Understanding the different sources of iodine is key to reaping its nutritional benefits. Iodine is an essential nutrient in the diet, and one that is increasingly lacking globally. A report from the Iodine Global Network cites an EU funded project that concludes “Europe is an iodine deficient continent”.¹

PureSea® gold-standard seaweed, offered through LEHVOSS Nutrition, is an ideal natural source of iodine and provides numerous approved health claims linked to the source of essential iodine. Independent clinical trials have shown that synthetic potassium iodide releases iodine into the system quickly, resulting in a spike in iodine levels. By contrast, natural foods like seaweed have iodine bound into fibres, allowing it to be broken down and released more slowly. It is believed that, a more consistent, sustained release of iodine is beneficial as it allows your body to absorb and utilise the iodine more efficiently.

A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study was conducted on 18 healthy males and females (aged 25-55 years old) over a 4 week period. Each subject was given a 250mg capsule of Pomella® containing 75mg of punicalagin per capsule and an oral placebo daily. Results showed a significant improvement in multiple markers associated with visible wrinkles and moisture in a healthy population. Plus the impact to specific skin health bacteria strains and skin elasticity improvement and, strong evidence supporting the skin-gut axis. Click here to read full details of the study.

Greenshell Mussel Powder has gained an excellent reputation in the joint-care market place over the last 20 years but, a recent article written by Professor Alexander Tups from Department of Physiology and Centre for Neuroendocrinology, University of Otago, explains how some commercially available, green-lipped mussel products are a defatted version of whole, green-lipped mussel powder in which the oil (rich in omega 3 fatty acids) is extracted for human consumption.

According to his knowledge these ingredients, even if offered at a more attractive price,  do not contain high quantities of the bioactive fatty acids and have not been extensively tested and validated in veterinary or human trials.

Knowing exactly where to buy from is key and we can ensure this at LEHVOSS Nutrition.

The days getting shorter and the changes in sunlight duration can cause our hair to look less shiny and feel drier and more brittle.  In addition, the cold weather can also damage our hair causing breakage and split ends.  The cooler temperatures cause our nails to feel thinner, more breakable, and appear duller than during the summer months.

According to research, OptiMSM® when taken regularly over an extended period of time, will deliver strong, shiny, healthy nails as well as improving the condition of our hair and skin. 

Recent studies have shown that there were significant improvements in the shine of hair and nails when participants had taken this for 4 weeks, you can see the details of this study here.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Working to lower consumption of saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids, and increasing the consumption and proportion of plant oils rich in unsaturated fats like mono and polyunsaturated fats, have been a cornerstone of worldwide dietary guidelines.^1,2

Recent research on chia oil found a higher intake of ALA reduces the risk of ischemic heart disease (also called coronary heart disease) and is significantly associated with a lower risk of CVD and CHD mortality. Additionally ALA reduces the risk of ventricular arrhythmia by more than 25%, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, and is associated with lower inflammation, as measured by inflammatory biomarkers.
