Guava is a little-known tropical plant with pear-shaped fruits. It originates from Central America and the Caribbean, but is now grown throughout the tropical and subtropical regions. Due to its rich nutritional value and medicinal properties, guava fruits have been labeled as a superfruit. Bioactive ingredients present in guava fruits and leaves have been of interest to scientists for years, who are seeking remedies with antibacterial, anticancer, antidiabetic properties and more. With such a recommendation, we did not hesitate and promptly proceeded to create an extract from this exotic plant's fruit, as there is no doubt that it must have extraordinary power.
Guava fruit and leaf extracts are a rich source of phenolic compounds such as quercetin, kaempferol, esculetin, and many others. In vitro studies conducted so far indicate a tremendous medicinal potential of this plant. Beneficial effects have been observed in the treatment of gastrointestinal inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, degenerative muscle diseases, and inflammatory conditions such as rheumatism, as well as supporting wound healing.
Our offer includes water, water-glycerin, and water-glycol extracts.
