Answers
What is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is derived from the ancient practice of using natural plant essences to promote health and wellbeing. It consists of the use of pure essential oils obtained from a wide assortment of plants, which have been steam distilled or cold-pressed from flowers, fruit, bark and roots.
Aromatherapy can help ease a wide assortment of ailments; easing aches, pains, and injuries, while relieving the discomforts of many health problems.
Aromatherapy also acts on the central nervous system, relieving depression and anxiety, reducing stress, relaxing, uplifting, sedating or stimulating, restoring both physical and emotional well being.
The appropriate oils can have powerful results, both on the body and the spirit. "Fragrance Oils", "Perfumes" and other artificially made substitutes for Pure Essential Oils can not produce these amazing results.
Does aromatherapy really work?
YES! Pure Essential Oils are prescribed in Great Britain and throughout Europe for their medicinal benefits. Modern scientific research has proven the potency and healing qualities of Pure Essential Oils.
Many of the oils have powerful antibacterial and antiviral qualities which, unlike pharmaceutical drugs, do not leave behind dangerous toxins.
Can I take Reddy, Set, Go!™ forever?
The ingredients in Reddy, Set, Go!™ have traditionally been used daily throughout a person's life.
What is the difference between Rhodiola standardized at 3% rosavins and 1% salidrodisides, vs. Rhodiola standardized at 45% polyphenols?
The genus Rhodiola contains many species. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the Rhodiola rosea species is quite different from its relatives in the Rhodiola genus. 94% of all human studies were performed using the Rhodiola rosea species. Rhodiola rosea extract is identified by its Rosavins content and standardized to contain 3% rosavins and 0.8-1% salidroside. Rhodiola standardized at 45% polyphenols is likely not the same Rhodiola used in the studies.

Does Seasonal Sinus Support cause drowsiness?
No. Unlike some over-the-counter and prescription drugs, Seasonal Sinus Support does not contain ingredients that cause drowsiness. In fact, Seasonal Sinus Support does not cause any of the common side effects seen with conventional sinus medications.
Can Seasonal Sinus Support be used for sinus infections?
Yes. The ingredients in Seasonal Sinus Support promote healthy immune system function and can be used during times of infection. The formula also contains ingredients to deal with problematic symptoms caused by sinus infections.
Many over-the-counter drugs have overdose warnings on the packaging. Can you over-dose on Seasonal Sinus Support?
The ingredients used in Seasonal Sinus Support have no known acute toxicity issues. Over-dosing on this product is not an issue.
How much magnesium can I take in a day?
Many nutritional experts feel that magnesium intake should be based on body weight (6 milligrams per 2.2 pounds of body weight). A 150 pound person would take about 400 mg per day, and a 200 pound person would take about 540 mg per day. These amounts correspond to daily maintenance levels. More may be needed based on individual deficiencies.
Why did you choose these forms of magnesium for Muscle Ease?
The forms of magnesium found in Muscle Ease correspond with research that shows benefits to the muscle function and maximum absorption.
I have never heard of Jamaica Dogwood. Why did you use this herb instead of valerian?
Jamaica dogwood is a tree native to the West Indies and South America. It has been used traditionally for its pain relieving properties. Valerian has sedative properties and is recommended for sleep issues. Jamaica Dogwood can help with pain without being sedative.
I am pregnant and get leg cramps frequently. Can I use Muscle Ease?
Muscle Ease should not be used during pregnancy, as Jamaica dogwood is not appropriate for use during pregnancy.
How long will it take to feel relief from muscle cramps?
Each person has his or her own unique response to supplements, and results will vary. However, most people should begin to feel relief after 1 or 2 doses.
Does At Ease cause drowsiness?
At Ease does not contain sedative ingredients. You should experience a feeling of calmness, without feeling drowsy.
Many prescriptions for anxiety cause unwanted side effects. Does At Ease cause some of the same side effects?
Many of the ingredients in At Ease have been clinically studied and shown not to cause the same side effects as many prescriptions used for anxiety.
Can At Ease be used for adult ADHD?
Yes, At Ease can be used to support adults with this condition. Bacopa has been shown to increase focus and concentration in clinical research.
Why don’t you use L-tryptophan?
We chose to use 5-hydroxytryptophan instead of L-tryptophan in this formula because it is actually more effective in supporting serotonin levels.
Can diabetics use Nerve Shield?
Nerve Shield contains several ingredients that are beneficial for those with diabetes. Because this formula contains alpha lipoic acid, which has been shown to decrease blood sugar levels, it is important to monitor blood sugar levels.
I take a multiple and a B complex already. If I add Nerve Shield, will I be getting too much vitamin B12?
There is no known toxicity from vitamin B12.
Would Nerve Sheild be beneficial for someone with MS?
Nerve Shield is designed to support the function of the peripheral nervous system and provide protection to the peripheral nerves. It can be used to provide nutritional support to those with MS.
Is Children's Sinus Support safe for kids of all ages?
Generally, Children's Sinus Support is safe for children 2 and older. Ingredients, such as ivy extract, have been clinically studied in children as young as 2 years of age.
Can Children's Sinus Support be used with other medications?
Yes, Children's Sinus Support can be used with other medications. There are no known contraindications with the ingredients found in this formula.
How long will my child need to take Children's Sinus Support?
Each child will respond in his or her own unique way to this formula. Because this formula can be used both preventatively and at the onset of symptoms, the length of time will be dependant upon your child's specific issues. As a general rule of thumb, the upper dosage limits should be used for about 2 days, you can then back down to the maintenance dose.
Can my child use Children’s Sinus Support with other supplements?
Redd Remedies’ Children’s Sinus Support was designed with other supplements in mind. We make the assumption that most of our customers are using a multiple vitamin and mineral supplement. Even at the upper dosages, this formula is safe to use with other supplements.
My child is allergic to poison-ivy. Is it safe for him to use Children's Sinus Support?
The ivy we use in Children's Sinus Support is Hedera helix, English ivy, which is a true ivy. Poison-ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), on the other hand, is not a true ivy. It is a completely different species of plant. Your child will have no issue with the ivy extract found in Children’s Sinus Support.
