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 &
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…"

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."

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
Animals respond well to powerful synergistic
blends of Rainforest herbs. You can better
assist your clients and enhance your
practice with these formulas.
Please contact us. We can share with how we
effectively use formulas in our own
