Curcuma or turmeric is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant cultivated in India and Indonesia. Its root is canaliculate. Inside it has an orange, pulpy consistency. In temperate zones turmeric can not be grown in the garden. In the 1870s chemists noticed that the orange colored curcuma root changed its color to red due to alkali. This recognition led to the development of ˝curcuma paper˝ which was widely used in chemical analysis as an indicator of acidity and alkalinity at the end of the 19th century. Later litmus paper took over this task.
In European and American cuisine turmeric is relatively new, but it has a rich history in its homeland India where its well known and has been consumed for thousands of years. Curcuma enriches not only cuisine, but also herbal medicine. In India's traditional Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric is a symbol of wealth. They thought it cleans the whole body. Traditional Chinese doctors also use it. Curcuma has been valued for thousands of years in India because of its benefits, so it is not surprising that most research was conducted there, exploring the main ingredient - the curcumin. Turmericor curcuma has a pleasant taste and aroma but tastes bitter in large quantities.

Boswellia Serrata (incense) in the nature
|
|
Boswellia Serrata is the scientific name for incense. It represents a group of short, tropical trees and bush. The plant is netted by pouches where the special balm or resin is formed and accumulates. Incense is one of the the oldest commercial and luxury goods, which is discovered in therapy again. Different types of resins have been present at religious ceremonies since ancient times. Ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians knew it as well, they used it as censerin at religious ceremonies or as bactericidal and air freshener. Indian Ayurvedic medicine uses this plant as well and aromatherapy also likes to promote mental relaxation with it. The perfume industry utilizes the essential oil produced from incense as a fixative. It helps maintain healthy bones, joints and muscles.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin which is stored in the liver, adipose tissues, heart, muscles, blood, adrenal glands and hypophysis. It was discovered during the study of vegetable oils in the 1920s and 1930s, but it was only in the 1970s when vitamin E was recognized as vital for humans. Unlike other fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin E - just like vitamin B and C - can only remain in our body for a relatively short period of time.
The main natural sources of vitamin E are
Wheat germ, soybeans, vegetable oils, broccoli, brussels sprouts, spinach, whole grains and egg.

Why is vitmain E important?

It protects our cells against oxidative stress.
This One Year Product contains six different types of microflora in an increased number of germs, as well as Inulin improving efficiency.
Inulin and microflora
Microflora is formed by beneficial, living microorganisms, which survive the acidic environment in the gastrointestinal tract and help maintain the balance of healthy intestinal mircroflora. Our products contain high numbers of bacterial florea and inulin which helps their reproduction. Probiotics word also known as microflora is of Greek origin meaning life. R. B. Parker was the first who used the term probotic in 1974 for organisms and substances responsible for the balance of intestinal tract. The characteristiscs of probiotics are: human origin, non-pathogenic, resistant to the digestive effects of gastric acid, bile, saliva, pancreatic and intestinal fluids. They retain their resilience in food shelf life and technological processes. In addition, probiotics are capable of adhering to mucosal cells, have antimicrobial activity against potential pathogens, and reduce the adherence of pathogenic microbes to the mucosal surface. Probiotics are mostly lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. Most of the best-known probiotic lactic acid bacteria strains are Lactobacillus, smaller portion is Streptococcus genus. Prebiotics are natural nutrients, that are the sole nutrients of probiotics therefore promote their reproduction and prevalance. In the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract, the digestive enzymes do not break down the prebiotics and thus can reach the large intestine undigested. Prebiotics are dietary fibers, but water-soluble, therefore one of the best dietary fibers. In addition to their function of dietary fiber, their real utility lies in the fact that they are the exclusive nutrients of probiotics. Because of the lack of digestible nutrition in the large intestine where there is little food, the consumed prebiotics offer the possibility of the reproduction of human-friendly intestinal bacteria. Many foods contain prebiotics, for example: Jerusalem artichoke, chicory, onions, garlic, leeks, artichokes, whole grains, wheat, banana, flax, spinach, cabbage, chard, mustard, berries, legumes, milk and most mature cheese. Inulins are a type of prebiotics and actually dietary fibers that reach the large intestine undigested, enhance the reproduction and prevalance of probiotics. Their role: digestion, balance of the intestinal flora
Our bodies are connected with the outside world through our intestinal system that is about 7-9 meters in length (the largest area in our body). Therefore it is vulnerable by the potential attack of pathogens and toxic substances. Normally there are about 200 to 400 different types of bacterial strains in our bowels. In fetal life beneficial bacteria dominates in 95-98%. Healthy intestinal flora provides protection against a variety of pathogens, ensures the integrity of intestinal mucosa and helps the absorption of the needed nutrients. They produce many essential vitamins for our body. If the gastrointestinal tract's defense mechanisms weaken, it can cause intereference in the absorption processes. In order for probiotics to be effective in their environment, a large number is required which is at least 108 c.f.u./gram in the body. | What does the c.f.u. expression mean? c.f.u.: colony-forming units per milliliter, the number of viable microorganisms. The amount of bacteria is usually measured this way in products. However, inulin is given in milligram. As appropriate doses of at least 109 c.f.u. is accepted. | |
| What kind of probiotic products are effective? - | Prebiotics help the reproduction of probiotics, therefore products should contain inulin or fructo- oligosaccharides. | | - | They resist the effects of stomach acid, bile and digestive enzymes, so the live beneficial bacteria can reach the large intestine, where they are able to adhere and reproduce. One essential condition is that the bacteria keep their viability during their passage through the gastrointestinal tract. | | - | A good probiotic product should contain at least 5-6 strains, as we intend to make up the intestinal flora's multi-culture. | | - | During the warranty period and during technological processes they keep power of resistance. | | - | It contains of an appropriate volume of germs, the minimum quantity proposed by
specialist is 108 or 109 c.f.u. |
