  • A Vogel Multiforce Alkaline Powder Mango 105g

    N$187.45

    A multi-mineral dietary supplement that is proven to increase urinary pH. An increase in urinary pH is associated with a more alkaline body pH meaning there is less acidity in the body. The maintenance of optimal mineral and acid-base balance is linked to an increase in general well being. As with most things in life, good health is also about finding the right balance.

    Many foods and drinks, especially meat, dairy products, sugar, coffee and alcohol are acid forming. Without adequate alkaline minerals, which are necessary to offset increases in acidity, your body struggles to maintain its internal acid/alkaline levels. This impacts your general health and energy levels, leading to many common health niggles such as heartburn, headaches and gout.

     

    Suggested use: Drink once daily, on an empty stomach

    • Adults: Add a heaped teaspoon or medicine measure (7.5 g) or the contents of one 7,5 g sachet of the powder to a large glass of water, stir well and drink once a day on an empty stomach

    Does slippery elm have side effects?
    Though slippery elm is usually well-tolerated, some supplements containing this herb may trigger side effects in some people, such as nausea, increased bowel movements, frequent urination, swollen glands, skin blemishes, flu-like symptoms and slight headaches.

    Because it coats the digestive tract, it may slow down the absorption of other drugs or herbs. To prevent drug interactions, it may be best to take slippery elm two hours before or after other herbs or medications you may be taking.

    Slippery elm should only be given to children under the supervision of a knowledgeable practitioner.

    Herbal medicines can trigger allergic reactions, including skin rashes, among people who are sensitive to their effects. Therefore, use caution and check with your health care provider, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or using other medications.

    Is it safe to take slippery elm every day? Like other herbs, it’s best to take breaks from using it periodically. Try taking it for several weeks, then taking several weeks off before starting again if necessary.

  • Coyne Bio Milk Thistle Complex – 30 Veg Capsules

    N$350.70

    Bio-milk Thistle

    Bio-Milk Thistle is a western herbal medicine used to support liver function in adults 18 years and older. In addition, Bio-Milk Thistle may help relieve digestive disturbances or indigestion, including discomfort following overindulgence. The active components in milk thistle extracts are a group of chemical compounds collectively known as silymarin. Silybin is considered one of the most active constituents of silymarin.

    Due to its antioxidant properties, silymarin helps protect cell membranes from damage caused by free radicals. Silymarin also stabilises liver cell membranes and prevents binding and penetration of toxins, such as ethanol, paracetamol, Amanita phalloides from poisonous mushrooms, and others. In addition, silymarin may help the liver generate new cells and proteins to recover from injury. Apart from its benefits as an antioxidant, silymarin also has anti-inflammatory properties. It may reduce the damaging effects of inflammation and prevent scar tissue formation.

    In summary, silymarin:

    • Is a free radical scavenger that protects cell membranes from damage caused by toxins and oxidative stress
    • Increases total antioxidant capacity by increasing the levels of intracellular antioxidants, namely glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD)
    • Helps the liver to recover from injury
    • Has anti-inflammatory properties
    • Protects against scar tissue formation

     

    Further information:

    The active components in milk thistle extracts are a group of chemical compounds collectively known as silymarin. Silybin is considered one of the most active constituents of silymarin.

    Silymarin and silybin are antioxidants. In other words, they protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are toxic by-products of oxygen metabolism in living cells. These free radicals may cause significant damage to living tissues when produced in quantities that exceed the body’s neutralising mechanisms. Stress, medicines, injury, alcohol consumption or infections may  result in increased generation of free radicals.
