Time-out for our bodies

Lots of things can harm our bodies – be it an unhealthy diet, mental stress or a heavy workload. To ensure that these pressures don’t get the upper hand and take over completely, we need to give ourselves some time out – both mentally and physically. PACKS ABC can help in this regard. How can we do our bodies some good from the inside out with these products? We’ve talked to our Research team to find out just how effective these little PACKS are.

What do the PACKS ABC stand for?
Research: PACK A stands for RINGANA PACK antiox, B for balancing and C for cleansing. They form the RINGANA food supplement basis and support a healthy diet.

PACK antiox

How does PACK antiox support the body? 
Research: PACK antiox contains lots of secondary plant substances, vitamins and minerals, and offers both antioxidants and cell protection. It supports our body’s own mechanisms and helps to protect cells from oxidative stress with natural antioxidants such as Vitamin C from the acerola fruit. As a basic food supplement RINGANA PACK antiox therefore supports a healthy diet, with antioxidants that protect the cells from oxidative stress.

What exactly does “oxidative stress” mean?
Research: Our bodies are made up entirely of cells. Reactive oxygen species trigger oxidation and destruction processes and are able to upset our cells and virtually every metabolic pathway in the body. Although our bodies have protective and repair mechanisms for reducing reactive oxygen species and remedying damage that has already occurred, the ratio between oxidants and antioxidants can swing significantly because of various factors such as an unhealthy lifestyle, environmental factors, increasing age, etc. This imbalance in favour of oxidative conditions is known as oxidative stress. Antioxidants can control and brake the formation of free radicals and/or reactive oxygen compounds, thus combatting oxidative stress.

PACK balancing

In which parts of the body is equilibrium restored with PACK balancing?
Research: Its purpose is to restore the balance between acids and alkalis in the body.

How can these go out of balance in the first place?
Research: Our bodies have effective buffer systems to keep acids and alkalis in balance. Factors such as an unbalanced diet can lead to excess acid. 

How is balance achieved?
Forschung:Alkali-rich foods can counter acids and make a positive contribution to balancing acids and alkalis. Thanks to a carefully selected combination of bioavailable water- and fat-soluble vitamins and minerals, RINGANA PACK balancing ensures a balanced nutrient profile. It promotes acid-alkali balance with zinc from buckwheat germ powder and contains alkali-forming minerals such as magnesium and calcium from citrates, as well as chlorella, alfalfa and barley grass juice powder.

Why do acids and alkalis play such an important role in the body?
Research: Acid-alkali balance is crucial to our general health and the proper functioning of our organism. Our cells react very sensitively to even the tiniest acid-alkali shifts in our blood and in extra-cellular fluids. If our acid-alkali balance goes out of kilter, this can have severe consequences for cell and organ function.

PACK cleansing

What’s in PACK cleansing and what does it do?
Research: RINGANA PACK cleansing regulates digestion in a natural way. One sachet of RINGANA PACK cleansing contains a large quantity of well-tolerated fibre, combined with a patented microorganism that promotes digestion. Herbal extracts including lemon balm and fennel have a soothing effect on the digestive system. A carefully chosen complex of bioavailable water- and fat-soluble vitamins support important metabolic processes.

What metabolic processes are those?
Research: They include, for example, carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolisation which is promoted through the use of zinc from buckwheat germ powder. Natural Vitamin B6 contributes to protein metabolisation. Calcium supports the function of digestive enzymes. Riboflavin, niacin and biotin play a role in maintaining mucous membranes.

Fibre is one of the most important contributors to healthy digestion.
Research: Exactly, it plays a very important role when it comes to digestion. Recommended daily fibre intake is 30 g. On average, however, we generally only consume around 20 g per day, so an adult’s average daily intake of fibre is well below the recommended amount. One sachet of PACK cleansing closes that gap as it contains 10 g of fibre.

Is there anything I need to bear in mind here?
Research: Switching to a fibre-rich diet takes time, and the change doesn’t happen overnight. Based on our experience, we would recommend regular use for several weeks, so that you gradually adjust to the health-promoting fibre. During the adjustment phase we recommend taking only half a sachet, and slowly increase intake up to the full daily dose. One thing that’s important to remember: fibre binds water. So if you don’t consume enough fluids, you may suffer from constipation. Fibre can only develop its positive, healthy effect if sufficient water is consumed over the course of the day. So for the fibre to achieve its optimum effect: drink, drink, drink!

How to use

How are the three PACKS prepared?
Research: Preparation is very easy. You need water, a RINGANA Shaker, the RINGANA PACK and you can get shaking straight away. PACK antiox and balancing can be mixed with water to taste and enjoyed at any time. RINGANA PACK cleansing is prepared with 250 ml water.

What is the best way to take the three PACKS?
Research: The ingredients in RINGANA PACK antiox, balancing and cleansing have been carefully selected and are used to create perfect synergies. The best time to take them is in the morning, at midday or in the afternoon. They can be refined with fruit or vegetable juices or plant milk to suit your taste. Exact details on how to take them are shown on the packaging.

Can the PACKS also be taken in conjunction with other food supplements?
Research: When we combine different food supplements the general rule is that daily intake and individual vitamin and mineral requirements vary from one person to another because of different factors such as diet, body size, body weight, gender, etc. That is why we cannot give one single answer to this question. The extent to which the products can be combined depends on your individual needs. In case of doubt, we recommend that you consult a doctor.
