Formerly known as Phytofood Chromium, our Wholefood Chromium is made from a species of broccoli that has been hydroponically grown in a chromium-rich environment. As such, it is a wholefood form of the mineral, with high bioavailability. What is Chromium & what does it do? Organic chromium is an active ingredient of a substance called GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor); niacin & the amino acids cysteine, glutamic acid & glycine complete the complex. The body contains about 6mg of chromium in total. 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 & the synthesis of fatty acids & cholesterol. It appears to increase the effectiveness of insulin & its ability to handle glucose. When chromium levels are low, GTF levels are low too & the activity of insulin is blocked; blood glucose levels therefore remain elevated. Also, diets high in carbohydrates soon begin to exhaust the normal control mechanisms. The end result is hypoglycaemia, insulin resistance, obesity & diabetes. Obesity is strongly linked to blood sugar disturbances because of the increasing sensitivity to insulin. Best Natural Sources Whole grains, eggs & meat are the best sources of chromium. Most fruit & vegetables are low in chromium, except for broccoli, which has a naturally high level. Absorption & Storage Chromium is difficult to absorb. Only about 3% of chromium from food is retained in the body. The mineral is stored primarily in the spleen, kidneys & testes, & small amounts are also stored in the heart, pancreas, lungs & brain. It has been found in some enzymes & in RNA. Excretion occurs mainly through urination. The amount stored in the body decreases with age. Research & Studies Wholefood GTF chromium is better absorbed & longer retained than isolated chromium, & is also significantly less toxic (see references on page 232
- Chromium). RDAThere is now an RDA for chromium, set at 40µg. The Council for Responsible Nutrition tells us that the average daily intake in the Western world is 30µg, & the upper safe limit for supplementation is 200µg. The dietary (natural) form of chromium is trivalent chromium. This has very low toxicity. Wholefood Chromium is trivalent. Ingredients Nutrient Per Capsule %RDA Chromium 100g 250 RDA = Recommended Daily Allowance Suggested Intake: 1-2 capsules daily, or take as directed by a practitioner. Suitable for: Vegetarians, vegans & for people with Candida & yeast sensitivities. Contraindications: None, although insulin-dependant diabetics are advised to seek medical advice before supplementing with GTF chromium, as the supplement might alter their insulin requirements.

Where like cures like Weleda also manufactures Homeopathic remedies. Developed by Dr Samuel Hahnemann in the 18th century, homeopathy also follows a holistic approach to good health stimulating the bodys natural ability to cure itself. Its guiding principle is to choose a remedy that would produce similar symptoms to those you wish to treat, i.e. like cures like. Each remedy is created by a series of dilution & shaking processes to produce a minimum potentised dose. Which strength? Over the counter homeopathic preparations are generally available in two strengths: 6c & 30c.6c Potencies In most self-help cases 6c should be selected. 6c is useful when conditions are mainly physical, such as coughs & colds, or when the condition progresses at a slow pace.30c Potencies 30c is selected when the condition is very active (acute) and/or when there is an emotional element to the condition, such as occasional sleeplessness. 30c remedies should be taken as a short course only, unless prescribed by a practitioner. Tablets shouldnt be touched & should be taken in a clean mouth. The remedies are intended for self-limiting, minor conditions. If they are required for long periods of time or for chronic conditions, professional advice should always be sought. When the condition improves there is no need to continue taking the homeopathic remedy. If a condition is persistent or potentially serious, please consult your doctor or a qualified homeopath. ...

An exceptionally powerful antioxidant formula! Phytoshield is a very potent & powerful phyto-antioxidant nutrient formula, containing high levels of flavonoids & carotenoids. Each capsule has an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score of 5, 000 units. This shows exceptionally high antioxidant activity, when you consider that 5 portions of fruit & vegetables (in the average British diet) yield only 1, 500 ORAC units. Flavonoids serve as protective nutrients in plant tissue to protect the plant (&, in particular, its DNA) against external threat, & once consumed by humans they act in the same way. Flavonoids come in a variety of different colour pigments, & each has a different protective action. For this reason, Phytoshield contains flavonoids from the full colour spectrum & the most potent of each group. Carotenoids in plants & in humans help to retain intracellular communication, protect against damage from UV light & particularly help retain integrity in the following body tissue: prostate & cervix, cardiovascular & respiratory, the skin, breast & ovaries. Most people ingest on average 140mg flavonoids per day, against a recommended level of 600mg for optimum health; likewise with carotenoids, the average intake is 5mg daily, against recommendations of 20mg. Phytoshield supplies 650mg mixed flavonoids & 15mg mixed carotenoids. Best Natural Sources Flavonoids & carotenoids are contained in all fruit & vegetables. The levels are much higher in organic produce, as the nutrients serve as protection against pests & other external threats in the plants. If a plant is protected by herbicides & pesticides, it has less need to produce its own protection in the form of flavonoids & carotenoids, & hence the levels are significantly lower in non-organically-farmed produce. This is the main reason for many of us being short of these protective nutrients in our diets, & for those of us in this category or those who need extra antioxidant protection, Phytoshield serves as a valuable addition to any supplement programme.
