Odourless Garlic 60 Soft Gel Capsules
Keep kissable and healthy with Healthy Direct's Odourless Garlic supplements.Garlic supplements are some of the most commonly-used health supplements in the world. Recently newspapers such as The Telegraph have featured article after article relating to its phenomenal health-giving properties which include: Reducing the risk of both heart disease and strokes by lowering the level of harmful cholesterol in the blood; Improving the efficiency of the immune system to provide greater resistance to infections particularly colds and the flu; and aiding the regulation of both blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Garlic is even believed to have anti-bacterial anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. These healing properties are concentrated in the part of the plant that is used regularly in the kitchen; the bulb. When the bulb is crushed or chewed Alliin one of the compounds found in Garlic becomes Allicin - the chemical responsible for Garlic's odour and health-giving effects. Findings indicate that Allicin blocks key enzymes that aid bacteria in their effort to invade and damage tissues. Interestingly cooking Garlic inhibits the formation of Allicin eliminating its therapeutic effects. So other than eating raw Garlic the best way to get the maximum health benefits from it is through supplementation. Garlic supplements come in many different forms: fresh herb soft gel capsules liquid oil powder and tablets. Healthy Direct's Odourless Garlic soft gel capsules are carefully formulated to ensure that the important allicin content of the Garlic is retained to provide a guaranteed2mg Garlic content. As they are odourless garlic capsules you can gain all the benefits of Garlic without the associated bad breath! (For more Garlic supplements please see the bottom of this page.)

Royal Jelly 60 Soft Gel Capsules
This super-food is loaded with protein vitamins minerals and amino acids to help improve your immunity. It is produced by worker bees to keep the queen bee well-nourished and fertile. They ingest the pollen and nectar and secrete the Royal Jelly from special glands in their heads - sort of a honeybee `milk'. It is the rich diet of nothing but Royal Jelly that helps the queen bee live for more than 5-7 years and lay more then her weight of eggs daily. By contrast the workers bees live for only 7-8 weeks and remain 40-60% smaller and lighter than the queen bee. The queen must be protected from infection and premature ageing or else the colony will perish. Royal Jelly's main benefit to humans is very similar to that of the queen bee - it has powerful immune-boosting and revitalizing properties. During a flu epidemic in Yugoslavia just 9% of hospital patients that took daily doses of Royal Jelly developed flu compared with 40% of untreated patients. Each of our soft gel capsules provides the equivalent of 600mg Fresh Royal Jelly.
