Mela Annurca
Mela Annurca (Malus pumila Miller cultivar Annurca), native to Campania, is known for its unique profile of Polyphenols and Flavonoids, particularly Procyanidin B2. It is an increasingly used nutraceutical ingredient for its positive effects on Hair, Cholesterol and Cellular Wellbeing. Here are the main benefits of taking Mela Annurca extract:
Hair Strengthening and Growth
Stimulates hair regrowth and improves hair density and diameter. Increases the production of keratin, the hair’s main structural protein. Counteracts weakening and hair loss, even in times of stress or after drug treatments.
Cholesterol Control
It helps reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL (good) cholesterol. Acts similarly to natural statins, without liver or muscle side effects.
Antioxidant and Anti-Aging Action
Rich in polyphenols that neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress. Useful in delaying cellular aging processes, especially at the skin and vascular level.
Supporto Metabolico e Cognitivo
May contribute to the improvement of mitochondrial function and memory. Promotes neurological well-being in old age.
As always, it is important to consult a health care professional before starting any new supplement or treatment. Mela Annurca or its natural extract is well tolerated even in prolonged treatments, with no known side effects.
