    Absolute Omega ** This product has been discontinued however there is a new improved product that is fantastic - simply send us an email and we will send you some information on it ***60 softgel capsules (enteric coated)Absolute Omega contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids sourced from quality fish oil. These omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties, help maintain and support a healthy heart and cardiovascular system, and are essential for normal brain and eye function.IntroductionAbsolute Omega contains high levels of the two fatty acids found in fish oil that are important to health: EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These fatty acids are necessary for all cells to work properly and are essential for the function, growth and development of many body systems including the brain, eyes and heart.EPA and DHA have an anti-inflammatory action, helping to reduce pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. They help to assist normal heart and cardiovascular function by helping to maintain the flexibility of blood vessels, promoting healthy blood flow and supporting healthy blood fat (triglyceride) levels.Under stringent manufacturing and purity regulations we have produced this highly concentrated, high quality fish oil product—Absolute Omega. We recommend Absolute Omega as part of everyone’s daily supplement plan.Key Features and Benefits•May help to increase joint mobility, and reduce inflammation, tenderness and joint swelling associated with arthritis.•May help to support healthy heart and cardiovascular function.•Supports healthy fat (triglyceride) levels in the blood and helps maintain blood flow.•Essential for the normal development and functioning of the eyes and brain.•A highly concentrated product providing greater levels of omega-3 fatty acids compared to standard supplements.

Use only as directed.•Consult your pharmacist when taking supplements with pharmaceutical medications. Certain nutrients enhance the way some medicines work, and help make other medicines safer. Please ask your pharmacist for further information Frequently Asked QuestionsI have heard there are risks of heavy metal contamination with fish oils. How can I be sure that Absolute Omega is free of these toxins?Heavy metals, such as mercury, are concentrated in larger predatory fish, such as swordfish and shark. Exposure of mercury by humans is through the consumption of these fish. However, fish oil contains negligible levels of mercury because mercury is water-soluble and protein bound. This means mercury concentrates in the flesh and watery parts of the fish, not the oil.17To provide further reassurance Absolute Omega is sourced from small fish such as anchovy, sardines, and mackerel from clean oceans. All batches of Absolute Omega are tested against the highest standards in the world for freshness, heavy metals and pesticide residues. No batch is released without complying or exceeding these purity standards.With Absolute Omega you are assured purity and quality.I always get a ‘fishy aftertaste’ with fish oils. Will Absolute Omega do the same thing?No, Absolute Omega has a coating on the outside of th... » read more
     
  • CHONDROSAMINE plus MSM 250 grams of Oral Powder (RRP55.64) Todays Price $50.00

    Chondrosamine® Plus MSM 250g Nutritional Support for Healthy Joints Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate support the maintenance of healthy joints through their role in the synthesis of joint matrix structural components. Along with methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), vitamin C and trace minerals provide nutritional support for connective tissue. Arthritis is characterised by joint inflammation and cartilage tissue breakdown. Osteoarthritis is caused by the degeneration of cartilage. Cartilage has a gel-like nature and protects the ends of the joints in the body by acting as a shock absorber. Without cartilage in the joint, bone literally rubs against bone leading to inflammation, pain, deformity, and limitation of movement in the joint. Glucosamine sulfate provides nutritional support for the metabolism and repair of joints and cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan which is a fundamental component of cartilage and other connective tissue. MSM is a natural source of sulfur which has many structural and functional roles in the body. It is required for healthy development and maintenance of connective tissue and is a component of the antioxidant compounds N-acetylcysteine and glutathione. Vitamin C and minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and zinc provide additional nutritional support for healthy connective tissue and bone mineralisation. Key Features and Benefits •May provide symptomatic relief of joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. •May help to reduce joint swelling associated with arthritis. •May help to increase joint mobility. •May assist in the management of osteoarthritis. •May help to slow the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee. Product Formula Each Dose (6g) Contains: Glucosamine sulfate-potassium chloride complex 1g equiv. glucosamine sulfate 750mg Dimethyl sulfone (methylsulfonylmethane - MSM) 750mg Chondroitin sulfate 250mg Vitamins: Calcium ascorbate 329mg equiv. ascorbic acid (vitamin C) 272mg Minerals: Magnesium (as aspartate) 13.2mg Potassium (as aspartate) 36.3mg Zinc (as amino acid chelate) 5mg Manganese (as amino acid chelate) 1.5mg Copper (as gluconate) 500ug Nutrients: Hesperidin 150mg Directions for Use Adults: Mix 1 to 2 scoops (1 scoop = 6g) into 200 mL of water or juice.

If you have kidney disease or are taking heart or blood pressure medications – consult your pharmacist or doctor before use. •If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare professional. •The use of glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate and MSM during pregnancy and lactation has not been scientifically evaluated. •Certain nutrients have been found to enhance the way some medications work and help make other medications safer. Please consult your pharmacist for further information. •Contraindicated in patients with shellfish allergy. Frequently Asked Questions Is it safe for me to take supplements with my current medications? In many cases it is safe to combine nutritional supplements with pharmaceutical medications; however, there are always exceptions. Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional before adding a supplement to an existing regime. I’m vegetarian. Is Chondrosamine® Plus MSM suitable for me? Glucosamine is derived from the exoskeletons of shellfish such as prawns, lobsters and crabs, while the chondroitin is derived from shark cartilage. Therefore Chondrosamine® Plus MSM is not suitable for vegetarians.
