Western Consumers Seek Wellbeing in Online Chinese Herbal Medicine Store








Torrance, CA (PRWEB) September 24, 2008

Since its founding in 2004, sales at online retailer Chinese Herbs Direct have increased some 50% each year. The business carries over 20 different lines of Chinese herbal formulas, making it the largest store for such products on the Internet — a title it will likely retain for the foreseeable future as new herbal medicines are being added to the website each month.

Key to the success of Chinese Herbs Direct is strong demand for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) among U.S. consumers, many of whom are aware that western drugs are often designed based on extracts from natural herbs like those used in TCM. Further strengthening the case for TCM’s effectiveness in consumer minds is the fact that these traditional herbal formulas have been refined through centuries of use, and are still being used by hundreds of millions of Chinese today.

Strong demand by itself does not generate sales, however; a supply of product that meets consumer needs in precise fashion is needed. Chinese Herbs Direct has created just such a supply by carefully listening to its customers, and by providing them with good information about the herbal formulations it sells.

The company’s early research revealed that some western consumers hesitate to buy China-made herbal formulations because of manufacturing quality concerns. Rather than trying to change a hardened consumer perception, the owners of Chinese Herbs Direct located a GMP-certified factory in the U.S. capable of mixing herbal formulas. Using raw herbs grown in both the U.S. and China, the factory now makes the website’s exclusive “Advanced Formula” line of traditional Chinese medicines, which are sold alongside the company’s traditional branded formulas from China.

Chinese Herbs Direct management also realized early on that consumers were frustrated by lack of good information on the Internet about traditional Chinese herbal remedies. Still another communication-related complaint was about Chinese labeling, which consumers often found difficult to understand. In response, Chinese Herbs direct dedicates itself to providing quality information about Chinese herbal formulas. The site maintains a clearly-written reference section about various herbs, herbal formulations and herbal treatments. In addition, all CHD products use US-styled, FDA-compliant labeling.

Zachary Ling, founder of Chinese Herbs Direct, says, “As indicated by our extremely rapid growth, U.S. consumer demand for alternative, Eastern herbal formulas is quite high. The bulk of CHD’s sales now come from repeat, happy customers, though we continue to get hundreds of new daily visits from consumers new to the world of Chinese herbs.”

Based on his experience with CHD, Ling has now launched herbal niche business in the hard-to-find areas of Ayurvedic Herbs and Pet Herbs. The two sites, ayurvedicherbsdirect.com and petherbsdirect.com, are already experiencing healthy growth.

DogVitaminFacts.com Launches New Site, Offers Consumers Reliable Pet Vitamin Information








Round Rock, TX (PRWEB) March 25, 2009

Millions of people across the country have dogs as pets. Like their human counterparts, those dogs are most likely not getting all of their necessary nutrition through their daily meals. As such, many pet owners today are turning to vitamin supplements to help their dogs meet their daily nutritional requirements.

“Many people are beginning to hear about the benefits of giving their dog vitamins, yet they are also confused about the information,” says Brett Graham, owner of DogVitaminFacts.com. “That’s why we created DogVitaminFacts.com. We aim to ensure that people get factual information, have their questions answered, and have access to quality vitamins at an affordable cost.”

DogVitaminFacts.com has been designed to provide consumers with the information they need to understand why dogs need vitamins. Dog owners will also find information on what to look for in a quality vitamin, and what each supplement does to help support the good health of a pet. The site also provides a variety of information covering dog weight control, nutrition issues, puppy nutrition, and dog food facts. In addition, dog vitamins are available through the site to help ensure that dog nutrition needs are being met.

“We are happy to be filling that void for dog owners, providing them the information they need to make an informed decision on their dog vitamin purchases,” says Graham. “What we are offering to the public is long overdue and is being well-received.”

LuckyVitamin.com and Vitamin Angels Partner to Raise Awareness and Provide Nutritional Support for Undernourished Children Amongst Health Conscious Consumers Worldwide







One in three children worldwide is undernourished. Supporting Vitamin Angels reduces child mortality by connecting infants and children under five with vital nutrients.


Norristown, PA (PRWEB) August 19, 2009

Every year, one third of maternal and child deaths are caused by the lack of essential nutrients. This year, in a partnership with Vitamin Angels, LuckyVitamin.com hopes to help change that.

LuckyVitamin.com (Norristown, PA) has joined forces with Vitamin Angels (Santa Barbara, CA) in a collaborative partnership to support Vitamin Angels in raising awareness and funding for their quest to reduce child mortality worldwide by advancing the availability, access and use of essential nutrients to newborns, infants and children under five. Last week LuckyVitamin.com, a direct to consumer e-commerce health and wellness website, launched an innovative new program that enables their health conscious consumers to directly support Vitamin Angels with a new at-checkout-donation module that allows customers making purchases to add a charitable contribution to their purchase.

“To be able to raise awareness amongst our large network of health conscious consumers to such a wonderful organization as Vitamin Angles brings us great satisfaction. Vitamin Angels supports a remarkable cause with an extraordinary mission that we should all recognize. We are proud to lend our support and look forward to working with them to raise awareness and funding for a long time to come,” said Samuel Wolf, President & Founder of LuckyVitamin.com.

Shoppers will now have the ability when completing their order to add a monetary donation directly to their purchase. In the first week since its launch Lucky Vitamin has received hundreds of donations representing thousands of dollars in support for Vitamin Angels. Each donation will be processed by Lucky Vitamin on behalf of each contributing customer and forwarded directly to Vitamin Angels to help improve the health and wellbeing of children worldwide.

“Today for most of the children Vitamin Angels works with, basic nutrition is a privilege that is largely beyond their reach. We feel ‘lucky’ to be working with an organization truly committed to global health!” said Howard Schiffer, President and Founder of Vitamin Angels

Innovative Software Provides Consumers with Drug Free Alternatives for Sleep Problems

Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) December 13, 2005

Integrative Interventions, Inc., announces the release of The Sleep Advisorâ„¢ — a computer program that evaluates sleep using the same methods employed by sleep specialists. The program, which provides immediate results includes extensive personalized recommendations for improving sleep and is intended for use by consumers in the privacy of their own homes.

The Sleep Advisor is the result of a 10-year collaboration between C. Roger Smolin and Rubin Naiman, PhD, the sleep specialist and clinical assistant professor of medicine in Dr. Andrew Weil’s world-renowned Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.

As the result of a serious shortage of sleep medicine specialists, the majority of people with sleep problems remain undiagnosed and untreated. The Sleep Advisor offers an easy, economical, and effective alternative to conventional sleep medicine. For less than the cost of one month’s supply of sleeping pills, the program provides a thorough sleep health screening and comprehensive recommendations for addressing sleep problems.

The Sleep Advisor represents a significant breakthrough in the area of sleep health. Crafted with meticulous concern for efficiency and effectiveness, the program uses an integrative medicine approach that blends the best of conventional healthcare with proven complementary and alternative medicine (cam) approaches. The Sleep Advisor, which has undergone four years of comprehensive testing, relies on both extensive scientific research and broad-based clinical experience in sleep disorders.

“Sleep disorders, such as insomnia, apnea, and insufficient sleep are the most prevalent health concern in the U.S. and can erode our physical and mental health.” Naiman said. “We want people to know that there are proven, effective, and user-friendly alternatives. The Sleep Advisor is not a simplistic health screening device. It is an expert system that utilizes sophisticated diagnostic formulas derived from the practice of sleep medicine.”

Smolin brings 30 years of experience in creating expert systems and consumer-based software to the design of The Sleep Advisor. Naiman founded the sleep health program at the world-famous Canyon Ranch Health Resort, is a sleep consultant at the Miraval Resort near Tucson, and is a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
