NUTRITIONAL VALUES

WARNINGS

Food supplements are not intended as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of children under 3 years of age. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The expiry date shown refers to the product when intact, stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of light and heat.

“I’m tired”, “I’m stressed”, “I can’t find the strength to face everything any more”.

How many times have you heard these phrases? Perhaps you have even said one of them yourself, just today.

Tiredness and lack of energy are a truly common factor these days.

Certainly, today’s ever-frenetic lifestyle, a diet poor in real nutrients and reduced sleep quality (millions of Italians quarrel with their pillow every night) lead to a natural drop in energy and a rise in stress levels.

That’s right: stress also increases when we feel unable to complete the plans we have set ourselves. And stress, in turn, increases tiredness, setting off a vicious circle we no longer know how to get out of.

But is it always like this? Absolutely not. At first, your body is perfectly capable of responding adequately to all stressful events.

It is when stress drags on over time that the situation degenerates and can become chronic, causing all those problems of tiredness, irritability, nervousness, sleep disturbances, etc.

Let’s take an example.

You are a primitive man wandering through the forest. At a certain point you see a lion heading straight for you.

Your body has only one reaction: fear of being eaten. This fear (stressor) triggers a response from your body-mind system, which has no wish to end up in the lion’s belly and so starts producing adrenaline, cortisol and other substances that give you the energy to flee as far away as possible.

When you finally reach safety, your heartbeat slows, your breathing returns to normal and, in general, you regain calm and serenity.

What would happen, though, if you had to keep running non-stop? Or if, after the lion, along came a tiger, then a leopard, then a rhinoceros ... Your body and your mind would literally go haywire, because such a high level of stress, kept up for so long, inevitably leads to a phase known as exhaustion.

Bringing this example back to the present day, tiredness and lack of energy arrive because we are “exhausted” — that is, we have used up our energy reserves owing to intense, repeated stress stimuli.

And what do we do in 99% of cases? We take coffee or other nervine substances in the hope of having more energy.

In doing so, however, you are handing yourself a one-way ticket to the rapid and total depletion of what little energy you have left. Nervine tonics, in fact, merely make you consume more energy, not produce more of it.

If you really want more energy, you must produce more energy!

This is the philosophy behind Energea+ New Formula.

Energea+ New Formula by Salugea is the supplement that, thanks to its innovative active ingredients, helps your body produce new energy.

In particular, their action is aimed directly at the cell’s “power stations”: the mitochondria.

Only in this way can you be sure of having more energy available, so you stay awake and focused and you counter stress, because you manage to complete everything you have set out to do, in a state of wellbeing!

All this, of course, in a natural, safe and complete way!

Energea+ New Formula: it stimulates the production of energy, not its consumption.

Let’s now look at some in-depth scientific studies conducted on the active ingredients of Energea+ New Formula.

Experimental phytotherapy

ASHWAGANDHA

• Lee DH, Ahn J, Jang YJ, et al. Withania somnifera Extract Enhances Energy Expenditure via Improving Mitochondrial Function in Adipose Tissue and Skeletal Muscle. 2020;12(2):431. Published 2020 Feb 7. doi:10.3390/nu1202043.

This study, conducted on an animal model, verified that taking an extract of Ashwagandha, or Withania, increased the number of mitochondria in the animals’ muscle tissue, leading to an increase in relative oxygen consumption, a sign of an increased energy metabolism.

• Wankhede S, Langade D, Joshi K, Sinha SR, Bhattacharyya S. Examining the effect of Withania somnifera supplementation on muscle strength and recovery: a randomized controlled trial. J Int Soc Sports Nutr. 2015;12:43. Published 2015 Nov 25. doi:10.1186/s12970-015-0104-9.

In this other clinical study (conducted on humans), 57 young male subjects, aged between 18 and 50 and not used to training often, underwent treatment with Ashwagandha and were put to the test in various resistance training sessions, for a total of 8 weeks.

Compared with those who received only a placebo, the group treated with Ashwagandha had significantly greater increases in muscle strength in the plank exercise (placebo: 26.4 kg - test: 46.0 kg), a significantly greater increase in arm muscle size (placebo: 5.3 cm² – test: 8.6 cm²) and a significantly greater decrease in body fat percentage (placebo: -1.5 % - test: -3.5 %).

SPIRULINA

• Lupatini AL, Colla LM, Canan C, Colla E. Potential application of microalga Spirulina platensis as a protein source. J Sci Food Agric. 2017 Feb;97(3):724-732. doi: 10.1002/jsfa.7987. Epub 2016 Sep 12. PMID: 27507218.

Spirulina platensis stands out as one of the richest sources of protein of microbial origin (460-630 g/kg of dry matter). Its protein levels are similar to those of meat and soya.

The use of Spirulina in foods and in food supplements can bring benefits to the body thanks to its chemical composition. Indeed, it has high levels of vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, essential fatty acids, amino acids and pigments.

• Brito AF, Silva AS, de Oliveira CVC, de Souza AA, Ferreira PB, de Souza ILL, da Cunha Araujo LC, da Silva Félix G, de Souza Sampaio R, Tavares RL, de Andrade Pereira R, Neto MM, da Silva BA. Spirulina platensis prevents oxidative stress and inflammation promoted by strength training in rats: dose-response relation study. Sci Rep. 2020 Apr 14;10(1):6382. doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-63272-5. PMID: 32286405; PMCID: PMC7156748.

This study evaluates the effects of Spirulina supplementation in rats subjected to strength training.

To carry out the evaluation, blood markers were measured that are indicators of oxidative stress, muscle damage, inflammation and performance.

The rats underwent a strength-training programme lasting 2 months and were divided into four groups. The first group took no spirulina, while the other three groups took it in different amounts.

Spirulina supplementation for 8 weeks improved antioxidant capacity, attenuated the exercise-induced rise in free radicals and reduced inflammation.

ROYAL JELLY

• Morita H, Ikeda T, Kajita K, Fujioka K, Mori I, Okada H, Uno Y, Ishizuka T. Effect of royal jelly ingestion for six months on healthy volunteers. Nutr J. 2012 Sep 21;11:77. doi: 10.1186/1475-2891-11-77. PMID: 22995464; PMCID: PMC3499288.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term effects of royal jelly on human beings.

The study was conducted on 61 healthy volunteers aged between 42 and 83, divided into two groups. One group received royal jelly for 6 months, while the other received a placebo.

The parameters to be monitored were changes in anthropometric measurements (weight, circumferences, etc.) and in biochemical indices.

After six months of treatment, several parameters were analysed, including:

• red blood cell count,
• haematocrit,
• fasting blood glucose,
• insulinogenic index,
• wellbeing

The results showed that taking royal jelly for six months in humans improved erythropoiesis, glucose tolerance and mental wellbeing.

GINSENG

• Kim HG, Cho JH, Yoo SR, Lee JS, Han JM, Lee NH, Ahn YC, Son CG. Antifatigue effects of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. PLoS One. 2013 Apr 17;8(4):e61271. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0061271. PMID: 23613825; PMCID: PMC3629193.

This study evaluated the anti-fatigue effects of Panax ginseng in 90 subjects (21 men and 69 women) with idiopathic chronic fatigue (ICF).

In addition to the assessment of fatigue, changes were measured in the serum levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), total glutathione content (GSH) and glutathione reductase activity (GSH-Rd).

The results provide the first evidence of the anti-fatigue effects of P. ginseng in patients with ICF, and the scientists maintain that the positive changes in the body’s antioxidant status contribute in part to its mechanism of action.

GRAPE SEED

• Belviranlı M, Gökbel H, Okudan N, Başaralı K. Effects of grape seed extract supplementation on exercise-induced oxidative stress in rats. Br J Nutr. 2012 Jul;108(2):249-56. doi: 10.1017/S0007114511005496. Epub 2011 Oct 20. PMID: 22011589.

This study looks at the effects of supplementation with grape seed extract on physical performance and on oxidative stress in rats subjected to forced exercise.

It was shown that grape seed supplementation produced an increase in the activities of antioxidant enzymes.

Grape Seed extract supplementation therefore appears to prevent exercise-induced oxidative stress by reducing lipid peroxidation and increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes.

• Vogels N, Nijs IM, Westerterp-Plantenga MS. The effect of grape-seed extract on 24 h energy intake in humans. Eur J Clin Nutr. 2004 Apr;58(4):667-73. doi: 10.1038/sj.ejcn.1601863. PMID: 15042136.

Since grape seed extract was found to stimulate lipolysis in vitro and to reduce food intake in rats, the study evaluates the effects of the extract on energy requirements and on the sense of satiety.

There were 51 participants in the study (age 18-65, body mass index 22-30 kg/m2), who had lunch and dinner with the foods they preferred at the university restaurant for 3 days. Breakfast and snacks were standard.

The grape-seed-based supplements were taken 30-60 minutes before each meal.

The results showed that grape seeds reduced 24-hour energy intake, by an average of 4% in subjects whose energy requirement was greater than or equal to about 1792 kcal a day, with no further effects on satiety, mood or tolerance.

These results suggest that grape seeds could be effective in reducing 24-hour energy intake in non-dieting people of normal weight or who are overweight. They could therefore play a significant role in body weight management, thereby increasing the share of energy produced for the same amount of food consumed.

MANGANESE

• Chen P, Bornhorst J, Aschner M. Manganese metabolism in humans. Front Biosci (Landmark Ed). 2018 Mar 1;23:1655-1679. doi: 10.2741/4665. PMID: 29293455.

Manganese is an essential nutrient for intracellular activities, since it works as a cofactor for numerous enzymes.

Manganese is found in the structure of numerous metalloproteins that play roles of fundamental importance in development, in digestion, in reproduction, in antioxidant defence, in energy production, in the immune response and in the regulation of neuronal activities.

An adequate level of it in the human body is therefore essential to support the main physiological functions, such as those of energy production.
