SEVEN+.........eXfuze
From some of the most remote corners of the planet, there are seven botanicals that are so rich in nutrients that each has significantly affected the culture of which they are a part. Each of the seven has a story that is supported with modern science as well as the legacy of indigenous peoples that attribute their long and healthy lives to these botanicals; each representing an integral part of their culture.If it were possible to go to the corner grocery and pick up a basket of fresh Acai berries, which Dr. Nicholas Perricone (on the Oprah Winfrey show) hailed as one of the worlds ten most important superfoods, then most of us would!And wouldn’t it be great if you could find a palatable way to consume the active ingredient in brown seaweed, fucoidan (which is supported with over 650 clinical studies) many of which are focused around the prevention of serious disease?Or perhaps you would choose the Goji berry which is a staple of the Himalayan diet that has to its credit some of the oldest people to have ever lived.With over 1000 clinical studies on just the featured seven ingredients, Seven+ is a wonderful combination of tremendously healthy foods. None of the superfoods in eXfuze Seven+ can be purchased at your local grocery store.It is, however, possible to enjoy the tremendous benefits of these seven superfoods in one liquid supplement: eXfuze, Seven+: Just one ounce a day may provide your body with the many benefits found in a rich spectrum of vitamins, amino acids, trace minerals and anti-oxidants.Frequently Asked Questions:· What are Extracts and why are they better than Concentrates? Extraction involves the actual extraction of the nutrients and essential elements of the ingredient, the process for extraction varies (such as pressurized low polarity water extraction) depending on the botanical and which part of the botanical contains the essential nutrients. Concentration is essentially simply a dehydration and removal of the water. You receive 4-5 times more of the ingredients through extraction.· How come you do not list the amount of each ingredient on the bottle? The actual blend is a proprietary trade secret of eXfuze Seven+. · Are there any preservatives in the drink, and if so, are they at all harmful? Many companies use Sodium Benzoate, which when combined with Potassium Sorbate is known to create low level amounts of Benzene, a dangerous carcinogen. We use a harmless and effective vegetable based preservative.· I see Malic Acid listed on the ingredients, what does that do? Seven+ uses Malic Acid as a delivery system. Malic acid is a naturally occurring compound that plays a role in the complex process of deriving adenosine triphosphate (ATP; the energy currency that runs the body) from food. Malic Acid may help the bodies overall ability to assimilate nutrients.· Can this product be used to treat serious disease? No. Neither the company nor any of our distributors will ever make this claim. There are substantial benefits linked to all of the ingredients, but it is a Nutritional Botanical drink, not a medicine of any kind.· Will there ever be more than the current ingredients? eXfuze will always be looking for ways to improve the product, to ensure that it will be the most nutritional functional drink on the market. An example of this is the addition of nutrient rich, Aloe and Pomegranate to the formula.· Can I consume more than the recommended ounce per day? Absolutely! Seven+ is a food-based product. In fact, we suspect people who feel great, may want to take a little more each day. · Is this an organic product? Most of the ingredients in the product are organic or wild-crafted (naturally gathered in the wild). Not all of the ingredients are certified organic, due to the nature of the harvest, wild-crafted elements and from where they are located, therefore, we cannot say the product is 100% organic.· Are there any added sugars in Seven+? Absolutely not! There are no additional sugars added. Seven+ is a dense product and the product does contain all natural sugars from the fruit botanicals we use. However, due to the density of the product, our per-serving sugar intake is pretty standard compared with other nutritional drinks.Benefits of using Purified Alkaline Water (a/k/a Structured Water)· Maximum hydration and cleansing of the body's cells; · Maximum transfer of nutrients into the cells; · Is best suited for electrical communications between cells;Loaded with the most heavily studied, successful ingredients, which are in the health and wellness industry today. Ingredients like Fucoidan, which is used in oncology clinics in Japan and is supported with 676 clinical studies. Mangosteen which is the core ingredient in the wildly sucessful Eango and Acai which was featured with Matt Lauer and even on the Oprah show, where Dr. Perricone referred to it as one of the top ten super food.Ingredients: Acai - Dr. Perricone has named the Acai berry as the #1 Superfood. The Acai fruit has been featured on Oprah, in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. The little Acai berry - about the size of a blueberry - is being called the miracle berry.Acai has been used for many generations by the natives of Brazil. Acai boasts 10 times the antioxidant benefits of grapes and twice that of blueberries and is can be very effective in such areas as : * Antioxidant* Antibacterial* Anti-inflammatory* Antimutagenic* Cardiovascular SystemThe fatty acid content in açaí resembles that of olive oil, and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid is important for a number of reasons. It helps omega-3 fish oils penetrate the cell membrane; together they help make cell membranes more supple. By keeping the cell membrane supple, all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors function more efficiently. This is particularly important because high insulin levels create an inflammatory state, and we know, inflammation causes aging.Fucoidan - Fucoidan is found mainly in various species of brown seaweek such as kombu, wakame, mozuku and hijiki.Researchers began studying fucoidan around 1970, and since that time fucoidan has been cited in approximately 700 studies published in the National Library of Medicine's database. The overall findings of this large body of research, coupled with anecdotal evidence provided by a long history of use of fucoidan-bearing seaweed in areas such as Japan, Hawaii and Tonga, indicate that fucoidan demonstrates great potential as a safe nutritional answer for a wide variety of health complaints.Goji Berry - Goji berries are rich in antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. One of zeaxanthin's key roles is to protect the retina of the eye by absorbing blue light and acting as an antioxidant. In fact, increased intake of foods containing zeathanthin may decrease the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in people over the age of 65.Goji berries have been used for 6,000 years by herbalists in China, Tibet and India to: * protect the liver* help eyesight* improve sexual function and fertility* strengthen the legs* boost immune function* improve circulation* promote longevitySeabuckthorn - Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is one of the important natural resources of the mountainous regions of China and Russia. The plant grows naturally in sandy soil at an altitude of 1,200-4,500 meters (4,000-14,000 feet) in cold climates, though it can be cultivated at lower altitudes and into temperate zones.The berries of Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides) are so rich in vitamins and nutrients that it has been even speculated that the plant must have been cultivated by some ancient plant-breeder.Many health claims have been associated with seabuckthorn. The berries seem to have preventive effects against : * cardiovascular diseases* musoca injuries* skin problems* cancer* immune system supportGAC Fruit - Other than its cultivation for special Vietnamese dishes, gac is also used for its medicinal and nutritional properties. In Vietnam the seed membranes are used to aid in the relief of dry eyes, as well as to promote healthy vision. Similarly, in Traditional Chinese medicine the seeds of gac, known as mubiezi, are employed for a variety of internal and external purposes. Recent attention is also beginning to be attracted in the West because of chemical analysis of the fruit suggesting that it has high concentrations of several important phytonutrients.Gac has been shown to be especially high in lycopene content. Relative to mass, it contains up to 70 times the amount of lycopene found in tomatoes. It has also been found to contain up to 10 times the amount of beta-carotene of carrots or sweet potatoes. Additionally, the carotenoids present in gac are bound to long-chain fatty acids, resulting in what is claimed to be a more bioavailable form.Noni Fruit - The medicinal properties of Noni were discovered, more than 2000 years ago, by the Polynesians, who imported the fruit from Southeast Asia. Today the noni fruits is eaten in many parts of the world, mainly in the Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia and Australia.Noni has been reported to have a range of health benefits for colds, cancer, diabetes, asthma, hypertension, pain, skin infection, high blood pressure, mental depression, atherosclerosis and arthritis.The noni contain the antibacterial compounds in the fruits (acubin, L-asperuloside and alizarin) and roots (anthrauinones). Noni conatins scopoletin which inhibits the growth of Escherichia coli, which is responsible for intestinal infections, and Heliobacter pylori, which causes ulcers.Mangosteen - For centuries the natives of Southeast Asia have been using the mangosteen rind for medicinal purposes. Since 2004, mangosteen has been included among an emerging category of novel functional foods sometimes called "superfruits" presumed to have a combination of 1) appealing subjective characteristics, such as taste, fragrance and visual qualities, 2) nutrient richness, 3) antioxidant strength and 4) potential impact for lowering risk against diseases.Plus vitamins, amino acids, trace minerals, and anti-oxidants!Information Related To Health and The information provided through my Site is intended for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a guide for diagnosis or treatment of any disease.

GAC
What is GAC?
GAC is commonly pronounced as (gac).The proper Latin or botanical name of the GAC fruit is Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng.Where exactly is GAC fruit found?GAC fruit is indigenous to Vietnam and other countries in Southeast Asia. Its seed pulp contains high concentrations of carotenoids, especially the provitamin A, beta-carotene.What potential benefits could I expect to experience by consuming Gac?Reminder: results may vary from person to person.Studies have shown GAC to: · Helps support cellular rejuvenation · Slows the common effects of aging through DNA protection · SCS CertifiedTM—improves Skin Carotenoid Score with the Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner · Fortifies antioxidant defenses against vascular and cellular free radical damage. · Supports healthy immune function.GAC fruit has been shown to be especially high in lycopene content. Relative to mass, it contains up to 70 times the amount of lycopene found in tomatoes. It has also been found to contain up to 10 times the amount of beta-carotene of carrots or sweet potatoes. Additionally, the carotenoids present in GAC fruit are bound to long-chain fatty acids, resulting in what is claimed to be a more bioavailable form.There has also been recent research that suggests that GAC fruit contains a protein that may inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. The seed membrane of the GAC fruit is also used in traditional Vietnamese medicine to make a tonic called GAC oil. For centuries, GAC oil has been given to pregnant and lactating women and to children to treat dry eyes and night blindness. The rich, nutty oil has also proven worthy of treating wounds, skin infections, and burns, and is traditionally given to children to improve their growthReference: 1) http://www.pubmed.gov/2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gac+

ACAI
What is the Acai berry Fruit?
Acai is commonly pronounced as (a-sigh-ee).Acai's scientific name is Euterpe Oleracea. This fruit is little, round and with a dark purple color that resembles a grape, but yet smaller and even darker. Acai has a large seed and not much pulp. This berry is broadly used in ice cream, energy drinks, energy bars with granola, and in Brazil with its pulp consumed directly or in juices. The Acai berry may be the most potent of all ‘forgotten fruits' - those raw, whole fruits that are little known or consumed.The benefits from eating healthy are endless. According to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, some foods can be eaten to help you look and age better! At the top of the list is the acai fruit from the Amazon forest. This little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world.Where exactly is the Acai fruit berry found?The Acai fruit berry is located in the Amazon rain forest of Brazil.What potential benefits could I expect to experience by consuming Acai? Reminder: results may vary from person to person.Studies have shown Acai to:· More energy/stamina · Enhanced digestion · Improved Mental Focus · Sleeping more soundly · All the nutrients originate from one berry. · Acai contains more proteins than an average egg. · Acai contains a high dosage of lipids, which provides you the needed energy to help you get through the day. · Acai berry is an all in "one-stop" Multi-Vitamin Product. · Acai contains important minerals like iron, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium. · Acai has all natural Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. · Better sexual function · Acai has demonstrated to have up to 33 times the Antocyanine than red wine grapes. · Acai has a high level of fibers that is good for elderly and for people who have problems with digestive organs. · Acai has two essential fatty acids known as Omega 6 (Linoleic acid) and Omega 9 (Oleic acid). Research shows that these fatty acids maintain normal cholesterol levels. · Research has shown that these Anti-Oxidants help regulate normal cholesterol levels. · Acai's Anti-Oxidant factors play a large role in maintenance of vascular cardiac system, which is important for better blood circulation. · Acai is considered one of the richest nutritive fruits from the Amazon or the world for that fact. · An almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper muscle contractions and regeneration. · More bio-active then liquid freeze dried versions of Acai · Very low Sugar content for a fruit · Cleansing and Detoxing your body · Boost your Immune SystemWhat is the relation to Red Wine and Anti-Oxidants? The Acai is very rich in Anthocyanins, an antioxidant substance that helps fight the cholesterol and free radical. Have you ever heard that a glass of red wine everyday is good for the heart? This is because of the Anthocyanins in the grape. It is not by accident that the color of the Acai is similar to the color of red wine, although the Acai has 33 times more Anthocyanins than the grape.Who can consume Acai Berry? According the studies done on the product, everyone can use the product. However, people who are pregnant or children should check with their physicians before taking the product.Reference:1) http://www.acai.vg/

HIMALAYAN GOJI
What is Goji Berry?
Goji Berry is commonly pronounced as (go-gee).The proper Latin or botanical name of the Goji berry is Lycium TibeticumWhere exactly is Goji berry found? In valleys of Tibet and Mongolia there is a special berry that the locals use and cherish so much that they honor it in special celebrations that last two weeks each year. It is well documented that many people in those areas live free of common diseases and for well over a hundred years.The original Tibetan Lycium (Goji) berry became popular because of its use in Tibetan medicine and among the nomadic people of these regions. Tibet is the highest most remote place on Earth and the Goji remains the purest Lycium with the richest nutrient energy. The Tibetan Goji berry is pure, organic and harvested according to wild crafting methods, this actually far exceeds organic standards set in the U.S. and is grown in ancient million year old soils in remote Himalayan valleys untouched by any pollutants, contaminates or pesticides.Goji berry bushes grow to be one to three meters high. Because the berries are very delicate when on the plant, they cannot be picked by hand. Instead they are gently shaken from the vine.The taste is not too difficult to describe.... some say between a cranberry and a cherry.... others say they taste of raspberry and plum.... you will have to decide for yourself!What potential benefits could I expect to experience by consuming Goji berry? Reminder: results may vary from person to person.Studies have shown Goji Berry to help:· protect the liver · help eyesight · improve sexual function and fertility · strengthen the legs · boost immune function · improve circulation · promote longevityGoji berries are rich in antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin.One of zeaxanthin's key roles is to protect the retina of the eye by absorbing blue light and acting as an antioxidant.

NONI
What is Noni fruit?
Noni is commonly pronounced as (no-nee). The proper Latin or botanical name of the Noni fruit is Morinda citrifolia.Where exactly is Noni found? Noni fruit grows in shady forests as well as on open rocky or sandy shores. It reaches maturity in about 18 months and then yields between 4-8 kg of fruit every month throughout the year. It is tolerant of saline soils, drought conditions, and secondary soils. It is therefore found in a wide variety of habitats: volcanic terrains, lava-strewn coasts, and clearings or limestone outcrops. It can grow up to 9 m tall, and has large, simple, dark green, shiny and deeply veined leaves. The richest of the soils in which noni grows are found in French PolynesiaWhat potential benefits could I expect to experience by consuming Noni?Reminder: results may vary from person to person.Studies have shown Noni to:In China, Samoa, Japan, and Tahiti, various parts of the tree (leaves, flowers, fruits, bark, roots) serve as tonics and to contain fever, to treat eye and skin problems, gum and throat problems as well as constipation, stomach pain, or respiratory difficulties. In Malaysia, heated noni leaves applied to the chest are believed to relieve coughs, nausea, or colic.The noni fruit is taken, in Indochina especially, for asthma, lumbago, and dysentery. As for external uses, unripe fruits can be pounded, then mixed with salt and applied to cut or broken bones. In Hawaii, ripe fruits are applied to draw out pus from an infected boil. The green fruit, leaves and the root/rhizome have traditionally been used to treat menstrual cramps and irregularities, among other symptoms, while the root has also been used to treat urinary difficulties.The fruit is used as a shampoo in Malaysia, where it is said to be helpful against head lice.There have been recent applications also for the use of the oil from noni seeds. The noni seed oil is abundant in linoleic acid, found in products in the beauty industry, as research points to its affective properties when applied topically on the skin, ie. anti-inflammatory, acne reduction, moisture retention properties.Scientific studies have investigated noni's effect on the growth of cancerous tissue. One such study found that noni inhibited and reduced growth of the capillary vessels sprouting from human breast tumor explants and, at increased concentrations, the noni caused existing vessels to rapidly degenerate.Another scientific study showed one brand of noni juice to have prevented formation of cancer cells in rats (using detection methods of bio-chemical markers called DNA adducts). It further showed to reduce the number of DNA adducts in rats induced with carcinogenic DMBA, in some cases, by up to 90%. The same study then also looked at the effective anti-oxidant properties of this Tahitian Noni brand of noni juice, (via LPO and TNB-SAR assays) comparing with the free-radical properties of vitamin C, grape seed powder (GSP), and pycnogenol (PYC) at the daily dose per serving level recommended by U.S. RDAs or manufacturers. This noni juice brand was shown to be more effective than all three. Their conclusion: "The results suggest that prevention of carcinogen-DNA adduct formation and the antioxidant activity of TNJ may contribute to the cancer preventive effect of Morinda citrifolia.Reference:1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noni+2) http://healthlibrary.epnet.com/GetContent.aspx?token=8482e079-8512-47c2-960c-a403c77a5e4c&chunkiid=21818+

FUCOIDAN
What is Fucoidan?
Fucoidan is commonly pronounced as (fa-koi-dan).Fucoidan is a polymer found mainly in various species of brown seaweed such as kombu, wakame, mozuku, and hijiki. The extensive research performed on Fucoidan has focused on two very distinct forms U-Fucoidan and F-Fucoidan.The research, beginning in the 1970s, has continued to this day with Fucoidan being cited in approximately 700 studies. The general consensus of the many studies, with the evidences of thousands of years of anecdotal uses in Japan, Hawaii, and Tong, suggest Fucoidan to be a safe nutritional nutrient.Fucoidan research has shown that it has the potential to dissipate cancer cells by activation of digestive enzymes contained in the cells themselves. This process is referred to as apoptosis. Laboratory studies have also shown that Fucoidan provides functional support to the human immune system through its detoxifying effects.In fact, Fucoidan is used as standard protocol in every single Oncology clinic in Japan.Where exactly is Fucoidan found?It's really a brown sea vegetable, and it only grows in certain places in the world. In fact, it is an ocean-based product. To obtain Fucoidan, seaweed is harvested by just cutting off the growing tips of the sea plant which will allow the plant to continue to grow and provide a never ending supply of Fucoidan. You can't find Fucoidan in any land-based plants, any fruits or vegetables.What potential benefits could I expect to experience by consuming Fucoidan? Reminder: results may vary from person to person.Studies have shown Fucoidan to:-Enhance immunity -Fight allergies -Inhibit blood clotting -Decrease cholesterol levels -Lower high blood pressure -Stabilize blood sugar -Prevent ulcers by fighting Helicobacter pylori bacteria -Relieve stomach disorders -Improve and support liver function -Promote hair growth -Maintain skin moisture and tighten the skin -Detoxify the body of heavy metals and dangerous chemicals -Have antiviral, antibacterial and anticancer properties -Contain powerful antioxidant compoundsWhat reputable medical journals have articles on Fucoidan?· Anticancer Research · Infection and Immunity · The British Journal of Pharmacology · Nutrition and Cancer · Developmental Biology · The Journal of Molecular Immunology · Journal of Neuroimmunology · Antibiotics and Chemotherapy · Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological ResearchReference: 1) http://ezinearticles.com/?Fucoidan 2) http://www.squidoo.com/fucoidan/3) http://www.ganntech.com/fucoidan.html

Reminder: results may vary from person to person.Studies have shown Fucoidan to:-Enhance immunity -Fight allergies -Inhibit blood clotting -Decrease cholesterol levels -Lower high blood pressure -Stabilize blood sugar -Prevent ulcers by fighting Helicobacter pylori bacteria -Relieve stomach disorders -Improve and support liver function -Promote hair growth -Maintain skin moisture and tighten the skin -Detoxify the body of heavy metals and dangerous chemicals -Have antiviral, antibacterial and anticancer properties -Contain powerful antioxidant compoundsWhat reputable medical journals have articles on Fucoidan?· Anticancer Research · Infection and Immunity · The British Journal of Pharmacology · Nutrition and Cancer · Developmental Biology · The Journal of Molecular Immunology · Journal of Neuroimmunology · Antibiotics and Chemotherapy · Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological ResearchReference: 1) http://ezinearticles.com/?Fucoidan 2) http://www.squidoo.com/fucoidan/3) http://www.ganntech.com/fucoidan.html
MANGOSTEEN
What is Mangosteen?
Mangosteen is commonly pronounced as (mang'g?-sten').The proper Latin or botanical name of the Mangosteen is Garcinia Mangostana L, and the genus Garcinia is an honor bestowed upon Laurent Garcin by Linnaeus for his work as a botanist and naturalist in the 18th century.Where exactly is Mangosteen found? The mangosteen is a fruit originating in Southeast Asia. It is considered a member of the plant family Clusiaceae, although it is often in earlier works referred to as a member of the Guttiferae family. The mangosteen as a fresh fruit is in great demand in its native range and is savored by all who find its subtle flavors a refreshing balance of sweet and sour. The popularity of the mangosteen in its native range has resulted in it being planted as a dooryard or backyard tree or in small plantations and then harvested for local consumption.The wild trees are found in Borneo, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia and other Asian countries where they are sought out and fruits are collected for the markets in towns of the region. The usual method is to climb the tree or use ladders to avoid letting the fruit hit the ground or be handled roughly during the harvest. The bright yellow and very astringent latex which occurs throughout the tree trunk, stems, leaves and developing fruit can enter the edible white portion of the ripe fruit with any undue pressure on the rind of the mangosteen during picking.What potential benefits could I expect to experience by consuming Mangosteen? Reminder: results may vary from person to person.Studies have shown Mangosteen: · To have over 40 different Xanthones, which are chemically beneficial molecules, each having specific leading properties. · These health promoting Xanthones help the body in so many ways - healthy foods help us age more successfully. · These free radical scavenger/fighters stop pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, and help in the body's healing process. · The "strong" antioxidants strengthen cell walls. · They kill bacteria, viruses, and fungus. · They stop the attack in DNA and even have restorative properties. · They help the body run as a complete, interrelated and integrated system. · They help the mind think better, adapt better, and give a sense of well being (anti-depressant). · They stop the damage of brain cells so they grow and divide properly and help the cell walls and the neuro transmitters function properly. · They aid with Alzheimer’s, and all forms of memory loss. · They help in the battle against degenerative diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and all forms of brain malfunctions. · They help the VISION process: cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and other forms of vision loss may be prevented.Today, the Mangosteen rind has been found to contain the compounds alpha-mangostin, beta-mangostin, garcinone B, and garcinone E, which are collectively called xanthones.Laboratory studies suggest xanthones have anti-cancer effects when they are studied in test tubes. Mangosteen has also been found to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiseptic properties in test tube studies.Reference: 1) http://www.mangosteen.com/2) http://www.researchmangosteen.com/ 3) http://www.pubmed.gov/

SEABUCKTHORN
What is Sea Buckthorn?
Sea Buckthorn is commonly pronounced as (See-Buck-thorn).The proper Latin or botanical name of the Sea Buckthorn is Hippophae Rhamnoides.Where exactly is Sea Buckthorn found?Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is one of the important natural resources of the mountainous regions of China and Russia. The plant grows naturally in sandy soil at an altitude of 1,200-4,500 meters (4,000-14,000 feet) in cold climates, though it can be cultivated at lower altitudes and into temperate zones.The berries of Sea Buckthorn are so rich in vitamins and nutrients that it has been even speculated that the plant must have been cultivated by some ancient plant-breeder.What potential benefits could I expect to experience by consuming Sea Buckthorn?Reminder: results may vary from person to person.Studies have shown Sea Buckthorn to:To have a potent antioxidant activity, mainly attributed to its flavonoids and vitamin C content. Both the flavonoids and the oils from sea buckthorn have several potential applications. There are five areas of research that have been focal points for their use: as an aid to patients undergoing cancer therapy; a long-term therapy for reduction of cardiovascular risk factors; treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers; internal and topical therapy for a variety of skin disorders; and as a liver protective agent (for chemical toxins) and a remedy for liver cirrhosis.Cancer therapy: Most of the work done in this area has been with laboratory animals. A group in India headed by HC Goel (at the Department of Radiation Biology, Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences, in Delhi) has published several reports on the potential of a hippophae extract (an alcohol extract, which would mainly contain the flavonoids) to protect the bone marrow from damage due to radiation; his group also showed that the extract may help faster recovery of bone marrow cells. In China, a study was done to demonstrate faster recovery of the hemopoietic system after high dose chemotherapy (with 5-FU) in mice fed the sea buckthorn oil. The seed oil has been found to enhance non-specific immunity and to provide anti-tumor effects in preliminary laboratory studies.Cardiovascular diseases: In a double-blind clinical trial conducted in China, 128 patients with ischemic heart disease were given total flavonoids of sea buckthorn at 10 mg each time, three times daily, for 6 weeks. The patients had a decrease in cholesterol level and improved cardiac function; also they had fewer anginas than those receiving the control drug. No harmful effect of sea buckthorn flavonoids was noted in renal functions or hepatic functions. The mechanism of action may include reduced stress of cardiac muscle tissue by regulation of inflammatory mediators. In a laboratory animal study, the flavonoids of sea buckthorn were shown to reduce the production of pathogenic thromboses. Some simple formulas based on sea buckthorn have been developed recently for treating cardiac disorders. For example, there is a liquid preparation of sea buckthorn flavonoids with carthamus (safflower) and licorice, called Ai Xin Bao (from the Shanxi Ai Xin Biological Technology Development Center), which is intended for use in treatment of coronary heart disease and sequelae of heart attack and stroke, through improving blood circulation and restoring cardiac function.Gastric ulcers: Hippophae is traditionally used in the treatment of gastric ulcers, and laboratory studies confirm the efficacy of the seed oil for this application. Its functions may be to normalize output of gastric acid and reduce inflammation by controlling pro-inflammatory mediators.Liver cirrhosis: A clinical trial demonstrated that sea buckthorn extracts helped normalize liver enzymes, serum bile acids, and immune system markers involved in liver inflammation and degeneration. In addition, sea buckthorn oil protects the liver from damaging effects of toxic chemicals, as revealed in laboratory studies.Skin: An ingredient of the oil, palmitoleic acid, is a component of skin. It is considered a valuable topical agent in treating burns and healing wounds. This fatty acid can also nourish the skin when taken orally if adequate quantities of sea buckthorn or its oil are consumed; this is a useful method for treating systemic skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis. The only other major plant source of palmitoleic acid is macadamia nuts; the oil is used to nourish the skin. Sea buckthorn oil is already widely used alone or in various preparations topically applied for burns, scalds, ulcerations, and infections. It is an ingredient in sunblock-hippophae oil has UV-blocking activity as well as emollient properties-and it is an aid in promoting regeneration of tissues. The fruit may also be used for benefiting the hair: the name hippophae, means shiny horse, and refers to the good coat developed by horses feeding off the plant.Reference:1) http://pubmed.gov/ 2) http://www.itmonline.org/http://www.yayseven.blogspot.com/ is intended for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a guide for diagnosis or treatment of any disease.
