Description Food supplement of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, resveratrol, curcumin, coenzyme Q10, tocotrienols and nutrients such as borage oil, useful for the integrity of cell membranes and skin trophism.
Properties Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA and DHA): these are fundamental components of cell membranes and precursors of a class of cellular messengers called eicosanoids, which play a crucial role in regulating a myriad of physiological functions. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
Borage oil: extracted from the seeds of Borago officinalis, it is useful for the integrity of cell membranes, skin trophism and joint function. Borage oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6 GLA), which in our body is converted into dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), a precursor of series 1 eicosanoids.
Polygonum cuspidatum: a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine for its antioxidant, tonic (useful for physical and mental tiredness) and purifying properties and to support the function of the cardiovascular system. Polygonum cuspidatum extract is rich in resveratrol, an active compound belonging to the polyphenol class, also found in red wine. Resveratrol is credited with explaining the so-called "French paradox". Despite a diet rich in saturated fats but also including regular consumption of red wine, the French enjoy better cardiovascular health than other populations with comparable saturated fat consumption (Americans, British, Germans, etc.).
Curcuma longa: a plant belonging to the same family as ginger (Zingiberaceae), traditionally used in India as a remedy for various ailments as well as a spice and colouring. It has digestive properties and is useful for maintaining joint function and as an antioxidant. Its characteristic bright yellow colour is due to polyphenolic pigments known as curcuminoids. Curcumin is the most abundant and most active curcuminoid, which has shown in vitro a good ability to inhibit enzymes (lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase) and to neutralise the free radicals responsible for oxidative damage to cells and cellular structures.
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA): alpha-lipoic acid is a compound naturally present in our body that plays a crucial role in the reactions leading to the production of energy from glucose. In addition to this function, the body uses free alpha-lipoic acid to counteract the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), to chelate metal ions, to repair oxidised proteins and to regenerate other antioxidant compounds, both exogenous and endogenous, such as glutathione and vitamins C and E.
Tocopherols and tocotrienols: these are the forms in which vitamin E occurs in nature; it acts as a free radical scavenger, contributing to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Coenzyme Q10: a fundamental component of the mitochondrial energy production chain. It supports the transformation of nutrients from the diet into energy readily usable by cells (in the form of adenosine triphosphate, ATP).
Vitamin B12: an important vitamin for numerous reactions that take place in our body. It is involved in the production of red blood cells, normal energy metabolism and the process of cell division, supporting cell regeneration. Vitamin B12 also contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Piperine: increases the bioavailability of all nutrients, but especially of coenzyme Q10 and curcumin.
