We know taking care of a senior pet can be challenging at times, especially if they are in pain. Luckily, the correct dosage of MSM has been shown in studies to help relieve hip and joint pain in pets. This organic compound has traditionally been used in humans, and now it can be used to keep your pet in great health as well.
As your pets age, the natural degeneration of the muscles and joints can result in pain, stiffness, and a reduced quality of life. It’s no secret that every move our dog makes relies on healthy joints. As dogs age, cartilage begins to break down, causing joint damage and putting pressure on surrounding bones.

Iodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, meaning that inadequate intake can result in hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid). Hypothyroidism can subsequently result in adverse effects on female fertility, by impairing the developmental process of ovarian follicles and ovulation.1
Finding natural solutions to the increasing prevalence of iodine deficiency that can suit all dietary needs and improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes is of vital importance. One of the most natural solutions is through the use of PureSea® gold-standard seaweed ingredients in food supplements to provide a natural, plant-based source of iodine.

A new independent analysis compared PureSea® with white kidney bean extract (WKBE) in a model gut system. The study aimed to establish whether PureSea® was more effective at inhibiting amylase activity than other leading ingredients in the market. Scientific research has shown that white kidney bean extract can be effective at reducing amylase activity, which has led this ingredient to have a strong positioning within the ‘carbohydrate-blocker’ market.
The comparison of WKBE and PureSea® in an amylase activity assay found the rate of amylase inhibition by PureSea® to be over 5 times higher than that of WKBE. Furthermore, dose response data demonstrated that PureSea® was significantly more effective at reducing amylase activity than WKBE from concentrations of 1.25mg/ml to 10.0mg/ml.
These findings indicate that PureSea® could be a more effective choice than WKBE at inhibiting carbohydrate breakdown and reducing the rate at which sugar is released into the blood and opens opportunities for further clinical trials.

PureSea® delivers natural health and wellness through gold-standard sustainable seaweed and its natural iodine levels also show beneficial effects for energy-yielding metabolism, with a small inclusion allowing for an EFSA approved health claim.

Ellagic acid is a natural phenol found in numerous fruits and vegetables. Most of the pomegranate extracts commercially available on the market are standardized to ellagic acid. So why is Pomella® standardized to Punicalagins?
Punicalagins are the primarily natural antioxidants of the pomegranate fruit. They are water-soluble, highly bioavailable, and supported by safety data. They are shown to possess a high absorption rate of up to 95%.
Not only do punicalagins offer a powerful kick of antioxidant properties on their own; they can breakup into smaller polyphenols, gut-derived metabolites known as urolithins, which are absorbed into the body and extensively metabolized. Consumption of ellagitannins can lead to the presence of urolithins for up to 7 days!1 Furthermore, the symbiotic relationship between these phenolic compounds and gut microbiota have gained much attention due to their relevance to bioavailability and human health.

HAPLEX®Plus is a high purity, food grade Sodium Hyaluronate (HA) with two different options, low and high molecular weight, scientifically researched to nourish skin and support joint and bone health.
Multiple studies on HAPLEX®Plus demonstrate the positive improvements in skin elasticity, degenerative osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. As we age, the cells metabolism slows down and hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesis in our body decreases. As a result, there is not enough water in the collagenous fibre and elastic fibre of the skin and therefore wrinkles appear. Furthermore, because of the loss of HA within the synovial fluid of joints, it can lead to osteoarthritis. The synthesis and degradation of HA in the body is a dynamic balanced process. Therefore Haplex®Plus is a pure, validated source of HA that supports a healthy and happy aging.

Taking control of the menopause in a natural and healthy way can be achieved through a wide range of nutrients, one of which is PureSea®, gold-standard, seaweed. This provides natural iodine which may help with various symptoms associated with all stages of the menopause.
Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) is a condition in which the thyroid gland is unable to produce the thyroid hormones required for normal health. The group most at risk of this is middle-aged women – it is at this age that women may also start to go through the menopause.
This often leads to misdiagnosis since hypothyroidism and the menopause share some similar symptoms.
