We warmly welcome our newest sponsor, Hyatt Life Sciences, the manufacturer of Afaya Plus®. Afaya Plus is a unique formulation that contains medicinal herbs from Eastern and Western medicine as well as key herbal isolates. Afaya Plus contains a proprietary blend of vanillin powder, turmeric powder, Peganum harmala (wild rue) powder, garlic powder, Arum palaestinum (Solomon’s Lily) powder and beta-sitosterol and also a small amount of vitamin C. This combination of herbs and extracts provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.
Arum palestinum in particular is an herb with a long history of use in the Middle East. In addition to its antioxidant actions, pre-clinical studies have shown that this herb induces apoptosis, or cell suicide, of damaged and cancerous cells. Cell studies have shown that by augmenting the Arum palaestinum with certain compounds, namely vanillin, curcumin (from turmeric) and beta-sitosterol, there is greater anti-growth activity in cancer cell lines. The additions of Peganum harmala and garlic creates a broader antioxidant effect and also provides antiviral actions. Afaya Plus is a powerful way to support normal cellular function and vitality. It may be useful as a compliment to an integrative health plan for people diagnosed with cancer.
Hyatt Life Sciences does extensive product testing and ensures that they consistently manufacture a high-quality product. Afaya Plus has no known herb/drug interactions and is generally well-tolerated. It should be used with caution by people also taking Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) due to potential additive effects. There are reports of Afaya Plus can elevate liver enzymes so this product should not be taken by people with liver disease or those who regularly drink a moderate to heavy amount of alcohol.
Afaya Plus builds upon a rich history of traditional use in the Middle East and incorporates recent scientific discoveries to provide optimal support to the body on a cellular level. For more information, visit HyattLifeSciences.com.
