Natural Vitamins & Minerals

We have a new website! The old site is staying here in case anyone has it bookmarked, but you can't purchase from here any more.
Follow this link to our new site.

The best source of vitamins is whole foods, preferably fresh, local and organic. But even if you're eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, and good quality animal products, it's likely you're not getting enough. If you want extra vitamins, live sourced and natural supplements are best in most situations.

We offer minerals in two forms. Electrolytes for hydration, and ionised for your body's building blocks.

  

 

 

 

Max B Nano-Plex

Now for the first time, completely natural-source B vitamins are available in Max Stress B Nano-Plex (TM), derived from proprietary technology using special, healthy probiotic strains. This means a Quantum Leap in everything that B vitamins help to do for the body. No amount of synthetic B vitamins can deliver the super energy boost you’ll experience with just 1/2 teaspoon of Max B Nano-Plex (TM). This product nourishes the cell’s DNA, delivering a biophotonic body of light only found in once-living source nutrients. Synthetic B vitamins - and all synthetics for that matter - may actually accelerate aging and degradation of the cell’s DNA.

We also now stock primary grown nutritional yeast.

 

Quantum Vitamin C complex

In the 1930’s, Hungarian biochemist Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgi searched for the elusive nutrient factor that prevented scurvy and thus, won the Nobel Prize in medicine for identifying vitamin C and its many health benefits.

Although he successfully isolated the structure of the ascorbic acid molecule in his research, his studies clearly demonstrated the vastly superior benefits of consuming foods rich in natural vitamin C, rather than the synthetic version.

Today many scientists and healthcare providers now emphasize the importance of obtaining all our nutrients from whole nutrient sources, such as the Vitamin C found in Quantum Vitamin C Complex.

Formula: (500 mg/Vcap, 60 Vcaps/bottle) Proprietary Blend: South American Camu Camu(fruit) (Myrciaria dub.), Acerola (fruit) (Malpighia gla.), Rosehips (bud) (Rosa can.), Barley Grass Concentrate (Hordeum lep.), Tomato (fruit), Artichoke (leaf),(Cynara scol.), Parsley (leaf) (Petroselinum cris), Noni (fruit, seed) (Morinda cit.), CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), Coriander (leaf) (Coriandrum sat.), Chlorella (whole) (C. pyrenoidosa), Green Tea Extract(leaf) (Camellia sin.), Blue Green Algae (whole) (Aphanizomenon flos.); Fermented Mycelial Extracts of Reishi (Ganoderma luc.), Coriolus Vers., Hericium Erin.; Indian Guggulipids (resin) (Commiphora muk.), Olive Leaf Extr.

Loving Earth Camu Camu

Alternatively, you can choose camu camu powder as a single vitamin C source. Camu camu has about three times the vitamin C as acerola.

Add a teaspoonful to your morning smoothie, and add bioflavenoids, the amino acids serine, valine, and leucine, B vitamins thiamine, riboflavin and niacin, and a citrus tang, as well as Vitamin C.

 

 

 

Liposomal Vitamin C

Although ideally we prefer natural sources of Vitamin C for taking on a daily basis, there are times where we just can't get enough.

In the entire animal world only a fruit bat, the guinea pig, gorilla and homo-sapiens are unable to manufacture vitamin C in the liver. Vitamin C participates in over 5000 bio-chemical processes every 24 hours.

In cases of acute viral or bacterial stress on the body, for example, for a time you will need more Vitamin C than natural sources can provide.

The problem with taking ascorbic acid or mineral ascorbates as a vitamin C source (even Ester-C) is that they are not well absorbed. From each gram taken, you might absorb only a third, for example. The larger doses you take, the less of it gets absorbed.

With the liposomal delivery system, the nutrient goes through the stomach to the small intestine and is absorbed there. This means you absorb nearly all of it.

Product details:
Vitamin C as absorbic acid 1000mg
Essential Phospholipids 1800mg
Emulsifier 400mg
Vitamin D3 50mcg
Other Ingredients: Water, lecithin oil, preservative and natural flavour.

Directions and Dosage:
Take 1 to 2 sachets per day for general organ , nerve, muscular and cellular health.

 

 

 

Micro Liposomal C

Highly absorbable vitamin C in sunflower phospholipid liposomes. Micro Liposomal C uses pure essential phospholipids from sunflower lecithin for liposomal delivery of vitamin C. The soy-free liposomes are several times smaller than other vitamin C liposome products.

 

 

PRL Vitamin D3

There are different schools of thought supplementing with Vitamin D. Here's our take.

Think about our ancestors... They were getting plenty of vitamins A and D together in the sacred foods, such as organ meats, seafood and raw dairy fat. These two vitamins work together synergistically. If you're not eating a lot of those foods, we recommend taking cod liver oil, skate liver oil, Royal blend or dessicated liver.

As well as that, they were getting extra vitamin D from the sun. So you may not be able to get enough vitamin D just from your food and food based supplements. Here in NZ, it's not easy to get enough D from the sun. During the winter months, the sun is too low in the sky to generate any D. And in the summer, it can be a difficult balancing act to get enough sun during the safe times of the day, while still protecting ourselves from sunburn.

So if you think you're not getting the right balance, it may pay to have your vitamin D levels checked. If you need to supplement with extra vitamin D, we prefer healthy, natural vitamin D3.

With the PRL Vitamin D3, no solvents have been used that may compromise the long-term benefits of this live-source vitamin D3.

Serving Size: 1 Drop
Vitamin D3 (1000 IU/serving)
Adults daily, children every second day
Approximately 456 servings per container
Other Ingredients: Extra Virgin Olive Oil, vitamin E

Bio D3 Plus is a vegan formula derived from buckwheat, and includes some synergistic nutrients to ensure proper utilisation of D3: organic fermented Vitamin K2-7 (MenaquinGold) and Magnesium Bisglycinate (a highly bioavailable form of magnesium)

1x 512.5 mg capsule provides the following:
Cultavit 100 mg - D3 as cholecalciferol (1000IU) - 25 mcg
Magnesium Bisglycinate 10% - 390 mg
Vitamin K2-7 (MenaquinGold) - 22.5 mg

 

 

Other sources of natural vitamins

~ Cod liver oil is a premium source of Vitamins A & D. Fermented cod or skate liver oil also provide Vitamins E & K. Butter oil provides Price Activator X or Vitamin K.

~ Yeast flakes are another source of B vitamins

~ Vitamin E is found in wheat germ oil. It appears that Healtheries wheat germ oil is no longer available. But we can now get Vitamin E supplements from natural sources - one which includes the four tocopherols, and one which includes the four tocotrienols. Read more about them here. We can get them for you by special order.

 

 

Nascent Iodine

All the cells in your body contain and make use of iodine. It is concentrated in the glandular system of your body, with your thyroid containing the highest amount compared to any other organ. Significant amounts are also stockpiled in numerous other areas of the body including the salivary glands, cerebrospinal fluid and the brain, gastric mucosa, choroid plexus, breasts, and ovaries.

Our modern diets are often to low in iodine and iodine supplementation can be helpful in cases of deficiency.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:

Nascent iodine is affected by other nutrients, so it is important to take it by itself.

Frequent small doses are more effective than larger amounts at less frequent intervals.

So, take it in a glass of water, on an empty stomach 30 minutes before or 1 hour after meals, medications and/or supplements.

It is best taken first thing in the morning, before lunch and then again before 3pm.Taking it after 3pm could be too stimulating and keep you awake at night.

It's important to build up gradually to minimise detoxification symptoms. Start with 1 drop before breakfast for the first week.

If you have detox reactions from one drop, reduce to 1 drop placed on the skin of the abdomen or inner thigh. If this is too intense, consult your health practitioner.

Another way of using it is painting it on your skin once a day after your shower. The abdomen or inside of the thigh are good places. Use a different place each day.

Increase by 1 drop per week till you get to a maintenance dose of 6-8 drops per week, or whatever has been recommended by your health practitioner.

If you go to a higher dose and then want to reduce back to a maintenance dose (or if you want to stop taking it), this MUST also be done one drop at a time.

Ingredients:

Nascent Iodine in a base of organic grain alcohol. (2% Iodine by weight / 400mcg of nascent iodine per drop)
