 | Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg
Evening Primrose Oil contains a substance called Gamma Linolenic Acid. This is an essential fatty acid which the body converts to protaglandins - these are hormone like substances which control many of the body’s functions. In particular they help to regulate the menstrual cycle and hormone regulation, lower high blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels, they improve the condition of the skin making it smooth and help form a barrier against the loss of moisture. Essential Fatty Acids also assist in reducing inflammation and improve mobility in the joints, and are involved in many other physiological processes. Many people have inadequate levels of Essential Fatty Acids, due to food processing, glucose intolerance and ageing. This causes problems such as dry skin, eczema, acne, lack of energy and food cravings. Prostaglandins are better produced by combining EPO with other supplements such as Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6.

|  | Glucosamine Sulphate 1000mg 90caps
Glucosamine Sulphate is an amino acid sugar produced by the body. This naturally occurring molecule is used by the body to make cartilage, necessary for healthy joints and to stimulate joint repair. Latest research shows that Glucosamine Sulphate protects, as well as builds cartilage tissue rather than just countering pain.
The majority of joint damage occurs when the Synovial Fluid (fluid between the bones and joints which stops them rubbing together) becomes thin and watery. Therefore, causing the bone endings to come into contact with each other. Many have reported benefits from using Glucosamine Sulphate to ease pain and stiffness associated with Osteoathritis, sports injuries and aid joint function.
Supplementing the diet with Glucosamine Sulphate can increase the body’s ability to provide vital nutrients used in replacing worn out cells and tissues. There are many forms of Glucosamine Sulphate but Glucosamine Sulphate KCL is probably the best because it doesn’t contain salt.

Glucosamine Sulphate is an amino acid sugar produced by the body. This naturally occurring molecule is used by the body to make cartilage, necessary for healthy joints and to stimulate joint repair.Latest research proves that Glucosamine Sulphate
protects, as well as builds cartilage tissue rather than just countering pain.
