Schisandra berry

ensures a good mood, anti-aging effect

The Schisandra berry is a Chinese medicinal plant that has been used for thousands of years in China against numerous health complaints. The small "berries of the five tastes" (Wu Wei Zi) actually taste very unusual. Among other things, they strengthen memory, eyesight and hearing, and not least the libido of men and women. Their liver-strengthening effect has even been proven in medical studies. All in all, schisandra berries are considered a fountain of youth, with the help of which one can grow very old without signs of age.

Moringa

increases libido, compensates for deficiency symptoms

The effect of Moringa is based on healthy plant substances, especially protein, minerals and vitamins characterise the plant parts of the Moringa tree. In addition, the roots, leaves, seeds and fruit provide high concentrations of secondary plant substances, including anthoyans, beta-carotene, lutein, quercetin, kaempferol, tannin, ellagic acid, saponins and terpenes. These are antioxidants, i.e. substances that protect our cells from free radicals. These aggressive oxygen compounds are produced in the body under oxidative stress, for example by UV light, environmental toxins, alcohol and constant tension. Free radicals play a role in the development of cancer and vascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis. In addition, they accelerate the ageing of the skin and internal organs.

Moringa contains especially many antioxidants
The antioxidants of the moringa tree are particularly strong in the fight against free radicals. The so-called ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is used to determine how potent antioxidants from fruit and vegetables are. This value shows how many free radicals the food can render harmless. Studies have shown that the Moringa tree, with an ORAC of 10,000 to 60,000 units, probably beats all other fruits and vegetables that are otherwise considered good suppliers of antioxidants.

Moringa to lose weight and stay slim
Presumably, the large amount of these substances is the reason why tea and powder from the moringa tree do not exactly flatter the palate, but rather taste bitter and pungent. But it is precisely these bitter and pungent substances that make moringa so suitable for weight loss. The substances are known to melt excess body fat. They stimulate digestion, curb appetite and make you feel full faster. Moringa powder, moringa tea or moringa capsules can therefore support any diet. By the way, moringa is also suitable for staying slim after a diet, i.e. to avoid the yo-yo effect.

Moringa for vegetarians and vegans
In addition, moringa provides a lot of high-quality vegetable protein - about twice as much as soy. This is not only important for losing weight. The plant protein provides lasting satiety and ensures that the muscles do not suffer when losing weight. The high protein content is also interesting for all those who abstain from meat. Vegetarians and vegans therefore benefit from moringa as a meat substitute. In addition, moringa oil, seeds, powder and roots contain numerous vitamins and minerals.

As with many other remedies of this kind, these effects have now been partially scientifically proven.
