Women's Health

Did you know that the 2010 report ‘Towards a Healthier Britain 2010’ found that as many as 50% of adults had inadequate intakes of key nutrients and that a quarter of women have inadequate intakes of iron, more than 50% lack the antioxidant selenium.  The report also confirmed that average intakes of key vitamins and minerals are boosted by up to 45% when dietary supplements, such as a daily multivitamin, are taken on a regular basis

It is no wonder that many of us suffer from symptoms of nutrient imbalance such as low mood, sugar cravings and breast pain. These all may sound familiar but they need not be so.Whether PMS, the menopause or fertility is your concern, take advantage of the powerful therapeutic benefits found in nature! 

The body’s fine hormonal balance relies on adequate supplies of omega fatty acids (such as GLA found in evening primrose oil) and B vitamins (including folic acid) to function effectively. Without these, hormonal equilibrium can be interrupted, provoking hormonal conditions such as PMT, exacerbating symptoms of the menopause or compromising fertility. The fatty acids found in Evening Primrose oil have been shown to be particularly helpful in reducing these hormonally related symptoms associated. The stages of the menopause bring about enormous change to the entire body and your bones feel the difference. During these times feed your bones with the nutrient tools they need to stay strong, ushc as vitamin D and calcium.

If cystitis features regularly in your life, think cranberries! The antibacterial effects of the cranberry fruit are especially attuned to the bladder cells, working its natural magic to reduce and remove bacterial infection, its symptoms and the risk of repeated infection. Boost supply of beneficial bacteria (found in probiotic supplements) and harness the power of cranberry to make a significant, natural difference.
