The awareness of menopause symptoms has increased rapidly over recent years with more options becoming available to help women feel more confident around their menopause. However, an all-too-often overlooked issue is thyroid health which can be linked to, and even confused with menopause symptoms.

The thyroid produces key hormones that impact many aspects of health and wellness. To produce these hormones, the thyroid has to get the micro-nutrient iodine, which is only obtained through diet. Despite the essential nature of this nutrient, most women in the UK and across Europe are not getting enough.^1,2

PureSea® offers a plant-based and organic certified solution to get natural iodine, through supplementation.

As the result of a long, co-marketing project between Verdure Sciences® and LEHVOSS Nutrition, we are excited to launch our new PlantNutra® Natural Zinc from Guava!

We are always looking for ways to improve our portfolio and keep up with market trends, and what better way than to add another innovative, clean-label, sustainable, plant-based natural mineral to it. Our zinc is standardised to 2.5% from guava with tannins and polyphenols, which are naturally occurring in the fruit.

Plant-based forms of zinc are a great natural, vegetarian and vegan option which tend to be recognized by the body more easily as they are nutrients normally found in food. The inclusion of tannins and polyphenols found in guava may also offer additional antioxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Protecting our hair, skin and nails during those summer months is of great importance. Aging skin can occur rapidly due to UV rays, poor nutrition, and environmental toxins. It requires nutrients to help maintain a healthy structure and function so that it is more resilient to the aging process.

Sulphur is a critical nutrient which helps support healthy aging with its regulation of glutathione and other mechanisms in the body. Because of this, OptiMSM® can help support healthy skin, hair & nails, and play a role in the inflammatory process as it works at the molecular level to promote proper cell structure and function so that your skin stays stronger for longer.¹

PureSea® is the gold-standard seaweed ingredient, with essential nutrients that can aid sports performance and recovery.

Research has demonstrated that athletes are at a greater risk of iodine deficiency due to loss of iodine from sweat and urine, which is higher when exercising and consuming more fluids.

A study investigated the loss of iodine from the sweat of footballers. The study analysed male footballers’ sweat and urine samples that had been collected over an 8-day period. The results suggested that the average footballer lost around 52μg/L of iodine an hour.¹
