Lime contains:
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 needs 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.
Acacia honey

Anti-cancer effect
Studies support the anticarcinogenic effect of sea buckthorn, attributable to the polyphenolic compounds present in the fruit.
Lipid-lowering effect
The phytosterols in sea buckthorn help prevent cardiovascular disease, especially hypercholesterolemia. Supplementation with sea buckthorn fruit or extract improves total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol levels in people with dyslipidemia.
Anti-obesity effect
Sea buckthorn oil and powder may reduce obesity, including by changing the composition of the gut microbiome.
Healing and regenerating effect
Sea buckthorn oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins (E, K), carotenoids and phytosterols, which protect cell membranes and stimulate regeneration. Palmitoleic acid is useful in the treatment of burns and wound healing, and sea buckthorn oil can soothe gastric ulcers, cervicitis and atopic dermatitis.
Anti-diabetic effect
Cumin has hypoglycemic and antioxidant potential and is useful for preventing diabetic complications associated with dyslipidemia and oxidative stress.
Gastroprotective effect
Procyanidins and other compounds in sea buckthorn accelerate gastric mucosal repair, normalize gastric acid secretion and reduce inflammation, with a gastroprotective effect.
Neuroprotective effect
Cumin reduces beta-amyloid deposits associated with Alzheimer's disease, inhibits beta-amyloid-induced toxicity and prevents cell death. It also improves brain activity and memory, thanks to flavonoids and antioxidants.
Hepatoprotective effect
Sea buckthorn extract and oil have a significant hepatoprotective effect, reducing oxidative stress, regulating lipid metabolism and inflammatory processes in the liver.
Organic honey
Antioxidant effect
Honey has a strong antioxidant activity due to its rich content of phenolic acids and flavonoids. This antioxidant capacity contributes to reducing the risk of acute and chronic conditions such as inflammatory diseases, allergies, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and oncologic diseases[2][4][9].
Anti-inflammatory effect
Honey contains flavonoids and polyphenols such as quercetin, kaempferol, chrysin and apigenin, compounds that can alleviate inflammatory processes. Honey may also regulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, reducing inflammation in the body[4][6].
Antimicrobial and antiviral effect
The antimicrobial activity of honey is mainly due to the enzymatic production of hydrogen peroxide and phenolic compounds. Studies have also demonstrated a variable antiviral activity of honey against viruses such as herpes simplex, HIV, respiratory syncytial virus, varicella-zoster virus, adenoviruses and influenza viruses[7][8][9].
Cough suppressant effect
Honey can relieve coughs, especially in children, and can help improve sleep quality in people with upper respiratory tract infections[6][9].
Immunostimulatory and immunomodulatory effect
Honey stimulates the immune system by increasing the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes, cells involved in the body's defense. The immunomodulatory effects are due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of honey[1][4][9].
Toning and vitaminizing effect
Honey is a nutritious natural product, rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, toning and vitaminizing the body[4][5].
Anti-cancer effect
Numerous studies support the anticarcinogenic effect of honey, attributed to polyphenolic compounds. Honey can inhibit the growth of cancer cells by inducing apoptosis, anti-proliferative and anti-metastatic action[9].
Neuroprotective effect
Polyphenols in honey may have neuroprotective and nootropic effects, neutralizing reactive oxygen species involved in neurotoxicity and ageing. They may also reduce pathologic beta-amyloid deposition associated with Alzheimer's disease[1].
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.
Bacterial infections
Bacterial infections are caused by small, single-celled organisms called bacteria that invade the body. An overgrowth of bacteria causes a bacterial infection. Different types of bacteria can cause different symptoms and affect different systems and organs. These infections are common and there are multiple ways in which they are transmitted.
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 supply blood to 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 ulcers
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.
Cough
Coughing is a reflex reaction to keep the airways clear and plays an important role in expelling excess mucus and other irritants. Coughing may occur as a result of a medical condition, such as asthma or a respiratory infection, or because of difficulty swallowing.
Astenie
Asthenia is a broad term describing general tiredness and weakness that causes both physical and mental symptoms.
Neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases are diseases that gradually affect and destroy parts of the nervous system, particularly areas of the brain. These diseases usually develop slowly, gradually and the effects and symptoms tend to appear later in life. This term does not refer to just one type of condition, but is a general term that covers several types of disease.
