The Baltic Sea has something magical about it. For thousands of years, with each wave, it has brought to its shores beautiful pieces of amber, estimated to be over 35 million years old. These pieces have always been used in both the making of ornaments and in traditional medicine.
The healing properties of amber became famous and widely used thanks to Hippocrates (460-377 BC), the father of medicine.
Research conducted at the University of Hamburg, Germany, confirmed the safe and positive effects of succinic and fumaric acids on cellular metabolism.
Succinic acid is found in many contemporary plants and is a common and indispensable food ingredient. However, succinic acid deficiencies are common, as it is rarely found in nature. Even unripe currants and rhubarb stalks, which are the richest in the acid, contain a thousand times less of it than amber.
