People who took Curcumin experienced significant improvements in their memory and attention abilities. Curcumin may provide neuropathic and nociceptive pain relief.

     

    Activated Curcumin may enhance:

    • Level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), (peptides or small proteins – that support the regeneration, growth, survival, and differentiation of both developing and mature neurons) especially during the immediate aftermath of injuries.
    • Researchers are discovering that Curcumin combats several key factors of aging by enhancing the cessation of cell division and increases telomere length (The length of telomeric DNA shortens with each cell division and determines the lifespan of a cell in culture).
    • May assist in keeping the skin firm and supple by protecting against Glycation (a process which is caused by the presence of excess glucose in skin fibers.
    • Curcumin activates AMPK (activated protein kinase). AMPK stimulates energy, generating processes such as glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation, and decreases energy-consuming processes, such as protein and lipid synthesis.
    • Autophagy (The natural, conserved degradation and recycling of cellular components, whilst removing unnecessary or dysfunctional components). In one animal study, it extended the average lifespan by 26%.
    • Curcumin may assist with diabetic neuropathy (A type of nerve damage that can occur with Type 1 diabetes). It enhanced the glucose-lowering effect of insulin and protects against the onset of diabetic neuropathy.
    • Curcumin may lower high levels of cholesterol or other fat particles (lipids) in the blood. In return Curcumin may improve weight and metabolic rate. This process may reduce fatigue and boost comprehensive energy levels.

     

    Suggested use: Take 1 to 2 teaspoons daily (until the condition is resolved); thereafter maintain with 1 to 2 teaspoons per week.

  • African Forest Medicinals Wild Artemisia Tincture 50ml

    N$198.40

    Wild Artemisia Tincture

    African Forest Medicinals Wild Artemisia Tincture is made from wild-harvested artemisia from our Knysna forest farm in the Western Cape.

    The use of Artemisia is widely known amongst the Black people of South Africa, being a trusted remedy for coughs, colds and flu (often used as a steam inhalant) – and, in 2020, was famously used as the remedy that the Madagascan government had their army distribute to their citizens to protect them against or cure C*vid, rather than follow any of the mainstream recommendations being promoted at the time.

    The Artemisia we use in our tincture is Artemisia afra, which is indigenous to South Africa. It is a potent variety and the taste is strong!

    • Powerful anti-parasite
    • Coughs, colds & flu remedy
    • Treats digestive problems & infections of the GI tract.
    • Is an emmenagogue which stimulates healthy menstrual bleeding
    • Can also be used topically on infected wounds and skin infections
    • Has been used to break fevers by inducing sweating
    • Potent anti-tumour effect and can be used to treat cancer and, in particular, malignant ulcer
    • Anti-inflammatory
    • Anti-fungal
    • Anti-viral, including Epstein-Barr
    • Appears to alleviate any abnormal “shedding” effects

    It is important that Artemisia tincture isn’t taken for longer than 7 consecutive days, at our recommended dose of 3 squirts of tincture, up to 3 times per day. If treating very acute conditions, such as malaria, however, then feel free to increase the dose frequency to every 2-3 hours until symptoms begin to subside. In general, artemisia is a very safe herb to take – although it is best avoided in the first trimester of pregnancy.

    Why use Bio-curcumin?

    • Bio-Curcumin utilises the BCM-95 form of curcumin
    • BCM-95 has been scientifically proven to be the most efficient and effective way to supplement with Curcumin
    • Absorbed 7 x more than regular 95% curcumin extracts
    • Contains no piperine* (from black pepper) to enhance absorption, as piperine* can increase the risk of adverse reactions with common medications
    • Retained in blood almost twice as long as regular piperine* extract, giving it longer to have beneficial effects
    • The superior absorption of Bio-Curcumin™ means that dose volume can be smaller than conventional curcumin supplements, while at the same time producing higher peak blood levels
    • Nothing artificial added to make it more effective
    • No artificial flavours or preservatives
    • Contains no known allergens

    *Piperine is an extract from black pepper commonly combined with curcumin to increase absorption. The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics states that piperine is a potent inhibitor of drug metabolism, which means it can spike blood levels of many prescription medications. There is also evidence that piperine can reduce levels of certain hormones and have toxic effects on the reproductive system, brain neurons and the liver.

  • Coyne Bio Milk Thistle Complex – 30 Veg Capsules

    N$350.70

    Bio-milk Thistle

    Bio-Milk Thistle is a western herbal medicine used to support liver function in adults 18 years and older. In addition, Bio-Milk Thistle may help relieve digestive disturbances or indigestion, including discomfort following overindulgence. The active components in milk thistle extracts are a group of chemical compounds collectively known as silymarin. Silybin is considered one of the most active constituents of silymarin.

    Due to its antioxidant properties, silymarin helps protect cell membranes from damage caused by free radicals. Silymarin also stabilises liver cell membranes and prevents binding and penetration of toxins, such as ethanol, paracetamol, Amanita phalloides from poisonous mushrooms, and others. In addition, silymarin may help the liver generate new cells and proteins to recover from injury. Apart from its benefits as an antioxidant, silymarin also has anti-inflammatory properties. It may reduce the damaging effects of inflammation and prevent scar tissue formation.

    In summary, silymarin:

    • Is a free radical scavenger that protects cell membranes from damage caused by toxins and oxidative stress
    • Increases total antioxidant capacity by increasing the levels of intracellular antioxidants, namely glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD)
    • Helps the liver to recover from injury
    • Has anti-inflammatory properties
    • Protects against scar tissue formation

     

    Further information:

    The active components in milk thistle extracts are a group of chemical compounds collectively known as silymarin. Silybin is considered one of the most active constituents of silymarin.

    Silymarin and silybin are antioxidants. In other words, they protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are toxic by-products of oxygen metabolism in living cells. These free radicals may cause significant damage to living tissues when produced in quantities that exceed the body’s neutralising mechanisms. Stress, medicines, injury, alcohol consumption or infections may  result in increased generation of free radicals.
