HEART health

CoQ10 FOR HEART HEALTH Of the many nutrients we sell at Australian NaturalCare, there’s none we’re more passionate about than coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which works in numerous ways to support both cellular energy production and the health of the heart and blood vessels. Here’s just a small summary of what makes CoQ10 so important. Cellular energy production CoQ10 plays an integral role in the production of cellular energy (adenosine triphosphate, ATP), and is necessary for all energy-dependent processes that occur in the body. It’s also essential for the health of all tissues and organs, particularly those that are most metabolically active and therefore require the greatest amounts of energy in order to function, such as the brain, liver and most importantly, the heart. Helps maintain a healthy heart Your heart is one of the most metabolically active tissues in your body, beating continuously to circulate blood around your body. For that to happen, the heart muscle cells (also known as cardiomyocytes) require a steady supply of CoQ10 so they can generate enough ATP to continually power the contraction of the heart muscle (myocardium).

Research suggests that maintaining high levels of ubiquinol (which CoQ10 is converted to after consumption) may help to maintain heart health – especially as you get older1. Supports blood vessel health CoQ10 may also support cardiovascular health by aiding the functioning of the artery walls, which are particularly sensitive to free radical damage. Potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger Along with other risk factors such as family history, being overweight and smoking, having high levels of oxidative stress (sometimes referred to as free radical damage) can be detrimental to heart and cardiovascular health.

heart health

“

If you’re not as young as you used to be, consider taking CoQ10

Many of the heart-protecting effects of CoQ10 are attributed to its potent antioxidant properties, which work in at least three ways to support cardiovascular health: 1. CoQ10 acts as an antioxidant in its own right, helping to protect cellular membranes from free radical damage. 2. CoQ10 helps replenish vitamin E after it has performed its free radical-scavenging activities.

“

CoQ10 production, like vitamin B12 and folic acid), increased CoQ10 utilisation due to ill health, and the effects of some medicines. As a result, your CoQ10 levels may be suboptimal, and you may benefit from taking a supplement to help maintain not only heart and blood vessel health, but also general wellbeing – especially if you’re in middle age or your senior years.

You might need more CoQ10 CoQ10 is a natural component of our diets, which typically contain 3-6mg/day, from sources such as meat, fish, nuts and olive oil. However, most studies into the heart health benefits of CoQ10 supplements utilise much higher doses than are contained in our diets – usually at least 150mg per day. Some additional CoQ10 is produced in your body, but that production declines over the course of your adult life, and by the time you’re 80 years old, your CoQ10 levels may be more than 60% lower than they were in your 20s. At the same time, ageing may increase your CoQ10 needs due to factors such as reduced nutritional status (e.g. inadequacy of nutrients required for

CoQ10 levels

3. CoQ10 is incorporated into lipoprotein lipids (such as LDL- and VLDL-cholesterol, the so-called ‘bad’ forms of cholesterol), where it helps protect them from oxidation. (See page 15 to learn more about CoQ10 and cholesterol).

As you get older, your CoQ10 levels decline markedly – especially in hard-working organs like your heart, pancreas, lungs, kidneys and adrenal glands2. References: 1. Onur S, et al. BioFactors 2015;41(1):35-43 2. Kalen A, et al. Lipids 1989;24(7):579-84

Bruce Gallaher

An inspiration both on and off the sporting field Bruce Gallaher once played in a Touch Football final against ex-Australian Wallaby, Peter FitzSimons. Seeing Bruce on the football field, even seasoned players like FitzSimons probably couldn’t help but think, “Could I be like him? Will I be able to do what he’s doing when I’m his age?”

“Poppa” Gallaher wins community award

Bruce is 81. They call him “Poppa”.

His citation read “Bruce is quite simply an inspiration to both young and senior citizens in the Ballina community. He is acutely community conscious and very caring to those in need. This is evidenced by Bruce volunteering for the following organisations; Ballina Shire Meals on Wheels, Ballina Public Library (delivering library books to aged care residents) and BDCSA (Bruce was very supportive and volunteered his services to the media campaign ‘Look Out for Me’). Bruce has also been visiting residents at Crowley Village and Bupa Aged Care Facility over a long period of time. An outstanding citizen with a commitment to looking out for others. He is conscientious, diligent and consistently demonstrates a high degree of integrity. A very deserving recipient.”

He lives on the coast in Northern New South Wales and plays for the Ballina Golden Oldies side that goes by the name of “The Battered Prawns”. The game referred to was part of the World Masters Games in which FitzSimons’ team won, and Bruce’s team were runner up. That was 6 years ago and Bruce is still playing. Quitting doesn’t seem to be in his vocabulary. Golf, tenpin bowling and lawn bowls also figure prominently in his playing schedule. “I like to keep my physical levels up,” he said. Whatever talents Bruce has for the sporting field are seriously lacking when he walks into a kitchen. Don’t expect to see him on any of those competitive cooking shows on TV. He’s been a widower for 8 years now and still doesn’t consider himself to be much of a cook. He reckons the best meals he has are when he visits a mate’s house for dinner. So where does he get his energy for all this activity from? Vitamins and supplements (especially CoQ10) are an everyday part of his life. “In all honesty” says Bruce “I wouldn’t be doing all of my sporting activity if it weren’t for the vitamins and supplements”. When asked about why he’s chosen CoQ10, he went to his bookcase and produced a book by Peta Land titled Coenzyme Q10: The Wonder Nutrient. “That’s what put me onto it,” he says.

Last year, Bruce was honoured in the Australia Day awards. Not for services to sport as you might have imagined, but as Ballina’s Senior Citizen of the Year.

We’re proud to have the likes of Bruce as a regular Australian NaturalCare customer. He inspires us as well.

June Cameron

90 year old offers to make granddaughter’s wedding dress June Cameron has made a few wedding dresses in her time. They’re not easy. Lots of hand sewing, overlocking and intricate, fiddly machine sewing. But at 90, June Cameron of Bribie Island in Queensland is still up for the challenge. Her recently married granddaughter didn’t accept June’s offer to make her wedding dress, but that doesn’t mean June is short of things to do. She’s a woman with energy who likes helping people. She regularly visits the local Bribie Island Nursing Home where she volunteers to do sewing, alterations and ironing for the residents. You’d think that would be enough for a woman of her age but no, twice a week she also drives (yes, drives – she proudly boasts no points ever lost on her licence and is looking forward to passing the next driving test) to see her friend at another nursing home just outside Brisbane. June has been taking Australian NaturalCare’s CoQ10 for about 10 years now. She calls them her “energy pills” and says she “wouldn’t be without them”. A few years back she went off them for a while, but her husband noticed the difference in her energy levels and encouraged her to start taking them again. “It says ‘Get Up & Go’ on the bottle”, she says, “And I reckon that’s what they do for me”. At an age when she could be excused for spending her days relaxing in a comfy chair, June’s lust for life is extraordinary. She’s got so much energy that she attends a local Swimming Club each Tuesday morning, just to burn some of it off.

CoQ10 and cholesterol

HIGH POTENCY, HIGH QUALITY Our CoQ10 150mg One-A-Day Get Up & Go is made right here in Australia by carefullychosen manufacturers working to our stringent quality standards in accordance with the Australian Code of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). We use only the highest quality naturally-fermented raw material, regarded as the best CoQ10 in the world.

When it comes to supporting your heart and blood vessel health, one of the most valuable functions of CoQ10 is its ability to inhibit the oxidation of cholesterol molecules. But what does that actually mean, and why is it so important to your health? As you’re probably aware, cholesterol is both good and bad for your body. On the one hand it’s essential for the production of vitamin D and certain hormones, but on the other, having too much cholesterol can be detrimental to your health. Issues arise when your levels of particular types of cholesterol, called low-density lipoproteins (LDLcholesterol) and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL-cholesterol) become too high. Elevation of these so-called ‘bad’ forms of cholesterol is particularly problematic if your levels of ‘good’ cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins, or HDL-cholesterol) are simultaneously too low. But there’s another factor to be considered too, which is that cholesterol molecules and the blood vessels they travel through are highly susceptible to free radical damage (also known as oxidation). Once damaged, they become more prone to initiating inflammation and other changes in your arteries that may interfere with their healthy functioning down the track. CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant that is transported around the body by being incorporated into LDLcholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol and other lipoproteins. Along the way, its presence in those molecules makes them less susceptible to oxidative damage, and therefore helps to maintain the health and functioning of the blood vessels.

Many products on the market contain much lower doses than this or may use an inferior raw material, so if you see CoQ10 advertised cheaper elsewhere please be sure to check that it’s of equal potency and quality before handing over your money.

COQ10 150mg one-a-day get up & go CoQ10 150mg One-A-Day Get Up & Go provides an optimal dose of CoQ10 in a single convenient capsule. CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that supports healthy heart, cardiovascular and immune system function, helps inhibit the harmful oxidation of LDL-cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol), and replenishes the antioxidant activity of vitamin E. It’s also involved in the production of ATP, the energy source that fuels all bodily processes. CoQ10 150mg One-A-Day Get Up & Go may be particularly beneficial for older people as the body’s own levels of coenzyme Q10 diminish with age. 30 capsules - Order Code 1921 1 bottle $49.95 2 bottles $79.90 SAVE $20.00 CLUB 4 $39.95 SAVE $10.00 Each capsule contains: Ubidecarenone (coenzyme Q10) 150mg.

No added: Corn, dairy, lactose, wheat, gluten, sugars, yeast, preservatives, artificial flavours and colours. Recommended adult dosage: Take one capsule daily with food, or as advised by your healthcare professional. Caution: Do not take while on warfarin therapy without seeking medical advice. Club 4 purchase guide: 3 months supply is 3 bottles.

Always read the label and use only as directed. If symptoms persist please consult your healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children. Vitamin supplements should not replace a balanced diet and can only be of assistance if the dietary intake is inadequate.

Peter Kennedy

Still playing squash at 81 In our last catalogue we introduced you to Emmanuel Koungras, who was still playing competitive squash at 58 years old. Well, prepare to be impressed again, because we’ve heard about another Australian NaturalCare customer who’s also been playing for quite some time – Peter Kennedy of Ferny Hills Queensland still plays every week… at 81 years of age. Back in 1981 Peter was riding a motor scooter and managed to run into the back of a car. Not surprisingly he came off second best. As a result of the accident he damaged his right knee, which ultimately needed a total replacement a couple of years ago. But that injury didn’t stop him from playing competition squash, and it didn’t stop him from acquiring three state titles and two silver medals in the World Masters competition. In 2005, Peter won the Australian Masters title for ages 70-74. Talk about “soldiering on”. Unlike many his age, Peter isn’t taking any prescription drugs. Nor is he on any particular diet (he’s careful about things like fatty food – but does admit to indulging in the occasional Aussie meat pie). He’s been an Australian NaturalCare customer for 20 years and takes several vitamins as well as CoQ10, which has quite possibly been a contributor in giving Peter the “Get Up & Go” he needs for his competition squash. Both Emmanuel and Peter have been taking CoQ10 for a long time. Does this mean that if you take CoQ10 you too will become a great squash player? Probably not. But it certainly seems to have played an important part in these guys’ winning formula.

heart health

Exercise regularly? Think CoQ10! Whether you’re playing competitive squash, enjoying a leisurely bike ride or chasing your grandkids around in the park, exercising pushes your body to perform at a higher intensity than it does at rest. In response, your heart and lungs work harder to circulate blood throughout your body and provide the oxygen you need. Your skeletal muscles move into action too, supporting your body weight and keeping you moving. At a cellular level, all this activity requires increased amounts of a compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the basic energy-producing substance that fuels all our biological processes and functions. Since CoQ10 is involved in the manufacture of ATP and is particularly abundant in tissues with high energy requirements (including the heart and skeletal muscles), researchers have hypothesised that it may also help the body cope with the stresses and increased cellular demands that are placed on it during exercise. While there’s not yet enough scientific evidence to know exactly how CoQ10 supplements work in exercise, preliminary research provides some intriguing clues. For example, research suggests that taking CoQ10 may help prevent some of the free radical activity and oxidative changes that occur in the body after strenuous exercise1. In some studies2, people participating in research have also reported that taking CoQ10 reduces their feelings of fatigue, increases feelings of vigour,

extends the duration they can exercise for before becoming exhausted and helps them feel that they’ve performed better and recovered more quickly - however the evidence so far is variable, and more research will be required in order to confirm these findings.

GET UP & GO COQ10 50mg CoQ10 is important for the production of ATP, the energy source that fuels all bodily processes. It’s also a powerful antioxidant that supports healthy heart function, cardiovascular health and immune system function, and helps inhibit the harmful oxidation of LDLcholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol), and replenishes the antioxidant activity of vitamin E. Get Up & Go CoQ10 50mg may be particularly beneficial for older people as the body’s own levels of coenzyme Q10 diminish with age, and to help active people meet the heart and skeletal muscles’ cellular energy demands during physical activity. 30 capsules - Order Code 1920 1 bottle $31.90 2 bottles $43.80 SAVE $20.00 CLUB 4 $15.95 SAVE $15.95 Each capsule contains: Ubidecarenone (coenzyme Q10) 50mg.

KNOW YOUR CHOLESTEROL Cholesterol is transported around your body by compounds called lowdensity (LDLs, sometimes called ‘bad’ cholesterol) and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs, sometimes called ‘good’ cholesterol because they help remove excess cholesterol from the arteries). Your cholesterol reading is a combination of these, and should ideally be less than 5.5 mmol/L, with LDL being less than 2 mmol/L, and HDL higher than 1 mmol/L. The ratio between LDL and HDL should be less than 3.7.

CHOLESTEROL CARE Concerned about cholesterol? Cholesterol Care has been specially formulated to help healthy people maintain normal, healthy cholesterol, blood lipids, homocysteine metabolism and blood sugar levels, and can also help inhibit the harmful oxidation of LDL-cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol) and enhance healthy liver, gall bladder and digestive function.

Osteoarthritis understanding the risk factors

More than 1.3 million Australians have osteoarthritis, and many others are liable to be affected as they grow older. Regardless of whether you’re already suffering from osteoarthritis or are at risk of developing it, being aware of the risk factors will help you take a proactive approach to maintaining your joint health. Who’s at risk of osteoarthritis? Osteoarthritis develops as the result of a complex interaction between multiple different factors, some of which you can change, and some of which are beyond your control. Amongst the most important to be aware of are: •G etting older: The cumulative wear and tear on your joints means that the older you get, the more likely you are to experience osteoarthritis. Joint function may be further compromised by other changes that occur with age, such as declining muscle strength and increased levels of free radical activity.

•B eing overweight: Carrying too many kilos? Excess weight increases the load on the knee joint and surrounding tissues, and consequently is a strong risk factor for osteoarthritis. •H aving a history of knee injury: Have you experienced a dislocated or fractured joint, or torn cartilage or ligaments? Joint injuries such as these may predispose you to osteoarthritis later. •W ork or sport-related joint trauma: If your current or previous occupation or leisure activities involve repetitive use of your joints, the resulting trauma on the tissues may increase your risk of developing osteoarthritis. You’re particularly likely to be affected if your job or chosen sport involves frequent kneeling, squatting or heavy lifting, or involves high impact activities such as jogging or running.

www.ausnaturalcare.com.au

joint / pain relief Try this four-pronged approach:

Lighten the load on your joints by losing weight if you need to. (Dropping even 5kg or 5% of your body weight may be enough to have significant benefits for your joint health).

Stay active, and work with your physio or healthcare professional to develop an exercise regime to increase or maintain the strength of the muscles around the joint.

Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever acts on many of the body’s inflammatory mechanisms, and may provide temporary relief of arthritis pain while also improving mobility. In clinical research*, curcumin has been shown to help reduce the impact of osteoarthritis on social and leisure activities, and to enable osteoarthritis sufferers to walk longer distances without pain. (See pages 26-29 for more details).

•P oor joint mechanics: If a joint is out of alignment or surrounded by weak or lax tissues, it may lose its ability to move smoothly and thus become prone to cartilage damage and ultimately osteoarthritis.

Help your body maintain and rebuild healthy cartilage with a glucosamine supplement such as Healthy Joints (see p. 25) or Glucosamine 1500 One-A-Day (see p. 31), or try Flexicare (see p. 29), which also contains chondroitin. In addition to aiding the management of osteoarthritis by providing temporary relief of pain, these supplements may help reduce joint swelling and improve joint mobility. They act as natural nutritional building blocks for healthy cartilage, and help form the connective tissue that cushions the joints and gives them their natural shock absorbing capacity. Reference: Belcaro G et al. Alt Med Rev 2010;15(4):337-44

•F amily history: Genetic factors may account for nearly two-thirds of osteoarthritis risk, so if your parents or other family members are affected by the condition, you’re likely to be at risk too. •M aintaining joint health: If one or more of the risk factors mentioned above affects you, it’s important to take steps to help maintain your joint health and alleviate the pain, discomfort and impaired function of osteoarthritis.

Arthritis and joint problems are complex conditions with many different causes and contributing factors, and consequently, helping the symptoms and underlying tissue damage may need to be approached from several different angles at once. This handy A-Z guide will help you determine which of our many joint and pain relief supplements are most appropriate for your needs.

Antioxidants Damage from oxidative stress often leads to inflammation and pain. So consider taking antioxidant nutrients such as manganese and copper, which help fight free radical damage and are also involved in the maintenance of healthy connective tissue and cartilage. Chondroitin Along with glucosamine, chondroitin is a fundamental structural component of connective tissues, where it is required for the repair and formation of healthy cartilage and helps maintain the jointsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; natural shock absorbing properties. When taken together, glucosamine and chondroitin may provide temporary pain relief and help reduce the inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, while also helping to improve joint flexibility and mobility.

C C G G

Corydalis The analgesic herb corydalis has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine for the relief of many types of aches and pains. Curcumin A naturally occurring compound from turmeric, curcumin has potent anti-inflammatory effects that work via numerous mechanisms to help reduce joint swelling and other arthritis symptoms while also improving mobility. Ginger Ginger has been used for painful inflammatory conditions for thousands of years, and helps relieve symptoms of mild osteoarthritis such as pain, morning stiffness, muscular discomfort and reduced joint mobility. Glucosamine Like chondroitin, glucosamine is one of the natural building blocks required for the production and maintenance of healthy cartilage. When taken in doses of 1500mg per day over at least 1-2 months, glucosamine may help reduce mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis pain in the knees, as well as joint swelling, inflammation and stiffness, and improve the mobility and flexibility of affected joints. Glucosamine may also be beneficial following cartilage damage associated with sporting injuries.

M O R C w z

MSM Also known as dimethyl sulfone, MSM is an organic source of sulphur, which is a vital component of powerful antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine and reduced glutathione. Omega-3s With their potent anti-inflammatory properties, the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, krill and calamari oils may help to reduce the joint swelling and inflammation of arthritis and improve joint mobility. They also provide temporary relief from the pain of osteoarthritis. Rose hip Rose hips have traditionally been prized for the broad spectrum of nutrients they contain, which include antioxidants such as betacarotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin and vitamins C and E. They also contain compounds called galactolipids, and consequently provide symptomatic relief for osteoarthritic joints, especially in the hand. Vitamin C In addition to being a potent antioxidant, vitamin C is required for the formation of healthy collagen, the major fibrous element of cartilage, and supports the health of the connective tissue. White willow bark Best known for its ability to relieve low back pain, white willow bark has long been highly regarded for its analgesic properties, and has been shown to provide temporary relief from acute and chronic osteoarthritic pain. Zinc Like vitamin C, zinc supports the maintenance of healthy connective tissue elasticity. It also has antioxidant properties, working closely with nutrients such as copper and manganese.

GLUCOSAMINE & CHONDROITIN: do they really work? Glucosamine, chondroitin and related supplements are amongst the most popular natural health products on the market. But do they really work? Read on to learn about some of the latest research.

the progression of joint damage, which was calculated by measuring the joint space width (the space between the bones within the joint), which tends to become narrower as osteoarthritis progresses.

Glucosamine In a paper published in the European Journal of Medical Research1 in 2015, researchers pooled the data from 23 randomised controlled studies investigating the efficacy of glucosamine for osteoarthritis of the knee. The results showed that compared to placebo, glucosamine leads to an overall improvement in arthritis symptoms such as pain, stiffness and impaired joint function, and has significant benefits in terms of day-today activities such as walking.

X-rays revealed that people who took chondroitin experienced significantly less reduction in minimum joint space width than those who took placebo, signifying that the progression of the disease had slowed.

Chondroitin An analysis of the combined data from 43 randomised, controlled chondroitin trials was also published in 2015, this time in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews2. The researchers concluded that in people with osteoarthritis, chondroitin reduces pain (especially knee pain), improves joint function, and seems to improve arthritis-related quality of life. This review also found that compared to people taking placebo supplements, those taking chondroitin experienced a significant delay in

Take glucosamine and chondroitin long-term for best results It has been known for several years that the pain relieving effects of glucosamine and chondroitin may take at least one or two months to become noticeable, however, other research papers3,4 published in 2014 suggest that in order for structural changes such as the reduced joint space narrowing mentioned above to occur, glucosamine and/or chondrotin may need to be taken for at least two years.

DON’T BUY THE WRONG TYPE OF GLUCOSAMINE! The most common forms of glucosamine on the market are glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride. If you didn’t know better, glucosamine hydrochloride might seem like an attractive option because the tablets tend to be smaller and some people find them easier to swallow. But don’t be tempted! There’s a reason we only use glucosamine sulfate here at Australian NaturalCare. That’s because when you look at the body of scientific evidence, glucosamine sulfate comes out way ahead, while glucosamine hydrochloride does not appear to be as effective.

Healthy Joints Healthy Joints helps give temporary relief from arthritis pain, and helps reduce the joint stiffness and inflammation of osteoarthritis. When taken as directed, Healthy Joints provides 1500mg of glucosamine sulfate per day. In several clinical trials, this dose of glucosamine has been shown to help reduce mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis pain and enhance joint flexibility, particularly in the knees. Healthy Joints may also help reduce inflammation and swelling associated with osteoarthritis, and assist with pain relief, tissue repair, and functional improvements when cartilage damage is due to a sporting injury.

Healthy Joints contains glucosamine sulfate, a clinically trialled form of glucosamine that helps regenerate cartilage by providing the body with the compounds called proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, which are the natural building blocks required for the formation of cartilage cells. In addition, glucosamine sulfate stimulates the activity of the cartilage cells (called chondrocytes) and supports the cartilage’s cushioning effect on the joints. In Healthy Joints, glucosamine sulfate is accompanied by the nutritional cofactors vitamin C, citrus bioflavonoids, zinc, manganese and copper, which help maintain connective tissue and cartilage health.

Curcumin:

potent anti-inflammatory Do you suffer from an inflammatory condition such as osteoarthritis? The inflammatory processes that occur in the body involve the release and activity of a wide variety of different compounds known as inflammatory mediators, which include cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX). In osteoarthritis, elevated levels of inflammatory mediators are found in and around the joint tissues, where they contribute to the degradation of the cartilage and joint structure. (For example, elevated COX-2 levels may lead to overgrowth of the cells lining the joints, with the resulting thickening of the tissue contributing to the joint stiffness that is characteristic of osteoarthritis). Curcumin is a naturally occurring compound from turmeric that has potent anti-inflammatory actions, acting on many different inflammatory pathways to provide symptomatic relief for osteoarthritis and other inflammatory conditions.

As a result of these anti-inflammatory effects, if you’re suffering from osteoarthritis, curcumin may help by providing temporary relief from joint pain, improving joint mobility, increasing the distance you can walk before pain makes you take a break, and reducing the impact of osteoarthritis on your social and leisure activities. However, it’s important to be aware that since curcumin is poorly absorbed and utilised by the body, not all curcumin supplements are able to deliver these benefits. In contrast, Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever from Australian NaturalCare contains a proprietary, clinically-trialled preparation that’s absorbed up to 29 times more effectively and more than twice as quickly as standard curcumin products. Reference: Kertia N, et al. Acta Medica Indonesiana 2012;44(2):105-13

Clinical research suggests that in people with osteoarthritis of the knee, taking curcumin for four weeks significantly reduces the secretion of COX-2 enzymes in the knee joints and synovial fluid*, indicating an inhibition of the body’s inflammatory processes.

Nerida Farrow

The gardener getting pain relief from a plant Nerida Farrow loved “The Very Best Marigold Hotel”. The dialogue line she remembers from it was “There’s no present like time”, uttered by Maggie Smith towards the end of the movie. This cute play on words struck a chord with Nerida. And at 86, this independent grandma of four, is certainly trying to get the best out of every minute.

Besides the gardening club, she is a member of Friends of the Ballet and a craft group where she does knitting and quilting. Not long ago, at a meeting of National Seniors that she attended, the after-lunch speaker was from Australian NaturalCare. It was here Nerida discovered our Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever tablets.

She still lives in the home on the headland overlooking one of Sydney’s Northern Beaches that she bought 57 years ago. Today she shares it with her Russian Blue cat who she says is “king of the house.”

After two back operations and a recent carpal tunnel operation, she was happy to find something that gave her relief from the piercing, shooting pain and the cramps she’d been experiencing. “It makes life much more comfortable” she says.

This is not gardening country. The topsoil is sparse and the onshore salt winds defy most ornamental garden plants to get beyond the seedling stage. Still, Nerida loves gardening. She tried trucking in topsoil in the early days but after fruitless attempts she’s settled for a rock garden filled mainly with succulents.

For someone still active with her gardening and sewing, the improved mobility and dexterity she has experienced since taking Curcumin, is a true blessing.

What does someone who likes playing in the dirt do under these circumstances? Nerida joined a garden club. For 25 years she found joy in other people’s gardens; talking gardens at club meetings; arranging bus trips for members to the Southern Highlands to see the Autumnal display; visiting “open” gardens.

How appropriate that a gardener should find pain relief derived from the turmeric plant!

Anna Chappell.

Some care for the care giver Anna Chappell migrated from her native Scotland 61 years ago, to an Australia that was, at the time, viewed as a bit of a cultural backwater. There she’d been, at age 18 in Glasgow, ready to go to university and to immerse herself in an adult life that included the delights of opera, ballet and Shakespeare at The Citizens Theatre. Before this was to be however, her father came home one day with the news that the family would be moving to Australia. Destination? Wollongong. University was now out of the question. In fact, at that time there were very few options open to the career-minded Anna. But jobs in nursing were available to her, and proved to be the cornerstone of a long, diverse career in care giving. Anna worked and studied. General nursing, midwifery and gerontology all appeared on her résumé over time. When osteoarthritis made its unwelcome entrance into her life she decided she would have to “do something for myself.” She had a pretty good idea of the medical treatments available at the time, but she was also aware of complementary medicines.

Not one to do things by halves, Anna chose to study naturopathy, and would ultimately have her own clinic where she was able to help many others with her knowledge of the healing powers of vitamins and herbs. Along the way she tried and tested various remedies on her own osteoarthritis before settling on Australian NaturalCare’s Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever as “the one that works the best” for her. With her naturopathic qualifications and nursing background, Anna knew how to trial these remedies, and knew how to observe her own responses and reactions to them. The powerful anti-inflammatory properties of Curcumin helped reduce her pain and swelling. These days, at 79, and after recent surgery on her back, Anna combines her daily intake of Curcumin with breathing exercises and meditation to keep pain under control. Anna spent over 50 years caring for others – we’re thrilled our Curcumin product has been able to do something for her in return.

GLUCOSAMINE + walking: a powerful team When your joints are aching, it’s tempting to rest so you don’t aggravate them. But staying active is one of the most effective steps you can take to manage your pain and improve joint function – especially if you team your exercise program with glucosamine. Among people with osteoarthritis of the knee and those prone to developing it, the ones who spend the most time each day involved in physical activities are less likely in subsequent years, to experience disabling arthritis symptoms such as the inability to perform tasks like dressing, bathing and walking than those who are sedentary – even if they only engage in activities that are light in intensity. Walking is the exercise of choice for many arthritis sufferers because it’s low impact, requires no special skills or equipment, and is freely accessible to all able-bodied adults. In research conducted in Brisbane*, osteoarthritis sufferers who hadn’t previously been very active participated in an 18-week clinical study that combined regular walking with the use of glucosamine supplements. For the first six weeks of the study, participants maintained their usual levels of activity and took

1500mg glucosamine sulfate daily, which resulted in improvements in arthritis symptoms, physical function and general activity levels. Over the following 12 weeks, participants continued to take their glucosamine supplements, but also walked 1500 steps per day (approximately 15 minutes) on either three or five days of the week, gradually increasing to 3000, and later 6000, steps. During this phase of the study, their arthritis symptoms, physical functioning and activity levels all continued to improve. What makes walking and glucosamine such a winning combination? Like other forms of exercise, walking improves joint stability and range of motion, increases aerobic fitness, and may also have positive effects on the fatigue and mood problems that can accompany osteoarthritis. On the other hand, glucosamine works by helping maintain cartilage health, and may aid osteoarthritis sufferers by providing temporary relief from osteoarthritis pain, relieving stiffness, reducing swelling and inflammation, and improving joint mobility.

WHY 1500MG OF GLUCOSAMINE? Most clinical studies investigating the efficacy of glucosamine for the relief of osteoarthritis symptoms have used doses of 1500mg per day. At that dose, glucosamine often needs to be taken for 4-6 weeks before a marked effect on symptoms is observed. So, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of those people who usually only remembers to take their supplements once a day, choose Glucosamine 1500 One-A-Day Healthy Joints, which provides a clinically-tested dose of glucosamine in a single daily tablet.

GLUCOSAMINE 1500 One-A-Day Healthy Joints Glucosamine 1500 is a high potency, one-a-day formula providing a clinically proven dose of glucosamine sulfate in a single convenient tablet. In several clinical trials, taking 1500mg of glucosamine sulfate per day has been shown to reduce mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis pain, reduce inflammation associated with arthritis and enhance joint flexibility, particularly in the knees. Glucosamine 1500 may also assist with pain relief, tissue repair, and functional improvements when cartilage damage is due to sporting injury. Glucosamine 1500 contains glucosamine sulfate, a clinically trialled form of glucosamine that helps regenerate cartilage by providing the body with the compounds called proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, which are the natural building blocks required for the formation of cartilage cells.

Beat back pain with willow bark Suffering from a sore back or other aches and pains? Often striking people in their mid-40s to mid-60s, back pain affects around one in three people in any given month, and besides causing discomfort, may interfere with your work, exercise or tasks such as shopping and housework. Clinical trials have shown that willow bark provides temporary relief from acute and chronic low back pain, particularly when taken at doses standardised to provide 240mg per day of the active constituent salicin1. One study involved 210 people with acute flare-ups of chronic low back pain that had persisted for more than six months. By the end of the 4-week study, those who took a daily dose of willow bark providing 240mg salicin were more likely to experience at least five pain-free days per week than those who took either 120mg salicin or a placebo, and were also significantly less likely to require additional pain relief2.

ROSE HIP 2.5G Suffering from stiff, aching fingers and other joints? Rose Hip 2.5g may assist in the management of osteoarthritis pain and help improve the mobility of arthritic joints. It may be particularly beneficial for osteoarthritis in the joints of the hand, which may impair your ability to perform some of the tasks of daily living or interfere with your enjoyment of activities that involve fine hand movements, such as knitting or playing the piano. Rose Hip’s benefits in osteoarthritis are believed to be due to the presence of compounds called galactolipids.

Healthy Joints Double Action Fight osteoarthritis in two ways with Healthy Joints Double Action, which combines a clinically proven dose of glucosamine sulfate with MSM for additional nutritional support of the joints and cartilage. In clinical trials, 1500mg of glucosamine sulfate per day has been shown to provide temporary relief from mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis pain, reduce inflammation associated with arthritis and enhance joint flexibility. It may also be beneficial for cartilage damage caused by sporting injury. MSM (also known as dimethyl sulfone) is an organic source of sulfur, which is a vital component of powerful antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine and reduced glutathione that are naturally produced by the body and combat the oxidative stress that can lead to inflammation and joint pain.

GLUCOSAMINE PLUS FISH OIL

A WINNING COMBO Attack osteoarthritis from two angles with Glucosamine Plus Fish Oil, which intervenes in several of the processes that occur in the development of osteoarthritis. Glucosamine provides the building blocks for cartilage repair and stimulates the activity of the cartilage cells (chondrocytes), so progressive use may enhance joint flexibility and mobility. Meanwhile, the omega-3 fats found in fish oil inhibit some of the body’s inflammatory pathways, ultimately producing an anti-inflammatory effect.

Glucosamine Plus Fish Oil combines the joint and cartilage benefits of glucosamine sulfate with the antiinflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids to aid in the temporary relief of osteoarthritis pain. In clinical trials, 1500mg of glucosamine sulfate per day has been shown to provide temporary relief from mildto-moderate osteoarthritis pain, reduce inflammation associated with arthritis and enhance joint flexibility. The anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats EPA and DHA may help reduce joint inflammation and increase joint mobility in osteoarthritis. 90 capsules - Order Code 2222 1 bottle $31.90 2 bottles $49.80 SAVE $14.00 Club 4 $15.95 SAVE $15.95 Each capsule contains: Glucosamine sulfate-potassium chloride complex 666.7mg, equiv. to glucosamine sulfate 500mg • Fish oil - natural 500mg, equiv. to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 90mg, equiv. to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) 60mg.

THIGH MASSAGE MAY RELIEVE KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS If you’ve got osteoarthritis of the knee, regularly massaging your quadriceps muscle (the bulky muscle on the front of your thigh) may help. In recent research, osteoarthritis sufferers who performed 20-minute quadriceps massages twice per week experienced improvements in their arthritis pain, stiffness and flexibility. This study involved thigh massage rather than massage of the arthritic joint because it is now believed that weakness or dysfunction of the quads may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis of the knee.

HEALTHY JOINTS CREAM FOR PAIN RELIEF Soothe your aching joints with Healthy Joints Cream, which combines the warming properties of capsicum (cayenne pepper) with glucosamine, which is used by the body to help protect, maintain and rebuild healthy cartilage. For temporary relief from arthritic pain, gently massage into painful joints three to four times daily.

Muscle cramps? You may need more magnesium Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night suffering from muscle cramps in your calves or feet?

Herbs for additional cramp relief Several herbs may also be beneficial for cramping, spasmodic and painful conditions.

Around one in three adults do, and many also experience residual muscle pain in the following days.

For example, as its name suggests, cramp bark has traditionally been used to help relieve cramps, regardless of whether they affect skeletal muscle (muscles attached to your skeleton and that you’re able to move voluntarily, such as your calves) or smooth muscle (muscles that work without you needing to consciously activate them, like those in your digestive system).

Under normal circumstances, when you voluntarily squeeze your calf, its muscle fibres and associated neurons work together to make the muscle contract. However, during a cramp, the speed and intensity at which the muscle is activated occurs much more intensely – and may occur up to four times more rapidly too! No wonder the pain is so agonising! It’s still not known why some people experience cramps and others don’t, and a number of different factors may be involved. Magnesium helps prevent and relieve cramps Importantly, a tendency to experience muscle cramps and spasms may be indicative of low levels of magnesium, which is essential for the conduction of nerve impulses and the contraction and relaxation of muscles. Maintaining adequate levels of magnesium may help reduce the frequency of muscle cramps and relieve their pain, and magnesium’s musclerelaxing properties may help other painful conditions too, including strains, menstrual cramps, tension headaches and migraines.

Among other uses, this traditional Native American remedy may be beneficial for muscle cramps, stomach cramps and period pain. Similarly, ginger has traditionally been regarded as having antispasmodic properties and taken to relieve period pain, menstrual cramps and painful digestive upsets such as colic, flatulence and bloating. It also helps relieve the muscular discomfort and morning joint stiffness associated with mild rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.

Ginger relieves period pain Also known as dysmenorrhoea, period pain can affect up to half of all menstruating women, interfering with their ability to function normally at work and school. In a placebo-controlled study involving young women with moderate to severe dysmenorrhoea, taking 1500mg of ginger per day was shown to significantly reduce the severity of period pain. When taken two days prior to the onset of menstruation and during the initial few days of the period, it also reduced the duration of the pain. Reference: Rahnama P, et al.

Are you getting enough vitamin E? Australian health authorities have estimated an adequate intake of vitamin E to be 10mg/day for men, and 7mg for women (equivalent to 14.9IU and 10.4IU respectively); however, many people may not obtain these quantities of vitamin E from their diets. For example, a dietary survey involving 150 people aged 55-85 years old from the Newcastle area in NSW estimated their average intake at only 5.8mg/day (8.6IU)1. Vitamin E and healthy ageing These findings are particularly concerning for people in this age group because many of the functions of vitamin E become increasingly important as we age.

Vitamin E in your diet Over the long term, maintaining high serum levels of vitamin E may help maintain healthy heart function and peripheral circulation, so ideally, your diet should contain plenty of vitamin E from sources such as wheat germ, olive oil, nuts and seeds. However, US data2 suggests that for many people, maintaining optimal vitamin E status through dietary sources alone is difficult, and that doing so may be achievable only by those who are highly motivated and conscientious about including vitamin E-rich foods in their diets.

Among other functions, vitamin E helps to:

For others, taking vitamin E supplements may be a valuable way to guard against nutritional shortfalls of this important antioxidant and support your cardiovascular and immune health.

ü Maintain blood circulation to the peripheral

areas of the body such as the legs, hands and feet

ü Enhance immune function Potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger These health benefits are largely due to vitamin E’s potent antioxidant properties, which enable it to act as the body’s first line of defence against free radical damage to fats (sometimes referred to as lipid peroxidation) and cell membranes. For example, its benefits for cholesterol health are due to its ability to inhibit the oxidation of LDLcholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol) in blood plasma and cell membranes.

NATURAL VITAMIN E 500 IU Natural Vitamin E 500 IU provides nutritional support for the heart, arteries and capillaries, and helps maintain circulation to the peripheral areas of the body such as the legs, hands and feet. As a potent antioxidant, it aids the maintenance of normal healthy cholesterol levels by helping to inhibit the harmful oxidation of LDL-cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol). Over the long-term, having higher serum levels of vitamin E may help maintain cardiovascular health.

Boost bone & blood vessel health with

vitamin K2 Vitamin K2 is being hailed as the latest breakthrough in nutritional science, with important long-term health benefits for both your bones and your blood vessels.

Over the long term, these benefits of vitamin K2 may help slow the reductions in bone mineral density and bone strength that many women experience after menopause.

Healthy blood vessels Vitamin K is best known for its role in helping maintain normal healthy blood coagulation, the process the body uses to control bleeding.

For example, in a clinical trial2 in which postmenopausal women took 180mcg of vitamin K2 (MK7), three years of treatment led to significantly less decline in bone mineral content and bone mineral density at the top of the thigh bone (femoral head) and in the lower spine.

In a study published in 20151, the arteries of healthy post-menopausal women who had taken 180mcg of vitamin K2 per day for three years were shown to be more flexible at the end of the study than they had been at the beginning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; despite the fact that arteries usually lose flexibility as we get older due to the ongoing deposition of calcium in the blood vessel walls. This effect occurs because vitamin K2 activates a protein in the body that binds to calcium and inhibits its adhesion to the blood vessel wall, where it can cause stiffening. Bone health A similar process occurs in the bones, where vitamin K2 plays an essential role in bone mineralisation, activating a protein called osteocalcin, which helps bone cells bind calcium to the bones and aids their formation, strength and repair.

Vitamin D deficiency in Australia The latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)*, published in July 2014, suggest that nearly a quarter of all Australian adults may be deficient in vitamin D, which enhances calcium absorption, helps build strong healthy bones, and helps maintain muscle strength and immune function. While vitamin D is especially important for older men and women because it may help decrease their risk of falls and fractures, deficiency is not restricted to that age group. The ABS data reveals that 31% of 18-34 year olds are also likely to be vitamin D deficient, along with around 15% of teens.

You need to be particularly careful to ensure you have adequate vitamin D levels if you have dark skin, or wear modest clothing that protects your skin from the sun. People who work inside all day are also at increased risk of vitamin D deficiency (especially in winter), and those who are housebound or hospitalised are even more likely to be deficient. Reference: Australian Bureau of Statistics. Australian Health Survey: accessed March 2015 from http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/4364.0.55.006Chapter2002011-12

Since vitamin D is produced in your skin when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exposed to sunlight, deficiency is more common in the southern parts of the country, and increases across the nation during winter (when almost half the adult population of Victoria and the ACT are estimated to be deficient).

HOW MUCH SUNSHINE DO YOU NEED? The amount of sunlight you need for vitamin D production varies. As a guide, if you have moderately fair skin, spend 5-10 minutes with your arms exposed to the sun on most days during summer (taking care to avoid peak UV times in the middle of the day), and up to 30 minutes on most days during winter. If you have darker skin, aim for up to 60 minutes during summer and even longer during winter.

VITAMIN D3 1000 IU Despite our sunny climate, many Australians have low levels of vitamin D. This important nutrient aids calcium absorption, helps maintain and build healthy bones, and is required for the maintenance of muscle strength. In older people, Vitamin D3 1000 IU may help decrease the risk of falls and fractures. Also assists healthy functioning of the immune system.

CALCIUM HELPS PREVENT OSTEOPOROSIS Maintaining adequate calcium levels throughout life helps build and maintain strong healthy bones, and may help reduce the risk of osteoporosis – but it has been estimated that fewer than half of all Australian adults obtain the recommended daily amount of calcium from their diets. To get the 1000-1300mg of calcium you need daily, try to consume at least three servings of dairy every day. If that’s not consistently achievable for you, consider taking a calcium supplement.

Do you need a

multi? New research recently published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics* reveals that many of us are not eating as well as we should, and may be missing out on important nutrients. Based on dietary surveys of more than 12,000 people, this latest data reveals some concerning statistics about the prevalence of nutritional inadequacies in the Australian diet. For example, nearly half of all adult women (48%) and around one in five men are not consuming the estimated average requirement (EAR) for vitamin B6 from their diets. Inadequate vitamin B6 intake becomes even more common in older age groups, affecting 72% of women and 57% of men aged over 70. Around 20% of men and women in the same age group don’t consume enough vitamin B2. Other nutrient deficits that were shown to be particularly prevalent in the diets of middle aged and older Australians include:

ü Magnesium:

Almost half of all men and a third of all women in their 50s and 60s have inadequate dietary intakes of magnesium, increasing to nearly two-thirds of men and nearly half of all women older than 70

ü Zinc: Fewer than half of all Australian men in

their 50s and 60s and a third of those aged over 71 consume adequate amounts of zinc, which is especially important for immune health. (The statistics for women are less concerning, but still reveal that more than one in 10 older Australian women is not consuming enough zinc)

ü Selenium:

Approximately 10% of men and women aged 71 and older don’t consume enough of this important antioxidant mineral

You’re particularly likely to be prone to nutritional deficiencies if you’re not managing to eat fresh fruit and vegetables with every meal or are vegetarian or vegan. Being busy or stressed may exacerbate the issue by increasing your requirements for some nutrients. While nothing beats a balanced diet to provide you with a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, taking a comprehensive multivitamin and mineral supplement may help to ensure you’re getting adequate amounts of key nutrients, improving your micronutrient status and supporting your immune function and general health and wellbeing.

lysine 1000

VITAMIN B12 1000mcg

Do you suffer from cold sores? Lysine helps reduce the frequency and severity of cold sore outbreaks and decreases the time they take to heal. It also provides symptomatic relief from cold sore symptoms such as itching, pain and burning, and supports healthy immune system function and the healing of minor wounds. The Herpes simplex virus responsible for cold sores requires large amounts of the amino acid arginine. Lysine competes with arginine for absorption, creating a situation in which lysine levels are relatively high compared to arginine, which may inhibit the replication of the virus.

Are you getting enough vitamin B12? Up to 43% of older people may be deficient in this important vitamin, with vegetarians and people with digestive disorders also being at risk. Vitamin B12 helps maintain healthy red and white blood cells and is required for healthy immune and nervous system function. It also plays an essential part in lowering levels of homocysteine (a marker of inflammation in the body). Great tasting raspberry flavoured tablet that dissolves in the mouth to enhance absorption.

Stressed? Take vitamins B and C Are you under physical or mental stress? The human body has a remarkable capacity to bounce back from occasional stress and tension, but the demands of severe and/or enduring stress (routinely working long hours, for instance) may impede the physiological mechanisms that enable you to cope under pressure.

Vitamin C Vitamin C works closely with the B-group vitamins, and plays important roles in the body’s stress coping mechanisms and the production of key neurotransmitters. It’s also important for the metabolism of folic acid.

During such times of high physical demand, your nutritional requirements for the B-complex vitamins and vitamin C may also increase. B vitamins The B-complex vitamins work closely together to provide nutritional support for the healthy functioning of the nervous system, and may be beneficial during periods of increased physical and mental stress. The B-vitamins support nervous system health in numerous ways. For example, several (including folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12) are required for the production and regulation of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. If levels of these vitamins become too low, neurotransmitter production may decrease, ultimately leading to changes in mood. Additionally, folic acid and vitamins B2, B6 and B12 are involved in the regulation and processing of the amino acid homocysteine, high levels of which are associated with increased oxidative stress (free radical activity), and may contribute to feelings of stress and fatigue, among other health problems. In addition, vitamin B1 is essential for nerve conduction, vitamin B5 plays a vital role in adrenal function and the production of adrenal hormones, and vitamin B12 is required for the production of nerve cells and the myelin sheath that lines the nerves.

SUPER B 50 Stressed? Need more energy? Super B 50 provides nutritional support for the nervous system during times of physical and mental stress and contains high doses of the B-group vitamins required by the body for the conversion of food into energy. Super B 50 also aids digestion (including the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates) and can assist in maintaining healthy blood. Also contains vitamin C, which may be beneficial during times of increased demand. 120 tablets - Order Code 1513 1 bottle $33.90 2 bottles $52.80 SAVE $15.00 CLUB 4 $16.95 SAVE $16.95 Each tablet contains: Thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B1) 50mg • Riboflavin (vitamin B2) 50mg • Nicotinamide (vitamin B3) 50mg • Calcium pantothenate 55mg, equiv. to pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) 50mg • Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6) 50mg • Folic acid 400mcg • Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) 50mcg • Biotin 50mcg • Choline bitartrate 50mg • Inositol 100mg • Lecithin 50mg • Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) 100mg.

THINK ABOUT ZINC FOR IMMUNE HEALTH As we get older, our dietary intake of zinc tends to decline. Although recent data is lacking, research from the Australian Bureau of Statistics suggests that more than 90% of Australian women over 65 years old consume less than the recommended dietary intake (RDI) for zinc. Older people may be particularly susceptible to the consequences of low zinc levels too, which may include issues such as reduced immune function.

No single antioxidant can deactivate all free radicals, so Ultra Antioxidant Complex teams key free radical fighting-nutrients with potent herbal antioxidants for optimal activity. Includes green tea and vitamin E to help inhibit the harmful oxidation of lipids and LDL-cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol), milk thistle to provide a protective and regenerative effect on the liver, and grape seed, which has protective effects on the capillaries and circulatory system. Also present are the antioxidant nutrients betacarotene, vitamin C, selenium, zinc and manganese, plus B-group vitamins to help decrease homocysteine levels.

Zinc Plus assists skin healing and helps maintain healthy skin and oil gland function, so it may be beneficial for minor skin conditions, such as acne, burns and superficial wounds. Zinc also has potent antioxidant properties and plays a key role in healthy immune function, supporting the body in fighting infections. It is especially important for men’s reproductive health, including helping to maintain healthy male physiology in mature men. Older people and vegetarians have increased zinc requirements and may benefit from taking Zinc Plus. Includes nutritional co-factors to enhance zinc absorption and utilisation. 90 tablets - Order Code 2123 1 bottle $18.00 2 bottles $29.00 SAVE $7.00 CLUB 4 $9.00 SAVE $9.00 Each tablet contains: Zinc 15mg (as amino acid chelate) • Magnesium 4mg (as amino acid chelate) • Manganese 200mcg (as amino acid chelate) • Copper 7mcg (as gluconate) • Dunaliella salina extract conc. equiv. to cell fresh 78.75mg, equiv. to carotenoids calculated as betacarotene 3mg • Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6) 5mg.

alpha lipoic acid 200mg

SELENIUM 150MCG Selenium is essential for healthy thyroid and immune system function, and helps maintain tissue elasticity. It is also required for the production of testosterone, and the healthy development and motility (mobility) of the sperm. Studies show that many Australians don’t obtain the estimated requirements of selenium from their diets, which may lead to suboptimal activity levels of antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase. Contains selenomethionine, a highly bioavailable form of selenium that’s more readily absorbed than some other forms of selenium such as sodium selenite.

Alpha lipoic acid may help healthy people maintain normal healthy blood sugar levels. It supports glucose metabolism and is involved in the cellular uptake of glucose and the conversion of carbohydrates into energy. In addition, it is a potent antioxidant that supports healthy ageing, helps maintain cardiovascular health and helps protect LDL-cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol) from oxidation. Unlike other antioxidants, alpha lipoic acid helps neutralise free radicals in both watery and fatty environments within the body.

Omega-3 OILS for healthy ageing Maintaining optimal nutrition is one of the most crucial ways to improve the likelihood of staying healthy in your senior years. Amongst the many nutrients vital for healthy ageing and the maintenance of wellbeing, the omega-3 fatty acids play an important role due to their widespread health benefits. As your body can’t produce these vital ‘healthy fats’, you need to obtain them from your diet, predominantly from fish - or take supplements such as fish, krill or calamari oil capsules. (TIP: If you’re not sure whether you’re eating enough fish, the article on page 53 offers some handy hints). Read on for a brief summary of the myriad of benefits that omega-3 fatty acids offer for human health – especially for those of us who aren’t as young as we used to be! Heart and blood vessel health It goes without saying that heart health is at the core of healthy ageing, along with the health of the arteries, veins and smaller blood vessels.

Eating a diet containing large quantities of fish helps maintain key aspects of cardiovascular health - especially when the species consumed are high in the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These omega-3s support heart and blood vessel health in numerous ways, including helping healthy people to maintain healthy blood lipid levels, including healthy levels of triglycerides, ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL) and ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL) and a healthy ratio of HDL:LDL. It also helps maintain peripheral circulation, including the circulation to the hands, lower legs and feet. Arthritis and inflammation As we get older, we become more and more susceptible to ‘wear and tear’ conditions such as osteoarthritis, which involve both inflammatory processes and damage to the tissues. Omega-3 fatty acids have potent antiinflammatory properties, and consequently may

nutritionaloils oils nutritional Having an adequate intake of omega-3s may help to maintain the health and functioning of the ageing brain, with particular benefits for cognitive function and memory. DHA (found in concentrated quantities in calamari oil) is particularly important here, as it is a major structural component of the brain tissue and central nervous system. For older people, low levels of DHA may be linked to poor memory, and consuming high quantities of DHA in the diet may be associated with better cognitive function. Vision and eye health Similarly, consuming high quantities of omega-3 fatty acids (especially DHA) may help to maintain the structural integrity and visual function of the eyes, and in particular the retina. These effects may be at least partially due to the omega-3sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; anti-inflammatory properties and blood vessel benefits.

be beneficial in mild osteoarthritis and a wide range of other conditions associated with pain, swelling and inflammation. For example, supplements such as krill oil, fish oil and calamari oil may provide temporary relief from the pain of mild osteoarthritis, and may help reduce the restricted joint mobility associated with mild osteoarthritis.

KRILL OIL:

readily-absorbed omega-3s Fish oil is one of the most popular natural health supplements in Australia, but many people never experience its full benefits because they find it difficult to consume the recommended dosage of up to 12 capsules per day.

Tests conducted over the subsequent 72 hours showed that despite the two supplements containing similar quantities of EPA and DHA, the body was able to use greater quantities of those obtained from krill oil.

If that sounds like you, have you considered switching to krill oil instead?

An earlier study2 had found that taking a combined total of 543mg of EPA and DHA from krill oil was equivalent to taking 864mg of EPA and DHA from fish oil.

Why? Because research suggests that the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA may be more readily absorbed and utilised by the body when consumed in krill oil than they are from fish oil. For example, in a study1 published in the journal Lipids in Health and Disease in 2015, researchers compared the bioavailability of omega-3s from the two different sources by giving participants krill oil and fish oil supplements containing almost equivalent amounts of EPA and DHA.

The greater uptake of these fatty acids from krill oil is believed to occur because a large proportion of the omega-3 fats in krill oil are predominantly bound to phospholipids (which are major structural components of human cells and intracellular membranes), while those in fish oil are predominantly bound to triglycerides – however other factors may also be involved.

KRILL OIL 500mg Krill Oil 500mg is a valuable natural source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, the majority of which are bound to phospholipids, making them more easily absorbed and incorporated into the cells than omega-3s from fish oil. Krill Oil 500mg may provide temporary relief from the pain of osteoarthritis, reduce joint inflammation and swelling, and increase joint mobility. It helps healthy people maintain normal cholesterol levels and a healthy ratio of ‘good’ (HDL) to ‘bad’ (LDL) cholesterol. For women, Krill Oil 500mg may aid the management of premenstrual syndrome and relieve menstrual symptoms such as period pain, breast pain, irritability, stress and moodiness. DHA and EPA also assist in the maintenance of normal brain and eye function, and are required for healthy cell membranes. Krill Oil 500mg is also a natural source of astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant.

CALAMARI OIL for brain health Calamari oil is a concentrated, natural source of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, which plays a vital role in brain health throughout life, from before birth to old age.

experience as they get older4. On the other hand, having high levels of omega-3s such as DHA may promote learning and memory functions and may help delay cognitive decline.

For unborn babies and growing infants, DHA is vital for normal healthy development of the brain, nervous system and eyes. It becomes especially important during the last trimester of pregnancy, when it facilitates the rapid growth and development of the brain tissue.

In one study, published in the medical journal Age in 20134, researchers measured the dietary intake of DHA and EPA (another omega-3 essential fatty acid found in calamari oil) in a group of people aged 70 years old who had healthy brain function.

At the opposite end of the lifespan, maintaining adequate intake of omega-3s, and especially DHA, may help to maintain cognitive functioning and the health of the ageing brain, with particular benefits for memory and learning.

When the participants’ cognitive functions were tested five years later (at age 75), the results showed that those who had consumed the highest quantities of DHA (and EPA) had higher levels of cognitive performance than those who had consumed the lowest quantities.

Studies suggest that having low levels of DHA may be linked to poor memory function1,2,3 and may accelerate the cognitive decline that many people

ARE YOU EATING ENOUGH FISH? The Australian Heart Foundation recommends we eat two to three 150 gram servings of oily fish each week in order to get the omega-3s we need to help maintain the health of our heart and blood vessels. However, it appears that most of us simply don’t manage to include that much fish in our diets – in fact, it has been estimated that around 60% of us don’t eat the recommended quantities. Unfortunately, getting enough fish in your diet involves more than simply having tuna on your sandwiches a couple of times a week, as that will only give you around 50 or 60 grams at a time (around half a small tin), and consequently will mean that over the course of a week, you’re actually only consuming around a single serve. To make a real impact on your omega-3 levels, you’ll need to dish up a hearty serving of oily fish such as salmon, sardines, tuna or mackerel several times a week. Don’t use increasing your omega-3 intake as an excuse to head to the local fish and chip shop for takeaway though – the negative effects of the deep-fried batter could well and truly counterbalance any health benefits of the omega-3s! Instead, make friends with your local fishmonger, and enjoy home-made seafood meals such as delicious poached salmon, oven-baked tuna, or an Italian-style sardine dish in a luscious tomatobased sauce.

And if you’re still not sure you’re eating enough fish, consider taking an omega-3 supplement to ensure you’re not missing out on these important essential fatty acids.

FISH OIL 1000mg Fish Oil 1000mg is a rich source of the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, which help maintain heart health, support healthy triglyceride levels and assist peripheral circulation. Omega-3s may also temporarily relieve arthritis pain and inflammation, and improve joint mobility.

Good old-fashioned immune support Cod liver oil was subjected to clinical trials as far back as the 1930s, when it was found to dramatically reduce work absences caused by respiratory illness. It’s one of the few dietary sources of vitamin D, and is also rich in vitamin A, both of which are important for immune health. Vitamin A supports the health of the mucous membranes that act as the body’s first barrier against infection, and vitamin D is involved in the activation of cells involved in the immune system responses.

Ginkgo supports the ageing brain When taken as a standardised extract, Ginkgo may enhance healthy cognitive function, and help improve memory, concentration and mental alertness. Ginkgo’s benefits for supporting healthy brain function have been published in many clinical trials, including a long-running French study investigating the factors that contribute to cognitive health as we age. In this research, the mental functioning of a group of 3,612 healthy people aged 65 years and over was assessed every two to three years over a 20-year period using tests designed to measure cognitive functions such as memory, attention, verbal fluency, mental calculation and the ability to follow simple instructions. Many people find that as they get older, their memory and other aspects of their mental functioning decline. However, the data from these tests showed that compared to people who hadn’t taken any medicine or supplement to support their cognitive functions, that decline occurred more slowly in people who had taken a standardised ginkgo extract during the course of the study. These effects are believed to be at least partially due to ginkgo’s antioxidant activity and its ability to enhance blood flow to the brain.

Hayfever? Try horseradish Hayfever is frustrating, isn’t it? Whether it’s triggered by pollen, dust mites or animal hair, avoiding allergens is often easier said than done, and you’re left with the dreaded symptoms: a runny nose, repeated sneezing, and red, itchy, watery eyes – sometimes even headaches and fatigue. Horseradish has been used medicinally since the times of the Ancient Romans, Greeks and Egyptians, and remains a popular traditional medicine for the relief of hayfever and other causes of mucous congestion in the nasal cavity, including sinusitis and the symptoms of colds and other mild upper respiratory tract infections. The plant’s congestion-relieving effects in hayfever and sinusitis are explained by its chemistry, which includes several major active ingredients, including chemicals called sinigrin and myrosinase. Although both compounds are present in horseradish, they’re stored separately in the root, and therefore don’t come into contact with each other. When horseradish root is crushed or chopped, myrosinase exerts an enzymatic reaction on sinigrin, and they combine to form volatile oils (sometimes referred to as mustard oils) that give horseradish its characteristic pungent odour and taste. More importantly for sufferers of hayfever and sinusitis, the volatile oils have the effect of temporarily liquefying mucus to relieve symptoms of nasal congestion and also act as nasal and bronchial dilators.

Horseradish is often taken in conjunction with garlic, which also has a long history of traditional use for the relief of catarrhal conditions such as colds, sinusitis and hayfever. In addition, vitamins A and C provide nutritional support by helping to maintain immune function and the health and integrity of the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity and respiratory tract, which are an integral part of the body’s defence mechanisms.

SUPER-STRENGTH HORSERADISH GARLIC A & C Suffering from hayfever or blocked sinuses? Super-Strength Horseradish Garlic A & C relieves nasal congestion and catarrh caused by hayfever, sinusitis or mild upper respiratory tract infections. This formula combines the decongestant actions of horseradish with the natural immune supporting properties of garlic. Vitamins A and C provide additional support for healthy immune system function and the integrity of the nasal mucous membranes, which are the body’s first line of defence against air-borne bacteria and other microbes. 90 tablets - Order Code 4149 1 bottle $21.90 2 bottles $35.80 SAVE $8.00 CLUB 4 $10.95 SAVE $10.95 Each tablet contains: Retinyl acetate 172mcg (equiv. vitamin A 150mcg R.E) • Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) 250mg Herbal extracts equiv. to dry: Armoracia rusticana (horseradish) root 1g (1000mg) • Allium sativum (garlic) bulb 500mg.

Vitamin C for the common cold Confused about whether vitamin C is effective against the common cold? That’s not surprising! There have been hundreds of research studies on the subject, many of which have yielded conflicting results. Thankfully, a review paper1 published in 2013 and based on the pooled data from 29 placebocontrolled clinical trials goes a long way towards clarifying how beneficial vitamin C really is when it comes to colds. Together, the data from these studies reveals that the preventative use of vitamin C reduces the severity of colds, and decreases their duration by an average of 8% for adults and up to 18% for children. The impact of vitamin C on the duration of colds may be even more significant if your levels of it are low to start with. In a separate study2 involving young men who had marginal or inadequate vitamin C levels but were otherwise healthy, taking 1000mg of vitamin C per day for eight weeks during the peak of the cold season reduced the duration of colds by up to 59% compared to placebo. Those who took vitamin C were also significantly less likely to develop colds than those who took the placebo supplement. Additionally, in people under extreme physical stress (such as marathon runners) and those exposed to very cold temperatures, taking vitamin C supplements may reduce the frequency of colds by half1.

When choosing a vitamin C supplement, bear in mind that higher doses may be more effective for colds than doses of 1000mg/day or less, and that if you do experience the symptoms of a cold, the sooner you start taking vitamin C the more effective its likely to be.

ANDROGRAPHIS RELIEVES COLDS & SORE THROATS In traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine, andrographis is regarded as having cooling properties, and is used to address acute infections and hot, feverish conditions. It has been the subject of numerous clinical studies, which show that it’s a useful treatment for upper respiratory tract infections like colds. Andrographis is best taken as quickly as possible after symptoms develop, and may help relieve symptoms such as a sore throat, cough, sneezing and fatigue, while also reducing nasal secretions. References: Braun L & Cohen C (2015). Andrographis (chapter). In: Herbs and Natural Supplements an Evidence Based Guide (4th ed). Sydney; Elsevier. Pp 33 - 41

SMOKERS MAY NEED MORE VITAMIN C Along with the many other health problems it can cause, being a smoker means you’re likely to have lower levels of vitamin C than other people and may need to consume this important vitamin in greater than usual quantities. Smoking causes widespread free radical damage, and the increased requirement for vitamin C may be due to an increased need for its potent antioxidant actions.

Natural relief

for prostate problems

By the time they reach their 70s, nearly 70% of all men have some degree of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Many experience associated lower urinary tract symptoms, which may include needing to urinate frequently and/or urgently, nocturia (the need to get out of bed to urinate during the night), urinary flow that is weak or intermittent, difficulty starting urination, and/or the sensation that the bladder has not completely emptied after urination. These types of symptoms may have a significant impact on your quality of life, but luckily, there are many ways to help address the symptoms of medically-diagnosed BPH, including lifestyle changes, dietary measures, and herbal and nutritional supplements.

Diet and lifestyle changes to aid BPH management • Watch your weight: Being overweight increases your likelihood of developing prostate enlargement

• Maintain healthy blood sugar levels: Similarly, poor blood sugar control may be a risk factor for BPH • Exercise regularly: Having a regular exercise routine appears to offer a degree of protection against BPH, over and above the benefits it has for weight management and blood sugar control • Cut back on caffeine and alcohol: Diuretic substances such as caffeine and alcohol may exacerbate symptoms such as urinary urgency • Keep fluids to a minimum in the evening: Nocturia is one of the most frustrating symptoms of BPH; reducing your consumption of fluids during the evening hours may help to minimise the number of times you need to get up to go to the loo during the night • Learn to love tomatoes: Tomatoes and other redcoloured foods contain lycopene, an antioxidant that is considered particularly beneficial for the health and functioning of the prostate gland.

Taking lycopene supplements may also be beneficial, especially if other antioxidant nutrients such as zinc and selenium are also present

also been the subject of a significant number of scientific studies, many of which have shown it to be effective at reducing the symptoms of BPH.

• Eat plenty of other fruit and vegetables too: Research has shown that men who consume at least four servings of vegetables each day are significantly less likely to develop symptoms of BPH than men who only eat a single serving

Saw palmetto is believed to work at least in part by inhibiting the hormonal activity of testosterone and its metabolite dihydrotestosterone, which may contribute to the development and progression of BPH by promoting excessive reproduction of the prostate cells.

• Cut back on red meat: On the other hand, men who eat red meat on a daily basis are more likely to develop BPH than those who only eat it once a week or less often

Herbs to reduce prostate symptoms Nettle root Nettle root has traditionally been used to help reduce the urinary difficulties caused by medicallydiagnosed BPH. Clinical studies support these traditional applications of the herb, showing that it may help reduce night-time urination, urinary frequency, and the retention of urine after going to the toilet*. These effects may occur because nettle root helps inhibit activity of sex hormone-binding globulin (a naturally occurring substance in the body that binds to testosterone and other sex hormones), which can play a role in the development of BPH. Crateva Crateva is an Ayurvedic herb that has traditionally been used to aid the management of urinary problems. In men with reduced bladder tone due to medically-diagnosed BPH, it helps increase the force of urination, and relieve symptoms such as urine retention, pain, urinary frequency and incontinence. In addition, crateva may help to improve men’s bladder tone following prostatectomy.

SAW PALMETTO 3.2G PROSTATE FORMULA Prostate problems? Saw Palmetto 3.2g Prostate Formula relieves impaired urinary flow, delayed onset of urination and the frequent need to urinate during the day and night – as well as other symptoms of medicall-diagnosed benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

HEALTHy eyes

suffering from eyestrain? Do you ever experience tired, bleary eyes or flickering vision when you spend too long reading, driving or working at the computer? These symptoms – along with others such as eyes that are bloodshot or painful - suggest that you’re affected by eyestrain, which is often the result of spending prolonged periods of time performing tasks that require intense visual concentration. Bilberries have traditionally been used to relieve the symptoms of eyestrain and visual fatigue, and to help maintain healthy eyes. Their effects are due to their rich concentration of a group of antioxidants called anthocyanosides, which also give the berries their deep blue-purple colouring that’s so dark it’s almost black. The anthocyanosides are potent antioxidants and free radical scavengers, and may have protective effects on some of the cells, tissues and capillaries in the eyes that are susceptible to oxidative damage caused by exposure to light and other factors. In addition to helping relieve tired eyes and other symptoms of eyestrain, vision-supporting effects of bilberries may include aiding the function of rhodopsin (a pigment found in some cells of the retina, where it’s involved in light adaptation), supporting the eyes’ ability to adapt to darkness and glare, and helping to maintain capillary health.

But it’s not just the eyes! Bilberries support the health of the capillaries in other parts of the body too, and are considered particularly beneficial for helping to maintain the peripheral circulation (blood flow to the hands and feet).

BILBERRY 5000 Got tired eyes? If your eyes are suffering due to over-use or the glare from computer screens, bright lights or nighttime driving, try Bilberry 5000. Bilberry may assist visual fatigue and eye strain, and in European herbal medicine, has traditionally been regarded as a nutritious eye tonic. Australian NaturalCare Bilberry 5000 is standardised for its content of compounds called anthocyanosides, potent antioxidants that support the health of the capillaries in the eyes and also help maintain peripheral circulation.

Protect your eyes

with lutein and zeaxanthin Do you eat enough yellow and green fruit and vegetables? Corn, rockmelon, carrots, and leafy greens such as spinach and kale are all important dietary sources of lutein and zeaxanthin, which play a valuable role in vision and the health of the eyes.

Antioxidants and free radical scavengers Lutein and zeaxanthin are also potent antioxidants with the ability to scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative damage to the eye tissues, which may occur due to light damage, smoking and/or a poor diet (among other factors).

Lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the macula of the human eye, where they perform two important functions that help maintain healthy vision.

Population studies show that in older people, eating a diet containing an abundance of lutein and zeaxanthin plus other antioxidants such as vitamin C, zinc, selenium and copper helps maintain healthy vision.

Protection against damaging blue light The human eye perceives light from several different wavelengths. Of these, blue light – which is abundant in sunlight - is considered particularly detrimental to the retina. Lutein and zeaxanthin form a layer of yellow pigment on the macula that serves as a natural filter, absorbing the blue light and helping to protect the retina.

PROTECT YOUR MACULA Are you one of the one in seven Australians over 50 whose eyes show some evidence of macula damage? Declining vision due to macula damage can have a significant impact on your wellbeing and dramatically reduce your quality of life, so get your eyes and your macula checked regularly – especially if you have a family history of macula problems or are a smoker.

Boost your weight loss efforts Are you cutting back on carbs or calories and increasing your exercise to lose weight? When taken in combination with your nutritious diet and healthy exercise regime, Garcinia cambogia and its active ingredient hydroxycitric acid (HCA) may help healthy women lose weight. Garcinia and HCA are believed to help weight problems in three ways: 1. They help reduce appetite, induce feelings of fullness (satiety) and may ultimately reduce your food intake 2. They inhibit the process in which excess carbohydrates are converted into fat (a process referred to medically as ‘de novo lipogenesis’) 3. They may interfere with fat storage As a result, adding a Garcinia supplement containing standardised levels of HCA to your healthy diet and exercise program may help you:

ü Lose weight ü Reduce abdominal fat ü Inhibit and reduce the visceral fat

Garcinia Cambogia 8000 Looking to lose weight? Garcinia Cambogia 8000 may help healthy women achieve healthy weight loss*. Each high-potency tablet contains 8.33g Garcinia cambogia standardised to provide hydroxycitric acid (HCA) 500mg, and may support your weight loss efforts by reducing hunger and helping you feel full longer. It may also interfere with the body’s fat storage mechanisms, reducing abdominal fat and inhibiting the accumulation of visceral fat (fat around the internal organs). People who are overweight are more prone than others to free radical damage, so Garcinia Cambogia 8000 also contains raspberry extract (a rich source of potent antioxidants), standardised to contain 100mg raspberry ketones per tablet. * When taken with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

LIVER CARE MILK THISTLE 13000mg

SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT FOR MILK THISTLE The medicinally active constituents of milk thistle are a group of compounds that are collectively known as silymarin, and which include silybin, silydianin and silychristin. Between them, milk thistle, silymarin and silybin have been the subject of thousands of scientific studies, many of which support the benefits of these compounds for liver health. For example, research indicates that silymarin supports healthy liver function in part due to its own potent antioxidant properties and its ability to stimulate the activity of the body’s natural antioxidants such as glutathione peroxidase, thereby helping neutralise the potentially damaging effects of free radical activity in the liver.

sleep & stress

Support for stress, stamina and ageing Korean ginseng has been used medicinally for thousands of years. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it’s considered especially beneficial for older people and is taken to promote longevity, increase stamina, and address some of the mental and physical changes that occur with age. It can also be used to restore vitality and enhance the body’s stress-coping mechanisms. From the perspective of TCM, Korean ginseng works in these and other circumstances in a number of different ways, including replenishing depleted Qi (‘chee’) or vital force, strengthening Yang (male energy), calming the heart and soothing the mind.

Relieve insomnia with valerian If you’re sick of lying awake at night counting sheep, consider taking a course of valerian, either on its own in Valerian 1000 Herbal Relaxer, or in combination with other sedative herbs such as passion flower, hops, lemon balm and lavender, as found in A Good Night’s Sleep.

KOREAN GINSENG 500mg SUPER STRENGTH Need more energy and vitality? Korean ginseng is the most highly valued herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it is used to enhance and support the Qi (the energy we need to function on a daily basis) and is particularly prized as a revitalising tonic for older people. In Western herbal medicine, Korean ginseng is regarded as an adaptogen – one of a group of herbs that enhance the body’s ability to cope with physical and mental stress.

CELERY AND DANDELION FOR ARTHRITIS RELIEF In Western herbal medicine, celery seeds, dandelion leaves and other herbs with diuretic properties have traditionally been used to provide temporary relief of the pain of arthritis, rheumatism and gout. This practice is based on the traditional understanding that arthritis and other inflammatory conditions are associated with an accumulation of metabolic wastes in the body, and that herbal diuretics may help increase their excretion via the kidneys and urine. In particular, celery seed is traditionally regarded as helping to promote the excretion of uric acid, and consequently may be beneficial for the temporary relief of gout.

Over 55? Do you: Want to maintain a healthy heart? Want to boost your energy?

Celery & Dandelion Herbal Diuretic Ease fluid retention with Celery & Dandelion Herbal Diuretic. In Western herbal medicine, celery seeds and dandelion leaves have traditionally been prized for their diuretic properties and taken to promote the production and excretion of urine as well as for the temporary relief of the pain associated with arthritis, rheumatism and gout. Unlike many other diuretics, dandelion leaves are rich in potassium. This helps offset the potassium losses that may occur when urine production is increased.

At the end of the study, 87% of participants reported that their night-time urination symptoms were either ‘improved’ or ‘significantly improved’. Reference: Terado T, et al.

Beauty nutrients Does your diet supply all the nutrients you need to keep your hair, skin and nails in tip-top condition? Antioxidants reduce free radical damage to the skin Antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc are particularly important for the skin, which is highly susceptible to free radical damage. For example, over time, exposure to UV-A radiation may lead to changes in the skin’s extracellular matrix (including the collagen and elastin), and ultimately contribute to wrinkles, loss of elasticity and other forms of skin damage. Exposure to environmental pollutants from factories and cars also promotes free radicals, and consequently may cause the depletion of vitamins C and E in the superficial layers of the skin. Research suggests that women who consume higher amounts of vitamin C are less likely to develop dry skin and/or wrinkles as they get older, and these effects are believed to be at least partially due to vitamin C’s antioxidant properties.* In addition to being antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc help maintain the integrity of the elastin and collagen fibres in connective tissue, which are responsible for the strength, flexibility and elasticity of the skin and underlying tissues. Zinc is also a constituent of the nails. Fingernails that are brittle, ridged or split may indicate low zinc levels, while low levels of vitamin E may be associated with impaired wound healing and premature skin ageing. Biotin and minerals support strong nails and healthy hair The B-group vitamins support normal hair growth and the maintenance of scalp health. In particular, biotin supports the maintenance of healthy hair, and is also important for strong nails.

Silica supports the strength of the hair and nails and enhances skin healing. The body’s levels of silica decline with age, and this contributes to the increased brittleness of the hair and nails. Calcium and magnesium are also important for the appearance and health of the nails. Fingernail changes that may indicate low calcium levels include soft, brittle, ridged or split nails, and nails that are soft and prone to flaking may indicate low magnesium.

They’re even mentioned as having remarkable health benefits in the oldest known book on Chinese herbal medicine, the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, which dates back to 200 BC! Being a concentrated source of nutrients with a sweet fruity taste, goji berries are a common feature in the Chinese diet, where they’re added to soups, hotpots, porridge and herbal teas.

Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce the joint pain and swelling associated with osteoarthritis. The trouble is, curcumin alone is poorly absorbed by the body. Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever contains Meriva® curcumin which is made using a patented technology to combine the curcumin with phospholipids. Phospholipids act like little ‘delivery trucks’ for the curcumin, which means it is absorbed twice as fast and 29 times more effectively than curcumin alone. In recent clinical trials people with osteoarthritis who took the Meriva® curcumin extract, found they could walk over twice as far on a treadmill test as those who took a standard extract. They also reported that it was significantly easier to go about their daily lives compared to those who received the standard treatment.

The unique form of curcumin in Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever: Improves mobility in people who suffer from osteoarthritis

Reduces joint pain, swelling and ü inflammation of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis sufferers Is absorbed twice as fast and 29 ü times more effectively than curcumin alone Each tablet contains: Curcumin 90mg (from Meriva® Curcumin phospholipid complex 500mg)

chemicals in your home

You’re careful to eat nutritious food, you make sure you exercise regularly, and you safeguard your health with carefully chosen supplements of the highest quality. But could the chemicals you use around your home be doing you, your family or the environment harm? At Australian NaturalCare, we believe that helping you eliminate nasty chemicals from your home environment is one of the most important ways we can support you in optimising your health and wellbeing. It might surprise you to learn that more than 40,000 individual chemicals can be used in household cleaning products in Australia, but many have never been tested for safety by the regulatory body that governs these types of products. In many cases, these chemicals are regarded as safe purely

because they’ve been in use for a long time without being known to cause health problems. But the truth is, some of the chemicals found in household cleaners and other homecare products can lead to health problems – especially if used in large quantities, or if exposure occurs during vulnerable times of life such as foetal development or puberty. For example, even at low concentrations, exposure to the chlorine found in dishwashing detergents, mould cleaners, and toilet and bathroom cleaners can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Similarly, formaldehyde (found in air fresheners and floor polish, amongst other household products) can cause contact dermatitis, asthma and other breathing difficulties, and over the long term,

Whatever your cleaning need, we’ve got a gentle, natural alternative to the harsh chemicalbased cleaners you’ll find in the supermarket. Here are just a few of our favourites: Dirty floors? Try Ecologic Tile & Floor Cleaner, which uses the organic herb soapwort to dissolve dirt and grime and is suitable for tiles, wood and all hard surfaces. Page 116. Grotty benchtops? Abode Surface Cleaner will have your kitchen sparkling again, and leave your house smelling like a home not a hospital. Page 120. Baked on gunk in the oven? The natural greasecutting formula in Enviroclean Heavy Duty Oven & BBQ Cleaner gets rid of the grime without leaving noxious odours behind. Page 121. Doing the dishes? Ecover Dishwasher Tablets and Powder get dishes sparkling clean using non-toxic, plant-based and mineral ingredients that are biodegradable and phosphate-free. Page 119. Time to clean the bathroom? Ecologic Bathroom Cleansing Gel is ammonia-free and has been formulated especially for bathroom surfaces, and contains tea tree oil for its natural disinfectant and anti-mould properties. Page 117. Want streak-free mirrors and windows? Try Ecologic Mirror and Glass Sparkle, which cuts through soap scum and greasy marks. Page 105.

regular exposure may affect moods, memory and sleeping patterns.

Sensitive to laundry powder? Miracle Wash Laundry Balls are the soap-free alternative, tough on dirt but easy on sensitive skin – and a favourite with our customers! Page 121.

Alarmingly, the manufacturers of household cleaning products are not required to list their ingredients on their product labels – and many of them don’t.

Washing the woollies? With the softening action of aloe vera and the natural disinfectant properties of eucalyptus, Ecologic Wool Wash will leave your jumpers and delicates feeling soft and smelling fresh! Page 117.

That’s why we researched hundreds of natural cleaning products to bring you what we believe are gentle and natural products that are effective as well as affordable.

Sick of slimy kitchen washcloths? Unlike supermarket pads, Goodbye Detergent scrubs stay clean, don’t get slimy, don’t trap food, and last for months. Page 115.

From the bathroom to the barbecue, our extensive range of natural household products have been carefully selected to help you choose the most natural, gentle and effective products possible for your home and your family.

Sticky fingers? Remove sticky residue, stains and bacteria from just about any surface from walls to toys to highchairs and furniture, with Resparkle Organic Nursery, Toy & Everyday Cleaner, specially formulated to be suitable to use around children. Page 114.

Better living through Chia Not all chia is created equal The Chia Co cultivates only 100% chemical-free, naturally grown chia seeds. The Chia Co chia seeds are ripened under the sun and fed water directly from Lake Argyle in Western Australia—the largest natural and sustainable water supply in the southern hemisphere—using a low-impact irrigation system that relies on gravity, not fuel. Every batch is tested to guarantee nutritional excellence, and every packet can be traced back to the very paddock where it was grown. It’s a true farmer’s market mentality, on a global scale.

the Chia Co CHIA SEED

Why chia tops the charts nutritionally: Protein » Chia seeds are 20% protein—in a whole grain, vegan-friendly form. They also contain all 8 amino acids, making them a complete protein. Which means they meet a serious dietary need for anyone who eschews meat and dairy. One tablespoon equals 3g of protein. Omega-3 » No other plant-based source holds a candle to chia seeds for omega-3 content. Omega-3 supports brain health and mood and reduces inflammation. Fibre » One tablespoon of chia seeds contains 6g of fibre – of which 20% is soluble fibre and 80% is insoluble fibre. Minerals » Chia seeds are a mineral powerhouse. They contain minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus.

Maca is traditionally grown 4000 metres above sea level in the Junin Plateau of the Peruvian Andes. The Peruvians believe that the harsh growing conditions are what gives maca its unique nutritional qualities. Maca contains high amounts of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, all the essential amino acids and nearly 60 phytochemicals. The taste has been described variously as vanilla/nutty or butterscotch. It tastes particularly good in ‘milky’ blends like yoghurt and muesli, cereal and milk or smoothies. Try baking with it and freezing the extra for a nutritional boost when you need it most!

Manuka Active Honey 10+ Manuka honey is one of nature’s ‘health warriors’ with a thick consistency and a subtly sweet, rich flavour. All honeys are naturally antimicrobial but manuka honeys have far greater antimicrobial properties due to their higher level of naturally occurring methylglyoxal (MG). This Australian manuka honey is sourced from the flowering plant Leptospermum, native to both Australia and New Zealand, and is tested and verified by an accredited laboratory for its methylglyoxal content.

They only flower every two years, usually in early summer, and when in bloom, are covered in beautiful creamy flowers. Jarrah produces a deliciously dark and thick honey with an aftertaste likened to unsweetened caramel. Its low glucose and high fructose levels mean it is not as sweet as other honeys and does not candy.

NATURAL LIVING | TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE

natural foot patches Natural foot patches have a powerful reputation in traditional folk medicine, with well-documented use in Asia that dates back over 500 years. Foot patches are based on the principles of Eastern medicine, which teaches that waste moves away from the heart and towards the extremities of the body - including the feet. Simply apply the patches to the soles of your feet and let the natural ingredients work while you sleep. Foot patches act as a poultice to warm and draw and can help reduce pain, swelling and discomfort. The foot patches can help promote improved sleep quality and even help to protect and soothe sore and aching feet.

Testimonials from existing customers

I would like to order some more Foot Patches... I always like to give something a go before judging it – sometimes it’s well worth the effort. I was surprised at how well they worked, right from the first application...They started to work right away – I slept better and woke earlier feeling more refreshed. You wouldn’t believe the horrible gunk I found on the patches when I removed them!... Well, down to business – I have enclosed payment for 2 packets of Foot Patches. Mrs S. A. from North Fremantle, WA I confirm our telephone conversation of today wherein I told you how good I have found these Foot Patches to be. I have used 3 boxes already and received 4 more yesterday. I use 1 or 2 every night and they are always very black when I take them off in the morning. But I’m 86 years of age, so there is a few years of junk in my feet to come out. Thank you. Mrs D. R. from Baulkham Hills, NSW A note about testimonials: all testimonials are based on individual results. Your experience may vary.
