Fortunately, Mother Earth has supplied us with all the amazing plantation that can heal us and prevent many dreaded diseases. Plus when it is combined with science, the results are nothing short of miraculous.

Introducing Atienza Naturale. Manilenas like me are very familiar with the Atienza's, with Mayor Lito once having led the nation's capital and beautifying it back then. And of course, what Pinoy doesn't know Kuya Kim Atienza- Showtime, Matanglawin at TV Patrol- Buhay ay Weather Weather Lang?!

Last July 1, 2017 in Santiago Filipino Restaurant in Katipunan, Quezon City, we came to know more about Atienza Naturale.

Atienza Naturale, a 100% Filipino-owned company was established in 2011 by founder Evelina Atienza. They are guided by the principles of the Value of Life. Their mission is to provide high quality yet affordable dietary supplements and skin care products.

Delivering their talk in front of Pinoy health and lifestyle bloggers, Ms. Angela Lei Atienza Valdepeñas shared with us info about the company and its products, while Dr. Rainier Neri Mozo lectured us on the scientific aspect- regarding their controlled studies.

After all, Gram-for-gram, Malunggay (Moringa oleifera) leaves contain:
9x more Iron than Spinach
7x more Vitamin C than Oranges

Malunggay in Reasearch

• Malunggay has been extensively studied by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology with a stamp of approval and recommendation. 
• In 2014, physicians at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) – Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center (OMMC)’s Department of Internal Medicine and Intensive Care Unit embarked on a landmark study presenting the potential use of malunggay as a natural alternative to standard preparations used for lowering and regulating blood sugar.  To ensure that the malunggay in the study was administered in standardized doses, the research team opted to use Atienza Naturale Malunggay Capsules, as it featured the purest form of the herb in a medium that could be taken conveniently. According to Doctors Rainier Neri Mozo and Imelda Caole-Ang, an extract derived from malunggay was instrumental in reducing Hemoglobin A1c, a key indicator in the level of blood glucose, in a control group of 60 patients at the OMMC.  The study showed a mean reduction of 0.6% in the blood glucose of involved patients after regular dosage of malunggay capsules. 

Atienza Naturale Turmeric

When we say Turmeric, in Tagalog it is known as luyang dilaw. I have an aunt who is a cancer survivor and she turned to organic stuff, including guyabano and turmeric, to fight the disease. Turmeric is also useful in cooking, while in the province, it's utilized as a medicine by the albularyo (herbalist).

Turmeric is a very common herb. Often referred to as the “Queen of Spices,” its main characteristics are a pepper-like aroma, sharp taste and golden color.

Turmeric is also loaded with many healthy nutrients such as protein, dietary fiber, niacin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, potassium, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium and zinc. Due to all these factors, turmeric is often used to treat a wide variety of health problems.

According to the Journal of the American Chemical Society, turmeric contains a wide range of antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Benefits of Turmeric:

• MAGIC Cure- Improves brain function and lowers risk of brain disease.
• Neurodegenerative conditions improvement-  Turmeric has also been studied to prevent or slow down the effects of Alzheimer’s Disease which is a leading cause of dementia. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of curcumin is generally believed to cause various improvements in the pathological process of Alzheimer’s disease.
• Anti-inflammatory- With the compound called Curcumin that can be beneficial for people suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.
• Cardiovascular conditions treatment- Compounds in turmeric help to lower low-density lipoprotein, or bad cholesterol levels and prevent cholesterol from building plaque on blood vessel walls. Turmeric can also prevent platelets from clumping together, which may reduce the risk of blood clots.
• Cancer prevention- Turmeric’s preventive effects may relate to its antioxidant properties which protect cells from damage to help prevent or aid in the treatment of several types of cancers, including prostate, breast, skin and colon cancer. Intensive research is still ongoing for Turmeric’s anti-cancer properties.
• Diabetes prevention- Studies have shown that curcumin may provide ideal intervention for Type 2 diabetes capable of mitigating characteristic pathophysiological hallmarks of the disease such as elevated blood sugar and insulin resistance. According to clinical research, curcumin has glucose lowering effect and improves fatty acid oxidation and utilization. 

One can easily buy moringa and turmeric at the marketplace. Heck, we have our own malunggay tree in front of our dwelling. But they have explained why it's better to choose them in capsule form - in veggie caps, no less, by Atienza Naturale.

It's because not only is Atienza Natural capsules more convenient, we can be assured of the potency and purity of the malunggay and turmeric. If one just randomly picks and prepares the plant by himself, he has to be aware of certain issues. Did you know that heat can destroy some of the active compounds, and lead in acid rain can contaminate the tree?

Here is what you need to know about the Atienza Naturale difference:

• The products are encapsulated in V-Caps (veggie capsules), not animal-based substances.
• All natural.
• Not in oil form. Atienza Naturale comes in 500 mg of pure and fresh malunggay leaves / 500 mg of pure and fresh curcuma longa powder.
• Chemical-free.

Malunggay The Wonder Gulay. We feel Terrific with Turmeric.

All you need is Malunggay! Turmeric is a powerful anti-oxidant with Bioactive Compounds! Antioxidants neutralize free radicals that damages the cells causing health problems while Bioactive Compounds have medicinal properties that may help in the treatment of some conditions.

More things I learned:

• According to statistics, leading cause of mortality in the Philippines is still cardiovascular diseases.
• No Approved Therapeutic Claim is stamped even though there are already studies validating the efficacy, because it is not a medicine or cure.
• One should allow 3 months of testing to know if a supplement is working.
• Recommended dosage- for turmeric is 1-2 caps, for malunggay is 1-2 caps.
