| 1．
What is microcirculation? What is its function? |
| Answer: the blood circulation in the microarteries blood capillaries and venules of the human body is called microcirculation. Microcirculation is the pathway through which the hystocytes of the human body absorb nutrition, oxygen and expels metabolic products. It is impossible for the human body to inject blood directly into the hystocytes of all organs merely through contraction of the heart. It must rely on the autorhymic motion of the capillaries of the microcirculation system that is synchronous with the beating of the heart regulate the blood for the second time and perform the second injection. Therefore microcirculation is compared to the “second heart” of the human body in medicate. |
| |
| 2．What are the characteristics of microcirculation? |
| Answer: 1. The capillaries in the microcirculation are enormous in total length, which is about 90-110 thousand kilometers i.e. two and half the perimeters of the earth. The capillaries are distributed at every corner of the human body. 2. The capillaries in the microcirculation system are numerous i.e. about 30 billion in m\number. 3. The wall of the capillary of the microcirculation is very thin. The thickness of it is only one hundredth of that of a piece of common white paper. It is helpful for material exchange and coming in and going out of leukocytes. The capillaries are easy to pass through and have not the expansion and contraction ability as the aortas. 4. The capillaries are very small in size i.e. one twentieth of a man’s hair. 5. The pressure and pressure difference are small in the capillary chamber with the normal average microcirculation pressure being only about 20 mm Hg. |

| 3．What diseases may microcirculation disorder cause? |
Answer: the result of recent medical researches show that the man’s senility and diseases are in relation with the microcirculation disorder. This concept is generally acknowledged. What diseases may microcirculation disorder cause, then?
a) For the nervous system: If the brain cells can’t get sufficient nutrition and oxygen, headache, dizziness, insomnia, dreaminess and wakefulness, hypomnesis will occur and encephalatrophy, senile dementia, cerebral apoplexy, cerebral infarction may happen in serious cases.
b) For the cardiovascular system: If the cardiac muscle is poorly nourished, chest distress, palpitation, arrhythmia, angina pectoris may occur and cardiac infarction may happen in serious cases. If the styrtole contract for long, it may result in high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis.
c) For the respiratory system: Chest distress, short breath, coughs, asthma may occur and cyanosis, apnea and even pulmonary heart disease may happen in serious cases.
d) For the digestive system: Dysfunction in absorbing nutrients may lead to dystrophy, being pale and thin, diarrhea, constipation, ulcer, etc.
e) Metabolic diseases: Diabetes, highly- viscous blood disease, hyperlipemia and hyperthrombinemia are closely related with microcirculation disorder. They result from accumulation of red blood cells, which leads to stasis of blood in capillaries.
f) For the motor system: the microcirculation disorder in the muscles, bones and joints caused accumulation of the metabolic products (creatine, cratinine) which will lead to general limpness and weakness, numbness, pain and retrograde affection of bones. Blocked micro arteries may result in angiitis, varicose veins, which, if seriously developed, may lead to claudication cutting pains, ulceration and even amputation.
g) For the urogenital system: the women’s lumbar and back ache, skin ache, irregular menstruation, infertility, pelvic inflammation and men’s sexual disorder prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia and male infertility are all related with microcirculation disorder.
h) Microcirculation disorder of skin: It can result in dermatolysis and wrinkles, chloasma, senile plaque, eye pocket and formication. |

| A: Yes, it works. The Joymain Negative-ion far-infrared element work has the characteristics of thermoelectricity and piezoelectricity. So if change of temperature and pressure exists, there will exist difference of voltage between negative-ion crystalloids. This static can be higher than one million volt, then the air can be ionized. The hit-electron will cling to the nearby water and oxygen molecule, and translate them into negative ions. When contact between body and flax mat happens, negative oxygen ions will be released. |
| |
| 13． What is negative ions? How can it benefit our health? |
| A: Ions mean electriferous atoms or radicals. Ions with positive electricity are called positive ions; ions with negative electricity are called negative ions. Science has proved that negative ions can make one feel energetic, can ease one’s tiredness. In the forest, or places without pollution, the thickness of negative ions in the air is several hundred times more than in the cities which are severely polluted. |
| |
| 14．What are the characteristics and advantages of flax mats? |
A: 1. Negative-ion flax mat can unvaryingly release negative-ion and far-infrared light. The number of negative-ion reaches 2500/cm3-4000/cm3, and the emissivity of far-infrared light reaches 87%, which lies at the top of the international level and can benefit our body.
2. Excellent countering-bacterium functions. Negative ion is very active, and it can function to redox. So it can destroy the cell membrane of the bad bacterium and the activity of the active enzyme. Thus it can repress and kill the bad bacteria.
3. Enduring washing. After 30 times washing with water in the washing-machine, the emissivity of negative ion and far-infrared light is the same as before. |

| 16．What are the ingredients of propolis capsules? |
| A: The capsule contains refined high quality propolis and Ganoderma lucidum extractions. The propolis and Ganoderma lucidum used in our company are all carefully selected and examined high quality products. |
| |
| 17．What is propolis? |
| A: Propolis is a jelly like substance processed by bees. It is a mixture of tree resin that bees collect from tree sprouts and barks and bee secretions from bee’s saliva gland and wax gland. Proplis has the effects of eliminating bacteria and resisting oxidation. However, one bee can only collect 10-20 mg resin in one trip. In one year, a 50000-to-60000-bee swarm can collect about 60-300g resin and produce about 100-500g propolis. In one day the bee swarm can produce only 0.2-1.2g propolis. So proplis is a very precious apiculture product. |
| |
| 18．How to properly use propolis capsules? |
| A: Generally it is better to take the capsules when the stomach is empty in order to achieve a complete absorption. For diabetes patients, it’s better to take them half an hour before meal, in order to better control the blood sugar level. In addition, the capsules shall be taken as a whole. It’s not good to take the propolis powder out of the capsules, because propolis is very sticky and directly swallowing the propolis may easily lead to losses. |
| |
| 19．Which kind of people does propolis capsule mainly apply to? |
| A: The propolis capsule contains many ingredients that have pharmaceutical effects and some are unique. So the capsule has extensive healthy and therapeutic effects, and it is especially beneficial to those who have weak immunity, who easily fall ill, and who find it hard to recover from diseases. The capsule is also capable of regulating blood sugar levels and can help treat diabetes. For healthy people, the capsule can greatly strengthen their physique, improve their immunity from diseases, make them easily recover from diseases, and thus greatly improve their life quality. |
| |
| 20．Are there any contraindications to the use of Joymain propolis capsule? |
| A: Those who are allergic to propolis are forbidden to take propolis. |
| |
| 21．Can Joymain Propolis Capsule be used in combination with other Joymain products? |
| A: Joymain Propolis Capsule can be used in combination with other Joymain products, such as Joymain far-infrared products and Joymain magnetic therapy products. The combination would bring better therapeutic effects. |
| |
| 22．Why propolis can lower the blood sugar? |
A: 1. Propolis contains ingredients that can diminish inflammation and eliminate bacteria and many chemical elements (Ca, Mg, K, P, Zn, and Cr etc.). These ingredients and elements can cure and rehabilitate the ill cells and tissues, promote the regeneration of tissues, activate cells, resume the functions of islet cells, and increase the secretion and release of insulin.
2. The effective ingredients in propolis can also protect the target tissue cells, restore and improve their sensitivity.
3. The flavones and terpenes in propolis can help the body use extrinsic glucose to synthesize hepatic glycogen, and reduce the glucose level in blood. At the same time some ingredients can evidently lower the blood sugar level.
4. Anti-oxidation action. It is reported that free radical and lipid peroxides are the cause in quite a number of diabetes cases, and generally will make the disease worse. Studies also show that antioxidant (SOD) is evidently effective in treating diabetes. Propolis has strong anti-oxidation action and can remarkably improve the activity of SOD and thus can effectively lower the blood sugar level.
5. Reinforce the effects of diabetes drugs. When insulin injections and oral administration of ordinary blood sugar reducing drugs are not satisfactorily effective, the effects of these drugs can be reinforced and the blood sugar level will be lowered if diabetes patients take propolis capsules.
6. Restrain the breaking down of lipids. Some researchers used the Ganoderma lucidum extraction to treat diabetes and found that the blood sugar level was controlled while there was no increase of the insulin secretion. This means Ganoderma lucidum contains insulin-like substances which can restrain the breaking down of lipids and lower the sugar level. |

| 23．What are flavones? |
A: In our daily life, many of us use flavones. For example:
(1) Many effective drugs for heart diseases contain flavones;
(2) Many drugs for the treatment of cerebral thrombosis also contain flavones;
(3) Chinese traditional medicines that are capable of invigorating blood circulation are rich in flavones;
(4) Chinese traditional medicines for the purposes of clearing heat, detoxification and inflammation elimination contain flavones;
(5) Honeycomb can be used to cure rhinitis and the propolis contained in honeycomb is rich in flavones;
(6) The bee pollen used for beauty purpose and the treatment of prostatitis is rich in flavones;
Flavone compounds include flavone, flavonol, dihydroflavone, dihydroflavonol, isoflavone, dihydroisoflavone, chalcone, and anthocyan etc. They exist extensively in plants. Flavones usually appear in yellow color and exist extensively in yellow flowers, fruits and leaves. Orange peel, gingko leaves, and pines are rich in flavones. |
| |
| 24．What are the physiological activities of flavones? |
| A: Flavones mainly have the following physiological activities: increase the tensility of blood vessels, lower the brittleness of blood vessels and their abnormal permeability; lower blood lipid and cholesterol levels; reduce the agglomeration of red blood cells and platelets, restrain the formation of thrombi, and improve microcirculation; protect liver through detoxification, and help cure acute and chronic hepatitis, hepatocirrhosis and various toxic impairment of liver; improve immunity; eliminate inflammation, clear heat and swelling; relieve spasms; relieve allergy; restrain the activity of specific enzymes; strengthen cell membrane and activate cells; resist oxidation and aging etc. Hence, flavones are very important physiologically active substances. |
| |
| 25．What are terpenes? |
| A: Terpenes are natural hydrocarbon compounds which have strong aroma and physiological activities. Terpenes are found extensively in the nature. By 1991, over 22000 kinds of terpene have been found. Terpenes are varied and so are their biological activities. Some important Chinese medicines, such as ginseng, licorice, Chinese thorowax root, platycodon root etc., contain special terpenes. Most terpenes tend to vaporize with water vapor and are richly contained in naphtha. |
| |
| 26．What are the physiological activities of terpenes? |
| A: Terpenes have very strong physiological activities and are important ingredients of traditional Chinese medications. The activities of terpenes mainly include: two-way regulation of blood sugar levels, resistance against tumors, hypertension reduction, bacteria elimination, anti-inflammation, pain relief and detumescence, parasite elimination, local anesthesia, stopping itches, strengthening stomach, clearing heat, removing the phlegm, relieving cough, strengthening immunity, invigorating blood circulation, and letting out pleasing aroma. |
