The pursuit of beauty, youthful appearance and radiant skin is not a modern phenomenon. Ancient cultures have pursued it as relentlessly as we have now.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, our skin is the mirror of our internal energy. Beauty comes into its own when the "Qi" (energy) flows harmoniously and unhindered in the meridians, when our blood is of good quality and sufficient, when the "Yin" (such as our mineral reserves) is well filled, and when our "Shen" (spirit) is calm and serene. The result, so believed in Chinese Medicine, is radiant, unblemished, well-moisturized and firm skin.
Pearls played a vital role in the daily beauty regime of Empress Wu Zetian (624-705 AD) of the Tang Dynasty. The only woman who ruled China in her own right, she was a celebrated beauty, known especially for her flawless skin. She is said to have applied powdered pearl mixed with egg white to her face every evening before going to bed, and also took it internally.
In a memoir written by her personal assistant, she was described to have “the skin of a young girl” even in her sixties. She used her administrative power to set up an institute that conducted research on Pearl and other anti-aging materials and prepared all kinds of herbal formulations to satisfy her desire for eternal youth and immortality. She adored pearls so much that she was accompanied by more than 30,000 pearls on her way to the other world, with the largest pearl directly in her mouth.

If you've been here a while, this information may not be new to you, but if you are newer, this is for you!
There are so many products on the market now with medicinal mushrooms, but what I want you to understand is just because a product says it has Chaga in it, and then lists the benefits of Chaga does NOT mean you automatically get those benefits.
The reason why I am so proud of my products and sourcing is because I know that these botanicals came from their proper growing regions, they fought to survive in their climate/environment and because of that they are full of active constituents that are beneficial.
With the popularization of these mushrooms and adaptogens, many companies choose to cut corners, reduce costs, and thereby reduce efficacy.
With my products, you KNOW you are getting the full spectrum of available benefits, you can actually FEEL it. I would rather discontinue an item than switch to a sub-par product.

Packed with amino acids + calcium + magnesium, pearl has been used as a beauty aid in China for centuries — and is one of the key ingredients in our Marine Collagen proprietary blend.
The same elements that make pearls luminous & strong do the same for your skin. Applied topically, it will gradually eliminate dark spots and lead to a radiant and even complexion. Taken internally, it can also brighten skin and eyes, and so much more. Pearl can support bone health, wound healing, sleep cycles and relaxation. If you haven't read the scientific studies linked on the shop page, you must!
The use of pearl as a beauty aid goes back centuries. “The Last Empress” — who was renowned for her youthful radiance — every day would take crushed pearls and place the powder on her wrinkles. Using a stick of jade, she would massage the pearl powder into her skin — essentially rubbing away the wrinkles.⠀
With our pearl powder, we’ve done the work for you. Our Pearl Powder has been micro-ground to nano-proportions that allow for optimum bio-availability.

* Krestin (PSK)

* PSP has been found to increase the production of Prostaglandins, lipid-based compounds that regulate inflammation.
* PSP stimulates the production of cytokines, proteins that signal the endocrine system to respond to inflammation by combating it.
