After what has seemed like a never ending, cold, dark winter, the scent of spring is finally in the air and warmer weather is on the horizon. And while this change in season is known for a household clean, what about our bodies that we have perhaps neglected over the last few months? Or perhaps you dread the upcoming pollen season and need to support your immunity? To compensate for nutrient losses and drains on our body systems at the end of this dark season, our Nutrition team have picked out some Spring Essentials to give you an immune and antioxidant boost, promote tissue repair, and to support your gut bacteria, giving our bodies a bit of a spring clean.

We often forget to maintain our bone health until we injure or break a bone, and are reminded just how important it is! So, we have created a smoothie containing all the key nutrients needed for strong, healthy bones.

We now know the true importance of daily nutrition to support overall health and wellbeing for us adults, and this goes for the little ones too! Just as we need to ensure our bodies are taking in all of the essential nutrients to thrive, this is the same for our children, and laying down good nutritional foundations in childhood can have lifelong benefits.

Our extensive range of advanced, effective nutritional supplements for children covers the key areas that underpin child development from neonatal nutrition, promoting healthy immunity, bone health and cognition.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our children’s range, formulated by our Clinical Nutrition team in conjunction with leading practitioners to provide the highest standard of products, suitable for all ages, from babies to teenagers. Free from artificial colours and flavours, in liquid or powder forms for convenience and flexible dosing options.

“It’s never too early or too late to work towards being a healthier you”

This is undoubtedly a truly unique time which has brought on great reflection for many, and for a lot of us, this time has been an opportunity to realise the true importance of health and what that looks like to us. Not only have we seen the importance of a strong immune system, but the connection between our immunity and other areas, such as our digestive health, respiratory health and energy.

We all know vitamin C is vital for our health, in particular, for our immunity, energy and collagen production. But did you know? Most of us aren’t getting enough vitamin C through diet alone. This is why we have a wide variety of vitamin C products, all of which are vegan friendly and come in various forms to suit your every need, such as liquid, powder, capsule, or tablet.

Watch our latest vlog, where we look into these further to see which option might be the best one for you.

We are very excited to introduce our brand new product – Liposomal Vitamin C!

Following the success of our Liposomal CBD, and lots of positive feedback from our customers, we were keen to expand our Liposomal range and including a vitamin C product was a no brainer at this time of the year.

After a long wait and lots of anticipation, we can finally share it with you!

Polyzyme Forte®, a high potency combination of vegetable-derived enzymes such as bromelain, lipase, protease, amylase, cellulose, lactase and maltase with Lactobacillus acidophilus live bacteria.

This year’s festivities may be a little different to usual, however, we still might not be able to avoid overindulging in mince pies and mulled wine, which may become the cause of significant digestive discomfort, if we are not careful.

Our digestive health is also linked to our immune system, and overall health and wellbeing, so now more than ever we need to look after our guts, so we can enjoy the holiday season in a happy and healthy way.

We have put together our top five digestive products that can be used to support gut health.

Feeling rubbish? Our product Immune Intensive is specially formulated to help get you back on your feet as quickly as possible.

Following on from our Low Immunity and Supporting Immunity series, we hope that you feel empowered with an understanding about how to comprehensively and holistically reduce your risk of infection in the first place, and support yourself if and when you have an infection. Now, we are shifting our focus towards how best to support ourselves post-infection since this is often characterised by symptoms which have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life.

We often under-estimate the importance of supporting our immunity until we fall ill, and also how long it can take to recover until we experience lingering symptoms following an infection. Recovery from an infection ‘normally’ lasts one to two weeks. For some, however, this recovery process can last months, even years, characterised by prolonged post-infection symptoms, such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, muscle aches, and loose bowel movements. So, why do some individuals experience this prolonged recovery period, and others do not?

Identifying the underlying drivers of lingering post-infection symptoms, and how they can go on to affect our physical and mental health, facilitates implementation of tailored nutrition and lifestyle interventions which have the most chance of helping individuals to feel better. This is important now more than ever given the emerging problem of ‘post-viral fatigue/ syndrome.’

Over the next few blogs, we will delve into the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind these prolonged post-infection symptoms, focusing on three integral areas: energy, cognitive health, and digestion.
