Regenerate Regenerate is a unique product, designed to support cellular health, energy production and help delay the ageing process. Recommended Intake - 1-2 capsules daily as a food supplement or as directed by your doctor or practitioner. It contains the following ingredients: Acetyl L Carnitine An important amino acid and vital component of energy metabolism, L Carnitine plays a major role in fat metabolism and the reduction of triglycerides by increasing fat utilisation. Its most important function is to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria of muscle cells, including the heart muscle, for oxidation. Ageing occurs when the energy-producing components of the cell deteriorate, resulting in reduced cellular metabolic activity, accumulation of cellular debris and the eventual death of the cell. Hence L Carnitine can help to delay the ageing process. Alpha Lipoic Acid Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that works with other nutrients such as vitamins C & E and gluththione to defend against excessive free radicals. It is called a

Glucosamine Hydrochloride (Vegan) N033 (Capsules) Glucosamine is used by the body for the repair of cartilage, muscles, ligaments and other organs. It is the newer and purer form of glucosamine, suitable for long-term use. Recommended Intake - One capsule daily or as directed by a practitioner. (This product is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.) Over the years, we have had many requests by vegetarians and vegans for a glucosamine product that is not made from shellfish. Up until now, the only source of glucosamine was shell fish, and there was no other easy, edible way of acquiring glucosamine. We are delighted to announce the launch of our vegan glucosamine, made through a fermentation process from corn starch. This is made through a new and revolutionary technology, and at last allows vegetarians and vegans access to this joint support product. Glucosamine is an amino sugar, which is used by the body for the repair of cartilage, muscles, ligaments and other organs. All of these tissues are constantly being broken down and repaired. A problem arises if the speed of breakdown exceeds the speed and capability of repair, which is very often prevalent in those suffering from arthritis. It is at this time that a supplement of glucosamine can be helpful. Glucosamine speeds regeneration and allows the rate of repair to keep up with breakdown, so helping the joints and other tissues to stay healthy. Our new vegan glucosamine hydrochloride comes in capsules of 500mg. We have chosen hydrochloride as a carrier for glucosamine as this is the purer form of glucosamine, and the form the medical profession are supporting for those who use the product over the long term.

Homocysteine Formula This is a new formula, designed for individuals who have (or want to prevent) high blood levels of homocysteine. What is Homocysteine? Recommended Intake - One capsule daily as a food supplement or as directed by your doctor or practitioner. Homocysteine is a naturally-occurring amino acid, produced in the body by the chemical conversion of methionine. Many medical experts now consider homocysteine levels a more useful predictor of potential health problems than cholesterol. Homocysteine is now considered a risk factor in several disease states; elevated levels of homocysteine have been linked to increased risk of development of a number of common and potentially fatal conditions, including coronary heart disease and dementia. Homocysteine has also been shown to play a crucial role as a key marker for disease development, determining longevity and health throughout a person's life. The methyl group cycle produces homocysteine, requiring adequate intakes of methyl donor groups from the diet to transform homocysteine back into methionine and glutathione. The average Western diet has an excess of protein and low intake of foods from the methyl group. Foods containing higher levels are sugar beet, spinach, prawns, shrimps and eggs. The principal dietary sources of methyl groups are betaine, choline, methionine and vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid. The absence or reduced levels of methyl groups in the diet result in increased levels of homocysteine and the subsequent health risks. Scientists have also discovered that a number of people have an inefficient enzyme responsible for converting homocysteine back into the methyl group cycle. How Our New Homocysteine Formula can help As an excellent methyl donor, betaine is very effective at lowering levels of homocysteine. Most of us, however, do not consume much betaine, and in this situation the B vitamins become the next line of defence. One recent study found that people who ate high levels of folic acid were 69% less at risk of a fatal heart attack than those whose intake was low. Sadly, B vitamin deficiency is all too common, and this explains why excessive levels of homocysteine are so widespread. We have used the best available evidence to formulate our product to be optimally supportive. It contains the methyl donors betaine, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12 and zinc. All of these ingredients also support the nervous system and detoxification pathways in the body. In addition, we have included vitamin B6 in its normal food form, as niacinamide and also as pyridoxal 5 phosphate, the enzymatically converted, and hence immediately bioavailable, form of B6. There is an amount of evidence to show that some people with high homocysteine levels lack the enzyme necessary to convert pyridoxine to its metabolically active form, so this dual inclusion is a safeguard for those people. Zinc has been added to help protect and support those who drink alcohol regularly. Elevated homocysteine levels are often found in people who regularly consume alcohol. Zinc is used in the enzyme that detoxifies alcohol, and hence these people often have a greater need for the mineral. At 5mg inclusion, it will not give those already taking a multiformula excessive intake. We do recommend that this product is taken alongside one of our regular multiformulae.
Candi Complex A combination of Caprylic Acid, Oregano Extract, Grapefruit Seed Extract and Lactobacillus Acidophilus. N.B.

Cherry C (Acerola Cherry) P344 Made from Acerola Cherries, (nothing added or taken away), this citrus-free wholefood vitamin C is easily absorbed, gentle on the stomach and only mildly acidic. Recommended Intake - One to two capsules daily, or as directed by a practitioner. Vitamin C from Acerola Cherry Food State Vitamin C has been one of our best selling products for many years and is valued by many for its tremendous gentleness of action combined with superior effectiveness. It is one of the few vitamin C products on the market that is retained by the body, (and not rapidly excreted), so we can achieve benefit from the whole amount of vitamin C in the product. However, a few of you prefer to avoid citrus-based products, and it is for this reason we have decided to include another wholefood vitamin C product into our range, from a non-citrus source. The fruit of the acerola cherry tree is rich in vitamin C and carotenoids, with the cherry-like fruits being one of the richest-known natural sources of vitamin C. Acerola also contains a whole array of bioflavonoids, vitamins, minerals and other phyto-nutrients, making it an ideal food-based source of nutrition. Our product contains pure powdered acerola cherry, yielding 25% vitamin C in vegetarian capsules. Each 800mg capsule therefore gives you 200mg of vitamin C. The benefits of Wholefood Cherry-C are:
Calcium M105 This organic form has all the amino acids for optimum absorption. Calcium may help to maintain strong bones and teeth, is involved with keeping your heart beating regularly, and may support your nervous system. Recommended Intake - Two tablets daily as a food supplement or as directed by a practitioner. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and the fifth most abundant substance overall. It is absorbed into your body with the help of vitamin D, the best source of vitamin D being sunlight. Almost all of the body's calcium (2-3 pounds) is found in the bones and teeth. What does it do? Calcium and phosphorus work together for healthy bones and teeth; the ratio of calcium to phosphorus in the bones is 2.5:1. Calcium and magnesium work together for cardiovascular health and bone formation. The balance of these two minerals is crucial, and is reflected in their effect on muscles. To function properly, calcium must be accompanied by magnesium, phosphorus and vitamins A, C, D and E. Vitamin D helps absorb calcium into the body. About 1 hour of sunlight per month on the hands and face has been shown to provide most people with sufficient active vitamin D. Vitamin D works with the parathyroid hormone to regulate the amount of calcium in the blood. Why might you choose to take extra Calcium?

The glucose tolerance factor (GTF) molecule includes Niacin and the three amino acids Glycine, Glutamic acid and Cysteine. This is an essential part of the chromium nutrient complex, and fundamental for its effectiveness in the body. GTF Chromium is now being recognised as important in carbohydrate metabolism. It stimulates the activity of enzymes involved in the metabolism of glucose for energy and the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. It appears to increase the effectiveness of insulin and its ability to handle glucose.
Fish Oil C021 This is a clean, stable, whole body fish oil with all the benefits of omega 3 nutrition but without any risk of contaminants. Recommended Adult Intake - One teaspoon (5ml) per day, or as directed by a practitioner. (Avoid if there is any deficiency of the liver or if you are taking antithrombotic drugs (eg Warfarin or Heparin) consult your doctor first.) The product is made from whole oily fish: sardine, anchovy, mackerel and herring. We do not use fish livers because, although there are known benefits from fish liver oil supplements (particularly cod liver oil) in relation to maintaining joint mobility, there are also disadvantages. Oily fish are often harvested from polluted water where heavy metals can accumulate in the liver. Our product provides the benefits of the oily fish and removes the potential disadvantages of the pollutants. Fatty Acids The health benefits of oily fish can be mainly attributed to its fatty acid content. There are 2 types of fatty acid: omega 3 and omega 6. The human body needs not only sufficient amounts of each but also a suitable ratio between the two. Oily fish are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, and therefore the fall in our consumption of fish has led to a dramatic alteration in the ratio. We therefore need to increase our intake of omega 3 fatty acids to regain the beneficial balance of oils in our diet and reap the health benefits they can give. This product can be given to all ages, including babies, and is ideally taken mixed with a little yoghurt.
Ascorbic Acid Powder V065 Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is an essential water soluble vitamin that cannot be stored in the body, and therefore needs to be adequately replaced daily. Recommended Intake - 1-2 grams daily sprinkled over food taking it as a food supplement, or take as directed by a practitioner. Much of the vitamin C in a meal may be excreted within a few hours. Unlike most other animals, we cannot manufacture it in our body, which means we have to get it every day in our food. Vitamin C is unstable and is easily destroyed by heat and light, and it is not always possible to be sure how much is taken in our diet. Our daily requirement for it is higher than for any other water-soluble nutrient. The processes of storing, peeling, freezing and cooking our food can deplete much of its vitamin C content. As a nutrient, vitamin C is needed:

Fish Oil Capsules C022 Our HIGH POTENCY FISH OIL CAPSULES give you 550mg EPA/DHA per 1000mg capsule. This is a much higher level of actives than most capsules will give you. Recommended Intake - 1-2 capsules to be taken daily with your main meal of the day, or as directed by a practitioner. (Avoid if there is any deficiency of the liver. If you are on anti-thrombotic drugs (eg. Warfarin or Heparin) consult your doctor before taking.) 1 a day will suffice the needs of most people, although some of you might like to take 2 a day. 1 x 1000mg New High Potency Fish Oil capsule gives you the equivalent DHA/EPA normally contained in 2, 000mg of oil. OUR NEEDS FOR OMEGA 3 As science investigates Omega 3 essential fatty acids, their importance to our health becomes more and more apparent. It is now evident that all aspects of our health are influenced by our intake of these precious nutrients, whatever our age. That is why they are now added to baby foods, and why the Government recommends we eat oily fish at least twice a week. OMEGA 6 AND OMEGA 3 BALANCE Both omega 3 and omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are classified as "essential" for health, and indeed, we need both in an intake ratio of about 1:1. With the advent of agriculture, the reduction in fish eating and, latterly, the wide availability of convenience foods which feature grain and seed oils, the ratio of these two fatty acids in the diet has swung dramatically in favour of omega 6. The ratio has gone from 1:1 up to 15-20:1 omega 6 to omega 3. Human health is struggling as a result, and clear links have been found to a wide range of mental and physical conditions as a result of this change. Ideally, everyone should have a minimum of 2-3 grams omega 3 per day (2, 000-3, 000mg/day THE BENEFICIAL COMPONENTS OF OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS When we ingest omega 3, our body breaks the fatty acids down to 2 other fatty acids - Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and these are the components our body uses for essential activity. Flax and other seed oils contain omega 3, whereas fish oil contains the preformed DHA and EPA in a form directly usable by our bodies. THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF DHA/EPA DHA and EPA are used in the membranes in every body tissue where their presence has both a stabilising and anti-inflammatory effect on the tissue. These nutrients are particularly known for their benefits in the following organs and tissues: Brain Heart Lungs Skin Fertility Joints Circulation WHAT ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS? Both cod liver oil and whole body fish oil contain good levels of EPA and DHA. However pollutants tend to collect in the livers of oily fish: hence there is always likely to be a greater risk of pollutants in fish liver oils than in whole body fish oils. All fish oil products sold by Nature's Own are absolutely clean, stable and have no trace of any of the ocean pollutants, heavy metals, etc. (Detection is now possible in parts per million.)
Magnesium M135 Magnesium promotes the absorption of minerals such as calcium and potassium, is essential for the proper function of the nervous system and muscles, and helps utilise B vitamins.

Recommended Intake - 1-2 capsules to be taken daily with your main meal of the day, or as directed by a practitioner. (Avoid if there is any deficiency of the liver. If you are on anti-thrombotic drugs (eg. Warfarin or Heparin) consult your doctor before taking.) 1 a day will suffice the needs of most people, although some of you might like to take 2 a day. 1 x 1000mg New High Potency Fish Oil capsule gives you the equivalent DHA/EPA normally contained in 2, 000mg of oil. OUR NEEDS FOR OMEGA 3 As science investigates Omega 3 essential fatty acids, their importance to our health becomes more and more apparent. It is now evident that all aspects of our health are influenced by our intake of these precious nutrients, whatever our age. That is why they are now added to baby foods, and why the Government recommends we eat oily fish at least twice a week. OMEGA 6 AND OMEGA 3 BALANCE Both omega 3 and omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are classified as "essential" for health, and indeed, we need both in an intake ratio of about 1:1. With the advent of agriculture, the reduction in fish eating and, latterly, the wide availability of convenience foods which feature grain and seed oils, the ratio of these two fatty acids in the diet has swung dramatically in favour of omega 6. The ratio has gone from 1:1 up to 15-20:1 omega 6 to omega 3. Human health is struggling as a result, and clear links have been found to a wide range of mental and physical conditions as a result of this change. Ideally, everyone should have a minimum of 2-3 grams omega 3 per day (2, 000-3, 000mg/day THE BENEFICIAL COMPONENTS OF OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS When we ingest omega 3, our body breaks the fatty acids down to 2 other fatty acids - Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and these are the components our body uses for essential activity. Flax and other seed oils contain omega 3, whereas fish oil contains the preformed DHA and EPA in a form directly usable by our bodies. THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF DHA/EPA DHA and EPA are used in the membranes in every body tissue where their presence has both a stabilising and anti-inflammatory effect on the tissue. These nutrients are particularly known for their benefits in the following organs and tissues: Brain Heart Lungs Skin Fertility Joints Circulation WHAT ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS? Both cod liver oil and whole body fish oil contain good levels of EPA and DHA. However pollutants tend to collect in the livers of oily fish: hence there is always likely to be a greater risk of pollutants in fish liver oils than in whole body fish oils. All fish oil products sold by Nature's Own are absolutely clean, stable and have no trace of any of the ocean pollutants, heavy metals, etc.
Biotin N105 Biotin is a member of the B group of vitamins, and helps maintain healthy skin, hair and nails. It is essential for the metabolism of fats and protein. Recommended Intake - One tablet daily as a food supplement. What does it do? Biotin is water-soluble. It has various functions in your body:
C. M. B. Plus - Biofood Formulation M511 This formulation is designed to provide nutrients especially for bone formation. The nutrients are from our Biofood range, which means that they are optimally absorbed and used. A two-tablet dose gives excellent levels of bone supportive nutrients. Recommended Intake - 2 tablets daily as a food supplement or as directed by a practitioner. The features of CMB Plus:
Glucosamine Sulphate N031 (Capsules) Glucosamine Sulphate may help to maintain joint mobility. Glucosamine is essential for maintaining cartilage, the smooth tissue lining of joints. Recommended Intake 1-3 capsules to be taken daily with food or as directed by a practitioner. What is Glucosamine Sulphate? Glucosamine is formed from a reaction of glucose with the amino acid glutamine. Much of the Glucosamine used in the body is associated with sulphur in the form of sulphate. Glucosamine Sulphate therefore bears a strong resemblance to closely related materials naturally occurring in the body. Why do we need it? Excess wear and tear on a joint creates the need for repair. If the body chemistry is out of balance, it may mean that the body cannot make enough glucosamine. Glucosamine Sulphate helps to form a component of cartilage called Proteoglycan, a tough, resilient, structural material that acts like a cushion at the bone ends. If we do not form enough proteoglycan, the cartilage erodes more easily. Glucosamine Sulphate may help to maintain joint mobility. Best Natural Sources There are no edible sources of Glucosamine Sulphate - bound forms do occur in cartilage, but in meat this is gristle, and we tend not to eat it. Our Glucosamine is derived from the shells of shellfish from Far Eastern waters.
Cherry C (Acerola Cherry) P343 Made from Acerola Cherries, (nothing added or taken away), this citrus-free wholefood vitamin C is easily absorbed, gentle on the stomach and only mildly acidic. Recommended Intake - One to two capsules daily, or as directed by a practitioner. Vitamin C from Acerola Cherry Food State Vitamin C has been one of our best selling products for many years and is valued by many for its tremendous gentleness of action combined with superior effectiveness. It is one of the few vitamin C products on the market that is retained by the body, (and not rapidly excreted), so we can achieve benefit from the whole amount of vitamin C in the product. However, a few of you prefer to avoid citrus-based products, and it is for this reason we have decided to include another wholefood vitamin C product into our range, from a non-citrus source. The fruit of the acerola cherry tree is rich in vitamin C and carotenoids, with the cherry-like fruits being one of the richest-known natural sources of vitamin C. Acerola also contains a whole array of bioflavonoids, vitamins, minerals and other phyto-nutrients, making it an ideal food-based source of nutrition. Our product contains pure powdered acerola cherry, yielding 25% vitamin C in vegetarian capsules. Each 800mg capsule therefore gives you 200mg of vitamin C. The benefits of Wholefood Cherry-C are:
Betacarotene V120 Nature's Own Beta Carotene is made from natural carrot concentrate. It is a powerful antioxidant and can help promote normal vision, healthy skin, hair, strong bones and teeth. Recommended Intake - One tablet daily as a food supplement or as directed by a practitioner. Your body can convert beta carotene to vitamin A as and when it needs to, and this is safer than taking vitamin A itself. What does beta carotene do?
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is an essential water soluable vitamin that cannot be stored in the body, and therefore needs to be adequately replaced. Unlike most other animals, we cannot manufacture Vitamin C in our body, which means we have to get it every day in our food. Vitamin C is unstable and is easily destroyed by heat and light, and it is not always possible to be sure how much is taken in our diet. Our daily requirement for it is higher than for any other water-soluable nutrient. The processes of storing, peeling, freezing and cooking our food can deplete much of its Vitamin C content.
Betacarotene V115 Nature's Own Beta Carotene is made from natural carrot concentrate. It is a powerful antioxidant and can help promote normal vision, healthy skin, hair, strong bones and teeth. Recommended Intake - One tablet daily as a food supplement or as directed by a practitioner. Your body can convert beta carotene to vitamin A as and when it needs to, and this is safer than taking vitamin A itself. What does beta carotene do?
Organic Flax Oil C027 This is a mild and pleasant-tasting organic flax oil that is high in omega 3-chain essential fatty acids. Suggested Adult Use - 1-6 teaspoons (5-30ml) per day, or as advised by a practitioner. (If you are on antithrombotic drugs (eg. Warfarin or Heparin) consult your doctor before taking.) Linseed oil can be mixed with a little fruit yoghurt or added to porridge or cereals for ease of taking. In our opinion this is the best organic flax oil you will find. It has a delicious, nutty taste and a high level of omega 3. The oil is gently cold-pressed by hand, a process that ensures the integrity of the delicate essential fatty acids is maintained. Flax seed oil is the richest known source of the unsaturated alpha-linolenic acid, necessary for physical health but lacking in the foods most people regularly eat. Flax seed oil contains about 45%-65% LNA. The remainder of the oil is monounsaturated oleic acid and about 10% saturated fatty acids. There are no preservatives or additives, and the product is guaranteed to be free from pesticides and herbicides.
Vitamin B12 V180 Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) is water-soluble and very effective in small doses. Its absorption is dependent on the presence of the intrinsic factor, a glycoprotein normally secreted by your stomach. Recommended Intake - 1 tablet daily as a food supplement, or as directed by a practitioner. What does it do?
Bromelain D010 Bromelain is a dietary complex of proteolytic enzymes (i.e. it is a protein-digesting enzyme) that all originate in pineapple. Within the gastrointestinal tract, bromelain has been shown to be a digestive aid, assisting protein utilisation and enhancing antibiotic absorption and effectiveness by increasing their levels in blood and tissue. Bromelain can promote circulatory health and also has the ability to expose cell surface antigens and mobilise lymphocytes and macrophages, which are extremely necessary actions within a healthily working immune system. Bromelain may help smokers and drinkers, and may also help maintain blood fluidity. Recommended Intake - One tablet three times daily with food, or as directed.
Lemomega-3 C024 This is a delightfully lemon tasting, clean, stable, whole body fish oil, ideal for providing omega 3 fatty acid nutrition. Recommended Adult Intake - One teaspoon (5ml) per day, or as directed by a practitioner. (Avoid if there is any deficiency of the liver or if you are taking antithrombotic drugs (eg Warfarin or Heparin) consult your doctor first.) It tastes deliciously lemony, good enough to take straight from the bottle, and leaves a tangy lemon after-taste. Lemomega-3 is guaranteed to be free from pollutants, heavy metals, organochlorines etc., and the only addition is green lemon extract. There are no additives, sweeteners or anything else. Your kids will love it!
