  • The Harvest Table L-Glutamine Powder 450g

    N$429.00

    L-Glutamine

    Glutamine actually supplies 35% of nitrogen to muscle to synthesise proteins. This, in turn, will promote protein synthesis. Glutmaine decreases muscle soreness through improved muscle repair and glycogen repletion. The biggest benefit with glutamine is its ability to restore/repair the digestive tract. Studies show that glutamine supplements support the health and integrity of the intestinal lining.

    Glutamine has several functions including:

    • Immune Support
    • Gastrointestinal integrity
    • Insulin secretion
    • Neurological activity
    • Muscle protein synthesis

    Recommend Daily Intake : 2 tsp once or twice per day. Add into your breakfast smoothie, shake, or cereal daily for best results.

    Bone Broth or stock was a way our ancestors made use of every part of an animal. Bones and marrow, skin and feet, tendons and ligaments that you can’t eat directly can be boiled and then simmered over a period of days. This simmering causes the bones and ligaments to release healing compounds like collagen, proline, glycine and glutamine that have the power to transform your health.

    Bone Broth is a great protein source for the whole family and is especially good for people suffering with allergies or joints aches and pains.  It is easy to digest and gives your body all of the building blocks it needs to perform optimally.

  • The Real Thing Zeolite Powder – 300g

    N$207.00

    Zeolite Powder

    A volcanic mineral compound with maximal detoxifying effects. Eliminates toxins from the body and helps your system detox naturally. Take volcanic rock and ash, add some alkaline ground water, then wait a few million years. Voila! Zeolite.

    What Zeolite can do:

    • Fight infections: It blocks viral replication – as in cases of herpes zoster. Studies also suggest that zeolites help treat hepatitis C, colds and flu.
    • Reduce hangovers: Seriously. Zeolite removes the toxic metabolites that cause alcohol after-effects like nausea and headaches. It also improves liver function by helping to remove pesticides, herbicides, and xeno-estrogens.
    • Relieve allergies: It captures and clears the triggering antigens that cause asthma, allergies and migraines.
    • Remove free radicals: A 2002 study by German rheumatologist Wolfgang Thoma found that zeolites can slow the oxidation process by 100% and delay muscle tissue oxidation by 50% in athletes.
    • Optise and alkalinize: It helps maintain an alkaline pH between 7.35 and 7.45, which promotes healthy brain and immune function.
    • Soothe the stomach: It counters acid reflux, acute diarrhoea and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It also works to neutralise nitrosamines – carcinogenic compounds found in processed meats and thought to contribute to stomach cancer.
    • Skin:  Zeolite improves skin quality and fights the visible signs of ageing. An attractive extra.
    • Increase energy levels: A 2006 report found that 70% of patients treated for conditions like ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, hepatitis, cancer and burns showed significant improvements in vitality, general health and appetite during the first seven days of zeolite treatment.
    • Boost mood: It eliminates toxins and increases serotonin production. Research even suggests that zeolites can help relieve depression. Happy days.

    Suggested use:

    Try The Real Thing Zeolite for a multisystem internal detox, or a skin-deep external one.

    • Orally: For detox, take 1 teaspoon (5g) daily, mixed with water or a cold drink of your choice, for at least 30 days. For acute conditions, take 1 teaspoon three times daily, or consult your health practitioner. Mix well and drink quickly.
    • As a face mask: Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of The Real Thing Zeolite with a little water to make a paste. Before the paste dries, apply evenly over the face (as well as neck and chest if desired). After 10 minutes, rinse with water and mild soap. Use once every two weeks. If skin feels dry after application, apply a moisturiser. If irritation occurs, suspend use and consult your health practitioner.

    Warnings:

    Consult your physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.

  • Viridian L-Theanine & Lemon Balm 30 VegCaps

    N$357.00

    L-Theanine & Lemon Balm

    L-Theanine (a water-soluble amino acid and a constituent of green tea) with lemon balm extract.

    L-theanine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in green tea (Camellia sinensis) and has been shown to possess anti-stress, anti-depressant, neuroprotective, and cognitive performance-enhancing properties.

    Like a nice relaxing cup of tea, theanine works very fast. L-theanine is a free form of the amino acid which is rapidly absorbed and reaches maximum concentration within 30 minutes to 2 hours. In fact, the first study to assess the effects of theanine found that a single dose of 200 mg quickly increased alpha brain wave activity. Alpha waves are generated during a relaxed, attentive mental state and thus this study indicated that theanine could promote relaxation without drowsiness.

     

    Suggested use: As a food supplement, take one capsule 1-2 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

    N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC supplement) comes from the amino acid L-cysteine. It is used by the body to build antioxidants – vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that protect and repair cells from damage.

    NAC supports the production of glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant. Research suggests that vulnerable receptors, known as ACE2 receptors – which are vulnerable to spike protein damage – are protected by the  presence of NAC. NAC supplement effectively supports liver detoxification, promotes the  thinning of mucus in the lungs, making it easier to clear when coughing  which supports respiratory health, as well as supports clear, healthy  sinuses. Research suggests NAC also supports immune function.
