The Scientific Research Summary Seabuckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides) Seabuckthorn has been used for centuries in both Europe and Asia for food and pharmaceutical purposes. Seabuckthorn contains more than 190 kinds of bio-active substances, and its oil contains 106 of these substances. These compounds include many fat soluble vitamins (A, K and E), water soluble vitamins (C, B1, B2, folic acid etc.), 22 fatty acids, 42 lipids, organic acids, amino acids, carbohydrates, tocopherols, flavonoids, phenols, terpenes and tannins. These organic acids are known for certain physiological functions in the body such as reducing the toxic effects of some medicines like barbitals and antibiotics, and preventing teratogenesis and damage from X- rays.

Garlic (Allium Sativum) Daily use of garlic in the diet has been shown to have beneficial effects on the body, especially the blood system and the heart. Scientific data reveals that garlic reduces glucose metabolism in diabetics, slows the development of arteriosclerosis and lowers the risk of heart attacks. Without a doubt, garlic provides the body with protection against cardiovascular disease. Garlic and its preparations, such as aged garlic extract, have been widely recognized as agents for prevention and treatment of: cardiovascular and other metabolic diseases atherosclerosis - hardening and/or thickening of the arteries, a process in which deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium and other substances build up in the inner lining of an artery hyperlipidemia - an elevation of lipids (fats) in the bloodstream thrombosis - formation of a blood clot within a deep vein hypertension - condition in which blood pressure is persistently elevated microbial infections asthma diabetes The Nutrition Committee of the American Heart Association publicly acknowledged garlic s potential in helping to reduce the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases. The November 1998 conference in Newport Beach, CA., on garlic and garlic supplements, sponsored by the Bethesda, Md.-based National Cancer Institute and Pennsylvania State University in University Park, showed that garlic supplements may prevent heart disease and cancer, help memory and extend life. The Aged Garlic Extract in Seabuckthorn Formula provides the nutritional composition and therapeutic effectiveness of garlic, without irritating the stomach and producing the offensive smell. Aged Garlic Extract - liver and cancer Another priceless benefit of garlic for health and long life is liver protection. Many of the studies would indicate that aged garlic is a powerful detoxifying agent that can protect against various liver toxins. In addition to its liver and heart-protective activity, aged garlic may also provide protection against cancer by mobilizing the effectiveness of the body s immune system. Page 5
Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum Frutescens) Cayenne, known also as red pepper, is one of the oldest and most widely used vegetables in the world. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years. The plant was cultivated in Peru as far back as 4,000 years ago. In the 15th century, cayenne was brought from the West Indies by Columbus and introduced to Europe. Consumption of cayenne stimulates the gut s mucosal cells, which release more slimy mucous that coats the wall of intestines, including sore and bleeding ulcers. Chili peppers like cayenne have a bad reputation for contributing to stomach ulcers. Not only do they not cause ulcers, these hot peppers may help prevent them by killing bacteria you may have ingested, while powerfully stimulating the cells lining the stomach to secrete protective buffering juices that prevent ulcer formation. The use of cayenne pepper is actually associated with a reduced risk of stomach ulcers. The New England Journal of medicine reported that residents of Thailand have virtually no blood clot problems because of their frequent consumption of red pepper. Cayenne Pepper is helpful in boosting blood flow in blood vessels by increasing nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and it helps to remove metabolic waste. According to scientific data, this is one of the best body cleansing agents. Research suggests that Cayenne Pepper can help to: ANTI-TUMOR PROTECTION Manage prostate cancer Decrease the growth of: - human leukemic cells - stomach cancer cell line - hepatic carcinoma cells CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM HEALTH Benefit the cardiovascular system Prevent in the development of atherosclerosis Reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels Reduce platelet aggregation Increase fibrinolytic activity Page 6
