Blood making process (hemopoiesis) and organs important for blood health.

The hemopoiesis    Blood cells are generated from bone marrow through a process called hemopoiesis which is a series of  cell proliferation and differentiation. Hemopoiesis has  three phases: 1) from a pluripotent stem cell to a multipotent stem cell for blood cells (CFU-GEMM) or to a lymphoid for lymphocytes, 2) from a multipotent stem cell to a committed erythroid in two steps, first into a burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E),  and then a colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E), 3) from CFU-E to mature red blood cells in multiple steps under the control of a hormone erythropoietin produced by the kidney and the liver.

The important organs    At least, there are other three organs whose health are also critical for production and health of blood cells, namely, intestine, kidney and liver. The intestine absorbs iron, vitamin B12, and other nutrients necessary for production of normal blood cell. The liver stores iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid. The liver also produces about 10% of blood production hormone erythropoietin. The kidney produces 90% of blood production hormone erythropoietin. Thus, disorders in any of these organs could induce anemia.

Nutrients and their function    Iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid are known nutrients necessary for blood production. However, they have no stimulating effects on hemopoiesis at all. Iron is a component of hemoglobin. While iron deficiency may limits blood production, excessive intake of iron can only be toxic rather than promoting the desired production of blood cells. Vitamin B12 and folic acid are essential for synthesizing component of DNA. Their deficiency results in adnormalities in DNA synthesis, and affects all of the cell renewal systems, including blood cells. However, like iron, extra intake of vitamin B12 and folic acid does not stimulate blood production. All of the three nutrients are absorbed through gastrointestinal system, and stored in the liver. Deficiencies of the nutrients could be resulted from disorders of the organs rather than short in diet supply.

Physiological factors    Women have a special concern, the menstruation, which results in losing blood, and particularly, in abnormal menstruation. In USA and other developed countries, between 10% to 20% of women of childbearing age are anemic.

Summary    Blood production and blood health are not only the function of bone marrow, or availabilities of certain nutrients, but also the result of coordinated function of different organs of the body.
 

Effects of Nature's Essence™ Blood Tonic Syrup on production and health of blood cells.

Experiments have demonstrated that ingredients of Nature's Essence™ Blood Tonic Syrup can promote production of blood cells in all three stages of hemopoiesis, and contribute to the health of the related organs. These beneficial effects result in fundamental improvement of health condition of the body and naturally relieve anemia.

Effects on blood making process    Specific ingredients of Nature's Essence™ Blood Tonic Syrup that were experimentally observed to promote production and maturation of blood cells in different stages of hemopoiesis are summarized in following table.

Effects on organs related to production and health of blood cells    Specific ingredients of Nature's Essence Blood Tonic Syrup and their effects, observed experimentally or clinically, on blood cells and organs related to hemopoiesis are summarized in the following table.

Effect on menstruation    The formula of Nature's Essence™ Blood Tonic Syrup includes the most well known "Four Plant Soap", namely, Dong Quai, White peony root, Rehmannia and Ligusticum Chuanxiong hort. This "Four Plant Soup" is well known for its beneficial effects and traditional uses for health of menstruation circle. Experimentally, it was observed that Dang Quai can dual directionally regulate the status of myometrum of uterus.

Summary    No single part of the body can function by its own with physiological meaning. Production and health of blood involve, at least but not limited to, four organs, e.g., bone marrow, gastrointestinal system, the liver and the kidney. Disorder in any of these organs could affect blood conditions and result in anemia. Nature's Essence™ Blood Tonic Syrup approaches the problem of blood production and health by fundamentally improving health of the related organs, so that anemia is naturally relieved. This is what it distinct from any other supplements of  iron, vitamin B12 or folic acid.
