Helps protect the body against free radical damage and protects cells and tissues. Hypoallergenic. Gluten and casein free. Capsules are plant based. Ultra Tested®.
Kirkman® Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful and versatile antioxidant that helps protect the body against free radical damage and, as a result, is a protector of many types of cells and tissues. It also helps increase glutathione production, which supports detoxification processes in the body.
Alpha lipoic acid is a unique antioxidant in that it is both fat- and water-soluble. Other well-known antioxidants can only function within their soluble media. Because of its dual solubility, alpha lipoic acid can function in both fatty and aqueous parts of a cell and is capable of defending against a wide variety of invading free radicals.
Alpha lipoic acid is found naturally in foods such as spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, liver, heart and animal muscle tissue. Its bioavailability from food may be limited, however, because it is bound to a protein called "lipoyllysine.” Preliminary research suggests that the alpha lipoic acid found in supplements may be more biologically active than when bound to this protein in food.

Liposomal Vitamin C for Improved Absorption Most ordinary forms of oral Vitamin C – tablets, capsules, powders, liquids and even dietary sources are not metabolised efficiently due to tightly regulated absorption controls in the body. This means that levels of vitamin C in the intestines reaches saturation point at as little as 200mg. In fact, the more we take in the less we absorb. Thus, very little reaches your blood stream let alone the cells where it is needed most. Until recently intravenous delivery of vitamin C has proven to be the most effective route for absorption, but this method is both costly and impractical.
Altrient C offers the perfect solution because of its scientifically proven liposomal delivery method. This powerful form of transportation encapsulates the nutrient in a microscopic phospholipid bubble that carries it directly to the cells, protecting it from the destructive elements of the digestive system. Altrient C is the most effective option for ensuring your body has adequate vitamin C levels.

Bio-D-Mulsion Forte® from Biotics Research Corporation supplies 2,000 IU per drop of vitamin D3 as a micro-emulsion for enhanced absorption and utilisation, which is particularly important for those with malabsorption conditions. Clinical use of Biotics’ micro-emulsified vitamin D provides significant improvements in serum levels of 25-OH-vitamin D following supplementation. Bio-D-Mulsion Forte™ is an oil-in-water emulsion liquid. Vitamin D oil has been dispersed into microscopic particles to aid absorption and assimilation. There are 750 drops per small bottle (1 fl oz) which offers tremendous value for money for a highly absorbed form of this vital nutrient.
Much research has been undertaken on understanding the role of vitamin D within the body over the past 5 or so years. Its benefits are numerous and deficiency is widespread and its safety profile is extremely high. While the importance of vitamin D for musculoskeletal health is well documented, its importance in numerous other aspects of health are now recognized. They include (but are not limited to) cardiovascular health and immune function.
Therefore the argument to take additional amounts of vitamin D in supplement form is strongly compelling.

CoQ-10 (Coenzyme Q-10) 100 mg contains KanekaQ10 ®, a patented form of CoQ10 fermented from yeast and bio-identical to the CoQ10 which is produced by the body.
CoQ10 exists in two chemical forms - oxidised (ubiquinone) and reduced (ubiquinol). Once it's oxidized, CoQ10 (ubiquinone) is then used by the body where it transforms and becomes ubiquinol. Reduced CoQ10 (ubiquinol) behaves in the same way, turning into ubiquinone when it carries out its role in the body.
As we age, our bodies produce less and less CoQ-10. This vitamin-like substance can be found in a wide variety of foods, but organ meats such as heart, liver and kidney contain particularly high levels. Beef, soy oil, sardines, mackerel, and peanuts are also sources.
Coenzyme Q-10 plays a vital role in cellular health and energy production. CoQ10 is found in all cells of the body with high levels in the heart, skeletal muscles and other tissues with high energy requirements. Due to its versatility CoQ10 is a nutrient for those with busy schedules and the over 50s. CoQ-10 has also been found to support collagen production by reducing collagen breakdown, reducing the effect of ageing on the skin. Levels of CoQ10 are known to diminish with age so it is important to keep them up to support your cells with the ability to regenerate.
Coenzyme Q10 100mg provides ubiquinone in a daily dose of 1 softgel a day.

DIM® Enhanced Delivery System contains BioResponse DIM™, a unique formulation containing pure diindolylmethane, an indole. Indoles are plant compounds with health promoting properties, found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.
Patented BioResponse DIM™ is ten times more potent than indole-3-carbinole (I3C). I3C is highly unstable and has no biologic activity until it is converted to DIM. Conversion of I3C takes place in the stomach and requires an appropriately acidic environment. In contrast to I3C, DIM is highly stable, requires no conversion in the stomach, and is the most active cruciferous phytonutrient in promoting beneficial oestrogen metabolism. DIM is often preferred by clinicians over I3C.
Diindolylmethane, or DIM® has been shown to help regulate and promote a more efficient metabolism of oestrogen, by supporting the body in metabolizing oestrogen into more of the protective 2-hydroxyesterone rather than the proliferative 16-hydroxyesterone. IndoleGard is a stable bioavailable form of DIM®, made possible through a proprietary delivery system. The formula is co-solubilized with phosphatidylcholine, and microencapsulated in starch particles.
Why Take Supplements To Help Female Hormone Balance?
Even the healthiest diet may not contain enough active ingredients to achieve a noticeable or measurable or desired impact on hormonal metabolism. This supplement has been shown to have a measurable beneficial impact on the metabolism of 2-hydroxy and 16-hydroxy oestrones, thereby either reducing certain health risks or improving symptoms or both.

Pure and stable, our highest strength omega-3 fish oil product providing 740mg of EPA and 460mg of DHA per teaspoon. Eskimo®-3 Fish Oil is our highest strength and most cost effective omega-3 supplement in our fish oil range. It is ideal for those looking for additional support in the areas of health that omega-3 benefits including heart health, vision and brain function. It's easy to take with the daily recommended dosage being 1 teaspoon which can be taken by itself or even used as a part of a tasty salad dressing. Just 1 teaspoon a day provides EPA and DHA roughly equivalent to 5 portions of oily fish per week.
The essential fatty acids EPA and DHA are provided in their optimal 3:2 ratio, the same ratio found naturally in oily fish. Omega-3 fatty acids have been well studied, with EPA and DHA contributing to the normal function of the heart, and DHA supporting normal brain function and vision. However, the typical western diet is low in omega-3s, as we simply don't eat enough fish, in particular the oily fish needed to supply the body with the essential omega-3s it needs.
Why Are Omega-3 Oils Important For Health?
No longer deemed the bad guys, we now know that dietary fats are absolutely crucial for health. One particular type of fats, omega-3s, have become the subject of extensive and ongoing research over recent years. Omega-3s are the fats you find in large quantities in oily fish such as tuna, mackerel and salmon, and they are known to be helpful for virtually all aspects of health including heart, brain, mood, joints, vision and inflammation. However, the typical western diet is low in omega-3s, as we simply don't eat enough fish, in particular the oily fish needed to supply the body with the essential omega-3s it needs. It may therefore be helpful to keep your body's levels of the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA topped up in order to maintain optimal overall health.
Benefits of Choosing Eskimo®-3 Fish Oil
Optimally Absorbed
Eskimo®-3 is in triglyceride form meaning it is optimally absorbed. Research has shown that Eskimo®-3 fish oil may be more effective than plain fish oil and a superior way to support heart, brain and vision.

Normal homocysteine levels have been associated with cardiovascular and cognitive health, normal metabolism, and a healthy mood. Homocysteine may affect all other methyl and sulphur group metabolism processes either directly or indirectly.
Homocysteine is metabolised from the essential amino acid methionine. To prevent excess homocysteine accumulation, the body can degrade it through two pathways of liver detoxification, transsulphuration and remethylation. The transsulphuration pathway requires both pyridoxine and P5P as well as serine, and the remethylation pathway can involve methylcobalamin (the active form of B12), S-adenosyl-methionine (SAMe),5-methyltetrahydrofolate, zinc, and trimethylglycine.
Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with lowered levels of vitamins B6, B12, riboflavin, and folate. No correlation or only a weak correlation has been found between these individual nutrients and plasma homocysteine levels, whereas various combinations of these nutrients correlate with beneficial changes in homocysteine levels, supporting the likelihood that all these nutrients are in some way required. The combination of these nutrients works synergistically in way that any single nutrient cannot.
TMG has been shown to be helpful when other nutrients did not improve elevated homocysteine levels. TMG can stimulate remethylation of homocysteine to dimethylglycine in some situations. Additionally, TMG’s methyl donating activity is crucial to liver function and detoxification, and TMG may protect against chemical and alcohol-related damage to the liver.
Recently researchers noticed that homocysteine is highly responsive to riboflavin.
Foodstuffs in North America are commonly fortified with vitamin B2 but are not in Europe, and a specific subset of European individuals with the MTHFR 677 TT genotype was found to have elevated homocysteine levels because of the lack of the riboflavin cofactor.
In a recent study, it was found that supplementing with zinc can reduce serum homocysteine and increase vitamin B12 and folate concentrations in individuals with certain types of blood sugar conditions.
Cysteine is a component of the tripeptide glutathione. It is the rate-limiting amino acid for glutathione production and approximately 50% of the cysteine in glutathione is derived from homocysteine in human liver cells. Antioxidant enzymes such as catalase and superoxide dismutase as well as vitamin E play key roles in enhancing the trans-sulphuration pathway that allows cysteine to build out glutathione. Homocysteine inhibits glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme that protects cells against oxidation and is necessary for normal nitric oxide production and endothelial function. Blood levels of glutathione have been shown to be negatively correlated with homocysteine levels, and supplementation with glutathione has been shown to reduce levels of homocysteine.

L-Lysine 500 mg Vegetable Capsules is part of the premium amino acid range.
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed in several internal functions of the body. They are classified as "essential" or "non-essential", essential amino acids mean they cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in the diet to maintain good all-round health. A suboptimal intake of the essential amino acids increases the body's need for the non-essential amino acids either through diet or supplementation. Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans, cheese and eggs.
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid and is found in the muscle tissue. It is also a supplement that is popular with people for seasonal support. Eating a healthy and balanced diet will help achieve good levels of the amino acids we need and taking a supplement may be a convenient way to achieve and maintain our intake of L-Lysine.
L-Lysine 500 mg Vegetable Capsules come in a free-form and are Kosher and suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians. 1-2 capsules a day provide 500 - 1000 mg of L-Lysine.

Liquid Iodine Forte™ supplies 150 mcg of iodine (as potassium iodide) per drop. Iodine is an essential trace mineral, and is vital to healthy thyroid function.
Approximately 80% of the dietary intake of iodine is sequestered by the thyroid gland. However, other tissues concentrate iodine as well, including salivary glands, the gastric mucosa, choroids plexus, the lactating mammary gland and the ovaries. Decreased iodine status may result in an insufficient production of thyroxine, thus negatively impacting thyroid function. Vegetarians may also be at increased risk of iodine deficiency.
WHY SUPPLEMENT WITH LIQUID IODINE FORTE?
Iodine contributes to normal cognitive function and nervous system as well as normal energy-yielding metabolism, maintenance of normal skin, as well as normal production of thyroid hormones and thyroid function.
Normal development and growth of children are dependent on healthy iodine levels. Use where a need has been determined by a healthcare practitioner.
