Last month an interesting article highlighted the top 12 beauty products that can help their readers cope with the physical toll of harsh winter weather. We were delighted to see our very own BioCare^® Hair and Nail Complex as part of the list.

“Don’t let your skin and hair succumb to winter damage, fight back”, said Eloise Craven-Todd of 50connect, while discussing ways to stay steadfast against difficult winter conditions. Hair and nails can often be damaged by cold, windy and damp weather and as such, require extra care during this time. Eloise suggested that the BioCare^® Hair and Nail Complex would be an ideal supplement to prevent such deterioration.

As a source of copper, zinc and vitamin E amongst a gamut of bioavailable nutrients, BioCare^® Hair and Nail Complex supports the body’s pigmentation of hair, metabolism of the proteins required to grow it, and helps protect from oxidative stress.

Featured in their Better Body section, the article “Emergency Slimming Tips” discussed healthy recipes, tried and tested workouts, as well as weight-loss supplements.

During the 3-page article, it was suggested that dieters trying to lose weight could really benefit from a specialised, bioavailable vitamin and mineral complex, to stave off sugar cravings which some may struggle with.

Our very own Manal Chouchane, Nutritional Therapist and Clinical Nutritionist at BioCare^®, shared her thoughts on what kinds of food and drink could help to clear your head effectively. Her answer? Coconut water and guacamole on toast which are good for hydration and providing the body with the good type of fat it craves during a hangover.

The stress and atrophy the body experiences during and after a person consumes a significant quantity of alcohol can often leave it depleted of a range of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. While excellent diet and hydration is the best method to recovery, these nutrients can also be readily replenished by use of a bioavailable vitamin and mineral supplement, such as BioCare^® Adult Multivitamins and Minerals.
