Natures Own Calcium Ascorbate + Bioflavono 30 Tablets

One Click Pharmacy Product Information
Ascorbic Acid Powder V065 Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is an essential water soluble vitamin that cannot be stored in the body, and therefore needs to be adequately replaced daily. Recommended Intake - 1-2 grams daily sprinkled over food taking it as a food supplement, or take as directed by a practitioner. Much of the vitamin C in a meal may be excreted within a few hours. Unlike most other animals, we cannot manufacture it in our body, which means we have to get it every day in our food. Vitamin C is unstable and is easily destroyed by heat and light, and it is not always possible to be sure how much is taken in our diet. Our daily requirement for it is higher than for any other water-soluble nutrient. The processes of storing, peeling, freezing and cooking our food can deplete much of its vitamin C content. As a nutrient, vitamin C is needed: · for producing collagen, a fibrous protein which is an integral part of healthy skin, tendons, bones, gums, teeth and blood vessels; · as a protective antioxidant throughout the body via its role of reducing and removing harmful excess free radicals (pollution, heated fats, etc); · for maintaining a healthy immune system and for the growth and repair of tissue; · in helping to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels; · for efficient body repair and maintenance; and · for the metabolism of fat. Bioflavonoids always accompany vitamin C in fruit and vegetables. The main ones are the flavones and flavonals, rutin and hesperidin. They appear to assist in the absorption of vitamin C. In particular, this product may have roles for: · people whose diets contain little fresh fruit and vegetables or who have particular nutritional requirements, such as the elderly and those dependent on institutional catering; · smokers and those who drink alcohol; · those with demanding lifestyles; · those wishing to help maintain normal cholesterol levels; · people who take aspirin or prescribed drugs such as antibiotics; and · athletes and those whose work involves strenuous physical activity.

Thiamin (Vitamin B1) 25mg

£14.35

Thiamin (Vitamin B1) 25mg

Nutri Centre Product Information
With Probiotic & Yeast-Free Food State Thiamin is beneficially combined in a probiotic base in which it naturally occurs. The probiotic species used (lactobacillus bulgaricus) is a native inhabitant of the human GI tract.Thiamin, or vitamin B1, found in both plant and animal sources, is a water-soluble vitamin that acts as a co-enzyme in the process of converting glucose into energy and is vital in certain metabolic reactions. For this reason, thiamin is needed when energy expenditure is high, e.g. when exercising. Thiamin assists in the maintenance and correct working of the heart and nervous system and formation and maintenance of red blood cells. Known as the morale vitamin because of its relation to a healthy nervous system, thiamin is also linked to improving individual learning capacity. It is necessary for consistent growth in children and for the improvement of muscle tone in the stomach, intestines and heart. Thiamin is essential for stabilising the appetite by improving food assimilation and digestion, particularly of starches, sugar and alcohol. Best Natural Sources Thiamin occurs in limited quantities in almost all foods and is found in large amounts in only a few, such as pork and organ meats. Bread and cereal are best as wholegrain, since thiamin is a component of the germ and bran of wheat, the husk of rice and that portion of all grains which is commercially milled away. A diet rich in brewers yeast, wheat germ, blackstrap molasses and bran will provide the body with thiamin and help to prevent undue accumulation of fatty deposits in artery walls. Seaweeds (nori & wakame) are also good sources of vitamin B1. Absorption and Storage Thiamin is rapidly absorbed in the upper and lower small intestine. It is then carried by the circulatory system to the liver, kidneys and heart, where it may combine further with manganese and specific proteins to become an active enzyme. These are the enzymes which break down carbohydrates into simple sugars. Thiamin is not stored by the body in any quantity and therefore must be supplied daily. It is excreted in the urine. Thiamin is destroyed by alcohol. Alcohol interferes with the absorption of all nutrients, but especially B1 and B2. Eating excessive amounts of sugar will cause thiamin depletion, as will smoking. Thiamin is destroyed by heat and water in cooking. Ingredients Nutrient Per tablet %RDA Thiamin (B1) 25mg 2273 RDA = Recommended Daily Allowance Suggested Intake: 1 tablet daily, or take as directed by a practitioner.Suitable for: Vegetarians and for people with Candida and yeast sensitivities.Contraindications: None.Non-Active Ingredients: Vegetable magnesium stearate & vegetable zein (tablet coating).Non GM & Free From: yeast; wheat; starch, gluten; soy; added colourings, sweeteners & preservatives.Storage: Keep cool, dry & out of direct sunlight.

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) 50mg

£11.25

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) 50mg

Nutri Centre Product Information
With Probiotic & Yeast-Free Food State Pantothenic Acid is beneficially combined in a probiotic base in which it naturally occurs. The probiotic species used (lactobacillus bulgaricus) is a native inhabitant of the human GI tract. Pantothenic acid is water-soluble. It occurs in all living cells. It stimulates the adrenal glands and increases production of cortisone and other adrenal hormones important for healthy skin and nerves. The vitamin plays a vital role in cell metabolism. As a co-enzyme, like the first three B vitamins, pantothenic acid participates in the release of energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is essential for the synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and fatty acids and aids in the utilisation of other vitamins, especially riboflavin. It helps maintain a healthy digestive tract and can improve the bodys ability to withstand stressful conditions. Best Natural Sources Occurs in all living cells, being widely distributed in yeasts, moulds, bacteria and individual cells of all animals and plants. It is synthesised in the body by the bacterial flora of the intestines. Organ meats, brewers yeast, egg yolks and whole grain cereal are the richest sources. Absorption and Storage Pantothenic acid is found in the blood, particularly in the plasma, and is excreted daily in the urine. Approximately 33% of the pantothenic acid content of meat is lost during cooking and about 50% is lost by the milling of flour. Although stable in moist heat, it is easily destroyed by heating in acids such as vinegar or alkali such as baking soda. Individual needs for pantothenic acid vary according to periods of stress, daily food intake and urinary excretion levels. A greater level of pantothenic acid may be needed after injury, severe illness or antibiotic therapy. Adequate intake of pantothenic acid may help to reduce the adverse effects of many antibiotics. Ingredients Nutrient Per tablet %RDA Pantothenic Acid (B5) 50mg 833 RDA = Recommended Daily Allowance Suggested Intake: 1 tablet daily, or take as directed by a practitioner.Suitable for: Vegetarians and for people with Candida and yeast sensitivities.Contraindications: None.Non-Active Ingredients: Vegetable stearic acid, vegetable magnesium stearate & vegetable zein (tablet coating).Non GM & Free From: yeast; wheat; starch, gluten; soy; added colourings, sweeteners & preservatives.Storage: Keep cool, dry & out of direct sunlight.

Bio C Vitamin 750mg

Bio C Vitamin 750mg

Nutri Centre Product Information
What is Vitamin C? Vitamin C (also known as ascorbic acid) is an important nutrient which must be obtained from the diet or by supplementation, as it cannot be synthesized by the human body. Major dietary sources of vitamin C are green vegetables and fruit. Vitamin C is one of the most labile dietary nutrients, being easily destroyed by cooking or food processing. Levels of vitamin C are reduced by smoking, drinking alcohol, as well as by certain drugs (e.g. anticoagulants, antidepressants, oral contraceptives). What does Vitamin C do? Vitamin C is essential for normal tissue growth and repair, playing a vital role in collagen formation and strengthening capillary blood vessels. Vitamin C strengthens ligaments and tendons, prevents bruising and is required for wound healing. Vitamin C helps to maintain healthy gums and healthy immune function. Vitamin C is the primary water soluble antioxidant vitamin within the human body, protecting the aqueous cytoplasm within the main body of the cell from damage by free radicals. Vitamin C acts synergistically with the major lipid soluble antioxidant vitamin E, which protects cell membranes from free radical damage. How much Vitamin C should you take? The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA, USA National Research Council) for vitamin C (for men and women) is 60mg/day (120mg/day for smokers). This RDA for vitamin C has long been challenged as inadequate, and the optimum intake for vitamin C has been conservatively estimated to be at least 200mg/day. Are there adverse effects from taking vitamin C? The toxicity of vitamin C is extremely low, with doses up to 1000mg/day being completely safe. Very high intake of vitamin C (greater than 2000mg/day) may cause gastrointestinal disturbance in susceptible individuals, and may also interfere with the absorption of calcium and selenium (which should be supplemented). As vitamin C facilitates the absorption of iron from the diet, high intake of vitamin C should not be taken by patients with iron overload syndromes (e.g. haematochromatosis, thalasaemia). High intake of vitamin C should not be taken by individuals with a susceptibility to kidney stone formation. About Pharma-Nord Bio-C-Vitamin Pharma-Nord Bio-C-Vitamin is produced under Danish pharmaceutical control. Each tablet of Bio-C-Vitamin contains 750mg of vitamin C, equivalent to that contained in 1.5Kg of oranges. Bio-C-Vitamin is based on calcium ascorbate, a less acidic form of vitamin C which does not disturb the normal p H of the stomach. Pharma-Nord recommends 1 to 2 tablets/day.

Bio Biloba 100mg

Bio Biloba 100mg

Nutri Centre Product Information
What is Ginkgo Biloba? Ginkgo biloba, also known as the maidenhair tree, is one of the worlds oldest living tree species. Once widely distributed, this species was almost destroyed during the last Ice Age in all regions of the world except China, where it has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for several thousand years. Leaves of Ginkgo biloba are used to prepare an extract, the main active ingredients of which are chemical substances called flavone glycosides and terpene lactones. The composition of commercially available extracts of Ginkgo biloba may vary; extracts should be standardized to contain 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones. Unprocessed leaves should not be used (e.g. in teas), as they contain chemicals (removed during processing) which can trigger allergic reactions. What does Ginkgo Biloba do? Ginkgo biloba extract helps to maintain healthy blood circulation and cardiovascular function, particularly healthy blood vesseltone and elasticity, and healthy blood platelet aggregation. Maintenance of healthy blood supply to the brain helps to preserve mental function in the elderly. Ginkgo biloba extract also has powerful antioxidant activity, helping to maintain the bodys defences in protecting tissues (particularly brain tissue) from free radical induced damage. How much Ginkgo Biloba should you take? The generally recommended intake for Ginkgo biloba (standardized extract) is 40-80 mg 2-3 times daily. Are there adverse effects from taking Ginkgo biloba? Ginkgo biloba is generally well tolerated, with no significant adverse effects reported during use; gastrointestinal disturbance or headaches may occasionally occur in susceptible individuals. Supplements containing Ginkgo biloba extract should be taken with caution by patients prescribed anti-coagulant drugs (e.g. aspirin, warfarin). The toxicity of Ginkgo biloba extract is very low. About Pharma-Nord Bio-Biloba Each tablet of Pharma-Nord Bio-Biloba contains 100mg of standardized Ginkgo biloba extract, with a guaranteed content of 24mg flavone glycosides and 6mg terpene lactones. Pharma-Nord recommends 1-2 tablets/day. Bio-Biloba is manufactured under Danish pharmaceutical control.

Bio Culture

Bio Culture

Nutri Centre Product Information
What are probiotics? Probiotics are dietary supplements containing living microrganisms that help maintain healthy functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, altering the balance of intestinal bacterial flora in favour of beneficial organisms. The best-studied probiotics are the lactic acid bacterial strains Lactobacillus acidophilus (preferentially colonizing the small intestine) and Bifidobacterium lactis (preferentially colonizing the large intestine), which are components of the natural intestinal flora. NEW & IMPROVED: MSG Free (mono-sodium glutamate) Lactose Free though the cultures in this product may contain residues of milk protein and are not milk free. This product is therefore suitable for people with lactose intolerance, but it is not recommended for people who are allergic to milk proteins. Gluten free Suitable for vegetarians Guaranteed to contain 4 billon bacteria per capsule The strains of bacteria used are improved and are supported by documentation - Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis Stable at room temperature ideal for travelling as it doesnt have to kept refrigerated Many products fail to reach the intestines because they are destroyed by the acid environment of the stomach. The bacteria in Bio-Culture are encapsulated within a stomach resistant gel matrix. The capsule is dissolved by acid in the stomach, but the bacteria remain protected by the gel, which in turn dissolves in the intestine to release the bacteria for maximum benefit. Bacteria are freeze dried and packed into a hermetically sealed aluminium tube which keeps them fresh and prolongs the shelf life once opened. What do probiotics do? Probiotic bacteria compete with pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract for nutrient resources, inhibit mucosal invasion and epithelial adhesion by bacterial pathogens, produce antibacterial substances directed against enteric pathogens, and maintain healthy immune function. Probiotics also inhibit bacterial enzymes involved in the synthesis of colonic carcinogens. In particular, the probiotic strains used in Bio-Culture can inhibit the growth of Candida species via a number of the mechanisms outlined above, including nutritional competition, production of anti-Candida substances, prevention of Candida adhesion to epithelia, modulation of intestinal p H, and increased instestinal peristalsis. In addition, the ability of probiotic bacteria to stimulate the innate and acquired immune system is thought to play an important role in preventing Candida growth. Probiotics may be particularly effective in inhibiting Candida overgrowth in the lederly. How much probiotic should you take? There is no Recommended Daily Intake for probiotics. Levels of naturally occurring probiotic lactic acid bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract decrease with age, and are reduced following the intake of alcohol and certain medicines. Are there adverse effects from taking probiotics? Oral administration of probiotics is well tolerated and safe. There are no reported adverse effects, and no known risk of overdose. Probiotics can be taken by pregnant and lactating women. About Pharma-Nord Bio-Culture Pharma-Nord Bio-Culture contains two freeze-dried strains of lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis, within a capsule containing an acid resistant gel matrix. The capsule is dissolved by acid in the stomach, but the viability of the bacteria is maintained by the protective gel, which in turn dissolves in the small intestine to release the beneficial bacteria. Each Bio-Culture capsule guarentees at least 4 billion live beneficial bacteria, and is designed to be stable at room temperature. Many commercial probiotic formulations need to be stored in a refrigerator (inconvenient for travellers), contain relatively few viable bacteria (typically 0.1-2 billion), or are inactivated by the adverse environment of the stomach (before reaching the intestines). Pharma-Nord recommends 1-3 capsules daily. Bio-Culture is manufactured under Danish pharmaceutical control.
