Macerate of sweet wormwood 200ml and Piskavica Plus 250g

Sweet Wormwood Macerate in black cumin oil (Macerat 14) is your ideal ally in the fight against viruses, bacteria and fungi and regulation of immunity in a natural way, and Fenugreek Plus is the richest natural source of iron and an ideal complement to sweet wormwood.

The action of Macerat 14 is based on the synergy of medicinal herbs and cold-pressed oil. Sweet wormwood is immersed (macerated) in black cumin oil for a period of six weeks, which "binds" its medicinal properties.

Fenugreek Plus is a nutritional supplement based on medicinal plants and the best plant source of iron with as much as 33mg in 100g of product.

4 complementary herbs have been added to fenugreek, making this mixture a complete phytotherapeutic preparation:

• fenugreek seeds (eng.fenugreek) are also called "Greek seeds" because, according to folklore, the ancient Greeks used them for strength before battle. Today, they are mostly used in cooking.
• sikavica
• dried skin of black grapes
• turmeric
• oat seeds - a good source of selenium, beta glucan and indigestible fiber
  
  

What science says about sweet wormwood and black cumin

Black cumin

A plant that ancient peoples say " heals everything except death ".

• With its multiple nutritional and phytochemical compounds, black cumin oil becomes one of the better ingredients for balancing and supporting innate and acquired immune function ( 7,8,9).

Sweet wormwood

It is traditionally used in Chinese medicine for various purposes.

• This medicinal plant is best known for treating malaria (10), but it is also used to reduce fever and swelling (10). However, recent studies also point to the potential of artemisinin and related compounds from sweet wormwood, commonly called artemisinins, in fighting viral infections, inflammation and certain types of mutated cells and formations(11).

• Initial studies indicate positive effects of artemisinin in combating SARS-CoV-2 infection or symptoms associated with COVID-19 and clinical studies under the supervision of the WHO on the potential of artemisinin in the fight against COVID-19 are currently ongoing (11).
