Loquat Leaf, Fruit, and Stem extracts, grown and ethically harvested in Bvlbancha, Raw Local Honey, Apple Cider Vinegar

Loquat fruit is high in carotenoid antioxidants, which prevent cellular damage and may protect against disease. Carotenoids are also precursors to vitamin A, which is essential for healthy vision, immune function, and cellular growth. In addition, loquats boast folate and vitamin B6, which are important for energy production and blood cell formation. They provide magnesium and potassium, which are essential for nerve and muscle function, as well as manganese, which supports bone health and metabolism. Loquats contain small amounts of vitamin C, thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), copper, iron, calcium, and phosphorus. they’re an excellent source of carotenoid antioxidants, including beta carotene. Carotenoids have been shown to enhance your immune system, reduce inflammation, and protect against heart and eye disorders. In particular, diets rich in beta carotene have been linked to a lower risk of certain cancers, including colorectal and lung cancer. Loquats are rich in phenolic compounds, which possess antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties and may help safeguard against several conditions, including diabetes and heart disease.

Loquat Leaf contains an antioxidant known as Amygdalin, or B-17, which supports the liver. It also contains linoleic acids and plant sterols, which encourage normal liver function. Support for blood sugar levels is another benefit offered by the triterpenes in loquat leaf. One triterpene in particular, tormentic acid, encourages polysaccharide production – a necessary component of insulin production. Support for the respiratory system is the most well known use of the traditional use of loquat leaf. It's been used as a remedy for congestion, cough, sensitivity to irritants, and even lung irritation. Clinical research has confirmed its efficacy. A 2009 study at the Kyungpook National University School of Medicine found that loquat leaf slowed the allergic reactions in mice. Other animal models have found that it helps to reduce sneezing and the effects of histamines. The primary reason loquat leaf is so beneficial is because it stops irritation from ever occurring. A separate study in 2009 found that loquat leaf disrupts the communication from the cells that detect irritation and "turn on" the redness and swelling response. 

Because loquat leaf is a beneficial antioxidant, it was examined in 2011 for its ability to support normal brain operation and protect against oxidative stress. Not only did the results confirm both, but mice given loquat leaf extract were observed to experience memory improvements.

All of our plant medicines are locally grown in and around Bvlbancha. We only harvest our plant relatives in good relation with the Earth, their spirit, and during their season. Bvlbancha collective members harvest and prepare our medicine collectively. 75% of our medicine goes back to the Indigenous community in and around Bvlbancha, as well as to people in need. Only 25% of our medicines are marked for sale. The sale of those medicines goes to support Indigenous communities locally and through solidarity.
