[What is Tribulus terrestris?]

Tribulus terrestris is a vine that has been used as a general tonic (energy) and herbal treatment for impotence, but is found primarily in dietary supplements marketed for increasing testosterone levels in bodybuilders and power athletes. The idea behind tribulus is that it may increase testosterone levels indirectly by raising blood levels of another hormone, luteinizing hormone.

[Function]

1) Enhance men’s sexual ability.

2) Relieving muscle spasm and cramps;
3) Anti-myocardial ischemia and cerebral ischemia;
4) Relieving stress , regulating blood fat, and reducing cholesterol;
5) Promoting sex gland hormones;
6) Anti-aging and anti cancer;
7) Diuretic, anti-calculus of the urethra, reducing the risk of urinary stone disease and disorder;
8) Promoting muscle growth efficiently, helping the body to be strong and letting muscle to play potential role.

Red Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum), commonly known as Ling Zhi in Chinese, is a herbal mushroom known to have miraculous health benefits. It has been used in Japan and China for over 2,000 years and thus making it the oldest mushroom known to have been used as medicine. Since ancient times, the Reishi mushroom was reserved for emperors and royalties. It has been revered as nature’s rarest and most beneficial herb. In the Superior category of Shen Nung Ben Cao Jing, the oldest and most famous medical text on Oriental herbal medicine, red Reishi is ranked as the number one herb, ahead of ginseng, because of its following qualities:
1. It is non-toxic and can be taken daily without producing any side effects.
2. When it is taken regularly, it can restore the body to its natural state, enabling all organs to function normally.
3. Immune modulator – regulates and fine tunes the immune system.

What are the benefits of Reishi?
Red Reishi is primarily composed of complex carbohydrates called water-soluble polysaccharides, triterpenes, proteins and amino acids. Researchers have identified that water-soluble polysaccharides are the most active element found in Red Reishi that have anti-tumour, immune modulating and blood pressure lowering effects. Another major active ingredient found in Red Reishi are triterpenes, called ganoderic acids. Preliminary studies indicated that ganoderic acids help alleviate common allergies by inhibiting histamine release, improve oxygen utilization and improve liver functions. Triterpenes are bitter in taste and the level of the triterpene content contained in a product can be determined by the bitterness. Regular consumption of red Reishi can enhance our body’s immune system and improve blood circulation, thus improving better health conditions. Generally, Reishi is recommended as an immune modulator and a general tonic. Red Reishi is also used to help treat anxiety, high blood pressure, hepatitis, bronchitis, insomnia, and asthma.

Iodine and Starch Experiment | Iodine Experiment | Starch Experiment | Science experiments for kids

Simple and easy experiment to demonstrate the iodine with starch reaction!

For this test you will need:
• Two test tubes
• Soluble starch powder
• Iodine solution
• Water
• Dropper
Procedure:
• Put some starch powder into a test tube and fill the test tube with water.
• Mix the starch in the test tube well until the starch dissolves in the water.
• Fill the other test tube with normal water.
• Place both the test tubes in a test tube stand.
• Using a dropper take iodine solution.
• Put some drops in each test tube.
• Observe that the test tube with starch solution turns to purple black color.
• The other test tube with normal water retains the color of iodine i.e orange or yellow.
Explanation:
Starch is a mixture of amylose and amylopectin, which are different forms of glucose/starch.
Amylose in starch is responsible for the formation of a deep blue black color.
Amylase is long polymer chains of glucose units connected by an alpha acetal linkage and looks much like a coiled spring.
However iodine is a potassium iodide reagent and it is not very soluble in water.
So, iodine is prepared by dissolving it in water in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide. This results in a linear tri-iodide ion (I3−) complex in iodine which is soluble.
This tri-iodide ion (I3−) slips into the coil of the starch causing an intense or deep blue-black color.
