Arjuna bark (Terminalia arjuna) in Abana contains Coenzyme Q10 which is well known in strengthening heart muscles and protecting the heart. Research has shown other beneficial compounds present in high concentration as well. These include phytosterol, lactones, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and tannins and glycosides. These were shown to have anti-oxidant and anti-microbial activity¹. Arjuna has also been found beneficial in improving stamina, oxygen capacity and for systolic blood pressure²

Ashvagandha (Withania somnifera) In a study, 40 healthy young adults were given either Arjuna, Ashvagandha or a combination of Arjuna and Ashvagandha. It was found that in those who were given Ashvagandha (Withania somnifera) there was increased velocity, power and maximum oxygen consumption. Terminalia arjuna increased maximum oxygen consumption. A reduction in resting systolic blood pressure was also seen. When given in combination, these herbs helped improve all parameters except balance and diastolic blood pressure. It was concluded that Withania somnifera may be useful for generalized weakness. It also may help to improve speed and lower limb muscular strength. Brain muscle coordination may also improve. Terminalia arjuna may be beneficial in improving cardio-vascular endurance as well as for systolic blood pressure.²

Calmint contains a high levels of terpenoids such as triterpenoid aldehyde nephinal ³ which are useful in supporting cardiovascular functions.

Processed ruby and jade, help to allay heart palpipations while Processed agate contains a component called Rasna which has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
