We had first heard about Heartland Products when researching safe soaps. A reader sent us a gallon of their “botanical” soap.

On the soap, they list their ingredients as: pure water, amino acids, minerals, and other ingredients derived from leafy green, edible and seed-bearing plants.

We figured, this must be the natural stuff if this is where they’re getting their materials.

So, we contacted the company asking if they’d like a review of their products. We got back one letter asking us: Who are you? And we replied.

Then nothing.

About a year later, we called the company and asked: “Have you fired the person who answers your emails?”

That got a laugh. Especially when we told them we loved their products and wanted to tell our readers about them.

Two things impressed us right away about some of the products they sent us to review. The first was that we discovered that L-Tryptophan is back on the market. This is the amino acid in turkey that puts us all to sleep after a Thanksgiving meal. It had been removed from the market by our blessed FDA. But it’s back and available at Heartland Products under the name Hibernation.

The second was Lice Arrest™. Though it can rid your child’s hair of lice and nits, it’s not even considered a pesticide. It is completely biodegradable with no residual contamination and lice do not develop any resistance to Lice Arrest™.

Finally, there is Bug Arrest™. If you’re tired of spraying poisonous chemicals all around your home, then try some Bug Arrest™. Spray it on pets, use it in your carpet shampoo, and spray it on your plants.

We loved their products and hope that they continue to thrive. They are Heartland Products and are found at www.heartlandnatural.com.
