Maca - peruánsky ženšen
Od veky vekov sa ľudia snažili nájsť zázračné byliny a huby, ktoré podporovali zdravie, liečili smrteľné choroby a podporovali mužskú potenciu. Každá kultúra má svoje zaručené afrodiziaká. U nás sú známe najmä ustrice, alebo čokoláda.

Jednou z najstarších látok na podporu potencie je Žerucha peruánska - Maca .
Histamine Control
Histamine is often perceived negatively, especially for its role in allergic reactions and intolerance. As with many things in life, black-and-white thinking is not suitable for this biogenic amine. As a neurotransmitter, it participates in many critical processes. In defending the body, for example, it supports the enlargement of blood vessels, making it easier for immune cells to access the site of inflammation. At the same time, it stimulates the production of gastric juices (essential for food processing), regulates the sleep cycle, controls appetite, and plays a role in learning, memory, and emotions. Histamine naturally occurs in the human body, and its balance is crucial for health. In the digestive system, it's broken down by the enzyme diamine oxidase. However, if histamine intake is greater than the body can break down, histamine intolerance develops. This imbalance can be caused by stress, poor lifestyle, medicines, or other factors. Excess histamine can lead to unpleasant symptoms, often resembling food allergies or digestive issues. It's essential to understand histamine as an important helper in our body.
Vitamín A - a vidím...
Vitamín A - Retinol, bol objavený v roku 1916. Ale až o 15 rokov neskôr bola určená jeho chemická štruktúra. A ďalších 15 rokov trvalo, kým sme sa ho naučili vyrábať synteticky (vo forme acetátu). V obchodoch s výživovými doplnkami je pomerne zriedkavý, čo je zvláštny, pretože jeho nedostatok môže viesť až k šerosleposti.
