The Real Thing Zeolite Powder
Health Care Supplements
A volcanic mineral supplement with dramatic detoxifying effects. Zeolite is a natural volcanic compound that contains mineral nutrients like potassium, calcium (also a pH buffer), a little sodium and various other elements too. A volcanic mineral compound with healthy detoxifying effects. But The Real Thing Zeolite Powder contains a particular kind called clinoptilolite. Clinoptilolite is the most abundant zeolite and reported to be ideal for zeolite exchange. Detox – The negatively charged honeycomb structure found in the zeolite sucks in the positively charged toxins, free radicals, radioactive substances, viruses and heavy metal ions and helps seep them from your system. More Minerals – Zeolites have previously been used to balance nitrogen, calcium and phosphorous levels in animal feed. But they can also affect the mineral balance within the body. How? Well, firstly because toxin build-up can impair the absorption of essential minerals for optimal health. So, by reducing the toxin load, Zeolite helps to restore the incoming mineral balance. Simple. Then it also replaces toxic heavy metals with healthful potassium, calcium and (to some extent) sodium. Better mineral input overall. General Health Boost – Zeolite is thought to contribute to improved general health and immune system function. It also has demonstrated antioxidant activity that may bring beneficial tissue protection too. Digestive Support – It’s a digestive system buffer or alkaliniser that acts against excessive acidity in the body. Plus Zeolite can also improve the digestibility of nutrients, meaning you get more of what you need. Facemask – For internal or external detox of the skin. Ingredients: Just the purest, 100% natural powdered zeolites, comprised of 95% clinoptilolite. Free of: wheat, gluten or dairy. No binders, fillers, preservatives or additives of any kind. Dosage For general detox: After food, take 1 level teaspoon (5g) daily for at least 30 days, mixed with water or a cold drink of your choice. For acute dosing: Consult your health care practitioner. As a face mask: Mix 1 to 2 level tablespoons with a little water to make a paste. Before the paste dries, apply evenly over the face (and neck and chest if desired). After 10 minutes, rinse off with mild soap and water. Use once every two weeks. If skin feels dry after application, apply a moisturiser. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your health care practitioner. Store your Zeolite Powder in a cool, dry place, below 25°C and out of direct sunlight.

Organic grasses of wheat, barley and alfalfa, seven organic or wild-harvested sea vegetables PLUS chlorella, spirulina, parsley and spinach. Ingredients 1. GREENS Organic wheat, barley and alfalfa grasses Pure cereal grasses provide a multinutritional boost. Organically grown in rich volcanic soil. They can lay down deep roots and absorb more nutrients. Alfalfa grass in particular. It lays down the deepest roots of any plant or vegetable and deeper roots mean even more nutrients. Parsley It contains so many ingredients that have so many healthful effects on our system, Besides containing carotene, vitamins B1, B2, C and K, it is a potent anti-oxidant and helps detox. Spinach Spinach is an extremely rich source of antioxidants and a rich source of vitamin A, C, E, K,iron, folic acid, magnesium and nitrates.

SUPERIOR SPROUTS! Nutrient and enzyme dense sprouts. Organic Adzuki, Amaranth, Fenugreek, Quinoa and Sunflower unleash some of the most dynamite packages of health. FACT: Sprouts are estimated to have 100 times more enzymes than uncooked fruits and vegetables. Most of these enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for all your body’s functions; extracting more vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids from the foods you eat. Sprouts have substantially more fibre than their fully grown counterparts. Amaranth When Amaranth seeds sprout, they pop like popcorn. Popping out an abundance of nutrients like lysine, an essential amino acid, limited in other grains or plant sources. Its content of plant stanols and squalene may be of benefit for those with hypertension, cardiovascular disease and to help lower cholesterol. Vitamin A, vitamin C and folate, thiamine, niacin and riboflavin compliment a source of some dietary minerals including calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, copper, and manganese. Fenugreek This small annual leguminous herb is native to sub-Himalayan plains of India and is one of the oldest medicinal recorded herbs. It’s a rich source of vitamins and minerals. The myriad of medicinal benefits attributed to fenugreek are insurmountable. Blood cleanser, diaphoretic, lymphatic cleanser, laxative, cough and bronchitis are to name just a few. Traditionally, fenugreeks are being used to assist with digestive problems and to improve breast milk secretion in the nursing mothers. Sunflower Remember this statement?? ‘sprouting fresh shoots can boost the nutritional qualities by 300 to 1200 percent’.Well consider that these tiny powerhouses have 30 times the nutrient value and life force of any other sprout! We are onto a whole different level of superfood now.. Adzuki Adzuki sprouts, voted the “most red” sprout, provide a valuable source of minerals; iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc and folic acid. This legume is a source of the isoflavones genistein and daidizen, both showing great promise in the fight against cancer. Not only does sprouting Adzuki beans provide an even higher than normal isoflavone content, but these isoflavones are thought to be even more available for digestion. A bouble blessing. Quinoa Kinwa or Qin-wah…. However you say it, it’s packed with essential amino acids like lysine and good helpings of calcium, phosphorous and iron. The Andean civilisations knew a good thing – quinoa is a “super-grain”, due to a protein content that’s higher than rice, potatoes, barley and millet. It’s a great source of fibre, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. 4. CAROTENOIDS! A Combination of Organic carrot, beetroot and tomato powder. Both beta-carotene (orange phytonutrients in carrots) and lycopene (red-phytonutrients in tomatoes), are part of the anti-cancer carotenoid family. Studies have linked the antioxidant effects of lycopene to reducing heart disease, diabetes, macular degeneration, osteoporosis and cancers. Betacyanin is what gives beetroot it’s vibrant red colour, is a powerful detox agent and is shown to play a powerful role in the fight against cancer, particularly of the colon.

The Real Thing Mega Omega Supreme
Health Care Supplements
Pharmaceutical Grade, Super concentrated Fish Oil with 1600MG Omega 3 Fatty acids per serving. The Real Thing Mega Omega Supreme. 60 Capsules Mega Omega SUPREME delivers 1 600 mg of omega 3 per two-capsule dose – mostly DHA and EPA. OMEGA 3- Polyunsaturated fatty acids that are important for normal metabolism. What? The long-chain omega 3s, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are considered the most important fatty acids in the omega 3 family. They’re called “essential” fatty acids because, although your body needs them for healthy cellular functioning, it can’t produce them. So they will have to be obtained from the diet or from a pure and concentrated fish oil supplement.. The Real Thing Mega Omega Fish oil. Why? Getting the right amount of EPA and DHA can boost health on many levels – particularly when it comes to… Heart health Brain health ADHD, particularly in kids Where? To get the right amount of omega 3 you have to choose the right food and the right supplements – namely omega-3 dense foods like olive oil and oily fish, and mega-concentrated supplements like The Real Thing Mega Omega. OMEGA 6- is a family of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory Polyunsaturated fatty acids. The biological effects of the omega-6 fatty acids are largely produced during and after physical activity for the purpose of promoting growth and during inflammation to halt cell damage and promote cell repair. What? These omega 3 – such as gamma-linoleic acid and linoleic acid – are also “essential” fatty acids that the body needs but can’t manufacture. Why? In the correct ratio, omega 6s work with omega 3s to help… Build brain function and manage ADHD Reduce inflammation Prevent peripheral neuropathy in diabetics, and Help in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and PMS. But the correct ratio is the key. Where? Found mostly in vegetable oils and meat, they’re also present in plant-based oils, such as evening primrose oil, borage oil and black currant seed oil. OMEGA 9 What? Oleic acid, or omega 9 for short, can be made by the body in small amounts – but only if omega 3 and 6 are present. So this fatty acid is most often obtained through food. Why? It helps promote healthy immune function while reducing the risk of arteriosclerosis, heart disease and stroke. Once again, the right omega ratio is key. Where? It’s found in olive oil, avocados, nuts and borage oil. A BIT OF SCIENCE… WHAT MEGA OMEGA FISH OILS CAN DO FOR YOU 1. A HEALTHIER HEART Research has confirmed it: EPA- and DHA-rich fish oil supplements get to the heart of the cardiovascular system. How? By helping to… Reduce blood pressure Reduce “bad” LDL and triglyceride levels Raise “good” HDL cholesterol levels Lower the risk of thrombosis, atherosclerosis, heart disease, heart attack and stroke Promote recovery post-heart attack Other research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids can help with weight-loss and circulatory problems like varicose veins. They can also bring cardiovascular protection to diabetics, who often have low HDL levels, and high triglycerides. 2. A BRAINIER BRAIN Brain Food. That’s what mom calls it when she’s making fish for dinner. And it’s not just a hard-sell. It’s a scientific fact. This is because, in both children and adults, the long-chain omega 3s found in oily fish, have been shown to… Enhance memory Improve attention Promote concentration Help in the management of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the most common neurological condition in children Help in the treatment and prevention of conditions like depression, schizophrenia, Huntington’s disease and Alzheimer’s Disease Help reduce symptoms of bipolar disorder in children. 3. MORE BODY BENEFITS The long-chain omega 3s might be most famous for their heart-helping, brain-building effects. But that’s not all. Just like an infomercial. They’ll throw in all of this too. Safer cell walls. EPA and DHA are central to maintaining the body’s most basic security systems – healthy cell membranes that prevent viral invasions and maintain a healthy water, nutrient and electrolyte balance. Harder working nerves. By helping to keep the myelin sheaths around nerves intact omega 3s provide better insulation meaning better signal conduction. Easier breathing. They help asthmatics to breathe easier by reducing inflammation and improving lung function. Better bones and joints. They also ease joint pain and inflammation in conditions like osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis. Plus, EPA can help increase calcium levels leading to better bone density and reduced risk of osteoporosis. Safer sight. Macular degeneration, a disease that can lead to blindness, has been shown to be significantly reduced by omega 3s. Healthy moms and babies. More than safe for pregnant women and babies, omega 3s can help to prevent premature births, low birth weights and, later, hyperactive children. Hope for mood management. Preliminary evidence suggests they could even help in the treatment of depression and anxiety. Pet protection. For older pets and those with skin conditions, allergies, arthritis, low immunity or a lack-lustre coat, mix 1 to 2 doses of Mega Omega Fish Oil into food daily. Dosage For maintenance, take 2 capsules daily with food. This can be increased to 2 capsules twice a day. Consult your health practitioner. Safe for pregnant women and kids.

The Real Thing Joint Revolution
Health Care Supplements
A Natural, Five-ingredient formula with Joint-enhancing effects. The body is a machine. It chugs, charges and changes. Because it’s always moving and evolving, it requires high-functioning cogs, wheels and gears (that is the joints and cartilage). Despite their toughness, joints can be needy and require cushioning to absorb force. Ingredients: Hyal-Joint (Sodium Hyaluronate), Hydrolysed Type II Collagen, Native Type II Collagen, Glucosamine Sulphate, Chondroitin Sulphate, OptiMSM (Methylsulphonylmethane). 1. Hyal-Joint (Sodium Hyaluronate) – plumps up those cushions and slows down the enzymes that break down cartilage, which you need for smooth movements, soft landings and safe joints. Regenerating joint cushioning to absorb mechanical stress Increasing joint lubrication for smoother movement Maintaining the visco-elasticity of synovial fluid Preventing the breakdown of natural joint cushioning Inhibiting the release of enzymes that break down cartilage Reducing pain associated with joint problems Improving quality of life for chronic knee pain sufferers 2. Hydrolysed Type II collagen– is a protein found in the cartilage that lines joints. It takes care of connective tissue. And because it’s hydrolysed, it’s easily absorbed by cartilage, ligaments and tendons. It strengthens and nourishes: Supplying the raw materials needed to build healthier cartilage. And strong cartilage means stronger joints. Providing joints with more structural support. Cartilage protects them from friction, compression, repetitive movement and impact. Protecting against injury. More collagen means better shock absorption and less joint damage. 3. Native Type II Collagen– As the primary form of collagen in cartilage, is extremely strong and provides amino acids that may reduce inflammation in your joints and improve their flexibility. Helps joints: Providing protection: Sometimes your immune system gets confused and, in response to damage, attacks cartilage. Enter Native Type II Collagen – the defense force for your cartilage. Reducing pain: It’s a small protein that packs a big punch – helping to fight stiffness and decrease any discomfort. 4. Glucosamine– This sweet little thing helps your joints by: Stimulating the production of collagen to strengthen connective tissue Reducing inflammation by increasing the amount of hyaluronic acid Increasing absorption of sulphate for proper cartilage and synovial function Helping cartilage and joints to maintain elasticity, strength and resilience 5. Chondroitin Sulphate– Found in cartilage and connective tissues, chondroitin is the base for the formation of the joint and cartilaginous matrix. It: Absorbs water so that cartilage is thicker and more elastic and can take more stress Slows the breakdown of the cartilage matrix and synovial fluid Stimulates the production of new collagen and cartilage matrix 6. MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane)- MSM is a source of sulphur, which is important for the formation of connective tissue. It can be found in fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, fish, coffee, tea, chocolate and milk. MSM is a power player in the joint revolution.

The Real Thing Ester-C Combo
Health Care Supplements
A Natural, esterified form of Vitamin C that is absorbed about 400 times faster than the Vitamin C itself. With Bioflavonoids, Organic Kelp & Rockweed, Spirulina, Selenium. Ingredients: two seaweeds (Kelp and Rockweed), Citrus bioflavonoids, Spirulina, and the trace element selenium. 1.Ester-C? IT’S MORE EASILY ABSORBED – A few hours after taking Ester-C, blood levels are twice as high as they would be after regular vitamin C. Plus the loss of ascorbate by urine is a massive six-times lower. IT’S MORE BIOAVAILABLE – its high concentration of the vitamin C metabolite calcium threonate effectively increases its absorption even further (upto around 400 times quicker). IT’S SIDE-EFFECT FREE – Regular vitamin C is acidic (ascorbic acid) associated with heartburn, stomach irritation and even damage to tooth enamel. But not pH-neutralised Ester-C. IT LASTS ALL DAY – Ester-C is not only absorbed faster, it’s also retained in the body’s white blood cells for up to 24 hours. That’s anti-oxidation around the clock. BENEFITS IMMUNE BOOST- Ester-C enhances immunity by increasing ascorbic acid levels in white blood cells for up to 24 hours after the initial dose. ANTI-INFECTION- Ester-C cuts the incidence of the common cold. It also reduces the number of days of viral infection and severe symptoms. ANTI-OXIDATION- Ester-C helps strengthen cell membranes and shields the body from free-radical damage. Plus it comes with anti-inflammatory action. PRO-HEART HEALTH- Its antioxidant action has even bigger cardiovascular benefits. Ester-C protects good HDL cholesterol molecules from oxidative damage and helps to balance blood pressure levels. PRO-COLLAGEN- It promotes collagen production, which the body uses to build cartilage, bones, skin, ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, teeth and gums. PRO-HEALING- Great for maintenance and mending, Ester-C has been found to help promote wound healing and connective tissue repair. 2. Kelp and Rockweed? There is no family of foods more protective against radiation and environmental pollutants than sea vegetables. Prevents assimilation of different radionucleotides, heavy metals such as cadmium, and other environmental toxins. An easily absorbed array of essential nutrients – some of them rare. Various vitamins Minerals – they contain 10 to 20 times more minerals than land plants, including sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and trace minerals Iodine Antioxidants, like chlorophyll and carotenes Vegetable protein Fibre Amino acids Enzymes BENEFITS PRO-IMMUNITY- Sea greens are great for immune-compromised states like chronic fatigue, HIV/Aids, arthritis and allergies. They also come with anti-inflammatory effects. ANTI-INFECTION- They have antiviral, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. They help stop herpes outbreaks and give the thyroid a hand in releasing iodine into the bloodstream to fight infection. PRO-DETOXIFICATION- Both kelp and rockweed contain sodium alginate – a totally safe substance known for detoxifying effects, anti-tumour properties and a talent for counteracting nuclear radiation. Kelp also contains mucilaginous (read: gooey) compounds that help the digestive system do its detoxing and eliminating work. PRO-THYROID HEALTH- Glands like the adrenals, pituitary and thyroid all need iodine to produce hormones. And sea veggies have organic iodine in volumes. That’s what makes them great glandular balancers – particularly the production of the thyroid hormone that influences metabolism, growth and energy production. PRO-WEIGHT LOSS. Kelp improves glandular and metabolic function leading to reduced fat stores and fluid retention. 3. SPIRULINA? Spirulina has more of everything. It has three times more protein than meat, milk or eggs, 20 times more beta-carotene than carrots, 250 times more vitamin B12 than liver and around 12 times more iron than, well, anything else. PHYCOCYANIN– It puts the blue in the blue-green algae. This blue pigment acts as an immune-stimulant, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It helps prevent nerve damage, oxidation, liver disease and arthritis. Plus it’s regulates white blood cell production and stimulates bone marrow stem cells to make red blood cells – even if the bone marrow has been damaged by radiation or toxins. PROTEIN AND AMINO ACIDS– Compromised immune systems are hungry for the amino acids cysteine, glutamine and tryptophan. Spirulina serves them all, and many others. In fact, it’s 62% pure amino acids. So it’s a great source of high-quality vegan protein – with three times more protein than meat, eggs or milk. VITAMINS– Everything from vitamin A, the Bs, C, E, and H. It’s also considered the richest natural source of vitamin B12. ANTIOXIDANTS– The free-radical scavenging is done by spirulina’s chlorophyll, and carotenoids like beta-carotene beta-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin. GAMMA LINOLEIC ACID (GLA)- A fabulous fatty acid that helps reduce cholesterol levels. Spirulina has around three times more of it than evening primrose oil. TRACE ELEMENTS AND MINERALS– Among others, it’s got calcium, iron, magnesium, chromium, copper, zinc and immune-friendly selenium. BENEFITS ANTI-INFECTION. It’s been shown to work against bacteria like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and viruses like human cytomegalovirus, measles, mumps, influenza and Herpes Simplex Type I. PRO-IMMUNITY. Spirulina is very well-used in immune-deficient diseases like HIV/AIDS. It’s a clinically proven immune tool. PRO-BIOTIC. It feeds the growth of beneficial lactic-acid bacteria, which can be depleted after a course of antibiotics. 4. CITRUS BIOFLAVONOIDS? They’re found in citrus fruits like lemon, orange, tangerine and grapefruit. They have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic effects. These Boiflavonoids are essential for vitamin C absorption. BENEFITS ANTI-INFECTION, INFLAMMATION AND ALLERGIES. As far back as the 1950s citrus bioflavonoids were found to improve acute respiratory infections (like colds, flu and tonsillitis) in only eight to 48 hours. They can also help reduce inflammation, swelling and allergic reactions. PRO-HEALING. A well-known 1962 study showed that athletes who took a citrus bioflavonoid supplement seldom suffered cramps and had fewer muscle injuries than placebo takers. Plus their injuries healed twice as fast. ANTI-OXIDATION. They work synergistically with vitamin C to protect the body from free radicals. PRO-CIRCULATION. Bioflavonoids can help smooth out circulatory problems. They’ve been found to support capillaries and veins and improve chronic venous insufficiency. Plus they’re used to help treat haemorrhoids, easy bruising and high cholesterol. 5. SELENIUM? It’s a member of the trace-mineral family – meaning it’s essential for good health, but only needed. BENEFITS PRO-IMMUNITY. A study from the University of Brussels found that elderly people who took selenium daily showed a 79% improvement in immune function. And research published in The Lancet in 2000 found that HIV/AIDS patients with low selenium levels were 20 times more likely to die from an AIDS-related illness than those with healthy levels. ANTI-OXIDATION. Selenium is an essential element in enzyme production. Your body adds it to proteins to form selenoproteins – antioxidant enzymes in the task force against free-radical damage and disease. ANTI-VIRUSES. It’s been found to fight retroviruses and the H5N1 virus (bird flu to you). More impressive, higher selenium levels have been shown to help slow the replication of the HI virus and the progression of HIV to AIDS. Dosage For maintenance, take 2 tablets daily. For infection or an immune-compromised state, take 3 tablets, three times daily, or consult your health practitioner.

The Real Thing Ecklonia Cava Extract
Health Care Supplements
The super- antioxidant complex from organic ocean algae. Great for Circulation, Pain control, Metabolism, Sexual performance, Hair loss, Memory, Allergy. It does something for everything. Why Ecklonia Cava? It stays in your system. The extract is hydrophobic, meaning it’s not water-soluble, but fat-soluble. As a result it can stay in the body for up to 12 hours –water-soluble nutrients, such as vitamin C and land-based polyphenols, often only stick around for 30 minutes or so. Clearly, EC Extract works harder for longer. Plus it can cross the blood-brain barrier and have an effect in the brain. It’s got super-antioxidants. Polyphenols and phlorotannins are known families of natural antioxidants. Polyphenols are made up of multiple interconnected phenol rings – and more rings mean more electrons can be absorbed from toxic free radicals. While other known antioxidants might have two or four rings a piece, the patented marine polyphenols in EC Extract have up to 13 active rings each, and therefore way more antioxidant power. Phlorotannins on the other hand are only found in brown algae and have been shown to reduce atherosclerosis and promote cardiovascular health. Among other things. It does so much more. Super free-radical grabbing skills, coupled with 12-hour staying power make the antioxidants in this extract particularly good at helping to protect and support multiple systems. Research suggests that EC Extract is actually 10 to 100 times stronger than similar quantities of land-based polyphenols and other antioxidants – even resveratrol and green tea catechins. Plus it’s super-safe. Clinical studies have found no side-effects associated with EC Extract treatment for a range of conditions at a range of doses. Ecklonia is an all-over antioxidant complex that is great for Circulation, Pain control, Metabolism, Sexual performance, Hair loss, Memory, Allergy. How? CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH Better blood pressure. Angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ACE, is an enzyme that’s known to cause hypertension and blood vessel constriction. Ageing and vascular risk factors are known to up levels of ACE. EC Extract can suppress this enzyme and so reduce blood pressure levels as effectively as certain ACE-inhibitor drugs. Cuts blood clots. Plasmin is an enzyme that breaks down blood clots. Anti-plasmin is a protein that blocks plasmin’s action. Fortunately EC Extract has a natural anti anti-plasmin effect. That’s why it helps thin the blood and reduce clots. Lower lipid levels. Can reduce bad LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels while increasing good HDL cholesterol levels. PAIN MANAGEMENT In arthritis. In treating osteoarthritis, EC Extract has been shown to reduce pain and inhibit the inflammatory COX enzymes. GLUCOSE BALANCE Better blood glucose levels. Its anti-inflammatory effect means EC Extract can also help to stabilise glucose levels and stimulate insulin sensitivity. HAIR-LOSS Prevents hair follicle death. Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 or MMP-9 is an enzyme that’s active in hair follicle destruction and hair loss. Good news for men (and some women) is that EC Extract is thought to down-regulate MMP-9 and so preserve follicles and fuller heads of hair. ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION Better blood flow where it counts. EC Extract clearly helps improve blood pressure and circulation. That’s why it’s thought to have such a sizeable effect on penile blood flow and erectile function. ALLERGIES Reduces allergic reactions. EC Extract has been shown to reduce allergic reactions and inflammation. Fewer side-effects. Even better, EC Extract can help manage allergies without the dizziness, drowsiness and other side effects seen with anti-histamine treatment. MEMORY Better brain function. The antioxidants in EC Extract are fat-soluble and can cross the blood-brain barrier. Increased alertness. EC Extract has been shown to give professional drivers a 48% reduction in drowsiness while driving, and students an 11% drop in tiredness while studying. More memory. Acetylcholine, or Ach, is a neurotransmitter linked to memory and cognition. EC Extract can increase Ach by 40% and reduce the enzyme that breaks it down by 60% to 80%. Which will give you a better chance of remembering this fact. Dosage For maintenance, take 2 tablets daily (800mg Ecklonia Cava Extract). This can be increased to 2 tablets twice a day (1 600mg Extract), or up to a maximum dose of 3 tablets four times daily.
