Balm for the liver and gallbladder - Dandelion

Health

Dandelion (Latin: Taraxum officinale, also known as milkweed, creamweed, Mayflower) is a weed that is familiar to everyone and found everywhere (especially if nothing else grows overnight on a perfect green lawn, it will even grow in a crack in the asphalt). First and foremost, it is a medicinal plant in the herb long its. The milk ducts contain a white sap that hardens in the air and leaves coloured stains on your hands. Dandelion seeds can travel a kilometre. It is one of the longest flowering plants, and the whole plant is edible, but with a rather unpleasant bitter taste.  

In the past, it was used to treat eye diseases, hence the genus name "taraxis" (eye inflammation) and "officinale" refers to its medicinal properties. For centuries, dandelion has been used to treat liver and gallbladder problems, digestive difficulties and fever.

Young leaves were eaten as vegetables and roasted roots were used as a substitute for coffee. In herbal medicine, the roots (Radix taraxaci), herbs (Herba taraxaci), leaves (in salads) (Folium taraxaci) and flowers (syrup, honey) (Flos taraxaci) are used for their diuretic and digestive properties. The roots are harvested in autumn, dried at a temperature of up to 40 °C and stored in a place with a humidity of up to 14%. The active ingredients of dandelion include bitter compounds, phytosterols, taraxacin, inositol, choline, triterpenes, saponins, rubber, organic acids, resins, mucilage, triterpenes, sterols, proteins, inulin, carotenoids, vitamins (A, B, C, D, E), sodium, iron, phosphorus, fibre, iron, fibre, iron, fibre, copper, manganese, selenium, sulphur, and omega-3 and omega-6 acids.

Dandelion supports the immune system, helping to prevent flu and other illnesses. Its mucilage protects the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and helps to dissolve phlegm. It strengthens the liver and gallbladder and their function through enzymatically active substances that influence their activity (cholagogue effect). Taraxacum officinale is useful in the prevention and treatment of liver and gallbladder diseases, has a diuretic effect, and thus helps with inflammation and infections of the urinary tract, as well as kidney stones and haemorrhoids.

However, it also has a beneficial effect on the digestive system and is therefore used for stomach problems, hyperacidity, acute intestinal catarrh, loss of appetite and constipation. It stimulates metabolism and appetite and improves digestion. It is often used in weight-loss diets because it promotes fat burning. It helps strengthen connective tissue, which is appreciated by patients with arthritis and gout. Dandelion is recommended worldwide as a natural way to control type 2 diabetes. In addition, it oxygenates and purifies the blood and has antiseptic properties. Phytonutrients help relieve pain (headaches, gallbladder).

Folk medicine recommends dandelion root for general weakness, anaemia, arteriosclerosis (due to its cholesterol-binding properties) and chronic skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema and rashes. Hepatoprotective, antioxidant and anti-cancer effects are the most commonly reported medicinal properties in scientific literature. The diuretic properties of dandelion can aid detoxification by helping to eliminate toxins. Thanks to its anti-ageing properties, dandelion extract also helps in skin care and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. It can help prevent and reduce the risk of a whole range of diseases, including cancer, obesity, hepatitis, arthritis and cardiovascular disease.

Let us not perceive dandelions as unwanted weeds, but as a gift with great power and a symbol of stability, harmony and determination. As one of the first sources of food for bees in spring, it is a remarkable plant with many health benefits. Dr. Lucullus and the premium herbal preparation Dandelion 530 mg ensure the proper functioning and protection of the body. The nutritional supplement capsules are purely plant-based, free from sugar, gluten and genetically modified organisms, and preserve the effectiveness of the ingredients. They are also suitable for long-term use and are suitable for vegetarians, vegans and diabetics. It is up to you how you use this health-promoting plant. 

The right choice if you need to detoxify your liver, remove toxins, lower cholesterol, help with skin problems and infections, slow down the ageing process, reduce swelling and inflammation, and support digestion, bone health and immunity.

A superfood we often overlook. Have you heard of aronia?

Exhaustion and chronic fatigue have been frequently discussed topics in recent months. Some blame it on stress at work, others on an unhealthy lifestyle and poor-quality food, and others on vaccination... Whatever the truth may be, it is time to take matters into our own hands and deal with the situation. A weakened body is highly susceptible to various illnesses and health issues. That is why we need to give it a boost of optimism and, above all, vital energy.

K2 as a GPS Health

K2 as a GPS

“Calcium on its own isn’t enough; it can even be harmful to your health.” What sort of conspiracy theory is this, you might think... After all, we need calcium for our bones, our teeth… but if we were to read the specialist literature, we’d find out… yes, calcium is important, but only if it knows where it’s supposed to be. Because when it wanders around the body unchecked, it can ‘park’ itself in the arteries, kidneys or joints. Calcium in the arteries contributes to their hardening (calcification), thereby increasing the risk of a heart attack, stroke or high blood pressure. This is where vitamin K2 comes to the rescue. It activates a protein called Matrix GLA protein, which ‘cleans’ the blood vessels by preventing calcium from being deposited in their walls. At the same time, it activates osteocalcin, which ensures that calcium goes where it is needed. This is precisely why vitamin K2 is essential – it acts as a GPS for calcium. With its special ability to regulate calcium transport – and not just any old way – it literally acts as a navigator for calcium, ensuring it doesn’t end up where it doesn’t belong (in the arteries), but is directed to where it’s needed: in the bones and teeth. The most effective form of vitamin K2 is MK-7 (menaquinone); although it sounds like a supporting character, it is a systems operator (the sort who doesn’t take the stage at meetings, but without whom the whole company would collapse).  Scientists aren’t exactly the sort to follow trends; they don’t always agree, but in the case of vitamin K2, also known as MK-7, they report that this vitamin has many benefits:

Get the most out of Aminomax

Every day, your body carries out hundreds of subtle tasks. It repairs muscles, regulates hormones, keeps your immune system on guard and treats your energy like a treasure. And amino acids are responsible for all of this. So if you need more energy, faster recovery, firmer muscles and a stronger immune system… you need the Amino“max” supplement, which is chosen not only by professional athletes but also by active people who want to get the most out of themselves. Aminomax contains 17 specially selected amino acids in the ideal ratio (9 essential and 8 non-essential), which together act as ‘specialists’: some build new muscle, others combat fatigue, whilst others boost the immune system or kick-start fat burning. But for us, it’s the result that matters, and this manifests as:

Magnesium - the most important mineral?

If you ask any athlete (especially endurance athletes) what nutritional supplement they always have with them for competitions, the most common answer will be "magnesium". Magnesium is definitely one of the most important minerals for our body. It is a so-called "deficiency" mineral because we excrete it from the body during excessive exertion, but also when we are not exercising! Just living in a noisy, stressful, demanding environment is enough...

It contains more antioxidants than blueberries, frost won’t damage it, and your immune system will love it. The black chokeberry isn’t one of the sweetest fruits, but given its health benefits, it could well be called the queen of Slovak gardens. At first glance, the black chokeberry may seem unremarkable, but it is in fact one of the healthiest berries you can find here. It originally comes from North America, where its properties were used as a remedy for colds or to make pemmican, a food with an extremely long shelf life that was prepared mainly for the long winter months. If you haven’t heard of it yet, it’s time to put that right!
