BioBalance Certified Organic Maca Root 800mg Capsules are a Peruvian “superfood” rich in amino acids, complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Traditionally valued as a nutrient-rich endurance food, maca root supports natural strength, vitality, stamina and mental clarity.

Support For

• Energy, endurance and vitality in both sexes
• Healthy libido, fertility and hormonal balance
• Menstrual and reproductive health
• Immune system
• Balanced blood glucose levels
• All body systems in both men and women

Maca root has particular application for the endocrine system, working via the adrenal glands, thyroid and pancreas to support normal and balanced hormone regulation throughout the body. This adaptogenic action is the key to maca root’s support for energy and endurance. It has an affinity with the reproductive hormones, supporting libido, sexual function and fertility in both sexes.

This is a natural option during perimenopause, when erratic hormonal changes can be distressing. Unlike conventional HRT drugs, maca root doesn’t introduce any hormones to the body, which can effect long-term health. Instead it supports the normal range of hormone production and activity in the body. This way balance is restored for a smooth transition into menopause.

Maca root also supports adrenal function and natural restoration of adrenal hormone production during times of stress and fatigue.

The Peruvian tradition of cooking maca, a brassica vegetable, neutralises enzymes present in all raw brassica foods that interfere with thyroid function. BioBalance Certified Organic Maca Root is gelatinised. It is heated during the production process and ready to be consumed as it is. Maca roots tonic properties support and nourish every system of the body in both men and women.

This product is:  AsureQuality Organically Certified Pure Maca.  The best value certified organic Maca Root in NZ!

Just like humans, dogs and cats need a good supply of glucosamine, the precursor of GAGS (glycosaminoglycans) which are a key compound of the connective tissue (fascia) that literally holds the body together. Healthy cartilage, tendons, ligaments, bones, membranes and synovial fluid all require glucosamine to keep the joints moving easily. Research shows glucosamine hydrochloride is highly bioavailable and safe for maintaining both human and animal joint health. This is the perfect supplement for animals with a sensitive palate. Suitable for a variety of animals.

BioBalance Crystal Vision™ is a unique liquid formulation of six herbal extracts in a non-alcoholic base, supporting healthy eye function and visual clarity. Nourishing the eyes with lutein, zeaxanthin and anthocyanins, Crystal Vision™ is a tonic for eye fatigue and electronic screen exposure. It supports blood circulation, lubrication, healthy nerve supply and natural resistance to oxidative stress.

Support For

• Clear vision
• Antioxidant eye protection
• Eye lubrication
• Blood flow & nerve supply
• Eye fatigue and electronic screen exposure

In today’s work and home environments our visual field is often restricted to the computer, tablet and smartphone for much of the time. Occupational hazards include eye strain, dry eyes, deteriorating vision and screen fatigue.

Crystal Vision™ is designed to nourish your eyes with lutein, zeaxanthin, anthocyanins and other well-researched eye-specific antioxidant nutrients. These plant pigments support macular health and natural resistance to age-related eye dysfunction.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are two carotenoid pigments that occur naturally in many plants, and are found in high concentrations in the macula of the eye. A third carotenoid in the macula, called meso-zeaxanthin, can’t be obtained from food sources and is created in the retina from ingested lutein. A good supply of these antioxidant nutrients is critical for maintaining healthy eye function, and the same nutrients are also strongly linked to healthy brain function and cognitive performance.

Crystal Vision™ includes New Zealand blackcurrant extract with high levels of the antioxidant plant compounds called polyphenols. Among these are anthocyanins, the dark red flavonoid pigments supporting maintenance of normal blood flow and blood pressure within the eyes. New Zealand blackcurrants are superior to both bilberries and blueberries for overall antioxidant activity and levels of vitamin C.

Published results from several research studies into the effect of blackcurrant supplementation show good outcomes for maintenance of the visual field and physiological indicators of eye health.

There are five other herbs in the Crystal Vision™ formula. Calendula flowers and dandelion greens both supply lutein and zeaxanthin within their nutrient-dense herbal repertoire. Ginkgo leaves circulatory and neuro-protective support, while eyebright’s name says it all – this is a specific herb for eye health. Liquorice root nourishes the membranes and supports healthy stress response mechanisms.

A tonic for managing the strain and stress of electronic screen exposure, Crystal Vision™ supports circulation and capillary integrity, lubrication, healthy nerve supply and the natural immune defences in the eyes. Its high antioxidant concentration helps protect the cells from free radical damage.

This herbal combination provides essential nutrients for healthy eye function, holistically balanced in their natural plant form. To help maintain bright eyes and clear vision.

BioBalance Certified Organic Japanese Matcha Powder is made from green tea leaves which are carefully hand-grown in the shady highland valleys of Japan. The ancient practice of blocking out sunlight for 20 days before harvest concentrates the production of amino acids, catechins and antioxidants, to bring out a strong natural green colour, and a milder, pleasant, and fresh taste.  When you consume matcha powder you ingest the entire leaf and receive 100% of the nutrients like chlorophyll (which supports your body in eliminating heavy metals and chemicals), antioxidants and amino acids in every sip or sprinkle. Just think: one teaspoon of matcha tea powder contains 137 times more antioxidants than regular green tea*. The Buddhist monks popularised matcha tea around the 11th Century, and to this day the Japanese people enjoy the slow and graceful process of creating and brewing the perfect cup of tea.

Each batch of BioBalance Certified Organic Japanese Matcha Powder is fully tested here in New Zealand for heavy metal and radiation contamination to ensure it is safe to mix into your daily routine.

BioBalance Calcium Magnesium with Vitamin D3 combines three important nutrients for bone health and joint mobility. A sustainably harvested red seaweed (Lithothamnium sp.) from the North Atlantic seabed provides a vegetarian source of calcium and magnesium, plus 72 naturally occurring trace minerals including boron. Magnesium citrate is added to give an effective calcium to magnesium ratio of approximately 1.3 to 1 for healthy metabolism and to optimise calcium absorption. Vitamin D3 completes the formula as a vital regulator of calcium absorption and distribution in the body.

Support For

• Healthy calcium metabolism
• Strong bones and teeth
• Joint mobility
• Muscle relaxation & heart health
• Restful sleep

Calcium is the main mineral component of bones and teeth, and poor absorption is the key contributing factor when bones become so weak, brittle and fragile that they break easily. To build and maintain strong bones and teeth, your body needs adequate supplies of calcium with its companion nutrients magnesium and vitamin D. Boron is a trace mineral used by the body to prevent bone loss, and is lacking in many New Zealand soils. Ocean-derived natural sources are the best way to supplement trace mineral deficiencies.

To maximize bone uptake of dietary calcium, your body must have a proportionate intake of magnesium. These two essential macro-minerals work in close relationship, in a ratio similar to that which our ancestral diet provided – 1.3 calcium to 1 magnesium. The outer limit of a healthy calcium : magnesium balance is the 2:1 ratio found in most supplements (and erroneously promoted as an ideal ratio). Calcium is regulated and controlled by magnesium, and any ratio greater than 2:1 does not support effective calcium metabolism.

Magnesium is also necessary to convert vitamin D3 into its active form, for its role in calcium absorption. Vitamin D3 is the natural form (cholecalciferol) of the hormone-like vitamin our bodies make naturally when our skin is exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Vitamin D deficiency is much more common than most people realise, even in New Zealand where we enjoy high sunshine hours. Covering up the skin and liberal use of sunblock prevent absorption of the ultraviolet rays needed, which contributes to inadequate vitamin D levels in many people. Vitamin D and magnesium are the top two most common deficiencies in industrially developed countries.

As well as bone health, maintaining muscle condition is another key area where calcium and magnesium work together. A healthy skeleton relies on muscle integrity to keep it mobilised. Calcium’s role is to contract muscle, while magnesium relaxes it. Without enough magnesium muscles can become cramped and sore. Magnesium also helps the body remove used calcium so it doesn’t form crystals that lodge in joints or form bony spurs and arterial plaques. It is very important in heart muscle and cardiovascular health.

While people of all ages and stages of life need good dietary sources of calcium and magnesium to stay healthy, some have a greater need for good quality supplementation of these minerals, together with vitamin D. There is a higher risk of bone loss during pregnancy or post-menopause for women, and in elderly people, those who don’t exercise or go out in the sun much, and people of any age on a low-protein, high-alcohol/caffeine diet.

This supplement provides three important nutrients for healthy bones, teeth and muscles, a restful sleep and a calm nervous system.

BioBalance Astaxanthin is naturally sourced from Haematococcus pluvialis algae. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, an intensely red fat-soluble pigment which gives the red colour in salmon, crayfish, krill and pink flamingos! Its antioxidant effect is much stronger than CoQ10, ALA and Vitamin C, providing potent support for recovery after we exercise, clear vision and smooth healthy skin tone as we age.

Support For:

• Recovery after exercise
• Smooth healthy skin tone
• Clear vision and healthy ageing
