• Silica - The Beauty Mineral

  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.

  Protect your Eyes from Within!*

  Shakespeare once wrote that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Consider all the impressions we receive through our eyes, and how much our eyes reveal about us. Most people believe that the only avenue for those with vision problems is corrective lenses, laser surgery or drugs. Sight is one of our most precious senses – fortunately there are nutrients and herbs that can play a valuable role in supporting the health of our eyes.*

  Lutein and zeaxanthin are the two major carotenoid pigments in the human macula and retina. The macula is a part of the eye found in the center of the retina, directly behind the lens. It’s a tiny area composed of millions of cells that help produce the vision needed to read and to see objects clearly.

  Lutein is very important to human health, but your body cannot manufacture it on its own. Consuming foods (ie. spinach, kale, broccoli, corn) and taking dietary supplements that contain it is the only way for the body to get lutein, which is needed by the eyes, skin, blood serum, brain, cervix and breast.*

  Within the eye, lutein is highly concentrated in the macular region and filters out more than 90% of the blue wavelengths of light from the visible-light spectrum. Blue light, whether from sunlight or indoor lighting, can lead to oxidative stress and free radical damage in the eyes.

  In regards to the skin, lutein is deposited in the outer and inner dermal layers providing antioxidant protection against exposure to the sun and environmental pollutants.

  Used in Herbal Medicine:

  • To help slow the progression of disorders of the eye, such as diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy, and macular degenration.
  • To help relieve symptoms related to non-complicated chronic venous insufficiency (CIV), such as sensation of swelling, heaviness and tingling of the legs.
  • Provides antioxidants for the maintenance of good health.

  Bilberry helps to improve vision in near-sighted adults.

   

  Key Features

  • FloraVision® provides 18 mg of lutein from marigold flower (standardized to 18 mg of lutein and 0.7 mg of zeaxanthin) as well as 10 mg of bilberry fruit extract (standardized to 25% anthocyanidins) in a whole food base of certified organic carrot powder.
  • Offers a powerful antioxidant complex including two key carotenoid pigments.
  • Encapsulated in easily digested vegetarian capsules.
  • Packaged in environmentally-friendly amber glass bottles.
  • Backed by clinical research.

   

  Key Benefits

  • Excellent for supplementing the diet to support vision health*
  • Antioxidants for support of healthy skin*

   

  RESEARCH FINDINGS:

  The LAST (Lutein Antioxidant Supplementation Trial) study was a 2004, 12-month, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial that used FloraGlo®lutein.

  A randomized, placebo-controlled human clinical trial in Europe found that 10 mg of FloraGlo® lutein per day for 12 weeks improved skin hydration and skin elasticity, and decreased skin lipid peroxidation.(1)*

• Tired? You may be Iron Deficient!

  Why do so many of us constantly feel tired or fatigued? Perhaps the reason is iron deficiency, the most prevalent nutrient deficiency worldwide. Iron deficiency is the leading cause of fatigue among women between the time of menstruation and menopause. It is estimated that up to 26% of menstruating women are iron deficient.

  Women of childbearing age and adolescent girls need to regularly replace the iron that is eliminated through monthly blood loss. The elderly are also at risk because they no longer absorb iron from foods as efficiently as when they were younger. Vegetarians and those who eat little or no red meat may also be iron deficient. Endurance athletes and those who exercise regularly lose iron through perspiration, putting them at risk for deficiency and decreased endurance.

  Floravit® is a yeast-free, gluten-free liquid iron supplement that is specially formulated for easy absorption and assimilation. In fact, over 98% of the iron is available for quick potential absorption. The daily use of Floravit® helps normalize low iron levels to boost energy, vitality and optimal health. Floravit® is especially important before and during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding.

  Iron is an essential element for the body.It combines with copper and protein to make hemoglobin, a major component of red blood cells which transports oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues of the body.Iron is also needed throughout the body for adenosine triphosphate production (ATP), which is required for cellular energy and proper cell function. When iron is low, ATP production drops and energy levels decrease as a result.

  The signs and symptoms of iron deficiency include: Fatigue, weakness, pale skin, dark circles under the eyes, brittle hair and nails, shortness of breath and cold hands and feet.

• Iron-Free Liquid Multivitamins for Growing Bodies A pleasant tasting liquid supplement for children, Kindervital is a unique, balanced herbal tonic that supplies bone- and tissue-building vitamins and minerals such as calcium and magnesium that are important for growing children. Kindervital helps the body with the absorption and use of calcium, which is especially important for developing strong teeth and your child’s growing bones. The quality and quantity of bone laid down in childhood will strongly impact bone health later in life. In fact, 90% of bone mass is laid down by the age of 17. Kindervital contains vitamins A, B, C, D and E. The formula is iron-free, because iron competes directly with calcium for absorption. This delicious liquid supplement is made with carrots, wheat germ, rosehips, watercress, horsetail, nettle and spinach. The formula supports eye health and provides vitamins and antioxidants to promote strong immune function. Today, most children are not eating as nutritiously as they should. The typical modern diet has become saturated with processed, refined foods stripped of their nutrients with empty calories that contribute to childhood obesity. Kindervital helps ensure that youngsters obtain the nutrients they need for proper growth and overall good health. NPN Claims Supports normal growth and the formation of tissue, connective tissue and red blood cells Assists the development and maintenance of bones, teeth, gums, cartilage and night vision Helps maintain eyesight, skin, membranes and immune function Helps the body to metabolize nutrients including fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, as well as the absorption and use of calcium Provides antioxidants for the maintenance of good health and wound healing Helps in proper muscle function for children over 9 years old and adults Benefits Calcium is especially important for your child’s growing bones and for developing strong teeth Magnesium assists calcium in building bone strength and ensuring that the body utilizes calcium properly. Needed for over 300 biochemical reactions, magnesium helps with nerve, heart and muscle function Vitamin A repairs tissue, strengthens vision and aids in bone and teeth formation while supporting mucous membranes and their secretions, including those in the lungs B Vitamins offer “brain food” to the rapidly developing brain of a child and promote nervous system function. B vitamins also promote healthy appetite and stimulate muscle growth. Vitamin C supports the immune system, helps build strong connective tissue and reduces histamines, which are responsible for the uncomfortable symptoms of seasonal issues including watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose and itching Vitamin D is the most crucial vitamin in childhood, because it’s needed for proper absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus. Due to the increase of pollution and limited sun exposure, vitamin D deficiency is on the rise, posing a threat to healthy bone development. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects the Essential Fatty Acids in cell walls, preventing cells from being damaged. It also supports a strong immune response Features Kindervital contains vitamins A, B, C, D and E as well as key minerals which are bound to organic compounds for superior absorption Vitamin D is added for proper absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus Thoughtfully prepared in a pure food base of delicious fruit juices, aqueous herbal and vegetable extracts, maple syrup, honey, rosehip and other nutritious extracts Contains mild digestive herbs to improve absorption and stimulate appetite Free of alcohol, dairy, lactose, artificial sweeteners, additives and preservatives Tested to guarantee heavy metals and pesticides are well below accepted limits All vegetarian liquid formula Packaged in environmentally friendly glass bottles Certified kosher Delicious fruit taste that children love The formula is iron-free, because iron competes directly with calcium for absorption Made in Germany by Salus
