The Wonderful World of Herbs – Part I

In this 50-minute webinar we welcome NOW Nutrition expert Neil E. Levin, CCN, DANLA as he introduces us to the wonderful world of herbs and botanicals in Part I of this 3-part series.

Herbs and botanicals, including mushrooms have been used for thousands of years by herbalists in many different traditional health systems. They are naturally teeming with phytonutrients that work together to bring about specific beneficial effects as well as overall well-being.

Today's mainstream use of herbs is becoming increasingly popular and there are many herbal products to choose from. With so many choices, it's easy to get confused about which forms of herbs are right for you. One important decision is whether to use whole herbs or standardized herbal extracts. This can be tricky, because even the experts are split on this issue. Therefore, it is best to know the facts and the differences between the two so you can make an informed decision.
