Baicalinis the primary ingredient in Scutellaria baicalensis, also known simply as Scute. Baicalin has become one of the most popular nutraceuticals of our era. The root of Scutellaria is one of Asia’s most revered herbs, used for over 2,000 years. The root is rich in baicalin, a highly protective natural ingredient. This product contains 125 mg of Baicalin per capsule in a base of whole Scutellaria baicalensisextract. The Scutellaria extract contains Scutellaria total flavonoids which may support neuronal functions, plus many other constituents found in raw Scutellaria. Baicalin is currently being used to support neurological and cognitive functions, among other uses. Baicalin appears to involve intestinal microflora for its metabolism into baicalein, the most active metabolite of baicalin. Baicalin is calming. Baicalin in the blood can cross the blood brain barrier, although it does not appear to be at the same concentration in the brain and the blood. Baicalin activates AMPK, an enzyme that plays a role in cellular energy homeostasis. Since this product is made with both purified baicalin and with Scutellaria baicalensisextract, it contains all the constituents of Scutellaria baicalensis. Scutellaria extract has shown memory supporting properties.
Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word –Compliance. If you don’t take the herbs, they won’t work.”
Dragon Herbs practices Tonic Herbalism, which is based on a 5000 year old system of health promotion, protection, and psychological transformation.
The highest level of health care stresses the promotion of positive health as the primary goal. When sufficiently nurtured, our body is fully capable of regulating its own multitude of independent yet united functions, the way nature intended. Science has not been able to, and will never be able to, match that power of Nature. The herbs used for this approach have traditionally been called the superior herbs, but today they are called the tonic herbs. The utilization of the tonic herbs is called Tonic Herbalism.
The tonic herbs are the elite herbs of the Chinese herbal system, the most fully developed herbal system in the world. The Chinese tonic herbs have always held a very special place in Asian culture. These very special natural substances have been associated with the highest qualities of living. The tonic herbs are not harsh and are not specifically medicinal in the conventional sense.
Tonic herbs come from China. They also come from North and South America, Europe, Indonesia, Tibet, Bhutan, Africa, New Zealand, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Russia and almost every region of the world. Tonic herbs are by their very nature safe and may be used for a lifetime.
