The Eight (8) Biological Systems and 23 time-tested and trusted botanical extracts

For thousands of years, the Chinese have believed the secret to life revolves around the “pa-kua” (pronounced par-kwar), an octagonal symbol that depicts the eight points of the compass. It is believed that the trigrams (eight directions) give the pa-kua its power & energy.

Intra Herbal Blend supports the Body’s 8 Biological Systems!

The different systems 

Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the body also has eight biological systems — Digestive and energy, Eliminative / Antioxidant,  Structural (Musculoskeletal), Hormonal (Endocrine), Immune, Nervous, Reproductive, and Cardiovascular — and that optimum power, energy, and good health depend on all systems working together in balance and harmony.
