Contains per half a teaspoon (app. 2.5 ml) Borage oil (min. 20% GLA)    1380    mg - of which GLA    275    mg Excipients: natural mixed tocopherols Free from: maize, yeast, gluten, lactose, added saccharose, gelatine, animal products, artificial preservatives, artificial colouring & flavouring agents, artificial odours. GMO-free. DESCRIPTION Borage oil is one of the few natural sources of gamma linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is a metabolic product of the essential omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid. GLA & linoleic acid belong to the omega-6 fatty acid family, a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids that our body cannot produce itself. Linoleic acid (and from this GLA) are precursors of the beneficial type-1-eicosanoids (prostaglandins). These are hormone-like, local signalling molecules that control various physiological processes. Although diet usually contains sufficient linoleic acid (all vegetable oils are rich in linoleic acid) the body is not always sufficiently able to convert these (quickly) into GLA. This slow conversion is caused by a slow or diminished activity of the enzyme delta-6-desaturase. This may be due to genetic disposition, to a high consumption of trans fats & saturated fats, to insufficient intake of zinc, magnesium and/or vitamin B6, & to hormonal factors. All of these increase the need for GLA. GLA Forte liquid supplies GLA ready for use. Essential fatty acids, especially omega-6 fatty acids such as GLA, are found in the cell walls of the skin & support the moisturising balance as well as skin elasticity. GLA moisturises & hydrates the sensitive, dry, rough & chapped skin. It stimulates the development of skin cells & aids the natural immune system & helps with difficulties during menstruation. Most important characteristics of GLA Forte liquid:      Only contains borage oil, the richest natural source of GLA (at least 20% GLA)      Contains a minimum of 458 mg GLA per half a teaspoon (2.5 ml)      Contains no toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids      The liquid dosage form makes it easy to follow a high dosage fatty acid therapy      Special opening to pour the oil conveniently, doses easily without spilling. USE Take half a teaspoon (2.5 ml) 1 to 2 times daily during or immediately after a meal. Every teaspoon provides at least 458 mg GLA. WARNING Interactions with regular medication & other natural health products may occur. Please consult an expert about this. SYNERGISM Simultaneous use of Vitamin E-400 complex (at least 400 IE per day) is strongly recommended due to the high degree of unsaturation of omega-6 fatty acids. GLA Forte liquid contains amounts of natural mixed tocopherols which are sufficient to prevent oxidation from occurring. However, fatty acid oxidation can also occur in the body & hence protection through the simultaneous use of extra vitamin E is strongly recommended. Besides taking this product it is also recommended to follow a healthy diet, as well as taking a basic supplementation of Multi Vital Forte, Vitamin C-1000 Ascorbate Complex & Omega-3 liquid (or Omega-3 capsules).

Research findings indicate Glabrinex: Reduces visceral fat Supports healthy body weight Promotes balanced, beneficial body fat In recent years, overweight has reached epidemic proportions & has increased across all age groups, educational levels & ethnic groups. Overweight complicates & compromises health & longevity. Good & bad fat news There are healthful levels of body fat, & these levels differ between men & women. Women naturally carry more fat, compared to men. Excess body fat is different. Scientists have discovered fat stores are metabolically active & too much adversely affects health status. Scientists used to believe fat cells were simply storage cells for the body, but in fact, they have their own biological activity. Where fat is carried in the body also matters. Having more fat in the visceral area (internal, or intra-abdominal, organs) has negative health consequences. Its not only overweight individuals who have problematic visceral fat. It is possible to appear slim & have unhealthful visceral fat. Physical inactivity, excess alcohol consumption & poor dietary choices influence visceral fat. What are the health consequences of excess visceral fat? Cholesterol & triglyceride levels generally increase. Insulin sensitivity & blood sugar utilization are impacted. Circulation can be compromised. The immune system is challenged. Inflammatory responses are increased. Hearth health, overall mobility & longevity are compromised. Pre-existing health conditions may be aggravated. Too much overall body fat or visceral fat; both insult human health. What is Glabrinex? Glabrinex is a patent-pending standardized concentrate of bioactive, polyphenol flavonoid compounds & the unique flavonoid, glabridin. Animal & human research indicates supplementing with Glabrinex helps decrease visceral & abdominal fat. Preliminary research suggests it also helps prevent weight gain. Current research indicates Glabrinex works via regulating enzymatic pathways in the liver, reducing fat-storage. Over 10 years ago, researchers reported Glabrinex had antioxidant properties; it reduced oxidation of LDL-cholesterol particles. This is also helpful for circulation & heart health*. Clinical & non-clinical research indicates Glabrinex has a good safety profile. The FDA has approved Glabrinex as a new dietary ingredient. Best results are realized after 6 8 weeks of regular supplementation. Supplement Facts Serving

Gli SODin® is the first orally effective form of SOD. Gli SODin®'s patented matrix of melon-derived SOD & gliadin, a wheat protein, protects it from degradation in the digestive tract, while promoting its uptake by the body.  SOD is a key cellular antioxidant that is instrumental in neutralizing the potent superoxide radical, thereby constituting an important system for the protection of cells & tissues against degeneration by free radicals.  Gli SODin® has been shown in clinical & non-clinical studies to modulate the activity of SOD, as well as the two other essential cellular antioxidants, Glutathione & Catalase.  A clinical study has further demonstrated Gli SODin®'s ability to protect against oxidative stress & DNA damage.* Do not take this product if you are allergic to wheat or gluten.  Do Not Eat Freshness Packet.  Keep in Bottle. As a dietary supplement, take 1 Vcap® 1 to 3 times daily, preferably with meals.  Consider taking this product in combination with NOW® Alpha Lipoic Acid & Vita Berry Plus +.

Anyone who learns the skills of acupuncture or who extends his knowledge of TCM is inevitably confronted with terms which hitherto had always meant something different to him or her. Take the use of the word "wind", for example, to refer to a pathogenic factor contributing to illnesses
- rather than its sense as a climatic factor. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that, in most books, these terms are not used in a clear & uniform way. One of the many examples is the Chinese term "xu" which is translated as "insufficiency" but also as "deficiency" or "severity" & is often not even used consistently within one & the same publication. This glossary presents all the Chinese terms (in Chinese characters & in Pinyin script) that are relevant to TCM & provides their English translations. It also provides an explanation of how, for example, the location or the function of an acupuncture point can be concluded from its name.

The innate (or natural) immune system is our first line of defence. Micro-organisms are in the air we breathe & the food we eat, so our epithelial surfaces (skin, respiratory tract, gastro-intestinal & genitourinary tracts) are continuously exposed. Our natural immunity helps defend us against these invaders. The main body of innate immune cells lie alongside the gut, & are called GALT (Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue). Research indicates that beta glucan supports the GALT & this in turn helps work with the body to support the entire innate immune system. When choosing a beta glucan food supplement, therefore, we recommend you should look for a company with a substantial track record of product testing. Glucasan®+ has been developed in Germany in conjunction with the Institute of Biotechnology at the Technical University of Berlin & has been shown in independent tests to outscore other beta glucan supplements. ...
