3 Active substances in <strong>AQUARICH</strong> ®<br />
3.1 Black oat (Avena strigosa)<br />
From the Far East, very old r<strong>eco</strong>rds exist which prove that oat was cultivated by early civilizations.<br />
Due to its properties as a foodstuff, its triumphal march into our latitudes could not be halted, the<br />
oat also thrived excellently in our climate zones. Oat was planted more and more frequently.<br />
However, the demand for more fertile and more productive kinds of oat has caused the original oat<br />
(Avena strigosa) to vanish into oblivion. Today, mainly Avena sativa, or common oat, is grown.<br />
The genus Avena strigosa is designated as the original oat. Originally<br />
a wild-growing plant, it was laboriously harvested by hand. Due to its<br />
low yield of grain per ear, the search for more productive kinds started<br />
soon and was successful. Nowadays, mainly Avena sativa is<br />
cultivated, which, although has shorter ears than black oat, is much<br />
more productive and is therefore much more interesting for the<br />
industrial countries.<br />
The grain of the black oat purely contains the<br />
unique vigor of the original plant.<br />
Despite adverse conditions, it has managed<br />
to survive until modern times and is revived in<br />
the moisturizer <strong>AQUARICH</strong>®.<br />
It is not surprising that black oat is used in<br />
several dietary supplements for performance<br />
enhancement. Equestrian sport insiders have<br />
used black oat to increase the performance of<br />
race horses by releasing their power reserves<br />
over longer time. In view of this and the fact<br />
that in the top-class sport industry, black oat<br />
is preferably used instead of common oat<br />
(although it is more easily available on the market at lower costs), this speaks for the uniqueness of<br />
the original oat.<br />
This primary source of vitality and vigor contains a wide range of ingredients.<br />
Polysaccharides are the main component of oats. The high content of high-molecular glucose<br />
building blocks is even more important. Particularly the high content of beta glucan in the oat grain<br />
makes it very valuable for cosmetic applications. Thanks to beta glucan, the skin feels soft and<br />
supple and can bind water better. The natural repair and protective function is also optimised by<br />
beta glucan. Due to the existence of various saponins, (avenacin, avenacosid) the oat grain extract<br />
has an antibiotic effect.<br />
In addition, amino acids, the irreplaceable building blocks of living tissue, are present in much<br />
higher concentrations in oat than in other types of cereal. Oat contains all eight essential amino<br />
acids.<br />
