Shii-Take Capsules

The hawthorn (Crataegus) is native to the northern regions of Europe. Alongside paths and hedgerows, it can be recognised from May to June by its lush, white flourish of blossom and, later on, by its shiny red fruit. Together with the petals, the sharp thorns spread along the branches give the plant its name. The most important contents of hawthorn leaves are flavonoids, which belong to the secondary plant substances. We have added iron and folic acid (folate). The following effects are scientifically confirmed: Iron and folate contribute towards the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Iron supports a normal energy metabolism and the transport of oxygen in the body. Folic acid has function in cell division and contributes towards normal production of blood.

Vitamin E is one of the fat-soluble vitamins our body needs but cannot produce itself. It therefore relies on sufficient supply through nutrition. As recently confirmed by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) vitamin E as an anti-oxidant makes a contribution towards protecting the cells against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can be caused by smoking, increased UV radiation or other environmental influences. Each Vitamin E 200 I.U. capsule contains 134 mg natural Vitamin E., corresponding with 200 International Units (I.U.).

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride, or NADH or coenzyme 1 for short, is the biologically active form of vitamin B3 (niacin). In our bodies, NADH acts as a biological spark plug for numerous metabolic processes by enabling the normal progression of chemical reactions. For example, it integrates hydrogen into the respiratory chain and plays a role in energy-forming processes in our body cells. Due to its unique properties, NADH is highly unstable with regard to light and oxygen. Therefore, we make use of an especially stabilised NADH to retain its efficacy.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural element of the skin, connective tissue, fluid in the joints (synovia, joint lubrication) and cartilage. Its ability to absorb large amounts of water is remarkable. Vitamin C contributes towards normal production of collagen, and therefore the normal, healthy function of bones, cartilage and skin. Each capsule contains 80 mg vitamin C and 400 mg pure hyaluronic acid.
