The shell of the black walnut (Juglans nigra) comes from the immature fruits of the black walnut tree (Juglans nigra).
Black walnut (Juglans nigra, also known as 'black nut') is a species of walnut that grows naturally only in the United States and Canada, hence the term American black walnut. Juglans nigra belongs to the walnut family.
The fruits are dark brown and have a strong odor distinct from European walnuts. In America, the use of black walnut has long been common among herbalists. It is often used in the form of an extract or tincture in herbal medicine, because this way the active substances are optimally preserved. The fruits are edible and contain polyphenols, tannins, juglon, tannins and omega fatty acids.

Blackberries are not only delicious, but also extremely nutritious. They are packed with essential nutrients and dietary fiber. These dark purple treats are a rich source of vitamins C, E, K, folic acid and manganese, making them an important contribution to a healthy diet.
The intense purple color of blackberries is caused by anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that protect our cells against harmful external influences. But it goes further than that. Blackberries are particularly rich in phenolic acids, which also have antioxidant properties. These acids, which include anthocyanins, ellagic acid, rutin, gallic acid, quercetin, cyanides, p-coumaric acid and cinnamic acid, provide numerous health benefits.

The genus Blackberry (Rubus) belongs to the rose family and has more than 1400 species worldwide. More than 200 of these species grow in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Blackberries are prized primarily for their fruits, which range in color from red to dark blue. They have a sweet taste and can be eaten fresh or processed into jam, for example.
The leaves of the blackberry can be used to make herbal tea. After picking, the leaves should be dried in a dry and airy place, after which they can be used to make tea.

The Latin name for blackcurrant is Ribes nigrum L. 'Nigrum' refers to the dark color and 'ribes' to the berries themselves. Various parts of the blackcurrant plant are attributed with different health benefits. The berries, seeds and leaves exhibit unique properties. For example, blackcurrant leaves are used to maintain healthy cartilage and to keep the joints flexible.

Coenzyme Q10 is an indispensable substance for the body, essential for the conversion of food energy into bioenergy. This fat-soluble substance is found in the mitochondria (the energy factories) of every cell in the human body. Coenzyme Q10 can be found in foods such as meat (e.g. turkey), fish, grains and nuts. However, the amount of Q10 in our diet has decreased, making it often no longer sufficient.
Q10 is widely distributed in our body, which is why it is also called ubiquinone (derived from the Latin word for 'present everywhere'). Ubiquinone is the biologically active and endogenous form of Q10 and plays a crucial role in the energy production of every cell. CoQ10, the most active form of ubiquinone, is efficiently absorbed by the body. 

Cordyceps originates in the Far East and is widely used in Chinese herbalism. Cordyceps sinensis, also known as the caterpillar fungus, is a mushroom with a wide range of active substances and is therefore used for various purposes.
In traditional Chinese herbalism, cordyceps is even called the 'emperor of the mushrooms'. This fungus lives as a parasite on caterpillars of a specific moth species. It infects the caterpillars with its spores, after which a club-shaped mushroom grows from the head of the mummified caterpillar. The name 'cordyceps' comes from the Latin 'cordy' (club) and 'ceps' (head), while 'sinensis' means 'Chinese'. In the Netherlands, this fungus is also known as 'caterpillar killer', 'caterpillar fungus' or 'Chinese caterpillar killer'.
