CONSUMER INFORMATION

 

 

HERBAMEL WITH GINSENG is an excellent tonic for the organism, helps combat problems related to physical and mental stress. It is also often used as an aphrodisiac, one of the properties of Ginseng. The advantage of this product is that it unites the vigorous action of Pfaffia paniculata and honey, one of nature’s most complete foodstuffs.

 

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

 

Pfaffia paniculata is better known as Brazilian Ginseng for its similar chemical and physical structure when compared to the Korean ginseng. This bush reaches 1 to 1.5 mt. tall and is found in the whole of Brazil, usually near river courses, especially in the States of São Paulo, Paraná, Mato Grosso and Goiás. It is considered an excellent tonic, eliminating physical and mental fatigue and soothing stress problems, as well as offering vitamins and mineral salts to the organism.

 

Its composition presents the following compounds: vitamins A, B, C, D, E and F, pfafic acid, faphosideos, estigmesterol, sitosterol, alantoina, amino acids, starches, saponines and mineral salts (phosphorus, calcium and potassium).

 

Researchers believe that saponines called pfaffosides A, B, C, D, E and F are fundamental in activities credited to the ginseng root when used, as it diminishes superficial tension and thus helps the action of other substances.

Ginseng also fortifies the heart, helping in circulatory problems as well as helping to increase the red globules in the blood. It also helps in cerebral functions, contributing to a clearer sense of reasoning as well as favoring the action of other substances and augmenting the body’s resistance to infections.

 

At Uniflora we produce the ginseng extract from the plant’s root, under strict extracting and hygiene conditions rigorously controlled, so as to guarantee a very high therapeutic power of the product.

 

 

The honey is produced by bees from the nectar in flowers. It is a rich, nutritive food, which presents mainly sugars in its composition, of rapid assimilation by the organism, together with mineral salts (potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, etc.) amino-acids, enzymes and vitamins. It has the following properties: expectorant, fluidity, a healing process and as an anti-septic.

 

The honey used at Uniflora comes from registered producers, with constant surveillance in their production to guarantee maximum quality. All lots received are rigorously analyzed, not only with reference to its purity, but also the hygienic conditions of the extract that gives the quality to its product.

ALCOHOLIC GRADUATION

 

The extracts of plants utilized in the production of blended honeys are obtained by utilizing a vehicle extractor (ethanol). The addition of these extracts to the honey leaves the final product with a small quantity of alcohol that is then graduated. The higher the alcohol graduation, the higher quantity of alcohol there is in the product.

 

 

We give below the various references of our product "Honey with Brazilian Ginseng."

To evaluate the quantity of alcohol present in a product, we can make a comparison with beer, widely consumed in our daily lives.

 

1 soup-spoon of HERBAMEL with Ginseng…………………….………….0,4g of alcohol

1 glass of beer (200 ml)………………………………………………………10g of alcohol

 

 

One dose of Herbamel has 25 times less alcohol than a glass of beer.

 

 

 

STORAGE

 

 

The jars should be stored in a cool place, away from direct sunlight.

 

Care in temperature control should also be exercised and is recommended, since high temperatures (over 45º C) can alter some of the characteristics of honey and the additional extracts, thus diminishing its vigor in the organism, and low temperatures favor (and accelerate) the natural process of crystallization of the honey, which does not actually hinder the properties of the product, but requires the heating under a hot-water-bath to un-crystallize the product.

 

 

 

PRODUCT VALIDITY

 

 

This product remains in perfect condition for 2 years after its production date.

 

Do not consume this product after the recommended "use by" or expiry date.
