 Dr. S. Khoshbin, Creator of Alveo:

"Throughout my years of practicing naturopathy and homeopathy, I have found that almost all of my patients were greatly lacking in essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. To treat my patient´s concerns meant prescribing herbs, vitamins and minerals. The drawback that everyone always seems to have when taking either the above mentioned remedies, or synthetic prescriptions, is the same: a.) too many pills to take, and b.) forgetting to také them regularly in order to receive optimal benefits. Often I´ve heard them remark how they wish that they could have one product – one that could encompass all the needed nutrients.

Realizing the importance of creating a product that will be appropriate for everyone, and one that each person will derive benefit from through using it on a daily basis, we at AKUNA understand that this product must have a good taste and should be comprised of the most natural and superior ingredients available – containing an optimum level of nutrients, acting as a preventative for all who consume it, strenghtening the immune system, and aiding in the removal of all the ever increasing pollutatnts entering into our bodies on a daily basis.

After years of research, analysis and testing, ALVEO has been perfected and is now made available to you, your family, and friends. ALVEO is a 100% natural herbal drink, blended from 26 of the world´s most reputable and proven herbs, which are each unique in their properties."





 Dr. J. Bertlik, Chairman of Akuna's Scientific Advisory Board:

"Already as a child, I was interested in the well-being of others. Years later, I discovered that not only treating illness but rather preventing it is important. Prevention means being aware of your body, how you live, work and how you deal with stress. Prevention also means that you need to cleanse your body in order to maintain a balance so that your body systems continue to function properly. When formulating ALVEO®, Dr. Khoshbin used his expertise in botanical sciences to combine the right herbal extracts into one high quality botanical supplement that would benefit the majority of the population. The purpose of Alveo is to aid the digestive tract, to enhance immunity, and to ergize the body. I truly believe that ALVEO® is the best product for the prevention of and protection from awide spectrum of diseases."
