Polypodiumleucotomos (PPL) is the source of the Fernblock which is the main component of Heliocare products. "PPL is a tropical fern native to Central America, which developed defence mechanisms during its ancestral passage from aquatic life to terrestrial life and acquired an anti-UV (ultraviolet) defence mode. It has been used for centuries by Amerindians, particularly in the treatment of certain inflammatory diseases such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. The first studies on this molecule date back to 1996 and it was the work of Gonzales that highlighted the antioxidant action of PPL. Digging into the bibliography, we find that there are a good number of dermatologists who had worked on this molecule and who, led to the establishment of "Fernblock", a patented concept as a photo-protective and antioxidant agent, administered orally or topically and which has received FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval.

Fernblock, a component of Heliocare products, contains polyphenols (vanillic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, cinnamic acid), monosaccharides and flavonoids.

What is Garcinia Cambogia?

With its shape of a small green or yellow pumpkin, Garcinia Cambogia is a fruit that you don't come across everywhere. Originally from Central Africa and Southeast Asia, it is nevertheless easily recognisable. It measures about five centimetres in diameter and grows exclusively in tropical rainforests. Garcinia Cambogia is also called Garcinia gummi-gutta. The shrub on which the fruit grows is called the Malabar tamarind tree.

The benefits of Garcinia Cambogia

An aid to weight loss

Garcinia Cambogia owes its growing popularity to the claims it makes for weight loss. And this, because of the presence of hydroxy citric acid (AHC) within its composition (2). Indeed, with a 50% HCA content, the fruit promotes weight loss. And this in two different ways. Firstly, HCA stimulates the production of serotonin in the brain, which helps to increase the feeling of satiety during meals.

Garcinia Cambogia is very often associated with slimming diets. It is also known as the "king of diets" because of the beneficial effects of its main active ingredient on weight loss.

A natural appetite suppressant

As we have explained, the HCA present in the fruit acts directly on the brain to reinforce the feeling of satiety (5). Thus, the fruit acts as a natural appetite suppressant, which helps to limit calorie intake during and after meals. Here it is often combined with guarana and griffonia for its effects on hunger. It is also known to help limit stress-related cravings. As such, it is often used to counter behaviours caused by bulimia and similar eating disorders.

Still called the fruit of the cane plant, it is used for its laxative effect. The pulp is used in the composition of preparations indicated in the treatment of constipation. The cassia has the advantage of having a relatively mild yet effective laxative effect.

Hawthorn berries are tiny fruits that grow on trees and shrubs belonging to the genus Crataegus. For centuries, hawthorn berries have been used as an herbal remedy for digestive problems, heart failure and high blood pressure. In fact, it is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine.. 

This plant is especially useful for treating anxiety, stress, insomnia and sleep disorders in nervous and anxious people. It is also very useful for menopausal disorders such as hot flushes. 

Rich in antioxidants, hawthorn berry helps neutralise unstable molecules called free radicals that can harm your body when present at high levels. It is also involved in the fight against: certain cancers, type 2 diabetes, asthma, certain infections, heart problems and premature skin aging. 

Scientists refer to glutathione as the master of antioxidants. It is known to help prevent premature ageing, infections, oxidative stress and hundreds of other health problems.

Health benefits and indications of Stevia

It has a sweetening power of 200 to 350 times that of sugar. It allows us to replace part of the sugar in certain drinks such as Coca-Cola life.

It is particularly rich in lipids (20.6 g/100 g) with a high proportion of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid, but it is low in cholesterol. Note that vitamins D and B12 are conspicuous by their absence. Good source of vitamin E and potassium.

An oleaginous fruit par excellence, it is an essential ally in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

The avocado is rich in antioxidants 

Antioxidants are compounds that protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that are believed to be involved in the development of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and other age-related diseases.

Among the antioxidants, zinc is present in interesting quantities. It is involved in immune reactions, the manufacture of genetic material, taste perception, wound healing and foetal development. Zinc also interacts with sex and thyroid hormones. In the pancreas, it is involved in the synthesis (manufacture), storage and release of insulin.

With 3.6 g of fibre per 100 g of flesh, the avocado is considered a high source of fibre. Dietary fibre, which is only found in plants, is a group of substances that are not digested by the body. A high-fibre diet is associated with a lower risk of colon cancer and can help satisfy the appetite by making you feel fuller more quickly.

Since ancient times, ginger has been used as a spice to enhance dishes, but also for its reputation as an aphrodisiac. "It is not an aphrodisiac in the strict sense of the word. That is to say, it does not increase the libido. But it is an energising plant and it is in this way that it stimulates sexuality," says Evelyne Chartier, a general practitioner and nutritionist, member of the Union of Liberal Doctors.

Ginger is also appreciated for its ability to prevent and cure illnesses. Among other benefits, this medicinal plant is antibacterial, helps to warm the body, stimulates the immune system, is anti-allergic and antipyretic (it fights fever). By warming the body, ginger is effective in combating the effects of cold such as colds and flu.

Ginger is a natural antioxidant, i.e. it protects the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals.

In addition, it helps to speed up digestion by promoting biliary secretion. Above all, ginger is an anti-nauseant that limits vomiting, especially during transport and in pregnant women. Indeed, the active ingredients contained in the ginger rhizome have a sedative effect on the gastric mucosa. They can be used to treat gastritis and gastrointestinal disorders such as nausea, vomiting, bloating and abdominal pain. The phenols present in the resin are believed to be responsible for deactivating the mechanism that causes nausea.
