"If
we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment
and exercise, not too little and
not too much, we would have found the safest way to health."
Hippocrates (480–357 BC)

| Food is Medicine!

Epidemiological studies
have shown that 95 percent of all degenerative and chronic diseases
are caused
by nutritional deficiencies, and more than 50 of them are scientifically
linked to free radical damage caused by oxidative stress. |
|
Some
of the major diseases are: obesity, diabetes, heart diseases
caused by high
cholesterol levels,
atherosclerosis, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease – and
cancer. Despite the advances of modern medicine, the incidence
of these diseases has been continuously increasing over the last
20
years. |
|
What
causes oxidative stress and free radical damage? |
|
Today, we are exposed to much higher
levels of oxidative stress. This is caused by the UV radiation of
the sun, physical and emotional stress, pollution, smoking, alcohol,
high consumption of saturated fats and regular intake of synthetic
medicines, to name a few. |
|
Nature’s
Resources!
|
|
|
Nature has provided us with an array of defense mechanisms against free radical
damage caused by oxidative stress. We can find them in our food. Scientists
have discovered beneficial antioxidants and thousands of phytonutrients
in fruit, vegetables and other plants. Daily consumption of lots of fruit
and vegetables dramatically lowers the risk of degenerative diseases. This
fact has been documented by epidemiological studies showing that people
are healthier if they incorporate more of the right kind of plants into
their diet.
|
|
Unfortunately,
due to poor eating habits and the consumption of too much fast
food
and processed food,
we are no longer consuming enough of these all-important nutrients.
Even a balanced diet does not provide enough of them, as they are
no longer present in sufficient amounts in today’s food.
The reasons for this are soil depletion and long storage times
at the
supermarket and at home. Overcooking will do the rest.
|
|
Today,
in order to maintain a strong immune system and a healthy body,
we need at
least 3,500–5,000 ORAC units (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) per day to fight
free radicals. |
|
However, our diet provides only
an average of 700 to 1,000 ORAC units per day. The lack of proper
nutrients makes our body and organs, including skin and hair, age
much faster, and we are more prone to degenerative and chronic diseases. |
|
ROEHR nature + science has developed
a range of orthomolecular and nutritional medicines to supplement
the daily needs and protect the body against free radical damage.
Our products may help to prevent or treat the root causes of degenerative
diseases and not just their symptoms.
|
|
ROEHR nature + science only uses
organically grown fruit, vegetables and herbs. They are independently
tested and certified to be free of toxins and molds. In natural food,
the active phytonutrients are not present in the same concentration.
Their content varies depending on the weather, climate, soil, altitude
and storage conditions. |
|
ROEHR nature + science identifies
and isolates the active phytonutrients through a state-of-the-art
extraction process. The extracts are standardized and tested to the
content of one or more of their major ingredients to guarantee an
exact amount in each dosage. |
|
| ROEHR nature + science products
are developed based on latest science in cooperation with reputable
universities and research laboratories worldwide. ROEHR nature + science products are manufactured in accordance with
cGMP and/or ISO quality standards in Germany and selected facilities
worldwide. We supply them in various dosage forms and innovative
delivery systems using cutting-edge technologies. |
|
ROEHR
nature + science offers both conventional tablets and capsules
as well as a new and unique delivery system for individualized
and personalized prescriptions. Our innovative MicroTabs concept
allows easy mixing of multiple compounds directly at the point
of sale, according to the individual needs of each patient. The
product matrix is based on a proactive and holistic approach to
health care management and covers a wide spectrum of degenerative
and chronic diseases. |
|
It includes: standardized
plant extracts, antioxidants/anti-inflammatories, natural and bio-transformed
vitamins, minerals, amino acids, plant- and fungus-based enzymes,
natural detoxifying and chelating fibers and other compounds, as
well as plant extracts that have a beneficial effect on stress and
emotions. |
|
In addition, we supply a selected
range of pre- and probiotics in hard capsules. |
|
Nature’s
resources combined with modern science may help to achieve a
healthier and longer life. |
