Blackmores
Bio Iron
Many people around the world don't obtain enough iron from their diets. Women in particular may benefit from extra support to boost their daily iron intake, as they require iron in greater quantities than men do. Bio Iron is specially formulated to provide a variety of vitamins and nutrients to support women's optimal iron intake.
Adequate iron intake supports cellular oxygenation and energy production, and helps maintain the body's energy levels and immune function. Blackmores Bio Iron contains ferrous fumarate; a gentle form of iron which when used as directed should not cause gastric irritation or constipation.
Vitamin C is included to support optimal uptake of iron. Vitamin B12 supports the functioning of enzymes in amino acid, fatty acid, and nucleic acid metabolism, and the metabolism of folic acid. Pregnant women may particularly benefit fromt the extra nutritional support of Blackmores Bio Iron, since foetal formation increases the mother's need for folic acid.
Supplementation of folic acid is recommended for at least one month prior to conception and for the duration of the pregnancy to support the healthy development of baby's nervous system. Additionally, folic acid (along with vitamin B6 and B12), supports the body's metabolism of the amino acid homocysteine.
Back Formula
NEW Blackmores Back Formula provides a natural approach for back discomfort. It contains a research-based extract of herb devil's claw that may help to relieve lower back discomfort. It can also help with muscular tension and stiffness, and is suitable for daily use.
Devil’s Claw is native to eastern and southern Africa and is traditionally used to support tension & stiffness. Blackmores has used a premium extract of Devil’s Claw in its Back Formula which supports relaxation and recovery for tense and stiff muscles in the back, neck and shoulders.
Back stiffness can be related to postural issues such as standing in a slumped position, sitting hunched over a computer or steering wheel, or sleeping on a mattress that is too soft. Over time, poor posture causes tension in the bands of muscle surrounding the spine (particularly in the curve of the lower back). Those whose job involves a lot of walking or physical labour develop good muscle tone in their backs and legs. People who sit most of the day lose that muscle tone, and their backs are the first place to show it.
Exercise regularly to improve your muscular strength, ensure your work station and your vehicle are correctly adjusted for good posture, treat sports injuries and strains promptly and, if need be, consult a remedial body therapist for professional help.
Executive B
A combination of vitamins, minerals and herbs which are beneficial in times of ongoing stress. In a three-month clinical trial, Executive B Stress Formula was evaluated for the management of work-related personal strain and was shown to decrease anger and hostile moods associated with stress.
The human body has increased requirements for vitamins (especially the B group) and minerals during periods of increased stress. During stress, nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin B5, zinc and magnesium are important for supporting adrenal function. Vitamin B5 has long been considered the 'anti-stress' vitamin because of its central role in adrenal function and cellular metabolism.
Some of the B group vitamins, such as folic acid, Inositol and vitamin B6, are involved in the manufacture and action of mood enhancing hormones such as serotonin.
Magnesium phosphate and calcium phosphate have been used for nervous tension and anxiety. Potassium phosphate is indicated for low nervous energy, lethargy, lack of drive and motivation.
The herb passionflower, and oats, traditionally have a mild sedative action. Passionflower is indicated for nervous tension.

Nura-Life
Magnesium Complete Capsules
An advanced broad-spectrum Magnesium supplement providing 300mg of elemental magnesium from Aspartate, Orotate, Chelate, Phosphate and Oxide forms of Magnesium.
Magnesium is an important mineral and is one of the four minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium) needed for muscular and nerve response functions within the body.
Low levels of Magnesium may be associated with muscle tremors, cramps and other problems and it is an essential co-factor in the functions of the Vitamin B complex, growth, energy and protein metabolism.
Co-Q Max Heart Health Formula
Nutra-Life Co-Q Max provides 150mg of co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10), (Ubidecarenone/Ubiquinone), an important intracellular enzyme essential for the formation of ATP, (Adenosine Triphosphate), the primary donor of energy to the cell.
Co-enzyme Q10 is found in every cell in the body, and is highly concentrated in the heart muscles.
A nutritional deficiency of co-enzyme Q10 can affect muscle status, circulation, cardiovascular health, blood pressure and severely deplete the immune system.
Ester C
Ester C, a patented form of Vitamin C, is the most bioavailable form developed. Metabolites in Ester C¨ help the vitamin get into cells more efficiently.
Ester C¨ is absorbed into the blood stream faster and is held in the body longer than ordinary Vitamin C, making it more effective than other Vitamin Cs. It is non-acidic (pH7).
It is patented and scientifically supported.
Wagner
Ester C
Ester- C is a unique form of Vitamin C prepared from Calcium Ascorbate and containing natural metabolites of Vitamin C that form in the body as part of the metabolism of high doses of Vitamin C.
It is the presence of these special metabolites in Wagner Ester C, which are the key to enhancing blood levels and tissue concentration of Vitamin C.
When Vitamin C is metabolised (processed) in the body, it undergoes transformation into secondary compounds (metabolites). Scientific studies show that the natural Vitamin C metabolites found in Ester-C are absorbed into the bloodstream twice as fast and are retained in the body twice as long, compared to ordinary Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid).
It is these natural metabolites that make Ester-C different to other Vitamin C supplements and offer the unique benefits to health and wellbeing.
Ester-C contains a significant level of Calcium Threonate. Research shows that threonate and other metabolites profoundly influence cellular Vitamin C uptake and utilization acting as an intracellular door opener, allowing Vitamin C to enter the cell. This makes Ester C highly bioavailable[1] . Research also confirms that Ester C is absorbed twice as fast into the bloodstream and is held in the body twice as long as ordinary Vitamin C[2] .
