Plant Concentrates – The Heart of Our Value

Phytonutrients are also referred to as phytochemicals. Phytonutrients are natural, bioactive compounds derived from plant sources. They are neither vitamins nor minerals. Phytonutrients are compounds concentrated in the skins of many vegetables and fruits along with accountable colour, hue, scent and flavour.

They are non-nutritive plant chemicals that have a valuable effect on disease prevention. Their role in plants is to protect the plants from diseases, insects, excessive heat, and UV rays in addition to pollutants in the air and soil. In other words, phytonutrients are part of the plants’ immune system.

Phytonutrients have been identified as containing properties that have beneficial effects on health. One of the most important roles of phytonutrients is functioning as antioxidants which are able to neutralise free radicals. Phytonutrients also help in strengthening our body’s immune response.

Phytonutrients such as carotenoids and flavonoids act like a protective armour to keep invading pollutants and germs from entering cells. In addition, phytonutrients protect body cells from cellular damage. They help cells repair themselves by stimulating the release of protective enzymes or enzymes that rebuild damaged cells.

What is missing in your multi?

Most multivitamins offer the standard array of vitamins and minerals, many at 100% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI). But what makes a multi different? The answer is plant concentrates.

Whereas nutrient quantity has been the primary focus in the past i.e. health authorities around the world have established minimum requirements for vitamins and minerals, protein, carbohydrates and fats, nutrient quality is increasingly recognised as playing a key role in maintaining good health. Researchers now recognise the importance of phytonutrients – the nutrients found in plant-derived foods.

Many studies point to inadequate intake of plant-based foods as the most significant shortfall in good nutrition. As it is difficult to ensure that an individual always obtains a rich variety of plant-based foods consistently, plant-based nutritional supplements are created to help people fill the gaps in their diets to restore balance.

Why Take A Multi?

The pace at which we live our lives and the demands of an increasingly hectic lifestyle can chip away at our best intentions for a healthier diet. A healthy diet can go a long way in giving us the stamina, energy and lasting health we require to keep up with life and achieve our goals.

Most individuals face a variety of nutrition challenges every day where they are unable to:

	eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and wholegrains
	eat enough plant-based foods for good health (according to global health surveys).
	limit the intake of foods containing unhealthy fats and sugars. It goes without saying that nothing can substitute for the vitamins, minerals, fibre and other nutrients available in whole foods. But when we can’t or don’t eat what we should, there’s a way to add the nutrients we need. In 2002, a report in the leading medical journal, JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association), recommends that all adults take a multivitamin every day as one way to ensure an adequate intake of important vitamins and minerals.1

Fibre-Contributes to your daily recommended allowance of fibre. nsoluble fibre helps regulate bowel movement. Soluble fibre helps add bulk to food and increases the feeling of fullness. It also binds with fatty acids and excretes them from the body. FOS support intestinal health by helping the good bacteria in the gut to flourish.

This is to avoid pesticide contamination caused by agriculture. It contains a high percentage of 10-HDA, in the range of 5.7 to 6.1%. Generally, fresh royal jelly which contains only 2% 10-HDA and needs to be refrigerated. Liquid royal jelly in soft gel is reconstituted lyophilised royal jelly with soy and lecitin.... Royal jelly in softgel may contain less 10-HDA than the pure lyophilised royal jelly.

Vegetable capsules used are suitable for vegetarians and those with religious restrictions. Royal jelly is rich in 10-HDA (a beneficial fatty acid) and nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids and beneficial enzymes. Bee Treasures Royal Jelly is harvested from remote, uncultivated regions.
