can reverse signs of aging by using NuSkin's TruFace Essence Ultra; another patented formula containing 75% ethocyn and 25% antioxidants. Ethocyn returns elasticity to skin cells. A study conducted by UCLA found that participants between the ages of 40-77 who used Tru Face Essence Ultra twice a day for 60 days regained the skin elastin fiber of a twenty year old. Ethocyn is FDA approved and works in 99.99% of users. For more information, visit http://www.ethocyninfo.com/home.php. Call to Inquire!

We feel that it is important to supply our customers with many different options in order to find the best solution for each individual. One way we do this is by carrying a large selection of homeopathic medications. Homeopathic medicines are natural ways to relieve common cough and cold symptoms, as well as help treat teething, snoring, and stress, among other ailments, without the nasty side-effects. These natural medicines included Emergen-C, Airborne, and many other products produced by Bioron, Euro Pharma, and HealthAid.
New to our selection of homeopathic remedies are two new pain-relieving products. If you have chronic inflammatory pain and are worried about the effects of taking NSAID's over a long period of time, you should try Zyflamend or Curamin. Curamin contains the herb turmeric, also known as "Indian Solid Gold," which has been found to quickly relieve pain (in as little as 30 minutes) without the side effects of over-the-counter pain relievers. These products are both safe and effective. Come in to find out if you could benefit from herbal pain relievers!
