Blackcurrant Bud Macerate by ESC Laboratoire comes from a bushy shrub reaching 1.50 m in height, native to the temperate regions of Europe, Asia Minor and the Himalayas. Blackcurrant has fragrant, lobed and toothed leaves. Its flowers, reddish on the inside and greenish on the outside, are arranged in hanging clusters. The parts of the plant used are the leaves, fruits, buds and seed oil. Known for several centuries for its multiple benefits, Blackcurrant is a beneficial plant. Thanks to its buds, we obtain a very effective concentrated macerate, the most used in gemmotherapy. Its benefits are multiple. The interest of gemmotherapy is that it uses the embryonic tissues of plants to act on the body. These tissues are extracted from parts of plants still growing (buds or young shoots) which are particularly concentrated in active ingredients (minerals, vitamins, phytohormones) necessary for the proper development of the plant and its protection against external aggression. These plant parts are then macerated in a water – alcohol – glycerin mixture for several weeks. We then obtain a concentrated mother macerate, also called hydroalcoholic extract of fresh buds. Blackcurrant macerate is the most complete of buds, notably thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic properties which effectively relieve all types of joint pain. This care product is therefore recommended to soothe problems with ligaments, tendons, tendinitis or osteoarthritis. This macerate also strengthens the immune system and soothes the horse's respiratory ailments. Used as a preventive treatment or as soon as symptoms appear, this 100% natural supplement will act deeply on the body. Blackcurrant bud macerate is also recommended in cases of allergies such as allergic rhinitis. Blackcurrant bud macerate is produced in France from certified organic blackcurrant buds.
