[What is Rhodiola Rosea]

Rhodiola Rosea (also known as Arctic root or golden root) is a member of the family Crassulaceae, a family of plants native to the arctic regions of Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed  in Arctic and mountainous regions throughout Europe and Asia. It grows at altitudes of 11,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level.

There are numerous animal and test tube studies showing that rhodiola has both a stimulating and a sedating effect on the central nervous system; enhance physical endurance; improves thyroid, thymus, and adrenal function; protects the nervous system, heart and liver; and has antioxidant and anticancer properties.

[Function]

1 Enhancing immunity and delaying aging;

2 Resisting radiation and tumor;

3 Regulating nervous system and metabolism, effectively limiting melancholy feeling and mood, and promoting mental status;

4 Protecting cardiovascular, dilating coronary artery,preventing coronary arteriosclerosis and arrhythmia.

Video abstract of Original Research paper “Ulva lactuca polysaccharides prevent Wistar rat breast carcinogenesis through the augmentation of apoptosis, enhancement of antioxidant defense system, and suppression of inflammation” published in the open access journal Breast Cancer – Targets and Therapy by Abd-Ellatef et al.

Background: Recently, several research studies have been focused on the isolation and function of the polysaccharides derived from different algal species, which revealed multiple biological activities such as antioxidant and antitumor activities. This study assesses the possible breast cancer chemopreventive properties of common seaweeds, sea lettuce, Ulva lactuca (ulvan) polysaccharides using in vitro bioassays on human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and an in vivo animal model of breast carcinogenesis.
Methods: Cytotoxic effect of ulvan polysaccharides on MCF-7 was tested in vitro. For an in vivo investigation, a single dose of 25 mg/kg body weight 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and ulvan polysaccharides (50 mg/kg body weight every other day) for 10 weeks were administered orally to the Wistar rats.
Results: Deleterious histopathological alterations in breast tissues including papillary cyst adenoma and hyperplasia of ductal epithelial lining with intraluminal necrotic materials and calcifications were observed in the DMBA-administered group. These lesions were prevented in the DMBA-administered group treated with ulvan polysaccharides. The immunohistochemical sections depicted that the treatment of DMBA-administered rats with ulvan polysaccharides markedly increased the lowered pro-apoptotic protein, p53, and decreased the elevated anti-apoptotic
marker, bcl2, expression in the breast tissue. The elevated lipid peroxidation and the suppressed antioxidant enzyme activities in DMBA-administered control were significantly prevented by
the treatment with ulvan polysaccharides. The elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α and nitric oxide were significantly ameliorated in DMBA-administered rats treated with ulvan polysaccharides as compared to DMBA-administered control.
Conclusion: In conclusion, ulvan polysaccharides at the level of initiation and promotion might have potential chemopreventive effects against breast carcinogenesis. These preventive effects
may be mediated through the augmentation of apoptosis, suppression of oxidative stress and inflammation, and enhancement of antioxidant defense system.

Pure, Organic Cacao from the Rainforest

Through nutritional analysis, we are learning and naming over 300 chemical compounds at play in cacao. We are exploring their psychochemical effects on us — our central nervous systems, our bodies, minds and moods.

Antioxidant Rich:
Cocoa beans are rich in specific antioxidants such as catechins and epicatechins, the antioxidants found in green tea, as well as flavonoids, proanthocyanidins and polyphenols, the antioxidants found in red wine and grape seeds.

A Healthy Cardiovascular System:
Many studies published in the past few years have revealed the health-promoting properties of cacao, especially on the cardiovascular system. One study concluded that cocoa powder and dark chocolate favorably affect cardiovascular disease risk status by modestly reducing LDL oxidation susceptibility, and increasing serum total antioxidant capacity and HDL-cholesterol concentrations.

Improved Concentration and Mood:
Take pure dark chocolate to increase concentration and elevate mood. Cacao is also a unique source of the biogenic amine phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA is known as the molecule of love. When taken orally, it increases attention and concentration, and elevates mood.

Organic Chocolate Infused with 11 Powerful Rainforest Botanicals

Chocamaca is more than a great-tasting, healthy chocolate. It contains 11 other unique ingredients to provide your body with an enjoyable source of concentrated nutrients from wild, whole foods. These powerful botanicals provide energy, boost your immune system, support a healthy heart and so much more. Here’s what else you’ll find in each delicious ball of Chocamaca:

Kiwicha — promotes good cardiovascular health*
Maca — supports energy*
Muira Puama — supports nervous system*
Suma — supports hormonal balance*
Camu Camu — provides high concentration of natural vitamin C*
Blue-Green Algae — helps boost your immune system*
Catuaba — supports increased libido*
Jatoba — supports endurance and overall strength*
Fucus — helps stimulate lymphatic circulation*
Bitter Orange — an aid to soothing stomach disturbances*
Canela — provides invigoration*

Low in Calories and Fat

Compared to other chocolates and candy, Chocamaca is low in calories and fat. If chocolate has a bad reputation as far as health is concerned, it is strictly because of the refined white sugar commercial chocolate contains. Otherwise, pure cacao is a rich source of antioxidants which support a healthy heart, help reduce harmful cholesterol and boost the immune system. Add 11 nutritious herbs, and you have a deliciously healthy treat!

Amazon Herb Company’s Chocamaca goes a big step further in rejoining chocolate with traditional herbs and grains from its original bioregion, then molding them into small spheres reminiscent of Tibetan herb balls.

What is it about chocolate that would make 50% of women reportedly claim to prefer chocolate to sex?
Yes, most chocolate contains some sugar. But chocolate clearly delivers far more than a brief sugar high. Remove the refined white sugar and we move closer to the bitter herb of its origin.

What is it we love so much in chocolate?
Could it be chocolate’s tryptophan, the essential amino acid that enhances serotonin function, hence diminishing anxiety? Theobromine may be the Aztecs’ agent against mental stupor. Or perhaps chocolate’s key to our hearts is its phenylethylamine (PEA) content. Phenylethylamine, commonly called the “love molecule,” is a natural chemical suspected of causing the euphoria experienced by lovers.

PEA’s presence in wild blue-green algae, another ingredient in Chocamaca, may explain the increased energy, enhanced mental clarity and pervasive upbeat optimism experienced by algae eaters.
