Side Effects of Zrii?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed to stay current with the latest Zrii information and Amalaki Freedom Team happenings. Thanks for visiting!

A question that’s often asked when it comes to any new nutritional product is,  “What are the side effects?”

So, what are the side effects of Zrii?

Because Amalaki and other botanicals in Zrii act at a deep level to detoxify cells and rejuvenate the body, there may be cases where one may feel cleansing effects. These effects include; feeling tired, headaches, and possibly diarrhea. In my practice I refer to these as “recovery symptoms.”

“Recovery symptoms”, “cleansing reactions” or “healing crisis” is a natural, body initiated process that can occur when accumulated toxins are being eliminated from the body.  These toxins come from unhealthy foods eaten over a lifetime, like impure air, tap water, electromagnetic radiation, negative thoughts, etc.  This internal body cleansing is absolutely essential to maintain or regain health.

I never really understood why people who prescribe and take medications consider adverse reactions to be  “side” effects.

Why aren’t they just called ‘effects’?

Here’s just one of a thousand examples; the FDA issued a “Public Health Advisory” warning people of risks associated with the extensive use of antidepressants.  Some of those drugs include: Zoloft, Prozac, Effexor, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, as well as Wellbutrin, Serzone, and Remeron.  In the debate over drug-induced suicides caused by taking these medications is a small list of ‘side effects’ or behaviors  “known to be associated with these drugs,” they include; “anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, severe restlessness, hypomania, and mania.”

Keep in mind these are only the ‘side‘ effects.

Does this mean we should throw all the drugs into the ocean and be done with them?

“Definitely not! We wouldn’t want to kill all the fish.”

It’s truly impossible to predict or claim how someone may feel after taking a certain drug, food or supplement. I studied a lot of science before earning my doctorate degree. If you take a measured part of substance ‘A’ and mix with a measured part of substance ‘B,’ you will end up with substance ‘C’. When its predictable, over and over… that’s science.

The problem in reproducing effects consistently in medicine or natural health care is that if the product or drug is substance ‘A’ and then substance ‘B’ is YOU.  Substance B which is you is different in every circumstance.  When humans are in the equation, it’s not reproducible therefore it cannot be considered science.

Even YOU aren’t the same today as YOU were yesterday. And God only knows that each and every human is different from one another. That’s why over a 100,000 people die each year to adverse reactions from prescription drugs- each individual is different; therefore results and predictions cannot be accurately reproduced.

The question is… Is that science?

I guess if we were going to use traditional pharmaceutical based thinking when talking about the side effects of Zrii, the conversation would be more focused around “what are the side benefits.”

One of Zrii’s ingredients, Schizandra, is an adaptagen, meaning it has been shown to raise the body’s set point to certain physiological stressors, in other words you may be less affected by stress. Other ’side benefits’ of Schizandra may be that it has a stimulatory effect on the central nervous system without being excitatory or hyper-stimulating and it enhances both mental and physical capabilities. Therefore, as a ’side benefit’ you may feel energized, yet calm and not ‘wired.’

Another ingredient in Zrii is Amalaki, from the Amalaki fruit.  The Vitamin C in the Amalaki fruit is bonded with tannins that protect it from being destroyed by heat or light, which make it highly bio-available.  Some highly cooked or processed foods, supplements and fruits have the potential to break down and the original source of vitamin C may be less nutritionally valuable.

Another ’side benefit’ of Zrii would be that your body is getting the most potent and bio-available source of vitamin C and you can be assured your body will benefit from the vitamin C.

Many pharmaceutical drugs are eventually pulled off the market once the true danger is revealed; sadly this is often after numerous people have already taken them. (i.e. Vioxx)  Drugs are unnatural chemical compounds and are not found in nature.

Amla, as Amalaki is known in Ayurvedic medicine, has been used for centuries, over 5,000 years. Over that time it has shown to be an extraordinary source of vitality, rejuvenation, and energy. So, its side benefit could be that it is natural, organic and literally hand harvested or wildcrafted.

What does wildcrafted mean? It’s hand harvested. It means that the farmer scrutinizes every single berry as they pick it ripe from the tree, which is in one of the most pristine environments in nature. It means that a person is choosing to put that individual Amalaki fruit in their woven basket that is strapped to their back. It means that the Zrii Amalaki juice created will be of extreme quality and not chemically altered.

That’s about as far from a laboratory as you can get.  It’s natural. It’s of the earth.

Nature gives side benefits. Chemicals give side effects.
