NUTRITION

NutriShield

The concept behind NutriShield is simple – to identify the most protective nutrients from the world’s healthiest diets and combine them into one complete daily supply. It is a comprehensive, anti-ageing supplement to support and maintain long term health and vitality and contains 9 vital groups of ingredients;

Anti-oxidant shield, Carotenoid shield, Isoflavone shield, Co-Enzyme Q10 shield, Betaine shield, Omega-3 shield, Flavenoid shield, Glucosamine shield and a Multivitamin & Mineral shield.

This unique combination of nutrients are designed to support cardiovascular health, immune health, joint health, cognitive health and cellular health.

Uni-vite 5 a day Smoothie

It is not easy to ensure you and the family eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. In fact less than 1 person in 7 does. This smoothie tastes of delicious summer berries but it actually contains apples, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, carrots plus a blend of 7 other vegetables. In addition to the freeze dried fruits & vegetables Uni-vite have added natural pre-biotic fibre – the type that encourages your body to make its own probiotics (the healthy intestinal flora).

The 5-a-day diet

The only healthy way to lose weight and keep it off is to increase exercise and to switch to foods that are filling, yet high in nutrition and low in calories.

Uni-vite has designed a 5-a-day diet plan incorporating the above Smoothie together with satisfying, high protein, high fibre, low G.I. 4 O’Clock bars.

JointShield

A nutritional supplement to help with arthritis, joint pain, sore muscles and injured tendons. Its unique 2-step formula is designed to help with joint pain via its unique anti-inflammatory action and to support the body’s own power of regeneration. It contains Curcumin, Glucosamine, Vitamin K, Beta sitosterol and vitamin D.

This contains a unique synergistic combination of 1-3,1-6 beta-glucans, plus beta sitosterol derived from seeds and grains. It is designed to help support the Innate Immune System – your first line of defence against micro-organisms, bacteria and viruses, and abnormal cells.

Fish Oil supplements

Fish oil is a major anti-inflammatory and benefits all the vital organs and systems of the body, in particular the brain, lungs, skin, joints, circulatory system and heart. We stock fish oil capsules and also lemon flavoured omega 3 oil in 200ml bottles. We obtain these from Cytoplan whose fish oils are cold-water, low-pressure distilled and are guaranteed to be clean and stable. Caution is needed when taking fish oils that cannot give this guarantee as pesticide content from polluted oceans can be of concern.

Vital Energy

This green food powder is bursting full of nutrients to nourish, revitalise & gently cleanse your body. It contains spirulina, alfafa tops, spinach, beetroot, lemon & orange peel, carrots & rosehips, sourced from organic and wild-crafted ingredients.

Glyconutrients

Glyconutrients occur naturally in many plants and have been used medicinally in various cultures for centuries. In recent years the scientific community has woken up to their health potential and they have recently been discussed in several important publications. There is now a science journal called ‘Glycobiology’ solely devoted to this area. There are 8 monosaccharides which are known to be present in glycoproteins. These are necessary in the body for cell-to cell communication and are important immune modulators. Only 2 of these are readily available in our modern day diet.

We stock the following items from Mannatech, a company that specialises in glyconutrient products: Advance Ambrotose Powder, Manna Bears and Glycoslim drinks.
