The ancient Greeks used the petals of marigold for decorations and other purposes like make-up, coloring food (stews, soups, pudding etc) dying fabrics & medicinal uses.Lower Inflammation and Free Radical DamageResearch shows that calendula's dozens of active chemicals make it a natural cytotoxic, hepatoprotective and spasmogenic herb that's been demonstrated in both animal and human experiments. Extracts taken from the flower have been shown to lower C-reactive protein and cytokine levels and protect cells from being damaged by free radicals — one of the primary causes of aging and cell deterioration.Calendula not only controls oxidative damage from free radicals that can affect delicate tissues, such as those of the eyes, but also defend against infections of the skin, GI tract and genitals caused by viruses or bacteria.In addition, research also shows that calendula marigold helps fight growth of bacteria in wounds and might even be able to reduce symptoms associated with chemotherapy and cancer treatments.

Organic Golden Flaxseed Seed - 100g
Flaxseeds is also called linseeds, are small, brown, tan or golden-colored seeds. In fact, linseed or “flax seed” are different names for the same seed. Flaxseeds are a great source of dietary fiber; minerals like manganese, thiamine and magnesium; and plant-based protein. Flax is one of the richest sources of plant-based Omega-3 fatty , called alpha-linolenic acid (or ALA), in the world. Grinding flax helps you absorb both types of fiber it contains, along you to take advantage of even more of the benefits of flaxseed. Another unique fact about flaxseeds is that they are the No. 1 source of lignans in the human diets; flaxseed contain about seven times as many lignans as the closest runner-up, sesame seeds. One of the most extraordinary benefits of flaxseed is that flax contains high levels of mucilage gum content, a gel-forming fiber that is water-soluble and therefore moves through the gastrointestinal tract undigested. Once eaten, mucilage from flaxseeds can keep food in the stomach from emptying too quickly into the small intestine, which can increase nutrient absorption and make you feel fuller. Because the fiber found in flaxseed is not able to be broken down in the digestive tract, some of the calories that flax contains won't even be absorbed.Flax is low in carbohydrates but extremely high in both soluble and insoluble fiber, which means it also supports colon detoxification, may help with fat loss and can reduce sugar cravings. Most adults should aim to consume between 25-40 grams of fiber from high-fiber foods daily. Eating just two tablespoons of flaxseeds per day will provide about 20 percent to 25 percent of your fiber needs.Flaxseeds benefits for hair include making it shinier, stronger and more resistant to damage. The ALA fats in flaxseeds benefits the skin and hair by providing essential fatty acids as well as B vitamins, which can help reduce dryness and flakiness. It can also improve symptoms of acne, rosacea and eczema. The same benefits also apply to eye health, as flax can help reduce dry eye syndrome due to its lubricating effects.Using flax is a great way to naturally replace gluten-containing grains in recipes. Grains, especially those containing gluten, can be hard to digest for many people, but flax is usually easily metabolized and also anti-inflammatory.Because flax can absorb a lot of liquid and help bind ingredients you're using in cooking/baking recipes, but it does not contain any gluten, flaxseeds are a good choice for those who have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity. Opt for ground flaxseeds, as they are easier to digest.You won't reap as many benefits from whole flaxseeds, as your intestines cannot break down the tough outer shell of the seeds.Key FeaturesHigh in Omega-3 Fatty AcidsHigh in Fiber but Low in CarbsHigh in Antioxidants (Lignans)Make Skin and Hair HealthyLower Cholesterol and Treat HyperlipidemiaGluten-FreeHelp with Weight LossHelps Decrease Menopausal and Hormonal Imbalance SymptomsContain High-Quality ProteinAnti-Inflammation

A recent comparison of “Dakota Gold” flax with Canadian brown-seed flax shows golden and brown seeds are very closely matched in oil content (on a dry-matter basis). The analysis conducted on two “Dakota Gold” flax seed samples by the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) showed the golden seed contained between 43 and 44 per cent oil (see table below). This compared with the 44 per cent oil of Canadian brown flax seed found in the July 2001 CGC analysis. However, the brown seed surpassed the “Dakota Gold” in the omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic component of that oil. The July 2001 brown flax seed samples contained almost 59 per cent omega-3 fatty acid compared to about 51 per cent in the “Dakota Gold” samples. Thus, the evidence points to nutritional equality of brown and golden flax.Key FeaturesHigh in Fiber but Low in CarbsHigh in Omega-3 Fatty AcidsHelps Make Skin and Hair HairyHelps Lower CholesterolGluten-FreeHigh in Antioxidants (Lignans)Supports Digestive HealthMay Help Prevent CancerMay Help with Weight LossHelps Decrease Menopausal and Hormonal Imbalance Symptoms

Flaxseed Seed - 100g
Flaxseeds is also called linseeds, are small, brown, tan or golden-colored seeds. In fact, linseed or “flax seed” are different names for the same seed. Flaxseeds are a great source of dietary fiber; minerals like manganese, thiamine and magnesium; and plant-based protein. Flax is one of the richest sources of plant-based Omega-3 fatty , called alpha-linolenic acid (or ALA), in the world. Grinding flax helps you absorb both types of fiber it contains, along you to take advantage of even more of the benefits of flaxseed. Another unique fact about flaxseeds is that they are the No. 1 source of lignans in the human diets; flaxseed contain about seven times as many lignans as the closest runner-up, sesame seeds. One of the most extraordinary benefits of flaxseed is that flax contains high levels of mucilage gum content, a gel-forming fiber that is water-soluble and therefore moves through the gastrointestinal tract undigested. Once eaten, mucilage from flaxseeds can keep food in the stomach from emptying too quickly into the small intestine, which can increase nutrient absorption and make you feel fuller. Because the fiber found in flaxseed is not able to be broken down in the digestive tract, some of the calories that flax contains won't even be absorbed.Flax is low in carbohydrates but extremely high in both soluble and insoluble fiber, which means it also supports colon detoxification, may help with fat loss and can reduce sugar cravings. Most adults should aim to consume between 25-40 grams of fiber from high-fiber foods daily. Eating just two tablespoons of flaxseeds per day will provide about 20 percent to 25 percent of your fiber needs.Flaxseeds benefits for hair include making it shinier, stronger and more resistant to damage. The ALA fats in flaxseeds benefits the skin and hair by providing essential fatty acids as well as B vitamins, which can help reduce dryness and flakiness. It can also improve symptoms of acne, rosacea and eczema. The same benefits also apply to eye health, as flax can help reduce dry eye syndrome due to its lubricating effects.Using flax is a great way to naturally replace gluten-containing grains in recipes. Grains, especially those containing gluten, can be hard to digest for many people, but flax is usually easily metabolized and also anti-inflammatory.Because flax can absorb a lot of liquid and help bind ingredients you're using in cooking/baking recipes, but it does not contain any gluten, flaxseeds are a good choice for those who have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity. Opt for ground flaxseeds, as they are easier to digest.You won't reap as many benefits from whole flaxseeds, as your intestines cannot break down the tough outer shell of the seeds.Key FeaturesHigh in Omega-3 Fatty AcidsHigh in Fiber but Low in CarbsHigh in Antioxidants (Lignans)Make Skin and Hair HealthyLower Cholesterol and Treat HyperlipidemiaGluten-FreeHelp with Weight LossHelps Decrease Menopausal and Hormonal Imbalance SymptomsContain High-Quality ProteinAnti-Inflammation

It also helps in the recovery post an illness by aiding in the treatment of wear and tear of body tissues. It increases strength, vigour, vitality, and memory grasping power. The capsule improves the overall constitution and wellness of the bodyMLShilajit discoveredThe steep rocks of the Himalayan tundra's, warmed by ages of bright sunshine and mated with successive generations of grass, moss and wildflower, exude a dark sticky substance rich with medicinal power. This substance was discovered by the ancient rishis thousands of years ago and adopted by Ayurveda for its restorative properties. They named it Shilajatu or Shilajit.“There is hardly any curable disease which cannot be controlled or cured with the aid of Shilajit.”Charaka, 1st Century ADIn the hands of the ancient physicians…The ancient. Ayurvedic physicians used Shilajit to treat, among other things, chronic bronchitis, digestive trouble, renal and bladder problems, nervous diseases, diabetes, anemia and fractured bones. They used it for increased vigour and vitality, as antiseptic and anti - inflammatory. The Unani physicians used it too, as an antidote to poison and in the treatment of various problems including arthritis and inflammation.Tested by time and scienceThe medicinal and therapeutic properties of Shilajit - arising from its organic compounds and minerals - have stood the test of time. The composition of Shilajit is no longer a mystery, and its clinical use around the world has validated many century - old beliefs in Shilajit.What does Shilajit contain?Shilajit is a complex but completely natural mixture of minerals with organic and inorganic compounds. It contains aluminium, antimony, calcium, cobalt, copper, iron, lithium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, silica, sodium, strontium, zinc, fatty acids, hippuric acid, benzoic acid, fulvic acid, chebulic acid, tannic acid, resin and waxy matter, gums, albuminoids ad glycosides.Several of these components occur rarely in natural form. In fact, some are not known to exist in any natural substance other then Shilajit.Health through harmonyShilajit brings about balanced and harmonious health in all users - men and women, young and old. It acts as a restorative tonic, slowing down wear and tear of body tissues, which in turn delays ageing, Empirical evidence is constantly emerging of its effectiveness against anemia, liver dysfunction and muscular atrophy. Studies on the effects of Shilajit yield interesting results:Regains lost vital force of body cellsA body regulatorBenzoic acid in Shilajit is antiseptic/anti - inflammatory.Shilajit is often used as a primary ingredient in male wellness supplements to cure sexual dysfunction. Although this traditional use of shilajit is often dismissed by many, the practice is now supported by study findings. Research shows that shilajit supplementation can help to raise testosterone levels, making it an effective treatment for men who suffer from low libido, fatigue, and reduced muscle mass because of low testosterone levels. While shilajit's effect of raising testosterone levels can help improve sexual health in men, it doesn't directly affect fertility. However, there is evidence for shilajit as a natural and safe male infertility treatment. A study conducted on infertile men found that daily supplementation twice a day for 3 months led to an increase in sperm count among 60 percent of men in the group. 12 percent of the participants also saw increase in sperm motility, which again affects fertility. Degenerative brain disorders like Alzheimer's are one of the greatest threats to come with aging. In many of us, this process begins earlier in life, making it important to take steps to protect brain health as soon as possible. Shilajit is not classified as an adaptogenic supplement, but studies show that its molecular composition may help to delay or even prevent the disease progression. This is because fulvic acid boosts cognitive health by restricting tau protein accumulation, which is vital but known to trigger brain cell damage as it builds up.

Organic Golden Flaxseed Seed - 1kg
Flaxseeds is also called linseeds, are small, brown, tan or golden-colored seeds. In fact, linseed or “flax seed” are different names for the same seed. Flaxseeds are a great source of dietary fiber; minerals like manganese, thiamine and magnesium; and plant-based protein. Flax is one of the richest sources of plant-based Omega-3 fatty , called alpha-linolenic acid (or ALA), in the world. Grinding flax helps you absorb both types of fiber it contains, along you to take advantage of even more of the benefits of flaxseed. Another unique fact about flaxseeds is that they are the No. 1 source of lignans in the human diets; flaxseed contain about seven times as many lignans as the closest runner-up, sesame seeds. One of the most extraordinary benefits of flaxseed is that flax contains high levels of mucilage gum content, a gel-forming fiber that is water-soluble and therefore moves through the gastrointestinal tract undigested. Once eaten, mucilage from flaxseeds can keep food in the stomach from emptying too quickly into the small intestine, which can increase nutrient absorption and make you feel fuller. Because the fiber found in flaxseed is not able to be broken down in the digestive tract, some of the calories that flax contains won't even be absorbed.Flax is low in carbohydrates but extremely high in both soluble and insoluble fiber, which means it also supports colon detoxification, may help with fat loss and can reduce sugar cravings. Most adults should aim to consume between 25-40 grams of fiber from high-fiber foods daily. Eating just two tablespoons of flaxseeds per day will provide about 20 percent to 25 percent of your fiber needs.Flaxseeds benefits for hair include making it shinier, stronger and more resistant to damage. The ALA fats in flaxseeds benefits the skin and hair by providing essential fatty acids as well as B vitamins, which can help reduce dryness and flakiness. It can also improve symptoms of acne, rosacea and eczema. The same benefits also apply to eye health, as flax can help reduce dry eye syndrome due to its lubricating effects.Using flax is a great way to naturally replace gluten-containing grains in recipes. Grains, especially those containing gluten, can be hard to digest for many people, but flax is usually easily metabolized and also anti-inflammatory.Because flax can absorb a lot of liquid and help bind ingredients you're using in cooking/baking recipes, but it does not contain any gluten, flaxseeds are a good choice for those who have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity. Opt for ground flaxseeds, as they are easier to digest.You won't reap as many benefits from whole flaxseeds, as your intestines cannot break down the tough outer shell of the seeds.Key FeaturesHigh in Omega-3 Fatty AcidsHigh in Fiber but Low in CarbsHigh in Antioxidants (Lignans)Make Skin and Hair HealthyLower Cholesterol and Treat HyperlipidemiaGluten-FreeHelp with Weight LossHelps Decrease Menopausal and Hormonal Imbalance SymptomsContain High-Quality ProteinAnti-Inflammation
