Always Healthy
Rooibos Vitamin A with betacarotene

Vitamin A starts out as beta-carotene (retinyl palmitate), one of the family of plant chemicals known as carotenoids. The body converts it to various other forms of Vitamin A called retinols. Beta-carotene is not toxic in large amounts although the skin may turn orange. Vitamin A, however, is stored in the liver and high levels can be toxic. People with diabetes, hypothyroidism, or liver disease cannot easily convert betacarotene into Vitamin A. An appropriate ratio of beta-carotene / Vitamin A has been used in this supplement.

B-Controlled
Rooibos Vitamin B-complex

‘B’ Vitamins help to turn food into energy. This process requires all eight of these essential nutrients (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, Folic Acid, and Biotin). Combining them as a B-Complex allows their synergistic interaction to be enhanced. B Vitamins are water-soluble and therefore need to be supplemented daily.

A special word about Water. The body consists of about 80% water and can lose about 1.5 litres a day through the skin, lungs, gut, and via the kidneys as urine thereby enabling toxic substances to be eliminated. Water is necessary for the maintenance of optimum health and the efficiency of all the body’s systems.

Some important pointers about water and related fluids:
• Drink 30 ml of pure water per kg of body mass.
For example, a 50 kg person should drink 50 x 30 ml per day = 1.5 litres.)
Thirst is a late indicator of the need to drink – we should thus drink throughout the day and not just when we feel thirsty!
• Types of water:
Tap Water – may contain chemical additives for purification. If possible, avoid it or use a recommended filter.
Distilled Water – is pure but contains no minerals as they were left behind in the distillation process.
Mineral Water – is good but only if correctly bottled at source and without the introduction of contaminants and bacterial overload.
Check the label for mineral content.
Minimise the intake of alcohol, coffee and normal tea. (Alcohol acts as a diuretic and thus dehydrates the body.) Diluted fruit juices, herbal teas and especially Rooibos are preferable to alcohol, tea, or coffee.

To enhance the positive effect of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids we have added certain other ingredients such as herbs, amino acids, and extracts of fruit and vegetables to our capsules.

Aspalathus linearis extract
Aspalathus linearis is a herbal plant found only on the slopes of the Cedarberg Mountains in the Western Cape (South Africa). It has powerful anti-allergic and antioxidant properties. It contains the calming quercetin and luteolin and a unique flavonoid, aspalathin that supports cell stabilisation. The naturally occurring enzymes in rooibos enhance the absorption of other ingredients giving better results.

Choline helps to emulsify large fat particles and turn them into tiny particles with a greater surface area so that the fat-splitting enzyme lipase can work more effectively.
Supplementing lecithin also helps with the digestion of the modern high fat diets and is a good source of choline and inositol. Choline is necessary for improved brain performance.

Vitamins are organic substances necessary for life. Most cannot be made by the body and must be obtained from food and dietary supplements.
Vitamins regulate metabolism through enzyme systems. Deficiencies can endanger the whole body.

4% of the body is made from minerals. They are used to regulate and balance body chemistry.
Macro-minerals, like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium are needed in large quantities by the body whilst traceminerals, such as chromium, iodine, manganese, and selenium are needed in much smaller quantities.
Plants absorb minerals from the soil. Man then obtains them directly from edible plants and animals who eat plants. Over-farming of soils, food refining, and toxic mineral overload from pollution has resulted in humans needing to supplement with minerals conducive to good health.
*Minerals are essential for the effective absorption of vitamins.

Polyunsaturated fats / oils are essential for optimum health because they cannot be made by the body. They reduce the risk of many diseases including cancer, heart disease, allergies, depression and others.
There are two types – Omega-3 (from flax and fish oils) and Omega-6 (from seed oils). Modern food choices are often deficient in Omega-3 and to a lesser extent Omega-6. Current research is indicating that supplementation of Omega-3 and to a lesser extent Omega-6 is necessary for brain functioning and general body health.
