Supplements

This section of the shop includes all the major supplements — other than the main vitamin groups — that are essential for maintaining good health. They also usually serve a more specific purpose, and address a special health need or lack.

Amino Acids

The body uses amino acids in the production of neurotransmitters in the brain, several hormones, a variety of enzyme and metabolic processes.

Antioxidants

Research suggests that free-radical reactions are responsible for inflammation, ageing, degenerative arthritis, cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Bioflavonoids

Bioflavonoids are important nutritional factors, and are part of just about every plant on Earth.

Coenzymes

CoQ10 is found in a wide variety of foods, such as the organ meats, beef, soy oil, sardines, mackerel and peanuts, in very small doses. It is synthesized in all tissues.

Essential Fatty Acids

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are essential to optimal health. This group includes two fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, which appear to have vitamin-like activity.

Intestinal Aids

A healthy body starts with healthy intestines.

Minerals

The citrate forms of some minerals are often absorbed more efficiently than are the commonly used carbonate and sulphate forms.

Selenium

Selenium acts as a component of an enzyme that protects cells against oxidative damage.
