Health Supplements

We stock a wide range of health supplements, including herbs, whole food extracts, amino acids and proteins, fatty acids, fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals, to name a few! These supplements can assist with a wide range of health issues, having biological effects like anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Some supplements can support natural biological processes, like cartilage regeneration or digestion. Alternatively, many use health supplements preventatively—for the maintenance of wellness.

The mineral content of soil has significantly declined over the past century due to over farming to support the world's growing population. A study published in 2004 by the Journal of the American College of Nutrition examined the nutritional content of 43 different fruits and vegetables using data from 1950 to 1999. Their research highlighted declines in protein and several vitamins and minerals, which indicates that even if we eat as much fresh produce as people did back in 1950, we will not be getting the same amount of nutrition. This is one of the many ways in which multi-vitamins and minerals can help, by providing the nutritional basics that may be lacking.

In addition, we have immune support products—great for those winter months—superfood and alkalising powders, anti-stress and anxiety formulations and even supplements to assist memory and concentration. We only stock high quality products and trust you will find a suitable formulation to take you one step closer towards achieving your health goals. 

We all know that a "balanced diet" is important, right? Obviously, the most difficult part of this is determining what a balanced diet actually is ... is the one-size-fits-all approach to diet necessarily a good thing? We all respond to food in slightly different ways, which is determind by subtle variances in our genes. The way we digest food, how our immune system reacts to proteins, and how our metabolism responds to different nutrient concentrations can differ quite enormously. Obviously, Health Supplements, like the basic vitamins or minerals are a great way to ensure that no matter what we consume (hopefully it is healthy though!) we will meet our daily quota for these nutrients.
