What Are the Potential Risks with Buying Essiac Tea on Amazon?

With Genuine Essiac™, You're Getting a Far More Affordable and Reliable Option

If Essiac looks cheaper on Amazon, it isn’t. Here’s the math Amazon sellers hope you don’t do: you are likely to spend around 4 times as much when shopping for Essiac there. In addition, there are many bogus formulas being sold on Amazon.

Reveal #1: The Real Cost Per Pound

Check out this chart where Genuine Essiac is compared side-by-side to the most popular alternative on the market, Flor Essence, sold on Amazon.

Flor Essence, by the way, is real Essiac tea! It just costs a lot more for the very same thing as our Genuine Essiac. It has the same powdered herbs and the same eight ingredients. Per-pound pricing exposes Amazon’s secret: their ‘cheap’ Essiac costs 4× more. 

Reveal #2: The Herb Count Trick

Eight Herb Essiac is the Only One That's Research Backed 

• Rene Caisse and Dr. Charles Brusch worked together studying Essiac at the Brusch Medical Research Center from 1959 to 1967 and were able to determine that eight herb Essiac is best.
• This is why you shouldn't ever buy four herb teas on Amazon.
• Check out the research on eight herb Essiac here as well as in the book The Essiac Report by Richard Thomas.

Reveal #3: Why Amazon Simply Can't Price Competitively 🌿

All of these things eat into profit margins, driving up the cost of consumable goods sold on Amazon:

• Amazon fees

• Fulfillment costs

• High rate of returns

• Forced discounts and pressure to advertise to stay ranked

• They aren't selling bulk quantities, so they pay higher costs for their supplies and packaging

To produce a profit, many sellers are forced to cut the quality of their ingredients and raise prices on a cost-to-use-per-day basis. This exploits the customer who doesn't understand they are getting a tiny packet of herbs but at a very high annual cost.

Here is an example of one product sold on Amazon that contains the same eight herbs as ours:

• Flora 2 1/8 oz. (about 1/8th of 1 lb).
• Makes less than 1 gallon of tea (3/4 of a gallon)
• Flor Essence Detox Dry Tea Blend - Gentle Daily Herbal Cleanse - $33.64 on Amazon 
• This product costs $244.65 per pound of herbs upon last check.

Here is our product, which contains the same eight herbs but it makes a whole lot more tea:

• 1 lb. of Essiac in one bag $64.97 on our site (and you can save 10% if you choose autoship)  

• Makes 4 gallons of tea

• This product costs $64.97 per pound of herbs - about 1/4th (26%) of what it costs to order on Amazon!

Want even greater savings? If you purchase our larger value size, the six month supply, the cost per pound drops even more, and then you'll really have the most affordable Essiac available.
