[What is St. John's wort]

St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) has a history of use as a medicine dating back to ancient Greece, where it was used for a range of illnesses, including various nervous disorders. St. John’s wort also has antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral properties. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it has been applied to the skin to help heal wounds and burns. St. John’s wort is one of the most commonly purchased herbal products in the United States.

In recent years, St. John’s wort has been studied extensively as a treatment for depression. Most studies show that St. John’s wort may help treat mild-to-moderate depression, and has fewer side effects than most other prescription antidepressants.

https://www.jukasorganic.com/ As seen on the Dr. OZ show, Red Palm Oil has a lot of healthy benefits. My ancestors have also been cooking with this heart healthy oil for centuries. Juka’s Palm Oil is from Africa, it is one of the most Organic and pure Palm Oil you can ever find. Identify pure palm oil by looking at the color of the oil, not the color of the bottle, the consistency and taste.Red Palm Oil, the staple oil in the Africa and Asia continents, naturally contains unique phytonutrients that are proven to be beneficial to human health. The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), from which red palm oil is derived contains the phytonutrients tocotrienols (vitamin E), mixed carotenoids, phytosterols, squalene and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Of these, the tocotrienols and carotenoids in particular, are proven to confer health benefits such as potent cardioprotection, neuroprotection and skin nutrition; as mentioned by Dr. Mehmet Oz in his recent TV program, where he called it his most miraculous find in 2013 to address the aging process. Scientific evidence (more than 700 published papers) have shown tocotrienols together with the phytonutrients from unrefined red palm oil contribute to these health benefits. Tocotrienols are members of the vitamin E family. In the body, vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that protects lipid from peroxidation and help quench free radicals. However, there is a difference in antioxidant potency between tocotrienol and its sibling tocopherol. Tocotrienol has been shown to be 40 to 60 times more potent than tocopherol as an antioxidant. Red palm oil is a natural plant source of carotenes in terms of retinol (vitamin A) equivalents, providing 7,000 retinol equivalents (RE) per 100 grams. This is about 17 times as much beta-carotene as carrots, in terms of retinol equivalents. Some carotenoids, such as beta-carotene and alpha-carotene, act as precursor of vitamin A. Lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin are carotenoids that do not have vitamin A activity, but possess other health-promoting biological properties. The primary forms of carotenoids in red palm oil are beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, gamma-carotene and lycopene. Extra virgin red palm oil contains the highest alpha-carotene level among all the plant sources. “Our bottle is transparent, what you see is what you get”.

What are steviol glycosides?
You have the stevia growing on the ground, it has a little green stevia leaves and in fact we don’t eat or even chew on that whole leaf. Many hundreds of years ago people on south America really did chew on a whole leaf and you certainly can. But if when we look at putting stevia into baked goods or into yogurt or into some kind of ice tea or beverages we want to get the peace of the leaf that’s really delivering the sweetness. And it turns out when you look at leaf there are lot of this different compounds called steviol glycosides – some sweeter than the others..some are earthiness than the others do in terms of the flavor profile it’s a plant, a natural plant that’s gonna have some variability. So we look at the leaf we figure out which steviol glycosides is really delivering the kind of sweetness for a certain product that we want to develop and we isolate that particular glycosides.
