Product Information & Details

Vitamin C is our major water-soluble antioxidant present in blood plasma and cells. This means that it helps prevent oxidation of other water-soluble molecules that could create free radicals – harmful molecules that accelerate the ageing process and cause degenerative disease. Although humans can no longer manufacture vitamin C, fortunately it’s abundant in many fruits and vegetables, and supplements.

Vitamin C is key for collagen production which is the protein that predominantly gives our skin its structure, hence its popularity in beauty products. Vitamin C also helps stimulate the immune system and supports the body’s resistance to stress. It is key in the production of brain neurotransmitters, the body’s main signalling mechanism.

Citrus Bioflavonoids are typically used in health supplements to support the immune system. Bioflavonoids are used as an aid to enhance the action of vitamin C, to support blood circulation, as antioxidants, and to treat allergies, viruses, or arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.

Montmorency cherries are rich in immune-boosting compounds. They contain vitamins and antioxidants that help strengthen the immune system, protecting the body against infections and reducing inflammation. Regular consumption of Montmorency cherries may contribute to overall immune health.

Montmorency cherries = ANTI-INFLAMMATORY & GOUT

In a study by Northumbria University and another by University of Michigan, it was found that Montmorency cherries did in fact improve anti inflammatory properties in the body by lowering Uric acid levels. High levels of Uric acid in the blood can be linked to gout, as well as inflammation in joints, and both studies found Montmorency Cherry to lower levels of Uric acid. These studies were however conducted on healthy subjects, so more research could be needed on patients suffering from gout.

In another study by Northumbria University, Montmorency Cherry was found to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in cyclists after a high intensity simulated race. In relation to strength exercises, the University of Exeter concluded in a 2011 study that Montmorency Cherry consumption “improved the recovery of isometric muscle strength after intensive exercise perhaps due to attenuation of the oxidative damage induced by the damaging exercise”

What is Green Tea? Like all other teas, green tea comes from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant. Many variables during the processing of the tea leaves affect the taste and look of the leaves, with the level of oxidation that they undergo determining the type of tea. Green teas undergo very minimal oxidation and are roasted for only a short amount of time after the harvest, while black teas are fully oxidised. Green tea is one of the least processed types of tea.

Green tea strengthens the immune system because it protects the body against oxidants and radicals. It contains a powerful antioxidant called Epigallocatechin (EGCC) that helps protect cells from damage.  The catechin found in green tea has also been linked to helping with weight loss and blood sugar level regulation. The delicate drink increases the number of “regulatory T cells” that have a great therapeutic potential to influence the immune function and suppression of autoimmune diseases.
