Arabic Names of Common Herbs, Supplements & Vitamins Part 2

Yes, you can find common herbs and supplements in Saudi. GNC has them. If you’re looking for things like fresh Lavender or Hibiscus then, check the sooq. I only know GNC to carry pills and liquid extracts, Wallaahu Aa’lam. The ‘Arabs call GNC “Armaal.”
 
Call to find one near you (KSA): 800 – 124 – 8444

  5. Century (plant) – 1. Aghaaful Amreekee. 2.Baahirah al Amreekiyyah.

    Siberian Ginseng = Jinsenj as Siybeeree.

    Some people spell and pronounce Ginseng with the letter Ghayn instead of Jeem – Ghinsengh.

    Astragalus Root – Jidhr (some say jadhr) Astroojaalus.

    As for the others, I am clueless. GNC may be able to assist you. Their staff speaks English. Here is the telephone number for the Sawary branch (Jeddah): 02 692 4528.
