Nutritional Supplements - Essential fatty acids & antioxidants

Co Enzyme Q-10 30mg Often called the ‘Energy Sparkplug’, this vitamin-like substance is essential for the proper function of every cell in the body, particularly the liver, heart and muscles, but production tends to decline as we age. Those with heart disease or who take cholesterol lowering drugs have particularly low levels of this energy generator. Also beneficial to athletes, the overweight, angina sufferers and (according to clinical trials) for periodontal gum disease. 60 capsules Dosage: 1 - 3 capsules daily. £14.95	(Extra) High Potency Evening Primrose Oil/ Starflower Oil 1000mg This excellent value combination boosts the active Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) level to 120mg. 90 capsules £8.95
Flax Seed Oil 1000mg This cold-pressed plant oil is twice as rich in Omega 3 essential fatty acids as the highest strength cod liver oil, and provides a taste-free vegetarian alternative. Strengthens the skin, hair, bones and joint tissue and may reduce inflammation. Flaxseed contains plant oestrogens which support the female hormone system during and after the menopause. 90 capsules Dosage: 1 - 3 capsules daily. £9.95	Pure Starflower Oil 1000mg (previously High GLA 220mg) This borage (starflower) oil contains up to 3 times the Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) present in evening primrose oil so is more convenient and economic when a high potency is required. Recommended especially for M.S., premenstrual breast tenderness, menopausal symptoms and skin problems, particularly eczema. 90 capsules Dosage: 1 capsule daily. (For children - pierce capsule and add to food) £13.50
High Potency Fish Oils 1100mg Fish body oils are the most absorbable source of the Omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA for maintaining joint mobility, a healthy heart, blood and skin. Contains a total of 640mg Omega 3 fatty acids (including 310mg EPA and 210mg DHA). (N.B. not vegetarian) 60 capsules Dosage: 1 - 3 capsules daily. N.B. Avoid highest dose if taking blood thinning drugs. £9.95	Vitamin E More effectively absorbed than the synthetic dl-alpha form, this plant source vitamin E is a powerful anti-oxidant which can help protect against heart disease and cancer by reducing the damage to the cells and artery walls by destructive 'free radicals'. It reduces the risk of strokes and thrombosis by helping the blood flow freely without clotting within the vessels. Trials at Papworth Hospital confirmed that 800iu daily can reduce the risk of heart attack by 75% (aspirin showed 25%-30% benefit). A safe long term preventative. 60 or 180 capsules Dosage: 1 - 2 capsules daily. For menopausal hot flushes, up to 3 capsules daily - highly recommended for breast cancer patients taking anti-oestrogen drugs. N.B. Avoid high doses alongside anticoagulants like Warfarin.
