Support your skin from within

As we age, skin hydration and moisture become compromised as collagen levels naturally decline. Collagen provides the building blocks to support the skin's elasticity, aids in reducing the visible signs of aging, while supporting the natural appearance of healthy hair and nails.

It is hard to know how much collagen you are getting from your diet and whether it’s enough, so regular supplementation with collagen is ideal to support the health of your skin, nails and hair.

Lighthouse Collagen Support with Hyaluronic Acid works synergistically to support and strengthen the skin's natural ability to hydrate, helping maintain your glow.

No ordinary honey

Comvita’s Mānuka honey lozenges are the super-powered, natural option to soothe throats and chests. Made with natural potent ingredients, UMF™ 10+ New Zealand Mānuka honey and propolis, these lozenges are perfect for dry, tickly throats. Unlike other lozenges, Comvita lozenges are free from synthetic nasties, and artificial colours and flavours.

Comvita Mānuka honey is from nectar grown in remote, unspoiled parts of New Zealand. Comvita’s founders were the first to recognize the protective power of Mānuka honey and were the first to take Mānuka honey to the world. Because of our obsession with quality and purity, it is the worlds most trusted Mānuka honey.

In addition to UMF™ 10+ Mānuka honey, 3 of the Comvita Lozenges also contains propolis. Bee propolis originates from a plant’s immune system, is extremely potent, and contains over 300 bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties for natural, immune support.

Comvita Lozenges are available in four different flavours: Zesty Lemon, Soothing Coolmint, Aniseed and Olive Leaf Extract (Olive leaf contains no propolis).

Comvita also has an option designed for kids: Soothing Mānuka Honey Pops. There are 15 Soothing Pops in a lollipop format in each pack with 3 different flavours per pack, Grape, Lemon and Orange. Once again using UMF™ 10+ Mānuka honey, with the added benefit of Vitamin C.

Both Kids Pops and Lozenges are individually wrapped and come in a resealable bag, making them ideal for on-the-go relief as well as a pantry stable. Lozenges are available in packs of 12's and a family size of 40's. Kids Pops are available in a 15 pack. Comvita products are must in any household.

Solgar's top trio for autumn support

Solgar Vitamin D3 1000 IU:

As daylight savings comes to an end our exposure to sunlight decreases and so does our ability to make the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D. Scientists have declared vitamin D is vital to supporting our immune system as well as calcium absorption which supports healthy teeth and bones.

Solgar Vitamin D3 1000IU provides a high daily dose when you need it the most. Made from cholecalciferol the form of vitamin D shown to be 87 percent more active than the D2 form.

Solgar Ester C + plus Immune:

Solgar has combined 13 well-known active ingredients into one supplement; Ester-C Plus Immune Complex helps to keep it simple when choosing a supplement to support your immune system. Each softgel capsules contain 500mg of Ester-C a well absorbed buffered, non-acidic vitamin C that is gentle on the digestive system. Together with vital nutrients such as vitamins A, D3, B12, B6, folate, zinc and three traditional immune supporting herbs echinacea, elderberry fruit and astragalus root.

Solgar Wild Oregano oil:

Oregano oil has become a popular addition in winter wellness to support the stuffy nose and heavy chest. But many don’t like taking the oil, as it is fiddly to prepare. It is important to dilute it and has a strong pungent taste.

Solgar has done all the preparation with Wild Oregano Oil available in a soft gel capsule mixed with virgin olive oil. It provides the key actives thymol and carvacrol ideal to support easier breathing when everything feels blocked and stuffy, without the flavour or fussy!

Get that glow with collagen

Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins within your body, making up about a third of the total protein content in your body. Unfortunately, as you age, your collagen production naturally starts to slow down, resulting in normal signs of ageing in the skin, such as fine lines, less firm skin and wrinkles. If you feel like you need a helping hand with your body’s production of this nutrient, then consider adding extra collagen protein to your body, with our easy-to-take Holland & Barrett collagen supplements.

Circadian rhythms and why women must prioritise their sleep more than men

Science shows us that nearly all life on the planet earth is dancing to an internal rhythm that optimises health, survival and reproduction so life can continue. This is as much the case for plants as it is for animals and humans. For humans we are finely tuned to a day and night cycles. These dark/light cycles are governed by sunlight and parts of our brain that recognise the changes in light and alter our biochemistry to create new internal environments. In response to darkness we sleep and restore and in daylight we live, work and play. This master body clock is known as our circadian rhythm and we also have several smaller clocks that regulate sleep, digestion, cellular metabolism, stress response, hormones, liver function and more.

Estrogen is a master hormone that regulates our circadian rhythm making perimenopause and menopause a challenging time for those who suddenly develop sleep problems and even more so for those already experiencing poor sleep. 33 to 51 percent of women complain of changes to their sleep quality at this time. This is due to changes in hormones, increased stress, later sleep times and increases in endogenous temperatures all of which contribute to decreases in melatonin output, irregular sleep times, irregular meals and poor food choices. All these changes lead further to metabolic and mood disruption right down to the level of our gut microbes.

Strategies to rebalance must start with prioritising sleep and reducing sleep disruptors such as temperature fluctuations, getting to sleep within 15 minutes and getting back to sleep within 15 minutes if waking in the night. Eating dinner early. Eating at the same time every day for all meals. Limited healthy snacking. Intermittent fasting of last dinner and breakfast 13 hours a part. Mood support with adaptogens throughout the day and microbiotica replenishment through supplementing probiotics.

The European mountain flower

Arnica (Arnica Montana), has been used for centuries in herbal medicines as a popular remedy for relief of sprains, strains, swelling, bruising and arthritic joints.

Weleda has a wide range of 100 percent natural Arnica pain and sport products to help relieve bruises, sprains, strains, muscle aches and pains.

Arnica Symphytum is a liquid for internal use. It naturally helps heal injuries to bone, cartilage, ligaments and muscles. It can be used for sports injuries, sprains, tendinitis, RSI, broken bones and after surgery.

The gut microbiome is the trillions of bacteria, fungi and viruses that live inside your gastrointestinal tract. They help to foster your mental and physical wellbeing and play an essential role in your ability to assimilate nutrients, eliminate wastes and ward off seasonal ills and chills.

What you may not know is that the development of your inner microbial rainforest takes place during your earliest years of life. From the day you are born until the time you go to school, your microbiome utilises the food you eat and the environment you are exposed to establish its foundations. This makes these years an important time to help our children build their gut health and give them the

Here are some quick tips for parents to help your child eat healthy and foster their microbiome development:

One of the best ways to encourage your kids to eat more gut friendly foods is to do it yourself - Role model the behaviour you want to see by eating mostly whole foods and filling up your plate with colourful plant foods at every meal.

Encourage eating a diverse range of foods. Eating a variety of colourful wholefoods is key to setting up the microbiome for success. Try adding different coloured fruit and vege on a plate and make it fun by turning them into a smiley face.

Invite your kids to prepare the food with you. Children are much more invested in the meal when they’re active participants in the preparation. No one likes being told what to do, humans young and old all like to feel like they have options. Offering kids the choice of what colourful fruits and vegetables they would like on their plate encourages them to eat what they have selected.

Let them get dirty and encourage outdoor play. Our microbiome is not only fostered by the food we eat, but also by the environment we grow up in. Dirt and animal exposure can help to broaden our microbiome diversity and foster greater immune resilience.

Sometimes, you could use a helping hand. Introducing BePure Kids Daily Probiotic - A targeted and broad spectrum probiotic and prebiotic blend designed to support your child's gut health, immune system, skin health, digestion, antibiotic recovery and healthy growth and development. It’s easy to use - just add 1/3 tsp of the neutral tasting powder to any cold food or drink.

Get your immune system ready for autumn with Good Health

You can feel a change in the air, it’s much cooler in the mornings and it's harder to get out of bed. The long hot days of summer are starting to fade as you pull out your autumn wardrobe and start to think of ways to build up some immune support.

Washing your hands regularly and sneezing into your elbows can go a long way to reducing the spread of ills and chills, but what else can you do?

What are Liposomes and how do they work?

Liposomes are microscopic, hollow, spherical vesicles. They are made up of phospholipids, which contain a phosphate head that is ‘polar hydrophilic’ (water loving) – and a fatty acid tail that is ‘non-polar hydrophobic’ (water repelling or oil loving). This structure gives the liposomes dual properties – they can attach to waterbased molecules and oil-based molecules, allowing them to be able to transport either water based or oil/lipid based ingredients into the body.

What is Liposomal Technology?

Liposomal Technology is a special type of delivery system where the vitamin C is encased inside a special coating to allow it to be effectively absorbed. The unique structure of liposomes mimic cell membranes, allowing them to easily integrate into the cell wall and deliver the vitamin C, carried inside the liposome to the target cells.

What are the Advantages of Liposomal-C?

The phospholipid bilayer of the liposome encases the Vitamin C which:

• Helps the vitamin C cross the gut wall into the blood stream and reach target cells i.e. this superior absorption technology* maximises the delivery of vitamin C to where it’s needed

• Allows high levels of vitamin C to be absorbed into the body

How does Vitamin D support immunity?

Why is Zinc so important for immune health?

Zinc is an essential trace mineral that supports almost all aspects of healthy immune and cell function. Zinc plays an important role in supporting a strong immune response.

Who is Liposomal Vitamin C + D + Zinc beneficial for?

Those wanting:

• A high strength Liposomal Vitamin C formula with vitamin D & zinc for additional immune support in a convenient one-a-day tablet.

• To support a strong healthy immune system and immune defences and recovery.

• To support collagen formation, skin health and minor wound healing.

When you need vitamin C ASAP, try Nutra-Life’s Liposomal-C 1200mg, Vit C + D + Zinc in a convenient, one-a-day tablet. Available in 30 and 60 tablets.

Plant protein is formulated to optimally fuel the process of muscle repair and growth for active humans. So, let's break down the key points about the PranaOn Power Plant Protein range!

Muscular recovery & growth

PranaOn Power Plant Protein (PPP) has been scientifically formulated to optimally fuel the process of muscle repair and growth for active bodies due to the 30 grams of protein per serve. There are significant amounts of the nine essential amino acids, plus effective amounts of the branch chain amino acids, leucine, isoleucine and valine, which help build up muscle and reduce the intensity of delayed onset muscle soreness.

Increased energy

PPP helps increase energy and concentration levels throughout a workout and the day ahead. With 50 percent of your RDI for iron and zinc, these nutrients are great for energy and immunity, helping you feel alert, healthy, and energised.

Debloat

There are five unique digestive enzymes found within PPP, which are designed to assist with your digestion and the absorption of nutrients. The digestive enzymes include protease, amylase, lipase, cellulase and lactase which help your body absorb all PPP’s nutrients.

Gut friendly

Each serve of PPP contains a healthy 100,000 colony forming unit of the probiotic lactospore, a premium strand of healthy bacteria that is protected from heat and allows your body to digest probiotics all the way into your intestines. This probiotic is well known for maintaining the stability and diversity of your gut microbiome.

Smooth & creamy

Most plant-based proteins taste bland and gritty in texture, but PPP is extremely smooth and creamy due to the addition of coconut MCTs and high-quality plant proteins. Being naturally sweetened with monk fruit and stevia leaf extracts, the natural flavours are enhanced and super delicious.

Clean & green

PPP only contains 100 percent natural ingredients, with no filler, artificial ingredients or GMOs. It is regularly tested for gluten, dairy, and soy, which means it’s perfect if you have allergies or intolerances. The tub is made from 100 percent recyclable materials – how cool!

Why choose plant protein?

Nutrition to support your immunity

The immune system is your body’s defence system. It protects you against pathogens, like viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi, that can cause disease, keeping them in balance with the health-promoting microbes of your microbiota, the ‘friendly’ bacteria, yeasts, and fungi occurring throughout your body.

Signs your immune system is not as healthy as it should be:

• Frequent or persistent colds or flu-like viruses

• Severe hay-fever or other allergies

• Autoimmune conditions

Nutrients for a healthy immune system

The foundation for a healthy immune system is a good diet that provides sufficient energy, essential fats, protein and micronutrients. Diets that are high in processed and refined foods, and especially those high in trans-fats and sugar, could worsen responses to infections as the result of varying factors including increased inflammation, down-regulated immune responses, and microbiota dysbiosis.

In addition, many nutrients have been shown to help support immune health, such as:

Omega-3 fats – help to support the immune system and healthy circulation in conjunction with the ‘proinflammatory’ omega 6 fats. Omega 3 fats are found in fatty fish and in vegan sources like flaxseeds and in algae.

Vitamin A – intricately involved in immune health and sufficient vitamin A associated with the immune response to illness and infections.

Vitamin E – supports immune health and healthy circulation.

Vitamin D – a key immune system supporter.

Antioxidants – compounds found in foods that scavenge and neutralise free radicals in the body thus protecting our cells from damage.

Nuzest Good Green Vitality is a high quality multi-nutrient supplement that contains many of these immunesupporting nutrients. With vitamin C, D, E, A, as well as zinc, probiotics, turmeric and rosemary, one daily serve of Good Green Vitality will provide your body with a combination of nutrients that will work synergistically together to support your immune health.

The gut is your first line of defence

Children come into contact with germs all the time, whether as babies discovering their new world around them, or as children as they transition into daycare and at school. You can’t prevent every sniffle that comes along, but you can help them build and maintain a strong and healthy immune system. With 70 percent of children's immune system located in their gut, it really is the command centre for immune health and taking a daily kids’ probiotic is an important step in keeping your kids well.

A probiotic can support their body’s natural immune response to threats, support recovery and keep them well at every age and stage. Target the immune source, and recovery with Inner Health kids’ probiotic range.

Inner Health Plus Baby Probiotic Drops

An unsettled baby could be a sign of digestive upset. Development of a healthy gut starts at birth and takes up to 3 years to fully develop.

Many of us do not consider the many functions that the joints in the body serve. In fact, any place where two or more bones connect, like the shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles are important for our everyday life and activity. Joints can often get tired and tight, causing a loss of enjoyment in day-to-day activities. Thus, highlighting the importance of looking after our joints.

Keeping fit and healthy is an important part of looking after your joints. You can do this by exercising, eating a balanced diet and taking care of your body.

You can also support your joint health by adding key nutrients like glucosamine to your daily regime. Glucosamine is produced naturally in the body and is essential for building cartilage. Cartilage acts as a cushion between joints, preventing the bones from rubbing against each other and helping to reduce friction in the joint with movement. The bad news is that as we age, our bodies' glucosamine levels are reduced. Supplementing with glucosamine can support joint and cartilage health and help to keep them healthy as we grow older, and play a key role in mobility.
