Common Lady's Mantle ... from the past to the present ...
originates from the Latin word " Alchemilla " related to alchemy. Alchemists believed in the miraculous power of water droplets on its leaves "heavenly water," (symbolized purity and nature's mystery), which were supposed to help them achieve eternal youth or transform a common metal into gold. They paid great attention to lady's mantle, which led not only to its naming but mainly to the discovery of its medicinal effects. The present relies on proven health benefits this medicinal plant offers.
Iron - the secret to your health and energy
Imagine that your body is a factory working at full capacity (to provide energy, growth, cell repair) and iron is the fuel that keeps it running. If iron reserves are depleted, you may experience weakness, heart palpitations or paler skin. Symptoms of iron deficiency include brittle nails, dry hair, shortness of breath, sleep problems, reduced concentration, cold extremities, increased frequency of infections, and anaemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by too little iron in the body), which manifests itself as extreme fatigue. With anaemia, the body is not supplied with enough oxygen and quickly becomes exhausted. Bruising can also be a sign of iron deficiency, as this mineral is important in the formation of haemoglobin, which supports the proper functioning of blood platelets.
Surprisingly Resilient Maca - Peruvian Cress
This remarkable plant (Lepidium mayenii) from the Peruvian Andes, where it is grown at extreme altitudes (4000 m a.s.l.). It is incredibly resilient and can survive and grow in conditions where most other plant species would not survive, such as low temperatures, strong winds, and intense UV radiation. Its ability to adapt to harsh environments enriches it with nutrients and substances that positively impact the human body, enhancing resistance to both physical and mental stress.
Ashwagandha - cortisol tamer
You certainly know the feeling when you feel threatened. A big dog ran at you from behind the fence, your boss plowed into you in a meeting and carried you under the ground, or your mortgage is due tomorrow and you just got fired from your job. In such cases, the body produces a steroid hormone - cortisol. This already protects us in dangerous situations and the body prepares the "fight or flight" position. The heart pumps, blood rushes to vital organs, pain levels suppress... You say to yourself - the most useful thing under the sun!
Vitamin C + rose hips + bioflavonoids
Designed specifically for stronger antioxidant effects, better absorption and utilisation, with rosehip as the main source of natural vitamin C. Vitamin C, known as ascorbic acid, is a nutrient essential for the functioning of our body. Our body synthesises this essential vitamin, so it is necessary to obtain it from fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits, peppers, horseradish, and tomatoes.
Vitamin A - and I see...
Vitamin A - Retinol, was discovered in 1916. But only 15 years later its chemical structure was determined. And it took another 15 years before we learned to produce it synthetically (in the form of acetate). It's quite rare in dietary supplement stores, which is odd because a lack of it can lead to even gray-blindness.
