Vitamin C (also known as ascorbic acid) is an important nutrient which must be obtained from the diet or by supplementation, as it cannot be synthesized by the human body. Major dietary sources of vitamin C are green vegetables & fruit. Vitamin C is one of the most labile dietary nutrients, being easily destroyed by cooking or food processing. Levels of vitamin C are reduced by smoking, drinking alcohol, as well as by certain drugs (e.g. anticoagulants, antidepressants, oral contraceptives). ...

Beta carotene in a stable & easily absorbed form. The natural precursor of vitamin A. Beta-Carotene is an important antioxidant. May help to maintian healthy vision, cardiovascular, immune & reproductive systems. Beta-carotene is converted in the intestinal mucosa into retinol (vitamin A). Beta-carotene is also one of the most potent antioxidants, helping to maintain the body’s defence against free radicals. Beta-carotene can support the skin from the effects of exposure to ultraviolet light, & may help supportl fertility. Beta-carotene & vitamin A are required for normal growth & development, for tissue maintenance & repair, & for bone and ...

Chromium is an essential trace element. It functions in an organic complex called ‘ Glucose Tolerance Factor’ (GTF). GTF is responsible for chromium’s many beneficial effects. Chromium depletion has been implicated in high blood cholesterol levels & in poor glucose tolerance. When considering blood sugar levels, chromium works together with the hormone insulin to regulate the levels. Chromium supplements have been used to treat a variety of disorders. Its primary use is in helping to maintain blood sugar levels in individuals tending towards diabetes. Chromium has also been shown to help lower cholesterol levels & increase lean muscle mass for people wishing to lose weight. Bio-Chromium contains 100g of organic chromium which is 25 times more bioavailable (absorbed) than inorganic chromium. Other forms may not be as bio-available or as safe. There are many scientific papers that show the beneficial effects of chromium preparations, particularly in reducing body fat & regulating blood glucose levels. There are no known drug interactions or contra-indications with other forms of medicament for chromium. Insulin dependent diabetics should only take chromium under medical supervision. This is because chromium may reduce the body’s need for insulin. ...

Pharma Nords Bio-Fiber 80 is a good supplement for maintaining a health digestive system. It is a fibre from vegetable sources which helps compensate for the insufficient fibre content in many modern diets. Bio-Fibre 80 is a concentrated fibre tablet which can help compensate for the low fibre content in highly processed diets. It contains not less than 80% dietary fibre. However, fibre content of food supplements is not the only important factor involved. The relationship between the most common types of fibre is also vital. Bio-Fibre 80 contains all four types of fibre in the appropriate proportions. Fibre content has fallen progressively throughout the 20th century, & modern diets with a high content of processed food contain much reduced or little dietary fibre. It is not just the overall level of fibre in the diet which is important, but also the relative amounts of the main types of fibre:- cellulose, hemicellulose, lignan & pectin
- All of which are present in Bio-Fiber. Dietary fibre components reduce blood lipid levels by binding to (and promoting excretion of) cholesterol & bile acids, assist in the removal of toxins & cancer causing substances from the colonic wall, & are partially degraded by colonic bacteria to yield short chain fatty acids, that act as an energy source for the colonic mucosa.

Garlic is a member of the onion (Allium) family, & is used (in fresh or dried form) as a source of characteristic sulphur containing chemical compounds (e.g. allicin, which is responsible for the odour of garlic). Some of these compounds are present in garlic in a latent form, which are activated when garlic cloves are crushed or digested. Bio-Garlic is a formulation containing garlic powder dried in a special way to preserve the activity of these latent chemical compounds (particularly alliin & allinase). The active compounds in garlic help maintain healthy blood lipid profiles; total cholesterol levels are reduced by Approx. 10% (by mediating cholesterol synthesis in the liver), with a 15% increase in HDL cholesterol & 15% reduction in LDL cholesterol. Garlic derived compounds also help maintain healthy cardiovascular function, in particular blood pressure, platelet adhesiveness, & clotting. Garlic derived compounds have anti-microbial activity which helps maintain healthy immune function. ...
