I recently came upon an infographic containing this information by Dr. Jockers, but as usual I wanted to know more! So I did some research on these nutrients and here's what I found....
Ursolic Acid -- Found in the peels of fruits as well as in rosemary & thyme
Piperine -- An alkaloid responsible for the pungency of black pepper
Lycopene -- Bright red carotenoid found in tomatoes & other red fruits & veggies. However, it's not found in strawberries or cherries....weird huh?? Also there's no Vitamin A activity....hmmm.
Isothiocyanates -- A sulfur containing phyto chemicals. An anti-inflammatory found in types of mustard oils.
Curcumin -- The bright yellow chemical that gives turmeric it's color and the 'magick' ingredient!
EGCG -- A plant compound prominent in green tea
Resveratrol -- A type of natural phenol found in plants that respond to injury or when the plant is under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. Sources include: skins of grapes, blueberries, raspberries, mulberries or plants.
Vitamin D3 -- A fat soluble vitamin that helps the body absorb calcium & phosphorus. Important for bone development & made by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight. 20 minutes daily is all we need for our full RDA of Vit. D3!!
6-Gingerol -- A chemical compound found in fresh ginger. A relative of capsaicin & piperine.
Silymarin -- Found in the extract of milk thistle seeds.
Quercetin -- A plant flavonol from a group of polyphenols. Found in many fruits, veggies, leaves & grains.
Anthocyanins -- A water soluble pigment that may appear red, purple, blue or black.
It was a beneficial workout for me to go through your webpage. Private Tutor in Tampa It definitely stretches the limits with the mind when you go through very good info and make an effort to interpret it properly. I am going to glance up this web site usually on my PC. Thanks for sharing
