Senna is an Arabian name and the herb was first
brought into use by the Arabian physicians Serapion
and Mesue. Traditionally Senna was used in love sachets.
Plants growing at different localities of India have also been
found to contain different amount of sennoside B in leaves and
pods, and also differ in chromosome morphology. The leaves
and pods of this plant contain the commercially important laxative sennoside B.

Medicinal Values 

Senna is an excellent laxative.
Senna is employed in treating many other ailments like, anemia,
typhoid, cholera, jaundice, rheumatism, gout, tumours, probably in
leprosy, in splenic enlargement, foul breath and bronchitis.
It is also used in the treatment of amoebic dysentery
and a mild liver stimulant.
Effective in constipation, thermogenic, cathartic, liver
tonic, abdominal disorders, leucoderma, splenomegaly,
hepatomegaly, dyspepsia, cough and skin disorders.

in improving / lightening constipation.

Forskolin - Coleus Forskohlii

Coleus forskohlii has been traditionally used to treat high
blood pressure. Other benefits include help in losing weight,
improving digestion and nutrient absorption, fighting cancer,
and immune system support. The active photochemical in Coleus
forskohlii, forskolin, was discovered in 1974 and has been the subject
of many laboratory studies. The compound has a vast array of effects
on the body, working primarily on an enzymatic level, raising the level of
cyclic AMP (adenosine 3.5 - monophosphate) a substance that activates
all sorts of other cellular enzymes.

      Forskolin (7 beta-acetoxy-8, 13-epoxy-1 alpha,6 beta,
9 alpha-trihydroxy-labd-14-ene-11-one) is the main active
ingredient in the Ayurvedic herb Coleus forskohlii. Coleus
is a member of the mint family and grows in subtropical areas
in India, Burma, and Thialand. Forskolin has been extensively
researched in the medical field for use in the treatment of allergies,
respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, glaucoma, psoriasis,
hypothyroidism and weight loss. Forskolin increases Cyclic AMP and
appears to have additional actions that are due to its ability to alter a
number of membrane transport proteins.

Effects of Coleus on Cyclic AMP
      Increased cellular cyclic AMP results in inhibition
of platelet activation, decreased likelihood of blood clots,
reduced release of histamine, decreased allergy symptoms,
increased force of contraction of the heart, relaxation of the arteries
and other smooth muscles, increased thyroid function, increased fat
metabolism, increased energy and possibly weight loss. Cyclic AMP
and the chemicals it activates comprise a second messenger system
that is responsible for carrying out the complex and powerful

effects of hormones in the body.

      In addition, asthma, eczema, psoriasis, angina, obesity and
hypertension are believed to be associated with decreased Cyclic AMP.

Coleus with Asthma and Allergies
      Coleus is an effective smooth muscle relaxer, resulting in
bronchodilation, decreased airway resistance, increased vital capacity
and increased forced expiratory volume. This action is the result of the
increase in Cyclic AMP caused by coleus. Many asthma medications increase
Cyclic AMP by inhibiting the enzymes that cause its breakdown. Thus,
coleus and the traditional asthma drugs are likely to act synergistically.
Therefore, one should consult their physician before combining them.

Coleus and Weight Loss
      In vitro (studies done in the lab) studies show that coleus stimulates
fat metabolism. Researchers have found that many obese people have
lower than normal Cyclic AMP production. Because of these considerations,
coleus may, theoretically, be a weight loss agent, especially for those with reduced
Cyclic AMP production. In a recent study, six overweight women took 25 mg of
coleus (250 mg capsules of 10% standardized forskolin extract) twice daily for
eight weeks. At the end of the eight-week trial, the participants lost a mean of ten
pounds, and reduced their percentage of body fat by nearly 8%. Blood pressure
levels also trended lower during the trial.

Curcumin is a  water soluble orange-yellow coloured powder. Curcumin is one of three curcuminoids of turmeric. The other two curcuminoids are demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin.

Distribution:

Curcumin is obtained by solvent extraction from dried turmeric roots.

Properties

Curcumin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antifungal actions. Studies have shown that curcumin is not toxic to humans. Curcumin exerts anti-inflammatory activity by inhibition of a number of different molecules that play an important role in inflammation. Turmeric is effective in reducing post-surgical inflammation. Turmeric helps to prevent atherosclerosis by reducing the formation of bloods clumps.

Curcumin inhibits the growth of Helicobacter pylori, which causes gastric ulcers and has been linked with gastric cancers.

Curcumin can bind with heavy metals such as cadmium and lead, thereby reducing the toxicity of these heavy metals. This property of curcumin explains its protective action to the brain. Curcumin acts as an inhibitor for cyclooxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase and glutathione S-transferase.

Facts about Cumin

Curcumin is used many foods as colouring, including mustard, margarine, processed cheese, cakes, curry powder, soft drinks and sweets.

Synonyms

 1,7-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione, turmeric yellow

Garcinia Cambogia Extract

Product Specification : 60% HCA
Latin Name: Garcinia Cambogia.
Product Type: Fine gray white powdered extract
Part of the Plant Used: Fruit
Extract Method: Grain Alcohol/Water

What is Garcinia Cambogia extract?
Hydroxycitric acid (HCA), is the active ingredient extracted from the rind of a little pumpkin-like fruit, Garcinia cambogia, from India and Southeast Asia. Dietary supplements and a wide variety of weight loss formulas, contain Garcinia extract to inhibit fat production and suppress appetite. A number of products include extracts (about 50% HCA) under the brand names Citrin (Sabinsa) and CitriMax (InterHealth) and a new one called Regulator is a 98% pure potassium HCA from a small Irish supplement company.

HCA can inhibit an enzyme in cells, citrate lyase, which is needed for the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. In the cell, carbohydrates are broken down into citrate compounds, which are then converted (by citrate lyase) into another compound; acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA) – the metabolic building block for fat synthesis. By blocking the conversion of citrate into acetyl-CoA, HCA can suppress fat synthesis. Acetyl CoA is further converted into malonyl CoA, a compound which may block the actions of carnitine acyltransferase in shuttling fatty acids into the mitochondria to be burned. It is important to note, however, that the citrate lyase enzyme, is only significantly active under conditions of carbohydrate overconsumption. In others words, unless you’re eating a lot of carbohydrate-type foods (bagels, pasta, potatoes), and overloading your carbohydrate storage capacity (muscle and liver glycogen stores) there is no significant conversion of carbohydrates into fatty acids anyway (and HCA may not work for you). If, however, you’re chowing down on low-fat high-carb foods at every meal, then your glycogen stores will be over-flowing and your citrate lyase enzymes are going to be working over time converting those excess carbs to fat. OK, so now that you’ve blocked the fat production, you have to do something with those excess carbs. They can’t be stored as glycogen because those stores in liver and muscle are already full, so it is thought that the body disposes of them by increasing carbohydrate oxidation (burning them). As a result of these fully loaded glycogen stores, some researchers have suggested that a "side effect" of HCA supplementation may be a suppression of appetite – which would reduce food intake and promote weight loss.

There are no serious adverse side effects associated with intake of Garcinia cambogia or hydroxycitric acid supplements aside form some minor gastrointestinal distress induced by high doses.
