Essential Nutrients
|
|
|
|
|
Some nutrients are said to be essential because the body does not have the means to make them. This together with our increased requirements from living in a toxic environment as well as our foods not being as rich in nutrients as they used to be makes it necessary to include the above as an all round general support. We encourage people to try different varieties of the above list so as not to become sensitised to the same brand or formulation
|
|
|
|
Beyond this basic list, some people may need extra individual vitamins and minerals and this is best prescribed under supervision following tests to measure for deficiencies or excesses of a certain nutrient. For example, why take extra zinc if your tests show that you are not deficient? Your can find out more about testing on our Hair Mineral Analysis and test sections.

Vitamin C
|
|
Vitamin C serves a multitude of functions most especially to maintain the integrity of blood vessels and collagen. It also serves as an important antioxidant and helps improve our immune function.
|
|
Essential Fatty Acids
|
Essential Fatty Acids including Omega 3 fish oils and omega 6 oils are important for lubrication of the skin, joints and key organs including the brain. They help towards stroke prevention as a natural blood thinner as well as being anti-inflammatory in nature. They also help to clear heavy toxic metals out of the body and is therefore important to be sure that the fish oils you buy are not polluted with heavy metals. We have a range of fish oils available which have undergone a special filtration and distillation process to ensure that they are not contaminated with fat-soluble metals.
|
Antioxidants
|
|
Antioxidants help to combat the harmful free radicals not only created by our environment but also from our lifestyle, including those who over exercise. They also help support the liver to detoxify harmful toxins within the body.
|
|
Multi Vitamin & Minerals
|
A good, general multi vitamin / mineral combination serves as an overall protector providing small doses of a multitude of nutrients. This is important as many nutrients work best when taken in combination with other synergistic nutrients rather than as single items.
|
Digestive Enzymes
|
 |
Digestive enzymes are also considered highly important to not only assist us in the digestion of foods but also to absorb the nutrients from our food and supplements. We tend to need more enzymes the more stressed our lifestyle is, the more we consume foods that we are intolerant to and the older we become when our digestive function naturally declines.
