• The studies show that - Standardised natural and concentrated cinnamon extract:
• reduces blood glucose and triglycerides, reduces LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes. The researchers suggest that the inclusion of cinnamon into the diet of patients could reduce the risk of factors associated with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
• Water-alcoholic extracts from the cinnamon bark - have antibacterial and antifungal properties - reduce fermentation processes in the digestive tract and inhibit the growth of protozoa/coprozoa and fungus (e.g. Candida Albicans)

The main components of the raw material are glycosides called gymnemic acids
• stimulation of pancreatic β-cells, increase in insulin secretion confirmed in clinical trials.
• blocking of taste receptors (inhibit the ability to taste sweet or bitter) without affecting the ability to taste the other flavours
• CHROMIUM: The raw material contains a chromium bioelement, which is a part of GTF (Glucose Tolerant Factor - that is the most important regulator of the sense of hunger and satiety), that controls insulin and affects the normalisation of blood sugar levels. This factor supports the transformation of carbohydrates and thus prevents the transformation of carbohydrates into fat and improves the use of glucose in cells. It then prevents the absorption of all sugar particles in the intestines, which ensures the maximum usage of this part of sugar that remains in the body to produce energy. It does make it easier to maintain an adequate level of glucose in people who do not follow a strict diet. The correct supply of this element to the body can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes, while its lack may potentiate symptoms of a disease. Attention! Important! We are afraid of hypoglycaemia in healthy people? In people after using Gurmar (Gymnema Sylvestre), the effect of lowering the glucose level was not observed.

• Blueberry juice has healing properties as well as astringent and anti-diarrheal properties.

• A valuable tool to fight against osteoarthritis. Anti-inflammatory, analgesic
• Maqua leaves have antibacterial effect.
• Increases hair growth, acts anty-aging on the skin and inhibits lipid peroxidation.
• Has an anti-diabetic effect.
• Helps on preventing an atherosclerosis.

Properties: Chicory root - extract medicinal material.
• Prebiotic polysaccharides (inulin 40-60%), Inulin contained in chicory promotes the development of symbiotic gastrointestinal microflora, reduces the absorption of cholesterol, influences immunotropically, stimulating the immune system GALT.
• For the treatment of diabetes, metabolic disorders, for the reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract (prebiotic - inulin). Prevents constipation. It relieves the symptoms of diabetes and metabolic poisoning. Increases detoxification.
• Confirmed choleretic and cholagogic effects - that's why chicory preparations are recommended in the prevention and treatment of liver edema, bile stasis, cholelithiasis, lack of appetite and fat dyspepsia. According to FP VI, chicory root is used as an appetite-enhancing, digestive and hypoglycemic preparation.


Use: Chicory root extracts has biligenic, cholagogic, diuretic, digestive, prebiotic and hypoglycemic properties

Properties:
• shielding and anti-inflammatory - in peptic ulcer disease.
• Can lower cholesterol and blood sugar.
• Bile, diastolic, bile, stimulate the secretion of pancreatic, gastric and intestinal juice,
• Strengthening - stimulating the regeneration of all tissues, anabolic
• activating hemedema (fenugreek is a natural activator of blood cell production processes),
• Increased phosphorus retention in the body (stops phosphorus in the body - cachexia or fitness.).
• Increases protein synthesis, raises the concentration of high-energy compounds in the body (ATP, phosphocreatine).

Barberry extract has an anti-swelling, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-depressant effect and supports the treatment of diabetes. The bark and roots have antibiotic properties, they contain isoquinoline alkaloids, mainly berberine (1.24% [8]), berbamin (2.5% [8]), palmatine and magnoflorine. Barberry was recommended in the absence of appetite, in cholelithiasis, in chronic hepatitis, cholecystitis, as a diastolic agent also in kidney stones and in many other conditions. Berberine has antibacterial, antiprotozoal, antidiarrheal, anticancer, antidiabetic, hypotensive, anti-depressant and anti-inflammatory properties, and lowers cholesterol. Cameroon contains active ingredients with a strength comparable to that of antibiotics. Fruits are a natural source of easily absorbable vitamins and carotenoids that are provitamin A. Due to the high content of vitamin C (80 mg in 100 g), barberry is called the Polish lemon, lemon of the North, acidic acid.

Use: Diabetes, liver inflammation, cholelithiasis, Intestinal flora disorders

The burdock extract contains inulin necessary to treat diabetes. Burdock increases the secretion of insulin by the pancreas.
Properties:

Water and alcohol extracts of burdock inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, increase the secretion of bile, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice, have a diastolic and hypoglycemic effect. They increase the secretion of sweat and urine, along with harmful and unnecessary metabolites. Burdock juice strengthens, strengthens immunity, activates tissue renewal processes and regulates sebum secretion. Burdock preparations inhibit inflammation in the body. Arctigenic acid is responsible for the antidiabetic effect, which probably affects the increase of insulin secretion by the pancreas, which is a process disturbed in the case of diabetes. Other studies indicate the activity of sitosterol derivatives present in the root and fruits of Arctium lappa. They lower the sugar level due to the inhibition of β-glucosidase, which delays the absorption of glucose and lowering postprandial hyperglycemia. Scientific research has shown that burdock is rich in lignans that are present in all parts of the plant. According to many researchers, they are responsible for the multidirectional activity of raw materials rich in these compounds. The most important representatives of this group of compounds are arctigenin (in leaves, fruits, seeds and roots), arktin (leaves, fruits, roots), trachelogenin (fruits), lappaol F (fruits, roots, seeds) and diarctigenin (fruits, roots and seeds) . It has been proven that anti-inflammatory action of burdock is based on inhibition of the induced form of nitric oxide synthase (and NOS), on the activity of proinflammatory cytokines, activation of antioxidant enzymes and scavenging of free radicals. Lappaol F, diarctigenin and arctygenin are particularly active in this field. Excessive production of nitric oxide by iNOS is associated with the course of various diseases, such as arthritis, autoimmune diseases or chronic inflammation. Bioactive lignans also show promising anticancer activity, consisting in induction of programmed cell death (apoptosis) on tumor cell lines and inhibition of tumor growth by reducing its tolerance to glucose deficiency. This activity requires confirmation with further research, but it is already known that natural lignans are compounds with high therapeutic potential.

Use: Diabetes, psoriasis, toxin cleansing, digestive disorders
