Epresat® Multivitamins for Easy Absorption
How effective is your daily multivitamin? Did you know that digesting solid vitamins can be difficult? The elderly and the chronically ill simply do not have enough stomach acid to carry out this process. As a result--tablets, capsules and chewable vitamins often exit the body undigested, providing very little benefit.
Epresat® is an easy-to-absorb liquid multivitamin that supplies 8 essential vitamins in a delicious natural concentrate. This formula helps to maintain health of eyesight, night vision, immune function, membrane, skin, bones, teeth, cartilages and gums.

ASSISTS WITH:
Flax-O-Mega® capsules are cold-pressed from certified organic flax seeds to provide the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) required for optimal health.
Omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs are necessary for the normal functioning of every cell, tissue, gland and organ. Since the body cannot make EFAs on its own, they must come from foods or dietary supplements.
Because omega-6s are found in a wide variety of foods, most people consume adequate amounts of this essential fatty acid. In fact, many people overindulge in foods that contain omega-6s. These items include polyunsaturated vegetable oils made from safflower, sunflower, soybean, sesame, pumpkin, wheat germ, corn, cottonseed, walnut and wheat germ. Seeds and nuts are rich in omega-6s and so are most meats, fast foods and snack foods.
Omega-3s are more likely to be lacking in the average person’s diet, because there are relatively few foods that contain these important foundational fats. Dietary sources include oils from fish as well as some plants and nuts. Omega-3s are found in oil from halibut, salmon, sardines, mackerel and tuna. Vegetable oils, such as soybean, olive, canola and flax seed contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid.
Flax oil is one of the richest sources of omega-3s. It is also less expensive and does not contain environmental toxins as is often the case with fish.
The effects of Omega-3 deficiency include:

Silica helps rejuvenate the collagen in your system and reverse some of the effects of aging by maintaining the elasticity and suppleness of the skin. Silica is needed for the continuous formation of collagen for the maintenance of healthy bones, tooth enamel, cartilage, blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and joints.
Florasil® is an organic vegetal silica supplement that helps provide the silica you need. A unique product is plant-based, made from the spring horsetail plant, Florasil® is the only vegetal silica supplement that is bonded with bioflavonoids, which help the silica make its way through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.
Florasil® is produced according to Dr. Louis Kervran's patented extraction method, whereby organic vegetal silica is extracted from spring horsetail, using water instead of chemicals. Only silica prepared in this gentle manner yields a highly bioavailable silicate in the form of orthosilicic acid.
This extraction method not only preserves the bioflavonoids necessary for the effective absorption of silica, but it ensures the retention of a spectrum of naturally occurring beneficial minerals including calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, boron, iron and phosphorus.

Because of poor eating habits, daily stress and the average modern diet that consists of too many nutrient-depleted processed foods, it is wise to supplement with Flora™ MULTI CAPS on a daily basis.
Traditionally our competitors prepare materials for tablets and capsules with Wet Bed Granulation, a process that requires the use of alcohol solvents and high temperature drying to achieve the necessary material characteristics.
Flora™ eliminates the need for this potentially destructive process by using Dry Bed Granulation, which allows the solids to dissolve faster so that the active compounds are released more efficiently. And because no moisture is involved in the process, the quality of the B vitamins is better preserved.
Easy to absorb, Flora™ MULTI CAPS are designed to ensure exceptional bioavailability of nutrients such as vitamin C, D3, E and many B vitamins as well as calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc.

Oil pressed from flax is incredibly rich in both omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, if it is freshly pressed and unrefined. These two EFAs are important for supporting the immune system, good digestion, healthy brain function, soft and smooth skin and good circulation.*
Because of the this flax oil's superior nutritional make-up, we recommend it always be used unheated. Flora’s fresh-pressed flax oil is perishable and should be kept refrigerated at all times. The pressing and expiration dates are stamped on each bottle to ensure freshness. The shelf life is six months refrigerated, or one year frozen.
Flora Flax Oil contains: 57% polyunsaturated ALA, or Alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), 21% monounsaturated Oleic acid (omega-9), 14% polyunsaturated Linoleic acid (omega-6).
ASSISTS WITH:
Flora Oils are truly cold-pressed, unrefined and unmodified. Most seeds used in our oils are grown organically by Canadian and U.S. farmers and are selected for their high quality and abundance of Essential Fatty Acids, EFAs.
EFAs such as omega-3s and omega-6s are needed by our bodies, but the body cannot make them on its own. They must be obtained from dietary sources. Using only the finest ingredients, Flora is proud to support your healthy lifestyle with a full line of Pure Premium Oils.
The quality of our oils is ensured by a third party certifying agency, Quality Assurance International (QAI). Unlike other commercially produced oils, Flora Oils are pressed in a light- and oxygen-free environment on highly sophisticated presses, where friction heat is kept well below 118°F (50°C) to produce truly cold-pressed oils that preserve the fragile EFAs.
These oils are then bottled in non-reactive dark brown glass bottles to prevent deterioration from light, and are stamped for freshness. As an additional protective measure, we use a nitrogen flush to ensure oxidation cannot occur, and that top quality is maintained.
Made with care and the utmost attention to detail, Flora Oils retain their authentic color, delicate flavor and primary nutritional characteristics. Providing valuable essential fatty acids from natural sources, these healthful, Pure Premium Oils complement a wide variety of nutritious meals.

ASSISTS WITH:
Every cell, tissue, gland and organ is dependent upon the presence of Essential Fatty Acids or EFAs. Your body needs these foundational fats, but cannot make them on its own. They must be obtained through dietary sources. Unfortunately, the modern Western diet is often quite deficient in omega-3 EFAs.
EFAs manufacture and repair cell membranes, enabling the cells to properly assimilate nutrients from our foods and efficiently expel toxins and waste products. A deficiency, or even an imbalance, of EFAs can be linked to a decline in the optimal functioning of the body’s natural processes.
Udo’s Oil™ 3·6·9 Blend supplies omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs in a 2:1 ratio. It is a special formulation of natural, unrefined oils from fresh, certified organic flax, sunflower, sesame and evening primrose seeds as well as oils from coconut, rice and bran.
This formula is the result of many years of scientific study by world-renowned nutrition expert Udo Erasmus, author of the best-selling book, Fats That Heal Fats That Kill. Udo’s research over the years indicates that the best results come consistently from oils blended to be richer in omega-3 than omega-6, in a 2:1 ratio.* Udo’s oil contains the ideal ratio, while fish oils and pure flax oils do not.
Why you need a 2:1 ratio: The key to health from fats lies in ingesting the essential ones in the proper ratio.* This isn’t usually achieved because the average Western diet is much too high in omega-6 and dangerously low in omega-3.
Omega-3 ALA (alpha linolenic acid) and omega-6 LA (linoleic acid) are Essential Fatty Acids the body requires for maintaining good health.* Flax seed oil is the richest known source of omega-3 ALA, which helps promote healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.*(1)
Udo’s Oil™ 3-6-9 Blend is made with health in mind, unlike supermarket cooking oils, which are highly processed for long shelf life. All ingredients in Udo’s oils are grown and processed without chemicals. For optimum freshness, these products are sealed in non-reactive recyclable amber glass bottles to avoid damage from heat and light.
USEFUL FOR:
RESEARCH FINDINGS:
Numerous scientific studies have shown that, as part of a healthy diet, EFAs help:
EFAs also contribute to skin health, helping dry, scaly skin become clearer, smoother and softer.*(7)
Because large amounts of EFAs are needed for normal development and function of the brain and nervous system, a deficiency of EFAs can lead to problems like mood swings, proneness to stress, and a decline in memory, learning skills and concentration.*(8)

New Roots Herbal Borage Oil Certified Organic
On sale $ 28.05 $ 23.84
Borage oil is a great source of GLA (Gamma linoleic acid). New Roots Herbal Borage Oil is certified organic and non-G.M.O.
Borage oil reduces the aches and pains of rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania found that high doses of borage oil (1.4 gm a day) led to a significant reduction in pain and swelling in arthritic joints when compared with cottonseed oil, which has no GLA. In a separate study, patients with active rheumatoid arthritis demonstrated fewer clinical signs of inflammation after taking GLA-rich capsules for several months, compared to those who took a placebo. Other researchers reported reduced damage to joint tissues, and less joint pain and swelling, in those rheumatoid arthritis sufferers given very high GLA doses in the form of borage oil.
Borage oil also relieves the discomforts of PMS, endometriosis, and fibrocystic breasts. By interfering with the production of inflammatory substances called prostaglandins, which are released during menstruation, the GLA in borage oil may help ease related cramping and pain. Borage oil may also reduce some of the breast tenderness that women feel before their periods and calm endometriosis-associated inflammation. Many PMS sufferers are found to have unusually low levels of GLA in their systems, which is why supplements may help so much. In women with fibrocystic breasts, the oil’s essential fatty acids can minimize breast inflammation and promote the absorption of iodine, a mineral often found in abnormally low levels in those with this condition.
New Roots Herbal Borage Oil is certified organic and non-G.M.O. From its bristly stems to its blue star-shaped flowers, virtually all parts of the borage plant (Borago officinalis) have been used over the centuries for their healing properties and as a flavoring for foods. As early as the 1600s, Europeans mixed borage leaves and flowers into a wine that was renowned for relieving boredom and dispelling melancholy.
Like evening primrose oil and black currant seed oil, borage oil owes its healing power to the presence of essential fatty acids, the most important of which is GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid. (While borage oil is often used interchangeably with evening primrose oil, borage oil boasts more than twice as much GLA.) Once processed by the body, GLA is converted into hormone like substances that can either block inflammation or promote it. In borage oil, the GLA seems to calm inflammation overall, making it an attractive treatment option for arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Nature’s most potent concentration of GLA comes in the form of borage seed oil (24%). A great deal of scientific research has been conducted with supplements rich in GLA, resulting in significant interest regarding the aforementioned health ailments, as well as those affected by pre-menstrual syndrome, benign breast disease, eczema, psoriasis, obesity, and vascular disorders.
The essential fatty acids combined here have proven to impart a regulatory function on the body’s fatty acid metabolism. Fat metabolism is as important, if not more critical, than our body’s metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates as evidenced by the drastic rise in fat related degenerative diseases, such as vascular disease and strokes. Dietary essential fatty acids common to borage seed oil are ultimately converted to hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are important for the regulation of a host of bodily functions including inflammation, swelling, pain pressure in the eye, joints or blood vessels, secretions from mucus membranes and their viscosity, smooth muscle and autonomic reflexes, gastrointestinal system, arteries, ears, heart, water retention, blood clotting ability, allergic response, rheumatoid arthritis, nerve transmission, and steroid production & hormone synthesis.
Past and present scientific research supports the use of essential fatty acid nutrients in promoting optimal health. Borage seed oil is recognized as nature’s richest source of GLA. These natural plant substances used alone have created a great deal of interest in the treatment of numerous health problems. Evidence exists to suggest the combination of omega-3 fatty acids with gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) may further complement the therapeutic result of either fatty acid used singularly.
Adults: As a source of essential fatty acids for maintenance of good health, take 2 softgels twice daily, or as directed by your health care practitioner.
Each softgel contains: | ||
Borago officinalis (Borage) (seed) oil 100% | 1000 mg | |

On sale $ 29.99 $ 24.33
New Roots Herbal’s Magnesium Bisglycinate Plus delivers magnesium as an amino acid chelate to maximize intestinal absorption and reduce upset stomach.
NPN 80022757
The chelated form (bound to 2 glycine molecules) of magnesium in New Roots Herbal’s Magnesium Bisglycinate Plus has proven to be the most bioavailable form of this micronutrient, with rates of absorption in excess of 200% higher than other forms such as magnesium chloride.
Each capsule of New Roots Herbal’s Magnesium Bisglycinate Plus contains 150 mg of magnesium in its elemental form. The formula includes an additional 30 mg of the amino acid L-taurine to improve the assimilation of magnesium at the cellular level. It’s estimated that up to 70% of North Americans are magnesium deficient. Supplementation with New Roots Herbal can help meet the recommended daily allowance for adults of 300 mg of elemental magnesium.
Magnesium is among the most important minerals essential to our well being. It participates in more than 300 enzymatic reactions that affect all aspects of metabolic function. Intestinal absorption and skeletal storage and release of calcium, along with nervous system function, are also dependent upon an adequate dietary intake of magnesium. Unfortunately, even the foods that are traditionally good sources of magnesium are often grown in magnesium deficient soil. Magnesium supplementation with Magnesium Bisglycinate Plus by New Roots Herbal can improve a wide range of health concerns ranging from musculoskeletal health to stress management.
Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule twice daily or as directed by your health care practitioner.
