Cod Liver Oil 1000mg 360 Soft Gel Capsules
Cod Liver Oil capsules 1000mg are an ideal way to keep bones and joints healthy and are the perfect step up from our 550mg soft gel capsules. Cod Liver Oil (CLO) has long been a traditional remedy for problems associated with joints as it is thought to lubricate them therefore reducing the friction that causes the pain and inflammation. Research has revealed that the Omega 3 essential fatty acids - Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) - abundant in CLO were beneficial for the heart and for circulation. Not only is it a rich source of these Omega 3 fatty acids but CLO also contains Vitamins A and D. The large amount of Vitamin A present in CLO aids vision is vital for healthy growth and resistance and is beneficial for the skin and mucous membranes. Vitamin D regulates blood levels of calcium and phosphorous - minerals which are vital for healthy bones and teeth. The Omega 3 fatty acids found in CLO are a form of polyunsaturated fats which unlike saturated fats are good for you and are increasingly recognised as important to human health. Researchers have found that without a good supply of Omega 3's the body will use saturated fat to construct cell membranes and as a result these cell membranes are not very elastic thus making it harder for the heart to return to a resting state. The polyunsaturated fats in CLO are thus not only good for the heart and circulation but are also thought to improve memory and cognitive function as a result. Above all CLO is valued for its ability to help soothe the pain associated with Osteoarthritis by thickening the fluid in the joints.

Turmeric Extract 500mg 180 Capsules
Joints digestion and general well-being can all gain from this curry favourite! Traditional Indian medicine systems have relied on this pungent spice for centuries. But until thirty years ago the rest of the world only regarded it as a spice: In the 1970's lab researchers found it contained anti-inflammatory compounds called `curcuminoids' - the most important of these being `curcumin.' Curcumin has rich stores of antioxidants which can help protect the body from a wide range of age-related ills and degenerative diseases. Antioxidants are powerful preservatives which helps explain why turmeric has long been sprinkled on food to help retain its freshness. As a natural anti-inflammatory turmeric is also useful for joint problems (such as aching swelling and stiffness). Curcumin is even considered a standard anti-inflammatory medication in India. These properties also help digestive complaints such as excess gas (flatulence) bloating and mild stomach upsets. It may also help fight the bacteria commonly responsible for infectious diarrhoea. Each of our capsules provides 500mg Turmeric Extract which provides 475mg curcuminoids.

This powerful best-seller combines 400mg Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl (providing 300mg Glucosamine Sulphate) 100mg marine Chondroitin 50mg MSM and 60mg Vitamin C. Glucosamine is needed by the body to manufacture specialised molecules called `glycosaminoglycans' (GAGs) which are important for the development of cartilage bone tendons ligaments nails hair and skin. It is used to help relieve joint pain and protect against long-term degeneration of the joints by helping to stimulate the growth of cartilage (the gel-like material that cushions joints). Chondroitin Sulphate is a natural compound found in joints although in degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis its presence diminishes as cartilage erodes. It is thought to block the enzymes that can destroy cartilage tissue as well as promote water-retention in the cartilage found in joints thereby making it more elastic. Research has shown that supplementing your diet with Chondroitin Sulphate may promote joint-healing relieve symptoms and possibly slow the progression of osteoarthritis. As a form of organic sulphur MSM (MethylSulfonylMethane) is believed to aid arthritic joints which studies have shown to have lower sulphur levels than healthy joints. It may also help to maintain and repair cartilage the gel like substance that cushions the joints and that is a key ingredient of connective tissue. It's natural analgesic (pain-killing) and anti-inflammatory properties further explain its use for combating the symptoms of arthritis. Vitamin C: The health benefits of Vitamin C are manifold and although it is most commonly known as an immunity booster and powerful antioxidant it is also crucial for the formation of collagen (the structural protein that holds joints together) and thus plays a key role in keeping ligaments and tendons strong and healthy. With Vitamin C being a water soluble nutrient the Chondroitin absorbs it therefore placing it within the joints where it is needed most.

Glucosamine (one of the UK's leading supplements) is made up of glucose and an amino acid called `glutamine' and is produced in the body to help manufacture specialised molecules called `glycosaminoglycans' (GAGs) which are important for the development of bone tendons ligaments nails hair skin and cartilage (the gel-like material that cushions joints).

Collagen is a substance naturally produced by the body and is essential for building and repairing joints and ligaments as well as reducing inflammation and stiffness. As we age Collagen production can decrease substantially which results in the body failing to produce enough for its needs. Collagen has been the subject of intense media attention. The Daily Mail reported in August 2003 that research was conducted on 400 patients with arthritic knees. Some got a placebo while others were treated with Collagen. The Collagen group showed significant reduction in pain and an improvement in joint mobility with 93% achieving positive results some only after 2 weeks. Collagen is considered compatible with Glucosamine and the two make an ideal combination.

Inflamol 60 Capsules
Inflamol is a truly exciting development in natural pain relief. It is an all-natural anti-inflammatory; treating the symptoms and the cause of inflammatory pain without the side effects associated with other forms of anti-inflammatory medication. Research carried out since the 1970's has shown that conventional anti-inflammatory drugs can be attributed to accelerating the rate of joint degeneration. Inflamol combines a unique blend of herbs - including a combination of Chinese Skullcap and Acacia Extract to relieve joint pain from the root cause. Inflamol&Glucosamine Together Hundreds of research studies have shown how Glucosamine can effectively stimulate the regrowth of cartilage (the spongy tissue lining the joints) thereby providing joint pain relief. However up until now the problem has been that whilst Glucosamine is great at rebuilding cartilage it couldn't tackle the underlying inflammation (the major cause of pain) leading to the degeneration of the joint tissue. Maybe now you can see why taking Inflamol (to combat inflammation) with Glucosamine (to rebuild cartilage) could be a truly effective pain relief partnership. Each Inflamol capsule contains 250mg of a combination of Chinese Skullcap and Acacia Root Extract.
