Viridian Vegan EPA and DHA

Great for baby, great for me

Catalina, our Edgware Store Manager loves Viridian Vegan EPA and DHA. She says “It provides Omega 3 fatty acids from sustainably-grown marine algae, European grown Chia seed oil to supply the full spectrum of omega 3, 6 and 9, and also has natural orange oil for flavour. Because I still am breastfeeding, my baby needs high DHA for brain development and this is a very good alternative to Fish oil. The Viridian EPA and DHA is easy to use as it is in liquid form.”

Higher intakes of Omega 3 oils are known to reduce inflammation and help with brain function. I am also working and studying and I have seen improvements in memory and concentration since taking this supplement. I also know that a higher DHA intake in a baby’s diet helps with better brain development and function, as well as special cognitive and visual function. With this supplement we all benefit.

Each 1ml serving typically provides:
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) 75mg
DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) 150mg
ALA (Alpha linolenic acid) 222mg
Omega 6 (Linoleic acid) 89mg
Omega 9 (Oleic Acid) 29mg

 

Higher Nature Immune Plus

The armour against cold before winter time brings weakness

Winter is around the corner and the most common viral infection is ready to “attack” as soon as people’s immune system drops its defence.  This popular enemy is the common cold and everyone has suffered its symptoms once in their lifetime – sore throat, coughing and sneezing, high temperature, mild to severe headache or blocked or runny nose.  Any prevention for the body has to be considered as welcome.  Thus, boosting of the immune system is a priority in autumn and winter time. For this reason, Higher Nature does a fantastic product to protect against the cold and to reinforce immunity.  It is called Immune +

Long working hours, not enough time to prepare good food, too much coffee and tea, excess pressure at work and sleepless nights slowly compromise our health every day, and at some point the body collapses.  Supplementation can be an effective solution for supporting health.  It is true that people can get all required minerals and nutrients within their diet, but nowadays food is highly processed, animals are full of steroids and antibiotics, and vegetables and fruits are picked before they are mature causing depletion in their goodness.  Organic food could be a great alternative, but realistically not everyone can afford to buy organic products.

Higher Nature Immune + is a great combination of vitamin c, zinc and three of the most powerful antioxidant fruits: blackcurrant, black elderberry and bilberry.  Immune + could help to prevent and treat colds as it supports the immune system, maintains elasticity of the skin, heals wounds, and has been seen to be beneficial in symptoms of asthma and some cardiovascular conditions.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is well known for its role as an antioxidant and limits the damage effects of free radicals, such as smoking or pollution of our contaminated world.  Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which means that humans cannot create or store it. Therefore, it has to be received through food or by supplements.

Zinc

Higher Nature Immune + contains zinc which is involved in the activation of T lymphocytes cells (T cells).  These T cells play an important role in the control and regulation of the immune response, and attacks infected cells or harmful toxins in the body.  It is remarkable that Higher Nature uses zinc citrate, one of the easiest absorbable forms.

Immune + also combines blackcurrant, black elderberry and bilberry to support and strengthen the antioxidant action of billions of cells.

Blackcurrant

Blackcurrant is known as the “superstar” vitamin, despite of popular misconception, because concentration of ascorbic acid is higher than in oranges. Its anti-inflammatory effect could prevent inflammation-related fevers and help the immune system function better and to enable faster recovery.

Elderberry

Elderberry provides a good  amount of bio-flavonoids preventing quick breakdown of vitamin C and allows the body to reap more benefits. Its anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties build a consistent fence for those “foreign and opportunist enemies” that take advantage when the immune system is weak.

Bilberry

Bilberry contains a compound called anthocyanosides which promotes blood vessel strength, supports lowering of cholesterol and prevents cell damage, among other benefits.

Two tablets of Immune + provides 1000mg of vitamin C, 5mg of Zinc, 80mg of black elderberry and 50mg of blackcurrant and bilberry, respectively.

As prevention 1 or 2 tablets daily should be enough to make strong armour for anyone. However, if the “enemies” are already conquering and compromising the vital immunity of the body, up to 6 tablets are allowed daily. Safety and effectiveness has been proved after many years in the market with a great feedback from customers.  One of the main ethical points for Higher Nature is that the company would not market a product, even a bestseller, if Higher Nature was not convinced of its health benefits.

Korean Ginseng Corp. Red Ginseng Capsules

Santha in our Kingston Store as well as Ioana in Edgware both like the Korean Red Ginseng capsules.

Ioana says: “I like it because I think is one of the strongest on the market. It gave me the energy that I lacked, but also helped me control my stress levels. It is a great tonic for tiredness, stress and detoxification.

Santha goes on to say explain the reason he prefers this ginseng over other brands:

  • The selected fully matured 6 year old Korean Ginseng roots are washed with skin intact and sun dried to keep in all the health giving Ginsenosides and this process gives the product a shelf life as long as 10 years.
  • It is easy to digest and absorb and therefore suitable for all ages.
  • It helps fight against aging due to its antioxidants and helps the body restore its vitality.
  • It helps to alleviate stress, tiredness and helps to increase blood circulation, concentration and brain function.
  • Because of it’s adaptogenic qualities, it is often especially beneficial for those recovering from illness, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and those suffering from diabetes.

 

Viridian Myo-Inositol and Folic acid

Oana, our Watford store manager likes Viridian Myo-inositol with folic acid and Nature’s Answer Vitex, both very beneficial for female hormonal health.

Oana says: “It is estimated that 10% of reproductive age woman have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), making it one of the most common hormonal issues. I’ve been managing my PCOS with a low glycaemic diet and exercise, but what I found works very well for restoring hormonal balance, ovulation and fertility is a combination of Myo-Inositol and folic acid. I recommend 2 grams of Viridian’s Myo-inositol and folic acid twice daily in water for minimum 3 months. I also recommend Natures Answer Vitex Agnus Castus – 2 ml first thing in the morning.  This is one of the most important herbs for PCOS because it helps to stimulate and normalise the function of the pituitary gland, which controls the release of luteinising hormone.”

Aside from being used for PCOS, Myo-Inositol and folic acid combinations have been beneficial for women who suffer from insulin resistance, hirsuitism, elevated testosterone and also as a supplement for preconception.

 

Nature’s Plus Ultra Lutein

Maria in our Putney Store recommends Ultra Lutein by Nature’s Plus. She writes:  I started take this supplement to help improve my vision, as I had been diagnosed with tired eyes (or eye strain) a few years ago.

After I had been taking the Ultra Lutein for a couple of months, I noticed that I can use my phone or computer for longer without needing to put my glasses on.

Nature’s Plus Ultra Lutein contains: Lutein and Zeaxanthin in an easy to swallow oil based capsule for optimal absorption.
