Managing BioActives: A Game Changer in Personal Health

One of the issues often faced by proponents of herbal medicine is the changing composition of active ingredients in a plant. Plants change daily, and insuring that they are potent when harvested is a complex task that involves both ancient and modern science.

Numerous factors in the growth cycle of the plant need to be managed and then verified by modern technologies that calculate the active ingredient in plant matter. For an ideal composition, plants must be grown in ideal soil and climate conditions in accordance with moon cycles. If the root is to be used the plant must be harvested on no moon dates. If the shoot is to be used, the plant should be harvested on full moon days. The water fed to these plants should be structured and archetypical in nature. Plants should also be grown in their original biotope to insure they receive the bio-field support of the forest they are used to.

We at Biogetica take great care to insure that the plants we use in our products are potent and pure. The agriculture facilities and forests we work with globally are renowned for their biodiversity. The forests and plantations pictured below are considered some of the most bio-diverse on the planet. It is these various factors that insure each batch of our products bears the potential to uplift lives globally. We have already verified with modern technology that all these factors of biodynamic and Siddha agriculture make a huge difference in the plants active ingredient profile and yet we test each batch of herbs individually to insure their potency. Curcuma Longa for example can contain anywhere from 30% to 95% curcumin and we standardise each batch to bring you the best we can bottle.

The Microcosmic Orbit: Health Secrets from the Ancients

Ancient sciences have spoken for a long time about the energy body. It is connected to our body through a network of meridians and cavities. Modern science is also waking up to this truth as MRI scans show meridians. Scientists have also studied the electrical conductivity of our body at this meridian point.

Meditation traditions like chi gung or pranayama are centered on moving and balancing the energy along these meridians. Eastern physicians are able to predict health problems when they notice that the energy flow in a particular meridian has not been balanced. Low kidney energy can be detected by the pulse and indicate that kidney problems are imminent.

Microcosmic orbit meditation is done to balance the energy in the main meridians on the body. The ancients believed that it had countless health and meditation benefits.

 

It is easy to do the microcosmic circle. Chi flows wherever our awareness goes, so the process is simply to bring awareness to various energy centers within the body.

Below are simple instructions on how to use microcosmic orbit. Here you can listen to an audio recording.
1. Put your tongue on the roof of your mouth
2. Smile with your eyes
3. Feel the energy in your smile.
4. Let the smile fall into your throat. It will feel similar to the ripples you get when you drop a pebble into a pond.
5. Continue to smile with your eyes, and allow the energy from it to ooze into the heart like honey. It will again feel like ripples hitting the heart
6. Feel the energy ripples as it enters the center of the solar plexus.
7. Now, let the energy drip into the two middle fingers just below the belly button
8. Allow the energy to drip into your perineum
9. The energy will be sent up your back by pressing the sacral pump located at the bottom.
10. It will move from the solar plexus to the heart, throat, and back of the head, then down to the brow center.
11. Repeat this process for 3, 9, or 18 cycles.

Celebrating Today’s Health Heroes: Real Stories, Real Impact

We are witnessing a new interest in natural medicines, and we see that single herbs or their derivatives have become heroes.

This is news that I should welcome as an Ayurvedic doctor who has dedicated his life to natural medicines. It’s true, I do. But I find some aspects of it troubling.

Let me explain. Ayurveda is a system of medicine that uses over 34,000 documented and registered formulations, created by combining about 10,000 plant species.

Today, when something is popularly accepted by the public it’s immediately viewed as a panacea. It’s troubling that people take what their friends recommend and then claim nature did not work for them. Nature is the only thing that keeps us alive.

Moringa, coconuts, turmeric, and CBD are some of the plants that have been hailed as miracle cures in the past year.

These claims of cure-alls are rarely accurate and precise. In Ayurveda, each plant is not only understood for its molecular properties but also for its five-element properties. Garlic, which is good for the flu because of its saponins but bad for herpes due to it being hot is a great example. Ayurveda has studied CBD for thousands of years and we know its side effects and uses. I have never seen a Doctor or an article that mentions the Ayurvedic view of CBD. Coconuts have some wonderful uses but also come with warnings and restrictions on consumption. Coconuts are cooling, and they only grow in warm climates. Coconuts are not suitable for consumption on cold nights in winter. The article on coconuts won’t tell you this.

Ayurveda would not have 34000 formulas if it had a single cure-all. It doesn’t exist, so we have a lot of precise formulas that are based on prior knowledge.

Ayurveda’s study of synergies seems to be lost in this obsession with single herbs. In Ayurveda, you will rarely hear a single herb prescribed. These combinations were created by enlightened doctors in the past for a specific reason. Now, the importance of this combination is being ignored. Patients will sometimes tell us that the capsules we sell only contain 50mg of turmeric, while another one has 500mg. In such observations, it’s easy to overlook the fact that the liver will flush out 490 mg of the 500 mg of Turmeric. The synergistic mixture of 50 mg turmeric will be absorbed by the body and will do its job. For example, we have a number of formulas that contain turmeric. Each formula has a specific use. The turmeric we use contains 95% curcumin and you won’t find it anywhere else.

It is my mission to make plants known and understood as medicine. My ancestors, who were both horticulturists as well as doctors, have passed this mission on to me. Please contact us if you have any questions about plants or foods. You can do this via the Doctor Consult feature on www.biogetica.com.

NADH: The Revolutionary Anti-Aging Breakthrough of this Century

There are many articles about NADH on the internet. Scientific American, and many other new credible sources, rave about this molecule. Recent studies by Harvard Medical School and other leading institutions have proven that NADH reverses the aging of cells.

Many articles suggest that NADH may be available in 3 to 5 years time as a drug. Biogetica, on the other hand, offers NADH today.

In healthy young cells, vitamin B3 is converted to NADH. With age, your ability to convert it to NADH drops rapidly. This leads to the aging spiral. Supplementing with NADH can help you get out of this spiral.

Visit our NADH page for more information about NADH. It is available in 5 different supplement blends, made in our state-of-the-art laboratory in Spain. The blends are designed to complement NADH’s energy-producing, detoxifying, brain-enhancing, and weight-reducing properties.

For example, if you wish to:

  • Take Cerevitan to improve memory and brain function.
  • Detox & Cleanse take Detoxym
  • Serenat Take Serenat to increase clarity and focus
  • Cardivas To support the heart and cardiovascular systems, take Cardivas
  • Take Dormisol to sleep better.

Ayurvedic Diet Principles: A Modern Spin on Ancient Wisdom

Over the past decade of our operations we have seen many diet fads come and go. Our Doctors have often found that these extreme diet fads lack balance and a deeper understanding of the nature of food beyond molecules.

The scientific wisdom of Ayurveda, whose roots date back thousands of years not only looks at food in terms of its molecular nature but also takes into consideration the inter-relation of the five elements namely earth, water, fire, air and ether in the food.

Ayurveda is not about excluding certain foods and including others, it is more about understanding your constitution and eating wisely since food is medicine. Ayurveda classifies food into 6 tastes, which include sweet, salty, pungent, sour, bitter and astringent and recommends including all the 6 tastes for a wholesome diet.

Ayurveda explains that every being is made up of a combination of 3 fundamental energies (doshas)-Vata (wind), Pitta(fire) and Kapha (earth) and depending on your predominant energy; some foods will be highly beneficial whereas other may create imbalances in your body. To know more about your dominating dosha refer to our Prakruti analysis chart here

Just as a human body is made up of fundamental energies, food also has its own taste, heating or cooling energy and a post –digestive effect and this brings us to an important concept of food combinations.

Combining foods that have opposite effects on your body leads to an overload on your digestive fire resulting in toxin production, indigestion, putrefaction, gas formation etc.

In order to help you understand bad food combinations we’ve compiled a list of common diet fallacies. Our vision however is always one of moderation, balance and freedom and therefore we request that you treat these diet recommendations as general guidelines to be incorporated into your life as opposed to hard and fast rules that limit your freedom. Believe it or not, we have actually seen cases of diet creators and authors suffer from the constrictions they have placed on their diet and life.  Hard and fast rules essentially create mental and emotional barriers, which ultimately disturb the flow of life within the body mind continuum.

As a general rule, eat the following food items alone rather than combining them with other food items

  1. Milk (except with rice, oats, almonds and dates)
  2. Fruits (except foods with similar qualities, eg- all citrus foods, apples with pears, an assortment of all berries etc)
  3. Melons ( don’t combine them with any other fruit)

Other popular incompatible combinations include[1]

Food Incompatible with
Milk Cheese, eggs , fruits  especially bananas, melons, citrus fruits, and sour fruits , meat, yogurt
Eggs Milk, cheese, yogurt, fruit , beans, potatoes, meat ,fish
Cheese Fruit, eggs, beans, milk, yogurt, hot drinks, potatoes, tomatoes, pepper
Beans Fruit, eggs, fish, milk, meat, yogurt, cheese
Potatoes, Tomatoes Melons, cucumber, dairy products
Butter and ghee (clarified Butter) Ghee is more compatible than butter
Yogurt Fruit, cheese, eggs, fish, milk, meat, hot drinks

 

You may find certain incompatible combinations hard to accept, however this list is just a helpful guide and not exhaustive. Moreover, we’d advise you to move slowly and implement one change at a time to understand the differences in your energy levels and general well being.  Moreover, what may work for you may not suit another member of your family owing to your unique constitution. So, it is best to listen to your body and accordingly make changes that will help you remain healthy and full of life.

A strong digestive fire is a blessing as it can help you deal with incompatible food combinations effectively.
Some useful tips to increase your belly fire and improve your digestion include:

1. Consuming ½ tsp of freshly grated ginger with a pinch of rock salt at the beginning of a meal can help stimulate the digestive fire.
2. Ghee (clarified butter) stimulates the fire and aids in digestion.
3. Sipping on warm water between meals improves digestion and enhances absorption. On the other hand, iced water makes your metabolism sluggish.
4. Chewing your food properly aids digestion rather than swallowing it hastily as it doesn’t mix well with the saliva.
5. Eat only when you’re hungry and not when you’re only plain thirsty. Try understanding the needs of your body.
6. Eat and drink till you are 75% full. Do not overeat as it stifles the digestive fire.

Our body has a unique quality of adaptation and we may have therefore not observed any untoward effect whilst eating wrong combinations earlier. Moreover, indulging in incompatible foods occasionally does not adversely affect the digestive fire. However, it is important that we eat mindfully because as the adage goes- You are what you Eat.

Herpes Cure 2019: A Ray of Hope on the Horizon

 

The conventional medical system is baffled by viral infections, as none of the drugs can completely eliminate the virus and the patient remains susceptible to relapse. There have been billions spent on research, but there is still no cure in the conventional medicine system for the common cold. Scientists have said that there is no cure, but anyone who has successfully treated a cold using natural methods will tell you the opposite!

Herpes simplex is another example. It is a very annoying infection that almost all sexually active people contract. Unfortunately! There is no cure for Herpes in conventional medicine! Herpes is a complex infection to treat as the virus hides in the blood-brain barrier, which conventional medicine cannot reach. Research has shown that some natural molecules, such as Astaxanthin, may be able to cross the blood-brain barrier to deliver nutrition to nerve ganglia.

Can astaxanthin act as a carrier for something like Hypericum Mysorense that “suppressed Herpes 100%” when tested in a laboratory setting 2, to the virus in the nerve ganglia? This question could lead to a Herpes Cure.

In 2019, it is clear that doctors, scientists, and patients alike are turning to nature as a source of medicine. Natural medicines are more effective than pharmaceuticals in treating chronic ailments. Certain natural substances, especially for herpes, have shown promise in reducing outbreaks’ duration and decreasing the probability of future ones.

Read more

Some of the most promising include

Hypericum Mysorense

The study published in peer-reviewed medical journals on this herb and HSV made headlines around the world. This article, which can be found in the US Library of Medicine, states on page 28 that “Our results showed H. mysorense & H. hookerianum inhibited HSV-1.” 3

Biogetica holds several patents for its Hyperisince formulation, which combines Hypericum with other herbs.

Herpes nosodes:

Herpes Nosodes contain energetic imprints from the Herpes virus RNA, which are thought to activate specific immune responses. These do not contain virus-like vaccines. In a French trial, 82% of genital-herpes patients who took herpes noodes for six months had reduced outbreaks or none at all for five years. 4

Homeopaths believe that nosodes are an important tool because they remind the immune system of its duty to act even when the virus is dormant. Nosodes are considered valid treatment methods in most of Europe. They represent the current state of Homeopathy. Switzerland passed a new law to ensure that homeopathy and nosodes are covered by insurance.

The problem with these two was that they could not cross the blood-brain barrier on their own. Astaxanthin and nanotechnology can help. If someone is able to deliver an herb such as Hypericum mysorense, which suppresses herpes into the nerve ganglia, they might be able to eliminate the virus and cure herpes.

Antibody tests cannot determine the effectiveness of this treatment. Antibodies are the body’s defence system and we always have antibodies against any virus that we were infected or vaccinated with. In order to determine if someone has been cured or is free of a viral condition, we must look at PCR DNA tests. These tests look for the virus itself and not the antibodies our body produced against it.

Biogetica’s latest herpes patents combine two potent transports to get Hypericum mysorense into the cell walls and past the blood-brain barrier. This new formula will be released to the public by the end 2019 of this year. We already have one of these transporters in our existing Hyperisince product to get the herb through the cell wall. Astaxanthin could potentially allow it to pass the blood-brain barrier.

Occidental Allopathic Medicine has done a great job in studying the molecules that make up life and controlling symptoms through these molecules. Life is not just about molecules, and these molecules are often ineffective at addressing the underlying cause of disease or rejuvenating organ systems that have been affected. More and more scientists are now turning back to nature.

Biogetica offers customized Immune Boost Protocols, which are designed to enhance the body’s innate defense mechanism. A strong immune system is able to deflect any predators that may enter the body.

Cinnamon: Health Benefits, Nutritional Facts and Traditional Uses

Cinnamon

If you’re looking to remain healthy and not resorting to chemicals to achieve that, then your best shot is including cinnamon in your daily diet.

Yes! Cinnamon, that innocuous looking spice sitting in your kitchen cabinet in form of sticks or powder is your perfect ally in accomplishing your health goals.

Cinnamon belongs to the laurel family and there are over 200 different species belonging to the genus Cinnamomum. However, only 4 varieties have made it to the commercial arena with Cassia Cinnamon and Ceylon Cinnamon being the most popular.

Of the 2 varieties, Ceylon Cinnamon is called ‘True cinnamon’ and is considered more healthy, since it  has lesser of the coumarin content, which is believed to have detrimental effects on the body if consumed in excess. It is also more expensive and that is one of the reasons you’ll find more of the cassia variety in the market, as it is easily available, cheaper, and spicier. However, it also contains more of coumarin.

Cinnamon’s Nutritional Profile

Cinnamon’s main active constituents that also impart the health benefiting properties are cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl acetate, and cinnamyl alcohol. It is also known to be a good source of iron, calcium, manganese, zinc and fiber.

Culinary uses

Cinnamon has a distinct sweet, spicy taste and a delicious aroma. It is widely used as a condiment and flavouring material in several cuisines. It is used to flavour dessert recipes, coffee, hot tea, chocolates, pickles, chutneys, liquors, etc.

Traditional Uses

Cinnamon has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used cinnamon as an embalming agent. In ayurvedic literature cinnamon is considered a warm herb and is believed to enhance the bioavailability of other ingredients. Cinnamon is traditionally believed to improve digestion, absorption and metabolism. It potentially eases evacuation of toxins and improves circulation by strengthening the heart and warming the kidneys.  The coumarin content found in cinnamon has a blood thinning effect and may be beneficial in cardiac issues. Additionally, ayurveda recommends cinnamon for respiratory concerns since anecdotal evidence suggests that it has expectorating and decongesting properties. The other vital health benefits that Cinnamon is famous for are:

  • Exhibits antioxidant actions- Cinnamon is loaded with polyphenols, which are strong natural antioxidants that help protect the body from free radical damage
  • Boosts immune mechanisms
  • Imparts cardio protective benefits
  • Regulates sugar levels in the blood
  • Protects cognitive and brain functions
  • Maintains cellular health
  • Boosts collagen and support healthy skin
  • Helps lose weight

Scientific Evidence Further Emphasizes Cinnamon’s Healthifying Nature

Several clinical studies have been conducted to identify the therapeutic potential of cinnamon. Researchers have concluded that the health benefits of cinnamon are attributed to its special phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and antioxidant constituents. These compounds make cinnamon one of the most productive spices on earth and many In vitro and In vivo studies have now suggested that cinnamon has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor, cardiovascular, cholesterol-lowering, and immunomodulatory effects. 1

Some of the conditions that Cinnamon improved in clinical trials include:

Diabetes: Clinical results indicated that daily cinnamon consumption for 40 days resulted in reducing serum glucose, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes. Another study showed that cinnamon potentially reduced insulin resistance, helping this hormone regulate sugar levels in the blood. This also highlights that cinnamon may help reduce lipids levels in the body and may be beneficial in weight loss regimens. [2, 3]

Hepatic disorders: An In vivo examination showed that cinnamon restored hepatic functions in clinical induced heptotoxicity and hepatic injury. The results obtained revealed that cinnamon has potent antioxidant activity and may be useful in the treatment of some hepatic disorders without any side effects. 4

Alzheimer’s disease (AD): Clinical observation reported that an aqueous cinnamon extract inhibited tau aggregation and filament formation, which are tell tale signs of Alzheimer’s disease. Cinnamaldehyde and proanthocyanidins isolated from cinnamon appeared to inhibit the degenerative changes associated with AD. 5

Parkinson’s disease (PD):  An In vivo examination also showed Cinnamon display nerve protective properties, help normalize neurotransmitter levels and improve motor functions. 6

Respiratory Infections: Cinnamon is traditionally believed to possess immune boosting properties and an In vitro investigation showed that cinnamaldehyde found in cinnamon possesses potent fungitoxic properties that may prove beneficial in respiratory disorders. 7

In fact results from another study indicated that cinnamaldehyde was equally effective in inhibiting the growth of various isolates of bacteria and dermatophytes. Thus, suggesting that cinnamon possesses broad-spectrum antibiotic activities. 8

Ongoing research keeps on validating the many therapeutic properties of Cinnamon that ancient populations instinctively knew and applied.

Biogetica is proud to declare that it has always championed the cause of nature and truly believes that only Nature has all the answers for the myriad of health problems we see ourselves facing today. In a bid to provide protocols that may have a significant health impact, Biogetica amalgamates the best ingredients into an easy to use kit. We have Cinnamon as a core ingredient in several of our protocols related to immunity, skin, nerves, liver, brain etc.  To know more about our health protocols, precedent-setting kits or for any health related concerns; please consult our experts at www.biogetica.com now!

Vitiligo Uncovered: Innovative Research and Treatment Options

Your skin cells have pigment molecules called melanocytes that impart color to your skin. Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder, in which these melanocytes are destroyed leading to white-colored spots, streaks, or patches appearing on different parts of the body. The areas mostly include the face, fingers, hands, wrists, body folds, and sites of injury. Mucous membranes (tissues lining the inside of the mouth and nose), the retina (inner layer of the eyeball), and areas around moles are other commonly affected sites. Normally the hair that grows on the affected patches of skin also turns white.

Vitiligo Causes

Although scientists and researchers have not yet zeroed in on any definitive cause of vitiligo; there are several theories purported as triggering factors

  • Autoimmunity: This is by far considered the most evident reason to develop Vitiligo. In this case, vitiligo patients develop antibodies that directly destroy melanocytes causing loss of pigmentation.
  • Genetic Predisposition: Another widely accepted view is that people with vitiligo inherit a three-gene group that makes them susceptible to depigmentation.
  • StressDoctors unanimously agree that overt unhealthy stress is the root cause of several diseases and could be a triggering factor for vitiligo as well.
  • Toxin accumulation: Several researchers have indicated that increased accumulation of toxins could lead to melanocyte destruction.
  • Miscellaneous factors: Some doctors also opine that skin injuries, sunburns, mental distress, and physical Illnesses could increase vitiligo susceptibility in some patients.

Vitiligo Symptoms

Vitiligo is a progressive skin disorder. In typical cases, it starts as a small spot and then extends symmetrically or randomly to cover larger areas of the skin as more pigment cells get destroyed.

The pattern of the disorder is atypical and varies in size, shape, intensity of the loss of color, and in the profile of their distribution. It may at times become a chronic skin condition or in some cases regress on its own.

Vitiligo Treatment Options

Popular Medicine declares there is no sure-shot cure for vitiligo. However, a lot of symptomatic measures are available that attempt to arrest depigmentation. Some of the popular ones include:

Corticosteroids are the first line of treatment and they are used topically, orally, or intravenously to arrest the spread of depigmentation and also restore pigmentation. Although considered to have a 75% success rate, they are not the most preferred treatment since they have non-uniform effectiveness; and long-term use may cause atrophy of the epidermis leading to skin shrinkage and the appearance of purplish-red striae. Other potential side effects include systemic absorption, glaucoma, suppression of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis, as well as Cushing’s syndrome, and growth retardation in infants and children.

Light therapy is another treatment protocol that utilizes certain wavelengths of ultraviolet light to induce melanin synthesis.

Laser Treatment involves using targeted phototherapy at a wavelength of 308 nm to induce repigmentation. It has a 50% success rate but is associated with side effects like hyperpigmentation, skin burns, and folliculitis.

Since a maladaptive immune response is one of the major reasons for vitiligo, Holistic doctors believe that an approach addressing this concern will definitely go a long way in achieving repigmentation. There is a lot of research ongoing in the field of natural medicine to unearth potential natural ingredients that may help restore the color back into your lives again.

In fact, plant remedies have seen a recent resurgence resulting from several factors, such as the effectiveness of plant medicines and lesser side effects compared with modern medicines.

Key Ingredient Highlights

  • Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia):

This is an Ayurvedic herb that is traditionally believed to help stimulate melanocytes to synthesize melanin. Studies suggest that bakuchi possesses immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective properties, which may prove valuable in treating skin conditions like vitiligo. 1

 

 

  • Katuki (Picrorhiza kurroa):

This ayurvedic herb is traditionally believed to possess natural immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties that may help modulate the immune response and improve skin health.

 

 

 

  • Acacia catechu:

This Ayurvedic herb is traditionally believed to possess active constituents that balance the energy elements in your body and has rejuvenating properties. Clinical investigation has shown that Acacia catechu is a valuable alternative in treating skin disorders like vitiligo. 2

 

 

  • Bishop’s weed (Ammi majus Linn):

This natural ingredient is traditionally believed to benefit the health of the urinary, respiratory, and dermatological systems. Clinical analysis has indicated that the seed contains furanocoumarins, which stimulate pigment production when the skin is exposed to bright sunlight. Experimental evidence showed that vitiligo cases treated with this extract promptly responded and completely recovered or greatly improved within a short span of time. 3

 

Investigations including Homeopathic ingredients like Arsenicum sulphurated flavum, Arsenicum album, Nitricum acidum, and Syphilinum showed that vitiligo patients given these classical homeopathic treatments had significant improvement in their condition. 4

These are just some of the many herbs that are successfully employed to restore skin health. Biogetica integrates traditional wisdom with research-backed evidence and formulates multidisciplinary kits with ingredients that are traditionally believed to enhance the body’s melanocyte production cycle and support the restoration of normal skin color.

Our Kits Include:

  • Ayurvedic herbs: A combination of herbal extracts like bakuchi, katuki, acacia, pippali, etc that are traditionally believed to possess natural immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties. These polyherbs potentially promote melanogenesis and melanin transfer to the skin.

In fact, a clinical trial on our pigmento formulation reported that 60% of Vitiligo patients in the initial clinical evaluation of Pigmento showed repigmentation. 5

 

  • Homeopathic Attentuations: A potentized combination of advanced bio-resonance homeopathic remedies that are traditionally believed to stimulate the body to improve melanin production, stall depigmentation and restore archetypical skin functions. 
  • Nutraceuticals: Supplements that provide essential nutrients to provide nourishment and contribute to cell and tissue regulation to restore their altered homeostasis.

Aloe Vera: The Undiscovered Health Benefits You Should Know!

Freedom digestive support with OM 9 IB formula and Aloe vera

The prickly thorns on this succulent plant may look like a cactus, but they have a lot to offer. Aloe vera was called the Plant of Immortality by ancient Egyptian texts. Aloe is used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. In modern times, Aloe vera is not only widely used in home remedies but also a booming business in the cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Over 240 species of aloe are found in the Liliaceae family. Not all aloe species have therapeutic properties. Aloe Barbadensis Miller is the most sought-after and important species. There are some species that can be poisonous. Make sure you use the right one.

Aloe vera typically grows up to 2 feet. The leaves taper from the bottom to the top and are covered with prickly growths along the length. Aloe is popular because of its gel in the middle and sap below the surface.

Aloe Vera: Nutritional Value

Aloe vera contains phytochemicals like acetylated manans, polymannans, and anthrones. These active components are believed to be responsible for the medicinal properties of Aloe vera.

Aloe vera also contains a number of vitamins, including Vitamins A, C, and E, as well as B1, B2, B3, folic acid, and B12. It also contains minerals like calcium, magnesium selenium chromium zinc iron potassium sodium manganese copper.

Aloe Vera Benefits

Aloe vera has been used commercially as an ingredient in a variety of beverages, desserts, yogurts, and food preservation. Aloe vera is used by cosmetic companies in products such as moisturizers and soaps.

Aloe is either taken orally or topically. The gel or powdered form is used. Aloe gel can be blended with water to create Aloe Juice, which is used for various ailments. Aloe has many potential health benefits.

  1. Skin Functioning: Improved skin function
  2. Skin Rejuvenation and Nourishing
  3. Improve digestion and metabolic rate
  4. Hair growth and scalp nourishment
  5. Maintaining pH balance in the scalp
  6. Improve digestion and reduce heartburn
  7. Improved digestion of fats
  8. Maintaining oral health
  9. Building Immunity
  10. Detoxifying your body
  11. Skin irritation was soothed, skin elasticity restored and scars cleared

Clinical Evidence for Aloe Health Properties

Aloe Vera has been proven to be effective in treating a variety of medical conditions that affect the metabolism, skin, and hair. Growing research is allowing for the use of aloe vera as a treatment option for a number of conditions that affect the liver, skin, and hair. Researchers have also highlighted the role of aloe vera in treating stomach disorders, cholesterol, and diabetes, as well as skin complaints, hair loss, inflammatory conditions, and cancer.

Some of the Research Conducted Includes

 

GI disorders: An In Vivo study indicated that Aloe exhibited gastroprotective activities and inhibited gastric acid secretion thereby protecting the mucosal lining from injury. Another study result showed that Aloe vera may reduce abdominal pain as well as flatulence in patients with constipation-predominated IBS. [1, 2]

Hair and Scalp Issues: Aloe vera is considered to possess emollient properties and is routinely used in shampoos and conditioners for healthy hair and scalp. It contains proteolytic enzymes that are known to repair dead skin cells on the scalp. A randomized double-blinded trial on seborrheic dermatitis patients reported that the patients on treatment with aloe extract had a significant decrease in scaliness, pruritus, and the number of sites involved in seborrheic dermatitis. 3

Psoriasis and other Skin Concerns: Aloe possesses vital nutrients that help nourish and hydrate your skin.  In a clinical set up 83.3% of psoriatic patients were considered healed after topically applying an aloe cream for 16 weeks with 12 months of monthly follow-ups. No side effects were reported either.  Several studies have indicated that Aloe possesses anti-inflammatory properties and an In Vivo investigation showed that Aloe helped heal wounds faster. In burn injuries, A. vera caused 82% to 85% of tissue healing and similar results were found when Aloe was used on electrical injury, frostbite, and intra-arterial drug abuse. [4, 5]

Hyperlipidemia: Aloe vera also seems to be a popular health supplement for weight loss. Oral administration of Aloe vera juice, twice a day for at least 2 weeks in patients with diabetes got their blood sugar and triglyceride levels considerably reduced. 6

Hyperglycemia: Growing research has highlighted that Aloe can considerably control sugar levels in the blood. Clinical evidence suggests that oral administration of aloe vera might be effective in reducing blood glucose in diabetic patients. 7

Infections: Aloe vera is traditionally believed to possess immune-boosting and antioxidant properties. Phytochemical investigations have suggested that acemannan, a component of Aloe vera gel, may possess immune-stimulating and anti-microbial activities. Clinical studies have shown that Aloe contains anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties and could be used in the treatment of various infections including skin-transmitted infections. 8

Dental Issues: Aloe is also used to preserve dental health. A  Clinical study to assess the effectiveness of Aloe vera in maintaining oral hygiene found the extract considerably successful in reducing dental plaque. 9

Aloe vera is a miracle plant because it has so many health benefits. You’ll see a lot of products on the market that include Aloe. Biogetica has a different protocol than other products because we are meticulous in ensuring that we use the best quality aloe vera available on the market. Our plants are cultivated according to Siddha agricultural principles, which include planting and harvesting in precise accordance with the moon cycle and feeding them energized structured aqueous. Our aloe vera is enriched with bioactive.

Antibiotics vs. Gardnerella: The Real Truth Unveiled

Just like your Gut, your vagina nurtures its own ecosystem and similar to the different types of people you encounter in your global system; the vagina has its own share of good and bad bacteria. Normally, the Lactobacillus family constitutes the good bacteria, which lives harmlessly in the vagina and produces chemicals that keep the vagina mildly acidic. On the other hand, the gardnerella strains are the bad guys that cause infections and unpleasant symptoms associated with bacterial vaginosis.  In ideal acidic PH situations, the different types of bacteria live harmoniously; however, when the vaginal PH becomes alkaline, it results in the gardnerella strain becoming more powerful and proliferating rapidly.

Causes of Gardnerella

The most common causes of a gardnerella infection are:

  • Sexual intercourse with multiple partners or an infected person
  • Unprotected sex, since semen is  highly alkaline and the vagina has to combat that to maintain its acidity levels
  • Sexually  inactive women could also become vulnerable if  there is spontaneous change in their vaginal PH ( often caused by diet, hormonal levels, health conditions etc)
  • Transmission of infection through douches, towels and wet swimsuits
  • Vitamin and mineral deficiencies such as low iron and zinc levels
  • Use of contraceptive devices like IUD’s
  • Immune compromised patients
  • Stress and lack of proper sleep can lead to imbalances in the body’s homeostasis
  • Pregnancy and childbirth
  • Wearing ill fitting undergarments and tight clothes. Synthetic materials are not good at absorbing moisture and could aggravate conditions.  Snug fitting cotton undergarments help keep the area dry and oxygenated
  • Lack of hygiene could be another causative factor

Symptoms of a Gardnerella Infection

The signs typically include:

  • Unpleasant fishy  vaginal odor
  • Abnormal vaginal discharge- the discharge can be white (milky), chunky resembling cheese, gray and thin
  • Vaginal Inflammation
  • Itching, burning, and irritation in the vaginal area
  • Burning when urinating
  • Painful intercourse

Although, it is important to note that these symptoms could be related to another infection too and some women with the infection could remain asymptomatic as well.

Treatment Options for Gardnerella

The treatment of choice for Gardnerella vaginalis is oral metronidazole, 500 mg twice daily for 6 days. Other Antibiotics like Cephradine and Clindamycin may also be used for the treatment. All women with symptoms of bacterial vaginosis should be tested. Some physicians also recommend that women undergoing certain gynecological procedures should be tested and treated for bacterial vaginosis, even if symptoms are not present. This is because bacterial vaginosis has been associated with the development of pelvic inflammatory disease and other infections after procedures like endometrial biopsy, surgical abortion, hysterectomy, intrauterine device placement, caesarean section and uterine curettage.

Are Antibiotics Safe?

There is no doubt that antibiotics like metronidazole, Cephradine and Clindamycin have become the go- to treatment for Gardenerella vaginalis. However, these drugs have its fair share of risks. The most commonly experienced are:

  • Stomach pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Dizziness
  • Loss of balance
  • Vaginal itching or discharge
  • Dry mouth or unpleasant metallic taste
  • Cough
  • Sneezing, runny or stuffy nose
  • Swollen or sore tongue

The other deterrent factor is that microorganisms have the tendency to mutate into antibiotic resistant strains that no longer respond to antibiotics. Thus, treating with antibiotics is not always fruitful.

Natural Alternatives for Gardnerella vaginalis

Holistic doctors understand that if you want to combat any foreign invasion successfully, you need to be armed with a robust immune system. So, alternative therapies like ayurveda and homeopathy resort to targeting the underlying cause of any clinical manifestation to unearth the root cause of the problem. Traditional medicine has come a long way and several natural ingredients have been clinically verified for their potential benefits. Ingredients like Rubia cordifolia, Withania Somnifera, Eupatorium perfoliatum, Allium cepa, Sapindus laurifolia Vahl,Allium sativum etc  are traditionally believed to possess immune boosting properties and are often used in alternative medicine to combat infections.

In fact, a clinical study highlighted that:

All the patients infected with Gardnerella vaginalis and advised a polyherbal solution intravaginally and over the vulva, twice daily for 2 weeks had full and effective relief from itching and abnormal vaginal discharge on completion of the protocol. 1

Some key Ingredient highlights with Clinical evidence:

  1. Sapindus laurifolia Vahl:

Also known as soap nut, this herb is popularly used in traditional remedies for promoting healthy skin and hair. A clinical investigation showed that an aqueous and ethanol extract of soap nut exhibited good antibacterial activity against the gardnerella strain. 2

 

 

  1. Saraca indica:

This ayurvedic herb is traditionally believed to possess detoxifying, immune boosting, and energizing properties. A clinical evaluation of a polyherbal extract containing Saraca indica showed significant antimicrobial activity against the tested microorganisms including the gardnerella strains. 3

 

 

  1. Symplocos racemosa:

This is a very important ayurvedic herb and is traditionally used to maintain healthy eyes, skin, and vagina. A polyherbal extract including Symplocos racemosa displayed potent antimicrobial activities against bacterial strains like Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Gardnerella vaginalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 4

 

 

Biogetica focuses and strives to spotlight these natural remedies because it truly believes in the healing powers of nature. We have integrated the above listed natural remedies with other evidence-based ingredients .Our formulations are available as single remedies or in combinations like Biogetica’s Freedom Kit with OM 24 Formula and Biogetica’s Essentials Kit with C5 Inflammease Formula for comprehensive and holistic care.

The Incredible Health Secrets of Red Clover

You may have known this plant by other names like Clovone, Cow Clover, Meadow Clover, Purple Clover, Trifolium pratense, Wild Clover, Beebread etc. However, Red clover as it is popularly known is not only pleasant to see, but similar, to the various names it owns has versatile beneficial properties that practitioners of traditional medicine recognize and promote.

Phytochemical Significance of Red Clover

Red clover is considered an abundant resource of isoflavones, which also attributes to the many health benefiting properties that Red Clover is believed to possess.  Isoflavones are water-soluble chemicals that exert an estrogen like effect. The other nutrients found in Red clover are calcium, magnesium, chromium, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B3, Vitamin C, phosphorus and potassium.

Traditional Uses of Red Clover

Red clover is a multipurpose plant; as a fodder crop, the plant benefits the soil by fixing nitrogen levels, thereby improving soil fertility. On the other hand, due to its high phytoestrogen constituents, it is traditionally employed in rejuvenating several organ systems of the body.

Red Clover Health Benefits Potentially Include:

  • Regulating the female endocrine system
  • Detoxifying and flushing toxins from the body
  • Enhancing the immune system
  • Benefiting the body’s bones and improving joint flexibility
  • Improving cardiovascular and arterial health
  • Maintaining healthy organ systems including the lungs, digestive organs and blood

Scientific Evidence has Also Thrown Light on the Possible Therapeutic Effects of Red clover

Various clinical studies have been conducted to identify the therapeutic proficiency of Red clover and growing research has opened the possibility of using red clover in managing several medical conditions affecting the skin, respiratory organs, immune system, female reproductive system, bones and heart.

Some of the studies conducted on Red Clover for clinical conditions are:

  • Menopause: Studies suggest that red clover may be helpful in managing hot flushes and other symptoms related to menopause because of their phytoestrogenic  content. [1, 2]
  • Heart health: A clinical assessment indicated that red clover may improve arterial compliance and cardiovascular health. 3
  • Bone strength: An In vivo study showed that red clover may help strengthen the bone structure of the body. 4
  • Skin:  A Clinical evaluation of lab subjects treated with red clover isoflavones for 14 weeks reported   that the plant extract improved skin cell structure. The amount of collagen was also significantly increased. Thus, the results indicated that red clover may possess natural anti-ageing and skin rejuventating properties. 5
  • Menstruation: Studies suggest that red clover possesses phytoestrogens that may help  balance the estrogen levels, reduce PMS  symptoms, and protect the endometrium from abnormal cell proliferation . [6, 7, 8]
  • Immune system: Research suggest that red clover possesses natural anti-oxidants that help in scavenging free radicals, eliminating toxins and boosting the immune system. 9

Javita vs. Biogetica: Choosing the Best Weight Loss Companion

Everyone is aware that excess calories are stored as fat in the body. You’re termed obese when the body’s fat deposits exceed to a point where they become detrimental to your health. Obesity can be defined by Body Mass Index (BMI), fat distribution via the waist–hip ratio and total cardiovascular risk factors. BMI is closely related to both percentage body fat and total body fat.

BMI Classification:

Normal = 18-24

Overweight= 25-30

Obese= above 30

 

There are many factors that contribute to being overweight which include:

  • Overeating and a sedentary lifestyle.
  • Genetic predisposition or hormonal imbalances.
  • Obesity or overweight could be secondary to an underlying problem. For example, a hyperacidity patient may binge on food or indulge in gluttony because his abdominal pain is better after eating. A person with bulimia (an eating disorder) may feel the urge to hog, in an attempt to regain mental poise.
  • Food addictions
  • Sluggish metabolisms
  • Incorrect diet
  • Imbalances in the 5 elements

Effects of Obesity on health

Obesity is considered to reduce the life expectancy as it is generally associated with various diseases like hypothyroidism, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis and asthma.

This is the reason why maintaining a healthy weight is so important and  there are several protocols available in the market that claim to shed your pounds and help you become lean and slim again. However, they rarely live up to the hype and all you lose is your hard earned money.

But of course, there are certain protocols that do strive to address the problem. So, rather than latching onto any new weight loss gimmick that trends the market, take some time to choose the best option. Let’s review 2 protocols for Weight loss and see which one emerges a winner.

The first product is the Javita Weight loss Coffee; this is a metabolism boosting drink and contains coffee, yerba mate and garcinia cambogia as its core ingredients.

The second protocol is Biogetica’s Digestion and Metabolism Boosting Products that are traditionally believed to work by improving metabolic and digestive processes. In fact each kit is designed to target specific root causes that could lead to weight gain.

Let’s compare the characteristics of both these protocols for a better understanding.

Javita Weight loss Coffee Biogetica’s Digestion and Metabolism Boosting Products
As the name suggests, Javita Weight loss Coffee is coffee powder blended with herbs-Yerba mate and Garcinia cambogia. Biogetica’s Digestion and Metabolism Boosting Kits consist of:

  • Standardized herbs that are traditionally believed to possess thermogenic agents that affect the body’s metabolism and increase its ability to burn fat.
  • Resonance Homeopathic and modern Bio-energetic ingredients that are traditionally believed to help normalize metabolism in obese patients and exert a slimming effect.
  • Nutritional ingredients that potentially help to improve the nutritional state, fitness and normal metabolic system functions.
Javita weight loss coffee is supposed to work by:

  • Balancing PH levels
  • Providing Energy
  • Oxygenating the body
  • Supporting the Immune system
  • Increasing Stamina
  • Detoxifying the body
Biogetica’s Digestion and Metabolism boosting kit contains natural ingredients that are traditionally believed to work by:

  • Re-elementing the gut with good flora and bacteria so that you can break down food efficiently
  • Preventing absorption and accumulation of fat
  • Increasing Body Metabolism
  • Regulating appetite to diminish excess food cravings
  • Inhibiting excessive fat accumulation
  • Exhibiting fat burn by increased fat oxidation
  • Improving lipid profile and increasing metabolic rate
It has been observed that Javita weight loss coffee has various side effects including:

  • dizziness
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • stomach ache
  • headaches
  • dehydration
  • mood swings
  • tremors
  • sweating
  • fatigue
  • constipation
  • aching muscles
  • indigestion
  • anxiety
  • difficulty concentrating and insomnia

Moreover, customers mention they experienced no change; this makes it hard to accept it as a weight loss product.

Biogetica’s kits combine Ayurvedic herbs, nutraceuticals and homeopathic attenuations that are safe and have no known side effects or contraindications. Moreover,  the ingredients used to formulated the blends have scientific evidence backing them.

Some of the research studies conducted are:

The homeopathic remedy ASSISTTM helped patients experience an average Weight loss of 22.67 lbs in 40 days in the trials conducted at the Kissinger Wellness Institute in MO, USA. The amount of weight loss ranged from 11 lbs to 38.5 lbs and thus individual results may vary.

Numerous studies on Irvingia gabonensis , Red Raspberry Ketones  Green Coffee Bean Extract  and Cissus Quadrangularis  have indicated their effectiveness in weight loss. These ingredients are combined in one capsule- Weight OFF RIG.*

Javita weight loss coffee is just a health drink that provides instant energy for a temporary period of time. They have a direct marketing strategy, so one has to know one of the workers that represent the company in order to purchase the Javita products. This also makes it difficult to receive a standard rate as some may offer different prices.  Biogetica is an informational website with a team of experienced doctors available 24/7 for free consultations. You are only charged for the kits you purchase with a special discount provision for those unable to pay the full price. Moreover, you can customize the kits depending on your health status and get personalized kits targeting your specific condition.
 Javita only honors returns within 30 days of purchase.  There is an unconditional 90 days money back guarantee if the products don’t meet your expectations.

So, based on real customer reviews Javita has failed to elicit any clinically evident weight loss benefit and a lot of people have complained about the side effects they witnessed. On, the other hand Biogetica’s Digestion and Metabolism Boosting Products are a blend of natural ingredients backed with clinical proof showing it helps jump start metabolism and speed up fat loss. Moreover, no side effects or customer concerns have been reported. The ingredients in the Digestion and Metabolism Boosting Products include:

Ayurvedic herbs: A combination of herbal extracts like ginger, turmeric, amla, fenugreek,  cinnamon, garcinia  etc that are traditionally believed to promote oxidation of fats and maintain proper functioning of the Digestive system.

Homeopathic Attentuations: Potentized impressions of organ systems like Thyroid, Adrenal, Pituitary, Thymus, and Spleen that are traditionally believed to stimulate the corresponding organ system and help stabilize the endocrine axis between the hypothalamus, pituitary and the thyroid glands.

Nutraceuticals: Supplements that provide essential nutrients that provide nourishment and promote fitness and support the normal metabolic system functions.

Our popular products for Weight loss include:

This herb is commonly known as fenugreek and belongs to the family Leguminosae.  Growing research on this natural ingredient has highlighted its antidiabetic, hypocholesterolemic, antioxidative, digestion stimulative, and hepatoprotective benefits. 5

 

 

  1. Curcuma longa:

Also called turmeric and used as a kitchen spice, this rhizome has many versatile properties including  fighting free radicals, empowering the immune functions, protecting the liver, detoxifying the body, rejuvenating the liver, strengthening the nerves and stimulating the digestive processes.

Cosentyx vs. Biogetica: Skin Immune Kit

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a common autoimmune disorder that affects your skin. The condition is chronic and manifested as red, itchy, dry patches with thick silvery scales on it. It occurs when your immune system disrupts the life cycle of the skin cells leading to a rapid buildup of new skin cells on the surface before the body has shed the old ones. Although, the medical fraternity has not been able to pin point the exact trigger for this condition, it has been hypothesized that stress, genetics, environmental factors, infections, certain medications, etc could bring on a psoriatic attack.

Can Psoriasis be Cured?

Dermatologists declare there is currently no cure for psoriasis, although it can be controlled or managed to improve the patient’s quality of living.

On the other hand, health practitioners of traditional medicines opine that treating the root cause of a particular condition can help bring the body back into harmonious balance and health.

In this article, we will compare two different protocols- Cosentyx and Biogetica’s Immune (Skin) support kit and learn what mechanism of action each uses to support skin health.

Cosentyx (secukinumab) is an immune suppressant injection that reduces the effects of a chemical substance that may be responsible for producing inflammation in the body. It is a conventional medicine recommended for psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. It is injected under the skin.

Biogetica’s Immune (Skin) support kit on the other hand, is a blend of Ayurvedic herbs, Resonance Homeopathic and modern Bio-energetic ingredients. The natural ingredients work synergistically and regulate the immune system to promote natural healing of the skin.

Biogetica Freedom Kit with PSORAease Formula

Let’s look at what each has to offer:

Cosentyx Biogetica Immune (Skin) Support Kit
Cosentyx is the brand name and Secukinumab is the drug that is used for treating the condition. Secukinumab is classed as a ‘biological’ drug because it has been formulated to mimic normal human molecules. Cosentyx is indicated in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriatic arthritis in adults. Biogetica’s Immune (Skin) support kit consist of natural ingredients that include:

  • Standardized herbs that are traditionally believed to possess rejuvenative and detoxifying properties.
  • Resonance Homeopathic and modern Bio-energetic ingredients that are traditionally believed to provide sarcode support to optimize the structure and functions of the skin and regulate immunity.
  • Nutritional ingredients that potentially help nourish target organs by providing micronutrients like bio-available vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
The active constituent – Secukinumab works by blocking the activity of the substances that affect interactions and communications between cells (cytokine-interleukin-17a). This protein molecule- interleukin-17a (IL-17a) is considerably high in psoriatic plaques and drives inflammation in the skin, leading to reddening, thickening and flaking. So, Secukinumab initiates relief by blocking (IL-17a). The ingredients in the Immune Support kit do not target a specific inflammatory mechanism. They  are traditionally believed to work in the following manner:

  • Regulate the immune system to make it  less responsive to triggering factors
  • Reduce itching
  • Soothe and support the structure and functions of the skin
  • Hydrate, nourish  and normalize the skin’s surface
  • Cleanse the Liver
It is contraindicated in immunocompromized patients and patients with recent infections, IBS, crohn’s disease, allergies and tuberculosis. Also, patients treated with Cosentyx should not receive live vaccines. Biogetica products are designed to work on the tangible and the subtle layers of the human system. They are traditionally believed to address the root causes of the issue at the physical, energetic, mental, and emotional levels in order to harmonize the functioning of various body systems. Hence, they are safe to use in patients with other coexisting ailments albeit under medical supervision.
Cosentyx produces a number of side-effects, which include:

  • redness
  • warmth and swelling under the skin
  • painful skin sores
  • cough
  • diarrhea
  • stomach pain
  • chills
  • fever, etc.
All the ingredients used in the natural protocols are safe without any known side effects. Moreover, they are formulated to ensure that the end result of the kits is beyond that of any single ingredient in them. They are also sometimes recommended as an adjunct to other treatments.
Some drugs may interact with it including prescription and over the counter medicines as well as nutritional supplements. Your health care provider has to screen your health status to rule out the adverse reactions of other drugs. Biogetica’s natural protocol has no known contraindications. You can safely take these products with other medications. However, you may at an individual level be sensitive to a particular natural ingredient. Therefore, it is imperative to consult a specialist before starting any regimen.
Cosentyx is an injectible that is injected under your skin with no topical or oral options for relief  available. Biogetica’s kit is a blend of oral medications as well as a topical ointment.
Cosentyx is a prescription medicine available through your healthcare provider. There is a limited network of specialty pharmacies that supply Cosentyx. So, you not only pay for the product you pay for the health care consult fees as well. Biogetica is an informational website with a team of experienced doctors available 24/7 for free consultations. You’re only charged for the kits you purchase with a special provision of discounts for those unable to pay the full price.
There is no provision to return the purchased product if dissatisfied. You have an unconditional 90 days money back guarantee if the products don’t meet your expectations.

So, although, Cosentyx has been approved by the FDA for treating mild to moderate psoriasis, and more recently for Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and active psoriatic arthritis (PsA); this drug has shown that patients may have a relapse on Treatment Pause. This means that you may have to take Cosentyx for a long time as it provides only symptomatic relief and the condition may resurface if you halt the protocol. On the other hand, if you continue the medication, you compromise on your immunity substantially since secukinumab is an immunosuppressant, which retards your immune system making you more vulnerable to other infections.

Whereas, based on circumstantial evidence, Biogetica’s Immune (Skin) Support Kit is traditionally believed to be safe, effective and potentially helps rejuvenate your skin, modulate your immunity, and relieve your psoriatic affectations to bring a natural glow on your skin. The ingredients in the kits include:

Ayurvedic herbs: Herbal extracts that are traditionally believed to possess anti-oxidant and rejuvenative properties. They potentially balance the immune system by detoxifying and purifying the blood.

Homeopathic Attentuations: Potentized impressions of the Thymus, red bone marrow and interferon that are traditionally believed to provide specific sarcode support to the skin.

Nutraceuticals: Supplements that provide essential nutrients that potentially nourish the skin and make it healthy.

In fact, a clinical study conducted on Imupsora( products in our kit) showed that “84% of psoriasis patients given Imuspora Tablets and Ointment showed a statistically significant response in their condition after a 3 month trial. 1

Key Ingredient Highlights:

  • Rubia cordifolia

This herb is traditionally used to promote healthy skin. Several clinical investigations suggest that Rubia Cordifolia possesses immune regulating properties and this herb works very well both internally and externally to rejuvenate the skin, heal damaged skin cells and improve its functionality.

 

 

  • Picrorhiza kurroa

The herb is considered a potent remedy in traditional medicine. It is traditionally believed to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The herb’s active constituents may prevent liver toxicity and help rejuvenate the liver.

In Vivo studies have shown Picrorhiza raising depleted glutathione levels boosting detoxification and antioxidation. Other clinical investigations have suggested that Picrorhiza kurroa may prove helpful as a remedy for a number of auto-immune diseases such as vitiligo and psoriasis.

These are just some of the many herbs available in nature’s reserves that may help regulate immunity and support the structure and functions of the skin.

Biogetica has integrated the above listed natural remedies with other evidence-based ingredients amalgamating nutritional supplements, herbal extracts, and bioenergetic homeopathic remedies. They are available as single remedies or in combinations like the Biogetica Freedom Kit with PSORAease Formula and Biogetica Optimal Kit with T27 Skin Liquescence, where different ingredients work synergistically to provide the freedom you seek.

At Biogetica, ancient and new approaches are woven together to target root issues on the physical, energetic, mental and emotional planes of human existence and help you heal. Our protocols are formulated to potentially balance the maladaptive immune responses, eliminate toxins, and protect, normalize, and hydrate the skin’s surface.

Lipogaine vs Biogetica: Hair Loss Battle

Your hair is a very important part of your personality. Hair adds personality to your face, making you more attractive and appealing.

You may panic when you lose your hair, and your stress level will increase. This spirals you into a vicious cycle. The more you stress, the more you upset your body’s harmony.

It is true that there are many products on the market that play to human psychology and promise that they will help you achieve your shiny tresses in no time. They rarely deliver on their promises and you end up wasting your money and gaining more hair.

There are protocols that aim to solve the problem. Instead of losing your hair at the thought that you are experiencing a receding hairline, let’s examine 2 Hair Loss Protocols and determine which one is most effective.

Hair Loss: Causes, Types, and Treatment

Hair loss can affect both men and women and be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Scalp Infections
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Certain medicines can cause side effects

The pattern of hair fall is different in men and women. Androgenic Alopecia is more common in men. The pattern is usually an “M-shaped” pattern that starts at the hairline and moves slowly backward. The baldness in females usually begins at the crown and spreads to the rest of the body. Other types of hair loss include –

  • Alopecia Areata (Patchy Hair Loss) – when one or two completely smooth patches without hair appear on your scalp.
  • Tinea Capitis is a fungal scalp infection that affects teens. The infection can affect the whole scalp or just a part. The infected scalp causes hair to fall out.

Compare the two hair rejuvenation products that are currently popular.

The first product, Lipogaine- a minoxidil preparation is said to work by reducing the DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) levels and stimulating hair growth cells. The products are available as shampoos and lotions only for topical application.

Biogetica Hair Loss Products is the second product reviewed. It contains a combination of Ayurvedic herbal ingredients, modern Bio-energetic, and Resonance homeopathic ingredients. These natural ingredients are synergistic and work together to address the root causes of hair loss, promoting healthy hair follicles that result in hair growth.

Biogetica’s Hair Loss Kits

The differences between the two protocols are tabulated as follows –

Lipogaine Biogetica’s Hair Loss Products
Lipogaine is a mixture of 2-5% minoxidal and natural DHT blockers such as saw palmetto (beta-sitosterol), oleic, linol,enic, and acetinol. Biogetica’s hair loss kits consist of:

  • Standardized plant extracts are believed to support the structure and function of hair follicles and rejuvenate organ systems.
  • Resonance homeopathic and modern bio-energetic components have been traditionally believed to provide information about healthy organ functions and promote endocrine equilibrium in the body to stop hair loss and help promote endocrine harmony.
  • Ingredients that provide micronutrients such as bio-available minerals, vitamins, and amino acids.
Lipogaine is a topical application that works by reducing the DHT (Dihydrotestesterone) levels and stimulating hair growth cells. The natural ingredients in the kit work by:

  • Regenerating cells
  • Strengthening hair follicles
  • Improve blood circulation
  • Maintaining the proper electrolyte equilibrium within the circulatory System
  • Instructing the immune system on how to protect hair
  • Imprinting the body’s hair follicles with healthy energy will help it adapt to their production.
Lipogaine contains Minoxidil, which is a vasodilator. This medication should not be used to treat sudden/patchy loss of hair, hair loss that is unexplained (e.g. no family history), or hair fall after childbirth.

Patients aged 18 and younger are also not recommended to take this medication.

Biogetica has created full spectrum kits to tackle the root cause of the problem. Natural protocols are designed to improve patient health as a whole, rather than focusing only on one issue. These protocols are also safe for teens.
Lipogaine can cause irritation, itching, and dryness to the scalp. It contains alcohol so you should avoid getting it into your eyes. The natural protocol uses products that are completely safe and without side effects. They are also formulated so that the final result is far superior to any one ingredient.
Lipogaine should only be applied topically to the scalp. Biogetica’s Hair Loss Protocols include oral and topical remedies.
Lipogaine temporarily increases hair growth for most people. Once you stop taking Lipogaine the hair will stop. Biogetica is a holistic solution, so the results are not diminished once the protocol has been completed.
Lipogaine contains the same ingredients as those listed above. Normally, it’s 5% Minoxidil (for men) and 2% Minoxidil (for women). Biogetica offers different kits depending on the cause of the issue. All of the kits contain natural ingredients, including homeopathic, herbal, and nutritional supplements.
Lipogaine can be purchased online from the official website without a prescription. However, you won’t receive any medical help or expert consultation. Biogetica offers a free online consultation with an experienced team of doctors. Only the kits that you buy are charged, with a discount for those who cannot pay the full price. You can also customize the kits based on your health condition and receive personalized kits that target your specific condition.

 

Thus, although minoxidil is an FDA-approved drug for hair loss, it is not a comprehensive remedy that treats all reasons for hair loss.

On the other hand, Biogetica has several kits for Hair Rejuvenation.  Some of the kits are:

  1. Biogetica’s Freedom Kit with OM 12 Hair Formula
  2. Biogetica’s Optimal Kit with T4 Alopecia Formula
  3. Biogetica’s Essential Kit with X 12 Alopecia Formula
  4. Biogetica’s Optimal Hair Rejuvenation Kit (With Roller)

Ingredients in the kit include

Homeopathic Attenuations: Potentized Impressions of Hair, Hair Follicles, Sebaceous Glands, Glandular Tissues, and Thyroid, which are believed to have a specific sarcode to optimize follicular development.

Nutraceuticals Supplements provide essential nutrients and may improve the energy and nutritional state of the human body. They also contribute to the health of the endocrine system.

Herbal extracts: Plant Stem Cells from Argan Trees, Swiss Apple Trees, and Pea Plant Extracts along with Nano Lipobelle Coenzyme Q10 which invigorates the hair follicles and stimulates hair growth to prevent greying.

A study on hair follicles that were treated with stem cell culture revealed that the hair continued to grow even after 14 days, while untreated follicles began to shrink.

Biogetica takes great care when formulating blends that include nutritional supplements, herbal extracts, and bioenergetic remedies. Our Doctors are dedicated to offering wholesome, integrated, and holistic natural solutions to lead you to the freedom and ease you desire. For more information about our protocols, please visit www.biogetica.com or consult our team of specialists available 24/7.

Epley Maneuver vs. Biogetica: Who Wins the Balance Battle?

A vestibular or nervous system imbalance can cause vertigo.

There are Two Types of Vertigo

  • Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), is the most common type of vertigo. It occurs when your head suddenly moves.
  • Vertigo Postural: This dizzy spell occurs when the body suddenly moves from a seated position or lying to a standing one.

Let’s take a look at two protocols and see what they have to offer.

    1. The Epley maneuver is also known as the Canalith Repositioning manoeuvre (CRP). A set of head movements are used to remove the crystal debris in the inner ear.
    2. Biogetica on the other has customized Circulatory Support, Cerebellum Support, and Ear Support Kits that are traditionally believed to improve the structure and function of the ear. These kits also correct inner ear imbalances.

Biogetica Freedom Kit with OM10 VRT Formula

It is estimated that the Epley maneuver takes 15 minutes to perform and is effective 75% of the time. While it may provide temporary relief and relieve symptoms, it doesn’t prevent recurrences. In order to get lasting relief it is necessary to correct imbalances within the nervous system, hormonal systems, and the body balance.

Compare these two protocols’ features to get a better idea.

Epley Maneuver Biogetica’s Cerebellum Support, Ear, and Circulatory Products
Epley Maneuver is, as its name suggests, a series of different head and/or body positions, exercises, or activities recommended for Vertigo. The Biogetica Cerebellum Ear and Circulatory Kits include:

  • Herbs have been standardized and are believed to be able to rejuvenate organs, regulate blood circulation, and improve the quality of life.
  • Resonance Homeopathic ingredients and modern bio-energetics are believed to be able to support the structure and function of the ear and relieve dizziness while rejuvenating your nerves and improving their functionality.
  • Ingredients that provide micronutrients such as bio-available minerals, vitamins, and amino acids.
The benign paroxysmal condition of vertigo can be caused by tiny deposits in the semicircular canals. The Epley Maneuver is an organized series of movements performed to prevent crystal debris, which causes vertigo, from entering the sensitive inner ears. The Cerebellum, Ear, and Circulatory Support Kit from Biogetica contains natural ingredients that have been traditionally used to:

  • Correct the imbalances of the inner and outer ear, and support their structure.
  • Optimize nerve function by balancing the central nervous system with the peripheral nervous systems
  • Blood circulation
  • Maintaining an optimal level of vitamins and neurohormones in your blood will restore a feeling of balance.
The Epley maneuver can temporarily relieve symptoms. The Epley Maneuver is not able to prevent a recurrence. The full spectrum kit from Biogetica aims to identify the root cause of the problem and treat it at its source. The natural protocol aims to improve the health of the patient in its entirety, rather than focusing only on one issue.
Epley Maneuvers should not be performed by those who have severe vertigo, cervical spine problems, or both. Biogetica’s kits are a combination of Ayurvedic herbal extracts, nutraceuticals, and homeopathic attenuations. They are all safe and do not have any known side effects. They can be taken safely with conventional medicine and are often recommended as an addition to other treatments.
Epley Maneuver is a set of activities. It is used to move the ear stone into a more sensitive area of your ear. This medication does not treat any accompanying symptoms or prevent future episodes. It may be necessary to take other medicines in order to treat any clinical manifestations that occur concurrently. These exercises must be done under medical supervision. This routine will require you to consult a physician each time. Both the protocol and consultation are included in the price. Biogetica offers a free online consultation with an experienced team of doctors. Only the kits that you buy are charged, with a discount for those who cannot pay the full price. You can also customize the kits based on your health condition and receive personalized kits that target your specific condition.
Epley Maneuver cannot be refunded if it doesn’t work. If the product does not meet your expectations, you can get a full refund within 90 days.

 

The kits contain the following ingredients:

  • Ayurvedic herbs A mixture of herbal products believed to improve circulation and rejuvenate the ear, nerve function and acoustic functions.
  • Attention Homeopathic: Potentized impressions of the Auditory Nerve (auditory), Cerebral Cortex (auditory), Crannial Nerve 8, (auditory), and Eustachian tube that are believed to support target organs using specific sarcodes. It reminds them of optimal functions.
  • Nutritional Supplements: Supplements that provide essential nutrients, nourish nerves, and improve nutritional and energy status in the body.

Some Key Ingredient Highlights

Turmeric: Curcumin, the curcumin component in turmeric, is an important ingredient used to make Ayurvedic medicine. It has antioxidant, immune-boosting, and protective properties. This can help to cleanse the body and rejuvenate organ systems.

HoloRam Cardivas contains Curcuma longa as well as other natural ingredients.

Emblica Officinalis is an Ayurvedic herb that improves organ function and boosts immunity.

HoloRam Cardivas contain Emblica Officinalis as well as other natural ingredients that are believed to improve the health of circulatory systems.

Conium is a homeopathic remedy derived from hemlock that can be used to treat vertigo and respiratory or eye problems.

The Formula from Biogetica is a powerful, bio-available combination of Conium with other homeopathic ingredients.

Spirulina: The Superfood with 10 Spectacular Benefits

Imagine eating pond scum and being healthy at the same time? Bizarre, right? Anyone with a sane mind would not eat anything that looks like moss.

The irony of it all is that this scruff-like green alga that grows in lakes, rivers, and ponds is the most sought-after nutritional supplement. Spirulina is a blue-green algae that has been praised for its many health benefits.

Spirulina is a great product that lives up to its hype.

Let’s jump right into What is Spirulina about?

Spirulina, a spiral-shaped multi-celled Cynaobacteria without a true nucleus, is a cyanobacterium that has no nucleus. Spirulina is also known as blue-green alga and its main active component, phycocyanin, is what gives it that characteristic blue-green color.

Spirulina, like plants and algae, uses photosynthesis to create energy from sunlight. It can grow up to 100x larger than chlorella when grown in mild climates with plenty of sunlight.

What are the health benefits of Spirulina?

Spirulina is one of the best nutritional supplements in the world when it has been properly extracted and processed. The UN has recommended that Spirulina tablets be included in food to combat malnutrition. 1

Spirulina’s nutritional value is based on:

  1. Superhero Protein: Spirulina is one of the best sources of protein. It contains the most bio-available proteins (65-71 percent by weight), and it’s between 85-95% digestible. It’s a complete, or balanced, protein. This means it contains all eight essential amino acids, as well as the essential fatty acids EPA & DHA and gamma-linolenic (GLA).
    As you may know, proteins are essential for the health of muscles and bones. Amino acids are essential to the body for many functions, including cell metabolism, detoxification, and tissue regeneration. Spirulina is also essential for the proper functioning and health of the nervous system, cardiovascular system, and hormone production.
  2. Mineral and Vitamin Powerhouse: Spirulina contains a lot of minerals and vitamins, including iron, potassium, and chromium. It also has magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus. All of these micronutrients play a vital role in the proper functioning of the human body.
  3. Antioxidant Power: Spirulina contains a high amount of antioxidants that are rarely found in other natural sources. The antioxidant component of spirulina is attributed primarily to the pigment phycocyanin. This pigment gives spirulina its color and helps it fight free radicals. Researchers have also suggested that phycocyanin could help repair and rejuvenate damaged cells in your body.

Health Benefits of Spirulina

Spirulina contains chlorophyll, and because it’s loaded with nutrients it’s been recommended to be the best natural source for boosting your health. Here are the top 10 benefits of spirulina:

  1. Spirulina Helps Bolster Immunity

As mentioned above, spirulina is chock full of antioxidants -Phycocyanin and allophycocyanin along with anthocyanins. These antioxidants are traditionally believed to protect the body against free radical proliferation and damage. Clinical investigation on Spirulina indicated that the extract could influence the immune system by increasing the phagocytic activity of macrophages, stimulating the production of antibodies and cytokines, increasing the accumulation of Natural Killer cells into tissue, and activating and mobilizing the T and B cells. Thus, with these potent properties, researchers suggest that spirulina may protect the organs from damage, fortify one’s immune system and help ward off infections like colds, flu, and diseases such as cancer. A study indicated that spirulina had anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells meaning the cells did not multiply or spread. [2, 3]

  1. Spirulina Supports Eye Health

Spirulina is also rich in carotenoids, which is almost 10 times the amount present in carrots. It is also loaded with other essential eye-supporting nutrients like zeaxanthin and lutein. Both In vitro and In vivo studies have suggested that the polysaccharide extract from Spirulina may benefit in the therapy of corneal inflammation and diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and poor vision. 4

  1. Spirulina Boosts Cognitive Power

Spirulina is an excellent supplement for those looking to improve their memory and cognitive abilities. This cyanobacterium is a rich source of vitamin B1, and this vitamin is exceptionally important for metabolizing fats, protein, and sugar and boosting energy and brain function. Moreover, an In vivo study result indicated that spirulina may prevent the loss of memory possibly by lessening Aβ protein accumulation, reducing oxidative damage, and mainly increasing enzyme activity that destroys harmful substances inside your body. 5

  1. Spirulina displays Cardio-protective Properties

Spirulina with its rich nutritional profile is believed to normalize blood flow and reduce plasma lipid concentrations, especially triglycerides and bad cholesterol. Several clinical studies have reported that spirulina’s bioactive constituents have the potential to reduce the levels of harmful lipids including cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides, very low-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins in a dose dependant manner. Thus, this indicates that spirulina possesses cardioprotective properties and may prove valuable in reducing cardiovascular diseases. 6

  1. Spirulina Promotes Healthy and Glowing Skin

One of the reasons that lead to accelerated aging and tissue degeneration is the production of the superoxide substance within the body.  Spirulina is also the best source of antioxidant-superoxide dismutase (SOD). This antioxidant is a biological entity that specifically targets the superoxide radical and protects the body from any subsequent tissue damage.  In fact, an In vivo test showed that spirulina positively affected the connective tissue cells that produce collagen and other fibers. The results indicate that spirulina might be valuable in improving aging spots, rashes, and other skin issues. 7

  1. Spirulina Improves Intestinal Flora

Spirulina is also hailed as an efficient probiotic and is often recommended to optimize digestive functions and improve gut health. Clinical examination revealed that spirulina promoted the growth of 3 friendly lactobacilli and displayed potent antibacterial activity against human pathogenic bacteria. 8

  1. Spirulina Helps Eliminate Toxins and Protects Against Radiation

Spirulina’s active constituents are believed to bind to toxic heavy metals like mercury, lead, and aluminum within the blood and get them eliminated from the cellular systems of the body. Moreover, an In vivo examination indicated that spirulina also exerted a radioprotective effect on the cells owing to its high contents of beta-carotene, a singlet oxygen quencher, and vitamin E that protected the cell membrane from peroxidative damage. 9

  1. Spirulina Augments Muscle Endurance

Spirulina’s power-packed nutrients potentially protect the muscle from exercise-induced oxidation and improve performance. A double-blind, crossover study on male subjects showed spirulina supplementation induced a significant increase in exercise performance and fat oxidation. The results also reported that spirulina helped the body utilize fat for energy and protected the muscle from getting damaged. 10

  1. Spirulina Protects Against Allergies

Spirulina is said to possess antihistaminic properties, which may help reduce allergic reactions. It is believed that spirulina’s anti-inflammatory properties help relieve respiratory inflammation and protect the body against foreign invaders. Results of a randomized double-blinded crossover study showed spirulina supplementation inhibits allergic rhinitis symptoms. 11

  1. Spirulina Induces Restful Sleep

Spirulina contains the highest amount of protein of any food in nature. It contains L-tryptophan which is an amino acid that the body uses to make the hormone Melatonin, which regulates sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin is used by insomniacs to induce sleep. This can cause sleep disorders by reducing the natural production of melatonin. Spirulina, on the other hand, is thought to help your body produce natural melatonin, which can induce quality and restful sleep.

Where should you buy Spirulina from?

Spirulina has been proven to be one of the most effective nutrient supplements available. The market is full of different varieties of Spirulina. The next important question is which variety and type of spirulina is the best.

You will also find that many brands are out to make a quick profit and sell contaminated spirulina (it’s pond scum, in the end). This could do you more harm than good.

Processing spirulina can be expensive, and certain varieties are not recommended for patients with auto-immune disorders, anticoagulation medications, or pregnant or nursing mothers.

Many companies sell spirulina in its purest form, while others mix it with other ingredients. You should do thorough research before choosing Spirulina from obscure or cheap companies.

Biogetica offers SpiruLiva which is a combination of pure organic Spirulina and Astaxanthin. Our market research revealed that the majority of commercially available spirulina has Phycocyanin levels between 5 and 10%. Biogetica has developed a Spirulina with over 20% Phycocyanin, and all necessary certificates, using enhanced natural processes over the years. Our SpiruLiva contains Astaxanthin. Astaxanthin, a reddish pigment derived from microalgae, is also an antioxidant superpower. This reddish pigment is also sourced from microalgae. It is another antioxidant superpower.

Biogetica is proud to offer solutions that are derived from nature’s best resources and pledges to assist each individual in their journey from dis-ease to ease. For more information, to purchase our ground-breaking SpiruLiva, or for any health advice, you can consult our Health Experts available 24/7 at www.biogetica.com now.
