Curcuminoids
Benefits of Turmeric
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. Curcumin may help delay ageing and fight age-related chronic diseases.
Oxidative Stress & Inflammation:
- Curcumin is effective against oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, which is believed to play major roles in almost every chronic, Western disease, including cancer, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome and Alzheimer’s.
- Curcumin has great anti-inflammatory properties. It is so powerful that it has shown to match the effectiveness of some anti-inflammatory drugs.
Heart Disease & Cancer Growth:
- Curcumin boosts the activity of the body’s own antioxidant enzymes and plays a role in protecting against heart disease. It has been studied as a beneficial herb in cancer treatment and has been found to counter the spread and growth of cancer.
Alzheimer’s & Arthritis:
- Curcumin may be useful in preventing and treating Alzheimer’s disease. Curcumin can cross the blood - brain barrier and has been shown to lead to various improvements in the pathological process of Alzheimer’s disease.
- Curcumin is effective as a treatment for Arthritis. In a study done on people with rheumatoid arthritis, curcumin showed to be more effective than an anti-inflammatory drug. Various other studies looked at the effects of curcumin on Arthritis and noted improvements in various symptoms.
Depression, Serotonin & Dopamine:
- Curcumin has shown some promise in treating depression. There is evidence that curcumin can boost the brain neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.
Vitamin C
Benefits of Vitamin C
- Vitamin C supports the function of various immune cells and enhances their ability to protect against infection. It’s also necessary for autophagy, which helps keep your immune system healthy by clearing out old cells and replacing them with new ones.
- Vitamin C functions as a powerful antioxidant, protecting against damage caused by free radicals.
- Supplementing with vitamin C has been shown to reduce the duration and severity of upper respiratory tract infections, including the common cold.
- Reviews demonstrated that regularly taking vitamin C supplements reduced common cold occurrences in individuals under high physical stress, like marathon runners and soldiers, by up to 50%.
Ginger
Benefits of Ginger Extract
Blood Sugar & Heart Health:
- Ginger has been shown to lower blood sugar levels and improve various heart disease risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes.
In a small, though very impressive, study in 2015 ginger lowered fasting blood sugar levels by 12%. It also dramatically improved HbA1c (a marker for long - term blood sugar levels), leading to a 10% reduction over a period of 12 weeks.
- Additionally, there was a 28% reduction in the ApoB/ApoA - I ratio, and a 23% reduction in markers for oxidized lipoproteins, both of which are major risk factors for heart disease.
Indigestion:
- In a study of 24 healthy individuals, 1.2g of ginger before a meal accelerated emptying of the stomach by up to 50%.
Cholesterol:
- There is evidence in both humans and animals that ginger can lead to significant reductions in LDL and blood triglyceride levels.
Brain Function & Alzheimer’s
- Ginger may improve brain function and protect against Alzheimer’s Disease: Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation can accelerate the ageing process. They are believed to be among the key drivers of Alzheimer’s disease and age-related cognitive decline.
- Studies on animals suggest that the antioxidants and bioactive compounds in ginger can inhibit inflammatory responses that occur in the brain. Studies also show that ginger can enhance brain function directly.
Infections:
- Gingerol, the bioactive substance in fresh ginger, can help lower the risk of infections. In fact, ginger extract can inhibit the growth of many different types of bacteria. It is very effective against the oral bacteria linked to inflammatory diseases in the gums, such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Fresh ginger may also be effective against the RSV virus, a common cause of respiratory infections.
Aloe
Benfits of Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera can lower blood sugar levels as shown in a study that was published in the International Journal of Phytotherapy and Phyto pharmacy.
Piperine
Benefits of Black Pepper
Piperine makes curcumin (which is generally very difficult for the body to absorb), 2000 times more bioavailable.
Fulvic Acid
Benefits of Fulvic Acid
Fulvic acid is the transport system used by all living organisms to facilitate the absorption of nutrients.
- By adding it to the Phyto Fuel mix, all the ingredients become 4 to 6 times more absorbable.
Detoxification and Anti-Viral properties:
- Fulvic acid also helps with detoxification. It naturally contains more than 75 minerals and trace elements, it is a potent antioxidant, and has very strong antiviral properties.
Health Benefits of Fulvic Acid
The potential of fulvic acid as a supplement went unnoticed for many years but recent research has started to uncover its’ enormous potential which includes the following:
- Improves Gut Health and Immune Function,
- Boosts Digestion and the Absorption of Nutrients,
- Protects Cognitive Health,
- Improves Detoxification,
- Lowers Free Radical Damage and Inflammation,
- Provides Excellent Antioxidant Ability,
- Aids Elimination of Heavy Metals,
- Improves Energy Levels and Lowers Pain,
- Repairs and Protects the Skin.
You may want to consider adding a fulvic acid supplement to your daily routine. Fulvic acid is believed to be more bio-available if it is taken in liquid form since it enters into the cells more effectively as opposed to solid forms.
Liposomes
Using Liposomes in supplements
A liposome is a microscopically small, spherical-shaped particle that has a lipid (fatty) bilayer surrounding an aqueous pocket. Liposomes can enhance the absorption and bioavailability of nutrients.
Liposomes in supplements protect the encapsulated nutrients from degradation in the digestive system. Furthermore, liposomes can make certain nutrients that are very hard for the body to absorb (e.g. curcumin) much more absorbable. Many nutrients, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, are fat-soluble. Thus the lipid bilayer facilitates absorption, improving the bioavailability of these vitamins.
