BIOACTIVES | MUSHROOMS

Adaptogens are biologically active phytochemicals which enhance plants' abilities to adapt; indeed, the term is actually derived from the Latin word "adaptare" meaning "to adapt." Countless phytochemicals have been known to traditional herbalists around the world for decades.

Freshwater and seawater algae are considered to be among the most powerful superfoods. Their intense green colour results from chlorophyll, a natural pigment common to all plant cells. Chlorophyll allows plant cells to carry out photosynthesis.

Antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and selenium are important compounds which support the body in protecting cells against oxidative stress. Fresh foods, including algae, fruits and berries, contain a whole range of valuable supporting phytochemicals, such as carotenoids, polyphenols and flavonoids.

Bitter compounds are important secondary phytochemicals that lend foods their characteristic tart aroma and have long been valued in traditional herbalism. However, these natural substances have become rare in modern diets. Discover our alcohol-free bitter drops, SUNVITA^® fermented drinks with bitter compounds or botanical extracts in capsule form to support your well-being.

Chemical messengers are important substances in the body, primarily becaue they fulfil the task of exchanging information between cells and thus transmitting signals. Hormones and neurotransmitters are two well-known messengers produced by the body. 5-HTP, GABA and melatonin fall into this essential category.

Skin and joints often work in tandem to support the body – so do the substances that contribute to their maintenance by supporting cartilage and bones.

Plants have been an integral part of our diet for thousands of years. As well as providing us with nourishing macronutrients, they also contain essential micronutrients and valuable secondary phytochemicals. We enhance the concentrated power of plants with the help of our high-quality extraction processes using water and/or food-grade alcohol.

Plants form a foundational component of human nutrition, carrying a diverse matrix of natural compounds. Our comprehensive portfolio harnesses this botanical spectrum, delivering these active constituents in concentrated formulations.

Sugar isn't always merely a sweetener; certain types, such as those offered here, serve crucial functions in the body. Due to their lower glycaemic index, functional sugars are also suitable as an alternative to normal household sugar and have unique profiles and benefits. Our functional sugars come from completely plant-based sources; non-GMO and no additives.

Functional mushrooms are special edible mushrooms that have been valued for thousands of years for their special ingredients. In addition to their widespread use in Asia, they have also been known in Europe for centuries, for example from the famous discovery of the ice mummy Oetzi in South Tyrol (3200 BC), alongside whom functional mushrooms were found.
