VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS

Sea Buckthorn

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 cardio-vascular 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 support normal fetal development, protect eye health, contribute to the health of the cardio-vascular system, 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.

Ginger juice

Phenolic compounds

The phenolic compounds in ginger are mainly gingerols, shogaols and paradols. They show antioxidant activity, antitumor activity, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, antimicrobial activity and hepatoprotective activity.

Terpene compounds

There are several terpene components in ginger, such as beta-bisabolen, alpha-curcumen, zingiberen, alpha-farnesen and beta-sesquifelandren, which are considered to be the main constituents of ginger essential oils. They have demonstrated antitumor activity by inducing cell apoptosis.

Flavonoid

The flavonoids in ginger have a powerful antioxidant action.

POSSIBLE BENEFITS

Sea buckthorn juice

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, high amounts of carotenoids and vitamin E, minerals (K, Na, Mg, Ca, Fe, Zn, Se), monosaccharides, amino acids, flavonoids, fatty acids, glycerolphospholipids, 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.

Ginger juice

Antioxidant effect

Antioxidants are substances that play an important role in neutralizing free radicals and oxidative stress. Ginger is the source of a large number of antioxidants and also plays an important role in reducing lipid oxidation and inhibits disease pathogenesis.

Anti-inflammatory effect

Inflammation is a complex immune process and various mediators such as interleukins, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and anti-inflammatory cytokines are involved in this process. Ginger inhibits the synthesis of these substances involved in inflammation.

Anti-tumor effect

Ginger and its constituents have an anti-tumor effect explained by regulating a tumor cell suppressor gene and inducing cancer cell death.

Antimicrobial effect

Ginger shows antimicrobial activity against strains such as E. coli, Salmonella typhi, Bacillus subtilis. Ginger rhizome contains several constituents that have both antibacterial and antifungal effects. Gingerol and shogaol are identified as the most active antibacterial and antifungal agents.

Anti-diabetic effect

Ginger and its constituents have been shown to play an essential role in the control of diabetes mellitus and its complications through their antihyperglycemic effect. The exact mechanism of action of ginger in the control of diabetes is not fully understood, but may be due to the inhibition of oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory process.

Neuroprotective effect

Ginger and its constituents have an important neuroprotective action. The exact mechanism of action of ginger is not fully known, but ginger is believed to be neuroprotective due to its phenolic and flavonoid compounds. Some studies suggest that it has a neuroprotective effect by accelerating the brain's antioxidant defense mechanisms.

Beneficial effect in osteoarthritis

Ginger has a significant role in the management of knee osteoarthritis.

Gastroprotective effect

Ginger and its constituents show an important role in preventing ulcers by increasing mucin secretion.

Antiemetic effect

Ginger and its constituents have a significant effect on nausea and vomiting. The exact mechanism of action of ginger on nausea and vomiting is unclear, but it is thought that such an effect is due to the constituents present in ginger, including gingerols, shogaols and galanolactone. Animal model studies have shown that ginger extract possesses antiserotonergic effects that may explain the effect against nausea and vomiting.

Hepatoprotective effect

Ginger and its constituents have an important hepatoprotective action. Ginger has a protective effect against hepatotoxicity induced by certain toxic substances or drugs.

Effect on migraine

A major study has shown that taking ginger powder can relieve the symptoms of a migraine attack.

Good for your eyes

Ginger and its constituents play an important role in the management of diabetes and its associated symptoms, including diabetic retinopathy.

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 effects

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 conditions (cancer)

Oncologic disorders or 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 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 damage

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. Hyperglycaemia 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.

Nausea

Nausea is an uncomfortable sensation in the back of the throat or in the stomach. It may also be accompanied by dizziness or difficulty swallowing. Nausea is often associated with vomiting but does not always lead to vomiting. Nausea can be a symptom of many different conditions such as gastroenteritis, food poisoning, motion sickness, pregnancy or migraine.

Migraine

A migraine is a severe headache that causes a throbbing-type pain on one side of the head. The headache phase of a migraine usually lasts at least four hours, but can last for several days. Migraine can be aggravated by physical activity, bright light, loud noises, strong odors.

Diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition that makes the blood vessels in the retina vulnerable. The early stages of diabetic retinopathy usually do not show any noticeable symptoms. Some people notice problems with reading or distance vision. In the later stages of the disease, blood vessels in the retina begin to bleed into the vitreous and at this point the patient may notice spots in the visual field caused by the bleeding.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition that can cause inflammation, pain and stiffness in the joints and adjacent tissues.

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.
