The most commonly cited properties of purine include antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and enhancing properties, as well as the antioxidant properties found in purine such as flavonoids, catechins, gallic acid, proanthocyanins, rutines, and terpenes.[1] These are compounds that inhibit the course of reactions leading to the production of reactive forms of oxygen. They also help to prevent the development of many diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, including circulatory diseases, anti-inflammatory properties such as blood vessels, carcinogens, neurodegenerative diseases of the genital organs Boric acid, and other anti-cancer agents, and therefore can also be used as anti-antimicating agents.

They contain at least 20% polyphenols that support the function of the immune system, by means of antioxidants (effective in the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis, inflammatory conditions and even cancer).

Crete can be purchased in online stores, health food and supplements stores and herbal shops, as well as in pharmacies and select markets. It is available in the form of dried leaves, capsules or napkins. Prices for 100 g of dry powder start at PLN 9.90. For 50 ml of napkins you have to pay about PLN 28.
Cretan Cistus – Tincture
Cretaceous extract is a natural extract from the leaves of this alcohol-based plant. It does not contain any artificial ingredients such as preservatives, flavourings or dyes. It is a rich source of polyphenols, capable of capturing and neutralizing free oxygen sources, which in excess can lead to oxidative stress. Thus, pure cereal, like human and capsules, also supports the proper functioning of the immune system and has a beneficial effect on the circulatory system.
