Fatty Acid Activity
Omega-3 fatty acid (Alpha-linolenic acid) is an essential fatty acid that plays an important role in brain function and may aid in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Research on the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acid have shown that it may be useful for supporting the following conditions. Asthma, diabetes arthritis, osteoporosis, some cancers, high cholesterol high blood pressure, attention disorders, depressive disorders and digestive disorders,

There are many health conditions that can be prevented by the daily intake of Omega-3 essential fatty acids. EPA helps to promote a healthy heart and circulatory system, improves joint flexibility, lowers triglycerides, supports proper immune function, and promotes positive mood and emotional well-being.

DHA is essential for healthy brain function, protects the aging mind, supports a healthy pregnancy, promotes good mood and emotional well-being, improves behavior, focus, and learning in children, supports healthy visual and brain development in fetuses and infants, and reduces the harmful effects of stress. Higher oleic acid reduces blood LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.

Linoleic acid is an omega 6 fatty acid and is an essential fatty acid and natural sources of this fatty acid include sunflower oil and safflower oil. Conjugated Linoleic Acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid which is produced in the human intestine. 

This form of fatty acid is commonly found in the animal and dairy products like meat, milk, egg, cheese, poultry, etc. Research shows that one of the probable reasons for obesity and weight gain problems in people is absence or insufficient amounts of linoleic acid in their diet. It is believed that Linoleic acid is quite effective in making people lose weight and gain muscle mass. Moreover, this fatty acid is also beneficial in reducing risks of different types of cancers like breast, prostate, lung, stomach, etc. by inhibiting cell proliferation.

Oleic acid is essential to the human body and we can manufacture a limited amount, oleic acid is also known, as Omega-9, or monounsaturated oleic and stearic acid, is a non essential fatty acid produced naturally by the body whenever there is enough of either Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids.

This fatty acid plays a role in preventing heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels. Other benefits of omega 9 are that it reduces hardening of the arteries and improves immune function. Within the body omega-3 fatty acids are converted to DHA and EPA (docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, respectively). 

DHA and EPA are highly unsaturated fats that play very important roles in the vision development and brain function of infants. A lack of DHA has been associated with Alzheimer disease, attention disorders, phenylketonuria, cystic fibrosis and other diseases.

Mojoba Antioxidant

Antioxidant Baobab                                                Älykäs ravitsemus

Antioxidants help you to stay younger by protecting cells, tissues, skin and organs from damage. Every cell in your body uses oxygen to make energy. When cells in your body use oxygen to make energy, free radicals are produced. Thus, free radicals are caused by the body’s own natural processes, but our bodies have evolved to control and utilize them. The immune system in our bodies create or utilize free radicals in the body to neutralize viruses and bacteria.

When large number of free radicals are produced, our bodies can no longer cope up with it and oxidative stress results. Free radicals can damage cells, and may play a role in heart disease and accelerate your aging process. Chronic oxidative stress leads to molecular damage and tissue injury. The damage to cell's DNA can pave way for cancer.

Antioxidants are nutrients in our foods that can prevent, or slow, the oxidative damage to our body by mopping away the free radicals. They neutralize free radicals by donating one of their own electrons, ending the electron-"stealing" reaction. This helps to prevent cell and tissue damage. 

Our Mojoba health supplement is one of the most nutritional fruits on the planet, with an ORAC value of over 50,000u/100g, Wild Harvest Pharma's baobab fruit powder has an antioxidant level more than double that of goji berries, and more than six times that of cranberries, blueberries and blackberries.

Many chronic and degenerative diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer, Parkinson and heart disease are partly caused by oxidative stress, caused by free radicals. Antioxidants in foods, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium and many phyto-chemicals can eliminate these free radicals.

There exist different methods to measure the antioxidant capacity of foods and phytochemicals: Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), Ferric Ion Reducing Power (FRAP) and Trolox Equivalence Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC). 


The most popular method is the ORAC determination, which was developed by the National Institutes of Health in Baltimore. The ORAC method measures the inhibitory effect of the phytochemical on azo-induced oxidation of fluorescein. The fluorescent intensity of fluorescein decreases after the addition of the azo-initiator, which acts as a free radical generator. The degeneration of fluorescein becomes reduced by the presence of antioxidants.

Mojoba for Children and Nursing Mothers

Mojoba for Children and Nursing Mothers

Mojoba Intelligent Nutrition

Children and Nursing Mothers
Lack of a balanced nutrional diet can lead to an accumulation of toxins within the body, resulting in chronic diseases. Since no single food group can nourish the body with all the vital ingredients it requires, it is important that we consume a variety of healthy foods to derive the nutrition our body needs. Children and nursing mothers are one of the most vulnerable groups, they need complete nutrition for their growth, physical and mental fitness.

Mojoba health supplement is a very good natural supplement needed by every child for their well being. Calcium is particularly important in building strong bones and teeth. Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the body, gets particular attention for its role in keeping bones strong. 
Mojoba contains 4 X the calcium content in milk. Fractures reported among children and young adults are on the rise due to calcium deficiency. It is also a key mineral needed for muscular contractions, wound healing and proper function of hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain. Calcium in the blood helps maintain heart rhythm, and promotes proper blood clotting and muscular function.
Magnesium is important to 300 bodily functions, including the muscles, nerves and heart. It boosts your immune system and strengthens bones. Iron is an oxygen-carrying component of the blood. Children need iron for expanding blood volume which is accompanied during periods of rapid growth. Iron content of Mojoba is more than red meat or spinach. Iron also makes up part of many proteins and enzymes in the body, deficiency of which leads to the weakening of the immune system, helps in improving the mental ability as the oxygen supply to the brain increases.

When children and nursing mothers do not eat enough fruits and vegetables they run the risk of having low intakes of vitamins A and C. B Complex Vitamins (thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and other B vitamins) these come from a variety of foods, including grain products, meat and meat substitutes and dairy products. Most of the children are not consuming the healthy foods instead they are attracted towards the mal-nutrient snack foods.

When appetites slow down and children do not seem to be eating nutritiously, concerned parents consider using a vitamin-mineral supplement. Mojoba health supplement is one of the richest sources of natural plant based Vitamins.

Vitamins and other nutrients are critically important for the proper physical, cognitive and even emotional development of young children. Vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients help create the neurotransmitters that relay signals between these brain Children who do not get adequate nutrition in their first few years of life are more likely to have problems throughout life. This includes lower IQ, slower language and motor development, and poor school performance.
