Geranium Flower/ Spirulina

The geranium variety Pelargonium odorantissimum contains essential oils that provide an array of health benefits. Extracted from the plant's stem and leaves, the oils are used as an astringent to improve skin and muscles, as a cytophylactic to promote healthy cell growth and as an antibacterial oil to prevent infection in cuts and wounds. Other uses for geranium essential oil are as a deodorant, tonic, diuretic and a cicatrisant to fade away scars and other spots on the skin.-E How MOM


Nutritionally, the natural element germanium has been known to aid in the prevention of cancer and AIDS. Certain compounds of germanium have toxic effects against certain bacteria. In its organic form, germanium is being hailed as one of the greatest new developments in the nutritional treatment of cancer.The estimated daily intake for germanium is 1 mg. Germanium has been reported to improve the immune system, boost the body's oxygen supply, make a person feel more energetic, and destroy damaging free radicals. Germanium also protects against radiation.Germanium facilitates the movement of oxygen across cellular membranes to deliver oxygen into the cells. Germanium has been used to treat depression, arthritis, vision problems, elevated blood pressure, heavy metal poisoning, and cancer.-Dr. Janet Starr Hull


In ACE- it is listed as 1,3 dimethylpentylamine HCI- defined as a weak stimulant first trademarked under the name of "forthane"as a nasal decongestant. The trademark has ended but the popularity of this product has maintained its popularity. 1,3-dimethylamylamine (dmaa) works by mimicking norepinephrine in the body. This means that it acts in a very similar way to caffeine with users feeling a boost in energy and focus. It seems to bring about most of the positives effects of caffeine without the negative side effects.
Funnily enough, it was originally developed as a nasal decongestant, until people obviously realised the stimulant qualities meant it had many other uses.





In ACE this is seen as a trace mineral complex.


The supplement called spirulina consists of one or more members of a family of blue-green algae.The plants are shaped in a spiral type way as they grow- hence the name. It contains B vitamins, beta carotene, calcium, iron, magnesium, maganese, potassium, and zinc. Spirulina is a rich source of protein. but you'd have to eat an awful lot of spirulina capsules to obtain a significant amount of protein this way.Researchers studying spirulina's effects on health have used a variety of doses, ranging from 1 to 8.4 g daily.One small double-blind trial did find evidence that a blue-green algae called Chlorella pyrenoidosa might be useful for fibromyalgia. Evidence from animal studies, preliminary human trials and one small double-blind, placebo-controlled study suggests that spirulina or other forms of algae might improve cholesterol profile.Very preliminary evidence hints that spirulina may help prevent cancer. Test tube and animal studies suggest that spirulina might have some activity against the HIV, but much more research needs to be done before we could say that spirulina is helpful against HIV infection. A blind study was done on weight loss and spirulina-However, while individuals taking 8.4 g of spirulina daily lost weight, the difference between the spirulina group and the placebo group was not statistically significant . Larger and longer studies are needed to establish whether spirulina is indeed an effective treatment for obesity.

( the amounts of these products are listed in ACE however the actual doseage amount is not specificly listed. ) Being the allowances are pretty vague I will say that the amounts of these two are very low doses in ACE.

WHAT IS ACE?

This morning I wanted to go a little deeper with what ACE really is- Yes it is a capsule- but why does it give you the energy? And how does it work? well with the mixture of ingredients- I mean really that is all there is to it. Check it out and do some research on it yourself if you like to see what else you can come up with- I looked up the following ingredients (not the first time I have done this) and these are the benefits and things that come out of each ingredient separately- the information I gathered is off of PURE MATTERS, WIKKIPEDIA, and MINERAL DEFICIENCY webpages and are not my own, however I cannot recall where I got the picture from- definately one of those sites.

Vitamin B-6? Essential vitamin supports many vital body functions, including nervous and immune system function.* Also plays a part in protein and fat metabolism.*Vitamin B-6 is a water-soluble essential vitamin needed by the body for good health.** It can be found in many foods including beans, meat, poultry, fish, some fruits and vegetables and fortified cereals.

Chromium plays a role in the release of energy from cells.**
Chromium supports carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism.**
Chromium helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels already within a normal range.**

 Cocoa powder contains several minerals including calcium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc. All of these minerals are found in greater quantities in cocoa powder than either cocoa butter or cocoa liquor. Cocoa solids also contain 230 mg of caffiene and 2057 mg of theobrime per 100g, which are mostly absent from the other components of the cocoa bean.

Vanadium is a compound found in tiny amounts in plants and animals. Moreover vanadium is a trace mineral that is present in many foods and may be essential, in small amounts, in the body.

Vanadium supplementation has shown positive effect in peer reviewed studies for the treatment of: Diabetes,Cancer,Heart Disease.

I hope this shines a little more light on the subject for you and if you are interested please visit the tabs at the top of the page to see different sites and things about ACE from myself!
