Blue Lotus Extract

The blue lotus is a symbol of purity and enlightenment in the Buddhist culture. It is associated with victory of spirit over senses and the triumph of wisdom over suffering. Blue lotus has one of the highest frequencies of any plant and has incredibly uplifting qualities.  In the egyptian culture the blue lotus is the symbol of daily rebirth and rejuvenation as well as the symbol for the origin of life, this is because the blue lotus folds their petals and sinks beneath the water's surface during the night and resurfaces the next day to bloom again.

In India they believe that Brahma, their creator of the universe, sprang from a lotus-like blossom, and likewise the Egyptians believed  Ra their primary god, was  to have first appeared as a beautiful child floating on a great blue lotus , strikingly similar... 

​

The symbolism is clear both of these cultures associate god and creation with the geometry of the lotus, which is the geometry of the torus and an electromagnetic field.

The Egyptians have also been well documented in the consumption of blue lotus; they infused it heavily into their wines for ceremony and it was considered a rite of the pharaoh and played a significant role in the lives of the pharaohs.

King Tut’s tomb, for example, had a gold shrine depicting a figure holding a massive Blue lotus flower

The tomb of Ramses II contained a wreath of dried blue lotus flowers as well. People can say whatever they want, but others and I doubt the flower choice in the pharaoh’s tomb was arbitrary.

The blue lotus has had a profound impact on human history , and human civilization, including: the Ancient Egyptians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the people of India, the Buddhists, the Greeks and numerous other cultures around the world.

Besides its spiritual and symbolic properties the physiological and psychoactive effects are truly legendary with a massive list of scientifically backed benefits the blue lotus will surprise and delight your Soul , Spirt , and Nervous system.

 

Now we will go into some of the active compounds found in the blue lotus and how they affect the body. 

Apomorphine

Besides its spiritual and symbolic properties the physiological and psychoactive effects are truly legendary with a massive list of scientifically backed benefits the blue lotus will surprise and delight your Soul , Spirt , and Nervous system.

 

Now we will go into some of the active compounds found in the blue lotus and how they affect the body. 

Alters Dopamine Function.

Apomorphine is a non-ergoline dopamine agonist with high binding affinity to dopamine D2, D3, and D5 receptors.. It’s also an antagonist of certain serotonin receptors, and it could inhibit the breakdown of dopamine in the brain in some people. For this reason, some clinicians prescribe  sublingual apomorphine HCL as a treatment for severe Parkinson’s disease. 

Potential for Psychogenic Erectile Dysfunction

Apomorphine is  prescribed for psychogenic erectile dysfunction (erectile dysfunction originating from psychological rather than physical issues).  by downregulating frontal limbic activity, the site of the brain responsible for “thinking.” In other words, apomorphine may improve sexual function by helping you stop overthinking everything—like the sexual act at hand.

Could Increase Growth Hormone Release

One study found that in normal, healthy men, apomorphine increases growth hormone (GH) release.3 As to whether that also increases the growth of muscle, bone, cartilage, and stimulates fat loss and immune benefits normally associated with GH, there needs to be more research . But by most measures an increase in GH is a good thing, especially since this is natural growth hormone release—not exogenous administration.

Increase Motivation

Increasing  dopamine function is directly associated with higher motivation,  pursuing your goals, going to the gym, getting over depression, being more driven and happy. Use of lotus will definitely increase your dopamine function, or  doctors from india would not prescribe it for parkinsons.

Increase NGF and GDNF

One study found that isolated astrocytes (a type of brain cell) treated with apomorphine showed increased expression of both nerve growth factor (NGF) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), two pathways that are very important for nerve function, nerve regrowth, learning, addiction prevention and treatment, and dopamine function—to name just a few.

 Effective as Part of an Addiction Recovery Plan

apomorphine has been being used  to help with alcohol and other drug addictions, especially in the old days. A 1977 study details how out of 123 addicts (about 50/50 alcohol/opiate users) treated with apomorphine, 65% stayed clean for 6 months and 41% stayed clean for longer than 6 months.  Those are decent stats. It’s an old study, though. More investigation and research is needed

May Improve Mitochondrial Function

Although these aren’t in vivo studies, there is evidence that apomorphine can improve mitochondrial function and reduce cell death by inhibiting mTOR (the same pathway fasting, calorie restriction, and keto inhibit).

Nuciferine

Molecularly, nuciferine is somewhat related to apomorphine but has divergent pharmacological effects.

May be helpful in treating certain types of breast cancer

In an in vitro study Nuciferine inhibited the growth of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation via cell cycle arrest

May Improve Metabolic Health

The majority of this research is in rodents, but it’s impressive. Nuciferine has been shown to reduce gut permeability, increase autophagy, and improve gut bacteria composition in rodents fed junk food. As a consequence, the rodents don’t get as fat as they usually do on such a diet.

Mitigated Damage After Heart Attack in Animal Models

Again, in rats: preloading subjects with nuciferine and lotus extract, then inducing a heart attack, spared them from the worst of the health effects. The combo reduced heart and liver inflammation and damage, and it even blocked structural damage and alteration to the heart tissues.

Affects Sexual Function

Nuciferine has been shown to improve erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation in humans.

Has Antipsychotic Properties

Recently, researchers found that nuciferine interacted with a similar range of receptor sites as conventional antipsychotic medicines. They ran nuciferine through the gauntlet of gold-standard antipsychotic effect tests and found it had broad—albeit atypical—antipsychotic effects.

Antioxidant effects 

Blue lotus is also know for its antioxidant properties with a large list of flavonoids , sterols, glycosides some of which even include Beta sitosterol , and Quercetin 
 

All in all blue lotus is one hell of a plant! With insane medicinal potential one of the main reasons I'm extremely happy to present it to you in a novel and much more bioavailable form then just steeping some flowers to make a tea or  buying some extract powder or paste our refinement process will be an absolute joy to your senses.
