Description

succulent plant that looks like a brain Stenocactus multicostatus – Brain CactusDescription Light Soil Water Hardiness Commonly known as the Brain Cactus or Wave Cactus, this is a small, globular cactus that looks like a living geometric puzzle. It is world famous for its "multicostatus" (many ribbed) structure, featuring dozens of thin, wavy, papery ribs that tightly pack the surface of the plant, mimicking the folds of a brain. Between these folds, small clusters of spines emerge, adding to its rugged, prehistoric aesthetic.

  • Commonly known as the Brain Cactus or Wave Cactus, this is a small, globular cactus that looks like a living geometric puzzle. It is world-famous for its "multicostatus" (many-ribbed) structure, featuring dozens of thin, wavy, papery ribs that tightly pack the surface of the plant, mimicking the folds of a brain. Between these folds, small clusters of spines emerge, adding to its rugged, prehistoric aesthetic.

    This species is native to the high-elevation deserts of Central Mexico (specifically Coahuila, San Luis Potosí, and Zacatecas). Growing in limestone-rich soil among grasses, its wavy ribs are an evolutionary marvel designed to provide shade to the plant's body and allow for rapid expansion during rare rainfalls.

    The blooms of the Brain Cactus are as dramatic as its body. In early spring, large, funnel-shaped flowers emerge from the crown. These flowers are typically white or pale violet with a bold, dark purple or pink stripe running down the center of each petal, creating a striking "starburst" effect against the wavy green ribs.

  • Bright Indirect to Full Sun. High light is necessary to maintain the tight, wavy rib structure and encourage blooming.

    Mineral-Rich Cactus Mix. Prefers a very gritty soil (pumice, lava rock, and coarse sand) with very little organic peat.

    Low. Use the "soak and dry" method. Be careful not to let water sit in the deep folds of the ribs, as this can cause rot.
  • 9 to 11. Protect from frost; if kept dry, it can handle brief dips in temperature.

Good
I love these! They have a little smell to them but my stomach favors these types of vitamins rather than the chalky ones.

Good pain relief. Fair price and no side effects.
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I take this for its ability to block interleukin 1b and interleukin 6 and cox 1 and 2 enzymes without side effects or harm to liver or kidneys. This brand seems to be working well. I tried the Hawaii brand BioAstin 90 caps for $48 and this brand seems to be about the same price per cap. I have not noticed any difference in quality. Information: Astaxanthin works as an anti-inflammatory through multiple pathways. The various mechanisms of action for Astaxanthin as an anti-inflammatory have been demonstrated in several studies (Lee, et al, 2003; Ohgami, et al, 2003; Choi, et al, 2008; Kishimoto, et al, 2010). This research has consistently shown that Astaxanthin works on a variety of different causes of inflammation. In fact, there is evidence that it works on six different inflammatory markers, but that it works in a gentle, broad-spectrum manner. This is in distinct contrast to anti-inflammatory drugs such as Celebrex® and Vioxx® as well as over-the-counter anti-inflammatories such as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs including Tylenol®, Motrin®, Alleve®, etc.) and aspirin, all of which target a single inflammatory marker, but in an intense manner. Inflammatory markers gently reduced by Astaxanthin include: • Prostaglandin E-2 • Interleukin 1b • Interleukin 6 • Tumor Necrosis Factor-A • Nitric Oxide et al, 2010) • Cox 1 & 2 enzymes (Lee, et al, 2003; Ohgami, et al, 2003; Choi, et al, 2008; Kishimoto, Natural Astaxanthin has never been reported to have any side effect or contraindication in hundreds of medical research studies as well as over 15 years of commercial consumer use.

Astaxanthin
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
1 week - I've been taking this 12mg Astaxanthinand I've experienced no side effects. I've made sure to take this with food. My husband tried it twice and had a stomach ache afterwards, but I've been fine! I'm looking forward to seeing if this supplement helps with my dry eyes & gives me a glow/tan. Will provide an update in a month.

Works very well on my face.
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I am totally amazed with his supplement. I wish I had taken a before picture. After only a couple of weeks the wrinkles on my face are disappearing. Time will tell if it helps with the ones on my mouth area and near my mouth. The wrinkles on my face and cheeks are completely gone.
