What Is Normal Health ?
Many people tell us that they always thought they enjoyed normal health, it was not until they embarked on a supplement programme, that they realised what was attainable. People reported that they felt more relaxed, slept better, thought more calmly, had more physical/mental energy, basically felt more willing and able to face the day, and importantly enjoy it. Only upon looking back did they question if they had been running below par.

Myths Of Normal Supplementation
What is normal and correct for one person may simply not be enough for his neighbour or work colleague, our suggestions are that everyone should listen to their bodies. Under more stress or working in a polluted city, it stands to reason that extra safeguards should be sought whether it be through exercise, eating the right foods or extra dietary supplementation. Many of our staff, work colleagues, and customers at the first onset of a cold for instance, vastly increase the intake of Vit C, add Echinacea, Propolis, Cats Claw, to their regime, we feel it is a question of reacting to the circumstances and acting on personal choice.

Different Bodies , Different Consumption Rates
Science has shown that different metabolisms can utilise different amounts of nutrients in a given situation, so what suits one person will not suit or be enough for another.

What Is Meant By The Health Market ?
Many people associate the Health market as the standard Vitamins, A, B, C, D, E , etc, many are astonished and often completely converted when upon closer inspection they realise that there are literally hundreds of NEW SUPER SUPPLEMENTS and supplement formulas available. There are now, Vitamins, Minerals, Enzymes, Amino Acids, Glandulars, Pro Biotics, Herbal formulations, Marine extracts. Some are thousands of years old and have been widely advocated for health maintenance, however it is only recently that the commercial technology has been put into place to enable extraction for the market place. Each year, more and more advanced product combinations enter the market, conversely more and more enlightened people are seeking further informed knowledge.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure
The old but true maxim. Many people now are choosing to listen to their bodies and research the many and varied products that are open to them to provide and maintain good health. Supplements are thought of by many as cheap Health Insurance policies. Perhaps they may be viewed in the same way as ensuring the adequate road worthiness of your car, by ensuring the tyres and engine are kept well, after all it is far more costly and inconvenient repairing the damage done by an accident or a breakdown.

Executive Burnout, Can It Be Prevented?
We feel that many executives, or people in stress related positions really ought to examine the world of diet supplementation, and indeed many employers should examine the issue. Stress is one of the largest causes of employees absence and is an escalating problem. For anybody to feel their best and perform to the maximum at work or home, they should have an adequate supply of all the base nutrients. Many people who have taken supplements such as ENADH, Ginko Biloba, have reported that they seem able to cope with work demands that much easier and in a more relaxed state of mind. We have a great personal experience of Kava Kava being excellent for coping with 'Computer rage'. We feel that the way to proceed is for each of our customers to try a supplement and keep notes of how they feel and perform. Certain products will have a far greater maintenance effect on some than they do on others.

Free Radicals, Anti-Oxidants, (What's all the fuss?)
What are they? what do they do? we all seem to have heard about them, but not many of us know exactly what they are and indeed how harmful and how good they can be. Hopefully we can explain for everybody as follows.

Free Radicals, are basically molecules that can be termed incomplete, and are very volatile. They are searching for other molecules in the body to make themselves complete once again, however should they succeed, they succeed at the expense of another healthy complete molecule and that molecule may become damaged in the process. Some scientists believe that these free radicals may contribute to

• damage to blood vessels
• damage our RNA and DNA
• aid in the deterioration of the immune system
• contribute to the decline in neurotransmitters
• contribute to the biological ageing process

Many people take the view that Stress creates Free Radicals, and are therefore very conscious of the so termed anti-stress nutrients and supplements that are now available. There are many nutrients that can aid in assisting the balance for a healthy body, one of these groups can be termed anti-oxidants.

These anti-oxidants serve their function by effectively sacrificing themselves for oxidation upon encountering Free Radicals, thus preventing possible damage to body tissues.

Life is all about balance and so are our bodies, at certain times our bodies are exposed to increased attacks from Free Radicals, such as Smoking, exposing ourselves to polluted areas, STRESS, reliance on processed foods, it makes sense therefore to safeguard our bodies by increasing intakes of these valuable anti-oxidants. In some parts of the world, anti-oxidants are taken with the view to maintaining youthful looks and vigour, in other parts they are taken in almost the same way as life insurance.

Many anti-oxidants are thought to work synergistically, taken together they may have an increased and more potent effect.
