Cedar Grilyazh is not only delicious sweets made from cedar nuts and bee honey but also is considered as an addition to anticancer chaga therapy. It was created by Irkutsk confectionery factory “Angara” in cooperation with Irkutsk State Medical University. The cedar grilyazh is used for reinforcement of chaga’s anticancer properties by compensating body's “protein shortage”.

Ingridients: Cedar nuts, bee honey. Covering – natural chocolate.

Vegetable protein of cedar nuts and honey is ideally balanced and because its composition is very close to proteins of human tissue 99% of it can be easily assimilated by human body. The most important therapeutic factor which ensures high nutritive value of the cedar grilyazh is, that it contents practically all essential amino acids and vitamins: A,B,C,D,E,P, as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and other mineral substances. Cedar grillage is rich with such antioxidant substances as tocopherol, which prevents our body from ageing. The cedar grillage has no contraindications for usage neither as a food nor as a therapeutic mean. Cedar grilyazh is especially efficient when used against immunodeficiency, allergies, atherosclerosis, stomach ailments and in particular against stomach ulcer and cholelithiasis. It increases mental and physical activity, strengthens immune system, sexual potency, decreases toxic influence of radiation and quickly increases level of hemoglobin in blood. The cedar grillage feeds weak cardiac muscle with digestible glucose, which results in distension of coronal vessel thus improving blood pressure. Below there is a short description of some vitamins contained in the cedar grilyazh:

Vitamin A, also called retinol, is a fat-soluble vitamin that is readily destroyed upon exposure to heat, light, or air. The vitamin has a direct role in vision and is a component of a pigment present in the retina of the eye. It is essential for the proper functioning of most body organs and also affects the functioning of the immune system. Vitamin A deficiency results in various disorders that most commonly involve the eye and the epithelial tissues--the skin and the mucous membranes lining the internal body surfaces. An early symptom of vitamin A deficiency is the development of night blindness, and continued deficiency eventually results in loss of sight. If deficiency is prolonged, the skin may become dry and rough. Vitamin A deficiency may also result in defective bone and teeth formation.

Vitamin B 1 or thiamine, helps the body convert carbohydrates into energy and helps in the metabolism of proteins and fats. Vitamin B1 deficiency affects the functioning of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and peripheral nervous systems. Beriberi and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (often seen in alcoholics) are the primary diseases related to thiamine deficiency. General symptoms of beriberi include loss of appetite and overall lassitude, digestive irregularities, and a feeling of numbness and weakness in the limbs and extremities. 

Vitamin B2, or riboflavin, is required to complete several reactions in the energy cycle. Reddening of the lips with cracks at the corners of the mouth,inflammation of the tongue, and a greasy, scaly inflammation of the skin are common symptoms of deficiency. Niacin, or nicotinic acid, helps the metabolism of carbohydrates. Prolonged deprivation leads to pellagra, a disease characterized by skin lesions, gastrointestinal disturbance, and nervous symptoms. 

Vitamin B 12,or cyanocobalamin, is a complex crystalline compound that functions in all cells, but especially in those of the gastrointestinal tract, the nervous system, and the bone marrow. It is known to aid in the development of red blood cells in higher animals. Deficiency most commonly results in pernicious anemia.

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is water-soluble and easily destroyed. It is essential in wound healing and in the formation of collagen, a protein important in the formation of healthy skin, tendons, bones, and supportive tissues. Deficiency results in defective collagen formation and is marked by joint pains, irritability, growth retardation, anemia, shortness of breath, and increased susceptibility to infection. Scurvy is the classic disease related to deficiency.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble compound essential for calcium metabolism in animals and therefore important for normal mineralization of bone and cartilage. The skin forms vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, but in some circumstances sunlight may lack sufficient amounts of ultraviolet rays to bring about adequate production of the vitamin.

Deficiencies cause many biochemical and physiological imbalances. If uncorrected, faulty mineralization of bones and teeth causes rickets in growing children and osteomalacia (progressive loss of calcium and phosphorus from the bones) in adults. Common early symptoms of rickets include restlessness, profuse sweating, lack of muscle tone in the limbs and abdomen, and delay in learning to sit, crawl, and walk. Rickets may produce such conditions as bowlegs and knock-knees. Deficiency may also cause osteoporosis, a bone condition characterized by an increased tendency of the bones to fracture. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble compound. The metabolic roles of this vitamin are poorly understood. Its primary role appears to be as an inhibitor of oxidation processes in body tissues.
