Properties

Dietary supplement.

The action of a specific product is determined by the biological properties of the active substances included in its composition.

The dietary supplement used may not include all the active substances listed below.

Polyphenolic compounds are natural organic substances whose molecules contain 2 or more phenolic groups. They are antioxidants. They can have a bactericidal effect, improve the state of the immune system, and reduce capillary permeability. Polyphenolic compounds include flavonoids, tannin; lignans.

Flavonoids are widely distributed in the plant world. They have pronounced antioxidant properties; various flavonoids have antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial properties and other types of biological activity. In plants, flavonoids are found in the form of flavonoglycosides and in free form.

The main classes of flavonoids include flavanones (hesperidin, diosmin, naringin), dihydrochalcones, chalcones, flavans (catechin, anthocyanidins), flavanonols (dihydroflavonols), flavonols (quercetin, dihydroquercetin, rutin), flavones (apigenin, luteolin), and isoflavonoids.

Catechins are compounds of plant origin. Catechin and its diastereomer, epicatechin, are widely distributed in nature. They have high biological activity: they regulate capillary permeability. Catechins are found in many plants and plant products and are strong antioxidants.

They have a number of beneficial properties, including helping to strengthen the capillary wall, more efficient use of ascorbic acid by the body; delay the development of degenerative bone diseases; help improve skin condition; exhibit antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties; can suppress Helicobacter pylori without affecting the beneficial microorganisms of the intestinal biota.

The antioxidant properties of catechins are several times stronger than those of vitamins C and E.

Tannins (tannic acids) are organic substances of natural origin. Tannins are most abundant in oak bark. They give an astringent taste to fruits and wines and are found in tea. The difference between tannins and other polyphenolic compounds is their ability to form strong hydrogen bonds with proteins. They have astringent, antibacterial, hemostatic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Anthocyanidins are present in plants in the form of glycosides (anthocyanins). They give plant tissues a variety of colors – from pink to black-violet.

Hesperidin – a bioflavonoid. Reduces venous distensibility, increases their tone, which helps reduce venous congestion; reduces capillary permeability and increases their resistance, improves microcirculation and lymph flow.

Lignans are found in the greatest quantity in Schisandra chinensis. Schisandra lignans – schisandrins, have tonic activity. Eleutherosides – eleutherococcus lignans – increase the synthesis of endorphins, which cause the breakdown of fats and their release into the blood. They activate carbohydrate metabolism, preventing their conversion into fats.

Rutoside (rutin) is an angioprotector. It belongs to the vitamin P group. By eliminating increased capillary permeability, it strengthens the vascular wall and reduces its swelling and inflammation. It has an antiplatelet effect, which helps improve microcirculation. It slows down the development of diabetic retinopathy. When applied topically, it also has a cooling and soothing effect.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) ensures collagen synthesis; participates in the formation and maintenance of the structure and function of cartilage, bones, teeth; affects the formation of hemoglobin and the maturation of red blood cells.

Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol acetate) has antioxidant properties, maintains the stability of red blood cells, prevents hemolysis; has a positive effect on the functions of the gonads, nervous and muscle tissue.

Carotenoids (beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene) are natural organic pigments synthesized by bacteria, fungi, algae, higher plants and coral polyps; they are colored yellow, orange or red. Beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A. It has an antioxidant effect and has the ability to inactivate free radicals under hypoxic conditions. It has an immunomodulatory effect. Increases the body’s resistance to infections.

Caffeine – increases mental and physical performance, stimulates mental activity, motor activity, shortens reaction time, temporarily reduces fatigue and drowsiness.

Organic acids, including hydroxycitric acid, a group of hydroxycinnamic acids, are found mainly in plant products: in fruits, berries, some vegetables and their processed products. It is believed that organic acids promote the acceleration of physiological processes.

Panaxosides are triterpene glycosides, the main source of which is ginseng root. They increase the body’s resistance to harmful physical, chemical and biological factors. Their immunostimulating effect is expressed in the stimulation of antibody production, accompanied by an increase in the amount of total protein and gamma globulins in the blood. Panaxosides stimulate hematopoiesis, almost doubling the biosynthesis of nucleic acids, proteins and fats in the bone marrow. They help normalize the functioning of organs and various functions of the body.

Aescin is a triterpene glycoside (saponin) from the fruits (seeds) of horse chestnut. It has pronounced capillary protective activity and has an anti-exudative effect.

Salidroside is a phenolic glycoside found in significant quantities in the roots and rhizomes of Rhodiola rosea and Rhodiola quadrifida, in willow bark; has a stimulating and adaptogenic effect.

Arbutin is a phenolic glycoside that is broken down in the human body into hydroquinone and glucose. It has pronounced antiseptic properties. It is found in many plants, including wintergreen, cowberry, bearberry, mulberry, bergenia, and Caucasian blueberry. The active compound has a significant antiseptic effect on the urinary tract.
