Cholesterol is essential for the healthy functioning of cells in the body. It is an important component of cell membranes and is used to make steroid hormones and bile salts. Most of the cholesterol in the body is found in cells, with a small amount circulating in the
blood. Approximately 75% of the cholesterol in our body is produced by the body, with the remaining 25% coming from the diet. In the liver cholesterol and fat are made into lipoproteins. As these lipoproteins circulate in the blood they lose fat to muscle cells, where the fat is used for energy, or to fat cells where the fat is stored.

Raspberry leaf has traditionally been used in pregnancy to help the mother prepare for the birth. It is thought that raspberry leaf may build up the strength of the uterine muscle, leading to an easier
birth. Raspberry leaf appears to have two different actions. It can help to relax uterine muscle, as well as initiate contractions. Research suggests that raspberry leaf may help reduce the risk of uncoordinated uterine action, by regulating the action of the uterine
muscle. An Australian study found that raspberry leaf can reduce the duration of the second stage of
labour

Mustard oils, the pungent compounds found in horseradish, are thought to be the constituents which give it its traditionally recognised decongestant effect. Horseradish has been used to help clear the respiratory passages. Garlic has traditionally been used for the relief of respiratory catarrh, recurrent colds, and
flu. Garlix®, contains both alliin and allinase and exhibits a standardised allicin-releasing potential equivalent to 1.4 mg of allicin per tablet (allicin is one of the
sulphur- containing compounds responsible for the antimicrobial action of
garlic). Fenugreek acts as a demulcent which helps to soothe inflamed mucous

Zinc is a mineral which is important for the proper functioning of the immune system. It is important in healthy skin and wound healing. Low zinc levels can increase susceptibility to infection, poor wound healing and skin
disorders. Betacarotene is a precursor to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin function and
repair. Echinacea and calendula have traditionally been used for their anti-inflammatory properties. Echinacea has been shown to stimulate the immune system.

Investigation continues to determine how St John’s Wort works physiologically, and several mechanisms of action have been proposed. Although no single constituent of the plant can be considered to be responsible for the therapeutic action of the herb, hypericin (an oil-soluble anthraquinone glycoside) is considered to be an integral part of its action. The clinical studies showing that St John’s Wort is an effective treatment for low mood or despondency, used an extract of the leaves, stems and flowers standardised to contain 0.33% of hypericin.
