Lamberts Imuno-Strength Gummies – 60 gummies

hrs.admin — Tue, 06 May 2025 14:23:39 +0000

Lamberts Imuno-Strength® is a tasty elderberry gummy which has been carefully produced to ensure that the natural beneficial compounds of the fruits are retained.

Elderberries are an exceptionally rich source of important compounds called flavonoids, including anthocyanidins, which are potent antioxidants. With this in mind, Imuno-Strength® is formulated to harness the natural properties of the fruits. The flavonoid family found in these fruits is active in many environments in the body, making it an excellent antioxidant.

As an immune support supplement, our formula includes vitamin C and zinc, which contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Practitioners often recommend Imuno-Strength® during the winter months, when the requirement for immune support is at its highest, but our formula can also be taken all year round.

This product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Higher Nature – Vitamin C Effervescent – 20s

hrs.admin — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 11:40:26 +0000

Description

What is Vitamin C Effervescent?

If you need a high potency vitamin C but are searching for an alternative to swallowing tablets and capsules – look no further – our Vitamin C Effervescent fits the bill! Simply drop these handy soluble tablets into water to make a tangy orange flavoured drink, free from artificial sweeteners, flavours and preservatives.

Deficiency of vitamin C leads to lowered immunity and a higher susceptibility to infections but unlike most animals, humans have lost the ability to make their own vitamin C. Not only that – we are also unable to store vitamin C in the body, so we must obtain it from our diet on a daily basis. However, even with a healthy diet, the vitamin C content of foods is affected by prolonged storage times, heat and water-based cooking.

As well as supporting immunity, Vitamin C is needed for many important functions in the body including energy production and combatting tiredness and fatigue. It is also needed for the process of making collagen for our skin, teeth, bones, gums, blood vessels and joints, supporting resilience to stress and aiding the absorption of iron from our food. All the more reason to top up with a tasty drink that packs a powerful punch!

Mushrooms For Life – Lion’s Mane Focus – 60 vCaps

hrs.admin — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 14:35:36 +0000

Why should we take Lion’s Mane

Brain Health

Lion’s mane has long been revered for its cognitive and neurological effects. Studies have found it stimulates production of nerve growth factor (NGF) which helps to maintain the neurons, which are the brain cells responsible for helping us to process and transmit information. It is useful for learning and memory, and helps to optimise neurogenesis; the creation and growth of new brain cells, making it an ideal nootropic for supporting focus and productivity.

Immunity

Lion’s mane mushroom contains bioactive compounds, including beta-glucans, which can support and modulate the immune system. By enhancing immune response, lion’s mane can help to support overall health.

Mental Health

Studies suggest lion’s mane can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by modulating the levels of specific neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which play crucial roles in regulating mood, motivation, and stress response.

Active Ingredients:

Hericenones and Erinacines

Lion’s mane is rich in hericenones and erinacines which are believed to contribute to the mushroom’s cognitive-enhancing properties. They have strong anti-bacterial activity and help stimulate the generation of nerve growth factor (NGF) which is a neuropeptide that helps to maintain neurons and supports optimal brain functioning.

Beta-glucans

High amounts of polysaccharides including beta-glucans to support immunity.

Antioxidants

Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.

Mushrooms for Life – Cordycepts – 60 vCaps

hrs.admin — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 14:05:23 +0000

Kidney Health

Studies have highlighted improved kidney function in those with chronic renal failure, and protection from kidney damage.

Respiratory Health

Traditionally used for respiratory ailments, research suggests cordyceps might help enhance lung function by increasing oxygen utilisation and improving respiratory capacity which may be beneficial for asthma and COPD.

Energy

Studies show increases in oxygen uptake, aerobic capacity, and resistance to fatigue. Cordyceps can naturally support energy levels.

Fertility

Several studies have looked into the effects of cordyceps on libido and sexual health suggesting it may increase levels of male sex hormones, and improve sperm quality and quantity.

Immunity

Research has shown an increase in the production of protective immune cells, and enhanced immune response. Cordyceps has also been shown to have powerful anti-viral effects; in particular the militaris species which is rich in cordycepin.

Ingredients:

Cordycepin

Has a close similarity to adenosine so some enzymes can’t distinguish between the two. Adenosine is central to energy metabolism, it is needed to make ATP which is the body’s energy currency. Cordycepin is also a powerful anti-viral compound. 

Polysaccharides and Nucleosides

Pharmacological functions of cordyceps are primarily due to the bioactive polysaccharides, modified nucleosides, and cyclosporin-like metabolites it produces.

Antioxidants

Rich in anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
