Higher Nature MSM

Grazyna from Kingston strongly recommends MSM by Higher Nature. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulphur compound, is the third largest nutrient found in the human body and it is essential for optimum health. It naturally occurs in food, however, through processing, heating and pasteurisation, it can be destroyed completely. MSM is important for the creation of collagen and proper formation of connective tissue, therefore, it is important for flexible joints, healthy muscles, strong hair and nails and healthy looking skin. MSM is also vital for production of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant and body detoxifier, which can eliminate even heavy metals.
It has been established that MSM can reduce inflammation including those resulting from autoimmune reactions. Grazyna says: “I strongly recommend it to anyone who appreciates good health. Sport enthusiasts and athletes can use it to improve their performance and speed up recovery after workouts. People with degenerative diseases can use it to drastically improve their health and quality of life.”

Supplements and Natural Remedies

Natural remedies are as popular as ever. More and more research is helping us understand how they can both treat ailments in the short term and improve our health and quality of life in the long term.

Natural remedies deal with the root cause of health issues, encouraging the body to heal itself. Conventional drugs often work to alleviate symptoms and may just mask the underlying cause.

But you don’t need to be ill to take supplements. The aim of natural remedies is to promote the best possible health (Optimum Health) at all times.

I remember a lecture with Patrick Holford very many years back when I was studying at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition. He asked a very simple question: “what does Optimum health look and feel like?” Just think about it. The whole room lit up and started throwing adjectives at him. The summary description of Optimum health was “feeling happy, energised, driven, vibrant, mentally alert, slim, fit, never sick or in pain, with radiant skin, beautiful hair, strong nails etc…”

In an ideal world, food would contain all the nutrients we need. But in reality we live busy lives and our food is less nutritious and more processed… So in addition to eating a less processed, more plant based and more organic diet, supplements can help us achieve great health. You can take vitamins and herbs to boost energy levels, enhance mood, improve your skin hair and nails… There is a natural remedy for almost everything.

At Panacea you will find a huge range of nutritional supplements, herbal remedies, homeopathic and flower remedies, aromatherapy oils, superfoods, and sports supplements.

We are committed to bringing you the latest, best quality and biggest variety of products. We employ qualified nutritionists, homeopaths, herbalists and naturopaths to offer you the best expert advice, and help you take charge of your own health.

Diet Horizon Reishi Mushroom Complex

Grazyna in our Kingston store loves to recommend Diet Horizon Reishi Mushroom Complex. Regular consumption of Reishi can enhance our body’s immune system and improve blood circulation and better health. It is recommended as an adaptogen for stress, immune support and a general tonic. It’s also been seen to help support liver and lungs. She says “One of the active ingredients in Reishi are ganoderic acids. Preliminary studies indicated that ganoderic acids help alleviate common allergies by inhibiting histamine release, improve oxygen utilization and improve liver function.
