B10 ... for your younger self
Excessive hair loss, slowed growth, or premature graying can have various causes, with diet playing a major role. Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), also known as vitamin B10 (although it is not officially a vitamin), is among the significant nutrients that support hair health, skin, and overall vitality of the body. Additionally, it can influence the aging process. Despite its beneficial effects, it is less known today, although in the past it was considered almost a miraculous means of maintaining youth. In the 1950s, scientists studied PABA for its potential in combating degenerative diseases and recorded cases where graying was slowed down.
Omega 3, precious message of the sea
Do you long to wake up with ease in the morning, look fresher, not feel joint pain, have more energy, be able to focus, and feel better in your body? We could find the solution from fishermen who got up earlier than the sun each morning, went out to the sea, and greeted the new day with a smile. These were men who never knew the doctor, had sharp minds even in old age, their hands still firmly held the fishing nets and they lived functional longevity, often working into their 90s. The fishermen's treasure was exactly fish oil, which works similarly to a lubricant for our body: it helps the heart pump blood, keeps the mind fresh, and joints flexible, without it, the joints would be like an old creaking ship. The message that the sea gives us what we need was conveyed to future generations because some gifts of health are too precious to keep to oneself.
B3 - example that food is medicine
Niacin was long considered a mere part of the diet until it was discovered that its deficiency causes skin, digestive, and mental problems known as pellagra. Doctor Goldberger proved that the cause of this disease is not an infection but a one-sided diet without vitamin B3. He conducted an experiment on himself and his colleagues, who consumed exclusively poor diets and began to show symptoms of pellagra. However, when they added nutrients rich in niacin to their diet, the symptoms disappeared. In 1937, niacin was isolated from the liver, confirming its importance and nutritional value.
Lady's Mantle ... from the past to the present ...
Derived from the Latin word "Alchemilla" related to alchemy. Alchemists believed in the miraculous power of the water drops in its leaves 'heavenly water,' (symbolizing purity and the mystery of nature) which were supposed to help them achieve eternal youth or turn ordinary metal into gold. They devoted much attention to lady's mantle, which led not only to its naming but more importantly to the discovery of its medicinal properties. Today's world relies on the proven health benefits this medicinal plant offers.
