Abstract
The aim of this article is to conduct a comprehensive study of the composition and biologically active properties of the “ECO НАУАТ Elixir,” as well as to evaluate its safety and effectiveness as a supplement to primary treatment. The focus of the research is on analyzing the effects of the key plant-based ingredients of the elixir on the human body, exploring their mechanisms of action, and presenting the results of laboratory tests that confirm the product’s safety and therapeutic value. To analyze the composition and biological activity of the elixir, methods of chemical analysis and biological testing were applied, including laboratory experiments to assess safety and effectiveness. A review of scientific publications dedicated to the elixir’s components—such as honey, date molasses, apple cider vinegar, ginger, saffron, Qust al-Hindi (Indian costus), walnut partitions, black cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and other plant ingredients—was also carried out to determine their impact on health. The research findings demonstrated that the “ECO НАУАТ Elixir” exerts a powerful complex effect on the body, improving metabolism, normalizing intestinal microflora, and strengthening the immune system. Ingredients such as honey, date molasses, ginger, saffron, Qust al-Hindi, walnut partitions, black cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, pomegranate fruit and peel, linden flowers, and clove exhibit pronounced antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and adaptogenic effects. These properties contribute to better blood circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced cardiovascular health. Laboratory tests confirmed that the product complies with international safety standards, and adherence to recommended dosages does not cause adverse side effects. The theoretical significance of the article lies in the in-depth study of the biological activity of the plant-based ingredients included in the elixir, which broadens the understanding of the potential of natural supplements in maintaining health and preventing diseases.
