Sea Buckthorn Immunosash Juice

Lipids provide the body with fuel; aid in the absorption of fat soluble vitamins, act as energy store houses within cells. Lipids provide protective padding for body structures and organs and serve as building blocks for all cell membranes.

Vitamin K plays an essential role in normal clotting and helps promote bone health. Without sufficient amounts of Vitamin K hemorrhaging can occur. Deficiencies may appear in infants, or in people who take anticoagulants or antibiotic drugs. Vitamin K is called the coagulation vitamin and plays a catalytic role in forming of prothrombonin and hence it promotes normal coagulation of the blood during the injuries of blood vessels.

Its anti-HIV activity has also been reported and Studies have shown that A. paniculata is a potent stimulator of the immune system and that it activates both the antigen-specific and non-specific immune responses . Due to its ability to activate both types of immune response, A. paniculata is a potent chemoprotective agent and is effective against a variety of infectious and oncogenic agents . A. Paniculuta or Kalmegh extracts have been shown to have anti-oncogenic properties.

Mandukaparni Centella asiatica, known as Mandukaparni in Sanskrit, brahmamanduki in Hindi is another plant that has shown potential as an anticancer agent. Turmeric Tumeric has also been shown to inhibit tumor cell invasion and metastasis in vitro. Curcuma longa is popularly known as turmeric in English, haridra in Sanskrit and haldi in Hindi. The rhizome of the plant is traditionally used in cooking. The active ingredient of this plant is curcumin, a polyphenol derived from the rhizome of the plant. Turmeric is used for both cancer prevention and treatment. The anticancer potential of curcumin is associated with its ability to inhibit proliferation in a wide variety of tumor cell types. Pippali Pippali is most renowned for its effectiveness against conditions affecting respiratory tract, in bronchial asthma , a counter-irritant ,eases inflammation, helps improves lung strength and helps fight infections by virtue of its antibacterial properties. Bhumi Amla Phyllanthus amarus or Bhumi Amla contains various lignans, flavanoids and tannins, and evidence suggests that P. amarus extract may exert antitumor effects Ashwagandha Withania somnifera (Linn.) known as Ashwagandha in Sanskrit and Hindi has been used in the Indian traditional system of medicine Ayurveda, and the plant is marketed world-wide because of its medicinal properties.

Seabuckthorn leaves have been found to have high content of polyphenols including tannins. A chemotherapeutic study of dry purified tannin fraction and individual components has revealed a high activity in respect to a wide spectrum of viruses : Influenza viruses/A (H1N1, H2N2,H13N6, H3N2) and B/Singapore/222/79, Herpes Simplex Viruses(HSV), Strain L2, Paramyxovirus infections, adenoviruses type 2, cytomegalo viruses and other viruses pathogenic for human beings and animals. (Shipulina 1999)

Free radicals have also been implicated in the development of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimers’s disease. Seabuckthorn fruit and leaves are quite rich in flavonoids which neutralize these free radicals.

Carotenoids raise physical and physiological capacity to work in stress conditions.(Bogdanov et al 1986)

Vitamin-A This is an antioxidant which is very good for growth and bone development and strengthens the immune system. It is useful in promoting healthy cell growth and essential for healthy eyes and skin. Vitamin B1 Promotes growth, protects the heart muscle, stimulates the action of the brain, is important for the functioning of the nervous system, helps in digestion of carbohydrates. Vitamin B2 Also known as Riboflavin. It is essential for general health and growth. Vitamin B6 Also known as Pyridoxine. It works to produce energy from fats and proteins. Helps in the absorption of Vitamin B12. Important for healthy function of brain and nervous system. Without the range of B Vitamins the human body cannot convert fuel to energy and our skin and hair would deteriorate. If you are lacking energy you could possibly be lacking enough of the B Vitamins which because they are water soluble are required every day. They don’t store in the body to fill any deficiencies that may occur. Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, and pantothenic acid, serve as coenzymes to the enzymes that release energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Vitamin B6 assists enzymes that metabolize amino acids. Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12 has been shown to reduce homocysteine levels as has vitamin B6. Supplementation of these vitamins to augment low dietary intakes of folic acid B6 and B12 offers a convenient way to ensure that optimal intakes of these vitamins are achieved while offering an economical means to ensure optimalcardio vascular health maintainence and reduction of neural tube defects bduring pregnancy. Vitamin C This is a water soluble vitamin also known as ascorbic acid, and functions as an antioxidant. It is essential to prevent Scurvy. Vitamin D Promotes normal bone and teeth formation by ensuring the active absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Sunshine is also a major source of Vitamin D. Vitamin E This is an essential nutrient that functions as an antioxidant in the human body. Vitamin E enhances immune response and regulates platelet aggregation. Vitamin K This is called the coagulation Vitamin. It is required to make a substance called prothrombin which is then converted to thrombin. Thrombin in turn converts fibrinogen to fibrin which then creates the blood clot.Antioxidants The process that causes a nail to rust or even a chopped apple to turn brown is called oxidation. It is the same process that occurs in ones body with each breath one takes. When free radicals attack, the result can vary from a small boil to a mighty cancer or from a slight irritation to asthma or some lifelong allergic disorder. As free radicals hit the tiny drops of LDL (Low density Lipo Proteins) cholesterol in your blood it is oxidized. The cholesterol turns sticky and attaches to rough spots on the walls of arteries causing them to block and cause heart attack if unchecked. Seabuckthorn is rich in antioxidants. Phytonutrients Phytonutrients are a step beyond vitamins and minerals and are necessary to achieve good health. Seabuckthorn is also rich in these phytonutrients such as flavonoides, carotenoides, catechin and phenols. Protein and Amino Acids Seabuckthorn is rich in proteins and amino acids. Amino acids are able to make millions of proteins by combining with each other in various combinations. The vegetarian or non vegetarian sources do not supply all the essential amino acids such as contained in seabuckthorn. Minerals Seabuckthorn is rich in minerals such as Zinc, Calcium, Iron, Zinc: A critical role Zinc plays is the synthesis of the nucleic acids RNA & DNA which are essential for cell division, cell repair and cell growth. It is also essential for Bone health, enzyme function, proper immune function and prostaglandin synthesis.
