Herbs & Algae

Berberine is an alkaloid found in high concentrations in the roots of the barberry (Berberis aristata). Barberry is a shrub native to India, Pakistan and Bhutan. It has a long tradition of use in Indian, Chinese and European herbalism and has been the focus of research for several years due to its diverse range of effects.

This freshwater algae is characterised above all by its extraordinarily high chlorophyll content and the unique compound contained in its cell nucleus known as chlorella growth factor (CGF). Different methods of cultivation and production (e.g., cultivation in glass-roofed basins, open-air basins with direct sunlight or in light-flooded glass tubes) can influence factors such as flavour, chlorophyll and amino acid production, as well as the algae's final nutrient profile. We offer premium Chlorella vulgaris algae sourced from Chikugo, Japan. It is rich in nutrients and has an exceptionally bioavailable nano cell wall and high chlorophyll content. This unique algae secretes bioactive polysaccharides which enhances its bioavailability.

The purple coneflower (Echinacea purpureae) is a plant from the composite family. The red to pink flowering Echinacea originally comes from the steppes of North America and was used there by the indigenous peoples for all kinds of applications.

The dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) has been known in botany since ancient times and has a number of special phytochemicals, which are mainly found in the root.

The seeds of milk thistle (Silybum marianum) contain a flavonoid spectrum known as silymarin, which is made up of the substances silibinin, silydianin and silychristin. Milk thistle has been used in herbal medicine since ancient times.

This freshwater algae, also known as Arthrospira platensis, is actually a type of cyanobacterium (also called blue-green algae). It is characterised above all by its extraordinarily high nutrient density and rich phycocyanin content, a plant pigment which gives the blue-green algae its naturally blue undertone. We offer the original Spirulina pacifica from Hawai'i, which has been cultivated on the Kona coast and spray dried using a patented method to retain more than 90% of the algae's valuable ingredients.
