VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS

Natural alkaline spring water

Naturally alkaline spring water is water that naturally has an alkaline pH (greater than 7) due to its alkaline mineral content. Water that is naturally alkaline becomes alkaline when it passes through rocks and picks up minerals that increase its alkalinity. This may have antioxidant effects, improve markers associated with DNA ageing and help improve bone density in people with osteoporosis.

Bee honey

Bee honey contains compounds such as proteins, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids. Pure honey is rich in flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, glycosides, anthraquinones and volatile compounds. Fructose and glucose are the most important sugars in honey and may contribute to its nutritional and physical effects. All water-soluble vitamins exist in honey, vitamin C being the most commonly identified. About 31 minerals have been found in honey, such as phosphorus, sodium, calcium, calcium, potassium, sulphur, magnesium and chlorine. There are also about 600 volatile components in honey that contribute to its potential biomedical effects. Flavonoids and polyphenols, which act as antioxidants, are the main bioactive molecules present in honey. Studies have demonstrated the presence of almost thirty types of polyphenols in honey. The existence and levels of these polyphenols in honey can vary depending on the floral source and climatic and geographical conditions. Honey honey ingredients have antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, anticarcinogenic and antimetastatic effects.

Licorice

Cumin contains the following vitamins and nutrients:

Total carotenoids

Carotenoids are yellow, orange or red pigments synthesized by plants. Carotenoids commonly found in nature are alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene. The antioxidant activity of carotenoids is very important and may reduce the risk of developing chronic degenerative diseases.

Beta-carotene

Beta-carotene is an orange pigment found in certain fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A, which means that in the human body it is converted into vitamin A (retinol). Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin and mucous membranes, a well-functioning immune system and eye health.

Licopen

Lycopene belongs to the group of carotenoids. It is recognized as a powerful antioxidant. Lycopene has been found to be effective in reducing the risk of cancer, diabetes mellitus, cardiac complications, oxidative stress-mediated dysfunction, inflammatory events, bone and skin diseases, liver, neuronal and reproductive disorders.

Lutein

Lutein is a carotenoid with anti-inflammatory properties. Lutein has a number of beneficial effects, particularly on eye health, improving or decreasing the risk of developing age-related macular diseases, which are the main causes of blindness and visual impairment. Furthermore, many studies have reported that lutein may also have positive effects in various conditions, improving cognitive function, lowering the risk of cancer and improving cardiovascular health.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. It is a water-soluble vitamin that occurs naturally in various fruits and vegetables. The human body cannot synthesize vitamin C endogenously, so it is an essential dietary component obtained exclusively from food. In addition to its function in the biosynthesis of certain compounds and its antioxidant properties, vitamin C plays an important role in immune function and improves iron absorption. Vitamin C is required for the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine and certain neurotransmitters and plays an important role in protein metabolism. Vitamin C is a physiologically important antioxidant and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants in the body, including vitamin E.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties, which means it has the ability to protect the body's cells from harmful free radicals in the environment. It is also an important nutrient for vision, the reproductive system, vascular health, brain and skin health.

Vitamin K

Vitamin K is an essential nutrient for the human body. Vitamin K is important for blood clotting and bone health, wound healing, but it is also involved in other body functions.

Calcium

Calcium is an essential mineral for healthy bones and teeth, with most of the body's calcium being stored in them. Calcium is also important for the muscular and nervous system, for the health of the cardiovascular system and in the synthesis of hormones involved in many functions of the human body.

Omega-3

Omega-3 is a group of essential fatty acids that play important roles in the human body. The most important omega-3 fatty acids are: ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). Sufficient intake of omega-3 acids can help normal fetal development, protect eye health, contribute to cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation and improve mental health.

Omega-6

Omega-6 fatty acids, such as gamma-linolenic acid, are a group of essential unsaturated fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids are important for the normal growth and development of the body. The human body requires a healthy balance between omega-6 fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-7

Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid) is a monounsaturated fatty acid. Omega-7 may be effective in managing metabolic disorders and improving skin quality.

Omega-9

Omega-9 is a group of non-essential, unsaturated fatty acids. They have benefits in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, improving depressive symptoms and cognitive function.

Phytosterols

Consuming plant sterols can reduce plasma cholesterol in humans. Lowering cholesterol is important for the prevention and management of coronary heart disease.

Amino acids

Sea buckthorn contains 18 of the 22 known amino acids. They are involved in important processes in the human body, such as energy production, tissue formation and fat metabolism, as well as in the proper functioning of the brain.

 

Elderberries

Elderberries contain pectins, anthocyanins and vitamin C. Elderberries are also rich in minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium, but also contain small amounts of iron, zinc and manganese.

Pectin

Pectins are dietary fibers with digestive benefits. Pectins can improve gut health.

Antociani

Anthocyanins are the substances that give fruits and vegetables their purple, blue or red color. Anthocyanins are the main antioxidant compounds in elderberry juice. The health benefits of anthocyanins are recognized in the literature, in particular their importance in the prevention of diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.

Magnesium

Magnesium is an abundant mineral in the human body. Magnesium is a cofactor for a multitude of enzyme systems that regulate various biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control and blood pressure regulation. Magnesium contributes to the structural development of bones and is required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA and glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. Magnesium also plays an important role in the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes, a process that is important for nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction and normal heart rhythm.

Iron

Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells that transfers oxygen from the lungs to tissues. As a component of myoglobin, another oxygen-supplying protein, iron supports muscle metabolism and connective tissue health. Iron is also necessary for physical and neurological development, cell function and the synthesis of some hormones.

Mangan

Manganese is an important metal for human health, being absolutely necessary for the body's development, metabolism and antioxidant system.

POSSIBLE BENEFITS

Licorice

Antioxidant effect

Many studies have confirmed the antioxidant activity of sea buckthorn compounds. Nutrients present in sea buckthorn have been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation and oxidative stress parameters. Bil Bilberry can be used as a natural source of antioxidants for the prevention and management of oxidative stress-related diseases.

Anti-inflammatory effect

The anti-inflammatory activity of sea buckthorn can be attributed to ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, citric acid derivatives and flavonoids. Its anti-inflammatory mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines and a reduction in the production of proinflammatory mediators. Cumin has shown promise as a source of bioactive compounds used for the management of inflammatory diseases.

Antimicrobial and antiviral effect

Extract from sea buckthorn pulp may have bactericidal effects on some periodontal pathogens and may inhibit bacterial biofilm formation. Phenolic compounds in sea buckthorn fruit appear to inhibit the growth of gram-negative bacteria. It also shows significant antiviral activity.

Immunostimulatory and immunomodulatory effect

Flavones in sea buckthorn fruit may modulate the production and levels of several signaling molecules associated with immune function and inflammation. The vitamins and antioxidants contained may provide important immune support.

Toning and vitaminizing effect

Sea buckthorn fruit contains vitamins A and C, alpha-tocopherol, large amounts of carotenoids and vitamin E, minerals (K, Na, Mg, Ca, Fe, Zn, Se), monosaccharides, amino acids, flavonoids, fatty acids, glycerophospholipids, phytosterols, zeaxanthin esters, polyphenolic compounds. Vitamin C is one of the major vitamins contained in sea buckthorn. Thanks to its rich vitamin and nutrient content, sea buckthorn can exert a toning and invigorating effect on the body.

Anti-cancer effect

Numerous studies support the anti-cancer effect of sea buckthorn and suggest that certain polyphenolic compounds may be responsible for this effect.

Lipid-lowering effect

Hypercholesterolemia is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The phytosterols present in sea buckthorn pulp play an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, in particular in the prevention of hypercholesterolemia. Supplementation with fruit or extract of sea buckthorn fruit significantly improves total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol („bad cholesterol”) and HDL-cholesterol („good cholesterol”) levels in people with dyslipidemia.

Anti-obesity effect

Oil from sea buckthorn fruit, also present in the pulp, may reduce obesity caused by hyperlipidemia. Also, powder obtained from sea buckthorn fruit may reduce obesity by altering the composition and structure of the gut microbiome.

Healing and regenerating effect

Sea buckthorn fruit and seed oil, also present in the pulp, contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids (omega-3, 6, 7), natural antioxidants, vitamins (E, K), carotenoids and phytosterols. All these substances protect cell membranes and stimulate cell regeneration. Palmitoleic acid is a component used in the treatment of burns and wound healing. Sea buckthorn oil also has protective effects and can relieve various types of gastric ulcers, chronic cervicitis and atopic dermatitis.

Anti-diabetic effect

The potential hypoglycaemic, triglyceride-lowering and antioxidant effects of sea buckthorn-based supplements indicate that sea buckthorn products could be useful for preventing diabetic complications associated with dyslipidaemia and oxidative stress.

Gastroprotective effect

Compounds called procyanidins in sea buckthorn play an important role in healing gastric lesions, possibly by accelerating mucosal repair. Compounds present in sea buckthorn fruit normalize gastric acid secretion and reduce inflammation as well as pro-inflammatory factors.

Neuroprotective effect

Quercetin reduces intracellular deposits of beta-amyloid, one of the causes of Alzheimer's disease. This action can be attributed to the high levels of antioxidants present in sea buckthorn. Antioxidants inhibit beta-amyloid-induced toxicity and prevent cell death by exerting a neuroprotective effect. In addition, sea buckthorn improves epileptiform activity in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus and reduces memory impairment. These effects can be attributed to the presence of flavonoids and other antioxidant compounds in sea buckthorn.

Hepatoprotective effect

Sea buckthorn extract and sea buckthorn oil have significant hepatoprotective activities. Sea buckthorn oil is rich in carotenoids and may be an important source of lutein. Carotenoids such as beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein and beta-cryptoxanthin exhibit hepatoprotective activity by reducing oxidative stress and regulating lipid metabolism in hepatocytes. Mechanisms for these effects may be associated with the regulation of lipid metabolism and oxidative stress and a reduction in inflammatory processes.

 

Elderberries

Toning and vitaminizing effect

Elderberries have many nutritional benefits. Elderberries are rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber, antioxidant flavonols such as quercetin and kempferol, and anthocyanins.

Antiviral effect

Elderberry extract has been found to help reduce the duration and severity of symptoms caused by the flu virus. Although these results are promising, further studies are needed.

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect

Pressed elderberry juice is rich in antioxidant compounds such as protocatechuic and chlorogenic acid, and various phytonutrients such as the flavonoids quercetin and rutin. Flavonoids have anti-inflammatory effects and protect cells from oxidative damage that can lead to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and cognitive diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia.

Cholesterol-lowering effect

Elderberries are rich in antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation as well as cholesterol and blood pressure. The phytonutrients and fiber content of elderberries help lower circulating cholesterol levels.

Cardioprotective effect

By reducing cholesterol levels, elderberries can protect the heart and blood vessels from the effects of atherosclerosis. Elderberry can also help reduce blood pressure.

Beneficial for the respiratory system

Elder contains quercetin, which is a flavonoid and antioxidant known to support lung function, particularly in people suffering from asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Beneficial for the digestive system

The fiber content of elderberries supports intestinal health, easy digestion and a strong immune system. Elderberries improve gut health by providing prebiotics, a form of fiber, which serve as food for beneficial bacteria in the gut flora.

Hypoglycemic effect

The phytonutrients and polyphenols in elderberries help the body to process glucose more efficiently, making elderberries a useful aid for managing blood sugar.

 

Bee honey

Antioxidant effect

Honey has the ability to act as a dietary antioxidant. Phenolic substances have been shown to be mainly responsible for the antioxidant activity of honey. Antioxidants help to neutralize reactive oxygen species in the body, which can accumulate in cells and have harmful effects. This damage can contribute to conditions such as premature ageing, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Antimicrobial effect

Honey can act as a natural antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal agent. It contains hydrogen peroxide and glycosidase and has a low pH, which means it can exert an inhibitory effect on bacteria and fungi.

Anti-inflammatory effect

Chronic inflammation can have harmful effects on the body. Honey reduces the body's inflammatory response. The phenolic content in honey is responsible for the anti-inflammatory effect. These phenolic compounds and flavonoids suppress the pro-inflammatory activity of cyclooxygenase-2 and nitric oxide.

Immunostimulatory and immunomodulatory effect

Honey increases the production of T and B lymphocytes, antibodies, eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes and natural killer cells during primary and secondary immune responses. Consumption of honey leads to the production of short-chain fatty acid fermenting agents (SCFAs). The immunomodulatory actions of SCFAs have been confirmed in studies, therefore honey may induce the immune response via these compounds. Nigero-oligosaccharides, a type of sugars present in honey, have also been found to exert immunostimulatory effects.

Cough suppressant effect

Honey can work as a natural cough suppressant for children over 1 year of age. Due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it is effective in relieving night cough and other common cold symptoms.

Neuroprotective effect

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of honey may have a beneficial influence on brain health. Raw honey may even have some benefits on cognitive function. It can boost memory function, provide neuroprotective effects and counteract the effects of oxidative stress on the brain, reduce the risk of developing metabolic syndrome, which can increase the risk of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, and improve mood and resilience to stress.

Toning and vitaminizing effect

Honey contains specific nutrients that can make it a healthy and beneficial food for a person's diet. The exact nutrient levels and chemical composition of raw honey are influenced by the types of flowers from which bees collect nectar. But in general, honey contains health-promoting substances such as antioxidants, amino acids and vitamins.

Beneficial for the digestive system

Honey is sometimes used to treat digestive problems such as diarrhea, although research on its effectiveness is limited. Raw honey contains prebiotics, which nourish beneficial gut flora bacteria. A healthy gut microbiome is very important for healthy digestion.

AFFECTIONS

Viral infections

Viral infections are contagious diseases caused by viruses. There are several types of viral infections, including respiratory infections, gastric infections, herpes infections, skin infections and many others. The symptoms of a viral infection will depend on the part of the body affected and the virus contacted. Most viral infections go away on their own, but some infections can become severe and require treatment.

Cardiovascular diseases

Cardiovascular diseases are a group of disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels. They include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease and other related conditions. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally.

Oncologic diseases (cancer)

Cancer is a large group of diseases that can start in almost any organ or tissue of the body when abnormal cells grow out of control and invade adjacent parts or spread to other organs. Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. Lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach and liver cancers are the most common types of cancer in men, while breast, colorectal, lung, cervical and thyroid cancers are the most common in women.

Hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis

Hypercholesterolemia is the term used to define a high level of cholesterol in the blood. Excess cholesterol in the blood forms fatty deposits in the walls of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that feed the heart. As cholesterol builds up, it causes atherosclerotic plaques to form, which narrow and stiffen the walls of the arteries. This condition is called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerotic plaques can block arteries and limit the amount of oxygen-rich blood that can reach the heart. This increases a person's risk of developing angina pectoris and heart attack.

Gastric ulcer

Gastric ulcer is a lesion that develops in the lining of the stomach. Ulcers can also affect part of the intestine. This type of ulcer is called a duodenal ulcer. Gastric and duodenal ulcers are also called peptic ulcers. Gastric ulcers are pain and burning in the center of the abdomen, indigestion and nausea.

Liver disease

The term liver disease refers to chronic conditions that affect the liver over time. Viral infections, toxic poisoning and certain metabolic disorders are among the common causes of chronic liver disease. Chronic liver disease progresses in about four stages: hepatitis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and eventually liver failure.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot use the insulin it does produce efficiently. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose. Hyperglycemia is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and, over time, leads to serious damage to many systems and organs, especially nerves and blood vessels.

Eczema or atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a chronic disease that causes inflammation, redness and irritation of the skin. Atopic dermatitis causes extreme itching of the skin. Scratching leads to worsening, crusting and flaking. In most cases, there are periods of time when the disease worsens, called relapses, followed by periods when the skin partly or completely improves, called remissions.

Macular degeneration

Macular degeneration is an eye disease that affects central vision. This eye condition is age-related and occurs mostly in people over the age of 50. Macular degeneration affects the macula, the central part of the retina. The retina is at the back of the eye and controls central vision, while peripheral vision is unaffected.
