Before September 25th, 2014 of this year, we had Therapeutic grade for the best essential oils we
Ameo & Zija develop their blends of essential oils through Research.
Cell Health Series By McKenna Gordon on Wednesday, December 17, 2014
CaCo-2 (pronounced "kay-koh") is used by scientists as a way of studying the bioavailability of constituents in the intestinal tract.
Bioavailability = how well your body can absorb what you're giving it (like the nutrients in your food, and the constituents in essential oils) afterall, you aren't what you eat, you are what you absorb. The more bioavailable essential oils are, the better they will work because it means our body can use every molecule.
Constituents = the therapeutic compounds in essential oils. Some have 1 or 2, some have hundreds.
Intestinal tract = you know what this is, but the reason it's important here is because this is where we absorb all our nutrients. So bioavailability tests are performed using CaCo-2 cells, which are cells from the intestinal tract... the most important cells for nutrient absorption.
In the first comment there is a picture of how CaCo-2 Assays are performed. Two containers: one inside the other. The bottom of the inside container is just a really thick layer of CaCo-2 cells. That makes it so that NOTHING can travel from the outer container to the inner container unless it can pass through the CaCo-2 cells. This test is how scientists found out that iron isn't very absorbable by itself, but if you add Vitamin C and iron together, Vitamin C "carries" the iron through the CaCo-2 cells. Now doctors recommend that iron and C are always taken together. Fascinating.
CaCo-2 Assays have never been performed with essential oils. Dr. Plant is dedicated to bringing more science to the world of essential oils and was curious what he would find if he performed a CaCo-2 Assay on Améo essential oils. What he found was incredible, and led him and Matt Warner to create these 3 new blends.
First, he tested the bioavailability of ALL of our single oils. They're all pretty great! BUT, from this assay, they discovered that some oil constituents act as "SuperCarriers" for other oil constituents (kind of like how Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron). In other words, some constituents facilitate the bioavailability (effectiveness) of other constituents. Dr. Plant made up the term SuperCarriers in reference to these particular oils.
So in compiling empirical data from the CaCo-2 essential oil assays, I present to you the Cell Health Blends:
Cell Therapy
Nourishing Blend
Full of SuperCarriers! So if you use this in conjunction with your favorite single oil, it's like supercharging that oil. He said especially in combination with Frankincense or True Lavender, but that all oils are enhanced by these SuperCarrier constituents. In theory, this oil blend can make things like your healthy whole foods diet and moringa supplements even more bioavailable so your body can absorb more of the nutrients and get more out of your healthy habits.
Cell Defense
Antioxidant Blend
This blend contains the most highly anti-oxidant oils PLUS the SuperCarriers that supercharge those antioxidant constituents. This is an amazing way to protect your cells from free radical damage that leads to disease including cancer.
Cell Support
Immunity-Boosting Blend
This blend contains the oils that have the most powerful impact on the immune system, along with the specific SuperCarriers that boost the immunity oils.
It's recommended that all 3 of these blends are used in conjunction on a daily basis. 3 drops of each in a capsule internally. For children over 6, you can make a roller-bottle recipe as follows:
12 drops Cell Therapy
12 drops Cell Defense
12 drops Cell Support
1 Tbsp FCO
Most people have the mindset of using essential oils as a replacement for synthetic medicines. This is good and is better than using chemicals in most cases. However, that mentality of "treating symptoms" (called allopathic medicine) isn't the best way to go, as it's better to get to the root of the problem. If someone constantly has cold and flu and uses essential oils to get through it, that's better than using OTC drugs. But what about addressing WHY this individual is so sick all the time? Using this cell health series preventively, in conjunction with plenty of fruits and veggies in the diet can help us all become healthier and have the best chance at avoiding sickness and disease. It'll still be good to have all those other oils on hand for when they're needed, but they won't be needed as often as they used to be!
