Weights

Honey is produced by bees from the nectar of flowering plants. Depending on the floral source used, there are more than 320 varieties of honey in the world, differing in color, scent and flavor. More than just a natural sweetener, honey has many therapeutic indications, helping to keep the body healthy.

Acacia honey is characterized by a fine and delicate taste, fluidity, clarity and light color. In terms of composition, it is distinguished by its high fructose level and its numerous bioactive compounds such as vitamins, phenolic acids, flavonoids and fatty acids. Thanks to these characteristics, it is highly nutritious and has a powerful antioxidant and immunomodulatory effect.

INGREDIENT

100% organic acacia honey, raw, straight from the beehive. Raw honey is not subjected to heating or pasteurization, preserving all natural enzymes, vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds.

VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS

Bee honey is a complex natural food rich in proteins, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids. It contains mainly fructose and glucose, sugars that are a natural source of energy and contribute to metabolic processes. Pure honey is an important source of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and antioxidant polyphenols, together with phenolic acids and hundreds of volatile compounds. It also provides the body with water-soluble vitamins, especially vitamin C, and essential minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium and magnesium. Thanks to this composition, it has antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, anticarcinogenic and antimetastatic effects.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is water-soluble and occurs naturally in various fruits and vegetables, as well as in honey. The human body cannot synthesize vitamin C endogenously, as this essential dietary component is 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.

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.

Potassium

Potassium is an important mineral for multiple body functions, including proper kidney and heart function, muscle contraction and nerve signal transmission. Potassium is present in all tissues of the body and is necessary for normal cell function due to its role in maintaining intracellular fluid volume.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral present in significant amounts in the body as a cofactor for a multitude of enzyme systems that regulate biochemical reactions, 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 (an essential antioxidant). Magnesium is also involved in the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes, a process important for nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction and heart function.

Flavonoid

Flavonoids in honey may help reduce the risk or delay the onset of cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. The most commonly identified flavonoids in honey are pinocembrin, apigenin, kaempferol, quercetin, quercetin, pinobanksin, luteolin, galangin, hesperedin and isorhamnetin. Hesperidin is a type of flavonoid with important therapeutic effects by neutralizing free radicals and anti-inflammatory effect.

Amino acids

Amino acids are necessary for the synthesis of proteins and other important nitrogen-containing compounds such as creatine, peptide hormones and some neurotransmitters. The most abundant amino acid present in honey is proline, followed by glutamic acid, alanine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, leucine and isoleucine.

POSSIBLE BENEFITS

Antioxidant effect

Honey has a strong antioxidant activity due to its rich content of phenolic acids and flavonoids. Antioxidants are substances that neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, helping to decrease the risk of developing many acute and chronic diseases such as inflammatory diseases, allergies, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, oncological diseases and many others.

Anti-inflammatory effect

In terms of phytochemical composition, honey is rich in flavonoids and polyphenols such as quercetin, kaempferol, chrysin and apigenin. Flavonoids and polyphenols found in honey, such as quercetin, kaempferol, chrysin and apigenin, can alleviate inflammatory processes. Honey may also regulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, substances that play an important role in inflammation.

Antimicrobial and antiviral effect

The broad spectrum antimicrobial activity of honey is due to the enzymatic production of hydrogen peroxide. Honey also acts on a wide range of viruses, such as herpes simplex virus, human immunodeficiency virus, respiratory syncytial virus, varicella-zoster virus, adenovirus and influenza viruses.

Cough suppressant effect

Thanks to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, honey acts as a cough soother, helping to reduce coughing and help you sleep better at night, including children.

Immunostimulatory and immunomodulatory effect

It is well known that honey is a natural immunostimulator that enhances the proliferation of T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes, cells that play an important role in the body's natural defense mechanisms. The immunomodulatory effect of honey can be explained by its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Tonic and vitaminizing effect

Honey is a highly nutritious natural product due to its high content of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Anticarcinogenic effect

Thanks to its polyphenolic compounds, honey can inhibit the growth of cancer cells through its anti-proliferative and anti-metastatic action.

Neuroprotective effect

The polyphenols in honey have neuroprotective effects and help improve cognitive function by combating oxidative stress and preventing the pathologic deposition of beta-amyloid. Beta-amyloid is the main component of the extracellular plaques present in Alzheimer's disease and associated amyloidopathies.

CONDITIONS AND SYMPTOMS

Viral infections

Viral infections are contagious diseases caused by viruses, which can affect different parts of the body, from the respiratory tract to the skin or digestive system. Symptoms depend on the location and type of virus, and most viral infections resolve spontaneously, but some can progress severely and require medical treatment.

Cough

Coughing is the body's reflex reaction to keep the airways clear, facilitating the elimination of excess mucus and other irritants. Coughing can occur as a result of a medical condition such as asthma, in respiratory infections or in association with difficulty swallowing.

Astenie

Asthenia is a state of general tiredness and weakness that does not go away with rest. Symptoms manifest physically, emotionally and intellectually.

Neurodegenerative diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases are chronic, incurable conditions that gradually deteriorate the nervous system, particularly areas of the brain, affecting cognitive and motor functions. They develop slowly over time and symptoms become visible in old age.

Oncologic diseases (cancer)

Oncologic diseases or cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that can invade adjacent tissues or spread to other organs. It is the second leading cause of death globally. Lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach and liver cancers are the most common types found in men, while breast, colorectal, lung, cervical and thyroid cancers are the most common in women.Hypercholesterolemia is a major 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. Studies have concluded that supplementation with fruit or sea buckthorn fruit extract significantly improved total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”) and HDL-cholesterol (“good cholesterol”) levels in people with hyperlipidemia.
