Buckwheat

Buckwheat, despite its name, is actually an herb, and has medicinal qualities that have been recognized in the far-east for over a millennia.

Description

This gluten-free herb is now being used by people with wheat allergies as a healthy starch. It improves glucose tolerance in diabetic patients by increasing the sensitivity of beta cells to glucose. Not only does it alleviate gluten and glucose allergies, it was also found to be an anti-allergenic, its hulls being used in hypoallergenic products.

Benefits

As posted on the official FDA site Buckwheat contains rutin, used to help keep arterial vessels healthy. By strengthening capillary walls it can aid in reducing hemorrhaging in people with high blood pressure and increases microcirculation in people with chronic venous insufficiency.

More benefits of Buckwheat include:

  • Combining with Iron Fe(2+), keeping it from binding and becoming a dangerous reactive free radical
  • Has been shown to lower cholesterol in the bloodstream by binding with cholesterol molecules

Safety Notes

Although buckwheat is completely safe, Orovo recommends that you consult a physician before you begin taking any new health supplement blend.
