DESCRIPTION The antioxidant glutathione is found in all the body cells in relatively high concentrations & is an important indicator of the cell function & viability of the cell. The body makes its own glutathione; a (small) portion comes from foods such as fresh vegetables, fruit, seafood & meat products. Glutathione has two forms: the reduced form (GSH) & the oxidised form (GSSG, i.e. glutathione disulfide). The term "glutathione" generally refers to reduced glutathione (GSH). Glutathione only has a protective effect in the body when present in reduced form. Glutathione plays an essential role in the immune system. The availability of glutathione is a limiting factor in the activity of lymphocytes after being in contact with an antigen. Glutathione also regenerates the condition of red & white blood cells. Glutathione supports the cleansing of the liver & is an important antioxidant that also makes other antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, alpha lipoic acid en coenzyme Q10) suitable for recycling. It supports the lung function in that capacity (protects against free radicals) & protects the nerve tissue & the brain from aging. It also protects against lipid peroxidation. Most important characteristics of GSH Glutathione 100 mg      Contains only reduced glutathione (GSH), the only form of glutathione effective in the human body      Effective balance between minimal decomposition & optimal absorption      Contains only the natural L-form      The only antioxidant present in all body cells as a detoxifier USE Take 1 capsule daily, during or immediately after a meal. There is a reasonable chance that a too large percentage of glutathione will be destroyed in the intestinal wall when using less than 100 mg glutathione a day. One way to avoid the proteases is by dissolving the content of one or more capsules in water, then stirring well & drink. Research shows that direct contact of glutathione with the mucous membranes of the mouth has a beneficial effect on absorption. Already more than 60% of the glutathione is absorbed when taking the glutathione capsules in the regular way in doses of 100 mg to 200 mg per day. The surprisingly high bioavailability appears to be linked to a specific absorption system for glutathione in the intestinal wall which has been discovered recently. The absorption rate does not increase in proportion to the dose; the use of higher doses decreases the efficiency of the absorption. The capsule may be opened if experiencing difficulties with swallowing. WARNING Interactions with regular medication & other natural health products may occur. Please consult an expert about this.

A study on healthy volunteers compared absorption of a single 400-mg dose of green tea polyphenols as non-complexed standardized extract Greenselect or as the same extract complexed with phosphatidylcholine Greenselect Phytosome. Peak blood concentration of EGCG from the phytosome, measured over a period of six hours, was Approx. double that of the non-complexed green tea extract.* Green tea polyphenols are powerful antioxidants due to their particular flavonoid structures, & their glutathione-sparing activity has been well documented.* Green tea polyphenols also help maintain the body's normal inflammatory response.* Green tea has a thermogenic effect.* Extracts of EGCG increase energy expenditure & fat oxidation, thus essentially burning calories.* Greenselect Phytosome was tested in obese subjects (n=100) of both genders on a low-caloric diet; 50 subjects were assigned to the green tea extract plus the low-calorie diet, while the other 50 subjects followed the low-calorie diet only. After 90 days of treatment, significantly greater improvement in weight & body mass index was observed in the Greenselect Phytosome group compared to the diet-only group.* Human studies of green tea's weight management properties resulted in greater calorie burning by individuals taking the extract.* Although some of the effects of green tea extract have been attributed to the caffeine content, a study found increased metabolic rate & greater fat metabolism in study subjects taking green tea extract compared to those taking a placebo, even though the green tea extract did not contain caffeine.

Chromium is an essential nutrient that is depleted from foods by processing & refining & diets low in whole grain cereals may provide inadequate levels of this essential trace mineral. Chromium helps the body to use insulin & is therefore involved in the processes that maintain normal blood sugar levels. The importance of this mineral has recently been officially recognised by it being given a Recommended Daily Amount (RDA), although at just 40mcg, this is below the level often recommended by Nutritionists. We have selected the organic Glucose Tolerance Factor form of the mineral called chromium picolinate to help ensure maximum absorption & utilisation. Each tablet provides a full 200g of chromium & our product is manufactured to GMP pharmaceutical standards. Several of our multi vitamin & mineral formulas also provide 200mcg of chromium per daily dose & one of these may be a sensible choice for anyone who has a diet consisting largely of highly processed foods.

This is the first English language book on the ancient therapeutic technique ' Gua Sha'. It is a technique commonly used in Asia & Southeast Asia by TCM practitioners, Chinese families & individuals who know & use it as part of their 'health culture'. In Gua Sha, the skin is pressured in strokes i.e. scraped (but not broken) by a blunt edge (Chinese families used a spoon). This, in Western terms, raises extravasated blood & metabolic waste which collects in muscle tissue, & encourages its departure. Gua Sha is often used to counteract muscle strain through athletic injury, back pain, & conditions beyond muscle injury alone. The result, visually, is livid discolouration of the skin which subsides in a few days, considerably faster than a bruise. For this reason practitioners in the West have been afraid of using it. However it can be a very useful technique to know how to use, & will enhance the skills of any practitioner using it while giving them another treatment method to help increase theirclinical skills. This book brings the technique alive for Western practitioners, with clear discussion of how to do it
- including correct technique, appropriate application, & difficulties to bear in mind
- & when to use it, & superb colour illustrations & specially commissioned line drawings to demonstrate the technique. The author is an expert practitioner of ' Gua Sha'.

Sometimes called coining, spooning or scraping, Gua sha is defined as instrument-assisted unidirectional press stroking of a lubricated area of the body surface that intentionally creates 'transitory therapeutic petechiae' representing extravasation of blood in the subcutis. Gua sha has been used for centuries in Asia, in Asian immigrant communities & by acupuncturists & practitioners of traditional East Asian medicine worldwide. With the expansion of traditional East Asian medicine, Gua sha has been used over broad geographic areas & by millions of people. It is valuable in the treatment of pain & for functional problems with impaired movement, the prevention & treatment of acute infectious illness, upper respiratory & digestive problems, & many acute or chronic disorders. Research has demonstrated Gua sha radically increases surface microperfusion that stimulates immune & anti-inflammatory responses that persist for days after treatment. The second edition expands on the history of Gua sha & similar techniques used in early Western Medicine, detailing traditional theory, purpose & application & illuminated by science that focuses its relevance to modern clinical practice as well as scholarly inquiry. This book brings the technique alive for practitioners, with clear discussion of how to do it
- including correct technique, appropriate application, individualization of treatment
- & when to use it, with over 50 case examples, & superb color photographs & line drawings that demonstrate the technique.
