KEENMIND

Hi I just read the article published in the Australian today.

Two clinical trials using a special extract of Brahmi - KeenMind - have shown improved memory! It also talks about how most herbs sold in Australia lack real proof that they work. Of course Bacopa KeenMind is available on www.natrx.com.au because this shop specialises in clinically proven natural therapies that really work. With KeenMind you need to take it for at least 3 months. NatRx offers a special deal for members, buy 3 get 1 free.

I've used it and am pleasantly surprised by it's effects. It really does work!

Australian consumers of complementary medicines

The National Prescribing Service - NPS have just published their findings from a telephone survey and in depth interviews with consumers of complementary medicines (CM).

"This research showed that many consumers:
  • Are not aware of the side effects of some complementary medicines and their potential interaction with conventional medicines - this may put some users at unnecessary risk of harm.
  • Are using some complementary medicines for general wellbeing or to prevent illness despite a lack of evidence for this.
  • Do not always discuss the use of complementary medicines with their doctors.
  • Are reliant on sources of information about complementary medicines that are of variable quality, reliability and authority."

To all the Australian consumers out there.... is this true for you?

Product Specific Evidence for Natural Therapies

Product specific evidence: aka NOT ALL GENERIC MEDICINES ARE THE SAME

Product Specific Evidence means that means that the exact herbal product is the one used in the clinical trial.

At NatRx we aim to offer as many products as possible that have a high level of evidence to show that they work.
