We understand that nutrition is individual. Not everyone has the same needs in terms of the nutrients that are key for them, the optimal amount to support their health, or how they prefer or need to take their supplements. In fact the way we want to take our supplements is changing with people often preferring to combine different supplements into one dose, often blending it into a juice or smoothie for taste and convenience.

With the government now recommending Vitamin D supplements for everyone, we take a look at the link between SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and the benefits of Vitamin D supplementation, to prepare for the onset of winter and changes of the seasons.

Children are at high risks of catching infections such as colds and flus due to their immature immune systems, and being in environments such as schools and nurseries where infections can be passed on easily from one child to another. The prescription of antibiotics to children in the UK is 700 prescriptions/1000 children per year.[i] It is suggested that 30% of antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary as many of these infections are caused by viruses including common colds, bronchitis and sinus and ear infections, whereby an antibiotic (antibacterial) will be ineffective.[ii]

This article is about the body’s response to stress, low energy levels and what we can do to help sustain our energy levels.

We live in a toxic world surrounded by harmful organisms and pollutants everyday. Read on to find out what these toxins are and what you can do to support your body.

Are you confused about multinutrients? Trying to decipher which one would be best for you, or if you actually need one? If chosen well, multinutrients can be an incredibly powerful tool to support many aspects of life, from stress, to immunity, and hormone balance. They can also support different life stages, such as fertility (male and female), pregnancy, and menopause. A carefully formulated complex containing therapeutic doses of nutrients that are easily absorbed and used by the body, is so much more than just a bog standard supplement.

Perhaps one of the most critical processes that underpins our health and wellbeing is methylation. This relatively simple chemical process, occurs billions of times every second, and is important for the proper functioning of virtually all body systems. It's a process that is called upon a lot when we are under stress, so can potentially become depleted. The research into methylation and related genetic mutations that may predispose people to an array of symptoms and chronic disease, has exploded in the last 10 years.

A good understanding of methylation is just as important for health practitioners, who want to provide a personalised plan for their clients, as it is for each one of us, enabling us to take charge of our own health and wellbeing. Knowing how to support this process with diet and lifestyle is key to achieving optimum health and hopefully preventing disease.

We often find that many women query how to support their hormones, whether this is for conception, menopause, or due to a specific symptom or condition.

We want you to be able to understand your requirements, and help you to pick the right product to meet your own individual needs. Here, we introduce you to some of our most recommended products when it comes to female hormones, fertility, pregnancy, and menopause.

The female body is a complex system of several hormones working in synergy to regulate physiology, behaviour, and the ability to thrive and reproduce. Hormone balance is a cornerstone of women’s health. Unfortunately, maintaining this natural balance has never been more difficult due to the modern environment we live in and our busy lifestyles. One of the main hormones that is directly impacted by this is oestrogen.

Read our blog, where we share our top nutrition and lifestyle tips to help you achieve hormone balance.

Male health issues are on the rise but they aren’t talked about enough! We regularly support men with a range of health challenges and it has become clear to us that there needs to be a wider dissemination of knowledge about the common drivers of male health issues and the natural interventions which can help.

We have many conversations with men who are under significant pressure from the constant juggle of work and family life. Coupled with the prevalence of processed food^[i] and environmental toxins,^[ii] this decline in men’s health comes as no surprise.

Strikingly, global sperm health has declined by 50-60% within the last 40 years.^[iii] Gentlemen, there is much that you can do to take control of your health. Now is the time for action.

Many moments in history have turned the world upside down and changed the way we live, work, behave, and think. The year 2020 is one of them. Our thoughts and actions today will have an influence on whether this year makes or breaks us as a global community, and how it is remembered by future generations. While some have rejoiced in the idea of working from the comfort of their home and continued to work relatively as normal, others have been severely affected financially, physically, and/or mentally. There is no doubt that the current pandemic has affected us all, in one way or another.

As we enter this new phase of trying to go back to work and back to school, we are also avidly following the latest news updates and many of us are growing concerned about what the future holds. Now is an opportune time to reflect on how we have been doing so far during this pandemic, how we can best support ourselves moving forwards, and how we can grow through this experience, stronger and wiser.

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.

“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.

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.
