Brief description of the ingredients and their uses

WITHANIA SOMNIFERA (Ashwagandha)
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera, fam. Solanaceae) is commonly known as “Indian Winter cherry” or “Indian Ginseng”. It is one of the most important herb of Ayurveda (the traditional system of medicine in India) used for millennia as a Rasayana for its wide ranging health benefits. Rasayana is described as an herbal or metallic preparation that promotes a youthful state of physical and mental health and expands happiness. These types of remedies are given to small children as tonics, and are also taken by the middle-aged and elderly to increase longevity. Among the ayurvedic Rasayana herbs, Ashwagandha holds the most prominent place. It is known as “Sattvic Kapha Rasayana” Herb (Changhadi, 1938). Most of the Rasayana herbs are adaptogen / anti-stress agents.
Ashwagandha is commonly available as a churna, a fine sieved powder that can be mixed with water, ghee (clarified butter) or honey. It enhances the function of the brain and nervous system and improves the memory. It improves the function of the reproductive system promoting a healthy sexual and reproductive balance. Being a powerful adaptogen, it enhances the body's resilience to stress. Ashwagandha improves the body's defense against disease by improving the cell-mediated immunity. It also possesses potent antioxidant properties that help protect against cellular damage caused by free radicals.
The biologically active chemical constituents of Withania somnifera (WS) include alkaloids (isopelletierine, anaferine, cuseohygrine, anahygrine, etc.), steroidal lactones (withanolides, withaferins) and saponins. Sitoindosides and acylsterylglucosides in Ashwagandha are anti-stress agents. Active principles of Ashwagandha, for instance the sitoindosides VII-X and Withaferin-A, have been shown to have significant anti-stress activity against acute models of experimental stress. Many of its constituents support immunomodulatory actions. The aerial parts of Withania somnifera yielded 5-dehydroxy withanolide-R and withasomniferin-A.
Ashwagandha has been used as a Rasayana. The root of Ashwagandha is regarded as tonic, aphrodisiac, narcotic, diuretic, anthelmintic, astringent, thermogenic and stimulant. The root smells like horse (“ashwa”), that is why it is called Ashwagandha (on consuming it gives the power of a horse). It is commonly used in emaciation of children (when given with milk, it is the best tonic for children), debility from old age, rheumatism, vitiated conditions of vata, leucoderma, constipation, insomnia, nervous breakdown, goiter etc. The paste formed when roots are crushed with water is applied to reduce the inflammation at the joints. It is also locally applied in carbuncles, ulcers and painful swellings. The root in combination with other drugs is prescribed for snake venom as well as in scorpion-sting. It also helps in leucorrhoea, boils, pimples, flatulent colic, worms and piles. The Nagori Ashwagandha is the supreme among all Ashwagandha varieties. Maximum benefit appears when fresh Ashwagandha powder is used.
The leaves are bitter and are recommended in fever, painful swellings. The flowers are astringent, depurative, diuretic and aphrodisiac. The seeds are anthelmintic and combined with astringent and rock salt remove white spots from the cornea. Ashwagandharishta prepared from it is used in hysteria, anxiety, memory loss, syncope, etc. It also acts as a stimulant and increases the sperm count.

CURCUMA LONGA (Turmeric)
Turmeric is regarded as the golden spice with innumerable health benefits. Turmeric, scientifically known as Curcuma longa belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, genus Curcuma. The crop is cultivated in the tropical and subtropical regions around the world [1]. Turmeric originates from the Indian subcontinent and South East Asian countries. Turmeric has been used in various traditional systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Siddha, and Chinese medicine for the treatment of various diseases. The diverse applications of turmeric include use in dietary spice, foods, textile industries, medicinal and nutraceutical fields.
The phytochemical analysis of the rhizome had revealed the presence of valuable phytochemical components viz, curcuminoids, volatile oils, proteins, dietary fibers, carbohydrates, and minerals. Curcuminoids form the class of molecules which include curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin.
The low toxicity of natural products has opened the way to use in nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, and functional foods and has gained significant popularity globally over the past few decades due to the increased potential health benefits. Most modern nutraceutical industries have focused on developing value-added products which are of natural origin using the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies. The major hurdle in the drug development is designing of the formulation, which has the potential to increase the bioefficacy and often comes as with increased bioavailability of the molecule. There are several promising technologies which are also in commercial use with enhanced pharmacological activities. The numerous health benefits of curcuminoids extend the applications to be used in wide variety of nutraceutical applications. The chapter tries to present an overview on the different phytochemicals, molecular targets, bioavailability, and the role of curcuminoids in various sort of nutraceutical and functional food applications and the various forms with which they are supplemented to the end user.
Curcumin is a natural antioxidant that has anti-inflammatory benefits, as well as [possible] benefits related to slowing the aging process and preventing Alzheimer’s disease and, potentially, depression

CINNAMOMUM ZEYLANICUM (Cinnamon Bark)
Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Dalchini) is an evergreen tropical shrub with thick, smooth, reddish-brown bark that grows to a height of around 6-8 metres. The opposite or sub-opposite leaves are glabrous, ovate and lanceolate, hard and coriaceous, and opposite or sub-opposite leaves are glabrous, ovate and lanceolate, hard and coriaceous. The leaves are brightly coloured above and pale beneath, with 3-5 major nerves. People use the bark to make medicine.
Cinnamon bark is used for gastrointestinal (GI) upset, diarrhea, and gas. It is also used for stimulating appetite; for infections caused by bacteria and parasitic worms; and for menstrual cramps, the common cold, and the flu (influenza).
Cinnamon bark, as part of a multi-ingredient preparation, is applied to the penis for premature ejaculation.
In foods, cinnamon is used as a spice and as a flavoring agent in beverages.
In manufacturing, cinnamon oil is used in small amounts in toothpaste, mouthwashes, gargles, lotions, liniments, soaps, detergents, and other pharmaceutical products and cosmetics.
The oils found in cinnamon bark are thought to reduce spasms, reduce gas (flatulence), and stimulate the appetite. Cinnamon might also increase blood flow. Cinnamon bark also contains a chemical that might work like insulin to lower blood sugar. However, these effects are thought to be fairly weak.
There are also ingredients in cinnamon bark called tannins that might help wounds by acting as an astringent, and also prevent diarrhea.

CAMELLA SINENSIS (Tea)
Camellia sinensis is a species of evergreen shrub or small tree in the flowering plant family Theaceae. Its leaves and leaf buds are used to produce the popular beverage, tea. Common names include tea plant, tea shrub, and tea tree.
Camellia sinensis or tea leaf extract has gained popularity given the multiple health benefits of tea, especially those of green tea.
Here are some of the extract’s main compounds.
Catechins:
Catechins are one of the primary active compounds found in the Camellia sinensis plant. Studies have credited them with cancer-fighting properties. They are classified as flavonoids, which are one of the most common types of polyphenols — a large family of compounds with potent antioxidant properties.
Antioxidant compounds neutralize harmful molecules called free radicals. They help prevent and fight diseases that can occur when free radicals build up in your body, causing a state called oxidative stress.
The extract contains four different types of catechins: epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epicatechin (EC). EGCG is the most potent and predominant of these.
Caffeine:
Caffeine is the most studied stimulant compound in coffee and tea. A typical cup of green tea generally contains about 6% caffeine. It’s widely known for exerting both positive and negative health effects.For instance, studies have shown regular caffeine intake may help prevent people from developing type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.
As a stimulant, caffeine may also increase alertness, reduce fatigue, and improve exercise performance and mental functioning.
L-theanine:
L-theanine is a non-protein amino acid derived from the tea plant. It’s the most abundant amino acid in green tea, comprising about half of its amino acid content. L-theanine contributes to the characteristic flavor and aroma of tea. It’s also the compound behind tea’s relaxing effect, which may help improve concentration and learning.
Furthermore, L-theanine has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and is associated with improved immune function.
Other compounds:
In addition to the three main compounds above, tea leaf extract contains B vitamins, lipids such as linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids, and trace minerals, including magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium.
Effects on skin health:
Camellia sinensis leaf extract has a long history of use in the cosmetic industry due to its positive effects on skin health and appearance.
Due to the antioxidant potential of EGCG, it may protect the skin from damage from ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which causes sunburn and may lead to premature skin aging and nonmelanoma skin cancer.
Furthermore, research shows that applying the extract topically and taking it orally reduces scaling and increases blood flow to the skin, skin elasticity, hydration, and density. People often use the extract as an anti-cellulite agent due to its caffeine content.
It may also help reduce wound healing time and may decrease excess sebum production — one main characteristic of an oily face.
Effects on heart health:
Taking Camellia sinensis leaf extract or drinking tea may help improve heart health.
Their catechin and L-theanine contents may help lower risk factors for heart disease, including:
• Blood cholesterol and triglycerides. Studies suggest that the extract may reduce levels of total and LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides by reducing their absorption.
• Arterial plaque. Catechins in the extract reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol oxidation, helping prevent plaque from building up and clogging your arteries.
• Blood pressure. The extract may lower blood pressure by promoting blood vessel relaxation and improving blood vessel function.
The extract may also reduce the risk of heart attack. Its compounds may reduce the enlargement of the heart, improve blood pressure dysfunction, and restore antioxidant enzyme activity.

PIPER NIGRUM (Black Pepper)
The king of spices, pepper (Piper nigrum), is a member of the piperaceae family of plants. It can only grow in a certain temperature and rainfall range. Small berries that resemble grapes and dried fruits and sections of the perennial pepper plant are the parts that are used. This group also includes paprika, chilli peppers, and capsicums. They differ from one another not just in terms of colour, but also significantly in terms of their botanical names and characteristics. Red pepper, in contrast to other peppers, can be used whole, ground, or powdered. To get rid of stalks, peels, and stem heads, dried pepper is washed. The end product made from completely ripened berries is white pepper.

Common benefits of Piper Nigrum that we are aware of:
There are many advantages of using black pepper, some of the advantages are given hereunder:
1. Piper nigrum helps food digest more effectively.
2. A teaspoon of honey with crushed black pepper is a well-known cure that many people have attempted to relieve cold and cough symptoms.
3. Piper nigrum aids in weight loss since it raises metabolism, which is a fact. A dash of pepper detoxifies the body and has health advantages.
4. By regularly consuming piper nigrum, wrinkles can be said to be a thing of the past. Given that pepper's health advantages include healthier skin, it is no surprise that it is a culinary staple.
Some uncommon health benefits of piper nigrum:
The health advantages of pepper extend beyond those found in some skin care products. Pepper's health advantages can help persons with serious health problems. Let's look at some of these:
1. Depression: Piper nigrum has the ability to combat depression since it stimulates and improves brain function.
2. Blood pressure - It has been demonstrated that consistent use of piper nigrum lowers blood pressure.
3. Alzheimer's Disease - One of the benefits of black pepper is that it slows down the ageing process of the brain.
4. Cancer: Because black pepper improves nutrient absorption in the body, which is great for gut health and avoiding cancer, it has anti-cancer characteristics.
There are several health advantages of black pepper, as you can see above. But if you take peppers every day in some form or another, you may benefit from their health advantages. Piper nigrum should be used in cooking in addition to the many common household treatments.

ZINGIBER OFFICINALE (Ginger)
A perennial herb belonging to the Zingiberaceae family, ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is one of the most extensively consumed food and herbal spices in the world today. Owing to its favourable attributes of aroma and biological and pharmacological activities, ginger has served as an essential ingredient in traditional Chinese, Ayurveda and Unani medicine across centuries. Native to South-East Asia, the ginger rhizome has witnessed its widespread use in countries like China, India and the USA to manage a range of conditions, including cough, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea etc.
Rich in various biologically active compounds like phenolic and flavonoids, ginger might possess a wide range of beneficial properties. These may include antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory action, anti-cancer activity, antimicrobial activity, keeping a healthy weight, boosting blood glucose tolerance, augment lipid profile.
Potential Uses of Ginger:
Ginger may have potential uses for various conditions; however, more human studies are needed to support its true extent in humans.
Potential uses of ginger for inflammatory diseases:
Ginger and its extracts may cause attenuation of inflammatory diseases like colitis. This might be attributed to its active compounds that may be involved in the suppression of the pro-inflammatory transcription factors (NF-KB) and cytokines (TNF-α). However, there is a need for further research on humans to suggest the potential uses of ginger that might benefit inflammatory diseases.
Potential uses of ginger for antioxidant activity:
The active constituent of ginger, 6-Gingerol, may have significant antioxidant activity against the oxidative stress exhibited by free radicals like reactive oxygen species. This information is insufficient; hence more research is required to study the effects of ginger in managing oxidative stress in humans.
Potential uses of ginger for antimicrobial activity:
Ginger may have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral activities. The growth inhibition of various microbes may be attributed to biological mechanisms, including the suppression of the biofilm formation that is integral to antimicrobial resistance. However, more human trials are required to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of ginger.
Potential uses of ginger for anti-cancer activity:
The anti-cancer activity of ginger and its biological constituents may have been illustrated against several cancer types, including breast, prostate, liver, colorectal, and cervical cancer. Biological mechanisms like the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation and triggering of apoptosis may have accounted for the anti-cancer properties displayed by ginger. However, this data is insufficient as there is no evidence of successful human trials of ginger in managing cancer. Cancer is a severe health condition and requires adequate diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, a doctor’s consultation is necessary.
Potential uses of ginger for neural conditions:
According to Talebi et al. 2021, ginger and it’s biological compounds may have displayed beneficial effects in managing a range of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease by positively impacting memory function. Ginger may be effective in managing migraines and the associated symptoms of headache and nausea. However, more studies are required to provide the benefits of ginger in managing neural conditions of humans.
Potential uses of ginger for the cardiovascular system:
The heart benefitting activities of ginger against cardiovascular diseases like stroke and coronary heart disease may have been documented. This may be brought about by attenuating the known risk factors for elevated blood lipids and high blood pressure. This information is insufficient and requires more studies to support this claim. Therefore, consult an Ayurvedic doctor before using ginger and only use it if prescribed.
Potential uses of ginger for weight management:
Consumption of ginger may be fruitful in the overall management of weight. It may help in lowering the body mass index. Furthermore, the oral consumption of ginger powder may have been found to stimulate the thermoregulatory function and fat breakdown in humans. We require more studies on humans to suggest the potential use of ginger in managing weight.
Potential uses of ginger for diabetes:
Ginger has been demonstrated to have beneficial effects against metabolic syndromes like diabetes mellitus by significantly lowering the blood glucose levels and subsequently increasing insulin sensitivity. However, more studies on humans are needed to provide evidence the effect of ginger in managing blood sugar levels in the body. Diabetes is a serious health condition that requires appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, please consult a doctor and use ginger to manage blood sugar if prescribed by your doctors.
Potential uses of ginger for nausea and vomiting:
Ginger may have shown its efficacy in the management of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy as well as chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. People should consult a doctor before using ginger to manage nausea and vomiting and never use it to self-medicate.
Potential uses of ginger for the respiratory system:
Ginger may have bronchodilation activity (relaxation of the airway smooth muscles). It may benefit in managing respiratory disorders like asthma. However, this information is insufficient and needs support from human trials. Therefore, people should consult a doctor before using it to manage human asthma-related issues.
Potential uses of ginger for liver:
The phenolic compounds of ginger may have demonstrated the liver- benefiting effects in terms of enhancing overall liver functioning. However, this information is insufficient, and there is a need for more studies to establish the positive impact of ginger on improving liver health.
Potential uses of ginger for allergies:
The anti-allergic activity of ginger in managing allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose) by suppressing the cytokine production for activation of T cells has been documented. However, this study information is insufficient to suggest its effect on overcoming allergies in humans. If you experience allergic reactions, immediately rush to the hospital and take appropriate treatment from your doctors.
Potential uses of ginger for pain-killing activity:
Ingestion of ginger might have displayed significant effects in relieving primary pain. Additionally, ginger has shown substantial benefits in managing musculoskeletal pain and rheumatoid arthritis. However, more studies are required to suggest the beneficial effects of ginger in alleviating pain in the human body.
Though studies show the benefits of ginger in various health conditions, these are insufficient and there is a need for further studies to establish the true extent of the benefits of ginger on human health.

ECHINACEA PURPUREA (Asteraceae)
Echinacea is a group of plants that are rich in antioxidants and may help support immunity. They’re available in several different forms, which vary in terms of recommended dosage.
Echinacea, also called purple coneflower, is one of the most popular herbs worldwide.
Native Americans have used it for centuries to treat various ailments.
Today, it’s best known as an over-the-counter herbal remedy for the common cold or flu. However, it’s also used to treat pain, inflammation, migraines, and other health issues.
Both the plant’s upper parts and roots are used in tablets, tinctures, extracts, and teas.
Echinacea plants contain an impressive variety of active compounds, such as caffeic acid, alkamides, phenolic acids, rosmarinic acid, polyacetylenes, and many more.
In addition, studies have linked echinacea and their compounds to many health benefits, such as reduced inflammation, improved immunity, and lower blood sugar levels.
High in antioxidants
Echinacea plants are loaded with plant compounds that function as amtioxidants.
Antioxidants are molecules that help defend your cells against oxidative stress, a state that has been linked to chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and many others.
Some of these antioxidants are flavonoids, cichoric acid, and rosmarinic acid.
These antioxidants appear to be higher in extracts from the flowers and roots of the plants, compared to other parts, such as the leaves.
In addition, echinacea plants contain compounds called alkamides, which can further enhance antioxidant activity.
Positive effect on the immune system:
Echinacea is best known for its beneficial effects on the immune system.
Numerous older studies have found that this plant may help your immune system combat infections and viruses, which could help you recover faster from illness.
That’s one reason why chinacea is often used to prevent or treat the common cold.
Further several benefits of Echinacea is as under:
May lower blood sugar levels:
High blood sugar can raise your risk of serious health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and several other chronic conditions.
Test-tube studies have found that echinacea plants may help lower blood sugar levels.
In a test-tube study, an Echinacea purpurea extract was shown to suppress enzymes that digest carbohydrates. In theory, this means that echinacea might be able to reduce the amount of sugar entering your blood.
Other animal studies suggest that the antioxidants found in echinacea could help improve blood sugar and insulin sensitivity.
May reduce feelings of anxiety:
Anxiety is a common problem that is estimated to affect nearly 7% of adults in the United States.
In recent years, echinacea plants have emerged as a potential aid for anxiety.
Some older research has discovered that echinacea plants contain compounds that may reduce feelings of anxiety. These include alkamides, rosmarinic acid, and caffeic acid.
Anti-inflammatory properties:
Inflammation is your body’s natural way of promoting healing and defending itself.
Sometimes inflammation can get out of hand and last for longer than necessary and expected. This may raise your risk of chronic diseases and other health problems.
Several studies have shown that echinacea can help reduce excess inflammation.
May help treat skin concerns:
Research has shown that echinacea plants may help treat common skin concerns.
In another 2010 study in 10 people, skin care products containing echinacea extract were found to improve skin hydration and reduce wrinkles.

BACOPA MONNIERI (Water Brahmi)
Bacopa monnieri, commonly known as water hyssop, is an herb often used in Ayurveda. It is taken for the purpose of improving cognitive function, stress relief, and a general enhancement of vitality. Bacopa monnieri interacts with the dopamine and serotonin systems, but its main mechanism concerns promoting neuron communication. It does this by increasing the growth of dendrites. Bacopa monnieri also has antioxidant effects.
Overall, bacopa offers an impressive list of benefits for the body, mind, and emotions. While best known for supporting the mind and nervous system, bacopa also has a strong affinity for the lymph, blood, skin, and joints, as well as the circulatory and digestive systems.
Here are a few more benefits this incredible herb has to offer:
• Mental Strength and Fortitude. Bacopa has been revered for ages as one of the top brain tonics in the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. It has been used for centuries in Ayurveda to strengthen memory and intellect while supporting focus and concentration.
• A Calm Mind and Nervous System. Balancing and rejuvenating for the nervous system, bacopa can help ease occasional anxiousness while supporting awareness, emotional stability, and an internal state of calm.
• Stable Energy and Sound Sleep. As one of Ayurveda’s beloved adaotigebuc herbs, bacopa can adapt to what the body needs, improving daytime alertness and focus while reducing stress throughout the system and improving the quality of sleep at night.
• Healthy Blood, Hair, Skin, and Joints. Bacopa is energetically cooling (which we’ll discuss in more detail below), meaning that it can promote comfortable joint movement, healthy blood, lustrous hair, and a clear complexion.

VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is one of the safest and most effective nutrients, experts say. Though it may not be the cure for the common cold, the benefits of vitamin C may include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and even skin wrinkling. The tolerable upper intake level (or the maximum amount you can take in a day that likely won’t cause harm) is 2000 mg a day for adults.
A study published in Seminars in Preventive and Alternative Medicine that looked at over 100 studies over 10 years revealed a growing list of possible benefits of vitamin C.
Vitamin C has received a great deal of attention, and with good reason. Higher blood levels of vitamin C may be the ideal nutrition marker for overall health," says study researcher Mark Moyad, MD, MPH, of the University of Michigan. "The more we study vitamin C, the better our understanding of how diverse it is in protecting our health, from cardiovascular, cancer, stroke, eye health [and] immunity to living longer.

FERULA ASAFETIDA (Hing)
Asafoetida (Ferula asafoetida) is the dried sap — or gum resin — obtained from the roots of Ferula plants. It’s commonly dried, ground into a coarse, yellow powder, and used for either culinary or medicinal purposes.
While it’s native to Afghanistan and Iran, asafoetida is commonly used in Indian cuisine, where it’s referred to as hing.
As a seasoning, asafoetida is known for its strong, pungent odor, which is due to its high concentration of sulfur compounds. In fact, due to its unpleasant smell, it’s sometimes referred to as stinking gum.
However, when cooked, its flavor and smell become much more palatable and are often described as being similar to those of leeks, garlic, and even meat.
In Ayurvedic medicine, hing is used to aid digestion and gas, as well as treat bronchitis and kidney stones. During the Middle Ages, some people wore the dried gum around their necks to help ward off infection and disease.
This article examines the benefits, downsides, and uses of asafoetida.
Potential benefits of asafetida:
Good source of antioxidants:
Asafoetida has been found to be a good source of antioxidants. These compounds help protect your cells against potential damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals. As a result, antioxidants may also help protect against chronic inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes. Specifically, asafoetida has been shown to contain high amounts of phenolic compounds, such as tannins and flavonoids, which are known for their potent antioxidant effects.
While test-tube and animal studies have found asafoetida to exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, more research needs to be done on its potential antioxidant effects in humans.
Additionally, as asafoetida is used in such small amounts in cooking, it’s unclear whether culinary use of the spice provides these benefits.
May be good for digestion:
One of the most common uses of asafoetida is as an indigestion aid.
Asafoetida has also been shown to help boost digestion by increasing the activity of digestive enzymes. Specifically, it may increase the release of bile from your liver, which is needed for digesting fat.
May help reduce symptoms of IBS:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic digestive condition that’s characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort, bloating, and gas, as well as constipation, diarrhea, or both.
Due to its potential effects on digestion, asafoetida is thought to help reduce symptoms associated with IBS.
Other possible benefits:
While studies on asafoetida are limited, early research suggests that it may have additional benefits, including:
• Antibacterial, antifungal, and antimicrobial effects. Test-tube studies have found that asafoetida may protect against pathogens, such as various strains of Streptococcus bacteria.
• May help lower blood pressure. Asafoetida may help lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels..
• Potential anticancer effects. Animal and test-tube studies suggest that asafoetida may help stop the growth and spread of certain cancer cells, including breast and liver cancer.
• May protect brain health. Several animal studies have indicated that asafoetida may help safeguard against memory loss and nerve damage in the brain.
• May ease asthma symptoms. Animal studies have shown asafoetida to have a relaxing effect on airway smooth muscles, which is important for the treatment of asthma.
• May lower blood sugar levels. One study in rats found that 22.7 mg of asafoetida extract per pound (50 mg per kg) of body weight helped reduce fasting blood sugar levels.

GARCINIA MANGOSTANA (Mangosteen)
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn., GML), are known to possess a wide spectrum of pharmacologic properties, including antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral activities.
Mangosteen is called the "QUEEN OF FRUITS" & Food of Gods and is a rich source of antioxidants and vitamin C. It has been found that its extract can neutralise up to 20–30 times more free radicals than any other natural sources. Mangosteen is good in vitamin C which is a powerful water soluble ANTIOXIDANTS. Mangosteen helps to strengthen the immunity system.
It promotes joint & cartilage function supports a strong respiratory system and help in maintaining good health. The active therapeutic compound found in Mangosteen is called “XANTHONES”. Xanthones are a family of phytonutrients loaded with potent of health benefits and antioxidants properties. Xanthones in Mangosteen have the ability to eradicate and destroy cancer cells. The mangosteen fruit is said to containsatleast 43 known Xanthones, majority of which are found in the fruit wall or pericarp of the fruit.
Xanthones work to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals. By damaging the free radicals, these antioxidants protect the body from various diseases, ranging from common cold and Flu, Cancer risk and Heart disorders.
There are over 200 XANTHONES found in nature. Mostly in wood, lichens and moss, which are mostly unpalatable and inedible. But 43 of them are in the Mangosteen, 3 in pulp and 40 in the pericarp. The highest recorded amount of XANTHONES present in Mangosteen than anything else. Xanthones represents the very latest that nutritional science has to offer. Much more than a great Antioxidants, Xanthones are a class of multi-functional phytonutrients poised to raise the bar in the nutritional arena ! At our company, we have not only launched a category creator, we are the next generation of supplementation.
"Mangosteen provides powerful support for every organ system in the human body. This fact is being confirmed on a daily basis by clinical experience... I am convinced that Mangosteen will, without a doubt, be the most successful food supplement ever." - J. Frederic Temple man, M.D., a primary care physician for more than 20 years and board certified in both the United States and Canada.
"Mangosteen provides huge health benefits for every organ in our bodies."- Sam Walters, N.M.D., a family practitioner trained as a specialist in both traditional and natural medicine, with more than 30 years of comprehensive practical experience in the medical profession, and formulated nutritional products for companies and institutions including the NASA Space Center for the astronauts.
Mangosteen contains more than 40 biologically-active, natural chemical compounds called Xanthones. While all these Xanthones have similar molecular structures, each one has its own unique chemical formulation that permits it to perform a specific function. Alpha-mangostin, for example, is a very potent antioxidant. Gamma-mangostin is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Garcinone E is a strong anti-tumor agent. These and the other Xanthones found in the Mangosteen provide a virtual medicine chest of natural healing compounds that address a wide variety of health issues.
Centuries of Mangosteen use has helped Southeast Asians maintain or regain their health and cure their diseases. Traditional Asian healers use the fruit to stop infection, treat inflammation, and increase one's energy, among others.
Modern scientists and a growing number of health practitioners now agree on the medical benefits of Mangosteen. They have found that the fruit is helpful in preventing and possibly even stopping a wide range of diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer and other chronic diseases.
Those who have taken the time to do their own research on the validity of each health benefit of Mangosteen will find that there is real and solid science behind the "Queen of Fruits".
Our immune system tries to keep trillions of cells in our bodies protected from disease-causing toxins, free radicals, viruses, bacteria, fungi and other harmful agents.
At times, though, our immune system gets overwhelmed. Our bodies get sick, often because of free radical damage.
A free radical is an unstable atom with an unpaired electron. When a free radical comes in contact with a stable atom, it steals the electron it needs from the stable atom. This leaves the once stable atom irreparably damaged and prone to succumb to disease.
Antioxidants counteract free radicals. They have an extra electron that they can share with free radicals. Because of this ability, they are able to prevent free radicals from attacking healthy atoms or cells.
Mangosteen contains powerful antioxidants and immune system boosters called Xanthones, natural chemical compounds which were proven to possess a variety of potent medicinal properties.
Xanthones occupy a special place in the Mangosteen's arsenal of healing compounds. They have been shown to have more potent antioxidant activity than vitamin E, one of nature's most powerful known antioxidants.
A laboratory test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), for example, showed that an ounce of Mangosteen extract provides 20 to 30 times more capacity to absorb free radicals than an ounce of most fruits and vegetables.
Mangosteen also contains other potent natural compounds like catechism, polysaccharides, quinines, stilbenes and polyphenols.
Catechism were discovered to be five times more potent as antioxidants than vitamin C.
Polysaccharides are highly potent anti-cancer and anti-bacterial plant compounds. They help block a mutated cells ability to stick to healthy cells to help stop the spread of cancer, and are especially effective against intracellular bacteria.
Quinones are known for their anti-bacterial properties and also are strong antioxidants. Stilbenes in plants defend these plants against fungi. Interestingly, stilbenes also maintain their anti-fungal properties even when ingested. They also are strong antioxidants.
Polyphenols were found to be far more potent as antioxidants than vitamin E, considered one of the most powerful known antioxidants.

SUCRALOSE (E955)
Sucralose is a no-calorie sweetener that can be used to lower one’s intake of added sugars while still providing satisfaction from enjoying the taste of something sweet. While some types of sweeteners in this category are considered low-calorie (e.g., aspartame) and others are no-calorie (e.g., sucralose, monk fruit sweeteners and stevia sweeteners), collectively they are often referred to as sugar substitutes, high-intensity sweeteners, nonnutritive sweeteners or low-calorie sweeteners.
Like other no-calorie sweeteners, sucralose is intensely sweet. It is about 600 times sweeter than sugar, so only small amounts of sucralose are used to match the sweetness provided by sugar. Sucralose is permitted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a general-purpose sweetener, meaning it can be used as an ingredient in any type of food or beverage. Sucralose is exceptionally stable, so foods and beverages sweetened with sucralose stay sweet under a wide range of conditions. This includes frozen foods like ice cream and other frozen desserts, as well as foods that need to be heated to high temperatures, like baked goods and foods that require sterilization. However, a recipe that uses sucralose in place of sugar may turn out slightly different because, in addition to sweetness, sugar plays several roles related to volume and texture in recipes but varies based on the type of recipe.
Sucralose is also used in tabletop sweeteners. There are numerous brands of sucralose-based tabletop sweeteners. The most common brand in the U.S. is Splenda® Original.
Sucralose is made from a process that begins with regular table sugar (sucrose); however, sucralose is not sugar. Three select hydroxyl groups on the sucrose molecule are replaced with three chlorine atoms. Sucralose’s structure prevents enzymes in the digestive tract from breaking it down, which is an inherent part of its safety.

It has been found that utilization of the above-mentioned method with combinations of products results in a dehydrated composition that is homogeneous and resistant to separation of the components. That is, the ratio of the components is retained in the dried product. The method produces a dehydrated product with a density similar to that obtained by spray-drying / sun drying and the like, but with retention in heat-labile constituents similar to that obtained via freeze-drying.
Products which may be utilized in the combinations for drying include but are not limited to berries, fruits, herbs, vitamins, barks, roots, nuts, legumes, and extracts or purified extracts of berries, fruits, herbs, vitamins, barks, roots, nuts, or legumes including Withania somnifera, Curcuma longa, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Emblica officinalis,Camella sinensis, Piper nigrum, zingiber officinale, Convolvulus prostrates, Ciriandum sativum, Syzygium aromaticum, Myristica fragrans, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Ocimum sanctum, Adhatoda vasica, Echinacea purpurea, Bacopa monnieri, vitamin C, Ferula asafetida, Garcinia mangostana, Sucralose (E955).
The extracts of any of aforesaid ingredients may be liquefied by any process, filtered or unfiltered and combined. In some embodiment, the extracts are combined in a ratio of less than 1% to greater than 99% in the liquid form. The liquid combinations are then dried using the methods of the invention to form a gel, a film, a flake, or a powder that retains the original homogeneity of the liquid. The form of the dried product depends on several factors, such as composition of original components, temperature of drying, residence time on the dryer, moisture content of the product.
Homogeneity of the product may be determined by methods known to those skilled in the art. It is known in the art that dry blends containing different combinations of food, herbs, supplements or extracts of food or herbs can experience separation of constituents due to different densities even when particle size is similar. Such separations occur, for example, during transport of the mixtures. The present combinations of dried blends, however, do not undergo a separation of constituents under these circumstances. In some embodiments, the homogeneity of the dried product is retained for at least about three years.
The dried blends of the present invention can be used in a variety of applications. The combinations of ingredients or purified extracts of said ingredients remain homogeneous in dehydrated form will improve the ease of formulations and standardize the constituents of the product. Standardization of constituents will improve the dependability of sensory attributes, nutrients and bioactivities of the combinations. Bioavailability of nutrients may be improved in the presence of aloe and the nutritional value of the foods, supplements or extracts. The dried products may be reconstituted with water. The dried blends can be used as a preformulation for the preparation of food, supplemental or therapeutic products.
The dried blends of the present invention may be used in compositions for various uses, such as therapeutic, cosmetic, and nutritional uses. For example, the dried blends may be formulated in a composition that contains a therapeutic agent. The therapeutic agent may be present either as part of the dried blend, or as part of a further composition.
As noted above, the dried composition of the present invention can be present in various drug delivery system, including gels, flakes, and powders. The form of the dried composition will inform the addition of other components for a particular use. If necessary the composition may be milled at any suitable stage of the process. A suitable sterilization procedure may also be included if necessary. Alternatively raw materials are obtained in sterile condition and the compositions are produced aseptically.
In an another embodiment of the invention, the end-product(s) is suitable for use in the form of powder, granules, suspension, tablets or capsules etc.
