Ginkgo Biloba Extract 120mg – Natural Support for Memory, Focus & Healthy Brain Circulation

Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest living tree species on Earth — and one of the most thoroughly studied medicinal plants in the history of phytotherapy. Dr Gabriel’s® Ginkgo Biloba Extract 120mg brings the power of this ancient botanical into a modern, standardised supplement format, backed by EMA Well-Established Use status and decades of clinical research.

Whether you are navigating the demands of a busy professional life, supporting healthy aging, or looking for a natural approach to maintaining mental sharpness and circulatory vitality — Ginkgo Biloba has a centuries-long tradition of use and a substantial evidence base to support its role as a foundational cognitive and vascular supplement.

 

What Is Ginkgo Biloba — And Why Does Extract Strength Matter?

Ginkgo biloba leaves contain two primary classes of pharmacologically active compounds:

• Flavone glycosides (including quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin) — potent antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative stress
• Terpene lactones (ginkgolides A, B, C and bilobalide) — compounds associated with platelet-activating factor (PAF) inhibition and neuroprotective properties

Not all ginkgo supplements are equal. Only a standardised extract — guaranteed to contain 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones — delivers the composition that mirrors what was studied in clinical research. Dr Gabriel’s® Ginkgo Biloba uses precisely this pharmaceutical-grade standardisation.

FAQ 

What is Ginkgo Biloba extract used for?

Ginkgo Biloba extract is used to support memory, concentration, and healthy blood circulation in the brain and extremities. It is one of the most studied medicinal plants in the world and is recognised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for traditional use in cognitive and vascular support in adults.

What does ‘120mg standardised extract’ mean?

A 120mg standardised Ginkgo Biloba extract contains a guaranteed concentration of 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones — the active compounds most associated with cognitive and circulatory benefits. Standardisation ensures consistency across every capsule, unlike non-standardised powders where potency varies significantly.

Is Ginkgo Biloba safe to take long-term?

Ginkgo Biloba has a well-documented safety profile for long-term use in adults at standard doses (120mg/day). However, it should not be combined with anticoagulant medications (e.g. warfarin, aspirin at therapeutic doses) without medical supervision. Always consult a healthcare professional if you take prescription medications.

 

How long does it take for Ginkgo Biloba to show results?

Most users report noticeable effects on concentration and mental clarity after 6 to 8 weeks of consistent daily use. For circulatory support and long-term cognitive maintenance, a course of 3 to 6 months is generally recommended by phytotherapy practitioners, consistent with EMA guidance on traditional-use duration.

 

What is EMA Well-Established Use status for Ginkgo Biloba?

EMA (European Medicines Agency) Well-Established Use status means that Ginkgo Biloba extract has been in documented medicinal use within the EU for at least 10 years, with recognised efficacy and an acceptable safety profile. This is the highest regulatory recognition available for a plant-based preparation under EU pharmaceutical law.

Grape Seed Extract OPC 300mg + Astaxanthin 3mg – Dual Antioxidant Protection for Cells, Vessels & Skin

Free radical damage is one of the most widely studied mechanisms in modern nutritional science. Reactive oxygen species — produced naturally by metabolism and amplified by environmental stressors such as UV radiation, pollution, processed foods and stress — are implicated in the progressive oxidative wear of cellular structures across virtually every tissue type. The body has its own antioxidant defence systems, but these can be overwhelmed, particularly with advancing age and increased environmental exposure.

Dr Gabriel’s® Grape Seed Extract OPC 300mg + Astaxanthin provides a scientifically coherent answer to this challenge — combining two complementary, high-potency antioxidants that work across different cellular compartments: OPC (water-soluble polyphenols from grape seed, active in aqueous environments) and Astaxanthin (a fat-soluble carotenoid, active in lipid membranes and lipoproteins). Together, they provide comprehensive antioxidant coverage that neither ingredient can deliver alone.

 

Ingredient 1 — Grape Seed Extract OPC (300mg, 64% OPC)

Grape Seed Extract (GSE) is derived from the seeds of Vitis vinifera grapes — a concentrated source of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC), a class of polyphenolic flavonoids first extensively studied by French pharmacologist Professor Jack Masquelier in the 1940s and 1950s. OPC belong to the condensed tannin family and are among the most potent water-soluble antioxidants identified in nature.

The 64% OPC standardisation (verified by UV analysis) means that each 300mg capsule delivers 192mg of pure oligomeric proanthocyanidins — a meaningful, research-relevant dose in a single serving. This level of standardisation distinguishes a pharmaceutical-grade extract from generic grape seed powder of variable and often unstated OPC content.

Ingredient 2 — Astaxanthin (3mg, from Haematococcus pluvialis)

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring xanthophyll carotenoid — a fat-soluble red-pink pigment produced by the freshwater microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis as a survival mechanism against intense UV radiation and nutrient stress. It is the pigment responsible for the characteristic red-pink colour of salmon, flamingos and crustaceans.

Astaxanthin is classified as one of the most potent lipid-soluble antioxidants identified in nature, with a unique molecular structure that allows it to span the full width of a cell membrane — providing antioxidant protection on both the interior and exterior faces simultaneously. This structural property is not shared by most other fat-soluble antioxidants including beta-carotene and vitamin E.

Why Combine OPC and Astaxanthin? — The Dual-Phase Antioxidant Logic

Property	Grape Seed OPC	Astaxanthin
Solubility	Water-soluble polyphenol	Fat-soluble carotenoid
Primary action site	Aqueous cellular environments, plasma	Lipid membranes, lipoproteins
Key structural targets	Collagen, elastin, capillary walls	Cell membrane bilayer, mitochondrial membrane
Source	Vitis vinifera grape seeds	Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae
Dose per capsule	300mg (192mg OPC at 64%)	3mg
Combined benefit	Together cover both aqueous and lipid phases of cellular antioxidant protection — complementary, not redundant	Together cover both aqueous and lipid phases — comprehensive dual coverage

FAQ 

 

What is OPC in Grape Seed Extract?

OPC stands for Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins — a class of water-soluble polyphenolic antioxidants found in exceptionally high concentrations in grape seeds. They are condensed tannins composed of catechin and epicatechin units, and are among the most potent free radical scavengers identified in plant sources. The 64% OPC standardisation in this product means each 300mg capsule delivers 192mg of pure OPC — a clinically meaningful dose in a single serving.

How does Grape Seed Extract benefit skin?

Grape Seed OPC interacts with collagen and elastin — the structural proteins that give skin its firmness, elasticity and smooth texture. OPC stabilise collagen crosslinks and protect elastin from degradation by oxidative enzymes. This biochemical relationship with skin structural proteins is one of the most studied aspects of OPC in nutritional science. As a food supplement, Grape Seed OPC supports normal skin collagen structure — it does not treat diagnosed skin conditions.

 

Can OPC support cardiovascular health?

OPC are among the most studied polyphenol compounds in relation to vascular function. They support normal microvascular integrity by interacting with collagen and elastin in capillary walls, and contribute to antioxidant protection of LDL particles from oxidative damage — a mechanistic step widely studied in cardiovascular nutrition research. As food supplements, OPC contribute to antioxidant support for the cardiovascular system — they do not treat or prevent cardiovascular disease.

 

What is the difference between OPC from grape seed and resveratrol?

Both OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) and resveratrol are polyphenols from Vitis vinifera grapes, but they are structurally distinct compounds. OPC are condensed tannins found primarily in grape seeds, with potent water-soluble antioxidant properties and documented interaction with structural proteins (collagen, elastin). Resveratrol is a stilbene found primarily in grape skin, researched for different cellular signalling pathways (sirtuins, AMPK). They are complementary, not interchangeable.

Berberine HCl 350mg + Ceylon Cinnamon 80mg – Plant-Based Support for Normal Carbohydrate Metabolism

Berberine is one of the most intensively studied plant alkaloids in modern metabolic nutrition science. Extracted from Berberis aristata (Indian barberry) and related Berberis species, Berberine has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic practice for over 2,000 years — originally for digestive and antimicrobial purposes, and more recently studied extensively in the context of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

Dr Gabriel’s® Berberine HCl 350mg + Ceylon Cinnamon combines 350mg of pharmaceutical-grade Berberine hydrochloride with 80mg of authentic Ceylon Cinnamon in each vegan capsule — a synergistic formula designed to support normal carbohydrate metabolism, normal blood lipid balance, and general metabolic wellbeing as part of an active, health-conscious lifestyle.

 

What Is Berberine — The Plant Alkaloid Behind the Research

Berberine (chemical name: 5,6-dihydro-9,10-dimethoxybenzo[g]-1,3-benzodioxolo[5,6-a]quinolizinium) is a quaternary ammonium alkaloid found in the bark, roots and rhizomes of several plants including Berberis aristata, Berberis vulgaris (barberry), Hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal) and Coptis chinensis (goldthread). Its characteristic bright yellow colour has been used as a dye for centuries.

In modern nutritional science, Berberine is one of the most frequently studied botanical compounds in the area of metabolic function. Its primary documented mechanism of action involves the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) — a cellular energy sensor that plays a central role in regulating glucose uptake, fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial biogenesis. This AMPK pathway is the same target engaged by the pharmaceutical drug metformin.

Ingredient 1 — Berberine HCl 350mg (Berberis aristata)

Berberine hydrochloride (HCl) is the salt form of Berberine — the most bioavailable and stable form for oral supplementation. At 350mg per capsule and 2–3 capsules daily (700–1050mg Berberine/day), this product delivers a dose in the range most commonly examined in the published scientific literature on Berberine and metabolic function.

 

Ingredient 2 — Ceylon Cinnamon 80mg (Cinnamomum verum)

Ceylon Cinnamon — Cinnamomum verum, also known as ‘true cinnamon’ — is botanically distinct from the more widely available Cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia or aromaticum). The distinction matters for several reasons: Ceylon Cinnamon contains significantly lower levels of coumarin — a naturally occurring compound found in high concentrations in Cassia cinnamon that carries safety concerns at high doses under EU food safety guidance (EFSA, 2008). At the dose in this formula (80mg/capsule), coumarin content from Ceylon Cinnamon is negligible and within all EU safety parameters.

Ceylon Cinnamon is rich in polyphenolic antioxidants (predominantly proanthocyanidins and cinnamaldehyde) and is traditionally associated with support for normal carbohydrate metabolism and digestive comfort. It complements Berberine’s AMPK-mediated mechanism by enhancing insulin receptor sensitivity through separate pathways — making the combination mechanistically coherent for metabolic support.

 

Ceylon vs. Cassia — Why It Matters: EU EFSA guidance (2008) identified coumarin in cinnamon as a concern at high doses. Cassia cinnamon contains 1–12g coumarin/kg; Ceylon cinnamon contains approximately 0.017g/kg — more than 200 times lower. At the 80mg Ceylon Cinnamon dose in this formula, coumarin intake is far below any safety threshold. This is a meaningful product quality distinction that should be communicated to consumers in AT/DE, where coumarin concerns are well-known.

FAQ

What is Berberine and how does it work?

Berberine is a plant alkaloid extracted from Berberis aristata and related plants, used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years. Its primary mechanism of action is the activation of AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) — a cellular energy sensor that regulates glucose uptake, fatty acid oxidation, and mitochondrial energy production. AMPK activation is also the mechanism of the pharmaceutical drug metformin, making Berberine one of the most pharmacologically interesting botanical compounds in metabolic nutrition research.

 

What is the difference between Berberine HCl and standard Berberine?

Berberine HCl (hydrochloride) is the salt form of Berberine — the most bioavailable and stable form for oral supplementation. Raw Berberis root powder contains Berberine in a less concentrated and less consistent form, with variable alkaloid content. Berberine HCl guarantees a precise, stable dose of pure Berberine per capsule, is more soluble in the digestive tract, and has superior bioavailability compared to raw plant powder.

 

Why is Ceylon Cinnamon included — and why not Cassia cinnamon?

Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is the authentic ‘true cinnamon’ — botanically distinct from the more widely sold Cassia cinnamon. The critical difference: Cassia cinnamon contains high levels of coumarin, which EFSA identified as a safety concern at high doses in 2008. Ceylon Cinnamon contains approximately 200 times less coumarin, making it the safe choice for daily supplementation. It also provides complementary metabolic support through a different mechanism than Berberine, making the combination synergistic.

 

Can I take Berberine if I am on metformin or other diabetes medication?

No — not without explicit guidance from your prescribing physician. Berberine activates the same biochemical pathway (AMPK) as metformin and may significantly potentiate (amplify) the blood glucose-lowering effect of diabetes medications including metformin, insulin, and sulphonylureas. Taking both without medical supervision increases the risk of hypoglycaemia (abnormally low blood sugar). If you take any blood glucose-lowering medication, discuss Berberine supplementation with your physician before use.

 

How long does it take for Berberine to show effects?

Most users report noticeable effects on energy levels, digestive comfort and metabolic wellbeing within 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use at 700–1050mg Berberine per day. Published research on Berberine typically assesses outcomes over 8–12 week periods. For optimal results, take consistently with meals — absorption is significantly improved with food, and gastric tolerance is better when Berberine is not taken on an empty stomach.

Wild Blueberry Extract 500mg – Anthocyanins for Antioxidant Protection, Visual Function & Brain Health

The wild blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) — known in botanical science as bilberry — is not merely a superfood by popular classification. It is one of the most extensively studied medicinal berries in European phytotherapy, with a documented history of traditional use spanning several centuries. Unlike the common cultivated blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), wild bilberry grows in mountainous and boreal environments across Europe and North America, producing smaller, more deeply pigmented berries with a substantially higher concentration of bioactive anthocyanins.

Dr Gabriel’s® Wild Blueberry Extract 500mg concentrates the polyphenol richness of this remarkable berry into a standardised, convenient vegan capsule — providing a potent daily dose of anthocyanins and associated flavonoids, recognised by the European Medicines Agency in its Community Herbal Monograph on Vaccinium myrtillus for traditional use in supporting normal visual function.

 

What Are Anthocyanins — The Science of the Blue-Purple Pigment

Anthocyanins are water-soluble polyphenolic pigments belonging to the flavonoid family of plant secondary metabolites. They are the compounds responsible for the deep blue, purple and red colours of berries, red cabbage, purple grapes and similar foods. In the wild blueberry, anthocyanins are present in exceptionally high concentrations — significantly higher than in cultivated blueberry varieties.

As antioxidants, anthocyanins have a well-documented capacity to neutralise free radicals and reactive oxygen species, contributing to the protection of cells — including neurons and retinal cells — from oxidative damage. They also interact with cellular signalling pathways relevant to vascular function and neuronal communication.

The following functional statements are aligned with the EMA Community Herbal Monograph on Vaccinium myrtillus (traditional use: visual function support), EU Regulation 1924/2006, EU Directive 2002/46/EC, and Google Health & Supplement Guidelines:

• Provides potent antioxidant protection — anthocyanins neutralise free radicals and reactive oxygen species, contributing to cellular protection from oxidative stress across multiple tissue types
• Supports normal visual function — Vaccinium myrtillus is recognised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in its Community Herbal Monograph for traditional use in supporting normal visual function, including adaptation to low-light conditions and visual comfort during screen use
• Supports normal retinal cell function — anthocyanins are documented to interact with rhodopsin regeneration in the retina and support normal microvascular integrity of retinal blood vessels (traditional use framing)
• Contributes to normal cognitive function — anthocyanins cross the blood-brain barrier and are associated with normal neuronal communication and cognitive wellbeing; traditionally used to support memory and concentration
• Supports normal peripheral blood circulation — wild blueberry flavonoids are traditionally associated with normal microvascular function and capillary integrity throughout the body

Traditional Use & Regulatory Context

Vaccinium myrtillus has been used in European traditional medicine for centuries — initially as a food and later as a medicinal plant for conditions affecting the eyes and circulation. During World War II, British Royal Air Force pilots reportedly consumed bilberry jam to improve night vision, a practice that contributed to the modern research interest in anthocyanins and visual function.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has issued a Community Herbal Monograph recognising Vaccinium myrtillus fruit for traditional use to relieve symptoms of ocular fatigue and to support normal visual function. This places wild blueberry among a select group of botanicals with formal EU-level traditional use recognition — providing a legitimate regulatory framing for visual support claims when correctly attributed to traditional use.

FAQ

What is Wild Blueberry Extract and why is it different from regular blueberry?

Wild Blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus, also known as bilberry) is a distinct botanical species from the common cultivated blueberry. The key difference: wild bilberry anthocyanins are present throughout the entire flesh of the berry, giving it a significantly higher polyphenol concentration than cultivated varieties where anthocyanins are found only in the skin. It is the wild species that is referenced in the EMA Community Herbal Monograph and in the majority of traditional use and research literature.

 

What are anthocyanins and what do they do?

Anthocyanins are water-soluble polyphenol pigments from the flavonoid family — the compounds responsible for the deep blue and purple colour of wild blueberries. They are among the most studied antioxidant plant compounds, documented to neutralise free radicals, protect cells from oxidative damage, support retinal cell function, and cross the blood-brain barrier to support normal neuronal communication. They are found in highest concentrations in dark berries, red cabbage and purple grapes.

 

Can Wild Blueberry Extract help with eye health?

Wild Blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is recognised by the European Medicines Agency in its Community Herbal Monograph for traditional use in supporting normal visual function, including adaptation to low-light conditions and visual comfort. As a food supplement, Wild Blueberry Extract supports normal visual function — it does not treat or prevent eye diseases. Individuals with diagnosed eye conditions should consult an ophthalmologist.

 

Is Wild Blueberry Extract good for the brain?

Anthocyanins from wild blueberry have the notable ability to cross the blood-brain barrier — meaning they can interact directly with neuronal tissue. Research has examined their role in normal cognitive function, memory support, and protection of brain cells from oxidative stress. As a food supplement, Wild Blueberry Extract supports normal cognitive wellbeing and concentration. It does not treat or diagnose cognitive conditions.

 

How long does it take for Wild Blueberry Extract to show effects?

Anthocyanins are rapidly absorbed after ingestion — studies show detectable plasma levels within hours of consumption. However, cumulative antioxidant and tissue-protective effects require consistent daily supplementation over 4–6 weeks. For visual comfort improvements (reduced eye fatigue, better low-light adaptation), most users in traditional use and research contexts report noticeable differences after 3–4 weeks of daily use at 1000–1500mg extract per day.

MSM Capsules 500mg – Organic Sulphur for Joint Comfort, Connective Tissue & Healthy Skin

Methylsulfonylmethane — universally known as MSM — is a naturally occurring, organic sulphur compound found in small quantities in many whole foods including green vegetables, fruits, grains and dairy products. In supplement form, MSM provides a concentrated, bioavailable source of sulphur: the third most abundant mineral in the human body by mass, and one of the least discussed in mainstream nutrition.

Sulphur is not just another mineral. It is a structural element of fundamental biological importance — a core component of two essential amino acids (methionine and cysteine), and therefore of every protein that contains them. This includes collagen and keratin: the primary structural proteins of joints, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, skin, hair and nails. MSM supplementation provides the organic sulphur substrate that supports the body’s natural production and maintenance of these connective tissue proteins.

 

What Is MSM — The Chemistry Behind the Supplement

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane, chemical formula: (CH₃)₂SO₂) is a sulphur-containing compound that occurs naturally in the environment and in living organisms. It is a metabolite of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) — a compound produced naturally in the ocean by phytoplankton as part of the global sulphur cycle.

In the human body, MSM is a donor of bioavailable organic sulphur. Unlike inorganic sulphates, which have limited cellular uptake, the sulphur in MSM is highly bioavailable and is incorporated into sulphur-containing amino acids, glutathione (the body’s primary endogenous antioxidant), and structural proteins of connective tissue.

Supported Body Functions — Compliant Claims

The following functional statements are aligned with EU Regulation 1924/2006, EU Directive 2002/46/EC, and Google Health & Supplement Guidelines. No specific EFSA-approved health claims exist for MSM — all statements use general function framing and factual biochemical language:

• Provides organic sulphur as a structural building block — sulphur is an essential component of the amino acids methionine and cysteine, which are key constituents of collagen, keratin and other connective tissue proteins
• Supports normal connective tissue maintenance — collagen and keratin, which depend on sulphur-containing amino acids, form the structural foundation of joints, tendons, cartilage, ligaments, skin, hair and nails
• Contributes to normal joint comfort as part of an active lifestyle — MSM is one of the most widely used supplements for joint support in the AT/DE adult market
• Supports skin structure — keratin and collagen, which require sulphur-containing amino acids, are the primary structural proteins of the epidermis
• Contributes to normal antioxidant defence — sulphur is a component of glutathione (the body’s primary endogenous antioxidant), and MSM provides the organic sulphur substrate for its synthesis
• Supports normal muscle recovery after physical exertion — sulphur-containing amino acids play a role in protein synthesis and tissue repair following exercise (general function framing only)

Who Is This Product For?

• Adults aged 35–65 who want natural, non-pharmaceutical support for normal joint mobility and comfort
• Active adults and fitness enthusiasts who want to support normal connective tissue maintenance and muscle recovery

FAQ 

What is MSM and what is it used for?

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring, organic sulphur compound used as a dietary supplement. It is a concentrated source of bioavailable organic sulphur — an essential structural mineral for the amino acids methionine and cysteine, which are building blocks of collagen and keratin. MSM supplements are most commonly used for joint comfort support, connective tissue maintenance, and skin, hair and nail health.

How does MSM support joints?

MSM provides organic sulphur, which is incorporated into the sulphur-containing amino acids (methionine and cysteine) that form part of collagen and proteoglycans — key structural components of cartilage, tendons and joint tissue. MSM also contributes to the body’s natural glutathione synthesis, supporting antioxidant protection in connective tissues. It works as a structural substrate, not as an anti-inflammatory drug.

Is MSM the same as glucosamine or collagen?

No — they are complementary, not interchangeable. Glucosamine is a cartilage precursor that provides a direct building block for joint cartilage. Collagen peptides supply ready-made amino acids for collagen synthesis. MSM provides organic sulphur: the upstream mineral that is incorporated into the sulphur-containing amino acids needed for both collagen and cartilage protein structures. They work through different mechanisms and are often combined in joint support stacks.

Can MSM improve skin, hair and nails?

MSM provides organic sulphur, which is a structural component of keratin — the primary protein of hair, nails and the outer layer of skin. Sulphur is sometimes called the ‘beauty mineral’ because of this structural role. As a food supplement, MSM supports the body’s natural keratin and collagen synthesis pathways. Visible effects on skin, hair and nails typically require consistent daily use over several weeks.

How long does MSM take to work — and is it safe long-term?

MSM is water-soluble and well tolerated by most healthy adults at 1000–3000mg per day. Effects on connective tissue are gradual — most users report noticeable differences in joint comfort and skin quality after 4–8 weeks of consistent daily use. Long-term daily use is generally considered safe in healthy adults. Individuals taking blood-thinning medications should consult a healthcare professional before use, as MSM may have mild anticoagulant properties.

Ashwagandha Root Extract 3000mg – Adaptogenic Support for Stress, Sleep & Vitality | 90 Vegan Caps

In the modern landscape of stress, sleep disruption and cognitive overload, Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has become one of the most sought-after botanical supplements in Europe — and for good reason. This small shrub, native to the dry regions of India, North Africa and the Mediterranean, has been central to Ayurvedic medicine for more than 3,000 years. Its root is revered as a Rasayana — a Sanskrit concept meaning a substance that promotes longevity, vitality and the resilience of body and mind.

Dr Gabriel’s® Ashwagandha Root Extract 3000mg bridges this ancient tradition with modern supplement science: a 15:1 concentrated extract standardised to 1.54% withanolides — the primary bioactive compounds responsible for Ashwagandha’s adaptogenic properties — delivering 3000mg of root equivalent in a single convenient daily capsule.

 

What Is an Adaptogen — And Why Does It Matter?

The term ‘adaptogen’ describes a class of botanical substances that support the body’s natural ability to maintain balance and resilience under conditions of physical or psychological stress. The concept was first formally developed in Soviet sports medicine research in the mid-20th century, drawing on traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal practices.

Adaptogens do not work by stimulating or sedating — they support the body’s own regulatory mechanisms. Ashwagandha is classified as one of the most clinically researched adaptogens in the world, with a growing body of published human trials examining its effects on stress biomarkers, sleep quality, and general wellbeing.

Traditional Use Background — Ashwagandha in Context

Withania somnifera is one of the most important medicinal plants in Ayurvedic medicine, where it has been used for over 3,000 years as a Rasayana — a class of herbal preparations considered restorative and life-promoting. The name ‘Ashwagandha’ derives from Sanskrit: ‘ashwa’ (horse) and ‘gandha’ (smell), a reference both to the earthy aroma of the root and the traditional belief that the plant imparted the strength and vitality of a horse.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has issued a Community Herbal Monograph recognising Withania somnifera for traditional use in the relief of symptoms of mild stress and as a sleep aid — acknowledging its documented use history across multiple traditional medicine systems in Europe and Asia.

FAQ

What is Ashwagandha and what is it used for?

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an adaptogenic plant used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years. As an adaptogen, it is traditionally used to support the body’s natural resilience during periods of stress, to promote restful sleep, and to contribute to normal energy levels and vitality. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) recognises Withania somnifera in its Community Herbal Monograph for traditional use in mild stress relief and sleep support.

What does ‘3000mg Ashwagandha extract’ mean?

‘3000mg’ refers to the whole root equivalent dose — each capsule contains 200mg of a 15:1 concentrated extract, which represents the phytochemical content of 3000mg (3g) of whole Ashwagandha root. A standardised extract with a guaranteed withanolide percentage is significantly more consistent and potent than raw root powder, where bioactive content varies considerably by batch and origin.

What are withanolides and why do they matter?

Withanolides are the primary bioactive compounds in Ashwagandha root — a class of steroidal lactones unique to Withania somnifera. They are considered responsible for the majority of Ashwagandha’s adaptogenic properties. Standardised extracts with a guaranteed withanolide percentage (such as 1.54% in this product) ensure that each capsule delivers a consistent, meaningful dose of these compounds — unlike unstandardised root powders where withanolide content may be negligible.

How long does Ashwagandha take to work?

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen — it works cumulatively rather than acutely. Most users report noticeable effects on sleep quality and stress resilience after 4 to 6 weeks of consistent daily use. Research studies examining Ashwagandha’s effects on stress biomarkers typically run for 8 to 12 weeks, with meaningful improvements observed at the 8-week mark. Daily consistency is more important than dose size for adaptogenic botanicals.

Is Ashwagandha safe — who should avoid it?

Ashwagandha has a well-established traditional safety profile for healthy adults at recommended doses. It should not be used by: pregnant or breastfeeding women (uterine stimulant properties documented in traditional sources); individuals with autoimmune conditions (immune-modulating effects); those taking thyroid medication (Ashwagandha may influence thyroid hormone levels — medical supervision required); individuals on blood-thinning medications. If you take any prescription medication, consult your healthcare professional before use.

Heart Rescue & Support Capsules – Five-Ingredient Cardiovascular Formula | Black Seed Oil, EPA/DHA, Astaxanthin, Red Yeast Rice & Cinnamon

Cardiovascular health is one of the most searched wellness topics across Austria and Germany — and for good reason. Heart and circulatory conditions represent the leading category of health concern for adults over 50 in the DACH region. Dr Gabriel’s® Heart Rescue & Support Capsules were developed to address this concern through a comprehensive, multi-ingredient botanical and marine formula, bringing together five ingredients with documented roles in cardiovascular and lipid metabolism research.

This is not a single-ingredient supplement. Heart Rescue & Support Capsules combine five complementary active components — Black Seed Oil, Cod Liver Fish Oil (EPA/DHA), Astaxanthin, Red Yeast Rice (Monacolin K) and Ceylon Cinnamon — each contributing to the formula from a different biochemical angle, in a convenient oil-filled capsule format.

 

The Five Ingredients — What Each Contributes

 

1. Cold-Pressed Black Seed Oil (Nigella sativa) — Own Production, Mostar

The Black Seed Oil in this formula comes from Dr Gabriel’s own cold-pressing facility in Mostar — the same extra virgin, first-press oil used in our standalone Black Seed Oil product. Rich in thymoquinone, Omega-6 (linoleic acid) and Omega-9 (oleic acid) fatty acids, and naturally occurring B vitamins, Black Seed Oil contributes its well-established antioxidant and traditional-use properties to the formula as the foundational oil base.

 

2. Cod Liver Fish Oil — EPA & DHA Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Cod Liver Oil is one of the richest natural sources of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) — the two long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids with the strongest EFSA-approved cardiovascular health claim evidence base. Cod Liver Oil also provides naturally occurring Vitamin A and Vitamin D, contributing additional nutritional value to the formula beyond the Omega-3 content.

EFSA-APPROVED CLAIMS FOR EPA/DHA (applicable if daily dose delivers sufficient EPA+DHA): EFSA ID 1212: ‘DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function’ (250mg DHA/day). EFSA ID 2382: ‘EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart’ (250mg EPA+DHA/day). EFSA ID 514: ‘EPA and DHA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels’ (2g EPA+DHA/day). NOTE: Which claims apply depends on the EPA/DHA quantity per capsule at the standard dose — dose confirmation required from lab certificate before publishing these claims.

3. Astaxanthin (Haematococcus pluvialis)

Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid antioxidant — naturally occurring in the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. As the most potent lipid-soluble antioxidant in the formula, Astaxanthin provides antioxidant protection specifically within lipid membranes and lipoproteins — the biological environments where LDL oxidation occurs. Its inclusion in an oil-based formula is scientifically coherent, as fat solubility enhances its bioavailability from an oil matrix.

 

4. Red Yeast Rice Extract (containing Monacolin K — 3mg per daily serving)

Red Yeast Rice is produced by fermenting white rice with the yeast Monascus purpureus. This fermentation process naturally produces Monacolin K — a compound chemically identical to lovastatin, a pharmaceutical statin, which inhibits the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase responsible for cholesterol biosynthesis in the liver.

MANDATORY REGULATORY DISCLOSURE — MONACOLIN K: This product contains Monacolin K from red yeast rice — 3mg per daily serving. EU Regulation 2022/2340 establishes specific requirements for all red yeast rice food supplements. The EFSA-authorised health claim for Monacolin K (ID 1648: ‘contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels’) requires 10mg per day and CANNOT be used at the 3mg daily dose in this product. The compliant declaration is factual only: ‘Contains Red Yeast Rice providing 3mg Monacolin K per daily serving.’ All mandatory warnings (see Section 6) MUST appear prominently on packaging, product page, and all marketing materials.

5. Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)

Ceylon Cinnamon (true cinnamon, as distinct from the more common Cassia cinnamon) is included in this formula for its traditionally recognised role in supporting normal carbohydrate metabolism and its well-documented antioxidant polyphenol content. Ceylon Cinnamon provides a natural complementary element to the formula’s cardiovascular focus, particularly in relation to normal blood lipid and glucose metabolism — consistent with its traditional use across Ayurvedic and East Asian medicine systems.

FAQ 

What is Red Yeast Rice and why is it in a heart supplement?

Red Yeast Rice is produced by fermenting white rice with the yeast Monascus purpureus. This fermentation naturally produces Monacolin K — a compound that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme responsible for cholesterol production in the liver. It is included in this formula as a natural source of Monacolin K at 3mg per daily serving, alongside Black Seed Oil, Cod Liver Fish Oil (EPA/DHA), Astaxanthin and Ceylon Cinnamon, in a comprehensive cardiovascular support formula.

 

Can I take Heart Rescue Capsules if I am on statins?

No. If you are currently taking any statin medication (including atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin, pravastatin or lovastatin), you must NOT take this product. Monacolin K from Red Yeast Rice is chemically identical to lovastatin and acts through the same biochemical pathway. Taking both simultaneously increases the risk of statin-related side effects, including muscle pain and liver strain. This is a mandatory safety warning under EU Regulation 2022/2340 and must be followed without exception.

 

Why does this product contain fish oil — is it vegan?

No. Heart Rescue & Support Capsules contain Cod Liver Fish Oil — a natural source of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as naturally occurring Vitamin A and Vitamin D. This product is NOT suitable for vegetarians or vegans, or for individuals with a fish allergy. If you are looking for a vegan cardiovascular supplement, please see other Dr Gabriel’s® products that do not contain fish-derived ingredients.

 

What does 3mg Monacolin K per day mean for me?

3mg of Monacolin K per daily serving is the dose provided by this supplement. The EU-authorised EFSA health claim for Monacolin K (that it contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels) requires 10mg per day — this product does not reach that threshold and therefore does not carry that specific claim. The 3mg dose contributes to the overall multi-ingredient cardiovascular formula at a level considered appropriate for food supplement use. Individuals with diagnosed cholesterol conditions should consult their physician before use.

 

What are the benefits of oil capsules vs. dry capsules for heart supplements?

Oil capsules (softgel-style or oil-filled vegan capsules) offer superior bioavailability for fat-soluble ingredients. Monacolin K, Astaxanthin, Vitamin A and Vitamin D are all fat-soluble — they require dietary fat for effective absorption. In an oil capsule format, these ingredients are already dissolved in a lipid matrix (Black Seed Oil + Cod Liver Oil), which significantly improves their bioavailability compared to dry powder capsule formats where the fat-soluble ingredients must first be solubilised by dietary fat in the digestive tract

Heart Rescue & Support Oil 250ml – Five-Ingredient Liquid Cardiovascular Formula | Black Seed Oil, EPA/DHA, Astaxanthin, Red Yeast Rice & Cinnamon

Dr Gabriel’s® Heart Rescue & Support Oil brings the same powerful five-ingredient cardiovascular formula as our Heart Rescue Capsules — but in the format that many of our most devoted users have relied on since the product’s creation: a liquid oil blend that delivers all five active components simultaneously in their most natural, bioavailable form.

For the Hatidža persona — and for the growing segment of AT/DE health consumers who prefer the whole-food experience of a liquid supplement over a capsule — the oil format offers unique advantages: simultaneous delivery of all fat-soluble compounds in a pre-dissolved lipid matrix, the authentic aroma and taste of real food-grade oils, and the flexibility to adjust daily intake with a simple tablespoon measure.

 

The Five Ingredients — Liquid Formula Advantages

 

1. Cold-Pressed Black Seed Oil (Nigella sativa) — Own Production, Mostar

The foundation of this formula is Dr Gabriel’s own cold-pressed extra virgin Black Seed Oil — produced from raw seed to finished oil in our Mostar facility. This is the same premium oil used in our standalone Black Seed Oil 250ml product: unrefined, first-press, with full retention of thymoquinone, Omega-6/9 fatty acids and naturally occurring B vitamins (B1, B2, B9). In the liquid formula, it serves as both a bioactive ingredient and the primary oil carrier for the other fat-soluble components.

 

2. Cod Liver Fish Oil — EPA & DHA Omega-3 Fatty Acids + Vitamins A & D

Cod Liver Oil is one of nature’s richest sources of EPA and DHA — the long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids with the strongest published evidence base for cardiovascular function support. In a liquid oil format, Cod Liver Oil blends seamlessly with the Black Seed Oil base, creating a combined Omega-3/6/9 fatty acid profile. Cod Liver Oil also provides naturally occurring Vitamin A and Vitamin D — both fat-soluble vitamins that are directly bioavailable in an oil matrix without need for additional emulsification.

 

EFSA-APPROVED CLAIMS FOR EPA/DHA (applicable if daily dose delivers sufficient EPA+DHA): EFSA ID 2382: ‘EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart’ (≥250mg EPA+DHA/day). EFSA ID 514: ‘EPA and DHA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels’ (≥2g EPA+DHA/day). EFSA ID 506: ‘EPA and DHA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure’ (≥3g EPA+DHA/day). NOTE: Which specific claims are applicable depends on the EPA/DHA content per daily tablespoon dose — confirmation required from Certificate of Analysis before publishing these specific claims.

 

3. Astaxanthin (Haematococcus pluvialis)

Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid — and in a liquid oil formula, it is perfectly placed: dissolved in the oil matrix, it is immediately bioavailable and requires no additional lipid for absorption. Astaxanthin provides potent antioxidant protection within lipid environments — protecting the fatty acids in this formula (and in the body’s own cell membranes and lipoproteins) from oxidative degradation.

 

4. Red Yeast Rice Extract (containing Monacolin K — 3mg per daily serving)

Red Yeast Rice is naturally produced by fermenting white rice with Monascus purpureus yeast. This process produces Monacolin K — a compound that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme responsible for endogenous cholesterol production. In the liquid formula, Red Yeast Rice extract is incorporated to provide its traditional role in the Heart Rescue formulation. Monacolin K content is confirmed at 3mg per daily serving.

5. Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)

Ceylon Cinnamon (true cinnamon) completes the formula with its polyphenol antioxidant content and traditional use association with normal carbohydrate metabolism. In the liquid format, Ceylon Cinnamon also contributes a warm, characteristic flavour note — along with the Natural Flavouring — that gives the Heart Rescue Oil its distinctive taste profile. As with all ingredients in this formula, Ceylon Cinnamon (not Cassia) is used to ensure ultra-low coumarin content consistent with EU food safety guidance.

All Ingredients

• Contains fish (Cod Liver Oil) — NOT suitable for vegetarians, vegans or individuals with fish allergy. Mandatory allergen declaration required under EU Reg. 1169/2011 Annex II

FAQ

What is Heart Rescue Oil and what does it contain?

Heart Rescue & Support Oil is a 250ml liquid cardiovascular formula containing five ingredients: Cold-Pressed Black Seed Oil (Nigella sativa, from Dr Gabriel’s own Mostar production), Cod Liver Fish Oil (EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids), Astaxanthin (from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae), Red Yeast Rice Extract (providing 3mg Monacolin K per daily serving), and Ceylon Cinnamon. It is not suitable for vegetarians, vegans, or individuals taking statin medication.

 

Why does Heart Rescue Oil need to be shaken before use?

Heart Rescue Oil is a multi-ingredient oil blend containing both oil-soluble compounds (Astaxanthin, Cod Liver Oil) and plant extracts (Red Yeast Rice, Cinnamon) that naturally settle over time. Shaking before each use ensures that all five ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the bottle and that each tablespoon dose delivers a consistent and complete serving. This is especially important for consistent Monacolin K dosing from the Red Yeast Rice component.

 

What is the difference between Heart Rescue Oil and Heart Rescue Capsules?

Both products contain the same five ingredients in the same formula. The oil format (250ml bottle) is preferred by users who enjoy the whole-food experience of a liquid supplement, have difficulty swallowing capsules, or prefer the traditional oil remedy format. The capsule format offers precise dosing convenience, portability and no taste. Neither is strictly superior — they suit different user preferences and lifestyles. Both provide 3mg Monacolin K per daily serving and carry the same contraindications.

 

Why must Heart Rescue Oil be used within 3 months of opening?

Heart Rescue Oil contains natural, unrefined oils — particularly Cold-Pressed Black Seed Oil and Cod Liver Oil — which are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. These fatty acids are susceptible to oxidation upon exposure to air, light and heat. Oxidised oils lose nutritional value and develop off-flavours. The 3-month use-after-opening guideline ensures the oil is consumed before significant oxidation occurs. Refrigerating after opening and keeping the cap tightly closed extends freshness within this window.

 

Can I take Heart Rescue Oil if I take medication for cholesterol or heart disease?

No — not without explicit guidance from your prescribing physician. This product contains Monacolin K from Red Yeast Rice, which acts through the same biochemical pathway as statin medications. If you take any statin (atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin, etc.) or any other prescribed cardiovascular medication, you must NOT use this product without direct guidance from your physician. Concurrent use increases the risk of statin-related side effects including muscle damage. This is a mandatory safety requirement under EU Regulation 2022/2340.

Coenzyme Q10 100mg Ubiquinone – Cellular Energy & Cardiovascular Vitality | 90 Vegan Capsules

Coenzyme Q10 — also known as CoQ10, Ubiquinone, or simply CoQ — is one of the most fundamentally important molecules in human physiology. Present in every cell of the body, CoQ10 functions as a critical component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain: the biochemical pathway through which cells generate ATP, the primary fuel source for virtually every biological process in the human body.

Unlike many supplements that introduce external compounds, CoQ10 is a molecule your body already produces — and relies upon. The critical issue is that natural endogenous CoQ10 production declines significantly with age. Research indicates a reduction of approximately 30% between the ages of 40 and 60, precisely the period of life when sustained energy, cardiovascular efficiency and cellular resilience become most important.

Dr Gabriel’s® Coenzyme Q10 delivers a clean, 100mg Ubiquinone dose per vegan capsule — supporting your body’s natural energy metabolism pathways with the form of CoQ10 your cells already know how to use.

 

Understanding CoQ10 — Ubiquinone vs. Ubiquinol

CoQ10 exists in two primary forms in the body, and understanding the difference helps you make an informed supplement choice:

Property	Ubiquinone (this product)	Ubiquinol
State	Oxidised form	Reduced (active antioxidant) form
Body conversion	Converted to Ubiquinol after absorption	Pre-converted — ready for direct use
Absorption	Good — well-studied at 100mg dose	Higher bioavailability in older adults
Cost	More accessible — standard supplement form	Typically higher price point
Best suited to	Adults 18–55 with normal conversion capacity	Adults 55+ or those with conversion concerns
Research base	Extensive — decades of published clinical data	Growing, more recent evidence base

Dr Gabriel’s® CoQ10 uses the Ubiquinone form — the most extensively studied and widely used CoQ10 form in the scientific literature, with a strong safety and efficacy record at the 100mg dose level.

CoQ10 and Statin Users — An Important Context

One of the most clinically relevant aspects of CoQ10 supplementation is its relationship with statin medications (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors), widely prescribed for cholesterol management. Statins reduce cholesterol biosynthesis through the mevalonate pathway — the same metabolic pathway through which the body synthesises CoQ10. This means statin therapy is associated with reduced endogenous CoQ10 production.

This is a frequently searched topic in the AT/DE market and a primary reason why many adults over 50 seek CoQ10 supplementation. Dr Gabriel’s® makes no medicinal claims about statins or their interactions — we simply note that CoQ10 is a molecule of documented physiological importance whose endogenous levels may be affected by certain pharmaceutical approaches. Always consult a healthcare professional regarding medication interactions.

Important: If you are currently taking prescription medications — including statins, anticoagulants or antihypertensive drugs — consult your physician or pharmacist before adding CoQ10 supplementation to your routine. This product is a food supplement, not a pharmaceutical intervention.

FAQ 

What does CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) do in the body?

Coenzyme Q10 is a molecule found in every cell of the body, where it plays two primary roles: it is a critical component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain — the process through which cells generate ATP energy — and it functions as a fat-soluble antioxidant, protecting cells and mitochondria from oxidative damage. The heart, liver and kidneys contain the highest concentrations of CoQ10 in the body.

 

What is the difference between Ubiquinone and Ubiquinol?

Ubiquinone is the oxidised form of CoQ10 — the standard supplement form with decades of research behind it. After absorption, the body converts Ubiquinone into Ubiquinol, the active antioxidant form. Ubiquinol skips this conversion step and may have higher bioavailability in older adults. For most adults under 55 with normal metabolic function, Ubiquinone at 100mg per day is well-absorbed and widely considered effective.

 

Why do CoQ10 levels decline with age?

The body synthesises CoQ10 endogenously through a complex enzymatic pathway. This capacity naturally declines with age — research indicates a reduction of approximately 30% between the ages of 40 and 60. Additionally, certain pharmaceutical interventions (notably statins, which share a biosynthetic pathway with CoQ10) are associated with reduced CoQ10 production. Both factors make CoQ10 supplementation particularly relevant for adults in midlife and beyond.

 

Should I take CoQ10 if I am on statins?

Statin medications work via the mevalonate pathway — the same pathway the body uses to synthesise CoQ10. For this reason, statin therapy is associated with reduced endogenous CoQ10 levels. Whether CoQ10 supplementation is appropriate alongside your specific statin regimen is a medical question best answered by your prescribing physician or pharmacist. Dr Gabriel’s® makes no medicinal claims — always consult your healthcare professional before combining supplements with prescription medication.

 

When is the best time to take CoQ10?

CoQ10 is fat-soluble, meaning it is best absorbed when taken alongside a meal containing healthy fats. The main meal of the day is generally the optimal timing. At a dose of 1 capsule (100mg) per day, a single daily dose is sufficient for most adults. At 2 capsules per day, splitting the dose between morning and evening meals can improve sustained absorption throughout the day.
