Liver and Gallbladder Balm - Dandelion
Dandelion (in Slovak, 'púpava', Latin, Taraxacum officinale, also known as milkweed, smotánka, májik) is a well-known and ubiquitous weed (especially when it randomly appears overnight on a perfectly manicured lawn, even sprouting through cracks in asphalt), but foremost, it is a healing plant with a long history of use in herbal medicine. The milky tubes contain white sap that hardens in the air andleaves colorful stains on hands. Dandelion seeds can travel kilometers. It is among the longest-blooming plants, wholly edible, albeit having a not very pleasant bitter taste.
Vitamin B1 Thiamine
Vitamin B1 belongs to the group of vitamins B1 to B12, which we refer to as B-complex. Under this name, it is possible to buy a vitamin supplement containing all the important vitamins of this group. But what if I only need one of them? Fortunately, you don't have to take the whole group - the most important vitamins from the B group can be obtained separately today.
MSM (Organosulfur) .... multifunctional supplement
Did you know that sulfur is as essential for our body as vitamins and minerals? One of its most significant sources is a substance called methylsulfonylmethane, abbreviated MSM. Despite the name sounding like it came from a chemistry textbook, it is a natural compound of paramount importance for the proper functioning of the organism. MSM naturally occurs in the blood, tissues, and organs, where it supports the production of substances, such as amino acids - glutathione, cysteine, and methionine. This organic sulfur compound, also known as organosulfur, is particularly effective in combating oxidative stress, inflammation, and body regeneration. Its sources can be natural foods. Organic sulfur compounds, such as allicin in garlic, have broad health applications, and MSM is unique in that it offers comprehensive support from joint health to immunity enhancement.
Ashwagandha - The Cortisol Tamer
You definitely know the feeling when you're in danger. A big dog jumped out from behind a fence, your boss scolded you in a meeting, or you have a mortgage payment due tomorrow and just got laid off. In such cases, the body produces the steroid hormone - cortisol. It has protected us for centuries in dangerous situations, preparing the body for 'fight or flight.' The heart races, blood flows to vital organs, and pain levels are suppressed... You might say - the most useful thing under the sun!
Zinc - The Fatigue Slayer
In addition to vitamins, enzymes, and various supplements, our body also needs so-called trace elements for 100% functionality. The term "trace" means that our body needs it only in small quantities. We need 10 mg of zinc daily, which is 37 times less than magnesium (375 mg). It might seem we're discussing a total non-entity. However, the opposite is true. Zinc affects more than 200 biochemical reactions in our body!
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.
