Enough micronutrients can help you to obtain optimal health to fight diseases and shake off illness. Micronutrients are one of the most vital groups of nutrients your body needs. They include vitamins and minerals, necessary for energy production, immune function, blood clotting and other functions. Minerals are important for growth, bone health, fluid balance and several other processes.   A happy, healthy immune system also requires other nutrients, such as digestive enzymes, probiotics and fibre.    Do you have time to keep track of your daily intake?   Healthy and balanced eating can keep the nasties at bay.

What is Grape-seed Extract?   Grape-seed extract (proanthocyanidin) is a dietary supplement made by removing, drying, and pulverizing the bitter-tasting seeds of grapes. Grape seeds are rich in antioxidants, including phenolic acids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes.  Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals are waste substances produced by cells as the body processes food and reacts to the environment. If the body cannot process and remove free radicals efficiently, oxidative stress can occur. This can be harmful to cells and body function. Oxidative stress has been linked to heart disease, arthritis, cancer, respiratory diseases, stroke, immune deficiency, emphysema, Parkinson’s disease, and other inflammatory or ischemic conditions. Due to its high antioxidant content, grape-seed extract can help prevent disease and protect against oxidative stress, tissue damage, and inflammation.     9 Benefits of taking Grape-seed Extract Can inhibit infectious growth & support a healthy immune system...

What is MCT Oil? Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT's) are a type of fat that is found in certain oils and dairy products. MCT oil is made from these fats.  MCTs can be found in coconut oil, palm kernel oil, milk and butter. MCT oil is used mostly by people who want to lose weight or boost their energy and endurance during a workout. The oil is also believed to improve brain function and possibly help with various forms of dementia.   How does MCT Oil work?  MCTs are processed by the body differently to long-chain fatty acids. Unlike other fats, it goes straight from the gut to the liver. There, they are turned into ketones to be used as a source of energy. Ketones are chemicals produced when the liver breaks down a lot of fat. The body produces them when there is not enough insulin in the body to turn sugar into energy...

How does it work? Activated Charcoal is a fine black, odourless, tasteless powder made from various materials including bamboo, coconut husk. It has a porous surface made up of millions of microscopic pores which trap toxins and chemicals and a negative electric charge that draws positive charged toxins and gas to bond with it. This reaction where elements bind to a surface is known as adsorption. What is it effective for? With over 4000 substances that charcoal adsorbs effectively, it is easier to list what charcoal does not adsorb effectively.  Some of those are: - Alcohol (beer, wine, hard liquor, ethyl alcohol, ethanol, methanol, etc.) - Cyanide - Ethylene glycol - Iron - Lithium - Mineral acids - Alkaline substances (most degreasing, cleaning products)    Adsorption of bacteria and viruses Firstly, activated charcoal is adsorbent and not absorbent. Studies have found that the activated charcoal showed a lower binding capacity...
