Embracing the Wisdom of Nature

In the spirit of Chinese medicine and Daoist philosophy, we recognize the importance of harmonizing with nature’s rhythms and embracing the concept of continual growth and refinement. Just as the seasons transition and the elements maintain balance, we too are committed to evolving our products to achieve greater efficacy and purity.

Our Ongoing Enhancements

Our dedication to improving our products is rooted in traditional wisdom and modern science. By focusing on Daodi sourcing and the Jun-Chen-Zuo-Shi formulation principle, we ensure our products are effective and aligned with both herbal traditions and scientific rigor.

Here are some of our latest introductions, showcasing these advancements:

Arrow of Eros Vital Fire Elixir Tincture

A long-time customer favorite, our Arrow of Eros Vital Fire Elixir Tincture now features the enticing pure essential oil Spiced Winter Chai flavor, enhancing its appeal. This Jing Shen aphrodisiac elixir is crafted with love and was one of the first formulas we integrated Pine Pollen into back in 2012.

Over the years, we have refined this elixir, shifting from a more Western Herbalism approach to a Classical Chinese Medicine Jun-Chen-Zuo-Shi formulation, with influences from Ayurveda and Western Herbalism. Designed to ignite the vital fire within, this product differs from our other offerings.

While most of our products are adaptogenic tonics intended for daily use and long-term benefits, this elixir is meant for use when its aphrodisiac qualities are desired. This intoxicating elixir is crafted to spark vitality and passion whenever needed.

Forest Aurum Pine Pollen Nectar Tincture

Due to the significant cost and labor involved, we believe our Forest Aurum Pine Pollen Nectar Tincture is the only true 2:1 Pine Pollen Tincture, made from pure RAW Pine Pollen™. 

Forest Aurum Pine Pollen Nectar Tincture is a dual-stage extraction tincture, at a 2:1 potency, setting the benchmark for Pine Pollen Tinctures. Enhanced with our Warm Citrus Ginger flavor, it exemplifies our extraction expertise and dedication to quality.

This tincture contains four times as much RAW Pine Pollen™ as our already potent Forest Manna Royal Pine Pollen Tincture. The process involves two rounds of tincturing, doubling the labor but resulting in a product that stands out as Pine Pollen Nectar. We offer this tincture just above our cost to ensure accessibility while maintaining our high standards. 

Forest Prana Pine Pollen Extract Capsules and Powder

Our Forest Prana Pine Pollen Extract is crafted with our exclusive Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen™ in an ultra-pure Chun Fen extract powder at a potent 50:1 concentration. This product embodies our commitment to excellence and superior products.

Our Pine Pollen Extract strikes a harmonious balance between the functional nutrition properties of RAW Pine Pollen™ and the targeted phytoandrogens found in Pine Pollen Tincture. Utilizing our own pure RAW Pine Pollen™ as the foundation, we concentrate it into an ultra-pure Chun Fen (纯粉) extraction, ensuring a full-spectrum Pine Pollen Extract.

This formulation is ideal for those who seek to harness Pine Pollen's adaptogenic properties rather than using it solely as a functional food or for its phytoandrogens. Forest Prana Pine Pollen Extract is perfect for supporting overall vitality and well-being, reflecting our dedication to quality and innovation in every capsule and powder.

Lost Desert Oasis Cistanche Tubulosa Extract Capsules and Powder

Our Lost Desert Oasis Cistanche Tubulosa Extract is now available in ultra-pure Chun Fen extract powder and capsules. With a 50:1 concentration, this exceptional supplement reflects our unwavering dedication to providing powerful and effective products.

Since its first introduction over 12 years ago at RAW Forest Foods, our admiration for this extraordinary herb has only grown. Cistanche Tubulosa is renowned for its balanced and refined properties, making it a superior tonic. Traditionally used to support Kidney Yang (Shèn Yáng), essence (Jīng), and Marrow (Suǐ), it also nourishes the body's fluids—the Yin—without the stimulatory or drying effects often associated with other adaptogens like Chinese Ginseng.

Initially launched as a 10:1 extract, our offering has evolved to include this ultra-pure Chun Fen 50:1 full-spectrum extract. Available in both powder and capsule form, our Cistanche Tubulosa Extract continues to set the standard for quality and potency in phytotherapeutic supplements.

Tahna Prana Elevated Tongkat Ali Extract Powder

Tahna Prana Elevated Tongkat Ali Extract is the finest Tongkat Ali we’ve experienced. But of course, we’re biased. So here’s a little more about it:

To create a truly unparalleled product, we blend this full-spectrum extract in equal parts with an extract standardized to Eurycomanone, the quassinoid renowned for its proandrogenic properties. This approach honors the plant's wisdom, maintaining its role as a holistic adaptogen while amplifying the specific proandrogenic benefits of Eurycomanone.

Authentic Tongkat Ali contains 65 distinct quassinoids that work in symphonic harmony, offering not only superior proandrogenic phytotherapy but also serving as a broader, more holistic adaptogen. Our unique extract begins with mature, wild-harvested Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia), a rare and potent starting material. We then perform a concentrated 200:1 extraction to capture the full spectrum of quassinoids and other beneficial compounds.

Tahna Prana Elevated Tongkat Ali Extract Powder reflects our commitment to quality, integrity, and the profound healing power of nature.

Twelve Rivers MycoMedic Functional Mushroom Elixir Tincture

Our Twelve Rivers MycoMedic Functional Mushroom Elixir Tincture is now available with our own pure essential oil Spiced Winter Chai flavor.

This tincture embodies our commitment to purity and potency, providing an exceptional dual-stage extraction process. By utilizing both alcohol and decoction methods, we break down the chitin cell walls of the mushrooms, extracting the full spectrum of beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and terpenes that are naturally present but not bioavailable without proper extraction.

Twelve Rivers is uniquely formulated in the Jun-Chen-Zuo-Shi tradition, ensuring a balanced and synergistic blend. The addition of our pure essential oil Spiced Winter Chai flavor makes this tincture delightful on its own in a bit of water, superb mixed into your morning coffee, and even used as a sophisticated alternative to standard angostura bitters in cocktails.
