General information about betulin
Betulin is obtained from the white part of the birch bark (Betula pendula L.) – the sap. The sap is formed by a triterpene alcohol bioflavonoid, which is named betulin. Betulin is a white powder with a tannic, bitter taste and a characteristic sap odor, soluble in alcohol and other organic solvents, insoluble in water. Under the influence of digestive enzymes, the bioavailability of betulin increases. Betulin remains stable when cooked. The spectrum of pharmacological activity of betulin is interconnected, many aspects of action complement each other. The main properties of betulin are hepatoprotective, choleretic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antimutagenic, hypocholesterolemic, antiviral, immunomodulatory, hypolipidemic, antihypoxant, gastroprotective, neuroprotective and antiseptic action. Betulin is non-toxic and has no side effects, but it should be noted that using betulin increases tolerance to alcohol – you get significantly less intoxicated, as the liver's detoxification capabilities are enhanced. Studies show that betulin has an extremely broad and positive spectrum of effects on biological organisms, without side effects.
An important property of betulin is its ability to prevent atherosclerosis. The vascular endothelium is susceptible to damage caused by pathogenic microorganisms, especially viruses. Herpes, cytomegalovirus infection viruses cause inflammation of the endothelium and morphological damage, on these damage, lipoproteins are deposited in patches; and so on, patch by patch, until atherosclerosis develops with pronounced vascular frigidity and narrowed lumen. Betulin inhibits viral replication and improves the barrier function of the endothelium. A surprising discovery is that betulin, at a dose of 10 mg/kg of weight, affects cholesterol synthesis in the liver and reduces cholesterol levels in the blood, thereby preventing the formation of atherosclerotic deposits on the walls of the arteries, and also helps to get rid of excess weight. The mechanism of action of this process is that betulin interacts with blood proteins that bind sterol-regulatory elements – SREBPs (sterol regulatory element-binding proteins), reduces the activity of SREBPs and secondarily also the level of lipids in the blood.
Many studies have proven the effectiveness of betulin in the following cases:
• Chronic inflammatory process in the body
• Long-term use of medications (any), use of many medications at the same time
.• Fatty liver dystrophy, chronic and acute hepatitis A, B, С, gallstone disease.
• Oncological diseases, as an accompanying therapy, together with cytostatic drugs
• Frequent contact with toxic substances.
• Alcoholism, acute hangover syndrome, the need to quickly "cleanse", drug intoxication.
• Lipid metabolism disorders, elevated cholesterol levels, obesity.
• Atherosclerosis, heart and brain circulatory disorders, hypertensive disease, chronic heart failure, memory disorders caused by atherosclerosis, circulatory disorders in the legs.
• Acute viral infections – influenza, herpes, cytomegalovirus infection and Roth disease.
• Weak immune system with frequent cases of tonsillitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis.
• For skin renewal – betulin stimulates collagen synthesis and improves capillary blood circulation.
• In case of antibiotic resistance – enhances the effectiveness of beta-lactam and macrolide antibiotics.
• For food preservation – the antioxidant action of betulin delays food spoilage and extends its shelf life.
General information about Icelandic lichen
Iceland moss (Cetraria Islandica) is a lichen up to 12 cm high with branched lobes. It grows on sandy soils in silts, tundra and mountains. The moss grows poorly or does not grow at all with the substrate. Distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, in the South - in the mountains.
It is widely used as a medicinal plant. Contains a bitter substance - cetraric acid, carbohydrates - lichenin (30-70%), essential oils, sugars, etc. In medicine, it is used to stimulate appetite and digestion, against acute respiratory diseases, cough, inflammation of the digestive organs, etc. Iceland moss has an astringent, healing, strongly pronounced antimicrobial effect, it is used as a general strengthening agent for pulmonary tuberculosis, whooping cough, bronchial asthma.
Iceland moss is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics, containing usnic acid, which inhibits the growth of bacteria. If Iceland moss is dried and ground, the resulting powder can be used to treat purulent wounds, it is also used in folk medicine for kidney, bladder, tonsillitis, bronchitis, furunculosis and other purulent inflammations.
The recommended dose is up to 1.5 g 3 times a day. Use in children under 12 years of age is not recommended due to the lack of adequate safety data.
