Product Information
Have you heard the news? According to Mail Online'The Government estimates that as many as 40 per cent of Britons are deficient in vitamin D'.Vitamin D is produced by your body when ultra violet rays from the sun are absorbed into your skin. Not many people know this, but without vitamin D your body can not absorb calcium. This leads to a wide assortment of bone health issues. As of recent years, one of the biggest issues to present itself is rickets.
Rickets is a condition most common among infants. It is a condition that causes soft bones that can easily bruise, fracture and even break. According to a January 2012 issue of Mail Online, 'Parents are being wrongly accused of abuse because of an undiagnosed epidemic of rickets among very young children'.
In response to claims like this, the Department of Health has highlighted the following groups of people as being at risk for vitamin D deficiency:
- All pregnant and breastfeeding women, especially teenagers and young women
- Infants and young children under 5 years of age
- Older people aged 65 years and over
- People who have low or no exposure to the sun, for example those who cover their skin for cultural reasons, who are housebound or confined indoors for long periods
- People who have darker skin, for example people of African, African-Caribbean and South Asian origin, because their bodies are not able to make as much vitamin D
Folic acid, a member of the B complex of vitamins, is needed for the proper development of the human body. It is an essential part of a heart healthy diet and is involved in producing the genetic material called DNA and is used in numerous other bodily functions.
The Government's Chief Medical Officer has recommended that all women planning a pregnancy should take a 400mg folic acid supplement daily, from the start of trying to conceive until the 12th week of pregnancy due to its ability to aid rapid cell division and growth. Adequate folate intake during the time right before and just after a woman becomes pregnant, helps protect against a number of congenital malformations.
Garlic has been recognized in many cultures for thousands of years as both a food and a medicine, and has been used for many conditions, including parasites, respiratory problems, poor digestion, and low energy. Today, it is still agreed that garlic and garlic extracts are beneficial for preventing heart disease, curing the common cold, lowering high blood pressure, lowering cholesterol levels, and regulating blood sugar levels. It is also rich in antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause over time.
From past experiences, some people relate garlic supplements to foul breath and even pungent sweat. Odourless Garlic is formulated to relieve the stress involved in consuming garlic for its dietary benefit. It is the perfect and all-natural aid to maintain a healthy heart, good circulation, and cholesterol levels.
