NeoCells Collagen Type 2 Collagen is a particular type of collagen that makes up 50% of all protein in cartilage and 85-90% of collagen in articular cartilage.  As we age, the body’s ability to make Collagen Type 2, slows down. The decrease in collagen production during the aging process can often result in degradation of joint strength and health. 

NeoCell’s Collagen Type 2 Joint Complex is a naturally complete joint supplement that contains glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid, which are key components of supporting and maintaining healthy joint function. This unique formula supports the maintenance and rebuilding of cartilage bones, joints and surrounding tissue.

• The source of this formula, chicken sternum, naturally supplies the nutrients necessary to support cartilage as it parallels the amino acid structure of the body’s type 2 collagen
  
• Hyaluronic Acid is a water-loving nutrient which lubricates eyes and skin moisture levels. It also supports joint hydration and mobility
  
• Chondroitin sulfate (a glycosaminoglycans,GAG) helps to enhance healthy joint function
  
• Glucosamine is a fundamental building block for proteoglycans and GAG’s. It helps to maintain joint health through its ability to support the formation of chondroitin
  

LifeExtension Super Ubiquinol CoQ10 100mg presents a highly bioavailable form of coenzyme Q10 in a patented delivery system. 

Ubiquinol is absorbed up to 8 times better than the traditional form of CoQ10, ubiquinone. This unique formulation is combined with PrimaVie shilajit, an adaptogen which has clinically shown to increase the absorption of CoQ10 even more, achieving enhanced support of healthy mitochondrial function and with it support of every system in the body. 

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) protects mitochondria from free radical damage and is an essential component of healthy mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are especially concentrated in cells of organs like the brain, liver, kidneys and the heart. They are the energy powerhouses of body cells and mainly perform cellular respiration, meaning they take nutrients from the cell, break them down and turn it to energy. This is a crucial process to keep cells healthy and to keep up their normal functions in every tissue in the body which is why effective mitochondrial function is critical for wellbeing and overall health. However, CoQ10 levels in the body deplete with age. 

Super Ubiquinol Co10 offers a powerful way to help supporting levels of coenzyme Q10 and mitochondrial function.

PrimaVie shilajit is a mixture of minerals and fulvic acid which acts as an adaptogen. Clinical studies have shown the value of the combination of ubiquinol CoQ10 and shilajit. Shilajit prolongs the efficacy of CoQ10 by stabilizing it in its ubiquinol form and assisting its delivery into the mitochondria. It has shown to almost double the effect of ubiquinol in mitochondria supporting their normal function and energy production. 

LifeExtension Super R-Lipoic Acid provides the superior, more bioavailable, potent, active and stable form of Lipoic acid, sodium-R-lipoic acid. R-lipoic acid comes from alpha-lipoic acid and is the lipoic acid that is normally produced and used in the human body. In a breakthrough process, this biologically active form of R-lipoic acid is converted into sodium-R-lipoic acid which is seen as the “next-generation” antioxidant powerhouse with a variety of health benefits. Sodium-R-lipoic acid produces 10-30 times higher peak blood plasma levels within 10-20  minutes of taking it than pure R-lipoic acid. This means better and faster absorption from the blood into the tissues. 

Research has shown that the antioxidant effects of R-lipoic acid supports healthy mitochondrial function. 

Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of body cells and mainly perform cellular respiration, meaning they take nutrients from the cell, break them down and turn it to energy. This is a crucial process to keep cells healthy and to keep up their normal functions in every tissue in the body which is why effective mitochondrial function is critical for wellbeing and overall health. Assisting mitochondrial health therefore means support for many body systems and ultimately healthy ageing. 

As an antioxidant R-lipoic acid can give support to protect from oxidative stress triggered by imbalanced blood sugar levels or imbalanced weight, support healthy states of blood vessels and balance inflammatory responses in the tissues. 

LifeExtension Optimized Saffron with Satiereal is a unique supplement that supports healthy appetite and weight management. 

Most people know Saffron as a spice for seasoning or as a colouring agent in food. Satiereal is a novel extract of the saffron stigma that was researched in randomized, placebo-controlled studies where it showed to support satiety and weight management. 

The unique qualities of this plant chemical include healthy neurotransmitter signaling which helps to balance mood and emotions. This makes Satiereal a perfect nutrient to help with so-called emotional eating or stress related unhealthy eating habits such as frequent snacking or late-night cravings. Everyday stress can affect mood and cravings, making it difficult to stick to healthier eating habits even when otherwise following a balanced diet and exercising. This is where this unique supplement can give support. 

Good Health High 5HTP™ provides a high dose of 5HTP which is a precursor to serotonin, thus supporting healthy serotonin levels in the brain. 

Serotonin is a feel good brain chemical. Low levels have been linked to mood and premenstrual imbalances, stress, and carbohydrate cravings. 

GO Healthy GO VITAMIN D3 1000IU is often referred to as the sunshine supplement as our body’s naturally produces Vitamin D when exposed to sunshine. But due to the winter season, weather conditions, sunscreen and our indoor lifestyle, the body’s ability to produce optimal Vitamin D levels may result in a deficiency in this important nutrient.

Vitamin D is essential for bone health, immune protection and positive mood. Each VegeCap of GO Vitamin D3 1,000IU provides a full maximum daily dose of Vitamin D available for supplements in New Zealand.

Doctors Best SAMe 400mg Double Strength This is a double-strength SAM-e formula providing 400mg per tablet. Doctor’s Best SAM-e has been shown to support mood, brain health, and mental focus. It is essential for the healthy metabolism of the major brain transmitters’ dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. In addition, SAM-e supports joint comfort and mobility as well as supporting liver health and detoxification. SAM-e effectiveness has been published in 18 controlled human studies published over 40 years.

S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAM-e) is produced by the body from ATP and the amino acid methionine and is one of the most important methyl donors in the central nervous system. Methylation (donation of methyl groups) is an essential process in ensuring the proper function of a number of organ systems. SAM-e is involved in numerous biochemical reactions in tissue including the liver, joints, and brain. SAM-e is also required for the synthesis of critical neurotransmitters and hormones.

Doctor’s Best SAM-e uses pharmaceutical grade materials. SAM-e is optimized for potency, stability, and to survive the stomach acid and reach the intestine (where it is absorbed).
