this section contains a variety of specialist nutritional supplements that represent the very latest nutritional research.
| Beta 13 Glucans |
Derived from the cell wall of S.cerevisiae yeast this compound has antioxidant properties and helps to maintain the function of macrophages in the immune system. |
| Caprylic Acid |
From palm nut with research concentrating on its effect on yeast cells. |
| CoQ10 |
Required by the body for energy production in the cells but particularly in the heart it is also known to have antioxidant properties. |
| Glucosamine and Chondroitin |
Naturally occurring in the body these compounds are required for the manufacture of connective tissue/collagen which forms the foundation for many structures in the body. As such large amounts are found in cartilage and tendon tissue as well as in the digestive tract organs eyes skin etc. |
| Hematinic Formula |
Iron is not the only nutrient involved in blood building sufficient levels of B12 and/or folic acid are also necessary. |
| Hydroxy Citrate |
Derived from the rind of the garcinia cambogia fruit most research has been associated with its ability to metabolise carbohydrates into glycogen which the body uses for energy. |
| Super Concentrated Isoflavones |
From soy (non GMO) a rich source of phytoestrogenic compounds such as genistein and daidzen with antioxidant properties. |
| Iso Soy Powder |
A vegan source of 'complete' protein phytoestrogens and phytosterols. |
| Lipotropic Factors |
Substances that are involved with the removal of or in decreasing the deposition of fat in the liver. They are also involved in carbohydrate and protein metabolism. There are several compounds described as lipotropic factors but a commonly employed combination is choline inositol and methionine. |
| MSM |
A source of sulphur which is widely used throughout the body's organs and systems including detoxification in the liver. It also helps to maintain hair skin and nail health and provides general connective tissue support for joints blood vessels eyes etc. |
| Octacosanol |
A main component of Policosanol it is found in sugar cane whole wheat and other grains. In the body this very long chain fatty alcohol exerts a regulatory role in cholesterol metabolism and supports the conversion of lipids to energy. |
| Phosphatidylserine |
Derived from soy these compounds are classed as phospholipids and as such are an essential part of cell membranes with high concentrations found in the brain. |
| Quercetin |
Found in several fruits vegetables and herbs this is a non-citrus bioflavonoid in the vitamin C family with powerful antioxidant properties. Research has centered on its effect on enzymes that produce inflammation and allergies. |
| Shark Cartilage |
A by-product of the shark fishing industry shark cartilage contains a compound called GAG (glycosaminoglycan) which is an important part of connective tissue/collagen. |
| Shark Liver Oil |
Another by-product of the shark fishing industry and a source of alkylglycerols (AKGs) and squalene. AKG's are found naturally in bone marrow liver spleen and human breast milk and are involved in the production of white blood cells in the immune system. |
