Where Nature Meets Science
The Science Behind Our Bark Extracts
In biomedical science, polyphenols are studied for their ability to prevent and treat chronic diseases, including cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders and many types of cancers. These compounds work by neutralising free radicals, modulating cell signalling pathways and supporting the body’s natural defence mechanisms.
Polyphenols absorb ultraviolet light in the range from 200-1000nm. Advanced analysis, using Maldi-TOF detection conducted at the LERMAB laboratories in France, confirms that the Muuntha Spear range of products contain over 40 active polyphenolic compounds, including high concentrations of Fisetin and Delphinidin along with significant levels of Robinetinidin and Catechins.
MAIN INGREDIENTS – FISETIN (29%) and DELPHINIDIN (26%)
Fisetin, is scientifically regarded as a neuroprotectant, anti-senolytic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-depressant and is known to improve cardiovascular circulation. It is found in various fruits and vegetables – most notably strawberries at a concentration ranging between 0.0005-0.004%
Delphinidin, is also known to be a potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. It is a natural pigment type polyphenol that is responsible for the deep blue, purple and red colours in many foods. It is found in many fruits – most notably blackcurrants at a concentration ranging from 0.04-0.15%
The Muuntha range of products are prepared using natural methods that maintains the natural balance of ingredients. Our preparation methods draw on traditional Indigenous knowledge. We combine this cultural heritage with contemporary approaches to product quality and analytical testing. Laboratory analysis identified more than 40 active plant-derived compounds in the tested samples
