Constant Energy
 Daily supplement of Vitamin C and flavonoids
During the course of human development we lost the ability to make Vitamin C in the body and now rely on obtaining this essential vitamin from dietary sources.
Supplementation is highly recommended as Vitamin C is easily destroyed by modern methods of food processing and storage.
Since Vitamin C is water-soluble it usually only stays in the body for one to four hours and needs to be replaced more than once during the day to provide continuous protection.

Symptoms of Vitamin C deficiency may include, frequent colds and infections, bleeding or receding gums, nose bleeds, red pimples on the skin, easy bruising, slow wound healing, and lack of energy.
Vitamin C is:
• Used for energy production.
• A potent antioxidant that helps to prevent the ravages of free radicals.
• Essential for collagen and bone formation.
• A powerful immune booster – fights infections.
• An aid for adrenal gland function.
• A help to detoxification.

Essentials
 Rooibos essential fatty acids.
There are FOUR forms of fats:
1. Saturated fats (Solid at room
temperature). These are obtained from fatty cuts of red meat and high-fat dairy products such as cheddar cheese, butter and ice cream. These fats are not nutrients but can be used by the body to make energy. Limit intake.
2. Monounsaturated fats (Liquid at room temperature but cloudy in a refrigerator). These can be obtained from olive oil, avocado, or selected nuts (especially almonds). They help to lower insulin response to carbohydrate intake. Regular intake in small amounts.
3. Trans Faty Acids
These are artificial fats found in margarine and other partially hydrogenated oils that are used in many modern processed foods. These fats are associated with increased heart disease. Avoid intake.
4. Polyunsaturated fats (Liquid – even in a refrigerator.)
There are two types of these essential fatty acids:
• Omega 3 (Alpha-linolenic acid)
• Omega 6 (Linoleic acid) Omega 3 and Omega 6 are used by the body to manufacture hormones called eicosanoids (e.g prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes) that are the keys that ultimately control human health.
OMEGA 3 (EPA / DHA) is essential for:
• Proper brain function, good vision, learning ability, co-ordination, and mood.
• Reducing stickiness of blood, controlling blood cholesterol and fat levels.
• Improving immune function and metabolism.
• Reducing inflammation.
• Maintaining water balance.
|
Nutritional Information
Two capsules contain:
|
| EPA/DHA |
400 mg
|
| GLA (omega 6) |
75 mg |
| Rooibos |
50 mg |
| Lecithin |
25 mg |
|
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women must ensure adequate intake of Omega 3 (DHA/EPA) for optimum brain / nerve function in their babies.
• Use the Annique MULTIwonders to provide Vitamins and Minerals to enhance the production of eicosanoids.
• Avoid refined carbohydrate intake to control insulin levels so the eicosanoid balance can be correctly maintained.
• Aspirin and corticosteroids, such as cortisone and prednisone, when used for more thirty (30) days may knock out all eicosanoid production and lead to a weakened immune system.
Symptoms of essential fatty acid deficiency may include:
Dry skin, inflammatory health problems, water retention, high blood pressure or triglycerides, infections, poor memory and learning problems, lack of co-ordination, impaired vision, and poor growth in children.

Ever Young
 Rooibos Vitamin E
• A powerful antioxidant preventing cells from free radical damage (including cancer).
• Defends DNA from oxidation thereby keeping the body young.
• Helps the body use oxygen preventing blood clots, thrombosis, atherosclerosis.
• Improves wound healing and fertility. Symptoms of Vitamin E deficiency may include: lack of sex drive, exhaustion after light exercise, easy bruising, slow wound healing, varicose veins, loss of muscle tone, infertility.

The Annique MicroNutrient Range
Annique has:
• Developed a streamlined efficient HEALTH CARE RANGE that is user friendly for all ages, genders, bloodtypes, healt concerns;
• Devised a simple, synergistically integrated range for maximum effect;
• Minimised the number of capsules to be taken;
• Formulated a range to meet specific Southern African needs (taking into account local soil profiles, climatic conditions, emerging food preferences, lifestyles, and the stress of living in an emerging society);
• Produced a personal assessment procedure based upon a professional computerised questionnaire – devised by health care specialists – that will recommend correct individualised dosages;
• Ensured that the ingredients are compatible with the ABO Blood Type Theory.

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.
