"A weekly newsletter from the medical doctors of vitacost.com, brings yo=
u the latest research, news and product reviews to help you increase you=
r knowledge and improve your health"=20
Welcome ,
We at vitacost.com would like to extend a welcome to customers and visit=
ors of Allherb.com. We at vitacost have long ago realized that PRICE MAT=
TERS. We have seen many companies on the internet come and go and yet vi=
tacost has grown stronger in the 6 years that we have been in business. =
Sales have grown by over 1,000% in the last 5 years and we turned profit=
able earlier this year. So what is our secret? Answer: offer the best pr=
ices and the best service.
A few days ago (3/11/01), we selected a few of the better selling produc=
ts and did a price comparison with some of our more popular competitors.=
Here are the blatant results:

We sell practically every brand at listed wholesale (typically 40 to 50 =
% off retail). There are no gimmicks. Some of the other sites may offer =
30, 40 or even 50% off on a limited time basis or may limit the minimum =
or maximum amount of product that you can buy. There may be clubs that y=
ou have to join with membership fees. We have none of that at vitacost. =
Our prices do not vary from day to day. We offer only top quality, best =
selling brands at wholesale - everyday. We are able to do this by workin=
g with small margins but with large volumes.
But it doesn't end with just the best prices on the Internet. We also pr=
ovide the best service. Unlike many of our competitors we have our own w=
arehouse and customer service center and do not have to rely on an outsi=
de third party fulfillment center. If the product is in stock (and it us=
ually is), we will typically ship your order within 24 hours. Even if it=
needs to be backordered, the product is usually shipped within a few da=
ys. We have one standard shipping charge of $4.95 no matter how large yo=
ur order. And, of course, if you are not satisfied with your purchase fo=
r any reason, you may return it to us within 30 days, for a full refund,=
no questions asked.
If all this wasn't enough, we also offer some value added benefits that =
can only be found on http://pull.xmr3.com/p/216427-7626/5053660/http-ww=
w.vitacost.com.html . We send out products for independent laboratory a=
nalysis and report the results on the website, telling you which of the =
products passed and failed. If a particular product does not meet our ri=
gorous standards, we will remove it from our virtual shelf. We make a pl=
edge to sell only safe and effective products. We will not sell ma huang=
/ephredra type products (which many of our competitors sell) because we =
feel they are potentially life threatening. Our science section was deve=
loped and written by board certified physicians and our http://pull.xmr=
3.com/p/216427-7626/5053663/http-www.vitacost.com-community-index.html =
is unique on the Internet. In addition, we provide you with a weekly ne=
wsletter containing commentary, breaking health news, information on new=
products along with timely material and reports from our science sectio=
n. By just spending a few minutes once a week to read the newsletter, in=
no time you will become very knowledgeable about nutrition.
Finally, vitacost.com is the only website that offers http://pull.xmr3.=
com/p/216427-7626/5053695/http-www.vitacost.com-products-brandsaz-nsi.ht=

dered cutting edge. http://pull.xmr3.com/p/216427-7626/5053705/http-www=
.vitacost.com-products-brandsaz-nsiprods-synergy2000-index.html , a cor=
e nutritional product, is clearly the best product on the market for the=
money. Since its introduction about 5 years ago, it has already been re=
formulated 6 times (based on the latest medical literature). Due to the =
huge demand for this product it is currently on backorder and should be =
available in about one week. There are also state of the art products fr=
om NSI for promotion of healthy joints http://pull.xmr3.com/p/216427-76=

DHEA ( Dehydroepiandrosterone ) is a natural metabolite of cholesterol w=
ith a wide range of beneficial activities. DHEA is the most dominant hor=
mone in the body, and serves as a precursor to other important hormones =
such as estrogen and testosterone. DHEA is often referred to as the "Mot=
her Hormone" because our body can convert it upon demand into a host of =
other necessary health-enhancing hormones such as estrogen, testosterone=
, progesterone, and corticosterone. DHEA blood levels reach their peak a=
round age 20, then decline in a linear fashion, making it one of the mos=
t reliable markers for measuring biological aging. By age 80 DHEA blood =
levels have declined as much as 95%, signaling the onset of the aging pr=
ocess.
There have been over 2,500 published papers documenting the multiple ben=
efits of DHEA. Studies have shown that it was able to postpone some of t=
he undesirable side effects of aging such as fatigue and muscle weakness=
. In addition, individuals taking DHEA supplements slept better and gene=
rally had more energy. The Smart Basics DHEA is 100% pure dehydroepiandr=
osterone, not wild yam extract.=20

Growth Hormone levels begin to drop after puberty, resulting in immune s=
ystem malfunction, increased body fat, decreased muscle tone and strengt=
h, decreased sexual drive and thinning of the skin. People taking the co=
rrect combination of the amino acid L-arginine and co-factors have been =
able to increase their natural secretion of growth hormone.

In this week's newsletter, there are two articles dealing with sexual fu=
nction. Impotence/ sexual dysfunction is not something most people like =
to talk about. Many marriages and relationships have ended because of th=
is problem. In fact there are tens of millions of people in this country=
that suffer with this condition. When Viagra was first introduced there=
was a record amount of sales, perhaps being one of the most successful =
early launches of a product in pharmaceutical history. Unfortunately Via=
