    Muscle repair

    • Glutamine is found in large amounts in the muscles and is readily available when needed for the syntheses of skeletal muscle proteins.
    • It helps to prevent any muscle wasting that can accompany prolonged bed rest and diseases like cancer and Aids.

  • Soaring Free Maca Powder 200g

    N$169.00

    Organic Maca Powder

    Maca is an adaptogen, meaning that it helps the body to adapt to increased stressors. Maca is well known as an amazing hormone balancer, and strength builder. Because of its oxygenating effect on the blood, it has also gained the reputation for being the best natural aphrodisiac.

    Maca is a wonderful superfood and will benefit you in the following:

    • High in vitamins especially vitamins B1, B2, C and E.
    • Rich in minerals including calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sulfur and iron, and contains trace minerals, including zinc, iodine, copper, selenium, bismuth, manganese and silica.
    • It has about 10% bioavailable calcium and about 12-14% bioavailable protein.
    • It contains nearly 20 amino acids and seven essential amino acids.
    • It is power-packed with life enhancing enzymes. “A person’s lifespan is directly related to the exhaustion of their enzyme potential.” – Dr Howell. Which basically means more enzymes in your diet equal a longer and healthier life.
    • Maca also contains nearly 60 phytochemicals.
    • Dried maca powder contains 60% carbohydrates, 9% fiber, and slightly more than 10% protein. It has a higher lipid (fat) content than other root crops (2.2%).
    • But most importantly – it is an adaptogen so it “adapts” to your body’s metabolism, working with your body for optimum results. It has the ability to balance and stabilise the body’s systems (cardiovascular system, nervous system, musculature, lymphatic system, etc.). As an adaptogen, Maca can provide more energy if it is needed, but if it is not, it will not overstimulate. Adaptogens also boost immunity and increase the body’s overall vitality by 10-15% according to most studies. Rather than addressing a specific symptom, adaptogens are used to improve the overall adaptability of the whole body to diverse and challenging situations and stress. This is an excellent supplement during pregnancy.

  • Solgar L – Carnitine 500mg 30 Tablets

    N$329.65

    L – Carnitine 500mg Tablets

    Solgar® L-Carnitine 500 mg Tablets is one of Solgar’s premium-quality amino acid range products containing L-Carnitine, an amino acid important for metabolism and the release of cellular energy.

    Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed in several internal functions of the body. They are classified as “essential” or “non-essential”, with essential amino acids meaning they cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in the diet to maintain good all-round health. Amino acids can be further used by the body to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient carriers. A suboptimal intake of the essential amino acids increases the body’s need for the non-essential amino acids either through diet or supplementation.

    Carnitine is actually a dipeptide – an amino acid made up of two other essential amino acids; Methionine and Lysine. L-Carnitine is important for fat metabolism, especially in heart and muscle cells. It helps to transport long chain fatty acids into cell mitochondria where they can be burned up and used as fuel. Rich sources of carnitine are meat and dairy products and some dietary carnitine may be needed as the amount made by the body may not be enough.

    Suggested use: Solgar® L-Carnitine 500 mg Tablets comes in an easy, 1 tablet a day, dose. One (1) tablet daily, preferably at meal times or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
