Guest guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I was wondering if most of your supplies come from bulk foods health food stores etc? I'm getting ready to order some herbs to make some in the next couple days. I'm running low and need a new supply. I get my organic herbs from Mountain Rose Herbs. For Total Nutrition I don't get the whole herb...I order it in powder form. They offer most of their herbs either whole, cut or powdered. I order 1/2 pound of 11 different herbs and it makes 5.5 pounds of Total Nutrition. That lasts me quite awhile. Gloria ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 If I may ask, and you can answer me privately, how much does this cost you? Right now I've calculated that getting 8 oz. of 11 different herbs is going to cost about $86 including shipping. Gloria ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I am very interested in making my own, have not been satisfied with the store bought brands out here.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Yes . I don't know i guess it depends on what quantity you are making... meaning a part being 1/4 cup or 1 whole cup. depends on the amount of volume. How long it lasts... depends on whether you're taking 1 or 2 tbsp and if you're taking it every day. deuteronomy2929 <deuteronomy2929@...> wrote: This is by volume, not by weight, is that correct? When you make it, how many ounces of end-product would you estimate you have, and how long does it last?Peace, love, laughter We won't tell.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Please forgive me if I am asking questions that have already been answered, but where do you order from? And can you order in smaller quantities? ...I order from Mountain Rose Herbs Mountain Rose Herbs | Bulk organic herbs, spices & essential oils They sell their bulk herbs in 4oz., 8oz. or 16 oz. quantities.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 So I'll be placing my order tomorrow!! ...Mountain Rose has an on-line catalog. I usally make up my list and then call their 800 number and place the order over the phone. Just make sure you order the powder version of the herb. I once ordered reishi mushroom and they sent me the whole dried mushroom. My mistake. It's huge and hard as a rock and I haven't been able to make a dent in cutting it. For Total Nutrition think POWDER form. Then I take about a half cup of each herb, put it all in an airtight container and keep doing that with more batches until there is none left. I throw in extra wheat grass so I get a whole pound of that. Gloria ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have orderd many different things form Mountain Rose, and I like them very much! Aren't they great? I order all my herbs from them. They are super nice people and the herbs are fresh and good quality. Very good prices for organic.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Do you use a capsule machine? I am looking at the one at Mtn Rs Hbs now, and it looks pretty good. What size capsules do you use? Ya know what???... I almost bought that capsule machine from Mtn.Rose then changed my mind. I bought the "00" capsules but decided I'll fill them by hand like I've been doing for years. So I haven't tried the machine. Gloria ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I love them. Good quality, great service, and they are local to me. I like that I can by a huge quantity or small according to my needs. Great company.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I have. It works just fine and is a little faster than doing them by hand The catalog says you can fill 24 capsules in 2 minutes. It takes me much longer to fill that many by hand. I'd love to be able to order a ton of stuff from them but I have to keep a budget and stick to what is a priority right now. Total Nutrition is something I don't want to run out of so the whole order was basically those herbal powders. Oh...I also ordered a pound of organic tumeric from them....that's what I'll put in capsules. Gloria ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I have. It works just fine and is a little faster than doing them by hand. I bought the smaller cap size one because I have problems swallowing bigger pills. Lately though I have been lazy and just ordered the herbs I need pre-packed in capsules and ready to take. I have yet to be disappointed in anything I have gotten from them though. Janet From: health [mailto:health ] On Behalf Of MorningGlory113@...

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Is the machine you are talking about a capsule holder that you fill the bottoms then cap them? It surely takes me longer than 2 minutes to make 24 of them. I think this is the machine they're talking about.
