Nerium SkinCare's product development starts with the science initiated at its USA-based farming operations, where fields of oleanders provide the raw material (biomass) for the botanical extract NAE-8. Transitioning from the nursery environment to commercial farming, the company now has over 12 years of scientific experience commercially growing the Nerium oleander plant. This provides the company the ability to control the entire process from seedlings through production to ensure quality and consistency.

Citrus bergamia is a small tree which blossoms during the winter. The juice tastes less sour than lemon, but more bitter than grapefruit. The distinctive aroma of the bergamot is most commonly known for its use in Earl Grey tea.[6] The juice of the fruit has also been used in Calabrian indigenous medicine to treat malaria,[7] and its essential oil is popular in aromatherapy applications.
An essence extracted from the aromatic skin of this sour fruit is used to flavor Earl Grey and Lady Grey teas, and confectionery. It is often used to make marmalade, particularly in Italy. In Sweden and Norway, bergamot is a very common flavorant in snus, a smokeless tobacco product.[citation needed] Likewise in dry nasal snuff it is also a common aroma in traditional blends.[citation needed]
Bergamot peel is used in perfumery for its ability to combine with an array of scents to form a bouquet of aromas which complement each other. Approximately one third of all men's and about half of women’s perfumes contain bergamot essential oil.[citation needed] Bergamot is a major component of the original Eau de Cologne composed by Farina at the beginning of 18th century Germany. The first record of bergamot oil as fragrance ingredient is 1714, to be found in the Farina Archive in Cologne. One hundred bergamot oranges will yield about three ounces of bergamot oil.[11]
Bergamot peel is also used in aromatherapy to treat depression and as a digestive aid.[citation needed]
Citrus bergamia has aromatic roots that are thought to mask other nearby plants from pests that attack their roots, and so are sometimes grown as a companion in vegetable gardens.
Bergamot contains extremely large amounts of polyphenols, as compared to other citrus species and may directly inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis in a similar way to statins and they are not found in any other citrus derivatives[15]
Bergamot is also a source of bergamottin which is believed to be responsible for the grapefruit juice effect in which the consumption of the juice affects the metabolism of a variety of pharmaceutical drugs.[16]
Bergamot is ideally suited to help calm inflamed skin, and as such is contained in some creams for skin conditions such as psoriasis. [17] It also has antiseptic properties which help ward off infection and aid recovery.
Bergamot essential oil has been found to reduce excitotoxic damage to cultured human neuronal cells in vitro, and may therefore have neuroprotective properties.[21
Bergapten and citropten are strong inhibitors of IL-8 expression and may have potential to reduce lung inflammation in people with Cystic fibrosis.[23]
Citropten and bergapten are powerful inducers of differentiation and γ-globin gene expression in human erythroid cells, a potential therapeutic approach in hematological disorders , including β-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia.[24]
Peel waste from oil extraction contains pectins and flavonoids a potential source of natural antioxidant/anti-inflammatory phytochemicals.[25]
And finally, Bergamot juice seems to have hypolipidemic activity.[8][26][27][28]
In several studies, application of some sources of bergamot oil directly to the skin was shown to have a concentration-dependent phototoxic effect of increasing redness after exposure to ultraviolet light[13] This is a property shared by many other citrus fruits.
Bergapten has also been implicated as a potassium channel blocker - in one case study, a patient who consumed four liters of Earl Grey tea per day suffered muscle cramps.[14]- so consumption is limited.

Pharmaceuticals Found in Water Supplies
IonLife/IonWays Water Quality Alert (3-11-08)
Summary: Reporters from the Associated Press' National Investigative Team reviewed hundreds of scientific reports, federal databaes and environmental studies and interviewed more than 230 officials, academics and scientists and private water suppliers in all 50 states. Following this exhaustive project, it was concluded that a surprising array of pharmaceuticals have been found in water supplies across the US.
Partial Findings:
Philadelphia: 56 pharmaceuticals or byproducts in treated drinking water, including medicines for pain, infection, high cholesterol, asthma, epilepsy, mental illness and heart problems. 63 pharmaceuticals or byproducts were found in the city's watersheds.
Southern California: Anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety medicaitons were detected in a portion of the treated drinking water for 18.5 million people.
Northern New Jersey: Drinking water treatment plant, which serves 850,000 people, found a metabolized angina medicine and the mood stabilizing carbamasepine in drinking water.
San Francisco: A sex hormone was detected in drinking water.
Washington D.C.: The drinking water for Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas tested positive for six pharmaceuticals.
Tucson AZ: Three medication, including an antibiotic, were found in drinking water supplied to Tucson, AZ.
It is not a Federal Government mandate for municipalities and well owners to test for pharmaceuticals in water nor has the agencies set any maximum contaminant levels. Of the 62 major water providers contacted by the investigative team, the drinking water for only 28 was tested. Among the 34 that haven't: Houston, Chicago, Miami, Baltimore, Pheonix, Boston and NY City's Departmetn of Environmental Protection, which delivers water to 9 million people.
Health Risks:
At a conference last summer, Mary Buzby- Director of Environmental Technology for drug maker Merck and Co. Inc- said: "There's no doubt about it, pharmaceuticals are being detected in the environment and there is genuine concern that these compounds, in the small concentrations that they are at, could be causing impacts to human health or to aquatic organisms."
The reaction from the Federal Government is: "We recognize it is a growing concern and we are taking it very seriously," said Benjamin H. Grumbles, assistant admistrator for water at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Removal of Contaminants:
Initial studies indicate that some reduction in pharmaceuticals is achieved from Granular Activated Carbon (GAC). The filters built into Jupiter Ionizers are primarily comprised of GAC, which has been used for decades in water treatment to adsorb many dangerous compounds.
Reverse Osmosis (R/O) treatment was specificalyy designed to provide a way to remove up to 98% of all dissolved and suspended materials in water. The disadvantage of R/O is the fact that water produced is virtually mineral free and typically highly acidic on the pH scale. Both of those properties in R/O water are not natural for the body. IonLife/IonWays has a system that incorporates R/O and remineralizaiton before the ionizer. Furthermore, R/O systems can waste between 5 to 20 gallons of water for each gallon of drinking water produced.
Some consumers may see bottled water as an alternative, but bottled water can come from sources that are contaminated too and is typically treated with R/O. Bottled water also has disadvantages due to leaching of platicides into the water inside and environmental damage created by manufacturing and disposal of the plastic bottle itself.
In fact, the BioStone filter in our products and the ionization process itself provides increased treatment barriers. The process separates acidic from alkaline ions, which will eliminate some contaminants from your drinking water. Laboratory results on the impact of the BioStone filter and Jupiter Ionizers can be seen in the News.
The Water Professionals at IonLife/IonWays will continue to monitor the situation, share our findings and offer the necessary products to work in conjunction with your ionizer if required.
