PINE POLLEN

Our pine pollen (Pinus massoniana Lamb) originates in the Hunan Province of China. To the best of our knowledge the pollen is wild harvested. Pine pollen is often referred to as 'the give from nature' as it falls from the trees across the planet.

Yunnan is a beautiful province in southwestern China with a varied landscape encompassing snow-capped mountains, rice terraces, lakes and deep gorges.

L-CARNOSINE For human and animal use

  • Lonjevitee L-Carnosine is a natural body product, consisting of the amino acids Beta-alanine and L-histidine chemically bound to each other.
  • Nerve cells (neuron's) and muscle cells (myocytes) contain high levels of carnosine. L-Carnosine is NOT a drug, vitamin or mineral, and it does not react with any drugs. You are born with high levels of carnosine in your body but unfortunately it decreases with age. The good news is that you can now replace carnosine naturally by supplementing your natural supply with Lonjevitee L-Carnosine - the purest form available. 
  • L-Carnosine is the most effective anti-carbonylation agent yet discovered. (Carbonylation is a pathological step in the age-related degradation of the body's proteins). Carnosine helps prevent skin collagen cross-linking that leads to loss of elasticity and wrinkles.
  • It also acts as a regulator of zinc and copper concentrations in nerve cells, helping to prevent over-stimulation by these neuroactive minerals. What is known about the biological role of carnosine in the body, substantiates all of the above, and other studies have indicated further benefits. 
  • L-Carnosine is a Super AntiOxidant that quenches even the most destructive free radicals: they hydroxyl and peroxyl radicals, superoxide, and singlet oxygen. Carnosine helps to chelate ionic metals, (flush toxins from the body).
  • This is L-Carnosine in its purest form. It is made up of a combination of the two amino acids, Beta-alanine and L-histidine and is known scientifically as N-beta-alanyl-histidine.

When taken as a natural health supplement, L-Carnosine protects and extends the functional life of the body's key building blocks - the cells, proteins, DNA and lipids. Long-lived cells such as nerve cells, called neurone, and muscle cells, called myocytes, naturally contain high levels of L-Carnosine, and these muscle levels of L-Carnosine correlate exactly with maximum life spans.

Studies on the rejuvenating effects of L-Carrnosine have shown:

It is 100% safe and 100% hypoallergenic - it is naturally occurring in many foods and in the body itself.

It has virtually no taste. It is odourless and colourless, and can be added to any liquid, hot or cold.

The powder is generally pure white but can often be an off-white or pale yellow colour, this does not mean that it is an inferior brand or that it will not work as well as the pure white powder. Lonjevitee's L-Carnosine is not blended with any other products. 

HOW L-CARNOSINE IS MANUFACTURED

It is fermented in large vats, produced from friendly bacteria very similar to probiotic's. It is then harvested, dried and processed to make it close to 100% pure and nature identical, which means that for all intents and purposes, it is exactly the same as that which is produced by the body, and it impossible to tell the difference between the two.

Not all carnosine is created equal; some types are 'inert' and do not possess the unique cellular rejuvenating properties - they are still good antioxidants but nothing more.

The analysis of carnosine often states that it is 'white or almost white' and can state 'white, off-white or even yellowish-white'. The end result of the manufacturing process is what dictates the colour Lonjevitee L-Carnosine is guaranteed pure and free of additives.

WHO HAS L-CARNOSINE IN THEM?

All mammals have L-carnosine naturally occurring in their bodies. Other species have different types of Carnosine, such as D-Carnosine.

ALL ABOUT STANDARDISED EXTRACTS

Standardised extracts are a processed form of a raw ingredient until a particular part of the raw ingredient is concentrated to a certain standard, hence the name 'standardised'. 65% boswellic acid standardised extract means that whole frankincense resin is processed until 65% of what's left is boswellic acid and the other 35% is other water-soluble compounds found in frankincense resin. 

The main benefit of standardised extracts is that you always get a fixed amount of the thing that you want no matter how much is in the raw ingredient. For example, whole frankincense resin contains varying amounts of boswellic acid from one batch to another, typically between 1% and 5% depending on when and where the resin was harvested. With ratio extracts, such as 10:1 (10%) extract, you cannot be sure of how much boswellic acid you have in your product because you only know that you are getting 10% of what the extract is taken from but not what that 10% is. It could be any 10% of the raw ingredient. Ratio extracts are not made with any one component of the raw ingredient in mind. They are not tested for the concentration of anything within the extract. Of all the components in frankincense resin its the boswellic acid that provides the most benefit to joints and bowels. This has been established by numerous independent scientific researchers. This is why we sell standardised extract of boswellic acid for example and not the inherently inferior ratio extracts.
