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
Acacia honey is made from the nectar of acacia flowers (Robinia pseudoacacia). This type of honey is lighter in color and crystallizes more slowly than other types of honey.
High purity acacia honey contains various bioactive compounds such as vitamins, phenolic acids, flavonoid and fatty acids. It is highly nutritious and has a powerful potential antioxidant and immunomodulator.
In addition to its use as a natural sweetener, honey is used as a anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial.
Acacia honey contains:
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. It is a water-soluble vitamin that occurs naturally in various fruits and vegetables as well as honey. 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.
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 cardio-vascular system and in the synthesis of hormones involved in many functions of the human body.
Potassium
Potassium is an important mineral for multiple functions in the human body, including proper functioning of the kidneys and heart, 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 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.
Flavonoid
Based on the literature, the most common flavonoids found in honey are pinocembrin, apigenin, kaempferol, kaempferol, quercetin, pinobanksin, luteolin, galangin, hesperedin and isorhamnetin. Flavonoids may help reduce the risk of or delay the onset of cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.
Amino acids
Proline is the most abundant amino acid in honey, followed by glutamic acid, alanine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, leucine and isoleucine. Amino acids are required for the synthesis of proteins and other important nitrogen-containing compounds such as creatine, peptide hormones and some neurotransmitters.
POSSIBLE BENEFITS
Sea Buckthorn
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. Bilberry also exhibits significant antiviral activity. Acacia honey also has antibacterial 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, high 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 chemicals 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.
Acacia honey
Antioxidant effect
Honey has a strong antioxidant activity due to its rich content of phenolic acids and flavonoids. This antioxidant capacity of honey helps to decrease the risk of developing several acute and chronic conditions such as inflammatory diseases, allergies, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, oncologic 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 found in honey can alleviate inflammatory processes. Honey may also regulate the production of proinflammatory cytokines, substances that play an important role in inflammation.
Antimicrobial and antiviral effect
The antimicrobial activity of honey is due to the enzymatic production of hydrogen peroxide. Several studies have also demonstrated variable antiviral activity of honey against 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
In several studies, people with upper respiratory tract infections who were given honey to reduce coughing reported improved coughing and better sleep. These studies also included 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 defense process. The immunomodulatory effect of honey can be explained by its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
Toning and vitaminizing effect
Honey is a highly nutritious natural product, rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Anti-cancer effect
Many studies support the anticancer effect of honey, which may be due to polyphenolic compounds. It has been shown that honey can exert a variable inhibitory effect on the development of cancer cells through apoptotic, anti-proliferative and anti-metastatic apoptotic phenomena.
Neuroprotective effect
Several studies on honey supplementation suggest that honey polyphenols have neuroprotective and nootropic effects. The polyphenolic constituents of honey may neutralize reactive oxygen species that cause neurotoxicity and ageing, as well as pathological beta-amyloid deposition. Beta-amyloid is a peptide considered to be a major component of extracellular plaques in Alzheimer's disease and related amyloidopathies.
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.
