Myrrh Gum (Myrrh) 

Today studies have revealed stimulative properties and potential to support the body’s natural state free from excess inflammation, along with many, many other benefits.

Guggul Extract 

From the Ayurvedic tradition, the resin from this flowering plant is rich in antioxidants and a ketonic steroid called guggulsterone. This substance has been extensively studied and evidence exists that it may help support thyroid function and possibly support the body’s natural ability to lower serum triglycerides. 

Bladderwrack 

The source of the first identified iodine in the world, which plays a crucial role in the body’s ability to manufacture and manage thyroid hormones and overall thyroid wellness or function. Because of this, studies have shown it may help support good thyroid function and help promote a healthy weight. It also contains dozens of essential vitamins and minerals in naturally occurring forms. 

Coleus Forskohlii Root Extract 

With over 17,000 studies on this plant, modern science has shown the root to be rich in a diterpenoid called forskolin, the only plant-derived compound science has shown to stimulate adenylate cyclase, an enzyme that helps to boost metabolism.

Thyroid Thrive, which also received the Taste For Life Better Nutrition Award in 2017, joins RidgeCrests’ other award-winning products, bringing RidgeCrest to a total of 19 industry awards in the past 6 years. 

The awards keep coming in for RidgeCrest Herbals! This time it is their ClearLungs Immune that has won the 2019 Immunity Essentials Award in the category of Respiratory Health. 

Ridgecrest Herbals provides several ClearLungs® Formulas to meet individual needs for every circumstance. Their ClearLungs® Immune takes the original ClearLungs® Formula and boosts its immune support for when lung concerns are connected to immune function. It contains the ancient, award-winning ClearLungs® Formula of 13 TCM herbs, with the added Vitamins C and A, Zinc, and Copper to nutritionally support immune function. An additional immune-supporting complex including Ayurvedic and adaptogenic herbs round out the formula, capped off with their patented Availablend, designed to increase the bioavailability of the other herbs.

Elderberry Fruit Extract: Elderberry is a part of TCM as well as traditional European folk medicine. Its dark berries contain quercetin, a common extract used to balance inflammation.

Olive Leaf Extract: Scientific evidence shows the components of the olive leaf can help support a healthy immune response.

Isatis Root Extract: Clinical studies have shown it may have the potential to support the body’s natural state free from inflammation, as well as positive immune response. It is a bitter herb for the liver and stomach meridians.

Andrographis Extract 10%: Scientists around the globe have explored the potential for this herb to possibly support immune function and the body’s natural state free from excess inflammation. 

Mullein Leaf: This herb has been used in every major herbal tradition to soothe the respiratory tract.

The awards keep coming in for RidgeCrest Herbals! This time it is their ClearLungs Liquid that has won the 2019 Taste For Life Back-to-School Essentials Award for Immune Support. 

The ClearLungs formula is Ridgecrest Herbals’ premier product and holds a special place in their heart as the one that started it all back in the ’90s. For years it has been the #1 natural product in the country for lung health. The basis of this formula dates back 2,000 years! In TCM, the lungs are considered the “Upper Source of Water” and Qi flows downward from the lungs. If the lungs fall out of balance, symptoms of stuffy chest, cough, or signs of water stagnation (phlegm, urinary problems, edema, etc.) occur. To support the lungs, bitter herbs are used to encourage a downward flow, and warming herbs increase circulation to the lungs to increase heat. This formula can be taken with their AirwayClear for additional support. Their liquid option provides the same benefits as the Original formula with a pleasant, natural orange flavor for those who don’t like or struggle with taking pills.

Dong Quai Root: Studies show it may help the body to dilate bronchioles to support open airways and encourage circulation to the lungs and respiratory system.

Gardenia Fruit: Commonly used to relieve nasal pressure, to calm the body, and relax muscles.

Chinese Skullcap Root: Contains compounds that support the body’s natural state free from excess inflammation and helps support natural immune function.

Poria Fungal Body: Contains multiple vitamins and other nutrients essential to healthy cardiac function and blood circulation and helps balance electrolytes and revitalizes the spleen for immune support. 

Zhejiang Fritillary bulb: Traditionally used to help reduce mucus, decrease system stagnation, improve the lymphatic system and support overall cardiovascular function.

This is the first award for ClearLungs Liquid, but it the fifth industry award for the ClearLungs family of products, and the 16th award for RidgeCrest Herbals.  

The awards keep coming in for RidgeCrest Herbals! This time it is their ClearLungs Sport that has won the Taste For Life Essentials Award in the category of Sports Performance.

Ridgecrest Herbals provides several ClearLungs Formulas to meet individual needs for every circumstance. Our ClearLungs Sport takes the regular ClearLungs Formula and adds additional herbs like Cordyceps, Rhodiola, and eleuthero root to increase the body’s oxygen use and muscle recovery. In addition, it contains our patented Availablend, a blend of peppers and warming spices designed to increase the bioavailability of other herbs.

INGREDIENT HIGHLIGHTS

ClearLungs Immune includes all 13 of the original ClearLungs® herbs, as well as:

Cordyceps: A form of mushroom, cordyceps have been used both in TCM and Tibetan traditional medicine for at least 600 years. Some research has shown it may help assist with muscle recovery after exertion and support the body’s natural state free from inflammation.

Rhodiola Root: It is now known to have adaptogenic properties and has had over 180 scientific studies internationally. It has been used as a supplement for Russian Olympians and cosmonauts to support physical endurance.

Eleuthero Root: Eleuthero root was the first well-studied adaptogen that promotes the body’s overall capacity to handle non-specific forms of stress.

This is the first award for ClearLungs Sport, but the 14th industry award for RidgeCrest Herbals, which has also won awards for their Anxiety Free, ClearLungs Immune, Essential Eyes, Hair Revive, PhysiQOL, and Thyroid Thrive.

The awards keep coming in for RidgeCrest Herbals! Their Anxiety Free product has won its third award, making a total of thirteen awards for the company in the past four years. This time, Anxiety Free earned the 2018 Remedies Magazine Stress Relief Award, Winner, Nutritional Supplement Category.

Exposure to prolonged levels of stress can have long-term health effects, which is why RidgeCrest Herbals offers Anxiety Free™. It combines vitamins, amino acids, and calming Ayurvedic herbs to help support the body's natural ability to create feelings of inner peace and deep calm. You may notice that the ingredients are similar to their Adrenal Fatigue formula. Both are designed to address stress, but approach it from different angles to meet the needs of the individual’s stress-response. A good rule of thumb is to consider how you respond to stress. Do you get angry? Do you cry? Both? If stress frequently reduces you to tears, the adaptogens in Anxiety Free promotes the body’s overall capacity to handle non-specific forms of stress.

Horsetail is rich in silica, a common trace mineral in natural hair support products.

Stinging Nettle Leaf

Bamboo Stem and Leaf

The awards keep coming in for RidgeCrest Herbals! This time it is their Essential Eyes that has won the Taste For Life Essential Supplements Award in the category of Eye Health.

The Essential Eyes formula takes a nutritive approach to supporting eye health, keeping in mind the stress placed on eyes through overuse of electronics while strengthening supporting systems.

Salt Lake City, UT

RidgeCrest Herbals, the maker of the #1 selling natural herbal lung formula, ClearLungs®, is happy to announce the release of the third annual RidgeCrest Herbals Almanac. 

Nichole Carver, RidgeCrest Herbals' Chief Marketing Officer, says, "The Almanac has always been inspired by the people we love, the things we love, and, ultimately, our love of herbal traditions both new and old. Because it is our passion, we hope to inspire you to continually seek out knowledge and to learn and apply the tools so that this sacred information isn't ever forgotten. Also, it's fun and awesome at the same time. It's FAWESOME!"

In 2016, RidgeCrest Herbals printed its first Almanac with huge success. The reception of the Almanac exceeded all expectations, and the popularity led to a twelve-fold print increase for 2017. The 2018 Almanac marks continued growth with a 25,000 copy print. Will Christensen, RidgeCrest Herbals' President and the creative force behind the Almanac concept notes, 'We believe in transparency in every aspect of what we do, and the Almanac acts as a way to share ourselves and our dedication with our customers. This increased print will help us do that. The first article in our Almanac, written by our Chief Botanical Officer Brittini Gehring, lays out our commitment to Quality, Testing, and Transparency. It acts as our first volley as we work towards 100% transparency with our customers. It is going to be a major endeavor and will take some time, but they can look forward to continued efforts throughout 2018 and beyond to increase the amount of information made public by RidgeCrest so our customers can know absolutely everything about the products they are using for their health."

The Almanac captures the company's character, personality, and culture delightfully. Customers have raved about the stylishly old-fashioned booklet with up-to-date content that acts as a window into the culture of a DIY homesteading, outdoor-loving, family-friendly company in the shadows of the Wasatch mountains. RidgeCrest Herbals' CEO, Matt Warnock, says, "We are a pretty close company, and we feel that moral and spiritual values are important. The Almanac hopefully acts as a reflection of our dedication." The Almanac provides customers with a planning calendar packed with helpful tips, articles, recipes, and beautiful photographs, compliments of RidgeCrest Herbals' team. It also has information on monthly sales, product ingredients, and more. 

RidgeCrest Herbals has partnered with Whole Foods Magazine for their January 2018 edition, and a copy of the Almanac has been distributed to Whole Foods Magazine subscribers along with their regular January magazine. Heather Wainer, Whole Foods Magazine publisher, commented, "We are honored to once again be able to bring you the RidgeCrest Herbals' Almanac with the January issue of Whole Foods Magazine. We love working with all our friends at RidgeCrest and are glad that we can bring our readers such a useful, fun tool. It is obvious when you go through the pages how much work, love, and creativity went into the Almanac from every employee at RidgeCrest, in a way that reflects exactly how we feel about each issue of Whole Foods Magazine.

RidgeCrest is proud to continue offering quality, eclectic, effective formulas to their customers and looks forward to many more awards of excellence in the future.

Beginning in 2017, Ridgecrest Herbals has decided to phase out the homeopathic elements that exist in some of our formulas. We expect the full process to take around two years as we carefully work to replace the homeopathics with equally effective herbal components.Ridgecrest Herbals continues to believe in the effectiveness and benefits of homeopathic remedies, but we feel that in the current hostile regulatory atmosphere it is more beneficial for us as a company to remove homeopathy from our products. This decision has come from a multitude of events in the industry:

• Historically, homeopathic drugs were permitted to indicate suggested uses based on the Homeopathic Pharmacopaeia of the United States (HPUS). These HPUS usage guidelines are based on homeopathic provings, which are fundamentally different in nature than the clinical trials used by conventional drugs. Traditionally, the FTC has not significantly regulated either advertising or labels of homeopathic drugs, leaving the FDA to act as the primary regulatory agency for homeopathy.
• For many years, the FDA has been opposed to combinations of homeopathics with other products such as herbs, because homeopathics are regulated as drugs and herbs are generally regulated as supplements. This makes it difficult to satisfy conflicting regulations with respect to formulation and labeling.
• The FDA has recently taken the position that homeopathics should be subject to identity testing. Because of the nature of the small dosages of the homeopathic tradition, this regulation is impossible to satisfy with current science.
• In November 2016, the Federal Trade Commission announced a new “Enforcement Policy Statement on Marketing Claims for Over-the-Counter Homeopathic Drugs,” stating that “the FTC will hold efficacy and safety claims for OTC homeopathic drugs to the same standard as other products making similar claims.” This position essentially adopts the “clinical-trial” standard applied to pharmaceuticals, and precludes reliance on the HPUS. This will vastly increase the cost of traditional homeopathic medicines, or make it very difficult for manufacturers to describe to consumers what the product is designed for.
• In addition, homeopathy has recently become somewhat of a target for self-appointed “consumer advocates” and professional plaintiffs who prey on parts of the natural products industry that they feel are insufficiently “regulated” or “scientific.”

For all of these reasons, we have decided to discontinue our homeopathic/herbal combination products and focus on our herbal formulas.

History of Homeopathy:

The theory of homeopathy was developed by German Physician Samuel Hahnemann at the turn of the 18th century. He based his theory on the Greek philosophy of “like cures like”, the belief that a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people would cure similar symptoms in sick people. It is believed Hippocrates prescribed a miniscule amount of mandrake root to cure mania, understanding that larger doses would produce mania. The practice was a welcome shift from bloodletting, purging, and medicines that could sometimes include lead, mercury, and opium. It gained popularity throughout the 19th century, and helped pave the way for more scientific approaches to medical treatment. In 1938, before the pharmaceutical industry became powerful as in modern days, the FDA recognized homeopathic preparations as drugs.

Homeopathy Around the World:

Homeopathy is the second most-used natural medical system worldwide (next to Traditional Chinese Medicine), with over 500 million people around the world incorporating it into their healthcare. The World Health Organization has called for a greater acceptance of the practice as well as a push for more evidence-based studies into the practice. In 2004, they produced a comprehensive list of every known study in the world, and concluded that there was much evidence of its effectiveness, though more research was needed. In Europe, homeopathy is supported and is an accepted form of natural practice, and many countries integrate it into their state-subsidized health care systems, reimbursing for care, regulating and protecting homeopathic drugs, and financing research. It is legally recognized in 42 countries, is written into the constitution of Sweden and in Great Britain Queen Elizabeth is a patron of the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital, and her husband, Prince Phillip, has played an active role in promoting the practice.

In the US, however, the road for homeopathics has been much more difficult, as the recent federal developments prove. Natural medical alternatives have little federal lobbying power, and regulations such as these hurt the ability for advocates of natural medicine to offer their services to the general public. As a result, it can be difficult to describe exactly how a product works when you are not allowed to properly or adequately explain what traditional methods, backed by hundreds of years of global efficacy, believes them to do.

Conclusion:

Because of the difficulty of selling products while trying to work around the governmental oversight that does not allow companies to properly describe the effects of their products, Ridgecrest Herbals has found our homeopathic remedies in the crossfire. While homeopathy makes up less than 2% of our products by weight, we do feel that their inclusion leads to better effectiveness than herbal remedies alone. Unfortunately, in light of the current regulatory environment, they simply are not worth the fight. We will be researching herbal alternatives in an attempt to improve on these formulas so they continue to be as effective as we are proud they have always been. For some this will mean including products proven to increase bioavailability, making the already existing ingredients more useful, and for others it may mean integrating new herbs. While we are disappointed at what we see as an over-regulation of the natural products industry, we are committed to providing quality products that meet all federal requirements, and we will work to guarantee our products to be as powerful and effective as ever.

Ridgecrest Herbals makes it a point to lead the Utah supplement industry in our efforts to encourage sustainability, innovate new strategies to reduce waste and support renewable energy. We believe this is a crucial part of our mission as an all-natural herbal remedy provider. We look to nature to find solutions for health issues, and maintain that destroying our environment in the pursuit of profit is unsustainable and at odds with our roles as stewards of nature. We make every effort to improve our processes to reduce our environmental footprint.

• Our warehouse facilities and headquarters are 100% sustainably powered. We support renewable energy and are Visionary-level business partners with Blue Sky, the Rocky Mountain Power initiative to use sustainable energy. On April 18th, we received an award from Blue Sky for our business efforts to promote sustainable, renewable energy.
• We replaced all lighting in our warehouse and offices with LED lights to cut energy waste.
• We use washable towels in our bathrooms, and bamboo forks and spoons are available for staff use in our kitchens, cutting down on paper and plastic waste.
• We utilize recycling bins in the office for all staff waste.
• We train new stores carrying our products with tips and ideas to reuse the boxes our products come in. We use high-quality corrugated cardboard boxes to encourage reuse.
• Our cardboard boxes are made with at least 47% post-consumer waste, and corrugated cardboard is the most successfully recycled material in America, with an average recycle rate of 92.9%.
• Our annual publication for our retailers, the Ridgecrest Herbals Almanac, is full of tips, tricks, recipes, and ideas to encourage those down the supply chain to practice sustainability in their own lives. Some examples include how to ferment your own food, vermicomposting, gardening tips, and more.

We know we can do more, and we are constantly working with our employees to come up with new, innovative ways to increase our sustainability measures. By encouraging participation from our team, we are continuously pushing our mission of sustainability and stewardship to the next level.

Ridgecrest Herbals is thrilled that our PhysiQOL herbal supplement has won the 2017 Taste for Life Essentials Award in the category of Pain Management. This recognition is a tribute to the hard work our company has put into this unique product and the results our customers experience.

In addition to pain management, this formula includes ingredients designed to help bring a sense of calm to help reduce stress for faster recovery, and still others that increase the bioavailability of the product.

The Taste of Life Essentials Award is a great honor, demonstrating the quality and effectiveness of our PhysiQOL product, and places our exclusive solution for natural pain management alongside some of the best products in the industry.

RidgeCrest Herbals Almanac success leads to a new partnership with WholeFoods Magazine and higher production for 2017.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT December 13, 2016 - RidgeCrest Herbals, maker of the #1 natural herbal lung formula, ClearLungs, is happy to announce they have teamed up with WholeFoods Magazine for the production of the annual 2017 RidgeCrest Herbals Almanac publication.

Nichole Carver, the Retailer Marketing Specialist with Ridgecrest Herbals, states, “We’re excited about our partnership with Whole Foods Magazine. They’ve given us the opportunity to get the Almanac into more hands, and then some. If you subscribe to WholeFoods Magazine, you’ll see a copy bundled with the January Issue. And if not, give us a call to get one!”

In 2016, RidgeCrest Herbals printed the first Almanac with huge success. The reception of the Almanac continued to be a hot topic bringing excitement throughout the year, causing demand to exceed the amount printed. RidgeCrest Herbals Chief Marketing Officer, Will Christensen, reported, “Not only was it another fun year with our team writing articles and adding new store and vendor tools, we were taking hundreds of requests for next years’ edition. So much so that we will be printing twelve times as many for 2017.”

Customers could not get enough of the old fashioned, but up to date, booklet filled with interesting, useful - and some not so useful - tidbits of information. The Almanac provides customers with a planning calendar packed with helpful tips, articles, recipes and beautiful photographs, compliments of RidgeCrest Herbals’ team.

Heather Wainer, WholeFoods Magazine publisher, commented, “When I saw the almanac for the first time last year I caught all of Team RidgeCrest’s excitement. It embodies the personality and integrity of the company while providing the retailer with useful information, all in a fun way. Even though we also do a Planning Calendar, I knew that this would be a great companion piece to what we have been doing for years. I love working with all at RidgeCrest and glad that when they came to me questioning if there was a way more people could see the Almanac I had the answer. And I’m so proud that we can do it together. I know our readers will love it as much as we do.”

The Almanac captures the company's character, personality and culture delightfully. As summarized by RidgeCrest Herbals Chief Eclectics Officer and President, Matt Warnock, “We are a pretty close company, and we feel that moral and spiritual values are important, and we can summarize ours in six key areas. The first three describe how we design and produce our products: Eclectic, Innovative, Effective. The next three describe how we treat other people, especially our customers and each other: Trustworthy, Kind, Fun!”

Regulatory changes prompt an updated formula named AirwayClear, formerly known as AsthmaClear.

SALT LAKE CITY, June 24, 2016 - RidgeCrest Herbals has released a new product to replace their popular product AsthmaClear. The new product, called AirwayClear, has almost the same herbal formula as the former AsthmaClear product, but does not contain homeopathics. This change was precipitated by recent FDA statements and enforcement activity taking the position that asthma was not appropriate for over-the-counter (OTC) treatment, and specifically warning against homeopathic OTC treatments, a class that apparently included AsthmaClear. The new AirwayClear formula contains no homeopathics, but contains the exact same herbal blend formerly found in AsthmaClear. It also contains AvailaBlend, a patented natural formula for enhancing potency by increasing bioavailability. Because the new AirwayClear product is regulated as a Dietary Supplement, rather than as a homeopathic drug, the name and UPC code were also changed. You can find the new formula at www.rcherbals.com.

“AsthmaClear has been a consistent top seller for us since 1994, so we don’t take these changes lightly. But because homeopathic medicines are not dose-dependent, the actual change in the new formula was about 2% by weight, “ said Matt Warnock, CEO. “I doubt most existing users will notice a difference in the effectiveness of the formula, and some may actually find it more effective, because of the addition of AvailaBlend. But the change was needed to stay within the changing FDA regulatory framework.”

Customer feedback since the update has been generally positive, although the name and formula change has certainly created some uncertainty as consumers braced for adjustments to a product that they have used and enjoyed for so long. Consumers or dealers with questions about the new formula can call the company help line at 1-800-242-4649.

It was a massive undertaking. The entire company was involved in this effort to develop a closer relationship with our retailers and consumers. I wanted to show everyone what it is like inside the walls of RidgeCrest, but the book ended up being so much more than I planned. It became a way for us to display our passions, not just at work, but also in our personal lives.”

L-Theanine is an amino acid that provides a sense of relaxation within 30-40 minutes, through at least two different mechanisms. First, it stimulates the production of alpha brain waves, creating a state of deep relaxation and mental alertness similar to what is achieved through meditation. Secondly, L-theanine is also involved in the formation of GABA (discussed next).

GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that plays an essential role in increasing alpha relaxing/reflecting) brain waves and decreasing beta (alert/working) waves. It influences the levels of two neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin. Human research shows that GABA not only induces relaxation but also reduces anxiety. These three clinically proven ingredients combined with B-vitamins, Eleuthero, Lemon Balm, Holy Basil and others provide complete system support.

RidgeCrest Herbals' New Thyroid Thrive Joins Company's List Of Top 10 Bestsellers In Record Time

Will Sample at the Natural Products Expo East September 25-28 in Baltimore, Booth #4830

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RidgeCrest Herbals, a creator of eclectic and innovative natural remedies, today announced that its new Thyroid Thrive formula has reached the company's top 10 bestseller list faster than any other product it manufactures. Thyroid Thrive, first announced at Natural Products Expo West last March, is a unique, all-natural herbal and nutritional formula designed to fully support the critical relationship between the thyroid, hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands, so the thyroid can function properly for better overall health and wellness.

In booth #4830, RidgeCrest Herbals will provide samples and a promotion of Thyroid Thrive to help even more retailers get the product to customers with issues related to the thyroid, the key instrument of the body's endocrine system. "While not meant to treat or cure thyroid conditions, Thyroid Thrive is designed to enhance thyroid function while supporting the other organs that work with the thyroid, including the hypothalamus, the pituitary, and the adrenals," said Matt Warnock, president, RidgeCrest Herbals. "Supporting the entire system provides much better results than just supporting one or two parts."

J.M. from Indiana is a customer already recognizing the benefits of adding Thyroid Thrive to his daily routine. "In April of 2013, my thyroid numbers and the goal were rather far apart. After a regimen of B-complex, iodine, a good multivitamin, and Thyroid Thrive, within five weeks I had my numbers right on par." Thyroid Thrive includes:

• Kelp and Bladderwrack, which replenish nutrients and proper iodine stores
• Tyrosine, which helps increase thyroid hormones, as needed
• Ashwaghanda and Myrrh, which work as a team to support the entire intricate glandular system involved with thyroid health. They especially influence the pituitary to release sufficient amounts of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and also work directly on the thyroid. While Ashwaghanda helps the thyroid produce T4, Myrrh helps convert T4 into T3.
• Suma root, an adaptogen that helps the body cope with stressful situations that can compromise the glandular system. It also helps to normalize hormones and support the immune system. Blue Flag, which not only helps to balance thyroid, but also acts as a potent thyroid detoxifier along with burdock and bladderwrack
• Coleus forskolli, which helps to increase the production of thyroid hormones as needed, as well as increase the uptake of iodine. It also helps balance proper weight levels.
• Guggul, which is known for its ability to help keep cholesterol levels within the normal range. It has anti-inflammatory properties, helps calm immune response related to thyroid, and helps regulate thyroid hormone production.
• Thyroid Thrive also contains essential vitamins and minerals that help support thyroid function in multiple ways. The ingredients in Thyroid Thrive are further enhanced with AvailaBlend™, a patent-pending formula to enhance digestion and bioavailability.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA, April 9, 2013 – Shopatron, a leading provider of cloud-based, eCommerce order management solutions, today announced the launch of its newest client in the natural products industry: RidgeCrest Herbals. The Utah-based company, which makes natural remedies for individual health needs such as ClearLungs and Hair ReVive, is now using Shopatron’s unique ecommerce model to drive online sales.

According to RidgeCrest President Matt Warnock, Ridgecrest chose Shopatron because it is the only platform that enables the company to pass online orders to its retail channel for ship-from-store fulfillment. More than 1,000 brands have built their eCommerce initiatives with Shopatron to strengthen relationships with local brick-and-mortar retailers.

“Shopatron is a whole new way to support and grow our network of knowledgeable local retailers,” Warnock said. “For years, we have been concerned that Internet sales were undermining local retailers, who often help customers discover natural products that meet their specific needs. Shopatron connects Internet shoppers with knowledgeable local retailers.

Today, Matt Warnock and Will Christensen from Ridgecrest Herbals were both present as Utah Governor Gary Herbert declared February 8 as Dietary Supplement Industry Day in Utah. Ridgecrest Herbals was one of ten companies selected to represent the Utah natural products industry at a legislative luncheon and signing of a declaration.

Governor Herbert's declaration noted that Utah's dietary supplement companies produced a 6.2 billion dollar revenue in Utah for 2011 with more than 20,000 direct employees and 15,000 indirect employees. There are 170 companies operating in Utah, and Ridgecrest Herbals is proud to have participated at today's activities!

Blood Pressure Formula has been a best-seller since its introduction. The new formula is now vegan and will be available during Q1, 2012. Watch for more updates!

Blood Pressure Formula is a unique combination of Chinese herbal ingredients used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support healthy blood pressure levels. TCM focuses on helping the body properly regulate its own mechanisms, instead of trying to overpower or bypass them. As a result, Blood Pressure Formula helps control blood pressure that is already within the normal range, and can be safely used whether blood pressure levels are moving higher, lower, or are just erratic.
