8514 Vegetarian Glucosamine (750mg of Glucosamine HCI)

We are delighted to introduce a glucosamine product to our range that is suitable for vegetarians. Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCL) is manufactured from a vegetable source that undergoes a special fermentation process.

Made to pharmaceutical standards, each tablet provides an impressive 750mg of Glucosamine Sulphate (equivalent to 1000mg Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl).

Do not take if pregnant or breast feeding.

Recommended daily intake: 1-2 tablets

This product provides a full 500mg of Glucosamine Sulphate per tablet plus 100mg of pure, marine sourced Chondroitin Sulphate. Chondroitin is found naturally in the joints where it helps to attract fluid into the cartilage.

Do not take if pregnant or breast feeding.

Recommended daily intake: 2-3 tablets

8517 MSM  1000mg (natural source)

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is seen by many practitioners as the perfect partner to glucosamine. Most companies currently supply petrochemical MSM, but our MSM is naturally sourced.

Each tablet provides a full 1000mg of MSM, making it one of the most potent products on the market. It is also one of the best value MSM products available to practitioners.

8520 Bromelain 500mg (2000 GDU/g)

Bromelain, an enzyme derived from the stem of fresh pineapples, is probably best known for its use as a digestive aid, especially to assist in the digestion of high protein or fatty meals.

Recent research however has turned many experts' attention to its use for helping sports people with sprains and strains. It is believed to inhibit the body's production of prostaglandins associated with inflamation and pain whilst promoting the formation of those with an anti-inflammatory action.

Bromelain can also work well when taken in conjunction with turmeric, so many practitioners recommend taking the two products alongside each other. Bromelain appears to aid the absorption of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric.

To be of use a product must contain at least 2000 GD units per gram, which is why it is important to use a high strength product such as ours that contains this relevant level.

As with all nutrients absorption is of prime importance. This CoQ10 is presented in an oil base for easier absorption and is endorsed by one of the original researchers who first discovered CoQ10.

Do not take if pregnant or breast feeding.

Recommended daily intake: 1 capsule

Also known as ubiquinone, co-enzyme Q10 is the enzyme responsible for the last biochemical pathway required for energy production within our cells. It is therefore not surprising to find the highest concentrations of co-enzyme Q10 in those organs, which have the highest energy requirements such as the heart muscle and liver, and in those tissues that regenerate quickly such as the gums.

A lack of co-enzyme Q10 has been associated with periodental (gum) disease. Similarly it has been shown that those with certain heart conditions and the obese tend to have low co-enzyme Q10 levels. Co-enzyme Q10 is found in foods, particularly organ meat, but cooking and processing methods have a tendency to destroy it and, whilst it can be made in the body, production declines as we age. In fact, a lack of energy in older people may, in part, be connected with lower co-enzyme Q10 production in the body.

Our Co-Enzyme Q10 now comes in a handy one-a-day 100mg potency and, as with all nutrients, absorption is of prime importance so it is presented in a vegetable oil base for easier assimilation.

Supplied in gelatin-free capsules.

Lecithin is one of the richest natural sources of choline and inositol, both of which are much heralded ‘cleaning’ materials for overworked liver cells – they literally encourage the transport of fatty toxins out of the liver (and eventually the body) via the gut.

They also play an important role in helping to build cell membranes and choline is a precursor of the neurotransmitter (brain chemical) acetylcholine, which is essential for normal brain activity and plays a prominent role in memory.

Recommended daily intake: 1-4 capsules

A pure granular form produced from 100% natural soya extract. The granules can easily be sprinkled on to cereals, stirred into fruit juices or added to soups without affecting the flavour.

These pleasant tasting granules are one of the cheapest ways to boost your intake of Choline.

We use bamboo gum as a source as it is rich in compounds called glycosaminoglycans that are found in structural tissues such as arteries, tendons, skin, bones and cartilage.

Do not take if pregnant or breast feeding
