At Arbutus we carry the whole range of single tinctures. We also have the unique opportunity to work closely with Clayoquot Botanicals in creating specialized formulas to address specific imbalances that arise with our patients.
Prime Chlorella
Chlorella is a single-celled fresh water algae. One of the richest food in protein, beta-carotene and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), chlorella contains more chlorophyll than any other food. It acts as a detoxifier, antioxidant, immuno-stimulant and complete nutrient. “A number of companies market chlorella. However, from my perspective, the products from Prime Chlorella (TM) are unsurpassed for purity and effectiveness.” Paul Pitchford M.S., author of Healing With Whole Foods.

Stevia contains no calories or carbohydrates, it acts as a weight loss and digestive aid and can be used to heal a variety of skin problems. Stevia Canada provides the rarest and highest quality form of organic green stevia.
