WE ARE AUSTRALIA’S NUMBER 1 DIRECT SUPPLIER OF HEALTH SUPPLEMENTS BECAUSE OF YOU

“

Dear all our Australian NaturalCare family members, Welcome to the latest edition of our Health Guide, which has been many months in the making.

We have taken a bit more time with this edition as we were waiting to complete the change-over to our new style bottles. We wanted a consistent look and feel across everything you see, so it was important to get it right.

As always, our goal is to help you and your family at every point during your health and wellness journey by offering a choice of natural alternatives across a very broad product range. Apart from our own branded vitamins and supplements range, we continue to source an ever-increasing range of natural beauty, health foods, and healthy home products, carefully chosen to make it easier for you to reduce the amount of chemicals you’re exposed to every day.

Over the past year we’ve continued to update and improve some of our Australian NaturalCare branded supplements., including our improved formula for A Good Night’s Sleep, which has had an extraordinary response from customers. We’ve also launched new products like Bilberry 24,000mg, Calcium + Vitamin D3 & K2, Iron BioMAX, Activated B12 1000mcg, and DHA for Pregnancy & Breastfeeding.

I believe that having access to good information is vital to making educated decisions. This is particularly important when deciding which health products are right for you and your family - that’s why we always include as much information and research as possible in the Health Guide. I don’t want you to waste your money on products that aren’t backed by a wealth of information. I want you to be informed about what you are buying.

As you know we are about to start exporting Australian NaturalCare products overseas. And as one of the few remaining companies that still make natural health supplements in Australia, it makes me so proud that our products are 100% manufactured by Australians.

Of course, none of this could be possible without your passionate support, for which I am eternally grateful. We are Australia’s number one direct supplier of health supplements because of you.

Your partner in health,

Peter Jamieson Chief Executive Officer

EVERYDAY HEALTH

Our story begins in 1989 in Byron Bay, one of Australia’s most iconic wellness destinations. Australian NaturalCare’s founder was a health pioneer who was passionate about helping people support their health and wellbeing with natural products.

Nearly 30 years later, we’ve grown to be the number one ‘direct-tocustomers’ retailer of Australianmanufactured supplements. In that time, we’ve helped support the health goals of over 500,000 people by providing a caring, personalised service, professional health and wellness advice, and products of the highest quality.

What makes us different?

Unlike other brands, we know the names of all of our customers. We speak to them regularly and listen carefully to their feedback. We see every customer as an individual with their own unique concerns and health goals.

More than just supplements

We believe that wellness comes from both nutritional choices and a more natural approach to lifestyle.

Our supplement range now includes over 90 vitamins, minerals and other nutritional supplements, along with an extensive range of natural foods, healthy home and personal care products.

EVIDENCE-BACKED FORMULAS

OUR QUALITY PROMISE

Scientists are discovering amazing new information about the power of nature every day.

All Australian NaturalCare branded vitamins and supplements are manufactured in Australia at state-of-the art facilities.

If a product is in our range, or an ingredient is in one of our products, you can feel confident that it’s there because our team of experts believes it has the evidence to back it up.

That’s also why we offer a highly curated range. Rather than having hundreds of similar products that all claim to help with the same condition, we keep it simple for you by offering just a few distinct and carefully researched products tailored for that particular health need.

Quality you can trust

Australia has the world’s highest standards and most strictly controlled manufacturing practices for natural health supplements. That’s why we manufacture all Australian NaturalCare supplements here – it ensures our customers can have complete confidence in the quality of every one of our products.

HEART HEALTH

Coenzyme Q10

Ever wanted to know more about coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)? Read on to discover the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions here at Australian NaturalCare.

What is CoQ10?

CoQ10 is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like compound that’s also known as ubiquinone and ubidecarenone. It takes its name from its chemical structure, which is comprised of a group of elements bonded together to form a structure called a quinone, plus a side chain of 10 parts.

How is CoQ10 involved with energy?

CoQ10 is essential for the production of cellular energy, a process that occurs in the mitochondria of the cells and results in the manufacture of a compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy currency for all the body’s processes.

Due to its central role in cellular energy production, CoQ10 is found in large amounts in organs and tissues that have a high metabolic rate, like the heart, muscles and liver.

CoQ10 is also active in cell membranes, where it assists in the transfer of energy and oxygen between the blood and the cells.

10

Is CoQ10 an antioxidant?

CoQ10 is one of the body’s most important antioxidants, and has powerful free radicalscavenging actions. This is particularly important when it comes to cholesterol, as CoQ10 helps prevent the harmful oxidation of low-density lipidprotein (LDL) cholesterol molecules, thus playing a key role in heart and cardiovascular health. (Refer to page 16 for more info on this aspect of CoQ10’s functions in the body).

How else does CoQ10 support cardiovascular health?

CoQ10 supports healthy heart and cardiovascular function in several other ways too. For example, as a muscle that’s in constant action, the heart has high energy demands, and CoQ10’s important involvement in cellular energy production is vital here.

Cardiovascular health also involves the healthy functioning of the blood vessels. CoQ10 helps maintain healthy circulation to the peripheral parts of the body (in other words, those that are at the greatest distance from the heart such as the feet and lower legs).

WWW.AUSNATURALCARE.COM.AU

“

HEART HEALTH

COQ10 IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOR HELPING TO MAINTAIN OLDER PEOPLE’S CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH.

Can CoQ10 help my exercise performance?

Many athletic pursuits place a high workload on the heart and skeletal muscles, necessitating access to large quantities of ATP, and CoQ10 may help to maintain your body’s natural energy production.

It also supports healthy immune function (which sometimes suffers when athletes are training hard), and may have antioxidant benefits for athletes.

“

by your healthcare professional. If you’re taking prescribed medications though, please talk to either your doctor or one of our naturopaths before you start. Do not take CoQ10 while on warfarin therapy without medical advice.

It’s best to take your CoQ10 supplement with food.

Which foods contain CoQ10?

CoQ10 is present in a wide variety of dietary sources, especially foods like the chicken leg, beef hearts, herring and trout.

The daily intake from food is estimated to be 3-5mg per day, which is supplemented by the body’s own production of CoQ10.

However, our production of CoQ10 declines as we age, and consequently supplementation may become an increasingly important part of maintaining healthy CoQ10 levels as you get older. (Refer to page 17 for more details on CoQ10 and healthy ageing).

How much CoQ10 should I take?

For most healthy people a suitable dose of CoQ10 is 150mg per day, taken either in three doses of 50mg or a single dose of 150mg, unless advised otherwise

As you get older, your CoQ10 levels decline markedly – especially in hard-working organs like your heart, pancreas, lungs, kidneys and adrenal glands.

LYNNE ALDERTON

QUICK. GUESS HOW OLD LYNNE IS? This is Lynne Alderton doing a spot of yoga on the Sunshine Coast where she feels very privileged to live.

Lynne is in fact, 72. A very sprightly 72. A very flexible 72.

She started as an Australian NaturalCare CoQ10 customer way back in 2003 and she’s been taking the product ever since. “I’ve stayed on CoQ10 because I believe it’s a very important supplement to take. I’ve never thought of not taking it,” she says emphatically.

When she introduced CoQ10 into her daily routine Lynne was recovering from a major operation and was receiving ongoing medical treatment.

She’d been told CoQ10 was “the basic source of energy that fuels our whole body.” It’s found in literally every cell of the body. And while our bodies do make CoQ10, which our cells use to produce the energy they need for cell growth and maintenance, unfortunately, after our 20s, our bodies begin to wind down production of this vital substance.

Lynne wasn’t 20 anymore and after her operation and treatment, she desperately wanted to get her energy back.

With a little help from CoQ10, Lynne has maintained her good health all the way into her retirement years with energy levels that are the envy of family and friends. She’s not one to sit still.

She studied classical ballet for 16 years, which she

says is, “Great for my balance – something people my age need to work on.” Along the way, she has also found time to join an amateur theatre group who put on shows in local retirement villages and aged care homes.

Lynne lives just a block away from the beach. Her house was built in the early 1920’s, bought by her grandfather a few years later and has been continuously occupied by her family ever since.

Lynne will never sell her home that has been in the family for 90 or so years. Living so close to such a beautiful beach, why would she?

Among her so called “retirement” activities, she lists a weekly yoga class and babysitting two of her six grandchildren who live nearby. She’s also a member and regular lunch attender of the local View Club, which raises money for the children’s charity The Smith Family.

In her yoga class, where balance and flexibility are very much in demand, she has noticed that despite her age, she’s able to comfortably do exercises well beyond her instructor’s expectations.

So, if you ever find yourself walking with a friend along the beach on the Sunshine Coast, and you happen to see Lynne Alderton there striking a yoga pose, ask your friend “Guess how old that woman is?” We think they’ll be surprised by the answer.

AMBASSADOR PROFILE

HEART HEALTH

Talk about not being able to see the forest for the trees. When we were preparing a list of potential candidates to be our new brand ambassadors, we nearly overlooked Maurice. Despite the fact he was right there under our noses.

Maurice Cicero works here at Australian NaturalCare as our Ecommerce General Manager.

Smart fellow. Computer science degree from Macquarie University. He knows a lot about digital technology. And he’s been using coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) for around five years – pretty much since he started at ANC. Prior to joining us he confesses he knew little or nothing about CoQ10. Most of his career had been spent in industries that can be, shall we say, a little harder on the body and its cells – the wine industry in South Australia and a rather well-known brewing company in Melbourne. Having regularly sampled his previous employers’ products, he decided he should find out a bit more about ours.

With his inquisitive mind and science degree background, Maurice did more research than most.

He was impressed by statements he read such as, “CoQ10 is a natural, vitamin-like compound that all cells need in order to make energy.”

“I discovered CoQ10 was a well-established product with lots of scientific information about it available.

I read up on how it was instrumental in creating

SUPPORT YOUR HARD-WORKING HEART

HEART HEALTH

Did you know that if your blood vessels were laid out end-to-end, they’d wrap around the earth two-and-a-half times?

The heart pumps up to 100,000 times a day to ensure that a steady stream of blood reaches every millimetre of your arteries, veins, and capillaries. These actions officially make it the busiest organ in your body. Taking a CoQ10 supplement supports your hard-working heart and assists with healthy circulation.

It may be particularly beneficial for older people, because our own production of CoQ10 declines as we age.

energy at a cellular level,” he said. “I’ve really noticed the effects CoQ10 has had on my energy levels and my recovery rate after a game of soccer.

I don’t get as tired.”

Maurice lives what many people would consider a very busy lifestyle. Outside of his important role at ANC, he’s involved in playing soccer with a local team; he loves skiing (holiday in Hokkaido, Japan coming up); and can often be seen enthusiastically playing drums in a head-banging garage band. Add to that a family life which, understandably, revolves around an active 7-year-old son, and you can see why keeping his energy levels up is both important and necessary to him. He read that “Nature has designed us humans in such a way that levels of this energy-providing nutrient peak in our 20s and decrease from that point onward.”

Information like this really hit home to Maurice, as he was, “A fair bit older than that”.

His Australian NaturalCare-inspired regimen of CoQ10, along with a multi-vitamin and fish oil, now helps support his very full lifestyle. As “an older dad” (his words), his circumstances may have changed somewhat from those years in the wine and beer industries. But at least now, with the help of some ANC products, he has the energy levels to really enjoy a full and active life.

COQ10 150MG ONE-A-DAY GET UP & GO CoQ10 150mg One-A-Day Get Up & Go provides an optimal dose of CoQ10 in a single convenient capsule. CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that supports healthy heart, cardiovascular and immune system function, helps inhibit the harmful oxidation of LDL-cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol), and replenishes the antioxidant activity of vitamin E.

HEART HEALTH

CoQ10 AND CHOLESTEROL Looking after your cholesterol involves more than just aiming for a low reading on your next blood test! It’s also important to minimise the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol – read on to discover why that’s important, and how CoQ10 can help.

Taking a CoQ10 supplement may increase the resistance of LDL-c molecules to oxidative damage, thereby helping to support your cardiovascular health – especially when consumed with a hearthealthy diet.

The good and bad of cholesterol There are two main types of cholesterol: LDLcholesterol (LDL-c), which is the so-called ‘bad’ form, and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-c), which is the ‘good’ or protective form.

If you’re considering taking CoQ10 to help reduce the risk of LDL-c oxidation, a suitable dose for most people is 150mg daily, however your healthcare professional may advise additional amounts under some circumstances.

Ideally, you want a healthy balance between HDL-c and LDL-c for optimal health.

Since CoQ10 has the potential to interact with some prescribed medicines, talk to your healthcare professional if you’re unsure whether it’s suitable for you. Do not take CoQ10 while on warfarin therapy without medical advice.

LDL-c is highly susceptible to free radical damage or oxidation, and inhibiting that process may be an important outcome of an antioxidant-rich, hearthealthy diet.

CoQ10 inhibits the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol CoQ10 is incorporated into the cell membranes of both LDL-c and HDL-c molecules, where it plays an important role in helping to inhibit oxidative damage.

AGE WELL WITH

CoQ10

Your physiology changes as you get older due to a wide variety of factors, which may include your personal health history and that of your family, the environment in which you’ve lived and worked, and your diet and lifestyle habits over the course of your life.

What happens to your cells as you get older?

Two key changes are observed at a cellular level that appear to contribute to the ageing process: •A n increasing imbalance between antioxidant status and the effects of free radical compounds (also known as oxidative stress) •A declining capacity for energy production as cells get older CoQ10’s role in ageing and cellular energy CoQ10 plays an important role in helping to maintain general health and wellbeing in older people because it’s required by and found in almost all cells, tissues and organs in the body, plays a central role in cellular energy production, and is a potent antioxidant.

However, your body’s production of CoQ10 declines significantly as you get older and consequently the levels in your tissues do too.

In the case of the heart, CoQ10 production in the myocardial (heart muscle) cells of an 80-year-old may be only half those found in a 20-year-old.

Antioxidant benefits of CoQ10 As your body’s CoQ10 production declines with age, its ability to address free radicals and offset their impact may be reduced too. This may be one of the reasons that older people have been

observed to have increased oxidative stress (free radical damage) compared to those who are younger.

While there is no secret to eternal youth, taking CoQ10 may help maintain older people’s general wellbeing by helping to offset free radical damage while also supporting healthy heart function and cellular energy production.

GET UP & GO COQ10 50MG Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is important for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy source that fuels all bodily processes. It’s also a powerful antioxidant that supports healthy heart function, cardiovascular health and immune system function, and helps inhibit the harmful oxidation of LDLcholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol), and replenishes the antioxidant activity of vitamin E. Get Up & Go CoQ10 50mg may be particularly beneficial for older people because the body’s own levels of CoQ10 diminish with age. It may also help active people meet the heart and skeletal muscles’ cellular energy demands during physical activity.

BERGAMOT FOR BETTER BLOOD LIPIDS

BERGAMOT CHOLESTEROL PRO

Bergamot is a species of citrus native to Calabria in Southern Italy, with a fruit that shares some of the characteristics of oranges, lemons and grapefruit, all of which it’s closely related to. Compared to those citrus fruits, the juice and pith (the white, inner part of the rind) of the bergamot fruit are particularly rich in compounds called flavonoids and polyphenols. The unique blend of these constituents is considered responsible for bergamot’s positive effects on blood lipids in healthy people.

Bergamot Cholesterol Pro supports cardiovascular health by helping healthy people maintain normal cholesterol, triglyceride and blood sugar levels, and a healthy balance between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterol (also known as the LDL:HDL ratio). Bergamot also has powerful antioxidant properties, and may help reduce the harmful effects of free radical damage (oxidation) on LDL-cholesterol.

Highly concentrated formula with vitamin C for additional cholesterol management in healthy people, blood vessel support and antioxidant benefits. Equivalent to 75 grams of fresh bergamot juice per tablet.

OLIVE LEAF MAX

VITAMIN K2 180MCG

It’s not just olive oil that’s good for your heart! Olive Leaf MAX is a powerful antioxidant that helps maintain cardiovascular health and may help healthy people maintain normal blood pressure. In addition to its heart health benefits, olive leaf has traditionally been used in Mediterranean countries for the relief of coughs and fevers. Its therapeutic properties are largely attributed to the presence of the antioxidant compound oleuropein, so Olive Leaf MAX is a high potency formula, standardised for its oleuropein content.

Vitamin K2 supports cardiovascular and blood vessel health. Among other functions, it helps maintain the elasticity that provides flexibility to the blood vessel walls, and is required for normal healthy blood coagulation. In the skeletal system, vitamin K2 plays an important role in bone mineralisation and the development and maintenance of strong healthy bones. It may also significantly decrease the age-related decline in bone mineral density and bone strength often experienced by women. Vitamin K2 is more readily absorbed and utilised by the body than vitamin K1, and is retained in the body for longer. High-strength, one-aday formula.

CURCUMIN, INFLAMMATION AND OSTEOARTHRITIS

Osteoarthritis is often referred to as a disease of wear-and-tear, but its development also involves inflammation and free radical damage to the affected joints.

What causes osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis occurs as a result of multiple factors, which may include the amount of strain and load bearing your joints have dealt with due to your lifestyle practices and work habits, your diet, and your family history.

At a physiological level, it involves tissue changes in the cartilage and joints. These changes are associated with numerous inflammatory processes (which occur via chemicals known as inflammatory mediators), and with free radical damage or oxidative stress in the area.

Curcumin and its anti-inflammatory action Curcumin exerts is anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting certain inflammatory mediators.

(Examples include leukotrienes, thromboxanes, COX-2, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8, prostaglandin E2 and TNF-alpha). Inhibition of these inflammatory mediators helps to address inflammation in mild osteoarthritis.

Potent antioxidant activity Curcumin also has potent antioxidant properties and has been shown to reduce the production of specific types of free radicals called reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are often found in damaged cartilage.

20

Therapeutic benefits of curcumin The upshot of all these complex biochemical and physiological terms is that curcumin’s antiinflammatory properties are considered at least partially responsible for its ability to temporarily reduce the symptoms of mild osteoarthritis.

Taking curcumin may help relieve symptoms of mild osteoarthritis including joint pain, inflammation and swelling. It may also help improve the mobility of joints affected by mild osteoarthritis.

Choosing the right curcumin formula Curcumin on its own is difficult to absorb, and in the past its poor bioavailability meant you needed to take large doses to get therapeutic results, but at Australian NaturalCare, we use a preparation called Meriva® Curcumin, which employs a patented phytosome technology to combine curcumin with phospholipids to boost bioavailability and enhance curcumin’s absorption.

All ANCP supplements are guaranteed to be 100% manufactured and packaged in Australia according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

DENISE GREEN

WARNING: DO NOT LEAP OFF THE BACK OF A PLUMBER’S TRUCK She said she should have known better. It was the sort of thing a retired high school head teacher really should not do. In fact, it was just the kind of silly thing she had probably admonished students for doing in her previous career.

The leap from the back of her partner’s truck was the beginning of some persistent knee discomfort for Denise Green of Casino (the town in New South Wales, not the establishment).

The discomfort significantly disturbed her sleep every night. And it also seriously disrupted her partner’s plumbing business. Denise was more than just her partner’s “assistant”. Her partner is legally blind, suffering from glaucoma and tunnel vision in one eye and being completely blind in the other. He still managed to carry on a plumbing business, but because of his sight (or lack of it) he wasn’t allowed to drive. Denise didn’t just drive him to jobs, she was also quite often called upon to be his eyes in some circumstances. She refers to it as being both his “chauffeur and gofer”.

Denise had been buying Fish Oil capsules from ANC for years and was also aware of what was

being written about curcumin. She decided to give Australian NaturalCare’s Curcumin AntiInflammatory Pain Reliever a go.

Within a week of taking curcumin the pain in her knee had gone. This is an ex-high school head teacher – she wasn’t imagining things. To use her own words, “Curcumin has made a massive difference. I can’t do without it. I was amazed at how quickly it worked.”

When she’s not being a plumber’s assistant, you’ll generally find Denise Green in her garden (we decided to avoid all the obvious puns on her surname and gardening). She says she’d “happily play all day in the garden”, tending to her vegetables and native bottlebrush plants. Denise has even returned to mowing the lawn. Perhaps we should include a warning on the curcumin bottle from now on… Caution: Taking curcumin could lead to lawn mowing!

LES JENNINGS (ALIAS JOHN LANDY)

AT AGE 80, LES STILL HAS A FEW MAJOR AMBITIONS IN LIFE At age 80, long time ANC customer Les Jennings, still has a few major ambitions in life. One of them is to help everyone, “Be healthy, look good and have all their marbles”. The other is to put together a book, along with an online self-help course, that guides people on their way to living past 100. So, while many his age would be happy just to sit back and take in the view of sea planes taking off and landing on beautiful Sydney harbour, Les is tapping away on his computer, writing a chapter here and a module there.

Someone should probably be writing Les’ story. He is, well, a character. And a hypnotist. Les has made a living out of being a hypnotist for 63 of his 80 years.

When we asked how he got into it, he told us the story of how as a 17 year old he attended a circus tent show featuring a hypnotist. Les volunteered as a subject and was “put under”. Then he was convinced by the showman that he was John Landy, the Australian runner who became the second person ever to break the four-minute mile. To everyone’s amusement, young hypnotised Les, ran several circuits of the circus tent – until he tripped on a tent peg, banged his head on a pole and ended up unconscious, in hospital.

Thus began his own career that, over time, involved travelling shows, circuses and the like. More legitimate (but less entertaining) usage of hypnosis

22

i.e. hypnotherapy, didn’t come along till later as the practise was not officially recognised by the medical fraternity until the 1950s. But today hypnotherapy is used for quite a variety of medical applications, from quitting smoking to relieving phobias.

Les has always looked after his health. In fact, before ANC existed, he used to import supplements like curcumin for personal use. He later switched to buying locally. “I prefer to buy from ANC. I’m sure of what I’m getting with ANC”. He does his homework, he does his research, and he knows that curcumin is one of the most studied natural health products available. “But it’s hard for curcumin to be absorbed into your body” said Les. Which is why he likes the fact that ANC’s Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever contains Meriva® Curcumin - a special formula made using patented phytosome technology to boost bioavailability and enhance absorption.

“At 80, I still don’t have any aches or pains” he says. We reckon he’s looking pretty good too.

He definitely has a full complement of marbles, and from all appearances, he’s very likely to crack the ton.

GLUCOSAMINE AND CHONDROITIN: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Although they’re often discussed together, glucosamine and chondroitin are different substances, with different – but related – functions in cartilage and joint health.

Glucosamine is a building block for compounds called proteoglycans, which are the foundation substance for the cartilage that lines the joints. Each proteoglycan consists of a protein core, which is attached to one or more chains of molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Chondroitin is one of four types of GAGs found in the body and plays a key role in the structural integrity of cartilage.

FLEXICARE GLUCOSAMINE & CHONDROITIN

FORMULA

Flexicare Glucosamine & Chondroitin may provide temporary relief of mild osteoarthritis pain, reduce the associated inflammation and swelling, and help increase joint mobility. Glucosamine and chondroitin are used by the body in the maintenance, repair and rebuilding of healthy cartilage and to support the natural shock-absorbing capacity of the joints. Flexicare also contains manganese, which is involved in the synthesis of glycoproteins (the building blocks needed for cartilage synthesis) and vitamin C, which is needed for the formation of healthy collagen, a key component of cartilage.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF CURCUMIN Curcumin is the compound that gives turmeric its vibrant yellow colour and earthy flavour. Among other actions, curcumin is a potent antioxidant and antiinflammatory compound that may have significant benefits in helping to relieve symptoms of mild osteoarthritis - including pain, inflammation and swelling - while also helping to improve joint mobility.

Its effects appear to occur via actions on several of the pathways and chemicals involved in the body’s inflammatory processes.

CURCUMIN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PAIN RELIEVER Derived from turmeric, curcumin is a potent anti-inflammatory that provides relief from mild osteoarthritic pain. It may also help reduce the joint inflammation and swelling associated with mild osteoarthritis and improve the mobility of affected joints. Curcumin usually has poor bioavailability, and consequently requires extremely large doses in order to get results when taken as regular turmeric.

However, at Australian NaturalCare we use Meriva® Curcumin, a proprietary curcumin extract in a phospholipid base that enhances curcumin absorption, so you can obtain the therapeutic benefits while taking just two tablets a day.

DIET AND EXERCISE FOR MILD OSTEOARTHRITIS

At Australian NaturalCare, we’re proud to offer a wide range of nutritional and herbal supplements that may help relieve the symptoms of mild osteoarthritis. Products like Healthy Joints (page 29), Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever (page 23) and Vegetarian Glucosamine PLUS (page 31) may all help relieve mild osteoarthritis pain, inflammation and joint stiffness.

• Whole food, plant-based diet: In a study published in 2014, people with mild osteoarthritis consumed either a whole food plant-based diet or continued with their regular diet. After six weeks, those who’d followed the whole food, plant-based diet had experienced significant improvements in joint function compared to those who stuck to their regular diets

However, there’s more you can do to support your joints too – starting with a healthy diet and exercise routine.

Exercising with osteoarthritis In mild osteoarthritis, appropriate exercise appears to improve joint symptoms and mobility, as well as quality of life, sleeping patterns, energy and psychological wellbeing.

Which diet is best for osteoarthritis?

Two eating patterns that seem particularly beneficial for people with mild osteoarthritis both feature large quantities of vegetables and other plant-based foods: • Mediterranean style diet: Research suggests that people with osteoarthritis who eat a Mediterranean-style diet are likely to have better quality of life and lower levels of pain, stiffness and impaired joint function than those who eat a regular Western-style diet. This may be partially due to the Mediterranean diet’s relatively high proportions of omega-3s from seafood, which have anti-inflammatory benefits in the body.

(Learn more about omega-3s in mild osteoarthritis on page 32).

24

In addition, it may help manage body weight, and thus reduce the load on your joints.

Ask your healthcare professional about the best form of exercise for your joints, and where possible, aim for a mix of low-impact activities that incorporate balance, stretching and resistance.

Good choices for many people include yoga, tai chi, light weight lifting and water-based exercise.

MARIA AVOCONE

ARTIST SUFFERS FOR HER ART

When Christopher Zara wrote the book Tortured Artists he might have had Australian NaturalCare customer (and artist), Maria Avocone in mind. He wrote, “The idea of the tortured artist has long been debated in our culture, but to me it always seemed a self-evident truth. Art is a reflection of humanity, and humanity’s greatest virtue is its ability to overcome adversity. Why shouldn’t that same adversity inspire our greatest art?”

Maria Avocone has certainly had to deal with a great deal of adversity and pain.

When she’s not being an artist she has another creative pursuit – she runs her own mobile hairdressing business in Warburton, Victoria (about 80 km due east of Melbourne). It was probably the years of standing with arms raised and scissors continuously snipping that, over time, developed into wrist pain that prevented her from holding a brush to paint with, let alone scissors to cut with.

Strapping her wrist didn’t work and taking pain relievers gave only temporary relief.

When Maria applied for her National Seniors card, she also received a copy of 50 Something magazine. In it, she read about curcumin. Always

being one to prefer natural products, she decided to order a bottle of Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever from ANC to see if it did for her what it was apparently doing for so many others.

“Within a week of taking Curcumin AntiInflammatory Pain Reliever, I no longer needed to take extra pain relief.” Maria exclaims.

Her partner was quick to see the difference curcumin made. His occupation involved plenty of lifting and as a result, waking up with aches and pains had become just a fact of life. Not anymore.

Now, he too is onto curcumin.

So maybe Christopher Zara is right. Great art often comes from overcoming great adversity. We’re just glad that Maria can get back to doing what she loves.

GOALS TO CONSIDER IN OSTEOARTHRITIS

If you’re troubled by mild osteoarthritis, Australian NaturalCare offers an extensive range of nutritional and herbal supplements that may help relieve your symptoms. Here are the four key objectives to consider when deciding which of them to take.

1

Support cartilage health Osteoarthritis is characterised by progressively worsening damage and degradation of the cartilage that lines the joints. If you have mild osteoarthritis, one of your primary goals when it comes to supplementation is therefore to provide your body with the nutrients it needs to repair damaged cartilage, maintain the health of existing cartilage, and produce healthy new cartilage.

Start with glucosamine and chondroitin, which are used by the body to maintain and rebuild healthy cartilage. Also consider manganese, which plays a role in the production of building blocks needed for cartilage formation, and vitamin C, which is needed for the formation of healthy collagen (the major fibrous element in cartilage).

For a deeper understanding of cartilage and the critical role it plays in joint health, refer to page 28.

26

2

Inhibit inflammatory processes Although it’s an inflammatory condition, not all sufferers of mild osteoarthritis experience swelling, heat or redness of the affected joints. In many cases, the inflammatory processes involved aren’t visible to the naked eye. Nevertheless, they’re still responsible for much of the tissue damage, pain and decreased joint function associated with the condition.

The most important supplements to consider for anti-inflammatory benefits in mild osteoarthritis are curcumin and omega-3 fatty acids (like those found in fish oil). Curcumin has inhibitory effects on inflammatory mediators that may be involved in mild osteoarthritis, and the omega-3s also inhibit inflammatory compounds.

Learn more about the anti-inflammatory benefits of curcumin on page 20 and fish oil on page 32.

Rose hip may also provide pain relief for mild osteoarthritis, especially when it affects the joints of the hands.

3

Relieve pain While providing structural support and inhibiting inflammation may go a long way towards helping relieve the aches and pains of mild osteoarthritis, additional pain relief may also be beneficial for some people.

4

Improve joint mobility and flexibility Joint stiffness and impaired joint mobility are natural consequences of the inflammatory processes and degenerative changes that occur in mildly osteoarthritic joints.

Consider taking willow bark, which has analgesic properties and has been shown to help relieve mild osteoarthritis pain as well as a wide variety of other painful conditions, including low back pain, muscular aches and pains, headaches and period pain.

Addressing the three objectives outlined above often helps to improve flexibility and range of motion, and among other supplements, glucosamine, chondroitin, curcumin and fish oil may all help to improve joint mobility in mild osteoarthritis.

Rose hip may also provide pain relief for mild osteoarthritis, especially when it affects the joints of the hands.

Joint stiffness is often at its worst after periods of inactivity. For example, many sufferers find that it takes a while for their joints to ‘warm up’ and get moving when they get out of bed in the mornings. If that’s something that affects you, also consider taking ginger, which may help relieve morning stiffness in mild osteoarthritis. For more information, refer to page 31.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF CARTILAGE (AND WHY YOU SHOULD LOOK AFTER YOURS)

When you’re walking, your knee joints carry a load equivalent to more than triple your body weight.

Start traipsing downhill and the load on them becomes significantly greater again. Your ability to support these heavy loads rests on the amazing biomechanical engineering of your joints, and especially the cartilage that lines them.

Your knees, hips and other highly mobile joints are lined with articular cartilage, which provides a smooth, lubricated and friction-free surface that facilitates movement of your joints and enables them to bear weight and absorb shocks.

Cartilage has limited capacity for self-repair when it’s damaged, so keeping yours in good shape is an important way to maintain your joint health.

As you get older the hydration of the extracellular matrix declines, so your joints may become stiffer and your cartilage less able to respond to compressive forces.

Problems can also arise if the chondrocytes are unable to produce new cartilage components quickly enough to replace damaged ones. This type of imbalance is considered a contributing factor in the development of osteoarthritis.

Nutrients to support cartilage health Taking nutrients that support the functions of cartilage and its various components may help maintain your joint health. In particular: • Glucosamine

stimulates the production of new proteoglycans and thus plays a role in cushioning the joints

What’s cartilage made of?

Cartilage is composed of specialised cells called chondrocytes within an extracellular matrix containing water, collagen, and molecules called proteoglycans. Each of these has a particular function within the cartilage: • Water in the matrix lubricates the joint to reduce friction during movement and provides a cushioning effect that allows joints to absorb shocks and withstand heavy loads • Collagen helps stabilise the matrix and make cartilage strong and flexible • Proteoglycans help joints withstand compression • Chondrocytes produce new components of the matrix to replace those that have degraded or been injured

28

• Chondroitin

is present in the proteoglycans that are a structural part of cartilage and helps joints withstand compression • Manganese

is involved in the production of cartilage building blocks • Vitamin

C is needed for healthy collagen formation

1 IN 3 OLDER PEOPLE TAKE GLUCOSAMINE Research published in 2012 indicates that glucosamine is taken by around a third of those aged 60 and older in Australia, as well as about one in six people aged over 50. A more recent Australian study investigating supplement usage by middleaged women found similar usage rates, and found that the most popular reasons to take glucosamine include joint pain from mild osteoarthritis. If you’re keen to give glucosamine a try, choose a formula that provides at least 1500mg glucosamine per day, preferably as glucosamine sulfate, which is the most widely studied form of glucosamine.

FORMULA

HEALTHY JOINTS When taken as directed, Healthy Joints provides 1500mg of glucosamine sulfate per day, a dose of glucosamine that’s been shown to help reduce mild osteoarthritis pain and enhance joint flexibility, particularly in the knees.

Healthy Joints may also help reduce inflammation and swelling associated with mild osteoarthritis, and assist with pain relief, tissue repair, and functional improvements when cartilage damage is due to a sporting injury. Also contains nutritional co-factors that help maintain connective tissue and cartilage health.

TOPICAL RELIEF FOR MILD OSTEOARTHRITIS PAIN Capsicum annuum is a type of chilli pepper that may help relieve mild osteoarthritis pain when applied topically. Its effects are attributed to a compound called capsaicin, which is believed to work by dampening the signals sent from pain receptors in the affected tissues to the brain.

At the same time, the warming sensations caused by the effects of capsaicin on the skin may also help to provide pain relief for mildly osteoarthritic joints.

HEALTHY JOINTS CREAM FOR PAIN RELIEF Soothe your aching joints with Healthy Joints Cream, which combines the warming properties of capsicum (cayenne pepper) with glucosamine, which is used by the body to help protect, maintain and rebuild healthy cartilage. For temporary relief from mild ostearthritic pain, gently massage into painful joints three to four times daily. This unscented, non-greasy formula is perfect to use after a long day in the garden or whenever stiff or aching mild osteoarthritic joints need some tender loving care.

GLUCOSAMINE’S ROLE IN THE STAGES OF OSTEOARTHRITIS Osteoarthritis is a condition that develops over multiple years, with a number of different physiological changes occurring at various points in the disease process.

An article published in the International Journal of Experimental Pathology in 2017 proposed that therapeutic interventions for osteoarthritis may also need to vary, depending on how far it has progressed.

The graphic below, adapted from this research, outlines the progression of osteoarthritis and suggests therapeutic goals to consider, depending on where your personal joint health is currently situated.

Severe osteoarthritis should always be treated by your healthcare professional, but for those whose condition is mild or in its early stages, glucosamine may have a number of benefits.

STAGES OF OSTEOARTHRITIS DEVELOPMENT AND PROPOSED OBJECTIVES OF THERAPY OSTEOARTHRITIS STAGE Start of osteoarthritic changes

PROGRESSION Early/mild osteoarthritis

Late/severe osteoarthritis

THERAPEUTIC GOALS Maintain joint health

Glucosamine for healthy joints and early/mild osteoarthritic changes Glucosamine supports the joints’ shock-absorbing capacity and supplies building blocks that stimulate the production and repair of cartilage, so it may be beneficial for people with healthy joints and those with early indications of osteoarthritic change (such as mild joint stiffness).

Addressing joint health at these early stages may be especially important for people at increased risk of developing osteoarthritis due to having subjected their joints to heavy loads or high impacts during work or sporting activities. (High impact activities and past injuries may accelerate joint wear-and-tear, leaving them prone to developing cartilage defects, which may later progress into osteoarthritic changes).

Glucosamine for mild osteoarthritis symptoms and joint mobility Glucosamine’s effects on cartilage formation and repair continue to be relevant for joints that have developed mild osteoarthritis. For example, its benefits for the joint structure may include helping to slow down the narrowing of the space between the bones of a joint that typically occurs as osteoarthritis progresses.

In addition, glucosamine sulfate has been shown to help to relieve mild osteoarthritis symptoms including joint pain, swelling and inflammation.

Importantly for those whose joints have progressed to this stage, glucosamine may also help enhance the flexibility and mobility of mildly osteoarthritic joints – a vital consideration if you’re keen to stay active as you get older.

VEGETARIAN OPTIONS FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS If you suffer from mild osteoarthritis and are also vegetarian or vegan, you might be frustrated that so many popular joint health products are derived from animal sources. Consider these vegetarian-friendly options instead.

investigating the effects of ginger on mild osteoarthritis. Statistical analysis revealed that ginger had superior benefits to placebo in all five studies, and significant benefits for the relief of pain and reduced joint function.

Vegetarian glucosamine now available Most sources of glucosamine are derived from crustaceans, but a vegetarian alternative with an identical molecular structure is now available too!

Produced by a patented process involving the bacterial fermentation of a plant-based material, it’s used by the body in the same way as regular glucosamine to help relieve mild osteoarthritis symptoms such as pain and restricted joint mobility, and may help protect joint cartilage against damage.

Ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties and may help relieve the muscular discomfort and morning joint stiffness associated with mild osteoarthritis.

GLUCOSAMINE 1500 ONE-A-DAY HEALTHY JOINTS Glucosamine 1500 is a high-potency formula providing your daily glucosamine sulfate needs in a single convenient tablet.

In mild osteoarthritis, taking 1500mg of glucosamine sulfate per day has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation, and enhance joint flexibility, particularly in the knees. Glucosamine helps regenerate cartilage by providing compounds called proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (which are building blocks required for cartilage formation), stimulates cartilage cell activity, and supports cartilage’s cushioning effect on the joints. Results may take four to six weeks to become apparent.

Vegetarian Glucosamine PLUS combines the joint-and cartilage-protecting benefits of glucosamine with the analgesic and anti-inflammatory herbs boswellia and ginger. It also contains vitamin C, which is essential for maintaining bone, joint and cartilage health. Vegetarian Glucosamine PLUS may help relieve the symptoms of mild osteoarthritis (including pain, swelling, tenderness and restricted movement of the joints, muscle discomfort, and morning stiffness). When taken long-term, it may also inhibit some of the degenerative changes that can occur in mild osteoarthritis.

Vegetarian Glucosamine PLUS is suitable for vegetarians, vegans and people allergic to seafood.

HOW DOES FISH OIL WORK IN OSTEOARTHRITIS? Fish oil is one of Australia’s most popular supplements for mild osteoarthritis - so how does it work?

Omega-3s and inflammation The oils in your diet provide essential fatty acids, which in turn are precursors of compounds called prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that regulate many cellular functions.

Some prostaglandins have inflammatory effects, while others are anti-inflammatory, and the balance of different classes of essential fatty acids in your diet affects the type of prostaglandins that are predominant in your body.

The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil – especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) – inhibit inflammation by displacing the omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid (which has pro-inflammatory effects) in the prostaglandin pathway.

Therapeutic effects of omega-3s By downgrading inflammatory processes in this way, omega-3s from fish oil may benefit mild osteoarthritis in numerous ways, including helping to:

• • • •

Manage pain Reduce joint inflammation Relieve joint swelling Improve joint mobility

Why take fish oil and glucosamine together?

Fish oil works by helping to manage the inflammatory aspects of mild osteoarthritis, but since the condition also involves wear-and-tear damage to the cartilage and associated tissues, glucosamine may be beneficial too.

It provides the nutritional building blocks required to build new cartilage cells and helps maintain the joints’ ability to absorb shocks. Over time, taking glucosamine may help maintain healthy joint cartilage and provide further relief from mild osteoarthritic symptoms like pain and joint stiffness.

GLUCOSAMINE PLUS FISH OIL Glucosamine Plus Fish Oil combines the joint and cartilage benefits of glucosamine sulfate with the anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids to aid in the temporary relief of mild osteoarthritis symptoms. It’s been shown that 1500mg of glucosamine sulfate per day provides temporary relief from mild osteoarthritis pain, reduces the associated inflammation, and enhances joint flexibility. The antiinflammatory omega-3 fats EPA and DHA may help reduce joint inflammation and increase joint mobility in mild osteoarthritis.

RELIEF FOR ACHING HANDS Do you have osteoarthritic joints in your hands?

Osteoarthritis in your hand can interfere with your ability to perform tasks involving the use of your fingers and/or thumbs. For example, it may impede your grip strength, make it more difficult to perform simple tasks like writing or turning off a tap, or reduce your ability to lift heavy items.

Who gets osteoarthritis of the hand?

People who’ve used their hands repeatedly during their work (for example typing, writing or operating machinery) are more likely to later experience osteoarthritis in one or more joints in the hand. Other risk factors include having previously experienced an injury to a specific joint, the presence of skeletal misalignments, or having a family history of the condition.

Rose hip relieves osteoarthritic hands Taking rose hip may help improve mild osteoarthritic symptoms in the hands, including helping to relieve pain and improve joint mobility in the affected regions.

These effects are considered at least partially due to compounds called galactolipids, however, given that galactolipids are present in only small quantities in rose hip, other components of the plant may also contribute to its effects.

Leung, G.J. et al. J Pharm Pharmacol, 2014;66(3):339-346.

Schwager, J. et al. BMC Complement Altern Med, 2011;11105.

Women are more likely to develop osteoarthritis of the hand than men, with the risk increasing after the age of 55.

ROSE HIP 2.5G

CALCIUM FOR HEALTHY BONES

Suffering from stiff, aching fingers and other joints? Rose Hip 2.5g may assist in the management of mild osteoarthritis pain and help improve the mobility of mildly osteoarthritic joints.

It may be particularly beneficial for mild osteoarthritis in the joints of the hand, which may impair your ability to perform some of the tasks of daily living or interfere with your enjoyment of activities that involve fine hand movements, such as knitting or playing the piano. Rose Hip’s benefits in mild osteoarthritis are believed to be due to the presence of compounds called galactolipids.

BUILD BETTER

BONE DENSITY We tend to think of our bones as being solid, but they’re actually comprised of a hard shell and a spongy inner matrix, the density of which tends to decline as we get older.

Bones with a dense matrix are strong and flexible, and are able to bear weight and absorb knocks and other impacts.

However, if their density declines, bones may become more fragile and brittle, and more inclined to fracture, as can occur in osteoporosis.

There are three key nutrients to consider when you’re thinking about bone density.

Calcium strengthens the skeletal structure Calcium is central to the structural integrity of the bone matrix and maintains bone density and the strength of the skeletal structure.

Unfortunately though, many people in Australia don’t consume the recommended amount of calcium in our diets, and a diet low in calcium may increase osteoporosis risk in later life.

Vitamin D3 reduces falls and fractures Vitamin D levels are also often inadequate in Australian men and women. This important nutrient regulates your calcium levels and enhances the absorption of calcium while also minimising its excretion.

Importantly, vitamin D also aids muscle strength, and in older people, low levels are associated with muscle weakness and an increased risk of falls and fractures.

Vitamin K2 helps maintain bone density Finally, vitamin K aids in bone formation, strength, and repair, working in part by activating osteocalcin, a protein that enables the bonding of calcium to bone.

34

Vitamin K is best taken in the form of vitamin K2 (MenaQ7®).

In a clinical trial, this well-absorbed form of vitamin K was shown to significantly decrease age-related declines in bone mineral content and bone mineral density (as measured at the lumbar spine and the head of the femoral bone) in women who took it for three years.

Knappen MH, et al. Osteoporosis Int. 2007;18(7):963–72

CALCIUM + VITAMIN D3 & K2 Calcium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 are essential bone-building nutrients.

Calcium is vital for bone formation, density and strength. This formula contains calcium citrate, which may be particularly useful for helping to inhibit bone loss and stabilise bone density. Vitamin D3 helps maintain the body’s calcium stores, helps maintain strong healthy bones and muscles, and decreases older people’s risk of falls and fractures. Vitamin K2 helps regulate calcium levels in the body, and may help reduce bone loss and age-related bone density decline in post-menopausal women.

FOR HEART By activating Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), VITAMIN K2 as MenaQ7® helps to maintain cardiovascular health and the elasticity and flexibility of the blood vessels by KEEPING CALCIUM IN THE BONES AND NOT IN THE ARTERIES.

HEALTHY ARTERIES are flexible and elastic, enabling NORMAL BLOOD FLOW.

Calcium deposits may lead to stiffening of the arteries. Without normal contraction and expansion (dilatation), normal, HEALTHY BLOOD FLOW MAY BE IMPEDED.

Vitamin K2 helps regulate calcium status and bind calcium to the skeleton, and consequently is important for bone mineralisation and the development and maintenance of strong, healthy bones. When taken long-term, it may decrease the age-related decline in bone mineral density and bone strength that often affects women. For example, a clinical trial found that taking vitamin K2 for three years significantly slowed women’s age-related declines in bone mineral content and bone mineral density in the hip and lower spine. This high-strength, one-a-day formula contains vitamin K as vitamin K2 or MenaQ7®, which is more readily absorbed and used by the body than vitamin K1, and stays in the body longer.

Who’s missing out on magnesium?

Research from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) indicates that significant numbers of people in Australia don’t consume the recommended amounts of magnesium in their diets.

As the table below demonstrates, inadequate magnesium intake affects people of all ages in Australia, from teenagers onwards. Teens are particularly likely to have magnesium-deficient diets, as are people aged 71 and older.

Magnesium for muscle function Muscles work by contracting and relaxing in a coordinated fashion, and magnesium is required in order for that to occur. If there’s not enough available, the results may include muscle cramps, spasms and/or weakness.

On the other hand, taking a magnesium supplement may help soothe muscle pain and help relieve cramps and spasms.

Magnesium for muscle energy Magnesium is required for the production of a compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which provides the energy for almost all of the body’s metabolic processes, and is particularly important for tissues with high energy demands – like exercising muscles.

36

Magnesium for heart health The heart is a hard-working muscle that’s contracting and relaxing on a regular basis and requires a steady supply of ATP to fuel its activity, so unsurprisingly, it needs magnesium to function properly too. Magnesium has specific actions on the heart muscle, the co-ordination of activity between the muscles of the heart and the nerves, and the functioning of the blood vessels.

Magnesium and bone health Magnesium plays an important role in the formation of healthy bones, supporting their strength and helping to maintain bone mineral density. Magnesium also regulates calcium absorption, providing additional skeletal benefits.

CRAMP RELIEF FROM THE NATIVE AMERICANS

ADVANCED CRAMP RELIEF WITH MAGNESIUM

As its name suggests, cramp bark has traditionally been used to help relieve cramps, regardless of whether they affect skeletal muscle (muscles attached to your skeleton that you’re able to move voluntarily, such as your calves) or smooth muscle (those that work without you needing to consciously activate them, like those in your digestive system).

Among other uses, this traditional Native American remedy may be beneficial for muscle cramps, stomach cramps and period pain.

FORMULA

FISH & KRILL OIL

4 IN 5 AUSTRALIANS

LOW IN OMEGA-3S Data from the most recent National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey reveals that 80% of Australian adults consume omega-3 fats in less than optimal quantities.

For optimal health, the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) recommends that adult women consume 430mg of omega-3s per day, and that men consume 610mg.

Actual consumption of omega-3s falls short of these targets, especially among those who don’t take supplements, 90% of whom have suboptimal intake.

Even among people who do take omega-3 supplements, one in two people still falls short of the suggested dietary targets.

The survey data also shows that in any given week, the average woman consumes 4.5 times more meat and poultry than seafood, and the average man consumes 6 times as much.

This dietary pattern is concerning, because it shifts the balance of fatty acids in the body away from the beneficial, anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats, and instead towards fats that have proinflammatory tendencies.

Taking fish oil supplements helps even up the balance and helps to maintain heart and cardiovascular health, including helping to maintain healthy triglyceride levels in healthy individuals. It may also help to reduce the pain, swelling and inflammation of mild osteoarthritis.

In particular, pregnant women and those planning to conceive should strongly consider taking supplements containing the omega-3 fatty acid DHA. Fewer than 10% of Australian women of childbearing age consume DHA in optimal quantities (200mg/day), despite the fact that it is vital for the normal healthy development of the brain, nervous system and retina of the unborn child and growing infant.

Meyer BJ. Nutrients 2016;8:111

FISH OIL 1000MG Fish Oil 1000mg is a rich source of the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, which help maintain heart health, support healthy triglyceride levels in healthy individuals and assist peripheral circulation.

Omega-3s may also temporarily relieve mild osteoarthritis pain and inflammation, and improve joint mobility. DHA is particularly important during pregnancy and infancy, when it is involved in the healthy development of the baby’s brain, nervous system and eyes.

FISH & KRILL OIL

5 REASONS

TO TAKE KRILL OIL Krill are tiny prawn-like crustaceans found most prevalently in the Atlantic Ocean. Here are five reasons to consider adding krill oil to your daily supplement regime.

1

Easily absorbed omega-3s Despite their small size, krill are emerging as an important source of omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3s in krill oil are predominantly bound to compounds called phospholipids, whereas those found in fish oil and other sources of omega-3 are predominantly attached to triglycerides.

Phospholipids form the membranes that surround every cell in your body, and it appears that this structure enables omega-3s from krill oil to be absorbed and utilised by the body more efficiently than omega-3s from other sources.

2

Helps manage PMS symptoms If you suffer from premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual tension (PMT), you’ll be interested to know that krill oil helps manage both the physical and emotional symptoms, ranging from joint pain all the way through to irritability, stress and moodiness.

3

Relieves period pain and breast tenderness Although many women experience both conditions, PMS and period pain (also known as dysmenorrhoea) are not the same thing, and don’t always respond to the same therapies.

Krill oil has been shown to help relieve period pain and menstrual cramps, and may also help manage premenstrual tenderness of the breasts.

4

Brain and eye health As a valuable source of the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)

40

and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), krill oil helps maintain healthy functioning of the brain and eyes.

5

Contains astaxanthin – a potent antioxidant Krill have a pinkish-orange hue, similar to the familiar colour of salmon, prawns and lobsters. It’s due to the presence of a carotenoid called astaxanthin, which is a potent antioxidant found alongside the omega-3s in krill oil supplements.

KRILL OIL 500MG Krill Oil 500mg is a valuable source of the omega-3s EPA and DHA, which help maintain normal brain and eye function and may help manage a wide range of premenstrual symptoms including period pain, breast tenderness, joint pain, irritability, stress and moodiness.

The omega-3s in Krill Oil 500mg have a different chemical structure to those found in fish oils, and consequently may be more readily absorbed. Krill Oil 500mg is also a natural source of astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant.

HOW MUCH FISH OIL DO YOU NEED? There are many reasons to take fish oil.

The omega-3 fats it contains support the health of your heart, brain and peripheral circulation, and may help relieve joint pain and other mild osteoarthritis symptoms. However, be aware that in some circumstances, quite high doses need to be taken for optimal benefit. Up to 6 grams of regular fish oil per day is recommended for heart health, and up to 12 grams per day for mild osteoarthritis relief or to help healthy people maintain healthy triglyceride levels. If that’s too many capsules for you to cope with, Super-Strength Fish Oil is the perfect solution, allowing you to halve your daily capsule consumption without compromising your intake of those allimportant omega-3s.

SUPER STRENGTH FISH OIL Love fish oil but hate swallowing capsules? Super Strength Fish Oil packs almost twice as much EPA and DHA into each capsule as regular fish oil – so you can take half as many and still enjoy the benefits! Super Strength Fish Oil may temporarily relieve mild osteoarthritis pain and inflammation, help maintain heart health, and aid peripheral circulation.

DHA FOR BETTER BRAIN HEALTH

CALAMARI OIL 1000

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that’s essential for brain, eye and nervous system health. Low levels of it may be linked to poor memory function, but on the other hand, older people who consume high quantities of DHA appear to have better cognitive function than those who don’t.

Calamari oil contains a much higher proportion of DHA than fish and krill oil, making it an ideal choice for those looking to maintain their brain health – especially as they get older.

IMMUNE SUPPORT WITH BONE HEALTH BENEFITS Cod liver oil is usually thought of as an immune supplement, and its natural content of vitamin A is especially important in that regard. However, did you know that it also provides nutritional support for healthy bones? That’s because cod liver oil is also a source of vitamin D. In addition to supporting healthy immune function, vitamin D enhances the uptake of calcium, and as you may be aware, a diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life.

Each capsule of Calamari Oil 1000 contains a whopping 400mg of DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid vital to healthy brain function. In older people, high DHA intakes may help maintain memory and cognitive functioning, while in unborn babies and growing infants, it’s essential for healthy brain, eye and nervous system development. Calamari Oil 1000 also supports heart health and peripheral circulation, and helps healthy people maintain normal triglyceride levels.

It helps provide temporary relief from mild osteoarthritic pain, and helps reduce joint inflammation and swelling.

BRAIN & MEMORY HEALTH

MAINTAIN

YOUR BRAIN POWER Is your brain power getting less sharp as you get older? Such changes in cognitive functioning are regarded as a regular part of ageing. Read on to learn more about them and discover ways to help maintain your brain health in your senior years.

How does cognitive function change with age?

Age-related changes in cognition tend to be mild, and to affect specific aspects of brain function.

For example: • Memory changes may include needing to write things down so you can remember them, or having difficulty recalling the source of known information • Mental processing speed may slow down

• It may become more difficult to concentrate or pay attention, especially when performing tasks that involve focusing on several things at once (e.g. having a conversation while driving)

• Mental flexibility may decline, making it more difficult to change your habits or your responses to certain triggers Stay active – physically, mentally and socially Having a physically, mentally and socially active lifestyle may help fend off age-associated declines in cognitive function, so try to find time to:

• Engage in intellectually stimulating activities like doing crossword puzzles or taking courses that help you learn new skills

• Exercise regularly, prioritising aerobic activities (like dancing or brisk walking)

44

• Maintain an active social life, regularly spending time with friends and family or participating in cultural events Ginkgo for the ageing brain Research suggests that taking ginkgo may also help maintain healthy functioning of the ageing brain and improve cognitive function in older people.

Among other actions, it may help improve aspects of memory, concentration, attention span, alertness and cognitive performance.

Increase your intake of DHA Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that’s a major structural component of the brain. It’s needed for healthy brain function throughout life and may play a role in learning and memory. Having high levels of DHA in your diet may be particularly important for older people and has been associated with better cognitive function in old age. On the other hand, low levels may be linked to poor memory function. To increase your DHA intake, add more oily fish to your diet, or consider taking Calamari Oil. Refer to page 42 for more information.

When should you seek professional advice?

Most age-related cognitive changes are mild and don’t interfere with your ability to perform daily activities. However, if you’re experiencing more significant problems or are having difficulty managing day-to-day tasks, it’s important to talk to your health care professional.

BACOPA BOOSTS BRAIN POWER

BRAIN & MEMORY BOOST

Also known as brahmi, bacopa has been used since around 800 BC in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, where it is highly prized as a brain and memory tonic. Clinical studies support its memory-enhancing properties. For example, in a study involving healthy people aged 65 or older, taking bacopa for 12 weeks led to improvements in mental processing speed the (the time taken to react to certain stimuli) and the ability to recall information. These effects are thought to occur because bacopa increases certain enzyme systems in the brain, generating the production of new proteins.

FORMULA

Support your brain power with Brain & Memory Boost, which enhances mental alertness and concentration, improves information processing and retention, and helps relieve nervous tension, stress and mild anxiety. It combines the herbs ginkgo and bacopa with nutrients that support cognitive functioning, and is suitable for students, professionals, older people and anyone needing to quickly retain large amounts of information or alleviate nervous tension and mild anxiety during stressful learning events such as exams.

Best taken over periods of at least three weeks.

BUILDING

HEALTHY BLOOD Healthy blood is essential to wellbeing and requires ample quantities of certain nutrients.

Read on to learn more.

Your blood consists of three major cell types: platelets, which are required for coagulation; white blood cells, which play important roles in immune health; and red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all the tissues that require it.

Of these, red blood cells are the most common.

Adults have 20 to 30 trillion of them circulating at any given time, but each only has a lifespan of around four months, so they need to be produced continuously in order to replace those that have worn out.

Iron and red blood cells Red blood cells contain haemoglobin, an ironcontaining molecule that binds to oxygen and enables it to be delivered to wherever it’s needed.

Iron is also required for energy production, and low iron levels may lead to fatigue.

In addition, it’s required for immune health, cognitive function and the muscular storage of oxygen in the form of myoglobin (which provides energy to working muscles).

46

Who needs extra iron and what form should you take?

Pregnant and menstruating women require more iron than other people, and the elderly also have increased iron needs. Additional iron may also be beneficial for vegetarians and vegans as their iron intake is often low.

At Australian NaturalCare, we choose to use iron glycinate (also known as iron bisglycinate or iron (II) glycinate), a highly bioavailable form of iron that’s gentle on the stomach.

For optimal utilisation, take it alongside vitamin C (which aids the absorption and bioavailability of iron from the digestive tract) and B-group vitamins, especially vitamin B12 and folic acid, which are discussed below.

Vitamin B12 for healthy blood Like iron, vitamin B12 is essential for the maintenance of normal blood, the production of healthy red blood cells, and the cellular production of energy.

It also helps maintain healthy cognitive, nervous system and immune function, and is required for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Who needs more vitamin B12 and what forms are available?

Older people and strict vegetarians and vegans are at increased risk of vitamin B12 deficiency.

The two main types of vitamin B12 found in supplements are cyanocobalamin and mecobalamin.

Of the two, cyanocobalamin is the more economical form, and is suitable for use in most circumstances.

However, consider taking mecobalamin if you need extra vitamin B12 because you’re vegetarian, vegan, getting older, or have been diagnosed with low vitamin B12 levels. Unlike cyanocobalamin, it’s an activated form of vitamin B12 and doesn’t need to undergo biological transformation before being available for the body to use.

Don’t forget folic acid Folic acid is also important for building healthy blood and is considered especially critical for pregnant women and those in their childbearing years, many of whom don’t obtain the recommended quantities from their diets.

ACTIVATED B12 1000MCG Vitamin B12 is involved in the formation of healthy red blood cells and supports energy production, cognitive function, and the healthy functioning of the cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems.

Australian NaturalCare’s Activated B12 contains mecobalamin, the form of vitamin B12 that’s active in the body. In addition to helping to reduce fatigue and maintain healthy blood, Activated B12 may be beneficial for people at increased risk of vitamin B12 deficiency, such as older people and strict vegetarians and vegans.

WHO’S AT RISK OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY?

When it comes to vitamin D, some people are more at risk of deficiency than others. If you’re one of them, you need to be extremely proactive about getting enough of this important nutrient, which enhances calcium absorption, helps build strong healthy bones and helps maintain muscle strength.

Since we get it from the sun, you’d be forgiven for assuming that it was easy to get enough vitamin D simply by living in Australia. However, huge numbers of Aussies are vitamin D-deficient (see Alarming statistics: Vitamin D deficiency, below).

Who’s most at risk?

• People living in the southern parts of the country, including Victoria, Tasmania, the ACT, and southern New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia • People over 60 years old, because your skin’s ability to produce vitamin D halves as you age, and your kidneys’ ability to metabolise it declines as well

ALARMING STATISTICS: VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY Around one in four Australians is deficient in vitamin D. These statistics are concerning enough, but become even more alarming when you dig a bit deeper and learn that during the winter months, half of the population of Victoria and the ACT become vitamin D deficient, along with more than 40% of Tasmanians. The scariest part of all? These figures are based on the current Australian guidelines, which estimate an adequate blood level of vitamin D to be 50 nanomoles/Litre (nmol/L) or higher.

However, some vitamin D experts believe that double or even triple that amount (100150 nmol/L) is required for optimal health.

• People living in nursing homes or other health institutions, who spend extremely limited amounts of time outdoors • People who always cover up for cultural or religious reasons or to avoid sunburn and UV exposure, and who rarely (if ever) expose more than tiny portions of their skin to the sun • People with naturally dark skin, whose skin produces less vitamin D than that of fair-skinned people • People who are overweight, whose vitamin D stores may get trapped in fatty tissue How much vitamin D do you need?

A daily supplement containing 1000 IU of vitamin D3 is appropriate for most people; however, speak to your healthcare professional regarding the right dose for you.

Note: Be sure to choose a supplement containing vitamin D3, which is the natural form of vitamin D, identical to that made by the body.

VITAMIN D3 1000 IU Despite our sunny climate, many people living in Australia have low levels of vitamin D. This important nutrient aids calcium absorption, helps maintain and build healthy bones, and is required for the maintenance of muscle strength. In older people, Vitamin D3 1000 IU may help decrease the risk of falls and fractures. Also assists healthy functioning of the immune system. Contains vitamin D3 (colecalciferol), a natural form of vitamin D identical to that made by the body.

VITAMIN K2 180MCG

ZINC PLUS

Vitamin K2 180mcg supports cardiovascular health. It helps keep blood vessel walls flexible and elastic and is required for normal healthy blood coagulation. It also helps regulate calcium status and activates osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bones and aids their formation, strength, repair and bone mineral density. When taken long term, vitamin K2 may significantly reduce age-related declines in women’s bone mineral density and strength.

Australian NaturalCare Vitamin K2 180mcg contains vitamin K2 as MenaQ7®, which is better absorbed and retained by the body than vitamin K1.

Zinc Plus assists skin healing and helps maintain healthy skin and oil gland function, so it may be beneficial for minor skin conditions, such as acne, mild burns and superficial wounds.

Zinc also has potent antioxidant properties and plays a key role in healthy immune function, supporting the body in fighting mild infections.

It’s especially important for men’s reproductive health, including helping to maintain healthy male physiology in mature men. Older people and vegetarians have increased zinc requirements and may benefit from taking Zinc Plus. Includes nutritional co-factors to enhance zinc absorption and utilisation.

MAGNESIUM CHELATE 1000MG

Migraine affects around 12% of the population. Sufferers tend to have lower levels of magnesium than other people, and it’s hypothesised that this may contribute to the onset of migraine attacks.

In a study published in 2016, researchers pooled the data from 11 clinical studies investigating the role of magnesium supplementation in migraine, involving a total of 789 migraine sufferers. Analysis of the data showed that magnesium helped reduce both the frequency and intensity of migraine episodes.

WHAT IS QI?

KOREAN GINSENG 500MG SUPER STRENGTH

Qi (which is pronounced ‘chee’ as in ‘cheese’) is a concept at the heart of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), where it’s viewed as a life force that’s implicated in all aspects of health and wellbeing, including providing the energy that enables the body, mind, tissues and organs to function.

Korean Ginseng is considered one of the most important Qi tonics in traditional Chinese medicine, and is widely taken to help maintain vitality and stamina.

Need more energy and vitality?

Korean ginseng is the most highly valued herb in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is used to enhance and support the Qi (the energy we need to function on a daily basis) and is particularly prized as a revitalising tonic for older people. In Western herbal medicine, Korean ginseng is regarded as an adaptogen – one of a group of herbs that enhance the body’s ability to cope with physical and mental stress.

WHY TAKE A B-COMPLEX? THE B-GROUP VITAMINS WORK CLOSELY TOGETHER IN THE BODY, FUNCTIONING AS COENZYMES IN NUMEROUS METABOLIC PROCESSES, THE MOST IMPORTANT OF WHICH ARE SUMMARISED BELOW.

NERVOUS SYSTEM FUNCTION

B vitamins are involved in many aspects of nervous system health, including the structure and function of the nerves themselves, and the activity of major stress-busting adrenal hormones and mood-balancing neurotransmitters.

Your body’s requirements for B vitamins may therefore escalate when your physical or mental stress levels are high.

MAINTAINING HEALTHY BLOOD Vitamin B12 and folic acid are essential for the maintenance of healthy blood. They also work with vitamins B2 and B6 in the regulation of the amino acid homocysteine, high levels of which are associated with increased risk of poor cardiovascular health.

ENERGY PRODUCTION

The body’s processes for converting food into energy require B-group vitamins.

DIGESTION OF FATS AND CARBOHYDRATES B vitamins are needed for the metabolism of carbohydrates and emulsification of fats.

SUPER B 50 Stressed? Need more energy? Super B 50 provides nutritional support for the nervous system during times of physical and mental stress and contains high doses of the B-group vitamins required by the body for the conversion of food into energy. Super B 50 also aids digestion (including the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates) and can assist in maintaining healthy blood. Also contains vitamin C, which may be beneficial during times of increased stress.

NEED TOPPING UP REGULARLY Since they’re water-soluble, the B-group vitamins aren’t stored in the body, but instead are excreted in the urine. They need to be topped up on a daily basis, especially at times when the body’s demand for them is high, which may occur during times of stress.

ALPHA LIPOIC ACID 200MG

CHROMIUM 200MCG Chromium is an essential trace mineral that’s required for the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates (sugars).

It’s incorporated into a molecule called glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which enables sugars (along with fatty acids, and proteins) to be carried from the blood into the cells more easily, so they can be used as an energy source. By facilitating this movement of sugars (glucose) from the blood into the cells, chromium plays a valuable role in helping to maintain general health and wellbeing.

Alpha lipoic acid may help healthy people maintain normal healthy blood sugar levels. It supports glucose metabolism and is involved in the cellular uptake of glucose and the conversion of carbohydrates into energy. In addition, it is a potent antioxidant that supports healthy ageing, helps maintain cardiovascular health and helps protect LDLcholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol) from oxidation. Unlike other antioxidants, alpha lipoic acid helps neutralise free radicals in both watery and fatty environments within the body.

SELENIUM 150MCG

Want glowing skin, healthy hair and strong nails? Hair Skin & Nails Nutrition includes biotin to help maintain strong nails; zinc to help maintain skin elasticity; and antioxidants such as vitamin C to protect your skin from free radical damage – along with a broad range of other nutrients to support hair, skin and nail health. Also contains horsetail (a natural source of silica, which is important for hair health) and ginkgo to enhance circulation to the skin and scalp.

Selenium is essential for healthy thyroid and immune system function, and helps maintain tissue elasticity. It is also required for the production of testosterone, and the healthy development and motility (mobility) of the sperm. Studies show that around one in 10 people in Australia over 71 years don’t obtain the estimated requirements of selenium from their diets, which may lead to suboptimal activity levels of antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase. Contains selenomethionine, a highly bioavailable form of selenium that’s more readily absorbed than some other forms of selenium.

NUTRITIONAL NEEDS OF WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA Is your diet as nutritious as it should be?

Research shows that many women in Australia are missing out on certain nutrients.

Not enough fresh produce and too many treats In a nutshell, the average woman in Australia skimps on the good stuff like fresh produce, but over indulges in treats.

Only around one in 20 women in Australia aged 19 to 58 eat the recommended five daily servings of vegetables, and only half of 19 to 30-year-olds bite into any fruit whatsoever on any given day.

Most find room in their diets for treats though, averaging 2.5 serves a day of sugary and fatty foods, alcohol or soft drinks.

The resulting nutritional issues may be exacerbated if you avoid certain foods or food groups for health or ethical reasons.

Which nutrients are most likely to be low in your diet?

• B-group vitamins, including vitamin B1 (up to 16% of women in Australia consume inadequate amounts) and vitamin B6 (more than a third of women and teens aged 14 to 50 have low dietary intakes) • Iron is consumed in inadequate amounts by around 40% of 14 to 50-year-old females, who need it to replace losses in their monthly periods. (For more information on iron, refer to the article on page 46) • Folic acid (which when taken daily for at least a month before conception and during pregnancy may reduce your risk of having a child with birth defects such as spina bifida) is deficient in the diets of around one in 10 women

54

• Antioxidants, which are largely obtained from fresh fruit and vegetables (including the betacarotene that’s converted to vitamin A in the body) Vitamins can’t replace a nutritious diet, but if you’re concerned yours isn’t as virtuous as it could be, consider taking a multivitamin specially formulated to support women’s energy and vitality and help you function at your best.

IMPROVING MEN’S EATING HABITS Research by the CSIRO and Australian Bureau of Statistics reveals that the typical male diet in Australia is pretty poor. How does yours stack up?

Nutritional issues in men’s diets A whopping 95% of men in Australia eat fewer than the five to six servings of vegetables they’re recommended to consume every day.

Similarly, more than one in two men fall short of the two recommended serves of fruit each day, and many don’t eat any fruit at all from one day to the next.

In comparison, men’s intake of unhealthy options like alcohol, soft drinks, takeaway meals, and sugary, fatty, or salty snacks, is high, averaging around 3.4 serves per day.

The nutritional imbalances resulting from these eating patterns may be exacerbated by factors that deplete nutrients from the body – like stress, alcohol and smoking.

If you’re concerned your diet is not up to scratch, it’s time to dive into the fresh fruit and veggies, and step away from food and drink options that are low in nutritional value. At the same time, you might like to consider taking a multivitamin supplement, making sure it contains the following important ingredients.

Antioxidants to offset free radical damage A diet low in fruit and vegetables may also be low in antioxidants, which are needed to neutralise free radical activity generated by stress, exposure to pollution, the metabolic effects of exercise and other factors.

Your multivitamin should contain the antioxidants vitamin C, betacarotene, zinc, selenium, and lastly lycopene - considered especially important for men’s health.

Nutrients to support men’s reproductive health In addition to their antioxidant actions, zinc and selenium are needed for men’s reproductive health and the production of healthy sperm.

Selenium also supports sperms’ movement.

Vitamin D3 works with zinc to support prostate health. A surprising number of men in Australia have low levels of this important nutrient - refer to page 65 for more information.

Lycopene concentrates in the prostate gland, and also contributes to its health.

Other nutrients men need A men’s multivitamin should also provide vitamin B12 and manganese (needed for immune function), chromium (involved in healthy glucose metabolism) and B-group vitamins (required for converting food into energy).

WHY SHOULD SENIORS

TAKE A MULTI? The older you get, the more important it becomes to look after your health and wellbeing – so consider taking a multivitamin that’s specially formulated for seniors’ health and wellbeing.

What causes poor nutritional status in seniors?

Many of our nutritional needs increase as we get older, but the quality of our diets often declines at the same time (sometimes due to a declining appetite or reduced interest in meal preparation).

Decreased stomach acid production can also have adverse effects on older people’s nutritional status as it may inhibit absorption of nutrients such as vitamin B12, calcium, iron, and folate.

Nutrients for heart health Folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 are required for cardiovascular health. Additionally, low levels of them are associated with increased presence of a compound called homocysteine, which is a biological marker of inflammation.

B vitamins for energy and nervous system function B-group vitamins are involved in many metabolic processes and provide nutritional support for the healthy functioning of the nervous system (so may be beneficial during times of increased stress).

56

Deficiencies of the following B-group vitamins are particularly common in the diets of older Australians: - Vitamin B1, which is essential for nervous system, muscle and heart function. Research from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) suggests that one in five women over 51 years old consume inadequate amounts.

- Vitamin B2, which is required in greater quantities by older people, around one in five of whom don’t consume the recommended amounts. It supports antioxidant activity, is important for red blood cell and adrenaline production, and helps maintain the integrity of the mucous membranes, skin, eyes and nervous system.

- Vitamin B6, which is needed for maintaining proper hormone balance and immune function, and for the formation of proteins, red blood cells, and neurotransmitters (messenger chemicals).

Almost 40% of Australian men in their 50s and 60s, and more than 56% of those in their 70s and older consume inadequate quantities. These dietary shortfalls are even more prevalent in women; 58% of those in their 50s and 60s have low intake, along with 72% of older ladies.

Zinc supports older people’s immune health When dietary intake of zinc is low, seniors may become increasingly susceptible to mild respiratory infections. Older Australian men are particularly likely to have diets deficient in zinc; more than half of those aged 51 to 70 and more than two-thirds of those aged 71 and older don’t consume the recommended amounts.

Don’t forget your omega-3s The omega-3 fatty acids are involved in many physiological processes that are relevant to ageing - including helping to maintain heart and joint health – but research indicates that only around one in 10 Australians get the quantities recommended for optimal health unless they’re taking an omega-3 supplement. The Heart Foundation recommends eating 2-3 serves of fish a week, but if that’s not possible for you, supplementation might be a good option.

There are two common ways for vitamin A to be taken in supplements: either as vitamin A itself (as found in Super-Strength Horseradish Garlic A & C, see page 61, and Super Strength Cod Liver Oil, see page 42), or as beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body as needed (as found in Echinacea 2000 Plus Andrographis, see page 61).

SUPER-STRENGTH HORSERADISH GARLIC A & C

SUFFERING FROM HAYFEVER OR MILD SINUSITIS? Data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) suggests that as many as 3.2 million people in Australia suffer from hayfever and 1.8 million experience mild sinusitis. Of those, approximately 800,000 people are unlucky enough to be plagued by both conditions. If you’re affected, consider taking horseradish, which has traditionally been used in Western herbal medicine to relieve hayfever, mild sinusitis and other mild respiratory conditions associated with mucous congestion.

GARLIC GOLD 3000MG

LYSINE 1000 Do you suffer from cold sores? Lysine helps reduce the frequency and severity of cold sore outbreaks and decreases the time they take to heal. It also provides symptomatic relief from cold sore symptoms such as itching, pain and burning, and supports healthy immune system function and the healing of minor wounds. The Herpes simplex virus responsible for cold sores requires large amounts of the amino acid arginine.

Lysine competes with arginine for absorption, creating a situation in which lysine levels are relatively high compared to arginine, which may help inhibit the replication of the virus.

Fight colds and other mild upper respiratory tract infections with Garlic Gold 3000mg, which may reduce the severity and duration of your symptoms and provide temporary relief from coughs, mild sinusitis, bronchial congestion and mucus.

Best known for its immune-boosting actions, garlic also supports cardiovascular health in healthy people, including healthy cholesterol levels, blood vessels and blood flow. It has been shown that consuming increased quantities of garlic in the diet is associated with improved health and wellbeing.

SUPPORTING OLYMPIC DREAMS!

“ “ Success doesn’t come to you – you go to it!

The Olympic Games is the most famous and revered sporting event in the world. Men and women from countries all over the globe train their whole lives for the chance to compete against their peers in their chosen sport. It takes incredible reserves of strength, perseverance and courage. And once every four years the world stops to watch these incredible athletes give everything they have for the chance to be the world’s best.

That’s exactly what Haley, 14 and Amali, 11 are doing right now. Whilst you’re reading this article, Haley may have just caught a jaeger on the uneven bars and Amali may have just completed a side aerial on the balance beam.

These talented girls are training every day for the chance to be selected for the 2020 and 2024 Olympic Games.

Haley’s passion for gymnastics started when she was just 7 years old. When a family friend saw her performing perfect self-taught cartwheels in the back yard, she invited Haley to come and try out at the local gym. Haley was a natural, she quickly caught up with the other girls of her age who had been doing gymnastics for much longer, and soon became a star!

Not long after that, her 4-year-old sister Amali joined the local gym too.

at state level that her local newspaper ran a special feature to congratulate her. And now Amali, at just 11, is determined to make it into the 2024 Olympic selections.

Haley and Amali are now home-schooled so they can fit in their gymnastic training every day. Their mum and dad, who both have busy jobs here at Australian NaturalCare, check in with them constantly, making sure they’re not overworked and that it’s not getting too much for them. Both girls always reply in exactly the same way: they wouldn’t change a thing. They love gymnastics, it’s their way of life!

The girls will be competing in multiple Australian competitions this year and have their eyes set on first place in their age groups. We believe both girls will not only achieve their goals, they will go beyond them!

Australian NaturalCare is an extremely proud sponsor of Haley and Amali Prince. Their Olympic dreams are the Olympic dreams of many Australians and we will continue to stand by them and support their wellbeing.

There’s a saying in the world of gymnastics, “Success doesn’t come to you – you go to it,” and that’s just what these two incredible young girls are intent on doing. They have their hearts set, their leotards on, and their hands chalked - ready to take on the world!

Amali, a shy 4-year-old, took to gymnastics like a duck to water. She came out of her shell and her natural talent shone. She’s won so many gold medals PHONE: 1300 365 020

MEN’S HEALTH

NATURAL RELIEF FOR PROSTATE PROBLEMS In men, the prostate gland wraps around the neck of the bladder and plays a role in sexual function.

Looking after it becomes increasingly important as you get older.

From your 50s onwards, it’s advisable to have regular prostate checks, because around 1 in 4 men has prostate problems by the age of 55 and around half are affected by the time they reach their 70s.

In the vast majority of cases, the underlying issue is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a troublesome condition that tends to cause problems with urinary function and flow.

These natural remedies may help manage your symptoms.

Nettle root relieves BPH Nettle root may help relieve the symptoms of medically diagnosed BPH, including frequent

PROSTATE CARE MAX

FORMULA

Prostate problems? Prostate Care MAX may help relieve the symptoms of medically diagnosed benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), including nighttime urination, urinary frequency, incontinence, painful urination, problems with urinary flow, and incomplete emptying of the bladder (urinary retention). Clinical studies have shown that beta-sitosterol and nettle root relieve a wide variety of BPH symptoms. In Prostate Care MAX, they are supported by the Ayurvedic herb crateva, which has traditionally been used in BPH to help improve bladder tone, increase the force of urination and act as an anti-inflammatory.

Beta-sitosterol improves urinary flow Beta-sitosterol is a naturally occurring substance found in avocados and other oil-containing foods.

When taken as a supplement, it significantly improves urinary symptoms associated with BPH, including helping to improve the force of the urinary stream and decrease urine retention in the bladder.

Crateva – traditional bladder tonic The traditional Ayurvedic herb crateva has a long history of use for the management of urinary problems and may help relieve problems with frequent urination, painful urination, and issues related to poor bladder tone (including incontinence and poor urinary force).

SAW PALMETTO 3.2G PROSTATE FORMULA

TESTOFEN & HORNY GOAT WEED

ZINC PLUS

FORMULA

Testofen & Horny Goat Weed supports libido and sexual performance, and has been specially formulated to meet the needs of healthy middle-aged and older men. It contains a clinically trialled fenugreek extract called Testofen®, which has been shown to boost healthy sexual drive, desire and arousal in older men, and may also help increase their testosterone levels and the frequency of morning erections. In this potent formula, Testofen® is combined with horny goat weed, Korean (Panax) ginseng and cordyceps, which are regarded as aphrodisiacs and sexual tonics in traditional Chinese medicine.

Zinc supports many aspects of men’s wellbeing, including helping to maintain healthy reproductive physiology. It also has antioxidant properties and is needed for both immune function and skin healing. Research from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) shows that large numbers of Australian males consume inadequate zinc in their diets, including around one in four teenagers, more than a third of those 19 to 50 years old, more than half those in their 50s and 60s, and more than twothirds of older men.

WOMEN’S HEALTH

RELIEF FOR MENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS Every woman experiences menopause differently, but it has been shown that certain common symptoms can be particularly troubling.

Many factors can influence your experience of menopause, including hormonal changes, dietary factors and the climate in which you live, but among the most commonly experienced symptoms are hot flushes, night sweats and excessive sweating; changes in sexual function; and changes in mood.

Taking the heat out of hot flushes Many women find hot flushes the most troubling aspect of menopause, but a number of natural therapies may help: • Black cohosh has been used in Germany for more than 50 years to relieve hot flushes, sweating and other menopausal symptoms

• Sage has traditionally been regarded as having drying properties in Western herbal medicine, and used to help reduce the intensity of hot flushes and night sweats

• Regular intake of isoflavones or phytoestrogens from soy (specifically daidzein and genistein, which elicit a mild oestrogenic effect on the body) may help reduce the frequency and severity of hot flushes and night sweats Soy isoflavones soothe vaginal dryness During and following menopause, the vaginal tissue may become less capable of producing lubrication, with consequences including discomfort during sexual intercourse. The soy isoflavones daidzein and genistein support normal healthy vaginal tissue, and may help relieve vaginal dryness.

66

Herbs to help you keep calm Stressed or a bit anxious? Herbs traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to relieve mood variations during menopause include black cohosh, which may help to relieve mild anxiety and emotional ups and downs, sage to help calm nervous tension, and vervain, to strengthen the nervous system and help relieve nervous tension and related symptoms such as sleeplessness.

MENOPAUSE CALM & COOL Hot and bothered by menopause?

Menopause Calm & Cool helps reduce the frequency and severity of hot flushes and night sweats, and relieves menopause symptoms including mild anxiety, nervous tension, stress, mood swings, headaches, sleeplessness and vaginal dryness. In addition to the herbs black cohosh, sage and vervain, which have traditionally been used to help manage menopause symptoms, Menopause Calm & Cool contains soy isoflavones to support women’s bone and heart health and help maintain normal healthy vaginal tissue.

PREGNANCY & BREASTFEEDING

DHA: ESSENTIAL FOR MOTHER AND BABY During pregnancy, a growing baby relies solely on its mother to provide it with the omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) essential to its growth and development. Unfortunately though, many Australian women may not be getting enough from their diets.

Why do babies need DHA? DHA is essential for foetal development because it’s incorporated into the structures of the cell membranes in the brain and central nervous system. It plays an important role in normal brain development during both pregnancy and the early stages of infancy and childhood.

Similarly, DHA is incorporated into the structures of the eye (especially structures in the retina called rods, which are involved in peripheral vision and the ability to see in low light) and is instrumental in the development of the eyes and healthy vision.

How much DHA do mums need?

The International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids recommends that women who are pregnant or breastfeeding consume at least 200mg of DHA daily.

However, a 2016 study estimated the median amount of DHA in the diets of Australian women of childbearing age at only 51mg per day.

Since the mother’s intake of DHA contributes directly to the amount available to the baby, taking a DHA supplement may help support the healthy development of your baby’s cognitive function, nervous system and vision.

When should mums take DHA? DHA supplements are particularly recommended for mothers between the last trimester of pregnancy and (if you’re breastfeeding) the first 18 months after birth. This window is considered critical, because DHA quickly accumulates in the baby’s brain during this time, which coincides with a period of rapid brain tissue growth and cell division.

Meyer, B.J. Nutrients, 2016;8(3):111

DHA FOR PREGNANCY & BREASTFEEDING The omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is particularly important for growing babies, who obtain it from their mother during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Maternal intake of a DHA supplement during pregnancy may be associated with healthy cognitive function and nervous system, eye and visual development in infants and breastfed babies, and evidence suggests that it may also play a role in babies’ learning and memory. DHA is especially important during the third trimester of pregnancy when it rapidly accumulates in the baby’s brain and facilitates rapid tissue growth and development.

EYE HEALTH

EATING FOR EYE HEALTH Population studies suggest that a high antioxidant intake may help maintain healthy eyes as you get older – so here are six antioxidant-rich food groups to include in your diet that your eyes will thank you for!

Antioxidants are important for optimal eye health because they provide protection from free radical activity, which may otherwise cause oxidative damage to the eye tissues.

1

Whole grains, nuts (and maybe meat) Zinc supports the health of the macula, which is particularly vulnerable to free radical damage. If you’re a meat-eater, you’ll find it in red meat, poultry and seafood (particularly oysters).

There are plenty of good vegetarian sources too, especially whole grains and nuts, which also supply copper, which is important for balancing zinc levels in the body.

2

Orange vegetables Orange-coloured vegetables like pumpkin, sweet potato and carrots are rich in betacarotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body and is a powerful quencher of free radicals too.

3

Leafy green vegetables Green leafy vegetables like spinach, silverbeet and kale provide lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants found in the macula and lens, where they filter out harmful blue light rays that could otherwise reach the retina.

68

4

Brazil nuts Strictly speaking, Brazil nuts aren’t a food group – but they are the richest known dietary source of selenium, which is used by the body as part of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, and thus plays an important role in protecting eye health.

5

Citrus and other fruits Citrus fruits are a great way to get vitamin C, which concentrates in the eyes, where it has antioxidant effects and helps maintain healthy eye function.

6

Berries Dark blue and red berries contain antioxidant compounds called anthocyanocides, which support retina function (including aiding light adaptation and visual sharpness in poor light).

Bilberries are one of the richest sources of anthocyanocides and have traditionally been used in Western herbal medicine to help improve blood flow to the eyes and maintain the integrity of the small capillaries there. Since bilberries aren’t freely available in Australia, eating blueberries is the next best thing, or consider taking a bilberry supplement.

SEE BETTER IN DIM LIGHT

BILBERRY 24,000MG ONE-A-DAY

Antioxidants called anthocyanosides found in bilberry support the regeneration of rhodopsin (also known as visual purple), a compound that’s present in structures called rods in the retina, where it plays an important role in helping us to see in dimly lit conditions.

Rhodopsin is depleted by exposure to bright light, but bilberry supports its regeneration. This may help with light adaptation and therefore your ability to see in conditions of poor light.

Bilberry 24,000mg One-A-Day is our super-strength standardised bilberry formula, rich in compounds called anthocyanosides, which provide nutritional antioxidant support for healthy eyes and help to strengthen the capillaries, especially those that help to nourish the eye. As a result, Bilberry 24,000mg One-A-Day may help to relieve eye strain and the visual fatigue caused by computer work, glare, poor lighting or fine detailed work. It may also assist with visual clarity including aiding nighttime acuity (or sharpness) and light adaptation.

Australian NaturalCare’s Bilberry 5000 contains compounds called anthocyanosides, potent antioxidants that support the health of the capillaries in the eyes and also help maintain peripheral circulation.

To maintain healthy eyes and vision, it’s important to take good care of your macula – the region of your eyes responsible for central vision. Australian NaturalCare’s Healthy Eyes is packed with potent antioxidants that help protect the sensitive macular region from free radical activity and oxidative damage, including zinc, selenium, vitamin C and the carotenoids betacarotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. It has been shown that consuming rich sources of these antioxidants in the diet helps older people maintain healthy vision.

PROBIOTICS

SB FOR DIARRHOEA RELIEF Diarrhoea can be one of the most frustrating and embarrassing conditions to deal with. If it’s something that affects you, read on to discover how the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii may help.

Commonly referred to as SB, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Boulardii) has been shown to be beneficial for diarrhoea from several causes.

Infectious diarrhoea For example, SB may help relieve symptoms of diarrhoea in both adults and children, decreasing the duration of symptoms and the frequency of bowel movements - especially when the diarrhoea is due to a ‘tummy bug’.

TIP: For this type of diarrhoea start taking SB as quickly as possible after the onset of symptoms and continue taking it for one to two weeks afterwards.

Travellers’ diarrhoea SB has also been shown to help reduce the risk of travellers’ diarrhoea, which many people experience when travelling to foreign locations, and which is contracted by exposure to contaminated food, water or other liquids.

TIP: Clinical studies suggest that to reduce your risk of travellers’ diarrhoea, it’s best to start taking SB five days before travel and then continue taking it throughout your trip.

Irritable bowel syndrome SB may help relieve symptoms and regulate bowel movements in people who’ve been medically diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea-predominant or mixed symptoms. It’s hypothesised that these benefits may be due to

70

SB’s ability to modify the balance of bacteria in the intestines and its anti-inflammatory actions in the digestive system.

Seek medical advice if diarrhoea persists for more than 6 hours in infants under 6 months; 12 hours in children under 3 years; 24 hours in children aged 3-6 years; or 48 hours in adults or children over 6 years.

PROBIOTIC SB DIGESTIVE BALANCE Finally – natural diarrhoea relief! Australian NaturalCare’s Probiotic SB supports gut health, helps relieve diarrhoea and reduces the risk of diarrhoea while travelling. It even helps regulate bowel movements in people who’ve been medically diagnosed with diarrhoeapredominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Probiotic SB works by helping to maintain healthy gut flora, and also has antiinflammatory and immune-boosting effects in the digestive system. It is suitable for adults and children, and continues to be effective when taken in conjunction with antibiotics. No refrigeration required.

LIVER & DIGESTIVE HEALTH

7 REASONS

TO TAKE MILK THISTLE Milk thistle has numerous benefits for health and wellbeing, mostly centred on its support of healthy liver function; here are seven you should be aware of.

6

Milk thistle aids fat digestion Milk thistle supports emulsification, the process in which consumed fats are broken down into smaller particles that can be acted on by bile and enzymes, enabling them to be metabolised properly.

7

1

2

Indigestion relief Milk thistle has been used to relieve symptoms of indigestion and sluggish digestion since ancient times in traditional Western herbal medicine.

3

Antioxidant benefits Milk thistle contains a group of compounds collectively known as silymarin, which have antioxidant properties and also stimulate the activity of the body’s own antioxidant defences, thus helping neutralise potentially damaging free radical activity and oxidative stress in the liver.

4

Detox support Silymarin assists and supports the liver’s detoxification processes, which are involved in the breakdown, processing and excretion of metabolic wastes.

5

Strengthens liver cell membranes Cell membranes are responsible for allowing substances such as nutrients and hormones to move in and out of the cell. Silymarin helps strengthen, protect and support cell membranes in the liver, which is important for the optimal functioning of the cells.

Helps regenerate liver cells Milk thistle and silymarin help stimulate protein production in the liver, which supports its natural capacity for regeneration, and ultimately enables the liver to produce new cells to replace old and damaged ones.

Gallbladder support The liver and gallbladder work closely together, and in addition to its benefits in supporting liver health, milk thistle has traditionally been used to support healthy gallbladder function in Western herbal medicine.

LIVER CARE MILK THISTLE 13000MG Love your liver with high potency Liver Care Milk Thistle 13000mg. Milk thistle is a liver and gallbladder tonic that supports detoxification and improves symptoms of sluggish digestion, including indigestion, difficulty digesting fatty foods, loss of appetite and mild upper digestive discomfort. In addition, its potent antioxidant properties help protect the liver from the damaging effects of toxins and free radicals and support its regeneration capacity, increasing the production of new liver cells to replace old and damaged ones.

FIBRE - AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR DAILY DIET Your diet should contain both water-soluble fibre (including gums found in legumes and psyllium, and pectin, found in apples), and insoluble fibre, as is found in the bran of whole grains. Together, these two types of fibre help keep you regular and remove metabolic wastes from your body.

In addition, water-soluble sources of fibre such as psyllium, linseed and pectin are considered particularly important for the maintenance of healthy intestinal bacteria, which is required for healthy digestive function.

LIVER & DIGESTIVE HEALTH

DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE DIGESTING FAT? Fats, proteins and carbohydrates make up the basic components of all the foods we eat. Of the three, fat places the greatest load on the digestive system, and many people feel sluggish or uncomfortable after eating it.

in Western herbal medicine to help relieve symptoms of sub-optimal liver function and sluggish digestion, including nausea after eating fatty foods, fatigue, flatulence, and uncomfortable feelings of fullness after eating.

Why fat digestion is like washing the dishes When you’re doing the washing up, fatty residues on the dishes merge to form large globules on the water’s surface, only breaking into smaller, more manageable particles when you add detergent.

Also consider taking schisandra, which supports the liver’s detoxification pathways (another key aspect of liver health).

Fats and oils perform in a similar way in your digestive system, forming large globules that are difficult to break down and metabolise.

HERBAL FAT METABOLISER

It’s all about bile In your digestive tract, bile acts like detergent, breaking the large globules into smaller droplets in a process called emulsification so they can be acted on by your digestive enzymes and then absorbed and assimilated by your body.

Bile is produced in the liver and secreted by the gallbladder, so looking after these organs helps maintain healthy fat digestion.

Nutritional support for fat metabolism The amino acid taurine is a core component of bile and is involved in emulsification. It’s also one of a group of nutrients known as lipotropic factors (meaning they’re required for the transport and metabolism of fats in the body), as are choline, inositol, folic acid and vitamin B12.

FORMULA

Herbal Fat Metaboliser combines herbs and nutrients that help your body metabolise and eliminate dietary fats more easily and efficiently. Milk thistle, dandelion and gentian have traditionally been used to relieve symptoms of sluggish liver function such as feeling tired, nauseous or overly full after eating fatty foods. Milk thistle also has antioxidant properties and along with schisandra, supports and enhances liver detoxification. Also contains key nutrients required for fat metabolism, including taurine, choline and inositol.

SLEEP & STRESS

THREE HERBS TO PROMOTE A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP Having trouble sleeping? Consider taking herbal sedatives, botanical medicines that may reduce nervous system activity and quieten nervous tension to provide relief from sleeplessness and help induce restful sleep.

California poppy California poppy is a vibrant golden flower that’s native to California, where it grows so abundantly that it’s the official plant emblem of the state.

It’s traditionally been used as a mild sedative to help relieve sleeplessness, and also has mild antianxiety effects to help ease nervous tension, and analgesic properties that may help relieve pain.

Passionflower If you’ve ever seen a passionfruit vine in flower, you’ll be familiar with the distinctive purple and white passionflower, with a cross in its centre that gives the plant its name, having been historically regarded as a symbol of the Passion of Christ.

The species used in traditional Western herbal medicine is called Passiflora incarnata, which has mild sedative properties that are used to help relieve sleeplessness, restlessness and irritability.

It’s traditionally considered especially useful when irritability or mental stress are associated with sleeping difficulties, and like California poppy, is regarded as having mild anti-anxiety benefits.

Ziziphus Also known as red date, ziziphus is consumed as both a food and a medicine in China and other parts of Asia. In traditional Chinese medicine, ziziphus is regarded as having calming

properties, so is taken to help calm irritability and restlessness, ease stress, and help relieve sleeplessness. In addition, ziziphus is traditionally used as a tonic for the Qi, or life force energy.

A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP A relaxing blend of sedative herbs to help you sleep more deeply, including the Western herbs California poppy (traditionally used as a sleep aid, and considered especially useful when pain is interfering with sleep) and passionflower (traditionally used to promote restful sleep, particularly when stress or mild anxiety are present), and the Chinese herb ziziphus (traditionally prized for its calming properties and taken to relieve sleeplessness, stress and irritability). Also contains magnesium, low levels of which may contribute to poor sleep.

SLEEP & STRESS

VALERIAN AND THE DENTIST

VALERIAN 1000 HERBAL RELAXER In European herbal medicine, valerian has long been taken to improve sleep quality and provide temporary relief from sleeplessness, nervous tension, stress and mild anxiety. This gentle sedative is non-habit forming, and does not cause morning drowsiness.

For sleeplessness, take one or two tablets of Valerian 1000 Herbal Relaxer an hour before bedtime. Up to three tablets can alternatively be taken during the day to calm nervous tension and mild anxiety or relieve muscular spasms of the digestive tract.

Are you one of the many people who gets mildly anxious about going to the dentist?

If you typically find yourself getting tense and worked up about it, you might want to consider taking some valerian first!

In a small clinical study performed in Brazil, researchers observed that when healthy people took 100mg of valerian one hour prior to a dental procedure, they were 85% more calm and relaxed than patients who had taken a placebo supplement.

GRAPE SEED PROTECTS YOUR BLOOD VESSELS

GRAPE SEED 12 000MG

As we get older, our capillaries and other blood vessels often start to lose their integrity and structure, ultimately resulting in tired, aching, swollen legs or the unfortunate development of issues such as spider veins and varicose veins. Grape seed contains potent antioxidants called oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs), which help strengthen the collagen matrix that provides structural support to the blood vessels. Grape seed helps stabilise and protect the capillary walls, reducing their fragility and improving blood flow to the peripheral areas of the body, including the hands, feet and legs.

Grape Seed 12 000mg improves circulatory health, helping to protect and stabilise the capillaries and strengthening weak blood vessels. It may also help aid the management of varicose veins and relieve cold hands and feet. These actions are due to grape seed’s rich content of potent antioxidants called oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs), which also help the eyes adapt to variations in light intensity, have anti-inflammatory actions, and help maintain healthy connective tissue, joints and muscles.

UNDERSTANDING PERIPHERAL CIRCULATION

FISH OIL 1000MG

Your peripheral vascular system is comprised of the arteries, veins, capillaries and smaller blood vessels responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood to your tissues and returning de-oxygenated blood to your heart. If the blood flow is compromised (for example due to narrowing of the blood vessels), cells in the affected area may not get the oxygen and nourishment they need to thrive. Being furthest away from the mighty pumping power of your heart, your lower legs and feet are particularly susceptible to poor vascular health.

Fish Oil 1000 supports blood vessel health by helping to maintain peripheral circulation (which is responsible for blood flow to the legs, feet and hands) and by helping healthy people maintain healthy levels of triglycerides (fats in the blood). The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil also help support heart health and are incorporated into brain cells in both adults and infants. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, Fish Oil 1000 may also help relieve joint pain, swelling, inflammation and other symptoms of mild osteoarthritis, and improve the mobility of affected joints.

CRANBERRY REDUCES RECURRENT CYSTITIS New research lends more support to Cranberry’s long-held reputation for helping to reduce the risk of cystitis.

In a randomised, double-blind placebo controlled study, women who had recently experienced a cystitis infection were assigned to take either cranberry juice or a placebo drink daily for six months. At the end of that time, 26.6% of the women who took the placebo had experienced symptoms of mild cystitis, compared to only 17.8% of those who had taken cranberry.

Maki, K.C. et al. Am J Clin Nutr, 2016;103(6):1434-42

CYSTITIS-CARE CRANBERRY 10G Suffering from the burning pain of cystitis? Cystitis-Care Cranberry 10g may help relieve your symptoms and reduce the frequency with which you experience cystitis. It works by discouraging harmful bacteria (including E. coli, which is responsible for most cases of cystitis) from adhering to the mucous membranes lining the bladder.

Cystitis-Care Cranberry 10g may be particularly beneficial for women who suffer from recurrent cystitis.

BLADDER CONFIDENCE

FORMULA

CELERY & DANDELION HERBAL DIURETIC Ease fluid retention with Celery & Dandelion Herbal Diuretic. In Western herbal medicine, celery seeds and dandelion leaves have traditionally been prized for their diuretic properties and taken to promote the production and excretion of urine as well as for the temporary relief of the pain associated with mild osteoarthritis, and gout. Unlike many other diuretics, dandelion leaves are rich in potassium. This helps offset the potassium loss that may occur when the excretion of urine is increased.

Worried about bladder control? Try Australian NaturalCare’s Bladder Confidence, which contains a combination of soy isoflavones and pumpkin seed oil that has been scientifically formulated to support healthy bladder function and control and help relieve symptoms of bladder weakness such as urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and men’s nocturia (frequent night-time urination). Suitable for both men and women.

SUPERFOODS

NUTRIENT-RICH SUPERFOOD

SPIRULINA 1000MG

The use of spirulina as a concentrated source of nutrients can be traced back to the Aztecs, and was documented by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th Century.

Today it’s prized for the broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals and amino acids it contains, and is considered particularly valuable as a protein supplement for vegetarians and vegans because (unlike legumes) it contains all essential amino acids.

Spirulina is a freshwater algae that’s a natural powerhouse of nutrients. On a weight-for-weight basis, it provides 25 times more betacarotene than carrots, 50 times more iron than spinach, and 10 times more calcium than milk! All in all, it contains 100 natural nutrients, including protein, B-group vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium, magnesium and zinc. No wonder it has a reputation as an energy-boosting superfood! Low in fats, calories, sugar and sodium. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

NATURAL VITAMIN E CREAM

▲ 100% natural ▲ 88.26% certified organic ▲ Rich in natural vitamin E Our NATURAL VITAMIN E CREAM is a luxurious, 100% natural moisturiser that helps to soften and smooth dry skin, improve hydration and reduce the visible signs of ageing.

It is formulated with tocopherol, a natural form of vitamin E, which is more easily absorbed than the synthetic form used in many creams (usually called tocopheryl actetate). Vitamin E is an important antioxidant which helps protect the skin from oxidative damage and acts as a barrier to moisture loss.

We’ve also added organic sea buckthorn oil and cocoa butter for their rich moisturising properties, and organic Australian Kakadu plum, which contains vitamin C, for additional antioxidant protection.

Over 88% of the ingredients have been certified as organic by COSMOS, the world leader in organic certification, which also means there are none of the nasties found in many creams such as parabens, phthalates, acrylates, glycols, PEGs, mineral oils, silicones, or artificial preservatives and fragrances.

The lovely, natural fragrance comes from a blend of organic essential oils and flower extracts and the hygienic pump head tube protects the cream from contact with air.

It’s made in Australia, never tested on animals and available only from Australian NaturalCare.

FORMULA

With 100% naturally derived ingredients, of which over 88% are certified organic by COSMOS, it is one of the best value, genuinely natural vitamin E creams you can buy!

Beauty from within Hyaline Collagen Peptide is a collagen supplement in the form of a pure, odourless and tasteless powder (collagen hydrolysate).

Collagen is a protein that is vital for the health and structural integrity of your skin and joint cartilage. The natural ageing process, excessive sunlight and poor nutrition can deplete collagen from the skin, resulting in wrinkles and a loss of elasticity. Age, exercise and stress on joints can deplete collagen from your cartilage.

Collagen hydrolysate contains high amounts of the amino acids Proline and Glycine – the two main building blocks your body needs to make more collagen.

Hyaline Collagen Peptide dissolves easily and completely - just add three teaspoons to a glass of water. It’s a simple, effective way to incorporate a collagen supplement into your daily beauty routine!

Gluten, lactose, yeast and alcohol free. Just 75 kJ (18 calories) per serving. Contains Collagen Peptide from bovine origin in Germany.

This is a great basic recipe. Jazz them up a bit and try our other combinations, or create your own.

Ingredients 1 cup EasiYo Greek Style Yogurt 2 cups self raising flour 2 tablespoons of butter 2-4 teaspoons of Vegemite or Marmite ½ cup cheese

Ingredients 18-20 dates, pitted 125ml (½ cup) boiling water 180g (2 cups) grainy cereal or muesli 125g (½ cup) EasiYo Greek Style yogurt 1 teaspoon orange zest ½ teaspoon mixed spice 2 teaspoon toasted sesame or chia seeds 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds

Method Preheat oven to 210°C. Line a tray with baking paper and set aside.

Combine 1 cup of yogurt with 2 cups of self raising flour in a bowl and mix together. On a floured bench knead dough into a ball, approx. 5 minutes. Add additional flour if the dough is still sticky.

Roll the dough into a large rectangle using a rolling pin.

Melt 2 tbs of butter and 3-4 heaped tsp of Vegemite in the microwave and mix. Brush over the dough, then sprinkle with ½ - ¾ cup of cheese.

Roll the dough into a log and cut into pieces, 2cm wide.

Place each piece flat on tray and brush again with the melted butter and Vegemite.

Bake for approx. 15 mins until golden.

Tips Instead of butter and Vegemite why not experiment with sweet options such as jam or cinnamon and butter with a sprinkle of sugar.

12 scrolls 10 mins 15 mins

Method Boil your jug. Place the dates in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Stand for at least 1 hour then drain.

Place the softened dates, grainy cereal or muesli and yogurt in the food processor and blend well.

Add the remaining ingredients and whiz to combine.

(This should be a sticky, moist mixture so add a little extra cereal if too wet.) Roll into balls and into extra seeds if desired. Chill for at least 2 hours.

Tips • For Chocolate Yogurt Balls – add tablespoon cocoa to the blender or melt 100g white, dark or milk chocolate.

Add ¾ to the date mixture whizzing to combine, then roll into balls and drizzle with remaining chocolate.

• Add extras like finely diced dried apricots, cranberries or chocolate chips to make them special.

MANUKA HONEY Raw. Australian. Delicious.

Australian NaturalCare’s manuka honey is hand-harvested from bee hives in the coastal forests and bushlands of northern NSW and Queensland.

The bees collect nectar from the beautiful flowers of a native plant called Leptospermum. Australia has over 80 varieties of Leptospermum but only a few of them produce the unique type of nectar which gives manuka honey its special properties.

What makes manuka honey so special?

Whilst most honeys contain the antibacterial substance hydrogen peroxide, it rarely survives the journey from hive to home. Manuka honey has much higher levels of another natural antibacterial substance called methylglyoxal (MGO) which is more potent and more stable. Manuka honey with a methylglyoxal level of 100 or higher is considered ‘bioactive’. As the level of methyglyoxal increases the bioactive properties increase.

Independently tested Every batch of Australian NaturalCare’s manuka honey is processed in a HACCP certified facility. It is then tested by highly respected and independent laboratories to verify its methylglyoxal level so you can be confident that you’re getting a genuinely bioactive honey.

Healthy and delicious

Our honey is raw and unpasteurised which means it keeps all of the nutrients and bioactive benefits. Although Australian food regulations prevent us from making specific therapeutic claims for our favourite sweet stuff, we can definitely claim it’s delicious!

Manuka honey is distinctively flavoured. It is darker and richer in taste than other honeys and is delicious eaten straight from a spoon. Enjoy daily as part of a healthy, balanced diet.

MANUKA HONEY MGO 100 MGO 100 is a great tasting honey for everyday use.

250g code 7770 $21.95

MANUKA HONEY MGO 500 MGO 500 is particularly high in bioactive methyglyoxal and supports general wellbeing.

Using the thick, concentrated broth drawn out of the cooking process, they then add a variety of herbs, spices and other natural flavourings, along with naturally evaporated sea salt to create a range of delicious broths for all tastes.

Just one teaspoon added to a cup of hot water makes a tasty, nourishing drink in less time than it takes to make a cup of tea! Or add to sauces and marinades, gravy or even mashed vegetables.

Made from 100% Australian grass-fed and finished pasture-raised, hormone and antibioticfree cattle. No water, no fillers or thickeners.

Shelf stable when unopened but store in the fridge when opened.

As well as being delicious, cherries are a good source of fibre, vitamins and minerals, including potassium, calcium, vitamin A and folic acid.

They’re also packed with antioxidants including anthocyanins and quercetin.

Cherry More does not contain any juice concentrate, preservatives, water or colouring. It is just pure crushed cherries from the farm. You can store the unopened bottle for up to 12 months in your pantry. Once opened the juice should be refrigerated and consumed within about 10 days.

PICK YOURSELF UP WITH A NATURAL HEALTH TONIC! Ancient healers have used the nutritional properties of leaves, herbs, berries, mushrooms and spices for thousands of years to craft natural health tonics.

Natural Remedy Tonics is a range of concentrated nutraceutical health tonics made with extracts of traditionally used Ayurvedic and Chinese herbs and spices. They are blended with fruit juices to add extra flavour and contain no added refined sugars.

Made in Australia.

NATURAL REMEDY TONICS TURMERIC A concentrated nutraceutical health tonic which blends turmeric and a 95% concentrate of curcumin with mango puree, orange, liquorice, ginger and cinnamon for a pleasant, refreshing drink.

Added black pepper enhances the absorption of the turmeric. No added sugar, just naturally sweetened with stevia. Just one serve of 20ml is equivalent to 3 tablespoons of turmeric. Try it with coconut or almond milk, fresh juices, hot water with honey or add to smoothies. Take it in conjunction with your Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever tablets as a perfect way to boost the beneficial effects of curcumin!

Note: this product contains a small amount of preservatives (as sulphites 220 and 223) to extend shelf life once opened.

NATURAL REMEDY TONICS GINSENG, GINKGO & BRAHMI WITH BLUEBERRY A nutraceutical tonic which combines extracts of ginkgo biloba, ginseng, brahmi, green tea and chrysanthemum blended with blueberry and pear juice.

Ginkgo and Bacopa brahmi have been used for thousands of years as circulation and brain tonics. Ginseng is a tonic herb used for its invigorating properties. Green tea contains polyphenols which are powerful antioxidants.

This tonic has an exotic herbal taste with a distinct blueberry flavour and touch of extra sweetness from the addition of erythritol and stevia. It makes a wonderful spritzer when added to sparkling water, and can also be mixed with water, tea, juice or smoothies.

NATURAL REMEDY TONICS SARSAPARILLA Savour the traditional taste of yesteryear with this delicious nutraceutical tonic containing real sarsaparilla root, liquorice, molasses and Panax Korean ginseng in a base of pear juice.

Sarsaparilla was brought to Europe from the Americas in the mid-sixteenth century where it quickly became popular with physicians and the public for its medicinal benefits. However many sarsaparilla drinks today no longer contain any natural sarsaparilla and are instead made with artificial flavourings and lots of added sugar.

The latest flavour in the Natural Remedy Tonics range contains natural sarsaparilla root extract, combined with Korean ginseng and liquorice in a base of pear juice. The addition of a little natural molasses and stevia gives it a deep, mellow sweetness. It’s a perfect natural pick-me-up.

Delicious with ice-cream as a Sarsaparilla spider or with sparkling mineral water for a healthy spritzer.

No added refined sugars, artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners.

ORGANIC SOAPBERRIES A 100% natural, organic alternative to laundry detergents and fabric softeners Soapberries are the fruit of the Sapindus Mukorossi tree, which grows mainly in the Himalayas of Nepal. The dried shell is full of a substance called saponin, a natural soap. When added to water, the saponin acts as a natural detergent, freeing dirt and grime from laundry.

Soapberries are low sudsing, so they are great for front loader and top loader washing machines and they don’t leave a residue. They’re also hypo-allergenic which makes them perfect for people with allergies or sensitive skin.

They’re grey water and septic tank safe and once you’ve used them up they can be composted for a no-waste solution.

Just add five soapberries to the small muslin bag (which comes in the pack) and throw it in the machine. The small wash bag will last for around five loads in cold water, and around 3-4 loads in warmer water.

That Red House Organic Soapberries are sustainably harvested from wild trees in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal and are certified organic by international certification body Ecocert and USDA.

250g Code 9518

$14.95

LAUNDRY TONIC A lovely essential oil blend for adding natural fragrance to your wash when using your soapberries (as the soapberries themselves are essentially fragrance free).
