NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

With today's hectic lifestyles, an increasing number of women are choosing to supplement their diets with additional nutrients. Scientific research has shown this to be even more important as we get older and the body's nutritional requirements increase.

As we age, we are generally more at risk of suffering loss of bone density or osteoporosis. The most abundant nutrients in bone are calcium & magnesium, but bones also need vitamins D & K, as well as minerals zinc and boron for structure.

The brain and nervous system are very complex and are particularly susceptible to degenerative conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Antioxidant nutrients such as Vitamins A, C, E, Selenium and zinc play an important role in the protection of brain and nerve cells & the B-complex vitamins help to promote optimal nerve and brain function.

Around the time of menopause, hormone production is reduced, but some women find isoflavones, which are classed as phytoestrogens(plant copies of oestrogen) supportive.

A healthy immune system is vital if general ill-health and disease are to avoided. Antioxidants and vitamin D are particularly important for the proper functioning of the immune system.

Research has shown an increased risk of developing diabetes later in life. Controlling blood sugar levels is therefore vital in trying to prevent this disease. The mineral chronium works with insulin to regulate blood sugar levels and aids in the proper metabolism of carbohydrates.

Lutein is found in high concentrations in the macular within the eye. Low levels of this carotenoid have been observed in those who suffer with Age Related Macular Degeneration.

Garlic; The latest weapon in the fight against superbug

Did you think garlic could only be used to ward off vampires?

Think again, as research company Allicin International Ltd has an exciting and new innovation that could combat superbugs such as MRSA, which has been cited many times in the media as being responsible for increasing numbers of deaths in hospitals.

In 1999, Allicin International managed to develop a stabilised extract of allicin from fresh garlic which is then dried to form a powder known as Allicinmax.

The stabilising process ensures that the active ingredient can be distributed by the body to where it is needed most.

Allicinmax is the only one which actually contains allicin in its stabilised form. Research carried out by Dr Ron Cutler of Queen Mary University of London, supports the claim that allicin can in fact combat MRSA & other secondary infections which can be contracted whilst in hospital.

Using samples of the MRSA bacteria in his laboratories, Dr Cutler and his team successfully used allicin to eradicate any trace of the infection. This news has spread throughout the world, and Allicinmax is now available & used in 15 countries.

You can buy it at Little London Herbal Stores, 9 Kings Walk, Nottingham, NG1 2AE or at allinmax.com
