May 11, 2018Health Benefits Of Phytobiologicals
Phytobiologicals are biologically active substances that are found exclusively in plants. They serve mainly to protect and maintain plant metabolisms by exercising their strong antioxidant effects and by neutralizing bacteria, viruses and other injurious effects.
The human cellular metabolism obtains biologically active plant substances from food. These substances are components of a balanced diet that is rich in fresh fruit and vegetables. Thus, phytobiologicals, in addition to vitamins, minerals, trace elements, certain amino acids and essential fatty acids, play an important role in our daily micronutrient supply.
The studies on this webpage provide scientific evidence of the health benefits of phytobiologicals.
