PRICE: $15.95 for each 60 capsule bottle (200mg per capsule) Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs is now offering the finest Kacip Fatimah (Labisia Pumila) Extract in the world - an herbal extract which is considered by many to be the finest female aphrodisiac in the world.  It is Sumatra Pasak Bumi Brand, and a 100:1 (or 1:100) Extract, meaning that 100 kilograms of Kacip Fatimah herb are utilized to produce one kilogram of Extract. This product is wild-harvested on the pollution-free island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Barlowe is offering this superb Kacip in vegi-caps containing 200mg of pure, unadulterated extract.  It is generally recommended that women take 200mg of Kacip Fatimah 100:1 Extract two or three times a day. However, due to the high cost of bulk Kacip Fatimah Extract, most of the other encapsulated Kacip Extracts on the market contain less than 100mg per capsule. Thus, to take the proper dosage would require consuming a minimum of 4 to 6 capsules of those weakly-dosed products daily. These vegetable-derived capsules (vegetarian, Kosher and Halal certified) are filled by hand with a manual encapsulation machine, not with a high speed automatic machine, and thus, only pure, unadulterated Kacip Fatimah 100:1 Extract is in the capsules. Capsules produced with high speed machines in herbal remedy and vitamin "factories" contain several other ingredients, including preservatives because so many bottles of product are produced at one time, and lubricants to ensure that the machines will run faster and more efficiently. Check their labels! Also, Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs is one of the very few manufacturers that still package their products in glass whenever possible, even though glass is more expensive.  Barlowe believes that chemicals can leach out of plastic containers and contaminate the contents, and that the use of glass is much better for the environment. Kacip Fatimah is traditionally used to maintain a healthy female reproductive system, to help tone, tighten and lubricate the vagina, and to enhance sexual desire and function. Many generations of Southeast Asian women have relied on Kacip Fatimah for promoting feminine vitality, sexual well-being and hormonal balance. It is widely used in childbirth there to ease delivery and as a post partum medication. The extract also helps to firm the abdominal muscles, to prevent flatulence, and to alleviate pms and menopausal symptoms. These actions are due to the prescence of phytoestrogens that are naturally found in the plant. Although little research has been conducted on Kacip Fatimah, two studies have shown that the plant exhibits oestrogenic properties. Mamal et al.  in 1992 showed that alcohol/water extracts of Kacip Fatimah exhibited a weak but targeted estrogenic effect on human cells, resulting in an enhanced secretion of alkaline phosphatase.  Husniza et al. in 2000 showed that Kacip Fatimah was able to displace estradiol binding, making it similar to other estrogens such as estrone and estradiol.
