RIRZ Benefits

Table 1: Primary Micronutrient Contributions to Target Health Areas

RIRZ Ingredient Group

Key Contributed Nutrients

Target Health Areas

Mechanism of Action

Sesame Seeds & Nuts

Vitamin E (Tocopherols), Magnesium, Zinc, Lignans, PUFAs (Omega-3/6), Tryptophan

Fertility, Vision, Stress

Hormone modulation (Estrogen/Progesterone), nerve signal stabilization, anti-inflammatory eicosanoid precursors, direct antioxidant defense.

Honey

Flavonoids, Phenolic Acids, Simple Sugars

Stress

Rapid energy delivery to the central nervous system, neutralization of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), documented anti-anxiety benefits.

Butter

Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Butyric Acid, Lipid Matrix

Vision, General Health

Supports rhodopsin formation and retinal integrity, acts as essential vehicle for maximum absorption of all fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, K), strengthens gut barrier function.

Essential Nutrient Requirement

RIRZ Source Ingredients

Synergistic Mechanism

Fertility (Hormone Balance & Gamete Health)

Zinc, Omega-3s, Vitamin E, Lignans

Nuts, Sesame Seeds

The combination provides both structural support (EFAs for cell construction 5) and regulatory control (lignans modulating estrogen 10) alongside co-factors (Zn, E) critical for progesterone and sperm quality.8

Vision (Protection & Function)

Vitamin A, Vitamin E, PUFAs, Lipid Vehicle

Butter, Sesame Seeds, Nuts

High fat content ensures bioavailability of vision-critical vitamins A/E.15 Vitamin E from multiple sources protects against oxidative stress in the macula/retina.7 PUFAs maintain retinal membrane fluidity for optimal rhodopsin function.

Stress/Mood (Neurochemical Stability)

Magnesium, Tryptophan, Diverse Antioxidants

Nuts, Honey, Sesame Seeds

Magnesium stabilizes the nervous system by regulating neurotransmission.12 Tryptophan provides serotonin precursors.11 Antioxidants combat stress-induced neuroinflammation (Nrf2 pathway).6

Primary RIRZ Sources

Function in Stress/Anxiety Reduction

Supporting Evidence

Magnesium

Nuts (Almonds), Seeds (Sesame, Sunflower)

Stabilizes nervous system, regulates neurotransmitter release, promotes muscle relaxation, prevents blood sugar spikes.

Known for relaxation-promoting properties; essential for mood regulation; deficiency linked to anxiety. 4

Tryptophan

Sesame Seeds, Sunflower Seeds (Implicitly in Nuts)

Amino acid precursor for Serotonin (mood stabilizer) and Melatonin (sleep regulation).

Aids in the production of neurotransmitters that influence sleep and mood, crucial for emotional equilibrium. 11

Phenolic Acids/Flavonoids

Honey

Neutralize ROS and combat oxidative stress in the brain, mitigating neuroinflammation.

Associated with anti-anxiety and antidepressant properties; protects cells from damage caused by chronic stress. 9

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Walnuts, Sesame Seeds

Modulate inflammatory pathways and improve blood-brain barrier integrity, enhancing stress resilience.

Bioactive nutrients shown to inhibit neuroinflammation and improve brain function. 14
