Lavender – Lavender lowers blood pressure and slows the heart rate, opening body and mind to all the possibilities of a restful night’s sleep. This fragrant flower has also been proven to increase the amount of time spent in slow-wave sleep, the period of the sleep cycle that improves memory.
Vanilla – Vanilla has been clinically proven to decrease anxiety and feelings of claustrophobia by up to 63%. In addition to aiding sleep and acting as a powerful aphrodisiac, vanilla inhibits the reflexes that cause feelings of edginess and agitation.
Marjoram – This nerve and heart tonic promotes a restful night’s sleep by regulating emotions, decreasing pain and increasing circulation. Packed with vitamins, ursolic acid and terpinen, Marjoram lifts depression, improves digestion, and alleviates insomnia.
Thyme linalool – Thyme linalool - also known as sweet thyme - improves sleep by regulating digestion, calming chronic coughs, relieving tension and dissipating depression. Thyme is fantastically clarifying and cleanses the body of toxins and bacteria. It also suppresses anxiety, eases intestinal spasms, improves circulation, and transforms mental exhaustion into restful slumber.
Hemp-blossoms – Distilled from the petals of the Cannabis sativa plant (yet containing no THC), hemp blossoms boast over 20 amino acids plus protein and antioxidants. These delicate buds lift the spirits, reduce anxiety, alleviate migraines, and lull the mind into serene, lasting slumber.
Spikenard – Spikenard regenerates and balances, promoting harmony between all of the body’s internal organs. This relaxing root melts away stress and tension, alleviates insomnia, reduces fevers, and nurses nausea.

Yellows
Yellows Classic Collection DAY (Black regular)
£35.00
Protect your eyes from artificial light...
...with a pair of YELLOWS.
Good light
Light is one of the most important factors in our environment. We actually create energy from light not just food and it is is a vital nutrient for our health.
Every cell in our body is light sensitive and the quality of light we expose ourselves to affects us.
Sunlight is fabulous! It contains perfectly balanced amounts of red and blue light and our bodies have evolved to thrive in it.
Red light is great for us, it regenerates the cells in our bodies - increasing energy levels, stimulating DNA synthesis, activating the lymphatic system, lowering oxidative stress, increasing blood flow/circulation and reducing inflammation.
Our eyes contain by far the highest number of light-sensative mitochondria in the body and junk light effects our body primarily through our eyes. Skin is also vulnerable to junk light.
Junk light
"Junk light is as bad as junk food" Dave Asprey
Blue light is also known as High Energy Visible light (HEV) because it has the highest energy in the light spectrum. In sunshine it plays an important role helping boost alertness, memory and improve mood a well as playing a vital role in the bodies circadian rhythm.
When taken out of its balanced spectrum, it's damaging, causing degeneration. In sunlight, blue light exposure is repaired by the regenerating red light.
In modern lighting the red light isn't present and the damaging blue light is in much greater intensity than our bodies are made to cope with. This results in degeneration.
Blue light is becoming so common and used in high doeses. Exposure comes from computers, smartphones, TV and LEDs.
We used to use incandescent lights which did a good job of replicating sunlight. Whilst these light bulbs weren't energy efficient, as much of the energy was converted to heat, the effects on our vision and health are serious. By 2020 it is predicted that 90% of our lighting will come from LEDs. It is law, in Guernsey and the UK, that, for any new build, lighting comes from LEDs.
Eyesight
Scientists are predicting a rise in cases Macular Degeneration because of the way we use lighting and screens. Macular Degeneration is the most common cause of vision loss in the Western world and currently its effects are irreversible.
Our eyes are much more vulnerable to blue light than they are to UV light. The cornea and lens of the eyes are very effective at blocking UV rays from the sun, less than one percent reaches the retina. However, virtually all visible blue light passes through the cornea and lens and reaches the retina.
Blue light penetrates into the eye deeply and can reach the retina where the macular is found. Without the presence of regenerating red light, this can result in degeneration.
The conclusions from a peer-reviewed 2018 study are quoted
"In summary, retinal photodamage caused by a conventional light source can become chronic if exposure is high and long enough. In contrast, the use of blue-blocking filters can significantly alleviate the functional loss of retinal photosensitive cells. Therefore, these filters might be an effective mechanism to protect us from ocular pathologies." The study can be here.
Sleep and jet-lag
Blue light interferes with the production of melatonin, tricking the brain into thinking its daytime. This disrupts sleep which affects every aspect of body and brain function.
Wearing Night YELLOWS in the hours before bedtime when using lights, TV's, phones, tablets, computers and e-readers should help to reduce sleep disruption.
The overhead lights on airplanes are harsh bringing your hormones down. Wearing YELLOWS on a plane with a baseball cap and when you land before the bedtime in your new time zone should help to reduce jet lag caused by junk light and time zone changes.
Wellbeing, energy, weight loss and anti-aging
When exposed to junk light, the body is in a stressed environment and needs more energy to process it. This results in reduced energy and concentration, poor decision making and performance. Protecting your eyes should support energy and a general feeling of wellbeing as well as preventing sore eyes and blurred vision associated with digital eye strain.
Wearing YELLOWS around screens, may also protect the delicate skin around eyes from signs of ageing caused by the increased oxidative stress.
Blue light stimulates hunger via Leptin, a light sensitive hormone. It peaks at night and signals to our brains how much fat storage we have. Some research suggests that light exposure could be important in weight loss. One study can be seen here.
Other major effects on our health
Conditions that are made worse by modern light include nearly all the diseases that are starting to dominate our health systems:
Degenerative diseases - using blue light after dark causes a reduction in the production of melatonin. Melatonin is crucial in lowering the risk of cancer and other degenerative diseases.
Fertility and hormonal problems - blue light interferes with core hormones that make you what and who you are. We are seeing an increase in hormonal imbalances, infertility, birth defects and autism and it is believed that bad light plays a role in this.
Mental health - melatonin is responsible for reducing inflammation in the brain and blue light increases oxidative cell stress. These both have an affect mental health.
Skin cancer - the flicker of LEDs causes an increase in oxidative stress on the cell membrane in the skin, as well as the eyes, which is believed to lead to an increased risk of skin cancer. Studies have shown that there is a huge increase in recent years in the occurrence of melanoma in those that work indoors under artificial lighting.
There are a number of other environmental issues that effect these issues, however light is far more important than ever previously understood.
When to wear YELLOWS
Around artificial lighting at any time of the day when there is limited or no sunlight. This includes at home and in public places! (Classrooms, shops and shopping centres, cinemas, restaurants all have strong artificial lights)
In front of TV's and screens. It is advised to wear Yellows even if your screen has a blue light filter.
In the hours before bedtime.
When travelling, to protect against artificial lights and also help prevent jet-lag.
When suffering from an illness, they will protect against added oxidative stress, so your body can conserve energy needed for healing.
You don't need to wear YELLOWS outside in the day or around artificial light from incandescent or halogen sources in the day.
Day and Night explained
Research shows that blue light between 400 and 460nm causes retina damage and that blue light between 450 and 470nm suppresses the production of melatonin.
Day YELLOWS
Our Day YELLOWS have a yellow lens and block 85% of blue light which has been shown to be the optimal level in the day in our extensive market research. A small amount of blue light during the day is important.
Night YELLOWS
At night it is important to protect your melatonin levels to the max. Night YELLOWS have an orange lens and block over 95% of blue light. Wearing Night YELLOWS after sunset can help your body to wind down naturally and improve sleep quality.
Kids at risk
Children are especially sensitive to HEV light. It is able to penetrate more efficiently and directly into a child’s retina.
As we age, the lens starts to yellow, which then acts to block out some of the blue light.
Our generation of children are being exposed to a far higher quantities of intense HEV light than any generation before. It is so important to protect their eyes at a young age to prevent the health issues mentioned here.
A pair of YELLOWS makes a great Birthday or Christmas present with a lifetime of rewards! Or introduce them to your school.
YELLOWS help to protect against damaging modern lights but they are not a replacement for natural light. For children's eye health, it is really important to spend at least an hour a day outside in sunlight.
Adults most at risk
Office, factory and shop workers spend whole days working under junk light and/or in front of screens. Important decisions are made in board rooms with bad lighting. Help to influence energy, productivity, health and well being with Day YELLOWS in your workplace.
Shiftworkers - Light at night has shown to be highly associated with risk of hormone specific cancers. Shiftworkers need to pay special attention to preserving energy and looking after their biology.
Breast Feeding Mothers - Babies don’t produce their own melatonin, so they rely on the mother’s hormones. When the mother has healthy levels of melatonin, they are transmitted via breast milk to set their infants “master clock”, resulting in better sleep at night for you and your baby.
Over 60's - Once we reach 60, the body produces very little melatonin so we need to protect the production as much as possible.
Everyone else! Anyone will benefit from wearing YELLOWS.
Shop YELLOWS
Wearing blue light filters is more important than ever to protect you and your kids health.
“Wearing blue-blocking lenses in artificial light is like wearing sunscreen in the sunshine: it's a general health precaution for everyone.” Dr Mercola, alternative medicine expert and physician.
Other ways to protect against junk light
As well as wearing YELLOWS around artificial light and screens there are other ways you can and should protect yourself, especially at home and in your office:
For Screens:
Download a programme to reduce the blue light. We recommend Iris https://iristech.co which has some excellent settings. These apps control the temperature of the screen which is beneficial for your eyes. They still omit high energy light which enters your eye so and it is recommended to wear YELLOWS when using such programs.
Use Night Shift on apple devices, this can be found in Settings/Display & Brightness.
Try to decrease the amount of time spent in front of these screens and/or take frequent breaks to give your eyes a rest. And use sparingly at night.
For lighting:
Change the lights you use most to incandescent light bulbs or DC low voltage halogens. This is especially important for lights used at night or in rooms that contain no sunlight, for example your bedside lamp, reading light or home office light.
Use as few lights as possible at night - amber and red lighting are the best at night.
If you do use LEDs, use the highest CRI (R9) Index available, the nearer to 100 the better. The CRI tells us about light spectrum. And choose LEDs with the highest flicker rate, greater than 2,000 flickers per second are considered less damaging.
Keep your room at night as dark as possible. If you aren't able to do this, use an eye mask at night.
Cover your skin by wearing long sleeves around artificial light.
Outside the home, you have little control of the environment - wear YELLOWS!
There are many supplements that include high potency antioxidant nutrients that support your eye health. Two excellent ones are Cytoplan’s ‘Eye-Cyt' and Bulletproof’s ‘Eye Armour’.
The majority of adults will find that the Regular size is the best fit. The Small Adults/Teens is only a fraction smaller so these should be suitable for most adults. However, check your current glasses by measuring or looking inside the temple arms where the size is often marked.
As a general rule kids under the age of 7 will find the Small size the best fit and for older children the Regular size will be best.

Optometrists or eyewear stores can make minor adjustments to your frame if needed to customise the fit or if the glasses are bent out of shape. Most will do this for a small charge or for free.
If you find that the leg isn't quite long enough, it's easy to rectify. You can adjust the 'elbow' of the legs by straightening it and making it less-pronounced until the desired fit is reached. You can even make the legs completely straight if you need, and this won't break or damage the strong skeleton. This is how an optician would handle the very same issue.
If you or your child does wear glasses you can add a blue light protection tint onto the prescription lenses. The protection from clear lenses is much lower and be aware that if the glasses are worn at all times, you will be blocking out some blue light from the sun, which is essential for good health. The best solution is to have two pairs of glasses, one without blue light filters for outside and one with for inside.

Magnesium occurs in various compounds in nature. This mineral plays a major role in our energy balance and in more than 350 enzymatic processes. In a similar way as the human body uses water, it naturally consumes magnesium every day while it does not have a system for buffering this material.
The therapeutic effect of magnesium chloride in skin disorders such as psoriasis has been known for many years. There is a growing realisation that today's food contains too little magnesium and that this must be complemented, as many medical complaints appear to be connected with magnesium deficiency.
Zechstein Inside® productsthe purest natural magnesium chloride in the world
During the Zechstein era, 250 million years ago, the oceans were subject to considerable evaporation. The remains of this crystallised ‘Zechstein Sea', containing many types of mineral salts, is situated under large parts of northern Europe and Russia. The world's purest natural deposits of magnesium chloride can be mined at slightly deeper than 1500 metre beneath Veendam in the Netherlands.
The purest natural magnesium chloride can easily be distinguished from various other mineral salts from the subterranean Zechstein strata by the Zechstein Inside® quality mark.
Zechstein Inside® is a guarantee of the origin from the purest source at Veendam by means of a scientifically established procedure.
By creating a more diluted solution of magnesium chloride greater areas of the body can be exposed for longer periods of time, allowing a more gentle absorption of the mineral. The efficiency of magnesium absorption depends upon the relationship between the strength of the mineral concentration, the surface area of the body exposed and the length of time the two are in contact. This method is ideal for overall muscle relaxation and skin health.

BetterYouTM Magnesium oil is not actually oil but is referred to as such because it feels so smooth. It is actually the highest concentrated liquid form of pure natural magnesium chloride.
It is easily absorbed by the skin, from where magnesium ions are spread both locally and throughout the body. The larger surface area exposed to the mineral source allows a more gentle absorption process, ideal for those with sensitive skin or those who want to relax their entire body.
As a bath or footbath soakAdd 100ml to a foot bath or 100-200ml to a body bath and relax for 20-30 minutes. The magnesium will be drawn into the body through the skin. As this represents a weaker concentration it is an ideal application for those with sensitive skin and as an addition supplementation to body spraying for those with additional needs (such as sportsmen/women). This is also a useful therapy for those with psoriasis and other skin disorders.
Each 100ml dosage will deliver a staggering 14 grammes of elemental magnesium, in its most absorbable form.
It is recommended to take a magnesium rich body or foot bath 2-3 times each week.

Muscle Recovery and Lactic Acid Removal Magnesium helps draw lactic acid and other toxins out of the muscles and joints, helping to enhance the repair process.
Energy Production and Reduced Fatigue Magnesium is responsible for the production of ATP, our bodys most important and efficient energy phosphate compound.
Bone StrengthMagnesium is fundamental in the process of ensuring calcium is absorbed by the body to enter the bone. Magnesium deficiency can reduce calcium solubility and so restrict bone entry.
Magensium Oil Sport is an instant body spray formulation and quickly absorbed to give fast acting relief. Each bottle contains up to 800 individual sprays. Suitable for vegetarians, vegans, coeliacs and diabetics. BetterYou is against animal testing.
Please note: due to the supersaturated nature of this mineral formulation you may experience a tingling or itching when first using the spray. This is completely natural and is caused by the large, crystaline magnesium molecules being drawn quickly through the pores. As you remineralise this process is less aggressive and you will simply feel a slight warmth on the area of application. This is an essential process in the stimulation of blood flow and muscle detoxification.
Massive amounts of magnesium are lost through sweat and the accelerated metabolism of strenuous exercise. Magnesium Oil provides high levels of magnesium, delivered with optimal absorption directly into the skin tissue, entering the cells with immediate effect. Magnesium facilitates oxygen delivery to working muscle tissue, improving performance and speeding recovery time. Essential oils calm overexcited nerves and quickly soothe muscle groups providing an exhilarating muscle and joint rub.
Mined from European sea deposits over 250 million years old and one mile underground, the natural process of filtering and condensing produces a magnesium supply essential for aerobic energy production, muscle performance and skeletal strength. Magnesium Oil’s salt structure provides the most absorbable source of elemental magnesium, naturally purified and uncontaminated by pollution.
Magnesium is essential for so many athletic requirements:
Optimum energy production Magnesium is responsible, together with calcium, for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), our most important high-energy phosphate compound. In addition, good magnesium levels are needed for optimal muscle contraction and to sustain the high oxygen consumption necessary for athletic performance. Research indicates that magnesium facilitates oxygen delivery to working muscle tissue, without it muscle fatigue and cramp are quickly experienced.
Heart Health Subjects who have a higher risk of coronary artery disease also have lower red blood cell magnesium levels suggesting that magnesium may be the main factor affecting their increased risk. For over thirty years it has been known that magnesium deficiency predisposes to high cholesterol levels and supplementing magnesium decreases the particular risk factors for coronary artery disease.
Skeletal strength It is magnesium that helps to make the calcium within our bodies soluble. Without it calcium is not absorb into our skeltal structure and settles around our joints and within our soft tissue and muscles, slowly and surely calcifying our bodies. As a general rule, the softer our body structure the more we need calcium, while the more rigid and inflexible it is, the less calcium and the more magnesium we need. Magnesium can prevent and reverse the degenerative calcification of our body structure and with this help to increase skeletal strength and ease movement.
Aqua, Zechstein source Magnesium Chloride, essential oils (Grape Seed, Lemon, Camphor, Black Pepper), Trace Minerals
Magnesium chloride is the most absorbable form of magnesium as it is the form the body turns all magnesium into once ingested. BetterYou Magnesium Oil uses a source of magnesium chloride mined only in the North of Holland, over a mile below the ground and over 250 million years old.
Unlike salt sources from open seas this source is completely uncontaminated by toxins from modern industrialization and man-made pollutants. Drained and replenished three times during its life, this ancient sea has some of the purest sources of magnesium chloride deposits known. When mineral sources are quoted as being rich it is often used to indicate the presence of a variety of other minerals in significant quantities.
BetterYou Magnesium Oil uses only the purest source of magnesium chloride, with only a trace presence of other minerals. The process of mining this precious mineral utilizes unobtrusive drilling pipes which dissolve the seam in spring water and then pump it to the surface. A chemical ‘fingerprint’ is then taken to ensure a consistency of purity and a certificate of pharmaceutical quality is granted for every approved batch. Only through this process can BetterYou provide its Magnesium Oil spray.
Grape Seed extract, Lemon, Black Pepper and Camphor oils are added to complete this exhilerating and regenerative combination. This formula has been trialled used with great success for muscle relaxing, detoxing and the treatment of joint and skeletal conditions.
Can be sprayed anywhere on the body. Ideally apply before exercise and after showering and make it part of your daily bathroom routine.
For Training Support - Apply a minimum of 5 – 10 sprays, morning and night to help restore magnesium levels. Massage into muscle area and leave to dry naturally. Can be sprayed anywhere on the body. Increase dosage during intense training.
For Muscle Detox and Recovery - Saturate muscle area and thoroughly massage into skin. Repeat as often as required and keep area warm.
Massage – for the ultimate in relaxing and detoxing tissue therapy rubs.
10 sprays deliver 150mg (50% RDA) of optimally absorbable elemental magnesium. Contains up to 800 sprays. Avoid contact with eyes. A warm, tingling sensation may be felt as the magnesium purifies and heals skin flaws. This will pass as skin is repaired. If undue redness or stinging is experienced dilute by half or apply to wet skin. Never tested on animals. 100% natural source.

Andy Wilds – Britain’s Toughest Fireman. World Firefighters Games 2008 Not a man to let seven broken ribs, a punctured lung and a dislocated shoulder stand in the way of his success, Andy is now back in training for the ‘Toughest Firefighter Alive’, part of the World Firefighters Games this year. “The competition is one of the toughest in the world… so my training has to be too. BetterYou™ Magnesium Oil allows my joints and muscles to quickly repair ensuring I’m relaxed and pain-free for an uninterrupted training schedule.”
A few words about Magnesium Oil...
I am a 47 year old amateur racing cyclist. I have been racing since I was 18. In 2002 I suffered from tiredness, lethargy, severe loss of form and muscle twitching. The twitching became so bad that muscles all over my body twitched involuntarily, including my legs, chest and face. I saw a locum at my local doctor's surgery who recommended a private clinic. I was tested for magnesium defficiency. The doctor at the clinic whom I saw after the test results was surprised I could get out of bed in the morning never mind attempting to race. I was prescribed a course of twelve magnesium injections. To say these were painful was an understatement. As the course progressed I found the injections became less painful. What was interesting was talking to the nurses about Magnesium I relaised they knew so little about its relationship to (for example) asthma.
The injections brought my magnesium level up to the "lower end of normal". I was advised that I would probably never get it any higher.
I was able to race again and have since enjoyed some success. I noticed that after training and racing, or if I am ill, my leg muscles would twitch involuntarily. I have been taking Magnesium EAP2 (from Biocare) since 2002 and deliberately eating magnesium rich foods. It has been a bit of a rocky path as I have suffered Fibromyalgia and have odd bouts of unexplained illness. I have no idea why I had such a problem in 2002, but looking back I believe low magnesium had been a problem to me since I was about 25.
Last year I was looking for something to help me sleep at night as I was sleeping poorly at the time. Searching on the internet I found Magnesium Oil. Goodnight Spray. I bought it for its potential to help me sleep. I noted that it claimed more magnesium was absorbed through the skin, but was somewhat sceptical of this. I started using it at night and it was a few days before I realised that my legs were no longer hurting after training sessions. I started using it more and then bought the Sport Spray to use after training.
The results have been dramatic. My recovery from training has greatly improved. I don't suffer that terrible feeling of craving sugar on Mondays after the weekend's racing. I haven't suffered the odd unexplained bouts of illness. I just wish I had known about this stuff years ago.
BetterYou
Better You Magnesium Oil (Joint Spray) 100ml
£11.95
BetterYouTM Magnesium Oil Joint Spray is the latest addition to the Magnesium Oil range and contains the addition of glucosamine sulphate together with the cooling and calming effect of menthol and wintergreen oil. Glucosamine suphate is responsible for the production of connective tissue and stimulates cells that encourage the formation of cartilage.
Easy to apply and wonderful to use. 800 sprays in every bottle.
Magnesium is required by the body to aid muscle relaxation and is essential to help the body better absorb calcium.
Magnesium chloride is created when sea water is evaporated. However sources from open water are increasingly exposed to toxins and heavy metals from over 100 years of industrialisation. BetterYou's Zechstein Inside® magnesium is solution mined from one mile underground from a source over 250 million years old. This has protected the magnesium source form the man-made pollutants delivering the most naturally pure source of magnesium known.
Zechstein Inside® magnesium is exclusive to BetterYou and is the only approved pharmaceutical grade magnesium chloride. This is why we are proud to supply respected health institutions and practitioners worldwide.
Magnesium Oil Joint spray is simply the most efficient way of tackling joint and muscle problems. Every spray delivers essential magnesium and glucosamine in their most absorbable form. Magnesium chloride, glusosamine sulphate and wintergreen all have the power to subdue pain, greater than that of ibuprofane!
Easily absorbed it can be applied anywhere on the body and absorbed immediately. You wont believe it until you try it for yourself!
Magnesium is the most versatile mineral in the body and essential for the absorption of calcium. With a declining magnesium content available from the typical Western diet it is estimated that over 75% of the population are now magnesium deficient.
With a greater and greater intake of calcium and less and less magnesium in our diet we are prematurely clacifying. This excess calcium is simply not absorbed within our bone and settles with mucle and soft tissue around our joints.Muscles and joints: Magnesium is a natural and effective muscle relaxant, helping to reduce tension, tightness and pain related to muscle and joint strain. In addition, glucosamine sulphate is a naturally ocuring amino sugar, responsible for the production of connective tissue within the body and aids in the formation of cartilage. Wintergreen is a wonderful pain-reliever and has been known as 'liquid aspirin' for that very reason. In fact it is made almost entirely of methyl salicylate, a precursor to common aspirin.
Calcification: Magnesium is essential to help the body better absorb calcium. Without magnesium calcium is simply not as soluble within the blood and can settle is soft tissue around joints, within muscles and collect around old fractures and stress points, building into calcium spurs.
Ingredients:
A concentrated source of ancient Zechstein seabed mineral salts delivers magnesium directly into the skin tissue, entering the cells immediately. Over 250 million years old and mined one mile below ground, this unique source is the most soluble and pure known, completely protected from man-made pollutants.
Please not that our glucosamine sulphate is extracted from shellfish so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Water, Magnesium Chloride (15% concentration). Glucosamine Sulphate, Menthol Oil, Wintergreen Oil. Each spray delivers 10mg of optimally absorbable elemental magnesium. 10 sprays deliver 30% of your RDA. Each bottle contains up to 800 individual sprays (6-8 weeks).
Directions:Spray 5-10 sprays directly to joint or muscle area and massage in. Will fully absorb. Apply to wet or dry skin. Concentrate on muscle areas to aid stretching and warm-up and to avoid post exercise cramping. Can be sprayed anywhere on the body, avoiding eyes. There is no upper limit but start any new health regime gradually.

What causes stress, and why is it important to lower your stress levels?Have you ever met someone who doesn’t experience much stress? It’s pretty rare. While certain types of stress are good (eustress), usually intense and brief stresses like exercise, a cold shower or getting outside your comfort zone every now and then, long term, chronic stress (distress) has been proven to be a significant factor in creating a large variety of health problems.There are different categories of Stress:
Mental Stress, like anxious thoughts and worrying about the past or future
Chemical Stresses, like toxins and infections
Emotional Stresses, like Anger and Sadness, or traumas
And Physical Stresses, like Hunger, Cold, Exhaustion etc
All of these are, to some degree, ‘normal’, and yet any of these stresses, once excessive, can cause significant and debilitating levels of suffering (distress), which can lead to health issues sooner or later.Any of the above stimuli can lead to being in a state of stress, which is where your fight or flight response activates your adrenal glands to release a cocktail of Neurochemicals into your body to help cope with the situation. Adrenaline, Noradrenaline and Cortisol are the 3 main Neurochemicals that are released.Adrenaline and Noradrenaline increase your heart rate, bring more blood flow into the muscles and lungs, give you a surge of energy and raise your blood pressure.Cortisol increases glucose levels in your blood, activates your brain to use more glucose and makes the substances that repair tissues more readily available in your body.All of this response is Good and Healthy, IF it is temporary (a few hours at most) and occasional (not every day).When you’re stressed, you can feel:
Angry, irritable or uptight
Overwhelmed
Unable to focus
Anxious and Worried
Afraid
If the Stress is Extreme enough, or Chronic enough, or both, you can go into another mode called the Dorsal Vagal Mode. In this state, the body has decided it is not worth fighting anymore, and the best strategy is to conserve energy and ‘play dead.’In this case, heart rate and blood pressure can go down, respiration decreases, energy production and metabolism decreases, and the person experiences very little energy or motivation, due to downregulation of Dopamine.This is often described as being depressed [1].In either case, whether you stay Chronically in a high stress state, or a Depressed state, or vacillation between the two, Prolonged exposure to these stress states can lead to many health problems, such as:
High or Low Blood Pressure
Heart problems
Obesity
Blood Sugar Dysregulation
Skin Conditions
Digestive Problems
Allergies and Intolerances
Exhaustion
Trouble sleeping
Headaches and dizziness
Uncontrollable muscle tension, such as the clenching of your jaw
Aches and pains
Weakened immune system, often leading to repeated and/or chronic infections
Difficulties having desire for sex (women) or inability to have sex (men).
Panic attacks
Can You Test For Stress?The best test for Stress is a 24 hour Saliva Cortisol Test, preferably with DHEA included.This gives you a snapshot of how much stress you are experiencing throughout the day, and can also give some clues as to whether the stress has been long term, and how depleted you are from it, if at all.The Top 8 Ways to Lower Your Stress Levels:Although there are situations that are out of your control that cause stress, the one thing you can learn to have control over is your emotional response to those situations.In other words, Stress is not something that happens to you, it’s your response to what happens to you. However, the stress response is largely automatic, so the only way to change how much situations ’stress you out’ is to retrain your nervous system to respond to situations in a more optimal way.Until recently, mainstream science believed that our ability to change our stress response was limited, but Wim Hof helped prove that we can control our response to even the most extreme stresses, proving his point by breaking dozens of world records and helping seemingly anyone who trained under him to completely change their stress response, e.g. by showing them how to climb to the top of Mount Everest unassisted wearing very little clothing!On a more practical, everyday level, there’s a variety of lifestyle changes you can make to help lower your stress levels, such as:
Meditating. Studies have shown the positive impacts of meditation on stress levels [2]. This is traditionally used for lowering mental stress particularly, and is also great for lowering emotional stress.
Eat a healthy organic diet. The negative effects of stress on your body can be lessened by eating a healthier, organic diet [3]. This reduces your Chemical Stress load.
Do breathing exercises [4] which can lower your heart rate, blood pressure and reduce anxiety. There are many out there to try. This is traditionally used for lowering emotional stress particularly.
Exercise regularly. Physical activity is a great way to have temporary physical stress which then actually lowers your overall stress and clears your mind [5].
Talk to someone about your problems. Simply “getting it off your chest” is a great way to reduce the pressure and stress you feel. Great for mental and emotional stress.
Stay social. All humans are, to some degree, social beings, and social isolation has been proven to increase stress levels [6]. Make sure you interact with people who do not consistently increase your emotional and mental stress!
Take some time off work. Whether that be a holiday, or giving yourself 2 days off a week - time off work where you can think about nothing and totally relax is essential to lower your stress.
Support your body with nutrients and minerals that will help you to be more relaxed, and lower your stress levels:
Calcium. Extreme fatigue can be caused by calcium deficiency, which can lead to insomnia [7]. Insomnia can lead to feeling worried, which in turn makes the insomnia worse!When we are sleep deprived, we are more susceptible to stress [8].B-Complex Vitamins. B vitamins, such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine, biotin, d-calcium and pantothenate play crucial roles in mood regulation [9].Plus, the more stress we experience, the more B Vitamins we use. And then when we get low in B Vitamins we are less resilient to stress. Another vicious circle! Break the cycle with extra B Vitamins.Magnesium. Research suggests that being deficient in magnesium can increase your susceptibility to stress and anxiety [10], which causes further magnesium loss, and more stress [11].Zinc. Over time, zinc supplementation [12] can help to stabilize cortisol levels and raise your mood [13].Potassium. Studies have shown that potassium plays an important role in helping to regulate blood pressure [14].GABA. GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid that naturally occurs in the body. It works as a neurotransmitter in the brain by attaching to GABA receptors (a protein in the brain) to produce a calming effect.As such, it can help reduce anxiety, stress and fear and also help with sleep [15].Lemon Balm. Lemon balm can help to reduce anxiety and symptoms of stress which helps you to relax more easily [16].A study showed that laboratory-induced psychological stress was eased when taking lemon balm and those who took the lemon balm self reported increased calmness and alertness [17].Passionflower. Passionflower (P. incarnata) is a herb that is thought to help lessen symptoms of insomnia [18] and reduce anxiety [19].It potentially does this by boosting the levels of GABA in your brain.Oat Straw. Oat straw has been used traditionally as a natural remedy to help relieve anxiety, depression and stress [20].It is thought to do this by inhibiting PDE4 (enzyme phosphodiesterase type 4), which in doing so could help relieve stress and anxiety [21].Introducing Feel Younger® Serenity Anti-Stress SupportWe understand that it’s not always easy, nor practical to implement a variety of lifestyle changes - especially all at once.We’d advise that you make as many of those changes as possible, but do so 1 or 2 at a time, make sure they stick and then move onto more.In the meantime, you can support your body with the essential nutrients and minerals it needs that can help lower your stress levels.That’s why in addition to the ingredients listed above, we’ve added the following ingredients to our Serenity Anti-Stress Support formula:
Rhodiola Extract - can help to reduce anxieties and combat depress [22]
Lutein - in mice, potentially helped to combat depression by protecting nerves in the hippocampus (a part of the brain responsible for emotions and memory) [23]
Ashwagandha - has been used for centuries as a tonic to help calm nerves. In two studies ashwagandha was shown to improve stress and happiness, while reducing cortisol levels [24]
Chamomile - A study on long-term ingestion of chamomile showed it reduced anxiety [25]
Skullcap - a study showed those who took skullcap daily for 2 weeks reported better mood compared to the placebo group [26]
Hawthorn - is thought to potentially help reduce anxiety [27] and has been used traditionally in chinese medicine to help lower blood pressure [28]
Bacopa - considered an adaptogenic herb (helps the body to adapt to stress), a study on rodents showed bacopa to have anti-anxiety effects similar to certain prescription medications [29]
Magnolia - contains neolignans (a type of polyphenol found in plants) that is believed to have many health benefits, one of which is helping with anxiety [30]
Valerian - A study on hemodialysis patients showed valerian significantly improved anxiety, stress and mood compared to a placebo [31]
L-Theanine - A review on people in experiencing stressful situations found that 4 of the 5 trials showed L-theanine to reduce stress and anxiety [32]
Mucuna Pruriens - can help boost dopamine levels (the ‘feel good’ hormone) [33]
St John’s Wort - has ingredients that appear to help regulate and elevate mood by increasing dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin and other chemical messengers in the brain [34]
Hops - over a 4 week period, hops appeared to improve self reported symptoms of at least mid anxiety, stress and depression [35]
5 HTP - the precursor to serotonin. Having low serotonin levels can be associated with sleeping problems, anxiety, depression and more [36]
By combining the ingredients listed on this page into an easy to swallow capsule, we’ve taken the stress out of buying each of these ingredients separately, researching and experimenting how much of each you should take and then incorporating them into your diet/supplement regime.How Do You Take Feel Younger® Serenity Anti-Stress Support?For best results, take 2 capsules once a day with a glass of water, 20-30 minutes before a meal.Any Cautions?ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

BetterYou
Better You Magnesium Oil (Sleep Spray) 100ml
£12.95
Magnesium Oil Goodnight Spray is a unique combination of magnesium and essential oils to help promote deep muscle relaxation, a sense of wellbeing and promote a peaceful sleep. Formulated for topical use, essential magnesium is absorbed directly into the skin tissue, entering the cells immediately. Magnesium Oil efficiently replaces magnesium lost through modern diet and pressured lifestyles.
No morning-after grogginessDue to the purity of the supply and the simplicity of the formulation there is no nasty morning-after effect. You simply feel relaxed and refresh.
BetterYou™ Magnesium Oil uses a super saturated magnesium chloride, solutioned mined in Northern Europe from the ancient Zechstein sea mineral deposits, one mile below the surface of the earth. Other sources of magnesium chloride are farmed from open seas and unfortunately contain a growing amount of heavy metals, toxins and pollutants absorbed from over one hundred years of industrialisation.
Zechstein Inside® Magnesium Chloride has remained protected for over 250 million years and is considered the benchmark for pharmaceutical grade magnesium. This is why we are proud to supply notable institutions such as Great Ormond Street Hospital and The Royal London Hospitals as well as GPs and practitioners worldwide
Each bottle contains up to 800 individual sprays
The purest and most absorbable source of this essential mineral.
Mined from European sea deposits over 250 million years old and one mile underground, the natural process of filtering and condensing produces a magnesium supply essential for brain health, skin integrity, muscle relaxation, and which helps to regulate blood pressure. The pure salt form is quickly absorbed relaxing and calming muscles and nerves and helping to regulate melatonin, the hormone essential for normal sleep cycles.
Magnesium Oil’s high absorption rate is due to magnesium chloride’s high solubility. In fact it is the form the human body finds most soluble as it is the form our bodies turn all magnesium compounds into. When a magnesium compound is ingested, the hydrochloric acid in the digestive system converts it into magnesium chloride. Magnesium Oil starts with magnesium in this form. This is an important factor because our digestive enzymes lessen with age. When applied to the skin the body absobs the mineral directly into the lymphatic system and directly into the cell structure.
The unique blend of oils calms, soothes and promotes relaxation. • Ideal for regular disrupted sleep • Helps restore normal restorative sleep patterns • Relaxes nerves and muscles • No morning-after drowsiness.
Magnesium is known as 'nature's tranquilizer'. It allows muscles to relax, opening blood vessels and arteries and promting normalised blood flow and pressure. It is an essential element in over 300 bio-chemical reactions within our bodies and many of these involve chemical reactions within the brain, particularly those involved in the production of seratonin and melatonin, responsible for regular sleep patterns.
The Magnesium/Calcium ConnectionMagnesium and calcium are designed to work together. Without adequate magnesium (which is also a natural calcium-channel blocker) too much calcium gets inside the cell, resulting in muscle cramping, blood-vessel constriction, migraine headaches, and even feelings of anxiety. During Paleolithic times, when our bodies formed into the how they are today, the ratio of calcium to magnesium was 1:1. In today’s Western diets it is in excess of 5:1.
Magnesium keeps calcium dissolved in the bloodstream. Too little magnesium will impede the body's ability to absorb calcium.
Aqua, Zechstein source Magnesium Chloride, essential oils (Grape Seed, Bergamot, Chamomile, Clary Sage), Trace Minerals
Magnesium chloride is the most absorbable form of magnesium as it is the form the body turns all magnesium into once ingested. BetterYou uses a source of magnesium chloride mined only in the North of Holland, over a mile below the ground and over 250 million years old. Unlike salt sources from open seas this source is completely uncontaminated by toxins from modern industrialization and man-made pollutants. This ancient sea, known as the Zechstein Sea, has been drained and replenished three times during its life, and contains some of the purest natural sources of magnesium chloride deposits known to science. When mineral sources are quoted as being ‘rich’ it is often used to indicate the presence of a variety of other minerals in significant quantities.
BetterYou Magnesium Oil uses only the purest source of magnesium chloride, with only a trace presence of other minerals. The process of mining this precious mineral utilises unobtrusive drilling pipes which dissolve the seam in spring water and then pump the solution to the surface. A chemical ‘fingerprint’ is then taken to ensure a consistency of purity and a certificate of pharmaceutical quality is granted for every approved batch. Only through this process can BetterYou provide its Magnesium Oil spray.
In addition to this pure source we have added a formulation of essential oils to aid muscle relaxation allow for immediate massage therapy. Grape Seed has been used for its ease of absorption and skin smoothing qualities. Bergamot, Chamomile and Clary Sage are notable for their refreshing, muscle relaxing and calming qualities and are used extensively for stress, insomnia and digestive conditions. Finally a carrier oil of Grape Seed is added to make the application an absolute joy.

Nicole Arumugam – November 2008 “I have recently bought two magnesium oil sprays, one for my mother and one for my 6 year old son who had developed quite a bad head twitch and is a bed wetter. It’s coming up to two weeks now and the improvement has been amazing. The head twitching nearly stopped over night and the bed wetting has really improved, my mother has also reported great relief. So thank you, thank you.”
Margaret Dennison – February 2008 “I’ve suffered tremendously from poor sleep and aching muscles for a number of years now, suffering particularly at night. I was advised to try BetterYou™ Magnesium Oil by my gym instructor. Within the first week of using it I was sleeping right through the night, with such a wonderfully deep sleep”
