Exploring Herbs: What’s In Our Supplements?

Jason Winters International offers a variety of herbal supplements, each of which was created specifically by Sir Jason Winters himself, and developed to help people reduce their deficiencies of important vitamins.

super saleWe wanted to feature some of the herbs in our Golden Lion, Formula 93 and The Ultimate Combination supplements to give a better idea of what the herbs do and how they help orchestrate a larger positive impact on the body.

Below are some of the herbs featured in our blends. You just might find that one of these is exactly what you’re looking for!


A Closer Look At Burdock

Burdock is a root that has often been used for medicinal reasons. We feature this herb in our capsules that we call “The Ultimate Combination“, or TUC. TUC provides you with some of the strongest, and healthiest, herbs out there – all in one capsule.

There are dozens of potential benefits to including burdock in your diet. Common uses for burdock include fighting bacteria. Some people use it to treat acne or inflammation, but these effects will vary from person to person.

One thing that’s for sure is that burdock is an excellent source of potassium, vitamin C and vitamin E. Also, burdock is stuffed with inulin, a helpful polysaccharide that helps “clean” blood. Inulin is used to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

The Mysterious Gotu Kola

Gotu KolaThere are plenty of different names for this herb, but Gotu Kola tends to be the most common. It’s been used for centuries to treat infections, and it’s been used recently to fight diseases and illnesses such as the flu, the cold, tuberculosis and more.

It’s just one part of Jason Winters “The Ultimate Combination.” We hope you enjoy the benefits of this herb as much as we do!

Elecampane: The Herb That Launched A Thousand Ships

ElecampaneBelieved to aid with respiratory problems, the elecampane root is a natural solution to getting rid of microbes and fungus, some of the things that could be causing you to cough. It also has a soothing effect, bound to make you feel even better throughout the day.

If you have a bad cough, elecampane root might be the herb to use. You can find it in our TUC supplement, along with many other healing herbs. Fun fact: elecampane’s classification is inula helenium, named after Helen of Troy who was said to carry the plant with her!

Adding More Ginseng To Your Diet

ginsengGinseng is hard to find in a lot of foods, however, it’s an excellent herb that we wanted to make sure tea drinkers and supplement takers had access to, and it’s a main component in our Golden Lion supplement.

Ginseng can do plenty for your body, including potential y reducing cholesterol and blood pressure. However, there are other reasons that ginseng is so popular. Sir Jason Winters included it in his Golden Lion supplement because ginseng can be a natural source of energy. Historically, people have used ginseng to sharpen their mind and reduce fatigue. This is an incredible herb when it comes to energy, perfect for any guy who wants to get more out of their day.

Adding The Superfood Fenugreek

fenugreekOne of the greatest things about fenugreek is that it’s a bit of a superfood on its own. You can get tons of protein, fiber, iron, vitamin B6, magnesium and copper from just a little bit of the seed – a big reason it was added to our Golden Lion supplement.

Fenugreek is most popular among men since it can help with problems specific to men, much like most of the herbs found in the Golden Lion supplement. It also can help regulate insulin levels for those with diabetes or lower blood sugar.

Sage: A Classic Herb

sageA main component in the Jason Winters tea blends is sage, something which we’ve added to our Formula 93 supplement as well. You probably know sage for its distinct flavor and delicious tones when you’re preparing a tea or a meal. But there are plenty of other reasons to get excited about sage.

While many of the herbs, vitamins and minerals in the Formula 93 are meant to cleanse your body, sage can help cleanse your mind as well. Historically, sage has been used to stimulate the brain and clarify thinking. Of course, sage also can release the free radicals in your body that you want to get rid of. It’s a do-everything type of herb that you definitely want to have!

Red Clover: A Popular Herb Choice

red CloverWhile there are many suspected health benefits of red clover, people like it because it’s just an awesome herb – both for your health and for flavor. We decided to include red clover in our Formula 93 supplement because it has so many small benefits.

There’s some evidence that red clover can be used to treat a number ailments. It’s exciting to think about what red clover might be able to do.

Red clover is stuffed full of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, calcium and more. These vitamins and minerals are proven to help keep your body strong and healthy, and they can help immensely with the detoxifying process.

tea vs coffee

To Tea or Not to Tea?

If you’re like 80% of Americans, you’re not drinking tea every day. And that’s too bad, because you are missing out! Here are some pretty amazing reasons to drink tea.

It’s Easier Than Coffee…
This goes out to all you java hounds. To brew that bitter drink you enjoy every morning, you need a whole machine. And some people even find the need to grind their own beans. Stop right there. For tea, all you need is some boiling water, tea leaves and a cup to drink it in. Perfection in simplicity.

Fix Your Bad Breath

tea or coffeeEver had a coworker give you a grimace? It might be your (bad) breath at fault. But did you know that drinking black tea can help combat halitosis? Researchers at the University of Illinois have found that drinking black tea can slow down the formation of plaque causing bacteria and help prevent periodontal disease! And since tea is also a natural source of fluoride, it can reduce the incidence of cavities. Now there’s something coffee can’t do…

Calm Down!

We’ve all been there. A stressful day made even worse by the inability to fall asleep. Now, while some may resort to prescription drugs to get some much needed rest, you really don’t have to.
We find that there’s just something instantly soothing about steeping a cup of aromatic herbal tea. You can give your body and mind the support it needs with the right herbal teas. With a sip at a time, you can release tension and stop the negative thought cycles that impede you from a good night’s sleep.

Abundance of Antioxidants

There has been copious research done on the antioxidants inherent in tea. To put it simply, drinking tea can increase your protection against many different types of cancers. And it can also reduce the risk of Parkinson’s disease.

Allergies Be Gone!

If you’re like many people throughout the world, you probably suffer from seasonal allergies. Well, then you might want to start your day with tea.

Heart Healthy and Skin Healthy

A recent study found that people who drank tea daily were 35% less susceptible to having a heart attack. And they were less prone to calcium buildups in the coronary arteries. The antioxidants in tea have been shown to combat free radicals, the agents responsible for damaging our skin. It can also help hydrate the skin and offers protection against ultraviolet rays.

That Is the Question!
The answer is obvious: drink tea! The health benefits are innumerable and it has a complexity of flavor that nothing else can match.

Green Tea Can Lead To Weight Loss – Here’s How

If you’re looking for an easy way to help lose some weight, then you might want to pay more attention to what you’re drinking.

Green tea is proven to help with weight loss, just adding to the many benefits of the delicious drink. When consumed correctly, green tea boosts metabolism and breaks down fatty cells to help cut pounds.

Green Tea’s Many Health Benefits

asian green teaTea drinkers already know that tea is one of the healthiest drinks around, but green tea is often viewed as the healthiest of all the varieties.

One of the main components of green tea that helps cut weight is caffeine. When caffeine is consumed, it stimulates the body. While most people recognize the boost in energy, this also means an increased metabolism and a quicker rate of burning fat.

Also found in green tea leaves are catechins, specifically epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG. EGCG is the leading chemical when it comes to weight loss in green tea as it helps increase metabolic health. It doesn’t hurt that it’s also great for your heart!

It Depends On What You’re Drinking

Even though green tea is best for weight loss, the type of green tea your drinking could be holding you back.

Studies show that ground green tea leaves produce healthier tea than normal leaves. This is because you end up ingesting more parts of the leaf if it’s ground up, leading to more exposure to the healthy chemicals found in green tea.

Specific blends can also help increase weight loss over normal green teas. By adding other substances to your drink, you can get the same weight loss benefits while adding nutrients that can burn fat.

Make Sure You’re Brewing Green Tea The Right Way

Green Tea Can Lead To Weight Loss – Here’s HowBecause green tea is a so versatile, there are plenty of ways to prepare it. However, if you’re looking to shed some weight, you might want to consider changing how you’re brewing your tea.

While every tea should be brewed differently, there are a few steps you should follow to make sure you are optimizing it for weight loss.

First off, make sure that you let your water cool for a bit after you bring it to a boil. Boiling hot water can damage the EGCG in tea, and that means that each cup you drink isn’t doing as much for your metabolism as it could. Let your tea soak into the water for at least a minute before drinking.

If you’re looking for maximum weight loss, you may also want to cut any additives you’re putting in tea. Sugar and honey go great with tea, but they could work against the catechins and weight loss benefits you’re looking for.

Just A Small Amount Works

Those working on losing weight know that big changes are often necessary for even the smallest results. However, this isn’t quite the case with green tea.

Drinking 2-3 cups of green tea a day can give you all the benefits you need to help with weight loss. The best part is that is on its own, green tea doesn’t work against your daily calorie count.

A healthy lifestyle can benefit from adding just a little bit of green tea every day. There’s nothing in a cup of tea that can hurt, but the benefits are immense!

The Biggest Differences Between Green Tea And Black Tea

Tea is already popular around the world, and it’s starting to gain even more popularity among coffee lovers. Not only can it give you that morning boost, but tea also provides plenty of health benefits that coffee cannot.

Those who are new to tea drinking will likely be picking between green or black tea. While the two have a lot in common, there are slight differences that may make you want to check out before committing to one or the other.

What They Have In Common

 Even though the end products are different, green and black tea come from the same place. Both are harvested from an evergreen shrub called the camellia sinesis, also known as the tea shrub. Green and black tea both come from the leaves of the tree shrub, but once the leaves are harvested, the process for making different types of tea varies.

Because they come from the same plant, they have some common benefits. Both green and black tea are proven to be healthier options than coffee, but they provide different health benefits. Green and black tea are also roughly equivalent when it comes to caffeination, but that largely depends on the quality and type of tea you purchase.

 Flavor

 One of the biggest differences between black tea and green tea is the flavor. A lot of the flavor comes from the way the two teas are made.

Black tea is made by oxidizing the leaves of a tea shrub. This means that after the leaves are picked, they’re left to dry in the sun, or they’re put in a machine that dries them out. As they dry, the leaves gradually turn black – the same way a fruit turns brown and black as it sits out. This can make black tea taste sweeter than green tea.

Green tea also comes from tea leaves, but the leaves are prepared differently. After they’re picked, the leaves are immediately heated. This keeps the leaves fresher, and it retains the color, and natural flavor, of the tea shrub. Those who drink green tea prefer it because of its natural flavor.

When it comes to superior flavor, it all depends on your personal palette.

Health Benefits

 You’ll be getting health benefits no matter which tea you choose, but there’s much more evidence to back up the benefits of green tea than black tea. While both are stuffed full of antioxidants, green tea is widely thought to be more effective at potentially reducing the risk of cancer and heart problems.

The difference comes from the way the teas are prepared. Since green tea is closer to the natural leaf, it will carry more of the beneficial ingredients. Black tea still retains some of these elements, but green tea has a more concentrated amount.

Which Is Better?

 If you’re shopping purely for flavor, then you should try both green and black tea before making a judgment. But if you’re looking for the added health benefits, green tea is probably the right choice. While black tea is certainly a healthy option, most studies available suggest green tea is better for you than black tea.

Tea vs Coffee: Which Keeps You Going?

Be honest: the number one reason you drink tea or coffee is for the energy. While tea and coffee come in different types and flavors to fit any needs, the reason we buy it is generally the same. A lot of us need a pick-up in the morning, and tea and coffee are one of the best ways to get an extra boost of energy.

But when it comes to tea and coffee, which is going to keep you going for longer? While a caffeinated beverage is important, your daily energy comes down to more than just caffeine levels. Find out which morning drink is going to give you the best boost throughout your day! 

Caffeine Is King

tea-vs-coffee-which-keeps-you-goingThe biggest reason your tea or coffee is giving you energy is because of the caffeine. Caffeine, as you probably know, is the chemical in tea and coffee that gives you energy. But the types of tea and coffee you drink, and the way they’re prepared, will determine the amount of caffeine you get in each cup.

If you want the most caffeinated beverage, you’ll want to go with brewed coffee. Filtered coffee takes a close second to brewed coffee in terms of caffeine per mg, and instant coffee comes in a third.

Black tea, the most caffeinated tea option, is the fourth most caffeinated drink when compared to coffee. Oolong and green tea have less caffeine than black. And Herbal tea has zero caffeine. Of course, the amount of caffeine per cup depends on the type of beans you’re roasting or leaves you’re brewing, but since coffee is brewed to be much more potent than tea, the result is a more caffeinated serving in your cup of coffee than in your tea.

 Staying Hydrated

 There’s a lot more in your drink than just caffeine. Studies show that staying hydrated throughout the day is the best way to keep energized. But this doesn’t mean you should abandon your tea or coffee for a morning glass of water.

Tea and coffee are both over 99% water, meaning that you’ll be getting hydrated as you’re drinking either one. While you’ll need a lot more water than they can provide, it just goes to show that both tea and coffee can help increase your daily energy in multiple ways.

Best For A Long Day

Caffeine wears off, but it tends to wear off faster is you’re drinking coffee. Coffee is full of depressants, and it could lead to a longer day. These depressants won’t affect your mood, but they will naturally reduce your energy levels. The more coffee you drink, the more likely you are to lose energy at some point during the day.

Tea drinkers don’t have to worry about this issue as much as coffee drinkers. The only depressing effect tea can cause is the sensation of caffeine getting flushed out. However, coffee drinkers also have to deal with this issue in addition to the natural depressants.

If you have a long day ahead of you, tea is going to be the better option. For an ideal energy boost, grab some green tea leaves, brew a strong cup and stay hydrated throughout the day!

Tea vs Coffee: A Healthier Option

Tea vs Coffee: A Healthier Option

Many people default to drinking coffee in the morning. Depending on the type of coffee you drink, there are some health benefits to drinking java to start your day. But would you be any healthier if you switched to tea in the morning instead?

The answer, it turns out, is yes. Tea provides plenty health benefits that coffee can’t, and you can radically change your daily health by switching to tea. While you may not be willing to abandon coffee entirely, you can still enjoy the health benefits of tea by adding a cup to your daily routine.

Weight Loss

There’s plenty of evidence to suggest that coffee can help with weight loss, but the effects are minimal. The caffeine in coffee helps gives your metabolism a boost throughout the day, but your body will gradually grow accustomed to it. This means that any weight loss caused by coffee is temporary.

Weight loss caused by drinking coffee also depends on the type of coffee you drink. Black coffee is by far the healthiest, but adding cream, sugar or flavors from their will only make your morning drink less healthy – and potentially unhealthy.

Green tea is a perfect replacement for coffee if you’re looking to lose some extra weight, as the flavonoids in the tea help improve your metabolism. Also, there are no additional calories in tea, unlike any spruced-up coffee drink you may have in the morning.

Better For Your Smile

Coffee’s effects on your smile and dental health are clear. Teeth are easily stained by coffee, leaving a physical mark in your mouth. But the acidity of coffee can also lead to enamel erosion, meaning consistently drinking coffee will eventually deteriorate the strength of your teeth.

Tea is the exact opposite of coffee when it comes to dental health. Not only do you avoid stained teeth and enamel erosion, but drinking green tea every day can help prevent gum disease. Some research suggests that tea is also more likely to reduce your chances of oral cancer – and all forms of cancer in general.

Tea Drinkers Don’t Get Sick

Ok, tea drinkers do get sick – but their tea drinking habit is beneficial to their health. Those who drink tea regularly are less likely to get sick than non-drinkers since tea can bolster your immune system. The healing properties of tea are well known, a likely reason why people opt for tea instead of coffee when they’re feeling ill.

Coffee, on the other hand, might have negative effects on your immune system. Studies have been split down the middle when it comes to coffee being good or bad for the immune system. Either way, tea is proven to be better for physical health.

Reducing Stress

Tea is proven to be better at reducing stress than coffee. Some of the physical reasons are cut and dry – tea is full of antioxidants, and there’s nothing in tea that could go on to hurt your body. Interestingly, there are other mental benefits to drinking tea that aren’t related to its chemical composition.
