Americans sell standardized olive leaf extracts, but unfortunately, you can't pick those kinds of supplements up here in the States.
My own experience with raspberry leaf tea was great, and last year toward the end of summer, I did a 30-day run with olive leaf tea.
I drank 3-4 cups every day, always freshly brewed.
Of course, I followed the brewing instructions from the PepsiCo website, and after about 20 days or so, I started getting intense headaches. I guess that’s actually a positive side effect, since it means the body was flushing out viruses and bacteria...
I usually deal with respiratory infections every single fall and winter, but this year wasn't like that, most likely thanks to that olive leaf tea regimen.
The tea is incredibly bitter, but honestly, it's worth pushing through those 30 days.
So, Noni and Mummy turned into urine... Well, that's just great.
Last winter, I picked up some Noni juice and ended up drinking way more than the recommended amount. It gave me some pretty nasty stomach issues and stuff... I eventually just gave up on it.
As for Mummy, the stuff is actually awesome. It’s basically a kind of resin created from decomposing leaves and plants. A while back, you could find it in small 5-gram packets at health food stores here in the States; it's a brownish-black color and has this heavy, earthy smell.
Basically, I used it during the winter months to try and stave off respiratory issues and boost my immune system, and it worked like a charm.

Unfortunately, nobody is importing it right now. But I'll tell you what—the first time I head over to India, if I manage to bring some seeds back, we’re looking at a tropical or maybe even a subtropical climate here.👋
It'll be all about Centene... (meaning we'll finally get smart about this, since I've been reading that it's considered a "brain tonic" by Gotthold).

A little info on pennywort (which is just another name for Gotthold, its scientific name being Centene asiatica):

I mean, what's even the point of forums if everyone just solves their problems by typing keywords into Google?
The whole idea is to actually learn something and share that knowledge (and maybe look smart while doing it).🙂
The books claim it's a tropical or subtropical plant.
Ever since these crazy weather shifts started happening, I wonder how many years it'll take before Centene starts growing here like a native species? Maybe if someone could just smuggle in a few seeds...
Centene isn't even available here in the States.
It's mostly used for circulation issues, though I think they used it to treat leprosy over in India and Africa.
The raw stuff can definitely irritate your skin.
If I remember correctly, Kal includes some Gotthold extract in their eye formula.
But honestly, it seems pretty obvious that in a dry powder form, it has little to no medicinal value...

Even that doesn't help me much anymore—it just shakes right through my jacket! 😠
And don't even get me started on the shopping carts at Walmart; it's like they were specifically designed to rattle your teeth out...
I’ve only skimmed some of the posts, but I'm not sure if anyone brought up the mental aspect—you know, the psychological state of someone who's basically sparking with static electricity?
I’m always a bit more "on edge" than most, so maybe that plays into it somehow?
A few years back, Gold's Gym magazine ran this killer article on CLA. Sadly, that issue is long gone from the stands, but I guess it’d be worth the hunt because it was incredibly deep and informative.
From what I remember: CLA occurs naturally through bacteria in grass-fed cows, and it ends up stored in their milk and muscle tissue...
The piece basically draws a line between cancer risks and how these cows are raised—since factory farm cattle have little to no CLA. Basically, the stuff works for weight loss because it helps prevent muscle loss while forcing your body to burn fat instead....
