NUPREM PLUS

Acai provides the highest antioxidant protection of all known natural substances with an ORAC value *1 (Oxygen Radical Absorbing Capacity) of over 100,000. Compared to acai, the ORAC values for mangosteen juice, for example, are 17,000 and for pomegranates only 3,100.

If you want to lose weight, L-carnitine is almost indispensable as a dietary supplement. It is synthesized by the body from the amino acids methionine and lysine and is primarily responsible for energy production within the cells. Since L-carnitine also boosts fat burning, it can act as a real “fat melter” in calorie-reduced diets and competitive sports. The only significant sources of L-carnitine in food (meat and dairy products) are all of animal origin; only nuts and seeds, as well as some types of vegetables and fruit, contain traces of L-carnitine. Anyone who does not eat animal products (vegetarians and vegans; some allergy sufferers) should therefore ensure they consume L-carnitine from external sources while on a diet! NOBUSAN has therefore added it to its NUPREM dietary supplement.

Calcium is not only the main building block for bones and teeth, but also plays an important role in blood clotting, muscle and nerve function, and the prevention of allergic reactions. Its bone-strengthening effect—particularly important for those with an increased tendency toward osteoporosis—is most effective in combination with vitamin D3, which the body can only produce itself through exposure to sunlight. When you consider that an adult body can “store” up to 1.4 kilograms (!) of calcium, the importance of this mineral becomes clear.

IMPORTANT: If you have a family history of osteoporosis, do not eat dairy products, suffer from any allergies, or, for example, mosquito bites always swell up extremely and itch for a long time, you should permanently increase your calcium intake significantly – up to 1200 mg per day. Such high doses cannot be achieved through diet alone. In these cases, use supplements such as those from NOBUSAN. Since water-soluble calcium is excreted via body fluids (urine, sweat, feces), side effects from long-term maximum doses (>1500 mg/day) are only to be expected if fluid intake is consistently insufficient. They can manifest themselves in urinary stones and hypercalcemia (excessive calcium levels) in the blood and organs. Therefore, drink at least 2, preferably 3 liters daily and have your calcium levels checked regularly by your doctor if you are taking additional supplements.

Calcium is found in all dairy products, green vegetables, oatmeal, nuts, and some mineral waters. (Black tea and phosphates in sausage products, processed cheese, soft drinks, etc. have been found to inhibit calcium absorption; however, as these foods have no significant nutritional value and many disadvantages, it should not be too difficult to avoid consuming them regularly. The situation is different with large quantities of recommended foods such as whole grains, legumes, spinach, or rhubarb. These also reduce calcium absorption somewhat, but should not be eliminated from the diet. Just don't overdo it.

Symptoms of calcium deficiency include a tendency to break bones, dental problems (enamel erosion, periodontitis), and excessive allergic reactions. The most serious long-term consequence of calcium deficiency is definitely osteoporosis (decrease in bone density/bone softening) in old age.

Vitamin D deficiency is very common in our latitudes. The reason for this is that we don't expose ourselves to enough sunlight. Why is this a problem? Because although the body can produce vitamin D itself from various precursors (cholesterol), it needs sufficient light to do so! Although around 20 minutes of “sunbathing” every day would be enough, most of our skin is usually covered by clothing or protected by sunscreen or makeup! This means that almost always, too little UV radiation actually reaches and penetrates the skin. If you are not extremely sensitive to the sun, you should switch to cosmetic products without UV filters and avoid direct sunlight; indirect sunlight (just sunlight) is just as effective. Even in winter, cover only as much skin as is necessary to feel comfortably warm. The ideal is to leave your face and neck uncovered, as well as your forearms and hands. It is almost impossible to meet your daily requirement of this important vitamin, which effectively supports the absorption of phosphorus and calcium in the blood and the incorporation of calcium into bone tissue, from food alone, as it is found in very few foods. Supplementing with appropriate vital substance preparations is therefore advisable for almost all Europeans, and vitamin D3 is a component of some NOBUSAN preparations.

Vitamin D3 is found in fatty fish (fish oil), liver, some types of margarine, mushrooms, and egg yolks.

Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include low bone density, osteoporosis, and some immune deficiencies that are often labeled as “psychological.” The protective effect of vitamin D against certain types of cancer, heart failure, type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as its healing effect on psoriasis, is also under discussion.

Bezeichnet man auch als das „Zellschutz-Trio“ unter den Vitaminen. Eine Vollversorgung ohne zusätzliche Supplementierung erscheint nur mit einer konsequent gesunden Lebensweise und den von der DEG empfohlenen 5 bis 6 Gemüse-/Obstrationen pro Tag möglich. Nikotin-, Alkohol- und Zuckerkonsum erhöhen zusätzlich den Bedarf an diesen unverzichtbaren Zellschutzvitaminen.

B-Vitamine (zu denen auch Niacin, Pantothensäure, Folsäure und Biotin zählen) sind essenziell für die Vitalversorgung der Nerven sowie für Haut, Nägel und Haare. Die Vitamine der B-Gruppe sind unverzichtbar für die Verarbeitung von nervlichen Reizen und für die Gesunderhaltung der Psyche. Wenn Du selbst versuchst, eine Antwort auf die Frage zu finden, welche Vitamine gut für das Immunsystem sind, kommst Du an B-Vitaminen nicht vorbei. B-Vitamine können Krankheitserreger erkennen, das Zellwachstum fördern, die Schleimhäute intakt halten und vor oxidativem Stress schützen. B-Vitamine sind deshalb unverzichtbar für die organische Gesunderhaltung. Enthalten sind B-Vitamine vor allem in Fleischprodukten, aber auch in Vollkornprodukten, Hülsenfrüchten und Vitaminpräparaten.

With their beautiful deep purple color, eggplants (Solanum melongena) are not only eye-catching at every market stall and a delicious ingredient in many Mediterranean dishes, but above all, they are healthy. In addition to vitamins B1, B2, and B6, eggplants—yes, eggplants are not vegetables, but botanically speaking, fruits! – full of fat-soluble, cholesterol-binding fiber as well as antibacterial, antioxidant, carcinogenic terpenes, and caffeic acid. Their stomach-protecting effect is also worth mentioning. They are therefore included as a valuable ingredient in some NOBUSAN preparations.

We mostly know artichokes (Cynara scolymus) as tasty antipasti or as the main ingredient in the popular schnapps Cynar. But this pretty thistle plant from the Mediterranean region can do much more: it can stimulate digestion, protect the liver and gallbladder, and lower cholesterol levels. Artichoke preparations are particularly beneficial after fatty meals, as flavonoids and bitter compounds such as cynaropicrin stimulate the secretion of stomach acid, thereby promoting the breakdown and removal of fats. This prevents bloating and flatulence—and improved fat digestion can actually lower cholesterol levels over time. NOBUSAN therefore uses high-dose artichoke extract primarily to support the liver, gallbladder, stomach, and intestines.

Spirulina algae, also known as microalgae or blue-green algae, belong to the cyanobacteria genus. The proteins in Spirulina platensis contain all essential amino acids and B vitamins, including B12, vitamin E, and high levels of iron, calcium, and magnesium. Spirulina strengthens the immune system and is valued for its positive effects on cancer and allergies. Its antiviral effect on the pathogen that causes Pfeiffer's glandular fever has been scientifically proven. For all these reasons, the dried power algae is also found in NOBUSAN recipes.

Mediterranean cuisine is considered a recommendation for a heart-healthy diet. In addition to lots of fresh vegetables and good oil, a glass of red wine is not only a culinary delight, but also promotes good health thanks to the flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals it contains. Red wine also contains another treasure: the polyphenol resveratrol, which promotes cell metabolism prevents blood platelets from sticking together and thus counteracts arteriosclerosis. If only it weren't for the alcohol, which even healthy people should only consume in moderation (and which is completely off-limits for some)! NOBUSAN, on the other hand, can offer you the benefits of red wine in a safe, pure powder form.

Vitamins A and C, as well as calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, sodium, and phosphorus form the basis of papaya extract. Supplemented by the enzyme papain, the active ingredient profile ensures optimal intestinal cleansing and digestive regulation. But that's not all! Papaya extract also contains vitamins B1, B2, and niacin, as well as the radical scavenger lycopene, which help strengthen the immune, cellular, and nervous systems and can promote long-term health.

The maracuja (Passiflora edulis) is an exotic fruit that belongs to the passion flower family. This refreshing tropical berry is also known as passion fruit; the suffix “edulis” means “edible.” The climbing plant is native to Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina, but is now cultivated worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions. The name passion flower was given to it by the Jesuits who came to South America in the 17th century. They regarded the plant with its strikingly beautiful flowers as a symbol of the suffering of Christ. The oval to round passion fruit tastes sour and sweet and can be eaten fresh or processed into juice. It is rich in vitamin C, niacin, and riboflavin, and thus also supports energy and protein metabolism in some >NOBUSAN preparations. An oil is extracted from the seeds, which is used in cosmetics production, among other things. The flowers and leaves of the passion flower are used in teas and preparations to promote calmness and sleep, for example.

With their distinctive aroma, fresh mangoes (Mangifera indica) have been enriching our cuisine for many years. However, these tropical fruits not only taste delicious, they also provide many valuable vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. These include vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as copper, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and zinc, all of which are highly bioavailable. Mangoes can therefore stimulate the metabolism, prevent infections, protect our cells, calm the nerves, and even strengthen skin and hair color. The mango tree originates from East India, where it has been cultivated for over 4,000 years. Today, it is grown in all countries with a suitable hot and humid climate. The evergreen tree can grow up to 45 meters high, and the fruit can weigh up to two kilograms, depending on the variety. The color of the skin ranges from green to yellow and orange to red, but this does not indicate the ripeness of the fruit. Mangoes are ideal for consumption when they are neither too hard nor too soft. The exotic mango, with all its health-promoting properties, is included in some NOBUSAN products.

Sour makes you slim and happy – at least that's what people in Hollywood have believed since the 1930s, which is why they use grapefruit (Citrus aurantium) as a natural fat blocker. The reason is simple: antioxidant vitamins and other vital substances in bitter-sour grapefruit stimulate fat and sugar metabolism, while the fruit's own bitter substance, naringin, curbs appetite, further stimulates the liver and thus fat breakdown, and thus purifies the body. Naringin is just one of the valuable flavonoids found in grapefruit, which, with its high vitamin C content, also makes a valuable contribution to strengthening the immune system. In addition, as our grandmothers already knew, this vitamin bomb helps to combat high cholesterol levels and diabetes. The fiber pectin also has a positive effect on blood sugar levels and promotes digestion. An extract from the seeds and peel of grapefruit also contains valuable bioflavonoids and vitamin C. They make hair shine, combat skin and mucous membrane irritations, ensure fresh breath and a radiant complexion. Enough reasons for NOBUSAN to use the power of grapefruit in its products.

IMPORTANT: In recent years, the active ingredients in grapefruit have been suspected of drastically increasing the effect of certain medications (e.g., cholesterol and blood pressure medications, antihistamines, cancer medications, immunosuppressants, antibiotics, neuroleptics, and beta blockers) and, in some cases, of reducing their effect! Therefore, before taking grapefruit extracts, ask your doctor about this interaction and, above all, do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice if you are taking these medications.

The amino acid L-cysteine is essential for many detoxification functions within the cell.
