WELCOME “ “

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE SUPPORT

Dear all - our loyal Australian NaturalCare family,

We’ve also extended our natural skincare range, with our new Ageless Skin Revital Q10 Night Cream, Brightening Facial Serum, and Illuminating Eye Cream complementing our ever popular Natural Vitamin E Cream. The formulas have all been developed in-house and are truly special.

Welcome to your latest Health Guide, which comes at a very exciting stage in our company’s history. We work hard to improve each edition of the Health Guide based on your feedback, so I hope you find this issue more helpful than ever. Knowledge is a very powerful tool and our intention is to provide you with as much easy-tounderstand information as possible to empower you to make well-informed health choices for yourself and your family.

Over the coming year, we’ll continue to create new products to benefit you and your family. For example, we have a beautiful range of natural Australian soaps coming soon!

There aren’t many health and wellness companies - especially vitamin companies - that can continue to guarantee that all of their products are 100% manufactured in Australia, but we are certainly one of them. As always, we’re driven by the belief that it’s important that we support our manufacturing industries so that we keep as many jobs in Australia as we possibly can. This is one of my proudest achievements and a real point of difference in the market. We’ve recently expanded our range with the addition of a number of new products including Precious Skin with Marine Collagen Superfoods, PerformX for men, Probiotic 32 Billion, and Energy & Stamina Complex to name but a few. I’m also really excited about Australian NaturalCare’s expansion into our own brand of healthy foods and lifestyle products, like Manuka Honey, Cherry Juice, and our essential oil range, all of which have received a fantastic response from our customers.

This is an exciting time for us as we’ve partnered exclusively with Priceline to sell a select range of our products and expand our reach in the Australian marketplace. Our renowned great service and the convenience we’re famous for aren’t changing, but this new partnership gives you an additional way of accessing our products, and enables us to share them with more customers. Add to this our expansion into overseas markets like China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh and more, and we’re flying the flag for premium quality, Australian-made health and wellness products all over the world. I thank you for your incredible support, without which our Australian NaturalCare family could not possibly hope to thrive. Your partner in health,

Peter Jamieson Chief Executive Officer

BORN IN BYRON BAY... 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. Over 30 years later, we’ve grown to be the No.1 direct to consumer retail brand owner of Australian-manufactured 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? We know many of our customers by name, speak to them regularly, and listen to their feedback carefully. We see every customer as an individual with unique concerns and health goals. More than just supplements We believe that wellness comes from both nutritional choices and a more balanced lifestyle. Our range now includes over 100 vitamins, minerals and other nutritional supplements, along with an extensive range of natural foods, healthy home and personal care products. Quality you can trust Australia has some of the world’s highest standards and most strictly controlled manufacturing practices for 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.

Being healthy and happy is the best way to enjoy all of life’s little moments. So remember, we’re always here to help!

OUR QUALITY PROMISE All Australian NaturalCare branded supplements are manufactured in Australia at state-of-the-art facilities.

EVIDENCE-BACKED FORMULAS Scientists are discovering amazing new information about the power of nature every day.

Our manufacturers all abide by the strict standards of the Australian Code of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) which guarantees a consistent standard of production quality. It also ensures you can be confident that what you read on the label is what you get in the bottle.

Each of our supplement formulas is based on a solid body of clinical, traditional and/or scientific evidence, and has been carefully designed to provide therapeutic levels of the key ingredients. If a product is in our range, or an ingredient is in one of our products, you can be confident that it’s there because our team of experts is satisfied with the evidence behind it.

All Australian NaturalCare products undergo thorough testing before being released for sale. For example, our rigorous stability testing ensures that each active ingredient in a formula maintains its therapeutic level throughout the product’s shelf life.

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 your particular health needs.

AMBASSADOR PROFILE

JEANETTE HEGGIE

CURCUMIN HELPS JEANETTE HELP THOSE IN NEED Jeanette Heggie is a selfless person who gives much of her time to charity. A few years ago, she thought that some of that would come to an end. Then she discovered Curcumin. Growing up in the country meant that Jeanette has always been an avid craft person. She can knit, sew, crochet and more. She made trauma teddies and beanies for those suffering from cancer, but was told by her physiotherapist to stop due to pain in her thumbs. After three years of putting her crafts to the side, Jeanette decided to give some Australian NaturalCare products a try. She found that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of Curcumin helped relieve the pain in her hands as well as the pain in her neck and back caused by working on her parent’s farm when she was younger. She took up her favourite hobbies once again.

Jeanette has now regularly been taking Curcumin along with glucosamine and fish oil for several years. She says that these products have contributed to her not only returning to the crafts she loves but also to knitting many beanies and booties for the special care nursery at the Calvary Hospital. Jeanette also crochets octopus toys for premature babies, many of whom are in special cribs and can’t have a parent with them all the time. Each octopus has long legs that give the babies comfort and something to hold. Jeanette has made over one hundred of them to date and has no plans of slowing down.

“ “ I’ve got so many years ahead of me, I’m not going to stop doing my crafts

LIVING WELL WITH MILD OSTEOARTHRITIS

One in 11 people in Australia has some degree of osteoarthritis, making a grand total of around 2.2 million people who are affected by the condition, about 60% of whom are women. It becomes more common as we get older, affecting more than one in five people over 45 years old, and more than a third of those aged over 751. What causes osteoarthritis? Osteoarthritis develops over time due to wear-andtear damage to the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones in the joints. This alters their biomechanics and causes the bones to rub together and sometimes to develop bony spurs. The resulting symptoms include pain, swelling and decreased mobility of affected joints1. Healthy lifestyle tips for osteoarthritis sufferers Keep moving: Although it may be tempting to rest your aching joints, it’s actually best to keep them moving. Doing so helps manage osteoarthritic pain and stiffness, maintain your range of motion and strengthen the muscles around the affected area (enhancing joint stability)1. The best exercise routines for people with osteoarthritis are low-impact

activities, like swimming, tai chi and walking (as opposed to high-impact activities like running) – but talk to your health professional about what’s right for you before you get started. Watch your weight: Carrying too many kilos increases your likelihood of developing osteoarthritis by increasing the load on your cartilage and weightbearing joints and by making your body more prone to low-grade inflammation. However, when overweight osteoarthritis sufferers start to slim down, their pain levels and joint mobility tend to improve, and the progression of joint damage declines too1,2. Prioritise anti-inflammatory fats: Fats found in meat and most vegetable oils, nuts and seeds produce proinflammatory compounds during their metabolism, while the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and other seafood have the opposite effect, leading to the production of anti-inflammatory compounds2. To alter the balance in your favour, increase your intake of fish and seafood, while simultaneously decreasing your consumption of fatty meats and poor quality, refined vegetable oils.

INFLAMMATION IN MILD OSTEOARTHRITIS

Inflammation is one of the hallmarks of mild osteoarthritis. Curcumin and its anti-inflammatory action Even when the affected joints are not visibly red or swollen, inflammation is commonly present in the synovial membrane that lines them, where it can contribute to the mild aches and pains that sufferers experience. In addition to contributing to the symptoms of mild osteoarthritis, this inflammation may also play a role in the condition’s progression over time and the resulting damage to the affected joints and cartilage. Curcumin: anti-inflammatory for mild osteoarthritis Curcumin – the compound that gives turmeric its characteristic golden-yellow colour - has welldocumented anti-inflammatory properties. These anti-inflammatory actions are believed to contribute to curcumin’s benefits in mild osteoarthritis, including its ability to relieve mild joint pain, swelling and stiffness, and its supporting effects on the flexibility and mobility of affected joints. In a 2019 review paper published in the journal Nutrients1, researchers examined the data from 16 clinical trials that had investigated the role

16

of curcumin in various aspects of osteoarthritis (such as inflammation and pain) and concluded that 14 of those papers had yielded positive results. Additional antioxidant support Oxidative stress (free radical damage) is also thought to play a role in the development of osteoarthritis, perhaps by interfering with the production of healthy new collagen for the joint cartilage2. Curcumin has significant antioxidant properties to help reduce the formation of free radicals in the body and help inhibit their ability to damage the cells. References: 1. Yang M, et al.

PHOSPHOLIPIDS FOR CURCUMIN ABSORPTION

CURCUMIN

Phospholipids are a class of lipids that incorporate both fatty acids and phosphates into their structure. They’re found widely throughout the body because they’re a key structural component of all cell membranes. Curcumin has both antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties, but is poorly absorbed in its natural state. (In fact, you’d need to eat a LOT of turmeric-containing curries to consume it in therapeutic doses). However, when curcumin is bound to phospholipids (derived from food-grade lecithin) the absorption is significantly improved, making it more available for the body to use.

THE ROLE OF CHONDROITIN IN CARTILAGE

Curcumin relieves mild osteoarthritis symptoms, including mild joint pain and stiffness, and mild inflammation and swelling of the affected joints. It also supports joint mobility and flexibility in mild osteoarthritis and has antioxidant properties to help reduce free radical damage to body cells. Australian NaturalCare’s Curcumin contains Meriva® Curcumin phospholipid complex, a proprietary formulation in which curcuminoids from turmeric are bound to phospholipids to enhance their absorption and availability to the body. 60 film coated tablets Order Code 4454 1 bottle $49.95 2 bottles $85.00 SAVE $14.90 CLUB 4 $29.95 SAVE $20.00 Each film coated tablet contains: Curcumin 90mg (from Meriva® Curcumin phospholipid complex 500mg).

FLEXICARE GLUCOSAMINE AND CHONDROITIN

Articular cartilage is the rubbery tissue that covers the ends of your joints, enabling them to glide smoothly past each other when you move your body. It contains an extracellular matrix that includes collagen fibres, plus formations called proteoglycans that bind the collagen fibres together. A proteoglycan is similar in shape to a bottlebrush, with a protein core down the centre and an abundance of spindles (or ‘side chains’) emerging around it, many of which are composed of chondroitin sulfate. Thanks to this structural role in cartilage, chondroitin enables the joints to withstand compression and bear heavy loads.

Glucosamine and chondroitin help ease the symptoms of mild osteoarthritis, including reducing mild joint aches and pains, relieving mild joint inflammation and swelling, decreasing mild joint stiffness, and maintaining joint mobility and flexibility. They also support the production of healthy collagen and joint cartilage and promote healthy functioning of the joints, and glucosamine helps to decrease cartilage losses associated with wear and tear. Flexicare also contains vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps decrease cellular free radical damage. 60 film coated tablets Order Code 4682 1 bottle $41.90 2 bottles $63.80 SAVE $20.00 CLUB 4 $20.95 SAVE $20.95 Each film coated tablet contains: Glucosamine sulfate potassium chloride complex 1g (1000mg), equiv. to glucosamine sulfate 750mg, Bovine chondroitin sulfate 400mg, Ascorbic acid (vit.

JOINT AND CARTILAGE CARE FOR SPORTS PEOPLE

Participating in sports is a fun way to stay fit, enjoy the camaraderie of a team and give your competitive nature free rein at the same time.

soccer players’ cartilage was being damaged outstripped the rate at which the body could replace it.

If there’s any downside, it’s that some sports increase your risk of developing joint problems such as osteoarthritis in future years, an issue that’s believed to occur due to a combination of altered joint biomechanics and damage to the joint cartilage and soft tissues surrounding the joint.

For the soccer players in this study, taking 1500mg glucosamine (or more) per day for three months led to a significant reduction in the compounds associated with cartilage damage, indicating that glucosamine helped to decrease the cartilage losses and create a more advantageous balance between cartilage wear-and-tear and the formation of healthy new cartilage.

Most of the research in this field is conducted in soccer players since that’s the most popular sport in the world, but the same issues are likely to apply to other sports that involve lots of rapid acceleration and deceleration, pivoting and twisting, or a high degree of personal contact with your opponents or teammates. Think rugby, netball, hockey and volleyball, just for starters! Glucosamine reduces cartilage damage In a small Japanese study published in 2017*, higher levels of compounds associated with cartilage damage and breakdown were detected in the urine of young soccer players than in a control group of non-players. The urine of the athletes also contained increased levels of compounds associated with the production of new collagen (a key component of cartilage). However, the ratio of the two different types of compounds indicated that the rate at which the

Glucosamine eases mild osteoarthritis symptoms too If you’re a current or retired sportsperson whose joints are already experiencing aches and pains or the symptoms of mild osteoarthritis, you might want to consider taking a glucosamine supplement too. At doses of 1500mg per day, it helps relieve the associated pain and joint stiffness, and supports the mobility and flexibility of the affected joint.

Some sports increase your risk of developing joint problems such as osteoarthritis in future years.

ZINC, VITAMIN C AND JOINT CARTILAGE Healthy joints need healthy cartilage, and zinc and vitamin C contribute to both. Zinc supports the formation of collagen, which is a core structural component of the cartilage. Along with glucosamine, it also supports the growth and development of healthy new cartilage and helps promote healthy joint function. Vitamin C supports the health of the joint cartilage, and like glucosamine, helps decrease cartilage damage and losses associated with wearand-tear on the joints.

HEALTHY JOINTS GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE Healthy Joints contains glucosamine sulfate, which helps relieve symptoms of mild osteoarthritis, including mild joint aches, pains and stiffness. Glucosamine helps decrease wear-and-tear on the joint cartilage and supports the mobility of the joints, while vitamin C has antioxidant properties, supports collagen formation and can help decrease cartilage losses. Healthy Joints Glucosamine Sulfate also contains zinc, copper, manganese and citrus bioflavonoids.

CAPSICUM FOR MILD OSTEOARTHRITIS PAIN The heat of chilli and cayenne peppers (including the species used medicinally, Capsicum annuum) is due to their content of a compound called capsaicin. When applied to the skin in small concentrations (for example as a cream), capsaicin binds to receptor sites on certain types of nerves to relieve symptoms of mild joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. In a study published in 2018* researchers found that topical applications of capsaicin were more effective than placebo for mild osteoarthritis pain of the hand, knee, hip or shoulder. Capsicum cream should be used consistently for at least four weeks for optimal benefits. *Reference: Guedes, V. et al. Reumatol Clin, 2018;14(1):40-5

UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF MILD OSTEOARTHRITIS ON DAILY LIFE Everyone who’s affected by mild osteoarthritis has their own experience with it. To arrive at a consistent understanding of the symptoms and the effects of various treatment options, researchers often use a questionnaire called the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), which asks sufferers to rate their experience with three different aspects of osteoarthritis*. WHICH OF THEM ARE RELEVANT TO YOU? Pain The WOMAC questionnaire considers osteoarthritis pain both during rest (e.g. when in bed or sitting down) and during active movement (e.g. when walking or using stairs). Joint stiffness The WOMAC questionnaire measures joint stiffness that occurs first thing in the morning (as is common in osteoarthritis) and stiffness later in the day. Joint function Perhaps the most important aspect of osteoarthritis is its impact on the ability to perform life’s daily tasks, so the joint function section of the WOMAC questionnaire considers how easy it is for you to perform activities like getting up after sitting down, getting in and out of bed or a car, and doing your housework and shopping. Glucosamine for mild osteoarthritis symptoms Glucosamine sulfate has been shown to have an impact on all three aspects of mild osteoarthritis as measured by the WOMAC index: •P AIN: Glucosamine relieves mild joint pain and soreness and also decreases mild inflammation and swelling

20

•J OINT STIFFNESS: Glucosamine relieves mild joint stiffness and supports joint mobility, helping to keep affected joints flexible and moving at their best • JOINT FUNCTION: Glucosamine supports the health of the joints and the cartilage that lines them, which helps decrease the effects of wearand-tear on the joints and promotes healthy joint function *Reference: Physiopedia.

GLUCOSAMINE AND FISH OIL:

TWO OF AUSTRALIA’S MOST POPULAR SUPPLEMENTS

A recent study1 found that around half of all Australians take some form of complementary medicine.

As you’d expect, vitamin and mineral supplements were the most popular of those used, but two other supplements are also exceptionally popular: fish oil and glucosamine. Are you including them in your daily health routine? Fish oil: one of Australia’s favourites A paper published in the journal Nutrients in 20172 found that after vitamin and mineral supplements, fish oils are the most popular supplements in Australia.

Glucosamine: A few years earlier, a study3 investigating the use of glucosamine found that it was taken by more than one in five Australians over 45 years old. It’s not surprising that glucosamine is so popular among people in this age group, since it helps relieve mild osteoarthritis symptoms such as joint pain, inflammation and stiffness – and all of those issues become increasingly common as we get older. References: 1. Harnett, J.E. et al. BMJ Open, 2019;9(7):e024198. 2. O’Brien, S.K. et al. Nutrients, 2017;9(10): pii: E1154 3. Sibbritt D, et al. PLoS ONE 2012;7(7):e41540

They’re estimated to be taken by just over 9% of Australian adults, including more than 16% of women in their 50s and 60s and more than 13% of men in the same age group2. The popularity of fish oil is hardly surprising – they’re an excellent way to top up your intake of omega-3 fatty acids if you’re one of the many people who don’t manage to include two to three servings of oily fish in your diet each week.

PAIN MANAGEMENT

3 HERBS TRADITIONALLY USED FOR PAIN RELIEF People around the world have been turning to herbs to help ease aches and pains for hundreds of years. Here are three of our favourite herbal pain relievers, one from traditional Western herbal medicine, one from traditional Ayurvedic herbal medicine, and one from traditional Chinese medicine. White willow bark relieves lower back pain – and more! White willow bark is arguably the best-known of all the herbal analgesics. It contains a compound called salicin, which is converted into salicylic acid by the body and is responsible for the herb’s antiinflammatory actions and pain-reducing benefits. White willow bark and the salicin it contains are considered particularly beneficial for any pain that’s caused by inflammation, so think of it if you’re experiencing acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain. For example, in clinical research*, white willow bark has been shown to provide temporary relief from acute and chronic low back pain. In Western herbal medicine, white willow bark is also traditionally used to help reduce symptoms of mild osteoarthritis and gout, and to relieve headaches and decrease their frequency.

Ginger has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties Ginger has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties, and a long history of therapeutic use in many different parts of the world, from Europe to China, the Middle East and India. For example, in Ayurvedic medicine, it’s traditionally taken to relieve inflammatory symptoms. In mild osteoarthritis, ginger helps relieve pain, inflammation and swelling of the affected joints and eases the associated muscular discomfort and morning stiffness. Ginger also helps to ease period pain and provides temporary relief from migraine headaches. Taken prophylactically, it may also help reduce the frequency with which they occur. Corydalis: traditional Chinese pain relief Corydalis is traditionally regarded as having analgesic effects in Chinese medicine, where it’s used to relieve many different types of pain, including period pain. In Chinese medicine, pain is often considered to be due to congested or stagnant flow of blood and/or the life force energy called Qi, and the pain-relieving benefits of corydalis are traditionally attributed to its ability to invigorate the circulation of blood and the movement of Qi. *Reference: Gagnier, J.J. et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev, 2006;(2):CD004504.

HALEY AND AMALI PRINCE PASSION, PRACTICE, WELLNESS AND OLYMPIC DREAMS

Hard days are the best because that’s when champions are made

Gabby Douglas

We’ve been telling you about Haley and Amali Prince for years now. They’re sisters from the Central Coast of NSW who have dreams of competing in gymnastics at the most prestigious sporting event in the world, the Olympic Games. Both girls are going from strength to strength and are more passionate about gymnastics than ever. Haley celebrated her 16th birthday by competing in the Australian Classics on the Gold Coast. It was her first time competing as a senior international athlete and she was very proud, especially as she was returning from injury. Last year was Amali’s first time competing at the Australian Classics. She competed in the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics as a future international athlete and completed a double somersault on the floor - a very hard routine to perfect. Amali is now 13 and has been in the elite gymnastics program since she was only 5 years old. Dreaming big, working hard, sacrificing, training and practicing wellness are all things the Prince sisters do every day to ensure they’re at the very top of their game. They both love the sport and say visualising their floor routines before each competition helps them remain calm and gives them confidence. Both girls train Monday to Saturday with Zhen Zhang and Ma Jun at the Sydney Gymnastics and Aquatic Centre in Rooty Hill. Their intense schedule includes 27.5 hours of training per week. They attend Sydney Distance Education High School in

Woolloomooloo so they can fit their school work around their training program. Despite such a busy schedule, Haley works at the local fruit shop on Sundays, and when the girls aren’t training, they love going to the beach, shopping and catching up with friends. The Prince sisters’ parents both work for Australian NaturalCare - part of the family. Jess and Jamie work tirelessly getting the girls to training, checking on their school work and traveling interstate for various competitions. They say it’s worth it to see how happy the girls are when competing. “We admire the focus, discipline, and confidence that gymnastics has taught our girls and are so proud of their ability to balance their school work and training,” says Jess. The girls will compete in many competitions this year, setting themselves small goals and aiming towards the big one: the Olympic Games! Haley’s goal is to be selected in the Australian National Team so she can gain more experience and compete overseas. When training so intensely, it pays to have your vitamins and supplements in check. The girls take magnesium, vitamin B12, and iron, as well as enjoying muscle-relaxing bath oils and salts. At Australian NaturalCare we’re extremely proud to sponsor the dreams of these two young athletes whose Olympic dreams are shared by so many Australians.

BONE AND EVERYDAY MUSCLE HEALTH

BONE AND MUSCLE HEALTH

MAGNESIUM FOR MUSCLES, BONES… AND MORE! Magnesium is involved in every major physiological process in the body, making it one of the most versatile nutrients in your diet. Here are just a few of the many ways that it supports your health. Magnesium for healthy muscle function The movement of your muscles involves a sequence of coordinated contraction and relaxation of the muscle fibres. Magnesium is required in order for the muscles to contract and relax in a healthy way. When dietary intake of magnesium is inadequate, the contraction and relaxation of the muscles sometimes becomes disordered or erratic; taking a magnesium supplement may help relieve the resulting muscle cramps, spasms and twitches. Magnesium and nerve conduction For movement to occur, the brain needs to communicate with the muscles, which it does by sending messages through the nerves. Magnesium is essential for the conduction of these messages (or ‘nerve impulses’), and for the healthy coordination of the nerves and muscles, which are together known as the neuromuscular system. Magnesium supports bone health Magnesium is also critical for the health of the bones, where it aids the healthy growth of new bone and supports the mineralisation and density that gives healthy bones their integrity and strength. Other functions of magnesium Magnesium supports general health and wellbeing in other ways too. For example, it supports the healthy functioning of the heart and cardiovascular system and assists in the body’s production of proteins.

Want more magnesium in your diet? Magnesium-rich foods to incorporate into your diet include nuts and seeds like pepitas, almonds, sunflower seeds; dairy products; cacao and dark chocolate; soy products like tofu, soya beans and edamame (green soya beans); and dark green leafy veggies like spinach.

EVERYDAY BONE AND HEALTH MUSCLE HEALTH

ARE YOU DEPLETING YOUR MAGNESIUM? Magnesium is involved in many different physiological functions, so it interacts with a wide variety of enzymes, neurotransmitters and other compounds, many of which can affect its uptake and excretion. For example, having a high intake of alcohol, salt, soft drinks or caffeine can increase the amount of magnesium that’s passed from the body in your urine, while sweating heavily during exercise or because you live or work in a hot, humid environment can increase magnesium losses due to perspiration.

MAGNESIUM CHELATE 1000MG Magnesium helps relieve muscle cramps and mild muscle spasms. It supports muscle health and function (including healthy muscle contraction and relaxation), nerve conduction and a healthy neuromuscular system (the coordination between the muscles and nervous system). Magnesium also maintains heart health and healthy functioning of the cardiovascular system. In the skeletal system, it aids healthy bone development and supports the health, strength and integrity of the bones.

HABITS

THAT HELP BUILD HEALTHY BONES Our skeletons undergo a continuous remodelling process in which bone is broken down (bone resorption) and rebuilt (bone formation). Unfortunately though, as we get older, bone formation often occurs more slowly than bone resorption, which can decrease the overall bone mass, have detrimental effects on skeletal integrity, and may ultimately result in osteoporosis. However, several aspects of your diet and lifestyle have the potential to play a big role in your skeletal health, so it’s never too early or too late to get started with these healthy habits.

1

Avoid cigarette smoke, alcohol, soft drinks, sugar and salt Being a smoker or being exposed to secondhand (passive) smoke may increase your susceptibility to osteoporosis as you get older, so is best avoided.

3

Keep your calcium intake high Calcium is vital for healthy bones throughout the lifespan. It aids in healthy bone building and helps promote bone strength, density and integrity. Dietary deficiency of this important nutrient can lead to osteoporosis in later life.

4

Get a little sunlight every day Exposing your skin to sunlight leads to the formation of vitamin D, which aids calcium absorption and helps enhance the health, integrity, strength and mass of the bones. (See page 65 for more information on vitamin D).

5

Consider vitamin K Include plenty of leafy green vegetables in your diet to ensure you’re consuming vitamin K on a regular basis. Vitamin K works alongside calcium and vitamin D to help promote bone mineralisation and thus support bone density and integrity.

It’s also advisable to be sparing in your intake of sugar, salt, soft drinks and alcohol, because they may have detrimental effects on bone health too.

2

Exercise regularly Staying active is one of the best things you can do for your bones. Ideally, at least some of your physical activity should involve weightbearing, so walking, running, dancing and weightlifting are ideal forms of exercise, as long as your health professional says they’re okay for you.

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

REASONS TO CONSIDER COQ10 Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is one of our most popular supplements here at Australian NaturalCare. Here are four of the most important reasons that you might want to consider taking it.

28

AUSNATURALCARE.COM.AU


HEARTEVERYDAY HEALTH SUPPORT HEALTH

1

Cells need CoQ10 for energy production CoQ10 occurs naturally in almost every cell in your body and is essential for general health and wellbeing. In particular, it plays a critical role in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the compound that’s used as the body’s primary energy source and powers almost all its functions. (Refer to What is ATP? below, to learn more). Due to its role in energy production, CoQ10 is especially abundant in tissues with high energy demands, like your hardworking heart and the skeletal muscles that enable you to move.

2

CoQ10 is an extraordinary antioxidant Free radicals are volatile or unstable atoms that are naturally generated in the body by various physiological processes and by exposure to pollutants. They can occur in both fatty and watery environments in the body, and over time can have potentially damaging effects on the cells, referred to as oxidation or oxidative damage. On the other hand, antioxidants are molecules that can bind to free radicals, stabilising them and inhibiting their ability to cause oxidation. CoQ10 acts as an antioxidant that helps scavenge or ‘mop up’ free radicals in the body. As it’s a lipidsoluble antioxidant and is present in many of the body’s cell membranes, it plays a key role in helping to inhibit free radical activity, especially when it occurs in fatty environments.

In addition to its free radical-fighting actions, CoQ10 extends the body’s overall antioxidant capacity by regenerating vitamin E after its depletion during its own encounters with free radicals.

3

CoQ10 supports heart and cardiovascular system health Thanks to its combined effects in producing the energy required to power the heart muscle and its antioxidant actions, CoQ10 supports the healthy functioning of the heart and cardiovascular system.

4

CoQ10 levels decline with age Taking a CoQ10 supplement may be particularly relevant for people in their 50s and older, because the body’s naturally occurring levels of CoQ10 diminish with age. These declines in CoQ10 may be due to a combination of factors, including: • The cumulative effects of age-related oxidative stress • A reduced ability to produce CoQ10 • Inadequate intake of nutrients involved in CoQ10 manufacture in the body (for example vitamin B6) • Increased requirements for CoQ10 due to agerelated changes in health status Regardless of their cause, it’s hypothesised that the declining levels of CoQ10 that we experience as we get older may have an impact on our wellbeing as we age, making this nutrient one that we should all consider.

COQ10 150MG ONE-A-DAY GET UP & GO

WHAT IS ATP? Before the food you consume can power your body, it needs to be converted into a form of energy your cells can utilise. That energy source is adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. It’s produced in the mitochondria of your cells from glucose and oxygen and acts as the fuel for almost all activity that occurs in the human body. In addition to glucose and oxygen, the complex cellular respiration process that produces ATP requires coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and involves a number of other nutrients, including magnesium, iron and some B-group vitamins.

CoQ10 150mg One-A-Day Get Up & Go provides 150mg of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in a single convenient daily dose. It supports healthy heart and cardiovascular system function and is essential for energy production at a cellular level in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which fuels all bodily processes. Our naturally occurring levels of coenzyme Q10 diminish with age, so supplementation with this powerful antioxidant may help maintain general wellbeing as we get older.

NEW HEALTHY HEART EATING GUIDELINES

The National Heart Foundation of Australia has recently updated their dietary recommendations.* Do your eating habits need to change? Eat plenty of veggies, fruit and wholegrains Your heart-friendly diet should be abundant in fruit, vegetables and wholegrain cereals and consequently rich in nutrients and fibre (including soluble fibre, as found in oats, barley and psyllium). If you’re not already eating this way, now’s the time to start: the Heart Foundation estimates that simply increasing vegetable intake to the recommended five servings per day could reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 16%. Make wise protein choices The new dietary guidelines recommend obtaining your protein from a wide variety of sources: •P rioritise fish and seafood (aim for at least 1-2 serves per week) and legumes (like beans and lentils) as your primary protein sources •C onsume eggs and lean poultry in smaller amounts, limiting your weekly intake of eggs to a maximum of seven per week if you’ve been diagnosed with high cholesterol or blood sugar problems

Enjoy dairy foods Dairy foods can be a good source of both protein and calcium, so milk, yoghurt and cheese are included in the new eating guidelines. However, the Heart Foundation still advises that you avoid calorie-rich, flavoured varieties of these foods, and choose reduced-fat products if you’ve been diagnosed with high blood cholesterol or are watching your weight. They also say that butter is still best kept to a minimum, as it may raise lowdensity cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) levels. Choose healthy fats Healthy sources of fat include unsalted nuts, seeds and avocadoes and cold-pressed oils such as extra-virgin olive oil, avocado oil, almond oil and macadamia oil. According to the Heart Foundation, fats best avoided include butter, lard, dripping and palm oil. Limit salt Restrict your salt intake to 5 grams per day by avoiding packaged and processed food and by adding only minimal salt to your food at the table and while cooking. *Reference: Heart Foundation. Dietary position statement: Heart healthy eating patterns, 2019.

•L imit red meat to 350 grams (cooked weight) per week, choosing lean options and avoiding processed meats like bacon, ham and salami Always read the label. This medicine may not be right for you.

JUNE DAVIDSON

A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE PAYS OFF June Davidson, 77, is a busy woman. She’s always helping others, whether it be family or friends. Among her many passions are her cheeky Jack Russell x Corgi dog named Murphy, a beautiful garden and a vibrant social life. An active person, June has always kept herself fit with walking, running, skipping, dancing and skating. Over the years she’s had both knees replaced, with the most recent being in March 2019.

June’s healthy lifestyle includes a balanced, healthy diet filled with fresh fruit and vegetables, plenty of water, exercise and finding the right vitamins for her. Together, these factors have contributed to her excellent recovery from recent knee problems and June is now comfortably back to her regular walks with Murphy and spending time on her gardening.

June has tried many vitamins and supplements over the years, experimenting by taking them for a period of time, then having a break to see if she feels any different. She now takes her favourite products religiously. When June was recommended to take CoQ10 many moons ago she obliged and ran her usual test. She found she felt much better when taking CoQ10 and has never looked back. So, when a vitamin D supplement was suggested, she again tried, tested and has kept up with the recommended dosage.

MAKING A RITUAL OF HER DAILY SUPPLEMENTS Michelle Ferrara has been with Australian NaturalCare since 2008 and both she and her husband take several products from the range. Before making her first vitamin purchase, she did a lot of research to ensure she was making the right decision for her.

Mrs Ferrara is one of Australian NaturalCare’s best customers and she really looks forward to the informative packs she receives in the mail. The regular updates on new products and the letters from our CEO, Peter Jamieson are her favourite.

For years Mrs Ferrara had pain in her knees caused by mild osteoarthritis. Around 11 or 12 years ago, concerned that her problems might get worse if she didn’t take action, Mrs Ferrara consulted a personal trainer.

She says that the quality products, family orientation and friendly service of Australian NaturalCare are the reasons she has been such a loyal and long-time customer.

She began a routine including regularly training at her local gym and taking a few vitamins and supplements to encourage healthy joints and bones. After following this routine her pain has been greatly reduced and her joint mobility has improved remarkably.

Setting out our vitamins and supplements for the next morning is my little health ritual.

Every night Mrs Ferrara prepares the specially selected vitamins and supplements that work for herself and Onofrio, her husband, and pops them in a little jar ready to be taken the next morning with their breakfast. She describes this as her ‘little health ritual’.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ENZYME AND A COENZYME? An enzyme is a substance (typically a protein) that triggers or accelerates a chemical reaction in the body, thus enabling many of our metabolic processes to occur. Coenzymes are molecules that are necessary for enzymatic reactions to take place. While they don’t have the ability to initiate or speed up chemical reactions by themselves, they act as helper molecules that facilitate enzymatic functions and consequently metabolic pathways. For example, CoQ10 is a coenzyme in the enzymatic reactions that result in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the body’s primary source of energy.

HOW CAN I BOOST MY INTAKE OF VITAMIN E?

NATURAL E 500IU D-ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL

To get more vitamin E in your diet, increase your intake of cold-pressed vegetable oils (wheat germ oil is the best option) along with nuts and seeds (like almonds and sunflower seeds). Whichever vitamin E-rich foods you choose, consume them in the freshest and least-processed state possible, because more than half of a food’s vitamin E content may be lost during cooking. Food processing techniques like freezing, bleaching and milling may further reduce vitamin E levels. In particular, avoid heating vitamin-E rich oils (add them to your salad dressings instead) and nibble on raw nuts and seeds rather than roasted ones.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps reduce the formation of free radicals in the body and decrease free radical damage to body cells. It supports heart health and healthy cardiovascular system function as well as maintaining healthy immune system function and supporting general health and wellbeing. This formula contains d-alpha-Tocopherol, a natural form of vitamin E that is the most biologically active form of the nutrient*.

NUTRITIONAL OILS

REASONS TO TAKE FISH OIL

The omega-3 fatty acids predominantly found in fish and other seafood work in numerous ways to support your health. Read on to discover a handful of the most important reasons to consider topping up your levels by taking a fish oil supplement.

1

You may not be getting enough omega-3s from your diet Firstly, consider whether your eating habits are providing you with the recommended amounts of omega-3s, because Australian data indicates that around 90% of adults don’t obtain optimal levels of omega-3s from their diets1. (Refer to Is it time to increase your intake of omega-3s? on page 38 for more information).

2

Heart and cardiovascular health Perhaps the most important reason to increase your intake of omega-3s is that doing so helps to support the healthy functioning of your heart and cardiovascular system.

3

Inflammation By competing with inflammation-promoting omega-6 fatty acids such as arachidonic acid, omega-3s lower levels of inflammatory mediators in the body, and when present in sufficient quantities, have an overall anti-inflammatory effect. The ratio between omega-3 intake and omega-6 intake may be critical here. It’s estimated that modern Western diets contain 15-20 times more of the pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids than the anti-inflammatory omega-3s, but that ideally our intake of the two different types of fatty acids should be closer to equal2.

4

Brain and eye function The omega-3 fatty acids, and especially docosohexaenoic acid (DHA) are also important for maintaining eye health. DHA is present in very high concentrations in the retina, which receives the information the eye takes in and converts it into signals for the brain to recognise. Additionally, DHA is incorporated into the cell membranes of the brain, where it helps keep them in a fluid state and supports healthy brain function.

IS IT TIME TO INCREASE YOUR INTAKE OF OMEGA-3S? To maintain optimal health and wellbeing and help guard against certain chronic health problems, men are recommended to consume 610mg of combined omega-3 fats per day and women are advised to aim for 430mg per day1. Fish are the predominant source of omega-3 fatty acids in the Australian diet, so the Australian Heart Foundation recommends 2-3 servings of them every week to help meet these dietary targets, maintain heart health and support healthy cardiovascular system function2. Regularly consuming fish and omega-3 fatty acids supports brain and eye health, including the health of the retina, which is the part of the eye that detects light and converts it into signals that it sends to the brain for interpretation. Which fish are best? If it’s time for you to get serious about increasing your intake of fish, prioritise oily fish like these varieties, which contain some of the highest levels of omega-3s: salmon, blue-eyed trevalla, mackerel and herring, canned sardines and salmon, barramundi, bream and flathead2. Calamari (squid), scallops and mussels are also good sources of omega-3s if you need a break from all that fish now and then! Whichever types of fish or seafood you choose, steer clear of deep-fried and battered dishes, which contain undesirable and unhealthy sources of fat alongside the health-friendly omega-3s. Should I take an omega-3 supplement too? Data from the most recent National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey3 indicates that only around one in 10 Australian adults obtains the optimal levels of omega-3 mentioned above from their diet alone. In contrast, around half of those who take omega-3 supplements do achieve the optimal intake recommendations3, so if you’re concerned that your

38

diet may not be providing you with consistently high levels of omega-3s, taking a supplement may be worthwhile. References: 1.

DECLINING OMEGA-3 LEVELS IN AUSTRALIAN FISH

Changing industry practices mean that the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in the fish in your diet could be getting lower.

It’s estimated that around half of the seafood we consume is obtained from the wild, while the remainder is produced by fish farming1. Unsurprisingly, wild fish consume a diet that contains exclusively marine-based sources of oil. Consequently, their diets are naturally rich in omega-3 fats, which are then absorbed into their bodies and make their way into ours via the food chain. However, farmed fish are increasingly fed diets containing non-marine oils, including vegetable oil and poultry oil, which are cheaper, more readily available, and lower in omega-3s than marine oils. As a result, the amount of omega-3s in farmed seafood has declined. For example, researchers from CSIRO1 have reported that the omega-3 fatty acid content of Australianfarmed Atlantic salmon dropped approximately 3050% between 2002 and 2010-2013.

Alarmingly, the ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids in the farmed salmon decreased steadily over the same time frame. In 2002, the salmon contained five times more omega-3 than omega-6, but by 2010-2013, the omega-3 levels were lower than those of omega-6. In contrast, wild-harvested salmon contains about 10 times more omega-3 than omega-6 fatty acids2. Whether it’s wild-harvested or farmed, Atlantic salmon remains a rich source of omega-3s – just be aware that if the seafood in your diet predominantly comes from farmed fish, you may need to eat it more frequently in order to maintain optimal omega-3 intake.

ENTERIC COATED FISH OIL 1000MG

Super Strength Fish Oil is a concentrated supplement that enables you to top up your dietary intake of the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) while taking fewer capsules than you’d need of regular fish oil. Fish oil provides nutritional support to help maintain a healthy heart and cardiovascular system, while DHA helps support healthy brain function and eye health (including retina health).

Fish oil is a rich source of the omega-3 marine triglycerides eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These essential fatty acids provide nutritional support for a healthy heart and cardiovascular system, including helping healthy people to maintain healthy triglyceride levels and peripheral circulation.

SUSTAINABLE SOURCING OF KRILL Krill are tiny prawn-like creatures that proliferate in the pristine waters of the Antarctic where they’re found in huge floating swarms. They’re an essential part of the food chain in the region, being consumed by whales, seals and penguins, among other species. Although each krill is only roughly the size of a paper clip, they’re a valuable source of omega-3 fatty acids and the red-coloured antioxidant nutrient astaxanthin (which is also obtained from prawns, salmon, and other seafood with similar colouring). The krill oil used in Australian NaturalCare products is harvested under strict conditions that have been carefully designed to preserve the current and future sustainability of the krill population and the precious Antarctic ecosystem they thrive in. Our krill oil supplier works voluntarily with the international body responsible for the conservation of marine life in the Antarctic (which is called CCAMLR - the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources), and has been audited and approved by leading international conservation groups, WWF-Norway (previously known as World Wildlife Fund) and the Marine Stewardship Council. Among other sustainability initiatives, their krill catch utilises a specially designed trawling system called Eco-Harvesting® technology, which ensures that no by-catch (that is, non-krill species) is inadvertently netted along with the krill, and thus minimises the

40

environmental impact of the harvest. To ensure the sustainability of the krill fishery over time, the annual harvest quota is capped by CCAMLR at just 1% of the total krill in the area. Our supplier takes an even more cautious approach, limiting krill harvesting to around a third of the permissible amount.

KRILL OIL 1000MG Krill Oil 1000mg contains sustainably sourced krill oil, a natural source of the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and the antioxidant astaxanthin. Krill oil supports brain, eye and heart health, and its antioxidant properties help reduce free radical damage to body cells. It also helps maintain healthy blood lipids and relieve mild pain and soreness of the joints. Omega-3 fatty acids from krill oil may be better absorbed than those from other sources, such as fish oil.

MEMORY SUPPORT

UNDERSTANDING COGNITION AND MEMORY

The term cognition refers to the mental activities that occur in the brain when you’re acquiring new knowledge or using your existing knowledge.

Memory Memory is the brain’s ability to store information then retrieve it later.

Cognition involves a large number of inter-related functions, some of the most important aspects of which include learning, memory and the ability to focus.

Short-term memory is the ability to temporarily hold information at the forefront of your mind for a brief period of time.

Learning Learning is the ability to absorb new information, acquire new skills or behaviours, develop new beliefs and values, or to change those that are already present. It sometimes occurs very quickly (for example when you touch a hot pan and instantly understand that you should avoid doing so again) but can also accumulate over a long period of time (like the knowledge gained over the course of your career). Focus The process of being able to centre your mind on a specific piece or type of information while ignoring or tuning out others is called focus.

In contrast, information committed to your longterm memory is retained for extended periods, although it may fade or be forgotten over time. Both focus and learning play a role in memory. For example, information is more easily retained when we’re focusing on it during the storage phase, and retrieval of stored knowledge and skills is easier when they’ve been learned over time (for example by performing the same tasks repeatedly). Ginkgo, brahmi and cognitive function Ginkgo and brahmi support several aspects of cognitive performance, including: •M emory and mental recall, including improving short-term memory

Focus requires a degree of alertness, so you’ve probably noticed how hard it is to concentrate when you’re tired.

• The ability to focus and maintain concentration

It also tends to be difficult to sustain your focus when you’re feeling overwhelmed - for example, due to the sensory overload of a noisy environment or when you’re a bit worried about something.

• Learning and the ability to process information

NEED SOME BRAIN FUEL? TRY GLUTAMINE!

BRAIN & MEMORY BOOST

L-glutamine is an amino acid that’s sometimes referred to as ‘brain fuel’ because it’s required for the production of glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which are two of the most important neurotransmitters or chemical messengers in the human brain. Glutamine supports healthy brain function and mental wellbeing. Along with other nutrients (like tyrosine, folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12), it also improves cognitive performance and short-term memory, and supports learning and information processing.

Australian NaturalCare’s Brain & Memory Boost includes ginkgo to support cognitive function and memory, maintain learning and information processing, and support mental concentration and focus. Brahmi is used in a similar way in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, where it’s also traditionally taken to help relieve symptoms of mild anxiety. Vitamins B6 and B12, folic acid and the amino acids glutamine and tyrosine enhance brain health and support several aspects of cognitive performance, including focus, mental clarity, mental recall and learning. Ginkgo also decreases mild dizziness and vertigo.

EYE HEALTH SUPPORT

EATING FOR EYE HEALTH Want healthy eyes and vision? Start by making sure your diet includes the nutrients they need.

Other antioxidants from the carotenoid family are important for eye health too.

Enjoy plenty of berries We sometimes think of berries as an occasional treat, but eating them regularly is an easy way to support your vision and eye health. That’s because they tend to be rich in anthocyanosides, purplecoloured antioxidants that support the integrity of the tiny capillaries that provide blood flow to the eyes.

In particular, lutein and zeaxanthin support the health of the macula, which is the region of the retina involved in maintaining clarity and focus in the centre of your visual field (as opposed to your peripheral vision).

So now you’ve got the excuse you were looking for to indulge in blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or mulberries any time you like! Alternatively, consider taking a high-potency bilberry supplement to support the health of the eyes and capillaries, as well as to help decrease free radical damage to the cells of the body. Eat plenty of orange, yellow and leafy green foods too Orange-coloured fruit and vegetables are well known for their content of betacarotene, an antioxidant that supports healthy eye function due to its conversion in the body into vitamin A.

46

To ensure you’re consuming enough of these eyefriendly antioxidants, make sure at least some of your five servings of veggies each day consist of leafy greens like spinach and kale, and yellow and orange vegetables like sweet corn and pumpkin. Make sure you get enough omega-3s Eating two to three servings of fish or seafood each week isn’t just good for your heart – it’s also a valuable way to support your eye health. If eating that much seafood isn’t consistently achievable for you, consider taking an omega-3 supplement that’s rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), like calamari oil, which supports eye health (including that of the retina) and healthy eyesight. (See page 43 for more information).

ANTHO-WHO???

BILBERRY 24,000MG ONE-A-DAY

When you’re reading about eye health, you might come across the terms anthocyanosides and anthocyanins. The terms are confusingly similar, so, what’s the difference? Anthocyanins are red, blue or purple pigments found in plants, with bilberry being particularly rich in them. Each anthocyanin molecule is a glycoside, which is a type of molecule that has a sugar bound to it, and that sugar (or aglycone) is called an anthocyanoside. But don’t get overwhelmed by the chemistry - the important thing to know is that they help maintain healthy eye function and reduce the body’s formation of free radicals.

Since they’re frequently exposed to glare and UV rays, the tissues and structures of the eyes can be susceptible to the effects of free radicals. Bilberry is a rich natural source of antioxidants called anthocyanosides, which help reduce free radical formation in the body, support eye health and maintain healthy eye function. Bilberry also helps support blood capillary health, including that of the blood vessels responsible for circulation to the eyes. Australian Naturalcare’s high potency formula is equivalent to 24g fresh bilberry per capsule, standardised to provide 86.4mg anthocyanosides. 30 hard capsules Order Code 6529 1 bottle $59.95 2 bottles $99.90 SAVE $20.00 CLUB 4 $39.95 SAVE $20.00 Each hard capsule contains: Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) ext. dry conc. stand. 240mg from minimum 24g (24,000mg) fresh fruit, stand. to contain anthocyanosides 86.4mg.

HEALTHY EYES

Bilberry is one of the richest known sources of anthocyanins, a group of antioxidant flavonoids that reduce free radical damage to body cells and support the health and functioning of the eyes. Bilberry also supports the health of the small blood vessels called capillaries (including those that supply blood to the eyes) and supports general health and wellbeing. Each capsule of Australian NaturalCare’s Bilberry 5000 contains a concentrated extract derived from 5g of fresh bilberry fruit.

Healthy Eyes contains zinc, vitamin C, and carotenoids including lutein and zeaxanthin, to help support healthy eye function, including supporting the health of the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, accurate vision, especially directly in front of you. The tissues in the eyes can be susceptible to free radical damage due to their regular exposure to glare and UV rays; these antioxidant nutrients (along with selenium and copper) help reduce free radical damage to body cells.

SLEEP SUPPORT

5 STEPS TO SOUNDER SLEEP

A solid night’s sleep sets you up to perform at your best during the day that follows, so here are some of our favourite strategies for those who have difficulty falling asleep or find themselves waking up during the night.

1

Get into the rhythm Establishing a regular bedtime and consistent waking time can help your body recognise when it’s time to sleep. Reinforce that schedule by engaging in relaxing activities in the lead up to going to bed, like listening to music or doing some gentle stretches.

2

Turn off your devices and dim the lights Light-emitting devices like your TV, tablet, smartphone or computer can interfere with your sleep-wake cycle by tricking your brain into thinking that it’s still light outside, so avoid those activities in the evening, and instead start dimming the household lights as the sun goes down.

4

Try herbal sedatives to help you sleep Herbs that may help you drift off to sleep include passionflower and California poppy, which are traditionally used in Western herbal medicine, and ziziphus, which is traditionally used in Chinese medicine.

5

Let go of tension and worry Are your worries keeping you awake? Meditation or mindfulness exercises may help quiet your mind. Herbs can help here too – passionflower and California poppy are traditionally used to relieve mild anxiety symptoms in Western herbal medicine.

3

Be active during the day Did you know that daytime exercise helps to improve night-time sleep? It’s yet another good reason to include some physical activity into your daily routine.

FORMULA

A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP

VALERIAN 1000 HERBAL RELAXER

Rest easy with A Good Night’s Sleep. It includes the sedative herbs passionflower and California poppy, which are traditionally used to support healthy sleeping patterns, relieve sleeplessness, help relax the body and induce sleep in Western herbal medicine, plus ziziphus, which is used in the same way in traditional Chinese medicine. Passionflower also helps decrease feelings of nervous tension and relieve mild anxiety symptoms. Magnesium has been added for additional support of healthy sleeping patterns and has antispasmodic effects on the muscles.

In Western herbal medicine, valerian helps reduce sleeplessness, decrease the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, relieve disturbed sleep, and support healthy sleeping patterns. Valerian also has soothing effects on the nerves, relieves mild anxiety symptoms, eases digestive spasms and flatulence, and decreases the duration of mild migraines and helps relieve their symptoms, based on its traditional use in Western herbal medicine.

STRESS SUPPORT

KSM-66 : CLINICALLY TRIALLED STRESS RELIEF* ®

KSM-66® is a proprietary extract of the Ayurvedic herb ashwagandha (also known as withania). In a clinical study* conducted in India, 64 people experiencing mental stress were allocated to take either 300mg KSM-66® ashwagandha extract (slightly less than the amount found in each tablet of Australian NaturalCare’s Anxiety Relief) or a placebo supplement twice daily for two months. At the end of that time, those who took KSM-66® reported experiencing more than 64% improvement in their stress symptoms, while those taking the placebo only reported a reduction of 10.4%. Significant improvements in mild anxiety symptoms were also experienced by study participants who took KSM-66® in comparison to those taking the placebo. *Reference: Chandrasekhar K, et al.

NEED AN ENERGY BOOST?

We all need a little extra energy from time to time, and luckily there are lots of herbs and nutrients that can help. This quick reference guide will help you determine the best options for you. Day-to-day energy maintenance The B-complex vitamins play a key role in maintaining energy because they’re vital for converting the carbohydrates in your diet into fuel that your body can use. Team them with CoQ10, which is closely involved in producing cellular energy. (Learn more about CoQ10 in 4 reasons to consider CoQ10 on pages 28-29).

Improve your endurance Wish you could pack more effort in before getting tired? Cordyceps supports physical endurance and stamina, so could be the herb for you! Also consider Korean ginseng, Siberian ginseng and rhodiola, mentioned above. Recovery after illness If you’ve been under the weather recently, consider taking Siberian ginseng. It’s traditionally used in Western herbal medicine as a restorative tonic that aids recovery from illness and relieves weariness and feelings of weakness.

Herbal pick-me-ups when you’re tired or stressed Herbs traditionally used to relieve physical and mental fatigue and support energy levels in Western herbal medicine include Korean ginseng, Siberian ginseng and rhodiola. All three herbs also support cognitive function, mental concentration and clarity. Additionally, both Korean ginseng and rhodiola support the body’s healthy stress responses and recovery from stress, so may be particularly beneficial if you’re under pressure.

URINARY TRACT HEALTH SUPPORT

5 TIPS FOR BETTER BLADDER CONTROL If needing to go to the loo too often is interfering with your sleep or daily activities, these tips may help.

1

Cut back on caffeine, alcohol and artificial sweeteners Beverages containing caffeine, like tea, coffee and cola, have diuretic properties – meaning they increase your need to pass urine. Alcohol and some artificial sweeteners have similar effects, so are best minimised if you’re troubled by needing to urinate too frequently.

2

Do pelvic floor exercises Your pelvic floor is the hammock-shaped group of muscles that you contract when you’re trying to stop yourself from urinating or passing wind. Exercising it regularly can reduce the need to urinate frequently in both men and women.

3

Lose weight if necessary Carrying extra kilograms increases the pressure on your bladder and pelvic floor, which can contribute to issues like urinary frequency and bladder leakage.

4 5

Try pumpkin and soya bean extracts Taking a combination of pumpkin seed and soya bean germ extracts supports healthy bladder function and relieves urinary frequency. Top up your magnesium levels Magnesium is important for maintaining muscle function, especially for helping to support healthy contraction of the muscles – including those that you squeeze when you’re trying to control your bladder!

To get started, clench the pelvic floor muscles by drawing them inwards and upwards (as though you were trying to stop yourself from urinating), then hold for 8 seconds before releasing them and resting for 8 seconds. Continue this sequence, building up to three sets of 10 repetitions as your pelvic floor muscles get stronger. Repeat daily.

BLADDER CONFIDENCE

CYSTITIS-CARE CRANBERRY 10G

FORMULA

Bothered by needing to go to the toilet too often? Bladder Confidence is formulated with soya bean and pumpkin seed extracts to relieve frequent urination and support healthy bladder function. It also contains magnesium, which helps maintain healthy muscle function, and in particular supports healthy muscle contraction. Australian NaturalCare’s Bladder Confidence is suitable for both men and women.

Do you suffer from medically diagnosed cystitis? Taking cranberry helps relieve the symptoms and reduces the frequency with which it recurs. Cranberry also helps support the health of the bladder and urinary tract and contains antioxidants that help reduce free radicals formed in the body and free radical damage to body cells. This concentrated formula is suitable for use during acute episodes of medically diagnosed cystitis and/or as maintenance therapy to help reduce the risk of recurrence.

WOMEN’S HEALTH

PROBLEMS WITH PERIOD PAIN? The medical term dysmenorrhoea is used to refer to the symptoms that most of us know as period pain, which can include painful cramps in the lower abdomen or back that are sometimes described as spasmodic or ‘stabbing’ in nature. Dysmenorrhoea typically starts soon after the onset of menstruation, and some women and girls continue to experience it every month, right through to menopause. How common is period pain? In an Australian study published in 20101, a whopping 93% of teenage girls reported experiencing some degree of period pain. A more recent study2 involving young women aged 16-25 in Victoria reported similar results, finding that 88% of participants experienced dysmenorrhoea. Of those, around one in five reported mild pain and approximately half described their pain as moderate in intensity. Almost a third of the participants in this study experienced severe period pain, and half of those with severe symptoms said that they’d needed to take time off work or school over the last six months because of it. (If you’re experiencing severe period pain, consult your health professional). Ginger relieves period pain Ginger decreases dysmenorrhoea and menstrual pain. For optimal results, consider taking 1000mg, twice daily (with food), starting four days prior to the expected onset of menstruation, and continuing throughout the period. In Western herbal medicine, ginger is sometimes combined with cramp bark, which is also traditionally used to relieve menstrual cramps and spasms.

52

What else does ginger do? Ginger is well known for its ability to relieve nausea, and it also relieves mild migraine symptoms and reduces their duration.

HOT TIP

If you suffer from mild migraines, consider taking magnesium too - it helps decrease the symptoms and their duration.

SOOTHE HOT FLUSHES WITH SOY

Have hot flushes got you all steamed up? Consider increasing your intake of soy and the isoflavones it contains. What are isoflavones? Isoflavones are a class of phytoestrogens, compounds that have similar (but milder) actions to oestrogen in the body.

Soya beans and some soy products are the richest sources of isoflavones in the human diet. Consumption of these foods is very common in many Asian cultures, where the estimated dietary intake of isoflavones is about 25-50mg per day.

What should I eat to up my isoflavone intake? Simply switching from dairy milk to soy milk in your coffee isn’t likely to be sufficient to provide therapeutic levels of isoflavones. Instead, start adding some boiled soya beans to your chilli con carne, or some tofu or tempeh to your stir fry on a regular basis. Also consider Australian NaturalCare’s Menopause Calm & Cool, which provides 50mg of isoflavones per day when taken as directed (one tablet morning and evening). Total isoflavone content

In contrast, the average Western intake is only around 1mg of isoflavones per day.

Soya beans (boiled) – ½ cup

56mg

Tempeh (cooked) – 85g

30mg

Soy helps relieve menopause symptoms Having a high intake of soy products and soy isoflavones helps relieve menopause symptoms, including reducing the frequency and severity of hot flushes and night sweats, and supporting the normal health of the vaginal tissue to relieve vaginal dryness.

Tofu (soft) – 85g

19mg

Edamame (green boiled soya beans) – ½ cup

Regular consumption of soy isoflavones helps to support normal healthy vaginal health and maintains bone and cardiovascular system health.

PREGNANCY

SO, YOU’RE HAVING A BABY! Whether you’re already pregnant or are planning to conceive in the months to come, your nutrition has never been more important! Make sure you’ve got the following nutrients covered. Folic acid Folic acid is the most critical nutrient to consider in the lead up to conception and during early pregnancy because it helps reduce your baby’s risk of neural tube defects like spina bifida. Women who are planning for a baby and those in their first trimester of pregnancy should supplement their diets with 400 micrograms of folic acid per day, ideally starting at least four weeks prior to conception. Iodine Like folic acid, iodine supports your baby’s developing central nervous system and brain. Consequently, the recommended dietary intake (RDI) of iodine for women who are pregnant is almost 50% higher than the RDI for other women, at 220 micrograms per day*. Most bread in Australia is fortified with iodine, and you can also obtain it from iodised salt, but if you’re not getting enough from those sources, you may benefit from taking a supplement. Iron During pregnancy, your body rapidly increases its production of blood so that it has enough to meet your baby’s needs. Iron is a key component of the haemoglobin in red blood cells that transports oxygen around the body, so your requirements for iron increase at the same time as your blood volume. Other nutrients: Other nutrients that may be needed in increased quantities during pregnancy include vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12 and E, all of which support a healthy pregnancy and maintain maternal health.

DEVELOPING BABIES NEED DHA What’s DHA? DHA is the abbreviation for docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that’s vital for health and wellbeing. Since it’s incorporated into the structure of several organs and tissues, including the brain, central nervous system and eyes, DHA is particularly important during foetal development and infancy. How much omega-3 do women who are pregnant or breastfeeding need? In Australia, pregnant women are recommended to consume at least 115mg of omega-3 fats (including DHA) per day, and women who are breastfeeding are recommended to consume at least 145mg*. These requirements are higher than those of other women, because during pregnancy the developing baby’s omega-3 requirements must be met by the mother, and during breastfeeding, a significant proportion of the mum’s omega-3 passes to her baby in her milk.

What about mercury? If you’re pregnant or intending to conceive it’s best to avoid or minimise your intake of fish that tend to have high mercury levels, including swordfish, shark and orange roughy (also known as deep sea perch). Taking an omega-3 supplement rich in DHA is an effective way to top up your dietary omega-3 intakes while you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, and you can rest assured that all Australian NaturalCare omega-3 supplements - including the CalaMarine® calamari oil used in DHA for Pregnancy & Breastfeeding - are stringently tested for mercury and heavy metals. *Reference: Australian Government, Department of Health and Ageing, National Health and Medical Research Council, Ministry of Health, New Zealand. Nutrient reference values for Australia and New Zealand, including recommended dietary intakes, version 1.2. Canberra: Commonwealth of Australia, 2017

Where do I get DHA? Most DHA in the human diet is from seafood sources, which is why we’re recommended to consume two to three servings of fish or seafood each week.

FOLIC ACID + IODINE COMPLEX FOR PRECONCEPTION & PREGNANCY

DHA FOR PREGNANCY & BREASTFEEDING DHA for Pregnancy & Breastfeeding contains CalaMarine® calamari oil, which is certified as sustainably sourced by Friend of the Sea. It’s a rich source of the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). During pregnancy, DHA supports healthy foetal development, including the healthy development of the brain and central nervous system. During breastfeeding, it continues to support infants’ brain and central nervous system development, as well as their general wellbeing. DHA is important for mums too – it maintains maternal health and supports the general health and wellbeing of breastfeeding women. 30 soft capsules Order Code 6533 1 bottle $39.95 2 bottles $59.90 SAVE $20.00 CLUB 4 $19.95 SAVE $20.00

Pregnant or planning for pregnancy? Taking folic acid for at least four weeks prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy helps to prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Along with iodine, folic acid also supports other aspects of healthy foetal development, including the development of the brain and central nervous system. Additionally, these essential nutrients support maternal health before conception and during pregnancy.

WHY DOES OUR SKIN CHANGE AS WE GET OLDER? We all know that the texture and characteristics of the skin change as we age, but why does it happen? And how can you slow the process down? Changes in collagen lead to wrinkling The skin’s middle layer (or dermis) contains an abundance of collagen fibres, which act as part of the matrix that gives skin its structure, strength and stretchiness. As we get older, the amount of collagen in the dermis decreases and the matrix becomes less organised, contributing to declining strength and integrity of the skin tissue. On the skin’s surface, these changes are visible in the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, and the skin may also start to sag and become more susceptible to the effects of gravity. Taking bioactive marine collagen peptides provides your body with the building blocks of collagen production for tissue building and repair.

Reduced moisture retention causes dryness and dehydration Other changes occur in the skin matrix too, some of which lead to a decline in its ability to retain moisture. To counter this, make sure you consume around eight glasses of water each day, and regularly treat your skin to a rich moisturiser like Ageless Skin Q10 Night Cream (see page 84).

sun-related free radical or oxidative damage will impact your skin’s appearance over time. Protect your skin from further UV damage by avoiding prolonged sun exposure, wearing hats and protective clothing, and using sunscreen when needed. Consume plenty of antioxidants too – they help protect the cells from free radical damage. Vitamin C is a great example, and also contributes to healthy collagen production. The world’s richestknown source of vitamin C is Kakadu plum, a bush tucker plant that’s native to monsoonal regions of northern Australia. Other skin-friendly superfoods that provide valuable antioxidants include sea buckthorn, acai berry, beetroot and turmeric. *Adapted from: Gelita.

BIOTIN BOOSTS HAIR AND NAIL GROWTH Biotin is one of the B-group vitamins but is sometimes referred to as vitamin H as it improves the growth, strength and thickness of the hair and helps maintain the health of the hair follicles. It also aids the growth of the nails, helps keep them strong, and decreases splitting, chipping and brittleness. Foods that are naturally rich in biotin include fish, meat (especially organ meats), sunflower seeds and sweet potato. Eggs are also a good source of biotin, but it’s important to be aware that raw egg whites contain a protein that inhibits biotin absorption, so avoid consuming those too often.

GLORIOUS GRAPE SEED: RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS Grapes are one of the most widely cultivated foods in the world. They’re consumed as fresh fruit, dried fruit like raisins and sultanas, and are used to make jam, vinegar – and of course wine! Even the seeds can be put to good use. Grape seed skin is one of the richest known sources of a specific group of antioxidants called oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Thanks to its high levels of OPCs, grape seed extract supports the body’s own antioxidant defence system, helps reduce the formation of free radicals in the body (for example due to pollution exposure or normal metabolic activity), and supports general health and wellbeing.

Hair Skin & Nails Nutrition combines vitamins, minerals and herbs to provide a nutritional boost for healthy skin, strong nails and thick hair from the inside out.

MEN’S HEALTH

HERBAL TONICS FOR MEN Between work, home, family and social commitments, most men have a lot on their plates. So, which herbs can you take to help you perform at your best, in all areas of your life? Start with withania (ashwagandha) and Korean ginseng. Withania relieves stress symptoms and supports healthy sexual function Also known as ashwagandha, withania has an extensive history of traditional use for supporting men’s wellbeing in Ayurvedic medicine, where it’s regarded as a ‘royal herb’ because of its benefits for multiple aspects of health. Among other uses, withania is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to supports men’s healthy libido and sexual function. It also maintains the health of the sperm and supports their ability to swim (motility). At Australian NaturalCare, we choose to use a specific withania extract called KSM-66®, which has been the subject of scientific research, including a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study in which it was found to relieve stress symptoms by 64% (compared to only 10.4% improvement in study participants who took a placebo supplement)*. Korean ginseng supports energy and stamina Korean ginseng is another herb that has lots to offer men who want to perform at their best. It supports vitality, cognitive function and stamina. In Western herbal medicine, it’s also traditionally used to support energy levels. In the bedroom, Korean ginseng has long been used to maintain men’s sexual function in traditional Chinese medicine. It also helps maintain a healthy libido, and supports men’s sperm health and testosterone levels.

Like withania, Korean ginseng helps decrease symptoms of stress and support healthy stress responses in the body. It also helps build the body’s ability to adapt to and cope with stressful situations, based on its traditional use in Western herbal medicine. *Reference: Chandrasekhar, K. et al.

HEALTHY LIBIDO SUPPORT

LIBIDO-LOVIN’ HERBS People have traditionally used herbs to support healthy sexual function for centuries in all corners of the globe. Here are some to consider if your libido could do with some lovin’.

Tired or stressed? It stands to reason that your sex drive isn’t likely to be at its highest if you’re feeling stressed or fatigued.

Herbs to support healthy libido Herbs that support healthy libido and sexual functioning include:

If that’s something you’re going through, consider taking Korean ginseng, which relieves fatigue and supports energy levels, physical endurance and vitality.

• Fenugreek, based on its traditional use in Western herbal medicine • Horny goat weed, Korean ginseng and cordyceps, based on their traditional use in Chinese medicine

FORMULA

• Tribulus, based on its traditional use in Ayurvedic medicine

TESTOFEN & HORNY GOAT WEED

• Damiana, based on its traditional use in Mexican medicine The role of testosterone in male libido Testosterone is present in both men and women, but is predominantly known for the many roles it plays in men’s wellbeing, which include maintaining healthy sex drive and sperm production. Men’s levels of testosterone drop as they get older, and declining levels may be associated with changes in libido and sexual function. Testofen® supports men’s testosterone levels In a randomised, double-blind clinical study published in the medical journal The Aging Male*, a specific standardised fenugreek extract called Testofen® was shown to support men’s testosterone levels and to have benefits for several aspects of sex drive and sexual function. The participants in this research were healthy men aged 43 to 70 years old, who took either Testofen® or a placebo supplement for 12 weeks. Other herbs that support men’s testosterone levels include Korean ginseng and tribulus.

Korean ginseng also supports the body in responding to stress in a healthy way. Additionally, it’s traditionally used to improve the body’s ability to adapt to and cope with stress.

Testofen® Fenugreek extract is an aphrodisiac and supports healthy sexual function in men. Horny goat weed also supports healthy sexual function. This formula also contains traditionally used libido-support herbs from around the world: Korean ginseng and cordyceps from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), tribulus from Ayurvedic medicine, and damiana from traditional Mexican medicine. Korean ginseng also supports physical endurance and helps maintain sperm health and testosterone levels in men; in TCM, it’s traditionally used as a tonic to replenish men’s Qi (life force energy). 60 film coated tablets Order Code 4170 1 bottle $39.95 2 bottles $69.90 SAVE $10.00 CLUB 4 $29.95 SAVE $10.00 Each film coated tablet contains: Trigonella foenum-graceum (Testofen® Fenugreek) ext. dry conc. 150mg from 4.95g (4950mg) dry seed, Epimedium sagittatum (Horny goat weed) ext. dry conc. 37.5mg from 750mg dry herb top, Panax ginseng (Korean ginseng) ext. dry conc. 250mg from 750mg dry root, Tribulus terrestris (tribulus) ext. dry conc. 150mg from 7.5g (7500mg) dry fruit, Cordyceps sinensis (cordyceps) ext. dry conc. 150mg from 750mg dry hyphae, Turnera diffusa (damiana) ext. dry conc. 150mg from 1.5g (1500mg) dry leaf, Zingiber officinale (ginger) ext. dry conc. 25mg from 500mg dry root.

MULTI VITAMINS

FOOD SOURCES OF KEY VITAMINS AND MINERALS VITAMIN D

VITAMIN A AND BETACAROTENE

Vitamin A is obtained in small amounts from oily fish and full-fat dairy products like butter and cream, however orange-coloured fruit and vegetables are rich in betacarotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body.

You get a little bit of vitamin D when you eat fatty fish and dairy foods, but sunlight is a better source! Aim to expose some of your skin to the sun for at least a few minutes every day, and longer during winter (unless you live somewhere that has consistent levels of sunlight all year round).

VITAMIN C

IRON, ZINC AND B VITAMINS

Citrus fruits are famous for their vitamin C content, but capsicums and chilli are also very rich sources of this important antioxidant and immunesupporting nutrient.

Meat, poultry and seafood are all valuable sources of B-group vitamins, iron and zinc. Legumes and wholegrains also provide a range of these nutrients, making them essential food groups for all of us – but especially for people who are vegetarian or vegan.

ARE YOU MISSING OUT ON ANY OF THESE NUTRIENTS?

FOLIC ACID

The best dietary sources of folate? Leafy green vegetables, like spinach, broccoli and cabbage.

MULTI VITAMINS & MINERALS

Taking a multivitamin helps prevent dietary deficiencies of important nutrients like vitamins C, D and B12, which support general health and wellbeing.

FORMULA

A balanced multivitamin formulated to help prevent nutritional deficiencies and support general health and wellbeing. Vitamin C and zinc help stimulate healthy immune cell responses and have antioxidant properties to help reduce free radical damage to body cells. B-group vitamins support healthy energy levels and additionally, folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 aid in the production of healthy red blood cells. Vitamin D supports healthy muscle function, including muscle contraction. This one-a-day formula is suitable for both men and women, and is a small tablet that’s easy to swallow.

WHICH NUTRIENTS DO WOMEN NEED? While women’s diets in Australia tend to be slightly better than those of men1, there’s still plenty of room for improvement. Do you avoid certain food groups? CSIRO data1 indicates that many Australian women actively avoid eating food groups like dairy products, meat or gluten-containing grains either for health or ethical reasons, or purely due to their taste preferences. While avoiding certain foods can be a valuable health strategy (especially if your health professional has recommended you do so), it can also make it more difficult for you to consume the nutrients you require. Taking a multivitamin is a simple way to make sure those basic nutritional needs are covered, every single day. B vitamins for energy production and nervous system function The B-group vitamins help convert the fats, carbohydrates and proteins in your diet into energy that your body can use as a fuel source, and also support healthy nervous system function. In particular, vitamins B5 and B6 support healthy stress responses in the body and the body’s recovery after periods of stress. Unfortunately, more than a third of adult Australian women in all age groups don’t obtain the recommended amounts of vitamin B6 from their diets2, so consider topping up your dietary intake with a multivitamin. Iodine and selenium support thyroid health The trace minerals iodine and selenium are important for supporting healthy function of the thyroid gland, an issue that becomes increasingly important for many women from mid-life onwards. Antioxidants decrease free radical damage We’re all exposed to free radical-generating factors like pollution and UV rays on a daily basis in Australia, and your body’s best defence against

them is the network of antioxidants that are consumed in your diet and produced by your body. Zinc and vitamin C are important antioxidants, and along with vitamin E, help to reduce the formation of free radicals in the body and decrease their ability to damage the cells. Also consider grape seed for additional antioxidant support. References: 1. CSIRO. CSIRO Healthy diet score 2016 2. Australian Bureau of Statistics, Food Standards Australia New Zealand.

WHAT SHOULD MEN LOOK FOR IN A MULTI? Men in Australia are prone to neglecting their diets, with the vast majority not consuming fruit and vegetables in recommended quantities1,2.

Magnesium is required for healthy muscle function, and especially to enable muscles to contract in a healthy way.

On the other hand, many men consume excessive amounts of so-called ‘discretionary’ foods and beverages, which typically supply lots of calories, but little or no nutritional value. Think soft drinks, biscuits, chips and takeaway food!2

If you’re one of the vast majority of men who’s been neglecting their diets, it’s time to start filling your plate with fresh produce, wholegrains, legumes, lean proteins and healthy sources of fat. At the same time, taking a broad-spectrum multivitamin supplement can support your health and wellbeing in numerous ways. Make sure the multi you choose contains the following important ingredients. Vitamin C If you’ve been skimping on fresh fruit and veggies, your dietary intake may be lacking in antioxidant nutrients like vitamin C, which help decrease the formation of free radicals in the body, and the cellular damage that they can cause. Vitamin C also helps produce healthy connective tissue and supports wound healing, plus works with zinc, selenium and vitamin D to help stimulate healthy immune system responses. B-group vitamins B-group vitamins like vitamins B1, B5, B6 and B12 are required for many of the biochemical processes that enable your body to convert the proteins, carbohydrates and fats in your food into energy. Minerals – zinc and magnesium Zinc helps maintain testosterone production and supports men’s healthy sexual function, libido and sperm health.

NUTRIENTS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT Most people are aware of the big-name nutrients like vitamin C and calcium, but many lesser-known nutrients play essential roles in human health too. Read on to discover a few that you may not be familiar with.

Alpha lipoic acid – a unique antioxidant that aids healthy ageing In contrast to other antioxidants, alpha lipoic acid can perform its free-radical quenching actions on both water-soluble and fat-soluble free radicals.

Chromium, glucose and carbohydrates Chromium isn’t just used to create high-shine decorative elements for cars and trucks. In a different chemical form, it’s also found in your diet! This essential mineral is used by the body to help transport glucose out of the blood and into your cells and is also needed for the metabolism of carbohydrates (sugars).

Like chromium, alpha lipoic acid is also involved in the cellular uptake of glucose. It may help healthy people keep their blood glucose levels within the normal range.

Selenium supports healthy thyroid gland function - and more Selenium supports health and wellbeing in multiple ways, including maintaining the health of the immune system, male reproductive system, thyroid gland and thyroid hormones. It also has antioxidant properties to reduce the formation of free radicals and inhibit their ability to damage the cells of the body.

In particular, Alpha lipoic acid is considered beneficial for assisting with healthy ageing. Lysine – the cold sore sufferer’s best friend! If you suffer from cold sores, you need to know about lysine! When taken regularly, this essential amino acid may help reduce the frequency of cold sore outbreaks on the face, and help relieve the burning and tingling symptoms associated with them. Lysine also supports healthy functioning of the immune system.

VITAMIN D – ESSENTIAL FOR MORE THAN JUST YOUR BONES Vitamin D is best known for the key role it plays in maintaining bone health, where it helps to support the strength of the skeleton. But this vital nutrient supports health in lots of other ways too. Supporting calcium absorption and balance The calcium in your bones moves into the bloodstream (serum) and back again on a regular basis. Vitamin D helps make sure that your serum calcium levels are appropriate at all times, in part by enhancing calcium absorption in the gut. It also promotes bone mineralisation - the process in which calcium is incorporated into the bones, enabling them to effectively act as a bank that calcium can be deposited into and withdrawn from as needed by the body.

to be involved in maintaining a number of different aspects of cardiovascular system function. Muscle maintenance Alongside its role in supporting bone and cardiovascular system health, vitamin D is important for maintaining the healthy functioning of the skeletal muscles and the heart muscle (myocardium). This aspect of its function may be particularly important for older people, whose muscle function often declines with age. Immune health Vitamin D also supports the healthy functioning of the immune system in several ways. For example, it has a regulating effect on certain types of immune cells.

Cardiovascular system health Maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D supports the health of the cardiovascular system, which comprises the heart and the blood vessels. It appears

Selenium is an antioxidant that reduces free radicals formed in the body and helps decrease free radical damage to body cells. In healthy adults, it supports the health of the thyroid gland and aids in the production of healthy thyroid hormones. Selenium also plays important roles in maintaining the health of the male reproductive system and providing preconception care for healthy men by supporting the production of healthy sperm and maintaining sperm motility (mobility).

Among many other functions, vitamin D supports bone health by maintaining the strength and mineralisation of the bones, and by aiding the absorption of calcium (dietary deficiency of which can lead to osteoporosis in later life). It also maintains healthy functioning of the immune system, cardiovascular system and muscles, and supports general health and wellbeing. Vitamin D is considered especially important for those whose skin is not regularly exposed to sunlight.

VITAMIN K1 AND VITAMIN K2 – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? There are two different forms of vitamin K. Vitamin K1 is found in green leafy vegetables and is best known for its role in blood clotting. However, it’s vitamin K2 (also known as Menaquinone 7) that’s emerging as an important nutrient for supporting bones. With the exception of some fermented dairy products and the Japanese dish natto (fermented soya beans), there are few dietary sources of vitamin K2, which is why supplementation is increasingly popular for those looking to maintain their bone and blood health.

VITAMIN K2 180MCG Vitamin K2 helps support bone mineralisation and maintains bone health. It also supports blood health, while helping to maintain your general health and wellbeing.

WHAT IS ACTIVATED VITAMIN B12? Much of the vitamin B12 in your diet is converted to the active form methylcobalamin or mecobalamin by your body, and this ‘activated’ form of vitamin B12 is responsible for many of the nutrient’s physiological functions. Taking a supplement containing mecobalamin (rather than the more commonly found cyanocobalamin) means your body can skip this processing step and make immediate use of this important nutrient, which is required for supporting energy levels, cognitive function and cardiovascular and immune system health. Taking activated vitamin B12 may be particularly beneficial for vegans and vegetarians, whose dietary intake of vitamin B12 is typically low.

ACTIVATED B12 1000MCG Activated B12 supports energy levels, cognitive function and general mental wellbeing, and the healthy function of the immune and nervous systems. In the cardiovascular system, it supports heart health, aids the production of healthy red blood cells and helps reduce levels of homocysteine (low levels of which support healthy cardiovascular system function). Activated B12 1000mcg is a chewable, strawberry-flavoured tablet that supports general health and wellbeing and helps prevent dietary deficiency of vitamin B12.

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 is a potent antioxidant that assists healthy ageing. It has the unique ability to act on both water-soluble and fat-soluble free radicals, and in addition to its own antioxidant activity, works to regenerate other antioxidants, including vitamin E, vitamin C and glutathione. Alpha Lipoic Acid is also involved in glucose metabolism and the uptake of glucose into the cells, so it helps healthy people to maintain normal blood sugar levels.

MEN MISSING OUT ON ZINC

ZINC PLUS

More than 27% of 14-18 year-old males in Australia get inadequate quantities of zinc from their diets. From then on, their likelihood of dietary deficiency progressively increases as they get older, so by the time they’re in their 70s, more than two-thirds of men are not obtaining the recommended amounts of zinc from their daily diets. What should you eat for extra zinc? Shellfish, fish, meat and eggs are the best dietary sources of this important mineral. Although it’s also found in wholegrains, nuts and seeds, it isn’t as readily absorbed from them. Reference: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Food Standards Australia New Zealand. Australian Health Survey: Usual nutrient intakes 2011-12. Commonwealth of Australia, 2015

Zinc is an antioxidant that has numerous functions in the body, including helping to maintain healthy immune system function, supporting wound healing and skin repair, and helping to relieve symptoms of acne. It supports women’s healthy hormone balance and reproductive system health. In men, it maintains a healthy testosterone level and supports healthy prostate function and the production and motility (mobility) of healthy sperm. Australian NaturalCare’s Zinc Plus combines 15mg zinc per tablet with vitamin B6, betacarotene and the minerals magnesium, manganese and copper.

LYSINE 1000

Ginkgo biloba is the world’s oldest living tree species, having survived for over 200 million years. It assists in the maintenance of peripheral circulation, that is, the blood flow to the arms, hands, legs and feet. Consequently, it helps to relieve cold hands and feet. Ginkgo also has antioxidant properties and helps to maintain general health and wellbeing.

NEW LABEL COMING EARLY 2020

Lysine 1000 helps relieve cold sore symptoms, including pain, burning and itching and helps reduce both the severity of cold sore outbreaks and their healing time. Lysine may also help reduce the recurrence of cold sore outbreaks and reduce their frequency. It works by interfering with the absorption of the amino acid arginine. The Herpes simplex virus that causes cold sores requires arginine in large quantities for replication. Increasing your intake of lysine alters the ratio of lysine and arginine and helps inhibit replication of the virus.

COLD RELIEF

HERBS AND NUTRIENTS FOR IMMUNE SUPPORT AND THE COMMON COLD Colds are an unfortunate fact of life – most adults catch at least a couple each year. No wonder they’re known as the ‘common’ cold! Whether you’re keen to support your immune system, or are already suffering and want some relief, here’s a quick overview of specific herbs and nutrients that may be able to help. Vitamin C Vitamin C is probably the first nutrient you think of when it comes to your immune health. It helps stimulate healthy immune responses and reduce the frequency of common colds. And if you’ve already caught one, taking vitamin C can help decrease the severity of your symptoms and reduce your recovery time.

HOT TIP

If you’ve got a sensitive stomach, look for a formula containing mineral ascorbates (like calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate and potassium ascorbate), which are non-acidic forms of vitamin C.

maintaining the integrity of these tissues, and thus provides nutritional support for immune function. Echinacea Echinacea supports the body’s natural immune responses via a number of different mechanisms, such as stimulating phagocytosis – the process in which white blood cells engulf or ‘gobble up’ invading cells. It helps relieve symptoms of common colds and shorten their duration. Andrographis Andrographis is traditionally used to support vitality in Ayurvedic medicine. It also helps to support healthy immune system function and reduces the symptoms of common colds and flu.

HOT TIP

For optimal results, keep some andrographis in your medicine cabinet so that you can start taking it as quickly as possible after you feel symptoms of a cold coming on.

Vitamin A The mucous membranes that line your nose, throat and mouth are an integral part of your immune defence mechanisms, acting as a barrier that inhibits microbes and foreign particles from entering your body. Vitamin A plays a key role in

Horseradish relieves mucous congestion of the sinuses and nasal passages, and is traditionally used to relieve catarrh in the respiratory tract in Western herbal medicine.

HORSERADISH FOR NASAL CONGESTION Horseradish has been used as both a food and a medicine for centuries, and was even mentioned by the famous Greek physician Dioscorides in a herbal reference book published around 60 AD. When horseradish root is chopped or crushed, compounds called sinigrin and myrosin come into contact with each other to form a pungent volatile oil. The volatile oil gives horseradish the characteristic hot and spicy flavour that makes your nose run when you eat it and is also considered responsible for the herb’s ability to provide temporary relief from nasal congestion when taken medicinally.

TRADITIONAL LIVER HEALTH SUPPORT

GET TO KNOW YOUR LIVER

You may not think about your liver very often, but it performs many vital roles in your body and is deserving of your care and attention. Here are some of the most important things for you to know about it.

Your body’s primary detoxification centre From environmental pollutants to by-products of your own metabolism, your body regularly encounters substances that have the potential to do it harm.

Liver facts and figures Your liver is one of your largest and busiest body organs, weighing in at around 1.5 kilograms (in a healthy person) and is involved in around 500 physical functions.

Your liver’s sophisticated detoxification processes render many such substances harmless and facilitates their removal from the body via your faeces.

Unlike other internal organs, your liver has the capacity to regenerate itself! After damage or injury, liver cells (called hepatocytes) go into self-renewal mode in order to maintain the liver’s ability to perform its many important functions. Enables you to digest fats The liver is essential for the metabolism of fats in your diet. It produces bile, which acts on fats in the bloodstream, making them smaller and easier for enzymes to digest. (This process is called emulsification and is similar to the effect that dishwashing detergent has on fatty leftovers on your dirty plates).

How can you look after your liver? A nutritious diet lays the foundation for a healthy liver. Prioritise fresh, antioxidant-rich fruit and veggies (organic where possible) and small-tomoderate quantities of healthy fats and oils. At the same time, minimise your intake of alcohol and unhealthy fats (like deep-fried food). Milk thistle: traditional liver tonic Milk thistle has a long history of use in Western herbal medicine, where it’s traditionally taken to support liver functions like fat digestion and the production and flow of bile. It’s also traditionally used to support the liver’s capacity for healthy detoxification and regeneration.

LIVER CARE MILK THISTLE 13000MG

HERBAL FAT METABOLISER

Milk thistle is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support healthy liver function and the liver’s natural detoxification processes. It’s been used as a hepatoprotectant and liver tonic as well as to enhance healthy digestion, aid in the breakdown of dietary fat, relieve the symptoms of indigestion and promote bile secretion in traditional Western herbal medicine.

The liver plays a key role in the metabolism of fats, so Herbal Fat Metaboliser contains milk thistle and schisandra to support healthy liver function, including the liver’s natural cleansing and detoxification processes. Gentian and dandelion root are traditionally used in Western herbal medicine as bitter tonics that stimulate gastric secretions and have also been used in traditional Western herbal medicine to support bile production and to promote bile flow from the liver (bile is required for the breakdown of fat). Herbal Fat Metaboliser also contains B-group vitamins, which help convert fats consumed in the diet into energy that the body can use as a source of fuel.

PROBIOTICS

YOU AND YOUR GUT

Collectively referred to as the microflora or microbiome, the beneficial organisms that reside in your body (and especially your gut) play a key role in your wellbeing by producing certain vitamins and amino acids, aiding digestive function and supporting immune health1,2. What affects gut microflora health? A healthy microbiome consists of a diverse range of probiotic species, but their balance can be affected by several different factors, including your age, medication use and diet1. For example, eating a varied diet (especially one rich in fruits, vegetable and fibre) has been shown to result in a wider diversity of probiotic species than predominantly eating the same foods over and over again or eating diets laden with fats, sugar or animal products2. Which probiotic strains are right for you? A healthy microbiome consists of a diverse variety of microbial species, so a probiotic supplement that’s intended to support microflora balance, healthy digestive function and general health and wellbeing should provide a range of probiotic strains too.

PROBIOTIC 32 BILLION

FORMULA

Probiotic 32 Billion contains six strains of bowel-friendly probiotic bacteria providing a total of 32 billion organisms to help maintain gastrointestinal system health, digestive function and the health of the gut microflora. This formula includes clinically researched probiotic strains, including HOWARU® Bifidobacterium lactis (HN019), which supports a healthy balance of intestinal microflora1 and healthy immune system function2, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG to relieve symptoms of medically diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)3.

Good examples to look for include Lactobacillus species such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. plantarum Lp-115 and L. reuterii Pylopass™, and Bifidobacterium species such as Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 and B. animalis spp. lactis Bi-04 In contrast, if you’re taking a probiotic supplement to target a specific health issue, you may benefit from taking particular probiotic strains. For example, the probiotics L. rhamnosus GG and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Boulardii), often referred to as SB, are specifically indicated for the relief of some symptoms of medically diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). SB may also help reduce antibiotic-related diarrhoea and traveller’s diarrhoea. References: 1. Cresci GA, Bawden E. Nutr Clin Pract, 2015;30(6):734-46 2. Singh RK, et al. J Transl Med, 2017;15(1):73

FEELING SICK? TRY GINGER From China to the Caribbean and India to Australia, ginger is enjoyed around the world as a culinary spice. It makes its way into all manner of dishes including curries, stir fries, soups, puddings and even marmalade! Ginger has also been used medicinally for a wide variety of conditions in many of the world’s herbal traditions. For example, in Western herbal medicine, it’s traditionally taken to help relieve symptoms as diverse as period pain and cough, as well as to ease stomach upsets and digestive discomfort. However, ginger’s best-known therapeutic application is for the relief of nausea and vomiting, including the symptoms of morning sickness and travel sickness. How does ginger work against nausea? Ginger contains more than 400 individual compounds1. Of those, compounds called gingerols and shogaols are thought to be primarily responsible for its anti-nausea actions, but other constituents may be involved too. In Western herbal medicine, its nausea-relieving activity is traditionally considered at least partially due to its antispasmodic effects on the digestive system2. A special note about morning sickness Morning sickness is the most common cause of nausea and vomiting worldwide, and four out of five pregnant women experience it to some degree, usually during their first trimester. A review of scientific studies published in the journal Food Science and Nutrition in 2019

concluded that taking ginger is an effective way to relieve the symptoms for many women who are affected1. References: 1. Nikkhah Bodagh, M. et al. Food Sci Nut 2019;7(1):96-108 2. Gruenwald J, et al, (eds). PDR for Herbal Medicines, 4th ed. Montvale, NJ: Thomson, 2007, pp 365-70

AUSTRALIAN DIET LACKING IN FIBRE

NEW LABEL

BOWEL HEALTH TRIPLE ACTION

Does your diet contain enough fibre? In Australia, men and women are recommended to consume a minimum of 30g and 25g of fibre per day respectively to support digestive health, but to aim for higher intakes – 38g per day for men and 28g for women – in order to maintain optimal health. However, most of us aren’t getting enough fibre in our diets. More than 70% of adults in Australia consume diets that don’t provide the minimum fibre recommendations, and fewer than one in five of us is reaching the optimal health targets*.

COMING EARLY 2020

FORMULA

Bowel Health Triple Action combines three sources of soluble dietary fibre to help maintain a healthy digestive system: psyllium husk, pectin and flaxseed powder. Since soluble types of fibre like psyllium bind to water in the gut, they increase the bulk of the bowel movements, decrease the time they take to pass through the bowel, and make them easier to pass. Fibre also provides nourishment for and helps to maintain the health of the intestinal microflora, which is important for healthy digestive function.

SLIPPERY ELM 400MG

STOMACH CARE PLUS

Slippery elm is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to relieve the symptoms of gastrointestinal inflammation and diarrhoea, neutralise stomach acidity and soothe the digestive tract. Its soothing properties are due to its content of mucilage, a gummy substance that forms a gel-like layer on the surface of gastrointestinal mucous membranes it comes into contact with, helping to decrease local irritation. Slippery elm also increases stool bulk to help maintain bowel regularity.

Stomach Care Plus is a professionally formulated blend of herbs traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to help maintain healthy digestive system function. In Western herbal medicine, ginger and fennel are traditionally used to help relieve symptoms of indigestion, chamomile and peppermint to help relieve flatulence, and marshmallow to soothe gastrointestinal tract mucous membranes. Ginger also helps relieve nausea.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

HERBAL SUPPORT FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT Achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight has widespread benefits for health and wellbeing, so should be a core focus of your overall health goals. Healthy weight management is best achieved through a combination of diet and exercise measures. That usually means sticking to a caloriecontrolled diet, and exercising at a moderate level of intensity on most days of the week but always check with your health professional before you start, and follow their specific advice. If you’re keen to top up your weight loss or weight management efforts with some herbal support, consider these ingredients: Coleus Coleus is also known as Plectranthus barbatus, and was previously known as Coleus forskohlii. At Australian NaturalCare, we use a coleus extract called ForsLean®, which is standardised to provide consistent levels of the compound forskohlin. When taken with a healthy diet and regular exercise, ForsLean® helps maintain a healthy body weight and aids in the maintenance of lean body mass (the proportion of your overall body weight that’s composed of lean tissue rather than fat). Green tea In addition to having antioxidant properties that help reduce free radical damage to body cells, green tea can help keep body weight and lean body mass in the healthy range when taken with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. Garcinia Garcinia helps regulate appetite and maintain a healthy body weight (when consumed as recommended, with a healthy diet and in combination with regular exercise).

78

At Australian NaturalCare, we use a garcinia extract standardised for its levels of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is believed to play an important role in garcinia’s actions. Gymnema Gymnema also helps regulate appetite. It’s an Ayurvedic herb, and its traditional name gurmar means ‘sugar destroyer’ – referencing its ability to temporarily reduce the perception of sweetness on the taste buds.

RAPID FAT BURNER PLUS

FORMULA

Rapid Fat Burner Plus contains ForsLean® (an exclusive patented extract of the herb coleus) and green tea to help you maintain healthy lean body mass (body composition) and a healthy body weight when taken in conjunction with a healthy calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise. Also present are the herbs gymnema and garcinia, which help to regulate appetite, plus globe artichoke to support liver health and the healthy production and flow of bile (which is involved in the body’s metabolism and assimilation of fats).

BLOOD VESSEL HEALTH SUPPORT

4 TIPS FOR HAPPIER VARICOSE VEINS

Varicose veins become more common as we get older, and can be associated with symptoms like pain, swelling, itching and feelings of heaviness or tiredness in the legs. If you’re affected, these tips might help!

1

Counter the effects of gravity The veins in your legs are equipped with oneway valves that open to allow the blood to move upwards, but close to prevent it from travelling back down again. Varicose veins develop when the valves don’t close properly, allowing the blood to pool. To help counter the effects of gravity: • Lie with your feet elevated above the level of your heart for about 15 minutes at a time • Try wearing compression stockings that help prevent the blood in your legs from moving downwards • Avoid long periods of standing, which are associated with the development of varicose veins and are also prone to exacerbating the symptoms

WHAT CAUSES VARICOSE VEINS?

2 3

Exercise regularly Maintaining a regular exercise routine may benefit varicose veins by helping improve your circulation and the muscle tone in the affected area. Eat lots of fibre Did you know that your toilet habits can affect your varicose veins? Straining to pass a bowel motion puts pressure on the venous system, so make sure you’re eating a fibre-rich diet and drinking plenty of water so that you go to the toilet regularly and easily.

4

Try horse chestnut, butcher’s broom and gotu kola The herbs horse chestnut, butcher’s broom and gotu kola help relieve the symptoms associated with mild varicose veins, including pain, itching, swelling, heaviness and tiredness of the legs. They can also help decrease their unsightly appearance. Before starting any new exercises or physical regimes, please speak to your doctor or health professional.

VARICOSE VEIN & HAEMORRHOID RELIEF

The veins in your legs need to fight the effects of gravity in order to send deoxygenated blood back to your heart, so they’re equipped with one-way valves that open to allow the blood to move upwards, but close to prevent it from travelling back down towards your feet again. Varicose veins develop when the valves in the veins near the surface of the legs fail to close properly, allowing the blood to pool. Over time, the affected veins become engorged with blood, which leads to the characteristic twisted and knobbly appearance of mild varicose veins and their associated symptoms, which can include pain, swelling, itching and feelings of heaviness or tiredness in the legs.

Varicose Vein & Haemorrhoid Relief combines the herbs horse chestnut, butcher’s broom and gotu kola, which help relieve the symptoms associated with mild varicose veins. They help to reduce the aching, tired legs and leg heaviness associated with mild varicose veins, and also help relieve the symptoms of haemorrhoids (including itching and swelling) and maintain blood vessel and capillary health.

SUPERFOODS

WHAT MAKES A SUPERFOOD SUPER? Since there’s no official definition of exactly what a superfood is, the term sometimes leads to confusion and even controversy. One school of thought says that no single food should be regarded as more ‘super’ than any other and that we should instead focus on consuming a diet that’s healthy across the board. It’s certainly true that the healthiest eating style is one that draws on a wide variety of natural foods and thus provides you with an abundance of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. But here at Australian NaturalCare, we firmly believe that some foods are superheroes when it comes to their impact on your wellbeing, either because they over-deliver on nutritional value or because their health benefits go above and beyond those of other foods. You’ll find some of our favourite examples on these very pages: Cherries and sweet cherry juice: Cherries and their juice are naturally rich in antioxidants, and like other dark red- and purple-coloured fruit, that includes the anti-inflammatory compounds called anthocyanins. Goji berries and goji juice: Goji berries have a long history of use as both a medicinal herb and an energising therapeutic food in China. If the crunchy dried berries aren’t to your taste, add the juice to a smoothie instead, or drink it straight from the spoon.

80

Spirulina: Spirulina is a nutritional godsend, offering an extensive range of vitamins, minerals and amino acids in every gram. Manuka honey: Thanks to its content of methylglyoxal (MGO), Manuka honey has more potent antibacterial properties than many other kinds of honey.

SWEET CHERRY JUICE Australian NaturalCare’s Sweet Cherry Juice is a delicious and refreshing way to get your day off to a great start. Cherry juice is packed with nutrients, including antioxidants such as vitamin C, quercetin and anthocyanins. It’s also a good source of B-group vitamins, calcium, potassium and fibre. Each litre of Australian NaturalCare’s Sweet Cherry Juice is made from more than a kilogram of fresh crushed cherries grown in Young, NSW, and is free from concentrate, preservatives, flavours, colours and sugars. 250ml Order Code 8889 1 bottle $9.95 2 bottles $16.90 SAVE $3.00 CLUB 4 $5.50 SAVE $4.45 1 litre Order Code 9063 1 bottle $29.95 2 bottles $49.90 SAVE $10.00 CLUB 4 $13.95 SAVE $16.00 Ingredients: Pasteurised Australian sweet cherry juice (100%).

AUSTRALIAN NATURALCARE 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 THE INSIDE OUT

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.

NAILKALM®

FUNGAL NAIL DERMACEUTICAL LOTION nailKALM® is an anti-fungal agent, that is clinically proven to provide effective treatment and care for unsightly toenails prone to fungal infections. nailKALM® contains a powerful natural ingredient called AMYCOT®, derived from Arthrospira maxima (Spirulina), a naturally occurring micro algae (cyanobacterium). Unlike the majority of fungal nail products which only inhibit the growth of skin and nail fungus, AMYCOT® actually kills the fungus by destroying the chitin/chitosan polymers found in the fungal cell wall, causing it to collapse and die. nailKALM® also stimulates the growth of skin cells such as keratinocytes helping to enhance skin, nail and hair growth. ✓ 100% organic, non-toxic active ingredient (AMYCOT®) ✓ Gentle on sensitive skin ✓ 100% Australian made ✓ No need to file the nail ✓ Non-toxic and non-sensitising

Propolis has a long history of traditional use in Western herbal medicine to maintain and support* general wellbeing, oral mucous membrane health and healthy immune system function. It is also used to improve healing of minor skin wounds including cuts, scratches and abrasions. Australian Native Bee Propolis Extract from Native Beeings is a unique form of organic, richly bioactive propolis produced by native Australian bees. Australia has over 1,600 native bee species (Apidae Meliponini). These delightful little creatures play a vital role in pollinating our crops and our unique wildflowers and bushland. Native Beeings place their hives in pristine Australian bush and rainforest environments from where the native bees venture out to forage and collect resins, bud oils and plant saps from a wide range of trees and plants. Small quantities of the propolis they produce are then collected by the beekeepers in a nonintrusive, sustainable way. The fresh, raw propolis is combined with a vegetable (non-palm) organic glycerine to produce a liquid propolis extract which is dense, rich and complex with a pleasant taste. It tastes quite different to European honey bee propolis extracts which are often bitter and alcoholic-tasting.

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.

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.

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.

ä Stasher bags are highly durable and endlessly reusable. Use them for cooking, storage and taking lunches to work or school

ä Stasher bags are safe for use in the microwave, with a sous vide machine, a standard oven, or in a saucepan of boiling water ä They can be used in the fridge, freezer, a UV steriliser and the dishwasher ä The patented pinch-press silicone seal is air-tight, so no leakages ä Stasher silicone is non-porous, inhibiting bacterial growth and odours ä Silicone is made from natural resources (mainly sand) and doesn’t deteriorate like plastic ä Stasher silicone is non-toxic and odourless, BPA free with no fillers or pthalates ä As an added bonus, the sandwich size bag is very handy when flying as the transparent silicone means the contents are clearly visible when going through airport security

Sleep Soundly with A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP A Good Night’s Sleep contains the herbs California poppy, which has traditionally been used in Native American medicine to relieve sleeplessness, and ziziphus, which is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to support healthy sleeping patterns. See page 48 for more detail

Thank you, thank you.... I purchased your A Good Night's Sleep and wow... I feel refreshed, alert and definitely not groggy in the morning. I have been a troubled sleeper for many years and had got to the stage where I thought, ‘This is my life, functioning on three or four hours of sleep - and usually not good sleep’. I saw your ad on television and thought, ‘Why not?’ I am so pleased I did. I have tried many different products, but the results I have got from your products are amazing. And... I am only taking one tablet at night. One very, very happy customer. Thanks again.
