• Fast carbohydrates (fructose, glucose) are substances that quickly penetrate into the bloodstream and nourish the body. They provide nutrition to blood vessels and the heart muscle without increasing the load.
• Steroids are substances of plant origin with high biological activity. Regulate cardiac activity, eliminate the symptoms of arrhythmia.
• Phenolcarboxylic acids are acids that simultaneously have the properties of phenols and carboxylic acids. Antiseptic properties are due to the presence of phenol. Carboxylic acids have a bactericidal effect, leading to the death of microorganisms.
• Saponins are enzymes that produce a diuretic, mild relaxing, sedative, anti-ulcer and anti-sclerotic effect. They increase the secretion of all glands, contributing to the liquefaction of sputum in the bronchi and its removal from the body. They help the absorption of nutrients and medicines, increase appetite.

Flavonoids help strengthen cell membranes of internal organs, maintain the proper level of calcium and magnesium, regulate the mechanism of protein formation, and block free radicals.
