A simple and reliable method to see if a preparation has an effect on endurance and fatigue, is to conduct an animal experiment. It may sound cruel, but it is real proof. In an experiment in which mice are forced to swim until they are completely exhausted, it can be measured if mice that have received a supplement have greater endurance. This test used supplementation with a (hot) water extract of Cordyceps sinensis (rich in polysaccharides) to significantly increase endurance and decrease fatigue, partly by improving stress tolerance. The acute stress situation led to the control animals increasing pressure on the adrenal glands and reducing the size of the liver, spleen, thymus and thyroid functions. In the animals that received cordyceps extract, no effect was measured on the stress scale and the weight of these organs. In other words, despite the incredible stress of being to swim for their lives, mice did not react adversely to stress becasue of Cordyceps sinensis. Image all the stressed out people out there… Imagine how good it would be for their health to take Cordyceps sinensis! Cordyceps sinensis can also benefit people by improving energy production, antioxidant uptake, immunocompetence and stress resistance to delay the aging process. Cordyceps Sinensis and sexuality and fertility Cordyceps sinensis is known as an aphrodisiac, which increases the libido in both men and women. This is especially considered to be the case with those people above… a certain age. This is partly because Cordyceps sinensis enhances the biosynthesis of steroid hormones (such as cortisol, testosterone and estrogen). The production of these hormones decreases with age, leading to a decrease of the libido. Who needs blue chemical pills, when there is such a natural, healthy option? Cordyceps has also been used traditionally for a long time to enhance the fertility of both men and women. Scientists believe that Cordyceps is a suitable supplement for enhancing female fertility and improving the success rate of in-vitro fertilization. In-vitro studies have shown that Cordyceps sinensis produces 17ß-estradiol (by ovary cells) and dose-dependently stimulates the expression of enzymes, including StAR (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein) and aromatase. - Read More about this website...

VISIOLAN hat sich ausschließlich der Natur und ihrer Wunderwelt der Krauter & Gewurze verschrieben. Wir mochten diese Heilkrafte wieder in das Bewusstsein der Menschen rucken, denn viel Wissen und Erfahrung im Umgang von Heilkrautern sind bereits seit vielen tausend Jahren in den verschiedensten Kulturkreisen bekannt. Bedingt durch den heutigen hektischen Alltag neigen wir mit einem kurzen Gang zur Apotheke allerdings dazu, uns schnellwirkender Medikamente zu bedienen. Leider sind die meist rein chemisch basierten Wirkstoffe nicht immer nebenwirkungsfrei und gehen eher auf die Symptome, als auf die Ursache des Problems ein. Aufgrund der Omniprasenz dieser Medikamente ist das Wissen um die Heilkrafte der Natur mehr und mehr in den Hintergrund geruckt. Wir mochten unseren Beitrag dazu leisten, dass sich die Menschen wieder vermehrt auf die Natur besinnen und von ihren vielen Vorzugen profitieren. Denn wir sind fest davon uberzeugt: die Kraft der Natur kann man nutzen. Mit unseren Produkten wollen wir unseren Kunden eine Alternative bieten und dabei bewusst entschleunigen: Heilkrauter benotigen meist eine gewisse Zeit, um ihre Wirkung im Korper frei zu entfalten, sind dafur aber in der Regel vollig frei von Nebenwirkungen. Seit Grundung achten wir penibel auf die Gute unserer Produkte. Darum stehen wir ganz klar fur „back to nature” und setzten auf Natur anstatt Chemie. Wir nutzen ausschließlich hochwertigste Pflanzen und gewinnen ihren Extrakt in den jeweils dafur besten und schonendsten Verfahren. - Read More about this website...
