Fivesso VS DIY Projects

Fivesso is different from Do-It-Yourself (DIY) homemade soaps and scrubs, as we use the highest quality of organic ingredients. Unlike other regular soaps and scrubs, Fivesso does not contain any dye, artificial fragrances, sulfates, parabens, additives, or preservatives. Fivesso soaps are made through a cold process versus a melt and pour-over process. This cold process allows our soaps to preserve the natural ingredients and its benefits. 

Taking over a year to perfect our recipe, by testing and retesting, we created the right combination that will optimize the benefits of each Organic oil in our coffee products. Fivesso premium organic soaps and scrubs are purposely designed to push these two products together as a single package. This ensures that our customers will enjoy the Fivesso Experience by exfoliating, invigorating, moisturizing, soothing their skin.

Fivesso is also excited to announce our Kickstarter Crowdfunding Campaign is now live! Our EARLY BIRD special is still available, check us out at fivesso.com and get up to 50% off.

Fragrance Oils

One of the major difference between essential oils and fragrance oil is that fragrance oils are synthetically created. This results in the lack of natural healing properties that essential oils offer. Fragrance oils are often used frequently due to its ability to be easily manipulated to create any aroma.

Results and Fivesso's Crowdfunding

Let’s check out the results of the previous study we mention early this week. This study was conducted in Berlin, Germany.

Researchers tested topical caffeinated application in two ways, in vitro (test in a test tube) and in vivo (within living organism). Results were then compared. They first test the hair follicles unblocked, and they blocked the hair follicles with a varnish wax mixture. Results showed that both methods revealed similar results, as well as, significant differences. One similarity was that caffeine was detected within minutes of the topical application. Skin tissue from the breast area was collected from plastic surgery, for this experiment. A difference was during in vitro testing, caffeine was detected 2 hours after the topical application was applied. If you are interested, in finding out more on the results check out our source below.

Caffeine and Memory

Did you know that caffeine can help enhance certain memories up to at least 24 hours? A study conducted at John Hopkins University showed that caffeine was able to enhance long-term memories, for up to at least 24 hours after consumption.

Caffeine can help strengthen memory, and it can also help make your memories resistant to forgetfulness for at least 24 hours. The studied was a double-blinded trial. Participants for this study were not regular coffee drinkers nor did they eat eatables containing caffeine. Samples of their caffeine levels were taken before and in three other time periods throughout this study. Participants were given either a placebo or a 200-millgram caffeine tablet after studying a series of images. They came back 24 hours after to test their memories on the images. Participants in the caffeine group scored higher in correctly identifying the images than those who took the placebo. These results were different from other previous studies on caffeine and memory. The major difference was that this study presented the images after giving the participants either the placebo or the caffeinated tablet.

Caffeine doesn’t just enhance your long-term memory briefly, it can also help with the risk of Alzheimer’s. Be on the lookout for Fivesso’s Crowdfunding Campaign in June.

Coffee and Metabolism

Did you know that coffee can help with your digestive system? That's right - for those who drink they have experienced this benefit. Coffee not only helps your digestive system, it can also help increase your metabolism.

How does coffee increase your metabolism? Coffee is a stimulant that can help increase your metabolism. Coffee sends signals to your fatty cells and ordering them to break down the fat around your fatty tissues. Epinephrine is a hormone that helps deliver the breakdown of fats “message” throughout your body. Epinephrine travels thru our blood streams and sends signals to break down the fats. By performing these two activities, coffee can help decrease the fat from your fatty tissues.

Coffee also contains an active compound that can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates in your body.

Check out of next blog for more benefits of coffee. Be on the lookout for Fivesso’s Crowdfunding Campaign in June and our pre-order date in August.

Caffeine in Your System

Did you know that it only takes about 10 minutes for caffeine to kick in within your system? That’s right- coffee is able to you wake up within 10 minutes of consuming it.

How does caffeine wake you up? Caffeine blocks adenosine, a chemical that makes you sleepy by binding to our brain receptor, from binding to your brain receptors because caffeine itself is almost the same size. By blocking adenosine, this will allow you to feel less sleepy.

A study conducted at the University of Barcelona showed that caffeine has a greater effect in males than females. A total of 668 university students (238 males and 45 females) participated in this study, with an average age of 22. Activity levels were measured in various time frames, and results showed higher level activities in male participants than in female participants.

This study also measured activity levels with decaffeinated coffee. Results from the decaffeinated coffee did not show any significant levels of activities between male and female participants. In other studies, researched showed that it takes at least 45 minutes for the highest levels of caffeine to enter your blood system. So after drinking your coffee, you can feel caffeine kick in within 10 minutes, but you do not get the most of it until at least 45 minutes after.

Check out of next blog for more benefits of caffeine. Be on the lookout for Fivesso’s Crowdfunding Campaign in June.

Health Benefits of Coffee

In our previous post, we mention a couple of reasons why coffee is the world’s second most valuable commodity: it gives us energy throughout the day and in research studies caffeine has been shown to decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes. Let’s explore more on the why coffee is so valuable.

Caffeine is one of the main reasons why coffee is so valuable. Being a mild stimulant, it has quite a few health benefits. Aside from reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, other studies have shown a reduction of the risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia. In a studied conducted at the University of Florida, in 2009, showed that participants who were 40 to 50 years old and who drank at least three to five cups of caffeinated coffee a day, reduced up to 70% chance of the risk of getting Alzheimer’s and dementia by the time they were in their 70s. Another studied showed to have helped reduced the risk of suicide. In 2013, a studied conducted by Harvard’s School of Public Health showed that for participants who drank at least two to three cups of coffee a day helped reduce the risk of suicide by 45%.

Although caffeine has shown quite a few benefits, there are negative effects. Caffeine is a drug, so addiction is highly likely. The more caffeine you have per day, the more dependent you become on it, and the harder it is to quit. Side effects from going cold turkey are severe headaches, fatigue, and mental distortion. Caffeine can also cause high anxiety levels, unstable sleep patterns, and restlessness. Be careful when you are drinking coffee with certain medication as it might affect the impact of the medication.

Check out of next blog for benefits of coffee. Be on the lookout for Fivesso’s Crowdfunding Campaign in June.
