New SagaMedica Facebook page in English
It was starting to get a bit “peculiar”, to say the least, writing in Icelandic on a Facebook page “read” by hundreds of non-Icelandic speakers. And writing sporadically in English doesn’t necessarily suit our Icelandic audience.
We want to give our audience relevant information, and it is our firm belief, that understanding the language in which said information is written is kind of a prerequisite for relevancy.
So, here’s SagaMedica’s new Facebook page in English.

UK Therapists Wanted – for SagaMedica’s Promoter Network
We’re looking for UK therapists who are interested in promoting SagaMedica’s natural products. It’s all through a new network which we’ve developed, with a grant from the Icelandic Centre for Research.
Here’s how it works: Simply tell people about our products, hand them your code (which you receive from us) and receive commissions from their purchases through SagaMedica’s online store. You don’t need to carry any products, just tell people about them. We ship the products to the buyer and you can continue telling people about us without having to deliver anything.
Our products are quite unique, and easy to sell, as they’re both from pure nature and also have a sturdy scientific background, plus a great historical aspect, as they’re made from the same herbs the vikings used to consume and trade.
Our main product, SagaPro, is groundbreaking, and is going through a clinical study as we speak (after having been very popular in Iceland since 2005).

Hrisey Island, North Iceland (photos)
Yesterday, SagaMedica went on a field trip to Hrísey Island in the northern part of Iceland.
We harvest angelica there, for our natural products. Hrísey Island only has a population of 180. Yes, that’s one-hundred-and-eighty. The island is covered by large angelica fields, so it’s a great place for us to harvest it. It’s also very positive that we’re doing it there, since angelica can be an aggressive plant. So much so, in fact, that it’s best to control its growth somewhat.
Take a look at these pictures from Hrísey island.
And see how spectacular the view can be!

SagaPro review – Testimonial from a happy customer (blood clotting due to prostate problems)
Testimonial on SagaPro
From: Jack Bell
I’m writing this to thank you for your product SagaPro and to pass on information that may be helpful to others with problems passing urine or blood clots before or after BPH surgery. It’s been a “miracle cure” for me and you have my permission to use this as a testimonial if you wish.
SagaMedica: That’s pretty interesting for us. We’d love to hear more if anyone else has this positive experience with blood clots and SagaPro.
Jack’s story:
I had successful “Green-Light” laser surgery for BPH 6 years ago for a 110 gram prostate. About a year and a half later I began intermittently passing small amounts of blood in my urine, always after heavy lifting or intense physical workouts. Gradually the amount of blood increased and the amount of stress required to start a bleeding episode decreased. About 2 years ago the bleeding got to the point that it was starting and stopping spontaneously every few days. I couldn’t do anything without starting to bleed. Even taking my dog for a walk was too much exercise. I would start passing blood and multiple blood clots, occasionally the size of my thumb. I had my blood count done twice in the past year after bleeding episodes that lasted more than 2 weeks but in each case my CBC (Complete Blood Count) was at the low end of normal, (i.e. ~15). There was never any pain involved and I’ve had no other symptoms of BPH since my surgery. I had two prostate biopsies done in the last two years with no sign of malignancy but all cores came back marked “chronically inflamed with no pathogens present”. I started doing research on the Internet over a year ago and had found only two individuals with symptoms similar to mine but no solutions for my problem. My doctor’s only recommendation was TURP surgery but I rejected this solution as disingenuous. The side effects of this surgery can be significantly more horrendous than my condition. Also, sites such as the Mayo Clinic and Duke University Hospital suggested that this approach was rarely successful. This situation was extremely stressful and discouraging for me as I had always been very active, regularly participating in triathlons for several years prior to this problem.
After two and a half years with this bleeding problem, it suddenly stopped about three months ago. It stopped four days after I started taking a supplement called SagaPro made by SagaMedica, an Icelandic company. I can’t say for certain that this is what stopped the bleeding but if not, it certainly was an extraordinary coincidence. Also, my PSA had been increasing for the past 10 years. Six months ago it was 27.8. Three days ago I had my semi-annual check-up and my PSA was 3.8! My doctor was shocked and asked if I would send him the email address of SagaMedica. I just turned 70 years old and have recently started triathlon training again.
Thanks SagaPro for giving me my life back!
The website for Saga Medica is www.sagamedica.com. You might give it a try. Maybe it will work for you as well.
Thanks very much to Jack Bell for letting us use his testimonial on SagaPro. Please let us know if you have something to say about SagaPro.
So busy!
We’re so busy now, preparing our launch in Canada and the U.S. SagaMedica is also harvesting angelica now, and launching a new Promoter Network, taking in new products and continuing research on herbs. We really look forward to the next months, which will be really important for us.
Promoter network ready
We’re really happy to announce that SagaMedica’s promoter network is ready. We’re looking for people to promote our products in the UK and US, so take a look at our site if you’re interested.
Nocturia product fits through the mail slot – SagaPro
SagaPro is a great nocturia product to order online. It comes in packets that fit very neatly into SagaMedica’s custom made packages. Each package can fit 3 SagaPro packets, so the shipment as a whole should fit through mail slots, unless it’s really narrow of course.
This means people can order the product without having to make a trip to the post office, which is great.
Here’s a picture of the packaging, along with 3 SagaPro, for reference.
SagaPro can decrease the number of bathroom trips at night due to nocturia.
How much of Iceland is affected by the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption?
Short answer: Though this is serious by default, the direct implications for Iceland as a whole have been exaggerated by the international media in some cases.
The Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull erupted recently and has had considerable impact on daily life in Europe. The cloud emitted from the volcano reached Europe and caused an unprecedented ban in air traffic.
Latest news indicates that the eruption may be subsiding and the ash cloud has lessened considerably.
Impact on people living close to Eyjafjallajökull
People living close to the volcano had to evacuate their homes because of the threat of floods (the volcano is underneath a glacier). As the days went by, their farms were covered in large amounts of ash.
Many farms will need time to regain their full productivity and Icelanders are very sympathetic toward those having difficulties.
Is Iceland affected as a whole by the eruption?
Iceland is a large island (103.000 square kilometers) and the eruption is in the southernmost tip of the country. Winds have blown the ash directly out to sea as seen on the picture below. There has been no sign of the ash in the capital area or in any other areas outside the one closest to the volcano.
Is SagaMedica affected by the eruption?
SagaMedica has enough raw material to last for a long time, so there will be no shortage and our production is not affected by the eruption at all. Also, we harvest material in many places in Iceland, far away from the volcano. In that sense, our production capacity is not affected.
We’re not downplaying the eruption; it’s as serious as others like it. But please be aware that Iceland is a perfectly safe place to visit. The media attention has been rather one-sided and probably skewed because of the disproportionate effect the eruption has had on air traffic in Europe.

Icelandic Angelica gets her own Facebook page
Our darling Angelica now has her own Facebook page! She really deserves it; she’s a great model and a wonderful representative of SagaMedica and the history of Icelandic herbalism.
Angelica is very talkative and loves attention! She’s always posting pictures of herself on her Facebook page, and if you have any pictures featuring her, whether in Icelandic nature or other places she’s traveled to, she’d love it if you posted them too.

You can find her page here:

SagaMedica develops a new computer system for marketing efforts
We are having a new computer system developed, which will help us market our products abroad, through resellers. The resellers will be linked to individual customers ensuring their rightful commission for residual sales resulting from their marketing effort.
This means that people selling our products abroad will also get a commission if their customers decide to shop through our online store. In fact, this new infrastructure is specifically meant to channel sales through our web store and ensure that everyone gets their share.
This development received a grant from the Icelandic Centre for Research.
