Have you heard about... Zinc

Have you heard about...  Zinc

Whilst updating our records we have noticed you have never tried our Zinc supplement. This may be because you are not fully aware of its amazing benefits.

Please read the article below to discover how this product can help you, your friends & family or members of your team.

Taking zinc supplements can lessen the severity and duration of the common cold, experts believe.

A review of the available scientific evidence suggests that taking zinc within a day of the onset of cold symptoms speeds recovery. It may also help ward off colds, say the authors of the Cochrane Systematic Review that included data from 15 trials involving 1,360 people.

"This review strengthens the evidence for zinc as a treatment for the common cold"

Adults catch between two to four colds a year, children up to ten a year, and there is little a person can do to avoid these infections because the viruses that cause colds are so commonplace. Cold viruses can be passed from person to person not only by coughs and sneezes but also by touching contaminated surfaces such as door handles.

There is no proven treatment for the common cold, but experts believe zinc medications may help prevent and lessen infections by coating the common cold viruses and stopping them from entering the body through the thin lining of the nose. And in laboratory tests, it also appears to stop the virus from replicating.

There is also the suggestion that zinc aids the immune system and may dampen down some of the unpleasant reactions the body has to an invading virus.

Speedy Recovery

Lead researcher Meenu Singh, of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, India, said: "This review strengthens the evidence for zinc as a treatment for the common cold. However, at the moment, it is still difficult to make a general recommendation, because we do not know very much about the optimum dose, formulation or length of treatment".

According to trial results, zinc supplements taken within a day of the onset of cold symptoms reduce the severity and length of illness. At seven days, more of the patients who took zinc remedies every couple of hours during the daytime had cleared their symptoms compared to those who took placebos. And children who took 15mg of zinc syrup or zinc lozenges daily for five months or longer caught fewer colds and took less time off school.

Editor in Chief of the Cochrane Library, Dvide Tovey, said "This is a treatment that is showing some promise which where treating the common cold is concerned, is unusual".

"Although there are many over the counter cold remedies already available, we are not awash with things that can stop cold symptoms or greatly reduce their severity. But there is uncertainty about the best doses, timings and formulations and more studies will be needed to look at this".

Nature's Sunshine's zinc contains 15mg of zinc per tablet, so is a perfect fit for people who would like to 'manage' their colds

Relatively large amounts are found in bone and muscle, and it's also prevalent in the prostate and retina.

Zinc is involved in sugar metabolism and seems to be easily lost from the system. Pregnant and lactating women require extra zinc. This product is derived from zinc gluconate for more efficient absorption.

For maximum benefit, it is combined in a rich, natural base of kelp plant, alfalfa herb and thyme herb.

Fibre and Grains - reduce bowel cancer risk

Eating more cereals and whole grains could reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer, a BMJ study says. Researchers from Imperial College London found that for every 10g a day increase in fibre intake, there was a 10% drop in the risk of bowel cancer.

Whole grains include foods such as whole grain breads, brown rice, cereals, oatmeal and porridge.

Dagfinn Aune, lead study author and research associate in the department of epidemiology and biostatistics at Imperial College London, said their analysis found a linear association between dietary fibre and colorectal cancer.

"The more of this fibre you eat the better it is. Even moderate amounts have some effect."

Adding three servings (90g per day) of whole grains to diets was linked to a 20% reduction in the risk of colorectal cancer, researchers said.

Cancer Research UK data shows that the lifetime risk of being diagnosed with colorectal cancer in the UK is estimated to be one in 14 (6.9%) for men, and one in 19 for women (5.4%).

"It is also likely to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, overweight and obesity, and possibly overall mortality," the researchers said.

Mark Flannagan, chief executive of Beating Bowel Cancer, said the research supported the charity's current advice.

"These results support what we already know about the link between dietary fibre and a reduced risk of bowel cancer, although more work is needed to clarify the quantity and types of fibre we should be eating to reduce risk.

"We recommend that people eat a healthy balanced diet that includes plenty of dietary fibre, such as grains, cereals, fruit and vegetables to reduce the risk of developing bowel cancer.

"It is encouraging to know that simple changes to your diet and lifestyle could help protect you from the UK's second biggest cancer killer."

EXPERTS RECOMMEND VITAMIN D - WINTER IS COMING

EXPERTS RECOMMEND VITAMIN D

  

Research revealed today recommends that "Fair-skinned people who are prone to sunburn may need to take supplements to ensure they get enough vitamin D."

Supplements are already recommended for groups at higher risk of deficiency. This includes people with dark skin, such as people of African-Caribbean and South Asian origin, and people who wear full-body coverings, as well as the elderly, young children, pregnant and breastfeeding women and people who avoid the sun.

Based on the latest findings, it appears that pale-skinned people should be added to this list.

Vitamin D 'The Sunshine Vitamin'

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin best known for its roles in preventing rickets and maintaining proper levels of calcium in the blood.  The 'Sunshine Vitamin' is generally acquired by the body in two ways - exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays and dietary intake. 

Vitamin is an important factor in the maintenance of good health, furthermore Vitamin D helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth, and the absorption and use of calcium & phosphorus.

Studies also suggest that Vitamin D may play a part in slowing the ageing process and the onset of age-related diseases.  

High Demand For Winter Months 

  

Nature's Sunshine's Vitamin D is an ideal supplement for the autumn and winter months when many of us often don't see the sun on a daily basis.

Chlorophyll is good for you

Liquid chlorophyll is one of the most underrated, yet most beneficial natural products available and might be the answer to helping you take a greater green step towards total health.

What is Chlorophyll?

In basic terms, chlorophyll is what makes plants green. Through photosynthesis, plants convert the sun’s energy into chlorophyll and then release oxygen into the atmosphere. An interesting fact, the chlorophyll molecule is chemically similar to human blood, except that its central atom is magnesium, whereas that of human blood is iron.

What the benefits of Chlorophyll?

The benefits of chlorophyll, found in both foods and liquid chlorophyll supplements are numerous. Chlorophyll is best known as a powerful anti-oxidant, cleanser, and detox with anti-inflammatory properties. It stimulates and assists in the repair and healing of damaged tissues.

 Chlorophyll is also a wonderful filter for pollutants; in fact, regular ingestion of chlorophyll has proven to be a great neutralizer of environmental pollution and would be beneficial for smokers.

 Chlorophyll is probably best known for its deodorizing benefits, reducing body odour and bad breath. Chlorophyll has also been known to fight the deposit of carcinogens in the body and is known to help in dealing with the side-effects of drugs and other toxins.

  

Nature's Sunshine Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is a good natural cleanser, it encourages proper bowel movement, helps eliminate body odour, supports a healthy liver, helps balance the pH of the body and leaves breath minty fresh. Liquid Chlorophyll makes water into a great tasting, refreshing drink that you can enjoy throughout the day. Preservative Free - Liquid Chlorophyll has a paraben-free formula that uses all-natural vegetable source glycerine. Glycerine is not a true preservative, but a stabilising component that acts to inhibit the growth of microbes. All Nature's Sunshine products are manufactured to the highest standards in the world. Nature's Sunshine uses over 300 quality control tests and manufacture to pharmaceutical standards. All products are made from 100% organic or wildcrafted ingredients.
