UltraMir® is a complex based on extract of myrrh formulated by Alesco Laboratories to create two innovative and completely natural products: UltraMir Hydro and UltraMir Oil, developed to harness the beneficial properties of myrrh and apply them effectively to nutraceuticals.
The beneficial properties of myrrh: a natural antiseptic and pain-reliever
Myrrh is known not only for its characteristic balsamic fragrance, but also for its effective antiseptic and pain-relieving properties. Extract of myrrh can in fact be used in nutraceutical formulations with a local pain-relieving effect, useful for naturally treating inflammatory conditions such as:
- Inflammations of the mouth
- Mouth ulcers
- Gingivitis
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Inflammation of the ear
- Haemorrhoids
- Dermatitis
The benefits of myrrh also extend to its antimicrobial action, which can fight fungi (Candida albicans) and bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aereus, Escherichia coli).
Alesco research
Research conducted by Alesco has been focused on the goal of producing a potent and effective myrrh extract, initially identifying the myrrh varieties richest in sesquiterpenes, the molecules in the volatile fraction of myrrh that are biologically active and responsible for its pain-relieving properties.
The best natural characteristics have been identified in varieties that grow in the Horn of Africa, an area rich in biodiversity, where myrrh buds have an ideal chemical composition for extracting the high quality essential organic components.
Alesco laboratories have therefore adopted an innovative extraction process, which maintains a high concentration of sesquiterpenes without altering the product’s characteristics, so that it can be widely used for cosmetics, medical devices and nutraceutical applications such as syrups, sweets and capsules.
UltraMir® Hydro and UltraMir® Oil
The UltraMir® range is the result of research and studies intended to optimise the formulation of myrrh extract so that it can be successfully applied in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
UltraMir® Hydro is a hydroglyceric extract particularly suited to the following applications:
- Cosmetics (products for topical use)
- Medical devices (oral sprays)
- Supplements (syrups and sweets)
UltraMir® Oil is an oily extract suitable for medical devices, cosmetics and food supplements, used to formulate:
- Medical drops
- Tinctures
- Soft capsules
UltraMir® is therefore an innovative, patented myrrh extract that is safe, non-toxic and therefore also suitable for children’s formulations.
