You haven’t been living a particularly healthy life lately? Professional or private stress, poor sleep, an unbalanced diet, and the consumption of nicotine and too much alcohol weaken the immune system and accelerate aging. Environmental toxins also promote the formation of aggressive molecular components, so-called free radicals. Free radicals cause oxidative stress and thus throw your organism out of balance. They can damage your cells and are involved in the aging process.

If you supplement your diet with Nobilin Lyco ^® supplemented, you supply your body with eleven beneficial natural vital substances. The formulation of this high-quality preparation combines secondary plant substances with essential vitamins. The secondary plant substances include, for example, lycopene from tomato extract and citrus bioflavonoids from tropical fruits. Both active ingredients are famous for their strong antioxidant effect and effectively support you in the defense against free radicals.

One soft gel capsule Nobilin ^Lyco® contains 120 mg of vitamin C, 100 mg of dry extract from green tea, 50 mg of dry extract from grape seeds, 20 mg of citrus bioflavonoids and 15 mg of natural vitamin E. Our high-quality dietary supplement also provides 6 mg of natural carotenoids (α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin). The carotenoid lycopene, which is particularly effective as an antioxidant, is included in an additional amount of 6 mg in Nobilin Lyco and gives our recipe its name. The preparation is rounded off with 20 µg of selenium.

Good to know: The high-quality combination of secondary plant substances and important vitamins complete the Nobilin Lyco formula. Nobilin Lyco ^® is also a component of our bestseller Nobilin Premium, the particularly comprehensive and high-quality dietary supplement with 31 vital substances.

Nobilin Lyco contains high-quality secondary plant substances. Secondary plant substances are valuable natural substances. They include, for example, Carotenoids, glucosinolates, sulfides or Phytoestrogens. Not only do they support and protect plants, they also have a positive effect on the human organism. Their outstanding properties include their antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The addition of "secondary" is therefore a little misleading, because many studies have now confirmed that secondary plant substances are not essential to life, but are far more important for maintaining health than was long assumed. From the large family of secondary plant substances, the secondary plant substances contained in tomatoes (lycopene), red wine (OPC) and green tea have stood out in particular. It is now considered certain that many people lead particularly healthy lives because these foods are often on their menu.

Six carotenoids play a special role in the human organism: α-carotene, β-carotene, lycopene, β-cryptoxanthin, Lutein and Glycerin. Almost all of them act as antioxidants and are said to have a preventive effect against arteriosclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, rheumatism, cataracts and skin aging. Of all dietary carotenoids, lycopene has the greatest antioxidant potential. Its effect against free radicals is said to be ten times stronger than that of vitamin D. The frequent consumption of (cooked) tomatoes in southern countries is therefore considered to be one reason for the positive effect of the Mediterranean diet on cardiovascular diseases. Its special molecular structure makes Lycopene so unique and a particularly effective antioxidant. One of the most aggressive radicals in particular - the so-called singlet oxygen - is very effectively neutralized by lycopene.

Ingredients in green tea also make it a particularly strong antioxidant. Numerous studies have now shown that regular consumption of green tea or green tea extracts has health-promoting and preventive effects. These effects are mainly due to the particularly abundant epigallocatechin gallate in green tea. But other active ingredients also make green tea so healthy, such as catechins, which are secondary plant substances, and the amino acid L-theanine.

Green tea contains secondary plant substances such as catechins. A particularly important substance is one with the tongue-twisting name epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG for short). Together with other vital substances, it gives green tea its health-promoting properties.

Dietary supplements containing green tea and green tea extract.

According to legend, a Chinese emperor liked to drink hot water. One day the wind blew some leaves into his hot drink. The emperor tried the green brew and was delighted by its invigorating effect. This is how green tea is said to have been discovered 5,000 years ago. Green tea has a long tradition in Asia. The so-called tea ceremony in honor of a guest is said to bring people into harmony with nature. One indication of the positive properties of green tea were studies which showed that tea ceremony masters are particularly healthy. Green and black tea are made from the same plant, the botanical name of which is Camellia sinensis. But what is the difference between green and black tea? Black tea is nothing more than fermented green tea. Shortly after the delicious properties of tea were discovered by Europeans, it began to be fermented, as this was the only way it could survive the sometimes very long sea voyages without spoiling.

Fermentation makes black tea last longer, but the important flavonoids, which include epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), are destroyed. Flavonoids give plants their typical color and at the same time protect them from harmful environmental influences. Many flavonoids are also highly potent antioxidants that can effectively neutralize free radicals. The taste of green tea may take some getting used to for the European palate, but anyone who wants to benefit from the positive properties of green tea should drink at least four cups a day. If that's too much for you, you can also take EGCG with green tea extracts.

What is particularly interesting about red wine from a health perspective are the oligomeric proabthocyanidin complexes, or OPC for short. These are compounds that belong to the group of polyphenols. They are found in vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds and, of course, in red wine. They are found in particularly high concentrations in grape seeds, so you can enjoy these active ingredients even without consuming alcohol.

Grapes are the fruit of the grapevine, a climbing plant that is one of our oldest cultivated plants. There are around 16,000 varieties of grapes. And of course, grapes are enjoyed as cool fruit in the summer or, after the fermentation process, as liquid wine. Studies have long been carried out that claim that wine has a positive effect on health when consumed in moderation. The polyphenols contained in grape skins are said to have a positive effect on blood lipid levels. Keyword: French paradox.

These are secondary plant substances from the group of polyphenols with enormous antioxidant potential. It is 20 times greater than that of vitamin E and 50 times greater than that of vitamin C. Our skin in particular is exposed to the attack of so-called free radicals every day. They not only destroy the skin cells themselves, but also attack the fiber proteins that keep our skin firm and ensure that the skin cells are supplied with oxygen and nutrients in blood vessels. As a result, the skin loses fluid, oxygen and nutrients and ages more quickly. Those who constantly expose their skin to the sun, smoke, consume excessive amounts of alcohol and lead a hectic life are practically inviting skin aging through oxidative stress.
