Thomas - Artisan Raw Greek Wild Thyme Honey 1kg (Raw, Organic, Runny)
£27.99
Description
Thomas' raw thyme honey is another beautiful raw honey from our Greek beekeeper, Thomas and his family. It has a mild and grassy foretaste like dry mountain herbs (You can really taste the thyme!), breaking into a large, fruity flavour similar to sweet and sour summer fruits such as raspberries and red currants, then dissipating quickly to a mild and clean finish. Very slight overnotes of the soft sweetness of fennel or aniseed without the strong flavour of liquorice. Strong hints of Greek mountain tea (Ironwort or Shepherd's tea).
The aroma is mellow and caramel sweet, and the mouthfeel is thick and almost oily, similar to sunflower honey.
You can see the bits in this honey - only very coarsely filtered.
Colour: This particular honey is a very light sandy brown and not transparent like other varieties.
Where does the honey come from? This variety of thyme honey comes from the mountains on the island of Euboea on the more barren slopes of the mountains that run down the centre of the island.
Who produces the honey? This thyme honey comes from Thomas' father Giorgios and uncle Kostas. They are a family of traditional Greek beekeepers.
What about the plant the honey comes from? It comes from bees feeding on the small flowers of the thyme plant. The thyme plant is an evergreen herb with many culinary, medicinal and ornamental uses. It tends to be found at higher altitudes as a perennial bush, it is harvested and used fresh, dried and even the oil extracted for use as a medicine.Common Uses: Thyme honey is particularly good to use on the skin to exfoliate or help clear acne and blemishes. It is also very versatile, and can be used in recipes such as salads, an accompaniment with cheeses, as a glaze for meat and it's beautiful in a light herbal tea.
Thyme Honey Facts: Thyme honey is a favourite among many cultures, especially those of the Mediterranean and Middle East. The herb is widely used in cooking and traditional cures so naturally the honey is widely popular too.
Please know that raw honey does crystalise and this is a natural process that occurs mainly due to the natural glucose in raw honey.

About Propolis:
Propolis (bee glue) is a resinous mixture that honey bees produce by mixing their own enzymes and beeswax with sap and resin gathered from tree buds, sap flows, or other sources. Propolis is believed to be antibacterial, to prevent diseases and parasites from entering the hive and to inhibit fungal growth.
The composition of propolis varies from hive to hive and season to season. Normally, it is dark brown in colour. "Typical" northern temperate propolis has approximately 150 constituents, primarily resins and vegetable balsams (50%), waxes (30%), essential oils (10%), and pollen (5%). Propolis also contains persistent lipophilic acaricides, a natural pesticide that deters mite infestations. Other flavonoids commonly present include galangin and pinocembrin.
Propolis is being researched for the potential development of new drugs focusing on a variety of its properties, including those for possible immunomodulatory, anti-diabetic and anti-ulcer applications.
Storage: Before use, keep in a cool, dry place, not in direct sunlight.

KD Ultra 90caps (Arthur Andrew Medical)
£48.00
KD Ultra combines vegan-sourced Vitamin D3, a full-spectrum blend of Vitamin K, and the enzyme lipase to support strong bones, cardiovascular health and immune function.
Vitamins K and D have a synergistic relationship that promotes strong bones and cardiovascular health. If you don’t include both in your supplement routine, you could be missing out! According to a research study, health professionals increased testing for Vitamin D sevenfold between 2008 and 2013, and it’s thought that over 1 billion people are deficient in this vital nutrient. In addition, adequate vitamin K is actually necessary to get the health benefits we’ve all come to know about vitamin D.
That’s why we formulated KD Ultra to include everything you need for broad-spectrum benefits in a single supplement.
KD Ultra combines 2500 IUs of vegan Vitamin D3 with a fullspectrum blend of the available Vitamin K2 chains (referred to as menaquinones) MK4, MK6, MK7 and MK 9 (MKs) as well as Vitamin K1 for the ultimate health benefits of each component.
However, because Vitamins D and K are fat-soluble (meaning they dissolve in fat), we added the enzyme [lipase] to break down ingested fats, allowing your body to properly release the vitamins from fat and absorb them efficiently. That means no more missing out on all the perks of taking your vitamins!
BONE AND JOINT
Everyone knows the importance of calcium for healthy bones, but how important are Vitamins K and D?
There are many factors that can impact the bone health of millions of American adults, which can lead to fragile bones and high fracture risk. Vitamin K2 plays an essential role in overall bone health through its involvement in the production of bone proteins. One such protein is osteocalcin (OC), a Vitamin K-dependent protein (VKPD) produced during bone formation by specialized bone cells called osteoblasts. VKDPs are involved in blood coagulation, bone metabolism, and prevention of blood vessel hardening. OC depends on Vitamin K for a vital chemical modification called carboxylation. Low Vitamin K intake results in inadequate levels of carboxylated OC, which is linked to decreased bone health and density.
Vitamin D is essential for strong bones as well because it helps the body use calcium from diet and supplementation appropriately. Low levels of Vitamin D have been associated with soft and brittle bones and are likely due to the fact that without D, the body can only absorb between 10-15% of its dietary calcium. Adequate levels of Vitamin D help the body with calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function.
HEART HEALTH
The Importance of Vitamin K2 in Cardiovascular Health
Vitamin K2s various menaquinones (MKs) may also play an essential role in cardiovascular health. The buildup of calcium in blood vessel walls, known as calcification, reduces their flexibility and increases the risk of cardiovascular complications. Matrix Gla-protein (MGP), a critical VitaminK-dependent protein, helps prevent calcium buildup in blood vessels. However, MGP relies on Vitamin K to function properly. Thus, adequate Vitamin K intake is essential for supporting MGP function and its resulting impact on vascular and cardiovascular health. A high intake of Vitamin K is associated with reduced blood vessel calcification and a reduced risk of cardiovascular issues. Accordingly, a high intake of MKs, particularly MK7 and MK9, is thought to protect the heart. MK7 is also specifically associated with decreased blood vessel stiffness.
Studies have suggested other potential roles of MKs, as Vitamin K is a crucial component in proper blood clotting. Without enough Vitamin K, excessive bleeding can occur, particularly during injury or surgery. Anticoagulants such as warfarin block the activity of Vitamin K, so individuals taking these medications need to maintain consistent Vitamin K intake through diet or supplement use. Current research suggests that long-chain MKs such as MK7 have a more significant impact on normal blood coagulation than K1 or MK4, while MK4 is thought to be superior for bone health. Therefore, a full-spectrum Vitamin K product is important, as not all Vitamin K is created equally.
IMMUNE
Essential Vitamins for Effective Immune System Support
Vitamin D is often overlooked when it comes to its effects on the immune system. This is largely due to the fact that most people think they have adequate levels under the assumption that they are getting it through sunlight. Although Vitamin D can be obtained naturally through sun exposure, several factors make it challenging to get enough of this vital nutrient from the sun alone. Season, time of day, day length, cloud cover, smog, shade, sunblock, and geographic region all impact UVB exposure and the potential for Vitamin D production. Age and skin color also impact Vitamin D production; dark-skinned individuals produce less Vitamin D than their light-skinned counterparts. Additionally, the skin of older adults does not produce as much Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight as skin in younger people. Due to these numerous issues, over 40% of people are thought to be deficient in Vitamin D.
Cod liver oil, a rich source of Vitamin D, has been widely utilized for centuries to increase protection from infections. It is also thought to be the reason why Scandinavian countries have a very low incidence of Vitamin D deficiency despite the fact that they are located in very high latitudes where the sun is less able to provide the proper UVB rays for natural Vitamin D production. Studies have demonstrated that those with healthy Vitamin D levels had a lesser instance of respiratory infections than those with sufficient levels, even after adjusting for variables such as gender, age, season and race.
Vitamin D is not very prevalent in foods outside of seafood and dairy products (and dairy products are fortified with D2 (more on that below), so the vitamin D is not even naturally occurring), and until recently was not available from a plant source. KD Ultra offers a broad-spectrum Vitamin K2 blend as well as 2,500 IUs of vegan-friendly sourced D3 per capsule.
INGREDIENTS
Vitamin D3
Our formula includes vegan vitamin D3 (the natural form produced by the skin upon exposure to sunlight) from reindeer lichen. Vitamin D regulates calcium and phosphorous levels to form and maintain strong bones. It also plays a role in calcium absorption, bone health, immunity, muscular function and inflammation.
What is the difference between vitamin D2 and vitamin D3?
These two forms of Vitamin D were thought to be equivalent, however, that is far from the truth. Vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, is inexpensive to produce and almost always what is found in forti-fied foods. It is actually less potent and has a shorter duration of action than its Vitamin D3 counterpart known as cholecalciferol.
What are lichens you ask?
Lichens are naturally occurring organisms found throughout the world and can best be described as a fungi-algae sandwich, two different organisms that live together as one. The fungi actually protect the algae which allows lichens to grow in some of the most extreme environments the world can offer.
A majority of supplemental Vitamin D3 is chemically stripped from lanolin, a yellow waxy oil found in sheep’s wool and then irradiated to produce D3. KD Ultra uses a naturally derived D3 from lichen, a much cleaner and natural form of this vital nutrient.
Vitamin K
Vitamin K comes in many forms and is essential for proper Vitamin D utilization. Our formula includes Vitamin K1 as well as all available supplemental forms of Vitamin K2 (MK4, MK6, MK7 and MK9) for full-spectrum health benefits. Vitamin K supports proper blood clotting, strong bones and reduced blood vessel calcification for improved cardiovascular health.
Lipase
Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down lipids (fats) and fat-soluble vitamins. Without enough lipase, fats cannot be fully broken down and properly absorbed by the body. This may limit the benefits you expect to get from taking your vitamins. Lipase is essential for complete vitamin assimilation, which is why we have included it in our proprietary formula.

FAQS
How do vitamins K and D work together to provide health benefits?
Vitamin D has been found to support bone heath and a well-functioning cardiovascular system. But to get the greatest results from taking Vitamin D, you also need Vitamin K.
Vitamin D promotes the production of Vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs), which serve essential roles in bone growth and the vascular system. Vitamin K is necessary for carboxylation, a chemical alteration, of two specific VKDPs: osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein (MGP).
According to the International Journal of Endocrinology, carboxylation of MGP helps to mitigate calcium buildup in blood vessels, supporting a healthy cardiovascular system. Osteocalcin carboxylation supports bone density, a key factor in minimizing the likelihood of future bone issues.
Studies have also shown that taking Vitamins D and K together results in lower levels of uncarboxylated osteocalcin and increased bone density. This demonstrates that the Vitamin D-K duo are more effective in supporting bone health than supplementing with Vitamin K alone.
To ensure bioavailability of both Vitamins D and K, your body needs enough of the enzyme lipase to properly assimilate these fat-soluble vitamins. Thankfully, KD Ultra contains it all!
What are the different forms of vitamin K2 in KD Ultra?
Vitamin K2 refers to a group of compounds known scientifically as menaquinones (MKs). Several different forms of Vitamin K2 exist, ranging from MK4 to MK13, and each provides unique health benefits. Think of these similar to the different variations of B vitamins, where each vitamin has a different function within the body and the complete complex is important for optimal health.
The number following the MK refers to the length of the “chain” in its chemical composition (e.g. MK4 is a 4-chain K2). MK4 is most commonly found in the Western diet while high levels of MK7 are found in the Japanese food natto.
KD Ultra includes all four of the currently available supplemental forms of Vitamin K2: MK4, MK6, MK7 and MK9.
As if K2 needed to be further complicated, two variations of MK7 (isomers) exist and are known as Trans and Cis. The isomer is basically just the shape of the molecule and impacts the absorbability within the body (among other things). Trans MK7 is what is found in foods and nature, while Cis is not found in nature and may not offer any of the benefits of Trans MK7. KD Ultra contains all-Trans MK7.
Why do I need to take Vitamin D, don’t I get it from the sun?
Although Vitamin D can be obtained naturally through sunlight exposure, several factors make it challenging to get enough from the sun alone. Season, time of day, day length, cloud cover, smog, shade, and geographic region all impact UVB exposure and the potential for Vitamin D production. Age and skin color also impact Vitamin D production. The skin of older adults does not produce as much Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight as skin in younger people. Also, the kidneys are less capable of converting Vitamin D into its active form as people age. Individuals with dark skin have a lower ability to produce Vitamin D from the sun due to higher melanin levels in the skin, which blocks UVB absorption. In addition, due to the risk of skin cancer, daily sunscreen use and protective clothing are recommended by dermatologists, both of which block UVB exposure and limit Vitamin D production.
Does KD Ultra support dental health?
It has been shown that Vitamin K2 plays a key role in the development and maintenance of healthy tooth enamel and the immune response within dentin. Without K2, calcium cannot be adequately processed in our bodies, and that includes both bones and teeth. Additionally, Vitamin D3 aids in the absorption of calcium throughout the body.
Is KD Ultra safe to use in combination with prescription blood-thinning medications?
You should always check with your healthcare provider prior to taking any new dietary supplements in combination with a prescription. However, KD Ultra contains Vitamin K, and since many prescription medications for blood-thinning are designed to block Vitamin K activity, it is imperative you speak with the prescribing physician prior to taking KD Ultra if you are prescribed these types of medications.
Is KD Ultra Kosher?
The formula is Kosher, and a copy of the certification is available by request .
Is KD Ultra vegan friendly?
The formula is vegetarian and vegan in accordance with the guidelines of the AMERICAN VEGETAR-IAN ASSOCIATION.

It is a terrific toning oil for caring of the skin’s connective tissue, muscle-melting massages, aiding athlete’s feet, and stimulating sluggish skin areas.
Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) Essential Oil – Patchouli is well known as a fragrant oil often associated with the ‘hippie movement’ that began in North America in the 1960s. As natural as the 1960’s movement was, the patchouli of that era was often synthetic. Pure patchouli is actually more sacred and ancient than one might realize, having been used as a natural deodorant and skin tonic throughout Asia for hundreds of years. Patchouli is used to regulate sweat, absorb excess oil, and soothe skin. Passionate patchouli has the added bonus of being an aromatic attractant.

Description:
1 – 17.6oz canister of Vanilla Collagen Protein
Bulletproof™ Vanilla Collagen Protein makes it easy to get the same vital amino acids found in bone broth without the time-consuming preparation.
Why Add Extra Collagen to Your Diet?
Traditionally, collagen used to make its way into peoples’ diets through foods like bone broths, slow-cooked organ meats, kidney pies, baked beef hearts, whole crustaceans, and whole-fish soups and stews…
However, unless a person is routinely eating these types of meals, chances are the body is barely getting any naturally occurring collagen protein at all.
Bulletproof™ Vanilla Collagen Protein is naturally sweet and great in smoothies, yet so tasty you’ll also love it mixed with water. Looking for inspiration in the kitchen? Try blending Vanilla Collagen Protein into Bulletproof® Coffee for a delicious vanilla collagen latte. Plus, it’s made with Bulletproof XCT® oil, so it’s also a satisfying way to add high-energy fats to your diet.
While collagen can help the body build or maintain muscle and aid recovery post-workout, you don’t have to pump iron to experience the benefits. In fact, most people enjoy collagen for its other perks including…
Promoting resilient, flexible joints
Supporting hair growth
Reducing wrinkles and stretch marks
Upgrading skin with a radiant, healthy ‘glow’
Stir up a glass before the gym, after the gym, instead of the gym – hey, it’s up to you.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is the largest and most abundant protein in the body, making up about 30 to 35% of the total protein. Collagen is in every tissue of the body and is the connective tissue in structures such as skin, hair, nails, bones, lungs, heart and liver. It is often referred to as the glue that holds the body together.
Collagen contains glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, the three amino acids the body uses to manufacture its own collagen.
What does collagen do, exactly?
1) Smoother, more hydrated skin
Skin and connective tissue contain special cells called fibroblasts that manufacture collagen. They can crank it out as long as they have plenty of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. The best way to get those amino acids is hydrolyzed collagen, which has been broken down so it’s more bioavailable.
Hydrolyzed collagen:
Improves skin elasticity.
Decreases skin cracking.
Helps smooth out wrinkles.
Increases fibroblast density, a marker of healthy, elastic skin.
Increases skin moisture.
2) Stronger joints
Collagen can also strengthen joints, increasing their resilience. Several studies have found that taking hydrolyzed collagen decreases joint pain after exercise and makes joints more flexible.
Collagen is also a great hack for endurance athletes, particularly if the preferred exercise is tough on joints. Long-distance running is the worst offender. Most sports take their toll, as can heavy lifting.
3) Faster recovery
Collagen is the main protein the body recruits to help build everything from the connective tissue in skin to the tendons that attach muscles to bone. It works well for several reasons:
Collagen forms a flexible matrix, covering new tissue while still allowing it to move. It acts as a sort of scaffold that holds everything together so other cells can rebuild.
It helps keep tissue clean.
It can assimilate with surrounding tissue, helping to bring pieces of tissue together.
The body’s collagen needs go up when injured. If recovering from something, try taking 10g of collagen or Collagelatin™ 2-3 times per day.
What are the Differences Between Collagen, Whey & Collagelatin?
One of the biggest differences between collagen and whey is in the amino acids. Collagen is higher in glycine – an amino acid that combines with glutamine and cysteine (found in whey and other protein sources) to support the production of glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant. Although collagen has an incomplete amino acid profile, the amino acids it does provide fill in the gaps commonly seen in dietary protein and protein supplements.
And because Bulletproof™ Collagen is enzymatically hydrolyzed (breaking the bonds that form gelatin), Bulletproof Collagen protein does not thicken upon cooling like regular gelatin.

Hydrolyzed collagen powder, Bulletproof™ XCT® oil powder (caprylic and capric acid triglycerides from highly refined coconut and/or palm kernel oil, tapioca dextrin), coconut creamer powder (nonfat dry coconut milk, non-GMO maltodextrin, coconut oil, gum acacia, less than 2% sunflower lecithin, tri-calcium phosphate), natural vanilla flavor, erythritol, cellulose gum, Rebaudioside A (refined stevia leaf extract).
Bulletproof™ Collagen Protein is made of predominantly Type I and a small amount of Type III bovine collagen that comes from pasture-raised, hormone-free cows. And unlike cheaper collagen that can end up damaged by heat, Bulletproof Collagen is enzymatically processed several times, to leave its nutrition-giving peptides intact. That makes it highly bioavailable for maximum nutritional potency.
For a quick and delicious serving of collagen, mix 2 scoops of Bulletproof™ Vanilla Collagen Protein into at least 6 ounces of water or your favorite beverage. Try it blended in Bulletproof® Coffee for a delicious vanilla collagen latte.
Bulletproof Vanilla Collagen Milkshake Makes 1 serving
Ingredients:
2 scoops Bulletproof Vanilla Collagen Protein
1 tbsp. almond or cashew butter
1 cup non-dairy milk of choice (coconut, almond, or cashew are all good options)
1/3 cup filtered water
1 tsp. – 1 tbsp. Brain Octane oil
Directions: Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy. Enjoy!

Our Story...
Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention
My Mother Was The Necessity Behind My Invention.
How Sufficient C LLC Came To Be by Caralyn Vessal
Vitamin C is imperative for a healthy functioning immune system, but getting truly sufficient amounts can be tough, particularly so during times of illness, when the body’s immune system needs increased immune support that always must include high doses of vitamin C! So sad that so many actually lie in hospital beds trying to fight off infections, but rarely if ever receive the vitamin C their immune system desperately needs from their “trusted” physicians.
I experienced this problem first hand when my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. Like many others, my mother had been struggling with the physical effects of her chosen conventional cancer treatment while I was struggling with a lot of worry and concern regarding her treatment. Knowing that the body's need for vitamin C is increased when stressed with illness, it was clear to me that my mother was not getting nearly enough! I think it is fair to say that she was getting tired of dietary supplementation and even professed that she was unwilling to add another vitamin to her daily routine. This was concerning to me because I was certain she was not getting ample foundational nutrients to help support all the challenges that her conventional cancer treatment and disease was presenting. Making matters worse, her treatment was making it increasingly difficult for her to stay adequately hydrated. Consequently numerous and unnecessary emergency room visits for dehydration ensued.
I searched far and wide and soon realized there was nothing on the market with the attributes of a delicious, refreshing beverage to best encourage frequent and compelling hydration, that was amply fortified with high doses of non-GMO vitamin C and generous doses of L-Lysine, Bromelain and a 94% pure green tea extract (EGCG) which are all known for their immune boosting, anti-inflammatory properties when used in the higher, more therapeutic doses. It seemed only natural that a delicious thirst quenching drink mix could be a compelling means to that end for my mother and no doubt the many other patients out there that must be going through the same struggle.
Being that there was nothing on the market that offered true flavor with function I went to work.
In formulating this drink mix, sugar was not an option since it is cancer friendly. It is also counterproductive to ingest vitamin C and sugar at the same time as sugar is also known to impede vitamin C absorption. It was shocking to me that many vitamin C supplement manufacturers add some form of sugar to their products or if not equally troubling, artificial sweeteners to the detriment of trusting consumers.
An organic grade stevia was the perfect answer. I have always been a stevia proponent. I knew when high quality stevia is used judiciously it could be quite satisfying.
Solubility was equally important. Often “healthier “drink mixes for various reasons, do not fully dissolve in water. It is not at all appetizing to see particles floating, sinking or sticking to the side of a beverage glass. As a result, it was imperative that my drink mix be 100% water soluble.
Sufficient-C® offers flavor with function in the form of a hydrating, satisfying immune supportive drink mix . It is a refreshing, seamless solution for those that are tired of the daunting task of swallowing many pills and capsules and simply need more. Now every person, regardless of where they lie on the health spectrum can benefit and actually enjoy flavor with function in each satisfying sip thanks to my mother. In my case, my mother was the necessity behind my invention.
By spreading out the dosing throughout the day, immune support can be easily summoned throughout the day just the way mother nature intended even after a primate gene mutation occurred 25-45 million years ago!
Drink with meals, after a hot, steamy work-out or just because... The convenient scoop allows for the ease of customized dosing because as individuals, we all have different needs and circumstances. High dosed supplementation doesn’t get more refreshing nor compelling than Sufficient-C®!
Just add cool spring water, stir and enjoy flavor with function at its very best! We drink to your health!™
Sovereign Labs
Sovereign Labs - Colostrum LD® Capsules : Liposomal Delivery - 240caps (480mg each)
£71.95
Colostrum LD® Capsules :: Micro-Encapsulated Liposomal Delivery Colostrum - 240caps (480mg each)
Colostrum LD® Capsules :: Micro-Encapsulated Liposomal Delivery Colostrum
1 Bottle = 120 capsules
Colostrum-LD® is the only substance clinically proven to heal and prevent Leaky Gut Syndrome.
Most physicians agree that Leaky Gut Syndrome is a primary cause of chronic disease.
The LD Difference: Colostrum-LD® remains biologically active at the cellular level with maximal effectiveness (up to 4X more effective than regular colostrum).
Colostrum-LD® is the only colostrum certified to contain a minimum of 25-30% Immunoglobulins, 1.5% Lactoferrin, 1.5% Growth Factors and 4.5-5% PRPs (colostrum’s most powerful bioactive component).
NOTE: Colostrum LD Capsules and Colostrum LD Powder are the exact same product and differ only in packaging.
Sovereign Laboratories takes a great product (colostrum) and makes it a superior product (Colostrum-LD®). Our proprietary in-house Liposomal Delivery (LD) system is an applied coating which allows colostrum to readily dissolve in liquids and ensures the colostrum will bypass digestion; will be transported through the bowel wall; will circulate throughout the body; will reach the organs and cells; and remain bioavailable at the cellular level. “Liposomal Delivery makes colostrum (and other nutrients) up to 1,500 % more bioavailable” (Robert R. Milne, MD); this makes Colostrum-LD® the most effective colostrum available. Without LD, colostrum loses most of its effectiveness. The LD Difference means that colostrum products from Sovereign Laboratories do what they say. Sovereign Laboratories stands behind its money back guarantee.
Expect Results:
Colostrum does not oxidize in storage.
Colostrum is not digested (digestion destroys colostrum’s bioactivity).
Colostrum components are delivered through the bowel wall into the blood stream to reach all organs and cells wherever needed.
Colostrum components transport through the cell wall to assist in RNA and DNA repair; stem cell initiation and differentiation; facilitation of cellular growth and repair; infection prevention; and identification of damaged and diseased cells.
COLOSTRUM-LD® has been shown to help:
Boost, balance, and maintain unsurpassed immune function
Eliminate harmful pathogens and fight infection
Prevent and eliminate diarrhea from infectious causes
Suppress over-reactivity to environmental pathogens and toxins
Protect and heal GI and stomach lining (Leaky Gut Syndrome)
Increase Natural Killer (NK) cell activity
Increase muscle strength and stamina; speed recovery after exercise or injury; burn fat; and maintain blood glucose homeostasis
Provide anti-aging benefits
Effective Use
Colostrum is a food, not a drug or medicine. It is safe, non-toxic, non-allergenic and has no side effects.
Bovine Colostrum is safe, non-toxic and can be consumed in any quantity without side effects or drug interactions. It contains special enzymes that prevent its immune and growth factors from being digested. An article written by Robert Preston, ND, President of the International Institute of Nutritional Research, states, "Bovine colostrum is safe. Colostrum contains an unprecedented combination of nutritional factors with which to fortify the immune system. It is so harmless, it has been prepared by Nature as the first food for infants, intended as their total diet for the first 24 hours." He further states, "It would be hard to imagine any nutritional substance more natural or beneficial than colostrum. It is safe for internal consumption by children, adults and animals."
How much should be taken and how often?
You should take enough colostrum to obtain results you desire; this amount varies from person to person. If you are not seeing results with colostrum, you are not taking enough. For healthy adults who want to maintain a healthy immune system and prevent Leaky Gut Syndrome, 2 capsules (or 1 teaspoon powder) twice daily are recommended. For anyone whose has compromised health situation, GI or digestive health issues, auto-immune conditions, inflammatory conditions, cancer, heart disease, is recovering from an injury, wants to get rid of allergies, or detects a cold or flu coming on, 4 capsules (1 tablespoon powder) twice a day are recommended. For athletic use and anti-aging, 10-20 grams daily optimizes growth hormone levels which translates to 2 heaping tablespoons of powder twice a day.
The dosage can then be lessened to a maintenance level as long as it continues to produce results. Colostrum has a sixteen hour half-life. It should be taken twice a day on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. Colostrum's benefits are cumulative. The longer and more consistent the use, the greater the benefits.
Most people feel better right away, yet about one in five first-time users experience a detox event or "healing crisis," consisting of flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, headache coughing up phlegm, skin rashes and low-grade fever. These are called Herxheimer reactions and typically last only a couple of days. The body is ridding itself of long-accumulated toxins, locked in the body's tissues and fat deposits that have suppressed the immune system and encouraged disease. This is normal, and not a reason to stop taking colostrum. You should reduce your dosage to a minimum amount (one capsule per day, or 1/2 teaspoon) until the body adjusts, and then increase your dosage as desired to achieve optimal results.
Colostrum is not just for adults, and remarkable results have been observed in infants and children. Colostrum's test is in the undeniable health of children who receive colostrum and breast milk from their mothers. These children experience less illness, increased mental acuity and have stronger, more vibrant growth. If infants are not breastfed or not breastfed for at least two years, colostrum supplementation is an option. Because children have a tendency to catch colds and illness from peers in daycare and school, colostrum supplementation in these situations will help immensely. Colostrum powder tastes great and is advisable for children who are unable to swallow colostrum capsules.
We can't forget our beloved pets. Veterinary use of bovine colostrum with aging and/or ailing animals (mammals) has proven to be very beneficial. Its ability to halt disease is well documented; aging pets with arthritis or joint problems are particularly responsive to colostrum. And most pets love the taste of colostrum.
It’s important for each one of us to take responsibility for our own health. Like the “Sovereign” in our company name, we believe in individuals taking “sovereign” charge of their health and well-being. If you are convinced by claims, testimonials, or even research stating that a product will stop disease, you must make certain that there is also supporting research showing that the product does not destroy body tissue, interact with other drugs or supplements, or create harmful side effects in the process. Colostrum-LD® is the only clinically proven substance which heals and prevents Leaky Gut Syndrome and does not cause harm to the body.
Effectiveness of Colostrum
This depends on its quality and how it is processed!
Research has shown that colostrum which is water-soluble is more easily assimilated. If you are taking colostrum which is only partially soluble, you will not get the full benefits. Colostrum which has been frozen cannot be made water soluble and it must be specially micronized in order to be soluble. Simply empty a capsule into a glass of water, cover and shake. It should dissolve quickly.
Tests on several different brands of colostrum have shown that colostrum processed with excessive heat will lose most of its biological activity. This is especially true of colostrum tablets. The heat generated when tablets are formed is so high that it severely compromises colostrum's efficacy.
Colostrum that comes from pasture fed herds, who eat healthy green grass produce better milk and colostrum than cows that are fed processed foods.
It is also very important that colostrum is standardized by taking it from large numbers of healthy cows. This insures the maximum possible amount of immune factors. Colostrum that is not standardized should be avoided.
Some colostrum is manipulated to boost immunoglobulin levels. Recent research, however, has shown that higher percentages of immunoglobulin actually diminish colostrum's effectiveness in combating infection. Therefore, our conclusion is that the most effective colostrum is that which is gently processed, but otherwise left with the balance of its immune and growth factors as nature intended.
Let the Buyer Beware!
Not all colostrum is processed in accordance with these strict guidelines.
Currently no standards exist for the collection and processing of colostrum. Some colostrum contains inexpensive "filler" products such as whey by-products, which severely reduce its effectiveness. Also, if the colostrum is not collected during the first 24 hours after the birth of the calf, it will be missing many of the important growth factors.
To help you assess different brands of colostrum, below is a summary of the standard you should look for in high quality colostrum:
It should be full water-soluble.
It should come only from certified healthy, grade A diary cows (after the needs of the calf are met).
It should be collected only from the first milking after the second birth, to ensure maximum biological activity.
It should come only from cows which are pasture-fed, and certified to be hormone, pesticide and antibiotic free.
It should be filtered and homogenized to break down the long-chain proteins (immunoglobulins) for better assimilation.
It should be mixed with the colostrum from thousands of other cows to standardize and maximize the immune factors.
It should be processed to remove excess, unwanted fat, and dried with added heat. This process is significantly more costly and time-consuming than regular high-temperature processing.
It should be laboratory tested for E.Coli, salmonella, pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics, other pathogens, a verification of high platelet count (a sign of active "friendly" intestinal bacteria) and immunoglobulin content.
There are only a few producers of bovine colostrum which meet the above standards. Read labels carefully and investigate the company. Another way to find a high-quality colostrum is to contact the Center for Nutritional Research (CNR), www.icnr.org, an independent, non-profit research organization. The CNR can provide, free of charge, a list of manufacturers whose colostrum meets our guidelines.

Organifi
Organifi - GOLD - 196g (Rest & Relaxation)
£47.49
A mind-blowing blend of:
Maximum Strength Turmeric
It’s been used for over 4,000 years. Ancient India and even China recognized turmeric as a powerful restorative root. Today, over 2,000 peer reviewed studies suggest turmeric’s power. Here, we’ve included a full clinically tested dose. Plus, our unique, proprietary harvesting method makes each dose 4 times more powerful!
Ginger
This you’ve heard. Ginger is the “swiss army knife” of superfoods. It’s revered as the #1 alternative restorative plant in hundreds of countries. It’s used the world over for digestion, flus, colds, achy muscles and other illnesses. It’s also another tool in your toolbox for a healthy response to discomfort. 1
Reishi Mushroom
It’s called “The King of Mushrooms.” It was brewed into an “immortal youth tea” in ancient Japan. Even more modern studies praise it’s impact on longevity. Reishi has also been used as a natural form of muscle relaxation in modern Chinese medicine. 2
Lemon Balm
It’s known as “The Calming Herb.” In the 1600s, nuns near Mt. Carmel created a “relaxation tea” with these fragrant smelling leaves. The recipe has spread all through Europe since. Nowadays, lemon balm is a major ingredient in natural sleep supporting drinks and essential oils. 3
Turkey Tail Mycelium
It looks exactly how it sounds. Turkey Tail is a restorative mushroom which resembles a turkey’s tail. It’s restorative effects on human immunity are spell-binding. It was revered as a secret “magical cure-all” among Native American cultures for centuries. Then scientists caught on. In 2013, The National Institute Of Health was so impressed. They invested 5.4 million dollars into Turkey Tale research! 4
Black Pepper Piperine
You might have heard this before. Piperine is a powerful phytochemical within black pepper. The magic is in how it affects your body. When you ingest a plant with restorative properties, something interesting happens. Your enzymes break it down and limit the potency. Piperine naturally stops those enzymes in their tracks. This allows the powerful restorative qualities to impact your whole body instantly; Sometimes 20 times stronger! 5
Coconut Milk
Coconut gives us a trustworthy saturated fat. See, some vitamins are fat soluble. Without some fat, these vitamins just pass through your body. So here we include some good fats. This way, the vitamins are “snuck” into the bloodstream by latching onto a fat carrier cell.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon - A common spice? Hardly. Wars were fought for centuries over this precious superfood. In Ayurveda, cinnamon was used to sooth and comfort people through the aging process. Including it here ensures a hint of warm flavor prized by ancient healers for thousands of years.
Acacia Fiber Prebiotic
It’s another absorbability “hack.” Acacia fiber is actually an organic tree sap. More importantly, it’s “food” for the bacteria in your gut. You’ve heard of probiotics? Prebiotics feed the probiotics. This ensures proper digestion of all 8 previous ingredients for MAXIMUM strength and absorbability.

Living Libations
Living Libations Truth Tooth Powder Polish 30ml
£19.50
Quick Overview
Exfoliating and brightening: Miracle Salt™, Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Bicarbonate, Arrowroot and MSM. On a dry brush, add a pinch of powder with a tiny drop of Neem Enamelizer and if desired a drop of Yogi Tooth Serum, or Healthy Gum Drops. Tip: Really great on a dry round-head electrical tooth brush
Baking Soda, Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, or bicarbonate of soda, is a naturally occurring substance in the human body and found dissolved in numerous mineral springs. Among other metabolic functions, bicarbonate in saliva buffers and neutralizes plaque acids. In addition to being an effective cleaning polish, baking soda is gentle. It has significantly lower abrasiveness than the cleaning agents of chalk and silica that are used in commercial toothpastes, and the baking soda’s natural alkalinity neutralizes bacterial acidity.
Baking soda has been used as a tooth paste for centuries and is often combined with sea salt. Recommended by Dr. Hulda Clark, dentist Robert Nara, and Edgar Cayce as an effective tooth polish. Dr. Paul H. Keyes D.D.S., clinical investigator at the National Institute of Dental Research, advised regular brushing with salt and/or baking soda, as it prevents all destructive periodontal (gum) disease. Dr. Keyes states “Over the years when I was lecturing, I asked thousands of dentists and hygienists to raise their hands if they had ever seen destructive periodontal disease in person[s] who had regularly brushed with salt and/or [baking] soda. I have never seen a hand! And although I have not seen many such cases, the periodontal health in these patients has always been excellent”.
Use : Place a pinch on a dry toothbrush along with a tiny drop of Neem Enamelizer. You can also add a drop of Yogi Tooth Serum or Healthy Gum Drops for an extra burst of fresh, plant power. For an even more invigorating impact, use Tooth Truth Powder with a dry round-head electrical toothbrush. Safe to use every day.
Organic Ingredients: Sodium chloride (Sea Salt), Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Bicarbonate, Maranta arundinacea (Arrowroot), and MSM.
Sea Salt (Sodium chloride) - Purified sea salt is rich in trace minerals. Sea salt is historically known to soothe gums and alkalinize saliva for a happy oral environment.
Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) - Teeth thrive when they are bathed in a sea of sweet saliva, and baking soda buffers and neutralizes food acids. In addition to being an effective cleaning polish, baking soda is gentle. It has significantly lower abrasiveness than the cleaning agents of chalk and silica that are used in commercial toothpastes, and the baking soda’s natural alkalinity neutralizes bacterial acidity.
Magnesium Bicarbonate - This naturally occurring compound has been historically used to prevent deposits on the teeth. It is also said to help eliminate plaque while brushing, and it whitens the teeth.
Arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) - Arrowroot is traditionally used to alkalinize saliva as a natural tooth polish.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) – MSM is a biologically-active organic compound that is a source of sulfur. This naturally occurring sulfur is found in nature and all living organisms. It is a critical nutrient for the human body.
Review(s)
pearly whites
This is the best tooth polish I've ever used. I use this along with all the Living Libations dentistry products, which are phenomenal. I feel like I have the cleanest whitest teeth in the world. Based on the compliments I've gotten from my dentist, it might be true :)
Dragon Herbs
Dragon Herbs Rehmannia Six Combination (100caps 500mg)
£21.00
Rehmannia Six Combination
Rehmannia Six Combination is one of the most important and commonly used Yin Essence (Jing) tonics. It builds Yin Jing. It is a superb tonic for maintenance and support of Yin Essence in older men and women. Rehmannia Six has a broad range of applications and is suitable in any situation where one needs to restore Yin Jing.
Steamed Rehmannia is the leading herb in this formula. It is a warm, moist, Kidney Yin and Blood tonic. Its heaviness helps constrain uncontrolled Yang. Rehmannia supports the lower back, supports the brain and bone marrow, and benefits hearing function. Rehmannia, Dioscorea and Poria can all support the healthy metabolic function. These three herbs also have a strengthening effect on the body and spirit. Rehmannia, Dioscorea and Cornus help to support hearing. In men, Rehmannia and Dioscorea support sexual function. This formula may provide prostate support in older men.
Rehmannia, Cornus and Moutan all support the Liver Yin as well as that of the Kidney. Rehmannia and Poria have a tonifying and calming effect on the Heart. Dioscorea and Poria strengthen the Spleen's digestive function, aiding healthy nutrient absorption.
This is the classical Rehmannia Six Combination used for centuries in Asia. What distinguishes Dragon Herbs RehmanniaSix Combination from other brands is the quality of the herbs used to produce it and the production technology.
ALL HERBS in China (and from most places) come in different grades based upon their variety, seed stock, growing source, growing conditions, care of the cultivators or collectors, and processing at various stages of the supply chain and during production.
That’s a lot to consider. But Dragon Herbs does take ALL these factors into account in selecting our raw materials and in producing our herbal products.
Rehmannia Six Combination is so widely consumed in China that many domestic herb factories produce it. Most of this production uses low grade herbs for price reasons. Many of the peasants of China take Rehmannia Six Combination, so many factories produce it with very cheap materials so that it costs just pennies.
Dragon Herbs does not use low grade, less effective, raw materials for Rehmannia Six Combination or any of its products. Dragon Herbs identifies sources of the BEST raw material, the kind preferred in Shanghai or Hong Kong by those who know herbs and want the best. We use this premium material to produce this important formula.
Production technology also matters. Most factories just throw the herbs into a tank and cook the whole thing for a couple of hours, then they make a powdered extract of the tea using a lot of excipient (usually not natural). Dragon Herbs uses low temperature extraction using very pure water and no chemicals. We add the herbs carefully at incremental stages. Some of the herbs in Rehmannia Six Combination can only be cooked for a few minutes. These “short cook” herbs are cooked separately and carefully and added at the end. For example, the Moutan in Rehmannia Six Combination must be cooked just for a few minutes at most because of its aromatic oil content.
One very important process that most factories skip involves the collection of aromatic oils from the tea. Real Rehmannia Six Combination has a sweet-spicy aroma. This is from the aromatic oils in the herbs. If the herbs are overcooked and the oils are allowed to evaporate, the true power of Rehmannia Six Combination cannot be achieved – even if good quality herbs are used.
Dragon Herbs always processes its herbs using an “oil trap.” An oil trap is a sophisticated device connected to the extraction system. It captures evaporating aromatic oils and collects them in crystallized form. These collected essential oils are therefore not lost. They are added back into the extract at the end of the process. And this makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
When you smell Dragon Herbs Rehmannia Six Combination, and other Dragon Herbs powdered extracts, you can always smell the aromatic oils. These oils are not present in most other brands of powdered extract. It is something we pay extra for, but you the customer don’t. We know that for an herbal extract to work, it must be made correctly and with the best technology available in the world.*

Mr Oxygen's SUPER OxyFlush 120caps

NEW! Mr. Oxygen’s® SUPER OxyFlush!®
Years in Development byMr. Oxygen!THE Perfect Oxygenator.The MOST POTENT available.Move up to the Real Deal of Active Oxygen & Ozone POWER!
The FEELING is AMAZING!Perfectly formulated to be absolutely the best home supplement colon and body cell detoxifier and cleanser support!
70% of Your Body’s Immune Defense Is In Your Intestine. Do you want lots of Nature’s Oxygen in the intestines that your body can use to keep itself nice and clean and full of natural aerobic probiotics?
Of course you do, but be careful. There are lots of lesser colon cleansers out there, and although many may produce watery stools, and some may have oxygen, why settle for only loose stools when you can easily have so much more deep cell CLEANSING POWER going for you?
The most important thing I can tell you is that if your preferred choice of colon cleanser does not have lots and lots of ACTIVE oxygen and ozone in it, then you still do not yet understand the amazing benefits available to you with the cleansing action of active oxygen!
Less expensive cleansers without any (or just a little bit of) oxygen are no bargain.
Get it ALL out. Super OxyFlush is especially useful, not for just the colon, but ALL your cells and essential. Unlike other simple products, we know the stomach, small intestine, and colon (all three) must be clean for proper elimination of the toxins coming from the rest of the body.
If you don’t like having to taste powders, or cut lemons, then SUPER OxyFlush® in capsules is the answer. Perfect levels of active oxygen are consistently in this product!
Like our bloodstream uses iron, plants use a special Magnesium in Nature’s Chlorophyll to carry oxygen. Super OxyFlush is modeled after Nature’s wisdom, which uses Magnesium based oxides and special proprietary ozonides to store and release oxygen and active oxygen throughout the digestive system, through the intestines, and beyond, all the way through to the colon.
Same way a plant moves Oxygen around for delivery. This enables the body to have enough oxygen to flush away any accumulated toxins and mucous plugging up the cellular membranes and elimination systems.
You can regulate the harmless powerful cleansing action by varying the amount you take.
Super OxyFlush is not like other common old-fashioned chemical or herbal abrasives, salts, or irritating colon cleansers. A special form of natural Magnesium is the carrier, but it’s the body that uses the active oxygen – and the oxygen it delivers – to do all the natural cleansing work.
Not diarrhea, and don’t worry. Although the oxygen liquefies the waste, YOU control how liquid it gets, and there is no weakness with Super OxyFlush. Outdated cleansers like magnesia pull salts from the blood to cause a flushing in the colon. Your blood needs those salts. Unlike un-oxygenated mere herbal stimulants, or irritating, slightly toxic colon cleansers, the body uses SUPER OxyFlush delivered Active Oxygen not only to clean the blood and digestive organs, but the small intestine, the large intestine, and the colon as part of your body’s natural life process.
It does so by simply flooding the body fluids with ACTIVE forms of oxygen. The body uses active oxygen to oxidize its impacted fecal matter. This means the the body combines extra active oxygen with, and removes the hydrogen bonds in the toxins & stools, turning them into liquid waste.SUPER OxyFlush does NOT produce debilitating diarrhea. It simply helps the body turn solids into their base components and liquids and gasses ready for expulsion. There is no big electrolyte loss as with the other cleansers or illness. There has never been a case of dehydration or electrolyte imbalance as long as users drink plenty of spring water that you should be drinking anyway. Taking extra water and fluids will definitely further help improve your body’s cleanse. Be consistent with using it for best results.
Combine Mr. Oxygen’s® SUPER OxyFlush® with OxyLift® and OxyEarth® and OxySulfur™ for the most amazing simple and powerful complete wellness program ever invented. Mr. Oxygen’s® complete formulas address the most basic causes of deficiencies, the most basic human wellness impediments.
Take these four supplements every day without fail for months – and like others, you may find this is all you need. You may find that after a fair trial, everything else advertised out there is just so much hype.
For a real detox (you’ll quickly see what we mean), you can try taking more, and taking it more often. Our product is NOT habit forming.A one month supply (@ 4 700 mg. veggie caps per day) is very affordable and totally worth it.
Everybody is different, and because all results will always vary, we can’t say anything specific will happen for you, and we’re not implying it either. But, for educational purposes, we’ll repeat what one user had to say about his SUPER OxyFlush experience.
“I personally had a special experience with active oxygen carrying SUPER OxyFlush as follows; After the first few months of cleansing, whenever I occasionally went above the suggested daily servings of four caps (to double or triple that per day, spread out) while taking lots of water, I found my body cleaned out so well, that I filled with energy and suddenly felt, and remembered, the natural clean energetic feeling of my youth. Look how kids run around, clean cells. I felt years younger. I really felt it in my body and realized how without noticing it, that like everyone, I must have been slowly filling with mucous and toxins and sludge covering every cell without realizing it was happening. And that’s why I slowly “slowed down” more and more over the years while living here. And when that layer of slime covering ALL my cells was finally naturally oxy-bubbled and “scrubbed” away and flushed out by the body – I realized how easy it is to do a LOT of cleaning out. Then I understood and felt in my body what it was like to have lots of my original natural energy back through my body’s use of a good active oxygen intestinal supplement.” – Ed McCabe

Organic and/or Wild crafted Ingredients:
Pure Spring Water
Rosewater – Known for centuries as both a vital skin and hair tonic, Rosewater stimulates the hair to grow with health and vibrancy. The grace and sweetness of roses are innately healing to the hair. This sacred floral dew has natural moisturizing properties that revive the scalp and all hair types. Rosewater is known to make the hair strands stronger and invites your lovely locks to be at their best.
Herbal Infusions in Golden Jojoba Oil:The herbs listed below are quite well known and researched for supporting a healthy scalp and beautiful hair. Each herb is individually infused in Organic Golden Jojoba oil - some for a moon or more. The herbs blend their traditional healing properties with the soothing jojoba oil. This process enhances the therapeutic properties of both the jojoba and the botanicals. The end result is herbal infused oil that is a readily absorbed, nourishing nectar for your hair shaft and scalp.
Golden Jojoba Oil, (Simmondsia chinensis), is naturally rich in lipids and peptides creating a soft, silky feel that has long lasting conditioning effects on the skin. Jojoba balances the sebum production in all skin types. It contains all forms of the natural antioxidant Vitamin E. In fact, the highest amount of tocopherol and phenolic compounds can be found in this golden oil. Like Seabuckthorn oil, Jojoba oil promotes healthy hair and skin because it contains many of the bio-available components that our own natural oils need. Nourishing herbs are infused in jojoba for a month to synergize their unique healing properties with this completely nourishing oil. Jojoba is so easily absorbed by the hair that it makes a perfect vehicle for the deep nourishment of the herbs to be delivered to the cells in the hair and scalp.
Chickweed, (stellaria pubera), bursts with vitamins, including Vitamin C. As an herbal infusion, chickweed offers soothing lubrication to the scalp and hair. With its sweet little, white blooms, Chickweed grows abundantly and is loved for its healthful benefits by people and animals, including chickens, which give it its name.
Marshmallow, (althea officinilais), a beloved ingredient in hair care, has a lovely, slippery texture which helps soften and detangle the hair. Its mucilanagenic compounds are filled with proteins and vitamins that deeply condition the hair.
Slippery Elm, (ulmus rubra), is another mucilangenic herb with slippery, soothing benefits that help to detangle and soften the hair. Slippery Elm comes from the bark of the tree native to North America. It also helps prevent “fly away” and frizzy hair.
Alfalfa, (medicago sativa), is rich in elements such as trace minerals and Vitamins K, B5 and C, which are particularly beneficial for healthy hair growth. Alfalfa is a highly nutritious food for the hair.
Seaweed, Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus), is a succulent seaweed that is naturally mucilangenic, and both stimulating and tonifying to the hair. People from regions that ingest lots of seaweed have the most thick, beautiful hair! Bladderwrack feeds the roots and shaft of the hair with essential vitamins and minerals like calcium, magnesium, B vitamins, silica, and antioxidants, as well.
Aloe Vera, (aloe barbadensis), is a botanical gem from the desert that ensures proper balance of moisture and promotes healthy hair growth. Aloe Vera is known for cellular rejuvenation benefits as well as pH balance. Aloe is so easily absorbed because many of its mineral and vitamin compounds closely mirror the body’s own. Aloe will harmonize oily hair and moisturize dry hair.
Tamanu oil, (callophyllum inophyllum), comes from a nut found in the South Pacific where it has been historically used as medicine. Tamanu is very nourishing to the hair, skin and nails. This nutty oil with an exotic fragrance has amazing regenerative properties and promotes new growth. Tamanu also has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial benefits making it a wonderful addition to any hair care ritual.
Apple cider vinegar, created through the fermentation of fresh apple cider, is filled with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. It is a wonderful rinse to improve the shine of your hair. Apple Cider Vinegar is also cleansing and prevents build up.
Orange wax, (Citrus aurantium dulcis), is a semi-solid wax that is extracted from the pressed peels of oranges. This special wax contains beneficial phyto-sterols and anti-microbial properties. Furthermore, it creates a natural emulsifier that enhances the stability of our formula and holds the varied ingredients together. Orange wax also lends its sweet citrus scent and beautiful color to the conditioner.
Lime essential oil, (Citrus aurantifolia), with its fresh, citrusy scent supports shiny, happy hair. Lime cleans the hair by releasing trapped dirt and oils and renewing luster.
Lavender essential oil, (lavendula vera officinalis), brings its familiar calming fragrance to the mix. It supports healthy hair growth in a loving and gentle way.
Rosemary Supercritical Extract, (Rosmarinus officinalis), is an herbaceous revive-alive-verve-tonic with a refreshing, penetrating aroma. In our conditioner we use a special super-critical extraction that boosts rosemary into super antioxidant classification. This type of extraction yields a potent and pure nectar of Rosemary that contains hundreds of plant bio-actives. Researchers at the University of Catania in Italy have shown that super-critical Rosemary extract helps protect skin cells which may prevent age-related skin damage. The study also showed that Rosemary antioxidant preserves a protective protein in the skin called HSP70. The role of this protein is to reduce the damage that stress, free radicals and other toxins can do to skin cells. Rosemary antioxidant is known to strengthen the skin’s capillaries, and it also strengthens the stability of our conditioner. This complete symphony of Rosemary allows us to experience all the gifts that this beautiful plant has to offer our hair. Rosemary strengthens and nourishes the whole head: hair follicles, shaft and scalp. It helps keep the hair that you have healthy and happy. Supercritical Rosemary will bring on the shine, volume and vibrancy in your hair.
Sage Supercritical Extract, (Salvia officinalis), is a clarifying, cleansing botanical. We use a special supercritical extract of Sage in our conditioner that brings out the highest potential of this wise plant. Sending CO2 flowing through the herb at high pressure and low temperature, super critical extraction allows Sage to fully shine with hundreds of plant bio-actives and antioxidants. This full fragrant symphony of Sage yields powerful medicinal benefits for the hair and scalp. Its super potent antioxidant activity helps to protect and rejuvenate hair that has been exposed to heat, chemicals or the elements. Sage deeply cleanses and balances the hair and scalp, while its refreshing fragrance clears the mind.

Shine On - Amazing Mane!
This product makes me sing Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond in my mind, then I giggle, put it on, and marvel at the magic this does on my hair. I have naturally thick, wavy hair, and this tames my Leo lioness-like mane really nicely. Its a conditioner completely unlike any other, so naturally smooth and gentle. And the smell is so...cute! A perfect compliment to Seabuckthorn Shampoo. Leaves hair soft and shiny, for days and days. A little goes a long way, as with the shampoo. However, for special events, I do enjoy applying a more generous amount to the tips of my hair, and leaving it in for a bit longer, then rinsing quickly. This does not need to be rinsed off thoroughly, just letting the water quickly fall onto hair is good enough. This also works well for shaving, if you do need something handy. This can also be used as a styling product when hair is dry, to tame the frizzies or fly-away hairs in place, and to define curly/wavy hair. Whenever my hair is freshly washed using the Libations shampoo and conditioner, my friend always says to me cutely, "You smell pretty". Anybody can use this and smell awesome, look awesome, feel awesome, yeah!!! :) I am a firm believer that a lot of the external beauty in a person comes from their hair, the mane is quite noticeable in "making" the overall look - start with Living Libations, real to the feel beauty inside and out!!!

Transformational
I have very thick, wavy hair, that tends to be dry and turns out to be a bouffant even if air dried naturally. I'm not fond of using gels, waxes and other styling products to keep it down because they tend to dry it out more. The hard, limey parisian water and this Winter's cold have only exacerbated the problem. Two days ago I started using the Seabuckthorn Shampoo and Shine On hair Conditioner. My hair feels soft, silky and alive again. The waves and curls lay nicely without pouffing out, and the fragrance is magical. Thank you, Nadine and Ron!!!
Profound!!!
I have just washed my hair with your shampoo and conditioner and as the subject line says, it has been the most profoundly mystical hair washing experience I have ever had! How do you do it? My hair feels the best it ever has in my entire life and childhood is the closest comparison I can remember to my hair feeling this great! This is the first time I have received an natural product where I have actually felt the effect of it improving my being right away. It might sound strange or over the top, but this alchemical blend actually ignites my desire to be in nature and to enjoy the best health ever!!! I can actual see how you guys must live in a constant state of inspiration after working with these divine plant substances day in and day out. And it definately shows in your poetry and the master blends you all are channeling.
fantastic
For someone with super curly hair, I've tried every conditioner known to man and this the first time I've experienced something amazing! My curls are almost perfect when I use this conditioner. It's lighter, more defined and less frizzy... I only wish it could make it more shiny, then I wouldn't have to buy extra products... Lol. Other than that, the best conditioner for curly hair ever! Thank you Nadine!
amazing
I have totally different hair after using this shampoo and conditioner. I finally have soft, shiny, bouncy, healthy hair. I no longer have issues of build up, dryness, or split ends. I would never be without the living libations shampoo and conditioner. These are two of the best products I have ever used. Ever. Sheer perfection.
LOVE!!
The shampoo/conditioner duo is the best. I've been through many "natural" shampoos (which were not truly natural, like these), and I have finally fallen in love. My fine, straight, long hair (which gets very tangled when wet - and the conditioner was unbelievably easy to comb through) is healthy, shiny, soft, bouncy, smells delicious and is not getting greasy at the scalp. I think I will be able to wash it even less often and I'm so happy I can rest assured that I'm treating my hair well - finally!!! The only caveat - with camomile (in the shampoo) and citrus (orange, grapefruit, lime in both) extracts, the shininess is unbelievable, but veers my dark brown (dyed) hair definitely towards red/blond, which is great in summer, it looks sunkissed - will have to rethink if I really intend to keep my hair dark in the future. Though these products are even tempting me to stop coloring my hair for a while and see how luscious it becomes with its natural color, that I previously always found dull...
