HEART health

COENZYME Q10 FOR HEART HEALTH Have you ever stopped to think about how hard your heart works? Whether you’re awake or asleep, sitting still or exercising your hardest, it just keeps on beating, every single minute of the day and night. In fact, during your lifetime, your heart will probably beat more than 3 billion times. It’s a mind-boggling number isn’t it? So aside from eating well and making regular physical activity a core component of your lifestyle, what can you do to support your heart? For additional support of your heart and blood vessels, you may like to consider taking coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). What’s CoQ10? Although it comes in a capsule, CoQ10 isn’t a vitamin – it’s a co-factor that needs to be present in order for many of the multitude of chemical reactions that occur in your body every day to occur. What does CoQ10 do? CoQ10 is vital for the energy production that occurs in every cell of your body.

10

As you’d expect from all those heartbeats it needs to pump out, the heart is an organ that uses lots of energy! As such, its cells contain significant concentrations of CoQ10. Researchers believe that CoQ10’s supportive effects on heart health are at least partially due to its ability to help maintain the energy-producing functions of heart muscle cells. CoQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant that inhibits the effects of free radical damage (for example due to smoking, stress and eating poorly) and helps prevent the harmful oxidation of LDL-cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol).

CoQ10 is vital for the energy production that occurs in every cell of your body.

www.ausnaturalcare.com.au

CoQ10 GIVES

YOU ENERGY FOR LIFE Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is found in every cell of your body. It’s particularly concentrated in structures inside your cells called mitochondria, where it plays a critical role in the chemical reaction that triggers the production of a compound named adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the energy source your body needs in order to function. It fuels every single one of the trillions of cells in your body, keeping your heart pumping, your lungs breathing and your muscles moving and more!

Energising your body at a cellular level

Helping to protect you from the free radical damage that may contribute to the ageing process

ü ü

Helping to protect your LDL-cholesterol from oxidation And most importantly – supporting your heart health and general wellbeing as you get older

If you think of the mitochondria as the engines that produce this precious energy source, then CoQ10 is the spark plug that spurs them into action. CoQ10 is so important to human health that without it we literally wouldn’t have the energy to function! CoQ10 levels decline with age Your body is able to produce its own CoQ10, but its ability to do so declines as you get older, along with your levels of this vital nutrient – ironically just at the time you’re likely to need it most.

This decrease in CoQ10 commences from your 40s onwards, and by the time you’ve reached 80 years old, you may actually have lower CoQ10 levels than you were born with. Unfortunately, with age we also become more susceptible to nutritional deficiencies (some of which may further inhibit your ability to manufacture CoQ10). If you’re not as young as you used to be, consider taking CoQ10, because there simply isn’t any other nutrient that offers the same health benefits:

As you get older, your CoQ10 levels decline markedly – especially in hard-working organs like your heart, pancreas, lungs, kidneys and adrenal glands. Kalen A, et al. Lipids 1989;24(7):579-84

Ambassador profile AGEING GRACEFULLY

Still teaching at 90 Secondary school students with scholastic difficulties thrive under her care Long since retired, school teacher and journalist, Mary Locke, still to this day helps secondary school students with learning difficulties. With her quick mind, sparkling sense of humour, infectious curiosity and passion for life, she is able to mentor, encourage and give the students who come to her, the extra support they need in order to succeed.

Like the majority of Australian NaturalCare’s regular customers, she has been buying her vitamins and supplements from us for over 5 years – in her case, since 2002. She has enjoyed the opportunity to chat one-to-one with the naturopaths to receive wellness guidance. As a teacher, Mary wanted to know the decisions she made about her health and well being were both confident and informed.

Mary has that special quality that lets people relax in her presence. Conversation is easy with her. She likes to help people and she is a great listener. People just naturally open up. She instinctively knows how help people feel heard and understood. Perhaps it’s the warmth of her sunroom where she entertains her visitors. Or perhaps it’s just Mary. You can hear the pride in her voice when she describes the ways in which her students thrive under her attention.

CoQ10 has been part of her health regime for a number of years. She’s read and studied the effects it has on the mitochondria in every cell in her body and takes it daily to feel energised. Doctors have advised that at her age she should take a nap for around 90 minutes each day but, she says “I don’t have time!”

While she is understandably not as sprightly as she once was, she says “I am very interested in life. I don’t want to think about old age problems.” But that doesn’t stop her from thinking seriously about what is good for her and what she needs to do to maintain her health. As an ex-school teacher, it’s not surprising that she has a love of reading and puzzles, and will often get through a couple of books a week. She says she is aware that there is a growing body of evidence that such activity may well help maintain healthy brain function. But really, she does it because she loves it.

Among her many regular visitors are her 4 children and 10 grand children – five of whom live in the United States of America. In years past, she flew to visit them 22 times but these days it is easier for them to visit her. And she’s smart enough to accept that at this point in her life it’s OK to let others help her with some aspects of her life. One of her sons’ lives with her and she has people come in to help her with shopping and housework. “It means I don’t have to worry about parking in tight spots or carry heavy shopping bags.” Mary is just one of the many thousands of Australian NaturalCare’s customers who regularly take CoQ10 to boost their energy levels. We’d like to think our vitamins have helped her help so many others.

I am very interested in life. I don’t want to think about old age problems.

CoQ10

ENERGETIC AND INSPIRING

ANTIOXIDANT SUPPORT FOR CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH As a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger, CoQ10 helps offset some of the cellular damage caused by free radicals, highly volatile molecules that are generated by exposure to environmental pollution, cigarette smoke, fried foods, and even some of our body’s own metabolic processes. Understanding antioxidants and free radical damage The damage caused by free radicals is known as oxidation, and at a cellular level, is regarded by some scientists as potentially being one of the major underlying causes of age-related health concerns. As an antioxidant, CoQ10 helps neutralise free radicals and inhibits their ability to cause the cellular damage that can lead to health problems over time.

“Take a hike, Bill”

If someone suggests this to Bill Cameron, you won’t see him for days For all of his working life William (Bill) Cameron has thought it important to keep himself reasonably fit. Now retired and in his late seventies, Bill continues to watch his weight and BMI (body mass index) and endeavours to keep these within healthy limits. A hip and knee replacement forced him to give up his regular games of tennis, so he has taken up swimming and swims about five hundred metres at least three times per week. In addition, some resistance exercises and daily walks with his dog ‘Raffi’ help to maintain his fitness. Although interrupted for a year because of his surgery, Bill has resumed his annual walking holiday with a long-time friend, most recently spending a few days hiking along tracks on Flinders Island in Bass Strait.

14

He likes to be well informed about health issues. About ten years ago, after reading a couple of books that explained the research on cardiovascular health, he decided to start taking CoQ10 to keep his heart healthy. And he takes other antioxidants – vitamins C and E – for the same reason, and sticks to a healthy diet containing little red meat but large quantities of green vegetables. He enjoys wine in moderation and still has a sweet tooth for the occasional chocolate. With his high energy levels, disciplined approach to exercise and his commitment to a healthy lifestyle, Bill hopes he has found the formula that will keep his heart healthy for many years to come.

It also supports the actions of other antioxidants in your body – for example by helping to regenerate vitamin E after it’s performed its own work fighting free radicals. CoQ10 – antioxidant support for the cardiovascular system The antioxidant properties of CoQ10 play a special role in the cardiovascular system, where it helps protect LDL-cholesterol from oxidation. Sometimes referred to as ‘bad’ cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol is the form of cholesterol that’s associated with an increased risk of heart problems. This type of cholesterol is highly vulnerable to free radical damage. That’s a BIG problem, because once they’re oxidised, LDL-cholesterol molecules may have an increased tendency to stick to the walls of your arteries – and as you know, it’s important to keep your arteries healthy and flexible so that blood can flow through them easily. So, by helping to protect LDL-cholesterol from oxidation, CoQ10 plays a valuable role in keeping your heart and blood vessels healthy.

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. Many products on the market contain much lower doses than this or may use 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.

ENERGY FOR EXERCISE

SQUASHING THE COMPETITION

Emmanuel outlasts his competition

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.

Competitive squash at 58 is a test of anyone’s energy levels When Emmanuel Koungras steps onto a squash court, his opponent will soon find out that they’ve got a serious game on their hands. Emmanuel has been playing competition squash for over 30 years. At 58, he uses this vast experience to not only work his mainly younger opponents around the court, but also to conserve his energy - because competition squash can be one of the highest energy burning sports you can do. According to the Oxford Food and Fitness Dictionary that lists energy usage of dozens of different sports, an 80 kilogram man can burn an average of 680 calories per hour while playing squash - compared to just 475 playing tennis. Very few who play competitive sport get away without some form of injury. Emmanuel was no exception. A bit of pain in his knees about 14 years ago was the wake-up call that got him thinking about what he could do to maintain his health and to keep his energy levels up over the long term. A friend of his at work mentioned he’d been taking CoQ10 to support his soccer playing. Emmanuel has been taking the supplement regularly ever since. Over the years he’s seen most of his contemporaries retire from competitive sport while he’s still in there swinging. Literally.

16

“I didn’t want to be in a position down the track where someone says, ‘You need to do this and this’. I’m doing it now so I don’t need to do it later. For me, it’s all about staying healthy, and getting the best out of my body for life and for sport. I want good energy while participating and good recovery afterwards.” The CoQ10 Emmanuel takes works at a cellular level. It’s a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It helps offset some of the cellular damage caused by free radicals known as oxidation, and is regarded by some scientists as potentially being one of the major underlying causes of age-related health concerns. At the same time, Emmanuel feels that it helps keep his energy levels up and allows him to run around the squash court without getting overly fatigued.

In response, your heart and lungs work harder to circulate blood throughout your body and provide the oxygen you need and 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.

Of course, he also is conscious of his need for a healthy diet and says that this is fairly easy for him as his wife is on a healthy diet.

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 exercise.

So, a warning to those who find themselves on a squash court with Emmanuel... he just might have an unfair advantage.

In some studies, people participating in research have also reported that taking CoQ10 reduces their feelings of fatigue, increases feelings of vigour,

www.ausnaturalcare.com.au

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 LDL-cholesterol (‘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 low-density (LDLs, sometimes called ‘bad’ cholesterol as they can promote the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries) and highdensity 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. Cholesterol Care combines a high potency dose of artichoke (clinically proven to assist normal cholesterol levels in healthy people), along with turmeric, garlic, cinnamon, folic acid, chromium and vitamins B6 and B12.

ANCIENT REMEDY, MODERN SCIENCE Olive leaves have been used medicinally since Biblical times, and were even used by the ancient Egyptians in the mummification process. Thousands of years later, we now know that the leaves contain an important compound called oleuropein, which helps the tree defend itself from insects and is also a powerful antioxidant that can help maintain normal blood pressure in healthy adults.

OLIVE LEAF MAX It’s not just olive oil that’s good for your heart! Olive Leaf Max is a powerful antioxidant that helps maintain cardiovascular health and may help healthy people maintain normal blood pressure. In addition to its heart health benefits, olive leaf has traditionally been used in Mediterranean countries for the relief of coughs and fevers. Its therapeutic properties are largely attributed to the presence of the antioxidant compound oleuropein, which has antimicrobial activity.

AGE WELL WITH CARNITINE Like CoQ10, carnitine is required for cellular energy production and the healthy functioning of the heart and skeletal muscles – and may be especially important as we get older.

CARNITINE 500mg Carnitine helps transport fat across muscle cell membranes so it can be burned as a source of energy. This potent antioxidant is essential for healthy metabolism and supports healthy blood sugar levels and heart health in healthy adults. Carnitine is especially beneficial for older people, and may help them to maintain healthy memory, cognitive function and muscle mass, as well as assisting with mental and physical fatigue (including exercise-induced fatigue).

Research suggests that in older people it may be beneficial for: •P hysical and mental fatigue •P hysical fatigue after exercising •H elping maintain healthy memory and other aspects of cognitive functioning •H elping maintain healthy muscle mass

high doses over at least 3-6 months. In order to minimise the number of capsules you take daily, we recommend choosing a concentrated or super-strength fish oil product and taking it in doses of 5,000-6,000mg per day. Alternatively, try krill oil, which contains omega-3s in a form that allows them to be more readily absorbed and utilised by the body. Gout Gout is an extremely painful form of arthritis that tends to develop suddenly, often affecting the big toe, ankle, knee or foot. It is caused by high blood levels of uric acid (a by-product created during the body’s metabolism of foods containing compounds called purines), which may cause crystals to be deposited in the joints and some other tissues where they cause severe pain, swelling and inflammation. As well as taking appropriate dietary steps to prevent gout, you might like to try taking celery seeds, which have traditionally been used to relieve the symptoms of gout in Western herbal medicine.

UNDERSTANDING ARTHRITis The term arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints, and encompasses more than 100 different medical conditions, most of which are characterised by pain, inflammation and stiffness.

example through being overweight or repeatedly carrying heavy items), or been over-used (for example due to occupations that involve kneeling or squatting).

For some people, these symptoms and the associated joint damage can have a significant impact on mobility and quality of life.

Among others, some nutritional medicines that may assist osteoarthritis symptoms are glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM. Pain-relieving botanicals such as curcumin and rose hips may also be helpful, as may topical applications of capsicum (cayenne).

The most important forms of arthritis to be aware of are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout. Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It’s a condition in which the cartilage that lines the joints becomes damaged, causing pain, stiffness and inflammation. The symptoms may be worse in the morning or after resting. Osteoarthritis commonly affects the knees, hips and hands, but can also occur in other joints. It’s sometimes referred to as a ‘wear and tear’ disease, as it may occur in joints that have been subjected to previous injuries, carried heavy loads (for

Rheumatoid arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, which means that it’s triggered by a dysfunction of the immune system in which the body attacks its own tissues – in this case the linings of the joints. Unlike some other forms of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects multiple joints at the same time (especially small joints like those of the hands and feet, often affecting the same joints on opposite sides of the body). The joints may be tender, swollen and painful, and sometimes become misshapen.

www.ausnaturalcare.com.au

Research suggests that fish oil aids the management of mild rheumatoid arthritis. As an adjunct to medical treatment, it may help by lowering the intensity of pain, reducing the number of tender joints, and decreasing the amount of time it takes for stiff joints to get going in the morning.

For some people, arthritis symptoms and the associated joint damage can have a significant impact on mobility and quality of life

Fish oil may also help mild rheumatoid arthritis sufferers to cope better with some of the activities of daily life, such as turning taps on and off, bending over to pick things up, and getting in and out of cars. However, the research suggests that to achieve these results, it needs to be taken in

NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR HEALTHY JOINTS

A number of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are involved in maintaining joint structure and function. Here are some of the most important to consider including in your diet or your daily supplement routine.

ü

Glucosamine: Glucosamine helps form the structure of the cartilage lining the joints. In clinical studies involving people with osteoarthritis, taking glucosamine has been shown to help reduce joint pain and stiffness, and improve joint function and mobility.

ü

Chondroitin: Chondroitin is also a structural component of cartilage. It supports the joints’ natural shock-absorbing capacity and is involved in cartilage repair. In clinical studies, it has been shown to reduce osteoarthritis pain and improve the functioning of affected joints.

ü

MSM: Methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM, also known as dimethyl sulfone) is a naturally occurring source of sulfur, which helps combat the oxidative stress that can damage joints. In clinical studies involving patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, it has been shown to reduce pain and improve joint function.

ü

Vitamin C: Vitamin C is required for the production of collagen, which helps give connective tissues such as bone, cartilage and tendons their elasticity and strength. It may help to reduce uric acid levels, and consequently, taking vitamin C supplements may help prevent gout. Research also suggests that consuming high levels of vitamin C may be associated with a slower progression of osteoarthritis.

ü

Copper: Copper is also involved in the production of collagen. Adequate copper levels are needed for the health of bones and connective tissues. Amongst other symptoms, deficiency of copper may lead to connective tissue damage.

ü

Manganese: Manganese has an antioxidant action in the body, which can help support healthy connective tissue and cartilage. Research suggests that women with rheumatoid arthritis are more likely than other women to have low manganese levels; however, the implications of this finding is unclear.

ü

Omega-3: The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA found in ingredients like fish oil and krill oil have anti-inflammatory properties, and may aid the management of osteoarthritis and mild rheumatoid arthritis by relieving pain and stiffness and reducing joint inflammation and swelling.

GLUCOSAMINE & CHONDROITIN:

DON’T BUY THE WRONG TYPE OF GLUCOSAMINE!

CLINICALLY PROVEN ARTHRITIS RELIEF

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.

Are you one of the 1.8 million Australians who suffer from osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the cartilage that lines the joints becomes damaged, causing pain, stiffness and inflammation. Of the many natural ingredients that can aid the management of osteoarthritis, glucosamine and chondroitin are the best known and most commonly used. It has been estimated that more than one in four Australian women with osteoarthritis and more than one in five men with the condition take either glucosamine, chondroitin or a combination of the two. Glucosamine Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance that is produced by the body. It helps form the structure of the cartilage lining the joints (articular cartilage) and tendons, and is also present in the joints’ synovial fluid (which lubricates the joints). There is strong evidence to support glucosamine’s role in treating the symptoms of osteoarthritis, with many studies demonstrating its ability to relieve arthritis pain and improve joint mobility, especially when taken in the form of glucosamine sulfate (rather than glucosamine hydrochloride). Studies show that when taken regularly for at least 1-2 months, glucosamine may aid the formation and repair of healthy cartilage and help:

ü ü ü ü

Provide temporary relief from osteoarthritis pain and joint tenderness Reduce the joint swelling and inflammation associated with arthritis Improve the flexibility and mobility of arthritic joints Support the shock-absorbing capacity of the joints (allows them to carry heavy loads and cope with sudden movement)

ü

Inhibit degenerative changes to the joints (such as the joint space narrowing that is often a feature of osteoarthritis) Chondroitin Chondroitin is also naturally found in the body, where it supports the structure of the joints and cartilage, has a shock-absorbing effect, and helps ensure the cartilage receives the nutrients it needs. Glucosamine and chondroitin are often taken together, and this combination of joint-protecting nutrients has been tested in a number of studies, in which they have demonstrated good results when taken together for the relief of osteoarthritis symptoms.

www.ausnaturalcare.com.au

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.

ARTHRITIS?

UP TO 29 TIMES BETTER ABSORBED!

CURCUMIN REDUCES PAIN AND RELIEVES STIFF JOINTS

Until recently, curcumin products had poor bioavailability, and needed to be taken in high doses to get results. But Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever uses a clinically trialled, proprietary form of curcumin that’s been clinically demonstrated to be absorbed more than twice as quickly and up to 29 times more effectively than standard curcumin products. So now you can enjoy the potent anti-inflammatory action of curcumin to relieve your arthritis pain and improve your mobility, without needing to take megadoses! Cuomo J et al. J Natural Products. 2011;74:664-669

Curcumin, the compound that gives turmeric its vibrant yellow colour, is one of the world’s most thoroughly researched botanical ingredients, having been the subject of nearly 3000 studies, many of which support its uses in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine to address inflammatory conditions. Unfortunately, until recently the medicinal use of curcumin wasn’t very practical because the compound had poor bioavailability in the human body and required high doses to get results.

At the beginning of the study, participants in both the placebo group and the treatment group were experiencing similar levels of arthritis pain, joint stiffness, and functional impairment. But as the graph below illustrates, after eight months of treatment with the special highlyabsorbed curcumin supplement, the treatment group experienced significant improvement in all of these measures, and their arthritis also had less impact on their social and leisure activities and personal feelings of wellbeing (emotional functioning).

The two groups were able to walk similar pain-free distances at the start of the trial, but after eight months treatment with curcumin, the walking distances of those in the treatment group had improved by 345% and they could walk over twice as far as those in the placebo group (who had improved by only 89%). A substantial improvement! 50 45 40 35

But the proprietary form of curcumin used in Curcumin Anti-Inflammatory Pain Reliever is a breakthrough! Combining curcumin with a special phospholipid base, it has been clinically shown to be absorbed, on average, more than twice as fast, and up to 29 times more effectively than standard curcumin products.

Meet Danny Peterson, aged 74, who’s been taking Australian NaturalCare’s Flexicare for more than 10 years. Here’s his story: “Just over ten years ago, I had some terrible problems with my right shoulder. It was basically useless – I couldn’t garden or do anything. So I went to my GP and he said, ‘Well, it’s just old age, you just have to put up with it. We can’t do anything about it – you will just have to grow old gracefully.’ I told myself I wasn’t just going to ‘put up with it’ so I started looking around on the internet and I found out about glucosamine. I took glucosamine on its own for about six months and then went on to Flexicare, which has glucosamine with chondroitin. After about three months, I could feel the progress, and after about six months the pain was gone! The unexpected side effect was that at the same time, my knees got better. They used to creak, crack and hurt getting up and down from the floor. Now I can do squats all day long without any creaking, cracking or pain!

“Getting up and down is no longer a problem. My knees no longer creak, crack and cause me pain” I used to play competition table tennis and had to give it up because of my shoulder. Now I can play again and they sometimes ask me to play a higher grade in the competition! I take two Flexicare tablets every day, one with breakfast and one with tea. I have been taking it for ten and a half years and have no intention of stopping!”

GLUCOSAMINE

WHY 1500MG OF GLUCOSAMINE?

FOR SPORTING INJURIES

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.

Are you one of the 1.8 million Australians who suffer from osteoarthritis?

If you love sport, you’ll know that along with all the physical, mental and social benefits that being active brings, there can also be a downside: the risk of injury, and in some cases, an increased likelihood that you’ll develop osteoarthritis as you get older. We’ve all seen those young-but-retired sportsmen hobbling around like they’re old before their time – and you may even have done your fair share of hobbling yourself! In fact, playing sport at an elite level significantly increases the subsequent risk of osteoarthritis, and may even double it in some cases. Some types of sports are harder on the joints than others, with those that force the joints to bear frequent or severe loads (especially while twisting) or involve excessive motion or repetitive impacts being more likely to cause cartilage damage - soccer is a good example of this. For serious athletes, the detrimental effects on the structure and function of the cartilage can start at a relatively young age. For instance, a study of 19-22 year old soccer players found that compared to non-athletes, they had increased evidence of cartilage degradation and turnover even though they didn’t exhibit any symptoms of

Have you ever noticed the bright orange or red fruits that form on your rose bushes after they’ve finished flowering? They’re called rose hips. The hips from some species of roses – in particular a climbing variety called dog rose or wild briar rose – are particularly rich in vitamin C, and also contain other nutrients, including vitamins B1, B2, B3, E and K, the minerals calcium, iron, boron and phosphorus, and the carotenoids betacarotene, lycopene and zeaxanthin. We don’t consume rose hips as food very often here in Australia, but in war-time Britain they were often included in teas, jams and jellies because other sources of vitamin C (such as the citrus fruits usually imported from mainland Europe) were hard to access. More recently, it has been determined that rose hips from the dog rose contain compounds called galactolipids, and consequently may assist in the management of osteoarthritis, particularly when it affects the joints of the hand.

Healthy Joints Double Action

A WINNING COMBO

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.

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. This unscented, nongreasy formula is perfect to use after a long day in the garden or whenever stiff or aching arthritic joints need some tender loving care.

ARE YOU MISSING OUT ON MAGNESIUM

DO YOU NEED MORE MAGNESIUM?

?

Although up to date information is lacking, research by the Australian Bureau of Statistics suggests that many Australian men and women don’t consume enough magnesium. People in older age groups are at particular risk of low magnesium intake, and on average are reported to consume less than three-quarters of the recommended daily intake (RDI) from their diets.

MAGNESIUM PLUS Do you experience muscle cramps, stress-related tension or headaches? If so, you may benefit from increasing your intake of magnesium. Why do I need magnesium? Along with a vast number of other physiological roles, magnesium is intimately involved in muscle function. It works with calcium to regulate the normal cycle of muscle contraction and relaxation that allows you to move your body at will and also maintains involuntary movements like your heartbeat. Magnesium also plays an important role in supporting healthy bone formation, bone strength and bone density, and is essential for healthy heart function (and in particular for the maintenance of the normal rhythm of the heart). Magnesium-rich foods Magnesium-rich foods to include on your daily menu include whole grains such as buckwheat and oats, nuts and seeds (especially pumpkin seeds and Brazil nuts), legumes (including lentils,

36

chick peas and kidney beans), and dark leafy green vegetables such as spinach. Factors that deplete magnesium levels Be aware that some food and drinks can actually deplete your body of magnesium by increasing the rate at which it’s excreted in your urine. Common culprits to watch out for are salt, alcohol, soft drinks and caffeine-containing beverages. Prolonged stress, insufficient sleep and profuse sweating are among other issues that may deplete your magnesium levels. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency If you do become deficient in magnesium, you may experience symptoms such as muscle weakness, muscle spasms (especially in the hands or feet), cramps, and fatigue. On the other hand, taking magnesium supplements may help relieve muscular cramps and spasms, muscle strain and even tension headaches and menstrual pain.

www.ausnaturalcare.com.au

As an added bonus, magnesium’s musclerelaxing properties mean it may have a calming effect during times of stress and nervous tension. Of course, if you have other symptoms as well, or your symptoms persist, please talk to your doctor or healthcare practitioner.

Taking Magnesium supplements may help relieve muscular cramps and spasms, muscle strain and even tension headaches and menstrual pain.

Magnesium Plus provides symptomatic relief of muscle cramps and spasms, muscular strain, period pain and headaches (including tension headaches and migraines). It may have a calming effect during times of irritability, stress or nervous tension, and provides nutritional support for the health of the bones and heart (including helping to maintain healthy bone density and a normal, healthy heart rhythm). High potency formula containing 300mg of magnesium from two different sources, plus cofactors such as calcium and vitamin D3 to optimise the assimilation and activity of magnesium in the body.

EVERYONE NEEDS VITAMIN E Vitamin E is one of the most important antioxidants, and also helps maintain the health of the heart, blood vessels and immune system. Antioxidant activity Antioxidants help protect our cell membranes from the potentially harmful effects of free radicals and oxidative stress, which can occur as a consequence of normal metabolic function or because of exposure to environmental and lifestyle pollutants (such as cigarette smoke, ozone, car exhaust fumes, some types of fatty foods, and even the physical effects of exercise and stress). As a major antioxidant, vitamin E scavenges or quenches free radicals, neutralising their volatile activity and helping to protect cell membranes from the damage they can cause. Vitamin E is part of a network of nutritional antioxidants that also includes vitamin C and selenium, and is often taken with these nutrients. Blood vessel and heart health Many population studies have suggested that over the long term, having higher serum levels of vitamin E (in the form of alpha-Tocopherol) may help support the maintenance of healthy heart function and peripheral circulation. Vitamin E works to support the cardiovascular system in several different ways. For example, it helps reduce free radical damage (oxidation) to LDL-cholesterol (sometimes referred to as ‘bad’ cholesterol). This is particularly valuable for heart and blood vessel health because once they’re oxidised, LDLcholesterol molecules may have an increased tendency to stick to the walls of your arteries. And as you know, it’s important to keep your arteries healthy and flexible to allow blood to flow through them easily. Vitamin E also performs several other helpful roles in the cardiovascular system, including:

ü

Helping to maintain the structure and function of the capillaries and other blood vessels

38

ü

Assisting in maintaining blood circulation to the peripheral areas of the body such as the legs, hands and feet

COULD YOU be DEFICIENT IN VITAMIN D?

Immune health In addition to its actions in the cardiovascular system, vitamin E may also help maintain immune defences, and in this regard may be especially beneficial for older people. An important note about vitamin E supplements If you decide to take a vitamin E supplement to safeguard your intake of this vital nutrient, it’s important that you choose a supplement that contains naturally-sourced vitamin E, which will be labelled as d-alpha-Tocopherol. At Australian NaturalCare, that’s the only form of vitamin E that we use in our supplements, because it’s twice as biologically active as the synthetic form, which will be labelled dl-alpha-Tocopherol.

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. Vitamin E also supports immune system health, and may be particularly beneficial for older people. 90 capsules - Order Code 1152 1 bottle $35.00 2 bottles $55.00 SAVE $15.00 Club 4 $17.50 SAVE $17.50

Vitamin D is largely produced via the action of sunlight on the skin, so it was once taken for granted that deficiency wasn’t a problem in a country with a climate like Australia’s. However, it’s now clear that many Australians do have sub optimal levels of vitamin D, which is needed for calcium absorption – without which we’re at greater risk of developing osteoporosis later in life. Some groups of people are at particular risk of developing vitamin D deficiency. You should pay extra attention to your vitamin D status if you are:

• O ver 60 years of age, especially if you have poor mobility, are hospitalised, or live in a nursing home, because aside from the reduced exposure to sunlight that often accompanies old age, your skin’s ability to produce vitamin D declines by as much as 50% as you get older

• Dark-skinned,

as your skin requires more sun exposure than that of fair-skinned people to produce adequate vitamin D

• Obese, as vitamin D may become trapped in fat cells and unable to circulate throughout the body

• A religious user of sunscreen - it’s very important

“ “

to make sure we protect ourselves from excessive sun exposure, but we need our vitamin D as well!

More than 40% of healthy Australian adults may have insufficient vitamin D levels.

Where you live makes a difference In addition, research suggests that even in a sunny region like Queensland, more than 40% of healthy adults may have insufficient vitamin D levels. People living in the southern parts of Australia are even more likely to be affected, especially during the colder months of the year.

NUTRIENTS FOR BONE HEALTH ü

When it comes to bone health, most people are now aware of the vital importance of calcium and vitamin D, but other nutrients are important for the integrity of your skeleton too.

Boron plays an active role in the body’s use of calcium and helps decrease its excretion

ü

Vitamin C is involved in the production of the connective tissues that form the bone matrix or scaffolding. Some epidemiological studies have shown that in women over 45 years old, adequate vitamin C levels are required to help minimise loss of bone density

ü

ü

Magnesium helps maintain healthy bones and is involved in both calcium metabolism and the body’s production of vitamin D

ü

Manganese stimulates the activity of bonebuilding cells called osteoblasts, and is required for normal bone growth and to help increase bone mass

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.

Zinc enhances vitamin D activity and is involved in some of the enzymatic processes involved in bone formation

ü

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.

Copper is also involved in bone formation

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. Contains vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), a natural form of vitamin D identical to that made by the body.

Recommended adult dosage: Take two to three tablets twice daily, or as advised by your healthcare professional. Club 4 purchase guide: 3 months supply is 6 bottles.

MAKE SURE YOU GET ENOUGH VITAMIN D There are very few foods in the Australian diet that contain significant quantities of vitamin D, so it’s vital you get enough sunlight in order to avoid deficiency. If you don’t spend at least a little time in the sun on most days of the week, consider taking a vitamin D supplement, choosing one that contains vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), the form of vitamin D that’s active in the body, which raises blood levels more effectively than vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol).

You don’t eat enough fruit or vegetables: Alarmingly, a whopping 93% of Australians don’t eat the recommended 5-6 serves of vegetables every day, and around half don’t consume the recommended two servings of fruit. While taking a multivitamin can’t replace a balanced diet, it may help to overcome occasional nutritional shortfalls.

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.

VITAMIN B DEFICIENCY

zinc plus 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.

Luckily, few Australians are ever likely to be affected by severe forms of vitamin B deficiency. However, milder deficiency states do occur, so we’ve put this handy checklist together to give you an overview.

SELENIUM 150MCG IRON PLUS

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.

Does your diet contain enough iron? Research shows that more than half of all Australian women don’t obtain the recommended intake of iron from their daily diets. Iron Plus combines an easily absorbed, gentle-on-the-stomach form of iron with vitamin B12 and folic acid to help maintain healthy blood, replace iron losses due to menstruation, support the immune system and assist the body in producing energy. Contains vitamin C to facilitate iron absorption.

Selenium plays an integral part of the body’s antioxidant systems, being required for the production of the enzymes superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Evidence suggests that many Australians don’t obtain the estimated requirements of selenium from their diets, which may lead to less than optimal activity levels of these antioxidants. Selenium 150mcg contains selenomethionine, an organic form of selenium that is more easily absorbed and utilised by the body than inorganic forms of selenium such as sodium selenite.

CHROMIUM 200mcg Chromium 200mcg helps healthy people maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Chromium is essential to proper blood sugar control, is required for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, and is a key constituent of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which enables amino acids, fatty acids and sugars from the blood to be transported into the cells. If your diet contains large amounts of sugar and/or foods made from refined (white) flour such as bread, cakes and pasta, your chromium levels may be depleted and you may benefit from taking Chromium 200mcg. Leading a sedentary or inactive lifestyle also depletes chromium levels. Chromium may also assist in the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels.

Omega-3 fats have health benefits for many different body systems and organs

• Women’s health: Some types of omega-3 fatty acids may aid the management of period pain and the physical and emotional symptoms associated with PMS. •P regnancy and infant development: During pregnancy, DHA is important in the normal healthy development of the baby’s brain, nervous system and retina.

WHICH OMEGA-3 IS RIGHT FOR ME? Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to wellbeing, and may aid the management of a wide variety of health issues. Unfortunately though, it’s been estimated that three out of five Australians don’t eat enough fish to maintain optimal omega-3 levels, and may need supplements to top up their dietary intake. If you’re confused about why omega-3s are so important or which type of omega-3 supplement to consider, read on to find out. What are omega-3 fats? The omega-3 class of polyunsaturated fatty acids includes eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), each of which behaves differently in the body. The EPA and DHA in our diets are predominantly derived from seafood sources, and can be utilised by the body without undergoing any further transformation. ALA, which is found in plant oils, is transformed by the body after consumption to form other omega3s (including EPA and DHA), however this process is not very efficient, so for the most part oils containing EPA and DHA are preferred for supplementation.

48

Why do we need omega-3s? Omega-3 fats have health benefits for many different body systems and organs, including: • Heart and blood vessel health: Omega-3s such as EPA and DHA support cardiovascular health in multiple ways, including helping to maintain peripheral circulation, and aiding the management of normal healthy blood lipids in healthy individuals by supporting triglyceride metabolism and normal healthy cholesterol. • Vision and eye health: Omega-3 fats help maintain healthy eye function, and in particular, DHA helps maintain the structure and function of the retina. • Brain health: Omega-3s, and especially DHA, are essential for brain health, and may help maintain healthy cognitive function during ageing. Population studies suggest that having low levels of DHA may be associated with a range of learning difficulties and mood problems, and may increase the risk of experiencing some forms of age-related cognitive decline. • Joint health: The omega-3 fats have antiinflammatory properties, and may help to relieve the joint pain, stiffness and tenderness of arthritis.

www.ausnaturalcare.com.au

Fish oil: the original omega-3 supplement Aside from multivitamins, fish oils are the most popular natural health supplements in Australia, being taken by around 16% of the population and as many as one in three people over 45 years old. That’s not surprising, because the body of scientific evidence underpinning the health benefits of omega-3s is overwhelming – and much of it is based on research into the effects of dietary fish consumption or fish oil supplementation.

Calamari oil: concentrated source of DHA Calamari oil is particularly rich in DHA, with each 1000mg capsule containing nearly four times as much DHA as that found in a standard fish oil capsule of the same size, and nearly seven times as much as is found in the equivalent quantity of krill oil. That makes calamari oil an excellent choice if you’re taking omega-3s to support your vision, brain function, or the health of your developing baby. Flaxseed oil: vegetarian omega-3s If you’re vegetarian or are allergic to seafood, flaxseed oil is the omega-3 supplement for you. In addition to containing omega-3s in the form of ALA, flaxseeds contain omega-6 and omega-9 fats, and this balance of fatty acids is essential for healthy skin, hair and nails.

Obtaining optimal levels of omega-3s often means taking multiple fish oil capsules. If you find that unpleasant, you may prefer to take ultraconcentrated Super Strength Fish Oil or switch to Krill Oil 1000mg, which contains omega-3s in a more easily absorbed form, and may mean you can take fewer capsules. Krill oil: superior absorption Like fish oil, krill oil is rich in EPA and DHA. However, the two sources of omega-3s have different chemical structures, with those found in fish oil bound to triglycerides, and most of those in krill oil attached to compounds called phospholipids. This makes it easier for omega-3s from krill oil to be transported around the body and absorbed into our cell membranes, and means that krill oil may be able to be consumed in lower quantities. Krill oil also contains a powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin, a red-coloured carotenoid that’s also found in other red- and pink-coloured seafood, including crabs, prawns and salmon. If you’re taking omega-3s for period pain or PMS, evidence suggests that krill oil is more effective than fish oil at reducing emotional symptoms (such as feeling stressed or overwhelmed) and some physical symptoms (such as breast tenderness and joint pain).

KRILL OIL

AND SUSTAINABILITY Krill are crustaceans that are similar to prawns, but at just 1-2 centimetres long, they’re much smaller. They live in all the oceans of the world, and in particular in enormous swarms in the Antarctic Ocean. Although each individual krill is tiny, together they comprise the largest biomass on earth: in terms of their collective body weight they are probably the most numerous animal species on the planet. Krill oil is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, and provides them in a form that’s particularly easy for the human body to absorb and utilise – and it’s rapidly becoming one of our most popular products. To ensure that our krill oil production doesn’t have a negative impact on the pristine Antarctic environment, Australian NaturalCare is committed to only using premium quality, sustainably sourced krill oil.

Our krill oil supplier works voluntarily with the official international body responsible for the conservation of marine life in the Antarctic (CCAMLR), and has also been audited and approved by leading international conservation groups, the World Wildlife Fund and Marine Stewardship Council. They are the only krill harvesting company in the world that works tirelessly to ensure that the controls and sustainability of each krill harvest exceed the stringent requirements set by CCAMLR, which ensure that whales and other animals that depend on krill are not adversely affected. By-catch (the accidental capture of other species of marine or bird life) are minimised or eliminated through the use of specially designed harvesting equipment, and each harvest is monitored by external, independent environmental auditors.

ENHANCE YOUR OMEGA-3 ABSORPTION The fatty acids in krill oil are predominantly attached to phospholipids, compounds that provide the base structure of all your cells and intracellular membranes and help keep them fluid and flexible. This makes krill oil omega-3s more readily absorbed than fish oil omega-3s, and one study even found that thanks to its better bioavailability, 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. Ulven SM, et al. Lipids 2011; 46:34-46

CALAMARI OIL:

AN ECOLOGIcALLY-FRIENDLY SOURCE OF OMEGA-3 Calamari oil is a particularly rich source of the omega-3 fat DHA, which is essential to healthy brain function, supports the nervous system, eyes and cardiovascular system, and may also provide temporary relief from the pain and joint inflammation of arthritis. But is it as good for the environment as it is for us? If you buy your calamari oil from Australian NaturalCare, the answer is yes! Rather than further depleting the ocean’s limited resources, the calamari oil used by Australian NaturalCare has been certified as sustainable by Friends of the Sea, the world’s premier notfor-profit organisation devoted to protecting the habitat of marine species by promoting sustainable fishing practices.

DHA CAN SUPPORT YOUR AGEING BRAIN The omega-3 fatty acid DHA, found in abundance in calamari oil, is a major structural component of the brain. DHA is needed for the maintenance of healthy brain functions, supports cognitive functioning, and may play a role in learning and memory. Studies suggest that low levels of DHA may be linked to poor memory, while other evidence indicates that in older people, diets high in DHA may be associated with better cognitive function.

52

Amongst other ecologically-friendly aspects of our calamari oil production: •T he calamari oil used by Australian NaturalCare is produced entirely from the off-cuts of calamari that has been harvested for culinary use, much of which would otherwise go to waste •T he world’s populations of calamari are considered quite resilient and capable of withstanding commercial fishing at its current levels, despite the fact that over 2 million tonnes are harvested each year for food •U nlike many other sources of omega-3, calamari are harvested using methods that result in almost no by-catch of other species and don’t damage coral reefs or the ocean floor

calamari oil 1000 Each capsule of Calamari Oil 1000 contains a whopping 470 mg of DHA, an omega-3 fat vital to healthy brain function. In older people, high DHA intakes may help maintain memory and cognitive functioning, while in unborn babies and growing infants, it’s essential for healthy brain, eye and nervous system development. Calamari Oil 1000 also supports heart health and peripheral circulation, and helps healthy people maintain normal triglyceride levels. It provides temporary relief from arthritic pain, and helps reduce joint inflammation and swelling. 30 capsules - Order Code 6470 1 bottle $39.95 2 bottles $59.90 SAVE $20.00 CLUB 4 $19.95 SAVE $20.00 Each capsule contains: Concentrated omega-3 triglycerides ( Squid oil) 1g (1000mg), equivalent to: Omega-3 triglycerides 600mg, Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 100mg, Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) 470mg No added: Corn, sugars, dairy, lactose, wheat, gluten, yeast, preservatives, artificial colours and flavours.

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 per serve (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. DHA is particularly important during pregnancy and infancy, when it is involved in the healthy development of the baby’s brain, nervous system and eyes.

VEGETARIAN SOURCE OF OMEGA-3 Flaxseed oil is an important source of omega-3s for vegetarians and vegans, who may otherwise be at increased risk of inadequate omega-3 levels. For other people, fish, krill or calamari oil capsules are preferable sources of omega3s, because unlike the omega-3s found in flaxseed oil, those found in seafood sources don’t need to undergo transformation in the body before they can be utilised, and consequently raise omega-3 levels more effectively.

boost your brain power If you’ve got a lot on your plate and need help concentrating, it’s good to know that herbs may be able to help. Two of our favourites for supporting mental functions such as concentration, learning and memory are bacopa and ginkgo – here’s how they work. Bacopa supports learning The Ayurvedic medicine bacopa (also known as brahmi) has traditionally been taken to aid concentration, boost learning capacity and address anxiety. Research supports its long-held reputation as a brain tonic, and suggests that it may be particularly beneficial for people looking to boost their capacity to retain newly learned information. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean you can take bacopa for a few days while cramming for your exams and expect to go straight to the top of the class. In clinical research, it has taken up to 12 weeks for the herb to cause improvements in learning, memory and information processing. Ginkgo enhances memory Although ginkgo is best known as a brain and circulation tonic for the elderly, some studies suggest that it may also act as a memory tonic in people in younger age groups. For example, a six-week randomised, placebocontrolled clinical study measured the impact of taking either ginkgo or a placebo on the memory functions of middle-aged people. This study, which involved 188 healthy people aged 45-56 years old, found that taking ginkgo for six weeks led to improvements in complex memory functions such as recalling lists of appointments.

56

Support your brainpower with Brain & Memory Boost, which enhances mental alertness and concentration, improves information processing and retention, and helps relieve nervous tension, stress and mild anxiety. It combines the clinically researched herbs ginkgo and bacopa with nutrients that support cognitive functioning, and is suitable for students, professionals, older people and anyone needing to quickly retain large amounts of information or alleviate nervous tension and mild anxiety during stressful learning events such as exams. Best taken over periods of at least three weeks.

FEELING FORGETFUL? As we get older, as many as one in five of us may experience mild declines in our memory and mental functioning, leading to frustrating issues such as missed appointments and forgotten conversations.

Ginkgo is believed to work by enhancing blood flow to the brain, promoting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Brain mapping research suggests that when taken over periods of at least two weeks, it stimulates activity in key regions of the brain and enhances performance of tasks involving working memory. Its documented antioxidant properties may also contribute to its actions.

Taking a standardised ginkgo extract can enhance healthy cognitive function, and help improve memory, concentration, mental alertness and your brain’s ability to process new information. In addition, ginkgo may help improve your working memory: the type of mental activity that involves holding several pieces of information in your mind at once and manipulating them in order to complete a task. If you’ve ever been halfway through a task and found yourself asking,

WHY CHOOSE STANDARDISED GINKGO? Ginkgo has been the subject of hundreds of clinical trials, the majority of which use a concentrated extract of the herb, standardised for its content of certain medicinally active constituents to ensure controlled and predictable results. Like the ginkgo extracts used in clinical research, Ginkgo 2000 is standardised to contain 9.6mg or 24% of the active ginkgo flavonglycosides, and 2.4mg of the terpene fractions ginkgolide and bilobalide.

“What was I doing again?” you’ve experienced what happens when your working memory isn’t firing on all cylinders! In recently published research, French scientists monitored healthy people aged 65 and over for a period of up to 20 years, and found that those who had reported taking standardised ginkgo during that time enjoyed better cognitive health as they got older than those who had not taken treatment to support their memory and mental functioning. Amieva H, et al. PLoS ONE 2013; 8(1): e52755

GINKGO 2000 Feeling forgetful? Enhance memory, concentration and mental alertness with Ginkgo 2000. It supports brain function and may help to improve your working memory and ability to process new information.

SUFFERING FROM SINUSITIS OR HAYFEVER? Blocked nose? Stuffed up head? Watery eyes? Constant sneezing? Whatever your symptoms, there’s no denying that sinusitis and hayfever can make life miserable!

Knowing that as many as one in five Australians are affected by seasonal hayfever each year, and many others also experience sinus congestion from other causes is little consolation, what can you do to relieve your symptoms? Among the most popular remedies for these conditions are horseradish, garlic, vitamin C and vitamin A, which are often taken together to relieve hayfever and sinusitis symptoms, support immune defences and help maintain mucous membrane health. Horseradish helps clear your head Horseradish has a mild decongestant action on the respiratory sinuses, which may help to relieve symptoms of hayfever, sinusitis and nasal congestion. Its actions are attributed to its content of a volatile oil, which opens and clears the nasal and bronchial passages and is also responsible for the herb’s pungent flavours. Garlic boosts resistance against infection Garlic has traditionally been used for infections such as colds and other mild upper respiratory infections. The sulfur compounds in garlic may help to stimulate infection-fighting white blood cells and increase the efficiency of antibody production. Vitamin C supports immune health Vitamin C is required for healthy immune function and may reduce the symptoms and duration of the common cold and mild upper respiratory tract infections – especially when taken at the onset

of symptoms. It is also required for health and integrity of the mucous membranes, including those in the sinuses and respiratory tract.

Vitamin A supports mucous membranes Healthy mucous membranes are an integral part of the body’s defence mechanisms against airborne bacteria and other microbes, and vitamin A plays an essential role in the maintenance and integrity of healthy epithelial and mucosal surfaces and their secretions.

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: NOT JUST A COLD REMEDY! The first thing that probably comes into your mind when you think about vitamin C is its longheld reputation as a treatment for colds. But while it’s true that vitamin C may reduce the severity of colds and other mild upper respiratory tract infections and help decrease their duration, it also has many other health benefits. Due to its role in the formation of collagen and connective tissue, vitamin C is important for the structural integrity of the skin, bones, muscles, organs and blood vessels. It may also assist wound repair (especially after surgery) and promote tissue healing. Vitamin C also helps maintain healthy capillaries, and may help reduce the incidence of easy bruising. In the digestive tract, it enhances the availability and absorption of iron, and is required for the conversion of cholesterol into bile in the liver, thereby helping to support healthy liver function and digestion. Perhaps most importantly, vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps protect cells from the effects of free radical damage and assists in the regeneration or recycling of vitamin E. Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that’s excreted in the urine every day, rather than stored by the body for future use. As a result, it needs to be replenished on a daily basis. Dietary sources of vitamin C include citrus fruit, kiwifruit, red and green capsicum, and a wide range of other fruit and vegetables. If you decide to take a supplement to top up the vitamin C you get from your diet, look for a formula that also contains bioflavonoids, which are believed to enhance the activity of vitamin C in the body.

SUPER c 1000 Super C 1000 may reduce the severity and duration of colds and mild upper respiratory infections and provide temporary relief from allergy symptoms such as hayfever, catarrh and blocked sinuses.

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 sore throat, cough, sneezing and fatigue, while also reducing nasal secretions.

ECHINACEA 2000 PLUS ANDROGRAPHIS Support your immune system with Echinacea 2000 Plus Andrographis, which may reduce the severity and duration of colds, flu, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and other upper respiratory tract infections and relieve symptoms such as sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, mucous congestion, cough, fatigue and mild fever.

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.

Mega C 1500 contains high dose vitamin C to reduce the severity and duration of colds, flu and mild upper respiratory infections and provide temporary relief from allergy symptoms such as hayfever, catarrh and blocked sinuses.

DIET TIP: EAT MORE VEGGIES

NATURAL SUPPORT FOR YOUR PROSTATE Around half of all men over 50 years old and 80% of those aged over 80 years experience symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is sometimes also referred to as benign prostatic hypertrophy. Luckily, a growing body of scientific research supports the use of key herbal medicines and nutritional supplements to aid the management of medically diagnosed BPH. Saw palmetto The dark red berries of the saw palmetto plant have been traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to help maintain prostate health. Numerous scientific studies have shown that saw palmetto extract helps reduce symptoms of BPH such as needing to get up repeatedly during the night to urinate and weakened urinary flow. Saw palmetto appears to work by reducing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (high levels of which may contribute to the development of BPH) and inhibiting the ability of these hormones to bind to

64

receptors on prostate cells. It also has antiinflammatory properties that may contribute to its action. Epilobium Epilobium has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine as a male tonic and to assist reduced urinary flow. Clinical studies seeking to understand its actions in improving symptoms of medically diagnosed BPH suggest that it may work by reducing the formation of dihydrotestosterone. Lycopene Lycopene is a red-coloured carotenoid found in foods such as tomatoes, guavas, ruby grapefruit and watermelon. It’s a powerful antioxidant that’s stored by the body in the prostate gland and may help to maintain prostate health via a number of mechanisms. Cooked tomato products (such as tomato sauce) are the best dietary sources of lycopene, but it is also available in supplement form.

www.ausnaturalcare.com.au

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 eat only a single serving. 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 even less often.

Pumpkin seed oil When taken alone or in combination with saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil has been shown to reduce symptoms of medically diagnosed BPH and improve the quality of life of men affected by the condition. These effects may start to become noticeable after just three months of treatment, with additional improvements noted in subsequent months. Zinc The prostate contains a higher concentration of zinc than any other body tissue, and maintaining adequate zinc levels is important for overall prostate health and functioning. Some evidence suggests that men with BPH and some other prostate conditions have lower zinc levels in their prostates and prostatic secretions than men without prostate disease. Researchers have hypothesised that zinc deficiency may contribute to these health problems by increasing oxidative stress (free radical damage).

ANTIOXIDANTS FOR EYESIGHT

OVERCOME EYE FATIGUE! Do your eyes get tired, itchy, watery or dry? You may be experiencing visual fatigue – sometimes also referred to as eyestrain. These frustrating symptoms can occur after sustained periods of any type of activity that involves intense use of the eyes, including reading, writing, driving, or straining to see in dim light. And the bad news is that if you’re one of the many people who spend much of the day working at a computer screen or using a smartphone or tablet, your eyes may be even more susceptible to fatigue. Up to 90% of people who work at computers are believed to experience eye problems as a result. These issues are attributed to factors such as exposure to the radiating light from your screen, a greatly reduced frequency of blinking whilst using computers, and eye muscle fatigue due to constantly scanning text or switching focus from one part of the screen to another. Common sense approaches include taking frequent work breaks and giving your eyes an additional brief rest on a regular basis (ideally at least three 20-second breaks per hour), plus making sure your computer is set up to minimise glare and that you don’t need to strain to see it clearly. In addition, you may like to try taking bilberry, which has traditionally been used in European herbal medicine to relieve tired and strained eyes, and may even have been used by British pilots during World War II to help improve their night vision. It may also be beneficial for those whose eyes are sensitive to glare or who find it difficult to adapt to changing light.

Population studies suggest that a diet rich in key antioxidants may help support our visual health as we get older. Here are some of the most important vision-protecting antioxidants to be aware of:

Bilberry’s long held reputation for improving these types of eye difficulties is attributed to its rich content of compounds called anthocyanosides, potent antioxidants that support the health of the capillaries in the eyes.

Bilberry may assist visual fatigue and eye strain, and in European herbal medicine, has traditionally been regarded as a nutritious eye tonic.

needed for healthy day and night vision, and dry eyes and poor adaptation to changes in light levels may be symptoms of vitamin A deficiency. Most of the vitamin A in your body is converted from betacarotene, a powerful antioxidant in its own right.

ü

Zinc, selenium and vitamin C: These antioxidants help protect the macula, lens and other eye tissues from free radical damage. Increasing the concentration of antioxidants in the macula helps protect it from oxidative free radical damage.

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. Make sure to eat a healthy diet too – population studies indicate that consuming plenty of antioxidants may help maintain your vision as you get older.

ü

utein and zeaxanthin: Lutein and L zeaxanthin are found in the macula, where they act as filters against harmful blue light and prevent it reaching the retina. Research suggests that higher levels of dietary intake of lutein and zeaxanthin are associated with a higher density of these important pigments in the macula, the area of the eye responsible for detailed, central vision.

HEALTHY EYES To maintain healthy eyes and vision, it’s important to take good care of your macula – the region of your eyes responsible for central vision. Australian NaturalCare Healthy Eyes is packed with potent antioxidants that help protect the sensitive macular region from free radical activity and oxidative damage, including zinc, selenium, vitamin C and the carotenoids betacarotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. Population studies indicate that consuming rich sources of these antioxidants in the diet helps older people maintain healthy vision.

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.

love your liver Your liver performs the important job of helping your body break down and eliminate many of the toxins you encounter in your daily life, and is also vital to digestion and the regulation of metabolism. However, its function may become compromised or sluggish due to issues such as an accumulation of fat, excess alcohol consumption and exposure to toxic compounds, sometimes resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, nausea after eating fatty foods and feeling overly full after a meal. Look after your liver health by following these four tips: Drink in moderation – if at all Excessive alcohol intake has damaging effects on the liver, so consume no more than two standard drinks per day, and none while pregnant or breastfeeding.

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.

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.

Valerian has been the subject of numerous clinical trials, many of which support its traditional reputation for relieving insomnia and improving sleep quality. In particular, it may help reduce the amount of time it takes you to fall asleep, decrease the number of times your sleep is disturbed during the night, and help you feel you’ve had a better night’s rest.

A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP Having trouble sleeping? A Good Night’s Sleep combines five sedative herbs traditionally used to promote sound restful sleep and relieve insomnia.

Probiotic SB prevents diarrhoea from antibiotic use Probiotic SB contains a strain of yeast called Saccharomyces boulardii, which has been the subject of more than 60 clinical studies, many of which demonstrate its benefits for diarrhoea from a variety of causes. For example, at least 10 studies have investigated the use of S. boulardii in the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. The pooled data from these studies indicates that taking S. boulardii approximately halves the risk of experiencing antibiotic-related diarrhoea. Unlike some other probiotics (such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG), S. boulardii can be taken at the same time as antibiotics without losing its efficacy.

Celery & Dandelion Herbal Diuretic

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.

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 to help offset the potassium losses that may occur when urine production is increased.

AÇAÍ PLUS MAQUI BERRY

-CLUSIVE

Açaí Plus Maqui Berry combines two organic South American superfruits bursting with anthocyanins and other antioxidants to support your vitality and wellbeing. Açaí berries are also naturally rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre, and have long been a staple part of the native Brazilian diet. Maqui berries have been consumed for centuries by the native Mapuche Indians in Chile to promote strength and stamina. They’re rich in vitamin C, calcium, potassium and iron and have the highest antioxidant levels of any known fruit. 100 capsules - Order Code 6000 1 bottle $34.95 2 bottles $59.90 SAVE $10.00 CLUB 4 $19.95 SAVE $15.00

Fight arthritis inflammation with superior CURCUMIN extract Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce the joint pain and swelling of 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:

Recommended adult intake: Take one to two capsules daily or as required.

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 104.

ECO FRIENDLY PRODUCTS... NATURALLY

Grotty benchtops? Abode Surface Cleaner will have your kitchen sparkling again, and leave your house smelling like a home not a hospital. Page 108. 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 109. 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 107. 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 104.

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

regular exposure may affect moods, memory and sleeping patterns.

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.

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 105.

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.

Worried about stains? Ecover Natural Stain Remover helps remove grass, mud, grease and more, and is suitable for use on both whites and colours. Page 107.

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 103.

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,

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 to 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.

Visit these pages to see how we can help you rid your home of chemicals.

Happy Joints!

As you age, the amount of glucosamine created by your body decreases. As a result, your joint cartilage becomes thinner, the lubricating synovial fluid in your joint spaces becomes thin and watery, and your joints may become damaged and arthritic. Taking a glucosamine supplement may help to maintain cartilage health, enhance joint flexibility and mobility, and relieve arthritis symptoms such as pain and inflammation.
