No, we do not sell to the General Public from our location. We are a manufacturing facility and we are not open to the General Public.
All orders are shipped out by our shipping department. We do not allow order pickup or in-person order placement by wholesalers as we are mainly a manufacturing facility.
Manufacturing
Not really. It is a well known fact that many people are deficient in their ability to secrete hydrochloric acid in the stomach. In cases such as these, tablets may not dissolve completely and hence may not be absorbed completely. Capsules on the other hand are made of gelatin which dissolves completely in water and are not dependent on stomach acid content. On average approximately 40% of a tablet may be comprised of binding material. In capsules, binders are not needed so that 100% of the interior of the capsule can be used to hold active ingredients. In the production of tablets a lot of heat is generated as a byproduct of the tabletting process. This heat can potentially damage the finished product. For this reason products such as probiotics should never be tabletted. In the encapsulation process heat production is usually not an issue.
Liquid extracts are more easily absorbed in the digestive tract. Bulk herbs must first be broken down to extract the active ingredients from the herb, which can then be absorbed from the digestive tract into the body. Humans do not have the enzymes that breakdown the plant cell walls, thus we can only obtain a small quantity of the active ingredients if we have to digest the raw herbs. Liquid extracts contain larger quantities of active medicinal compounds than other preparations. The process of manufacturing powdered extracts is very expensive. Thus the amount of active compound placed into a capsule may not contain the same amount of active ingredients as a liquid preparation. Lastly, liquid preparation methods have been well tested over centuries. In all societies medicinal herbs were usually prepared as a liquid preparation. The history of the effectiveness of the herbs is based on liquid herbal preparations.
Many liquid herbal preparations at first do not taste good. However, your taste buds adjust quite quickly to the taste. (For example, there are very few people who enjoy the taste of beer the very first time it is tried. With time and repeated exposure these same individuals often come to crave the taste of beer.) One can mask the taste of liquid herbal preparations by adding them to fruit juice such as apple juice. Dilution is not an issue because the dosage of the liquid herbal preparation consumed remains the same whether it is diluted. Try adding any liquid extract to about a ¼ cup of your favourite juice; drink it, then follow with more juice and you will find that liquid extracts are not that bad AND you will be assured to absorb more of the active ingredients.

In general alcohol stresses the liver. While Liver Flush and our other Flush products will not adversely interact with alcohol, the consumption of alcohol could potentially worsen existing problems depending on the quantity and frequency of consumption.
Liver Flush is very safe to use. There is no established maximum dose with the use of Liver Flush although 1 to 4 tablespoons per day should be sufficient for the average adult in good health.
Liver Plus may be used in conjunction with Liver Flush because its primary effect is to support the liver by providing antioxidants that target the liver.
