Nutri-West - Total Para - 120 Tablets

Some supplement bottles just sit quietly on the shelf, minding their own business. Total Para is not that bottle. This is the one with a lineup so eclectic — pumpkin seed, oil of oregano, black walnut hull, bromelain — that it looks less like a formula and more like the ingredient list for a very confident chef's tasting menu.

Nutri-West has been crafting professional-grade formulas out of Douglas, Wyoming since 1983 (yes, Wyoming — turns out the high plains are excellent for supplement manufacturing and very little small talk). Total Para brings eight botanicals and enzymes together with a touch of Vitamin C into a single tablet you take once a day. That's it. One tablet, a glass of water, done — back to whatever you were doing.

What's Actually in the Bottle

Each of the 120 tablets in this bottle contains 2 mg of Vitamin C as ascorbic acid, plus a 351 mg proprietary blend built from eight ingredients that Nutri-West clearly did not put together by accident. The blend includes Artemisia Annua herb, garlic bulb, black walnut hull, citrus seed extract, pumpkin seed, bromelain from fruit, papain from fruit, and oil of oregano. That is a genuinely interesting cast of characters sharing one tablet.

The tablet itself is held together with microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable stearine, vegetable magnesium stearate, and vegetable stearic acid — all the behind-the-scenes crew that keeps a tablet a tablet. The formula is vegan and gluten-free, which means it fits neatly into a lot of routines without requiring any negotiation. One note worth flagging before you buy: it does contain tree nuts, so keep that in mind if that matters for your household.
