Do you suffer from: Frequent illness or infections Fatigue and tiredness Bone and back pain Depression, mood swings, sleep disturbances Impaired wound healing Bone loss, osteoporosis, bone fractures, and muscle weakness. Anxiety (Vitamin D deficiency is linked to anxiety disorders.) Low vitamin D levels have been linked with heart disease In children, a vitamin D deficiency can cause rickets. (a disease of children caused by vitamin D deficiency, characterized by imperfect calcification, softening, and distortion of the bones typically resulting in bowlegs). Research has implicated Vitamin D deficiency in such neurological diseases as Alzheimer’s Syndrome and Multiple Sclerosis. You could have a vitamin D3 deficiency. What is Vitamin D3? Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin, found in animal products, that plays a critical role in the proper functioning of your body, including bone health and immunity. Vitamin D is sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” since people naturally get it from sunlight (UVB rays). Though vitamin D2 is the vitamin you get from sunshine, most scientific studies are conducted using vitamin D3, as that’s what you can absorb best from dietary supplements. Benefits of Vitamin D3: Supports strong bones Promotes a healthy immune system Prevents gastrointestinal disease Improves cardiovascular health Boosts brain health Improves mood Symptoms of vitamin K deficiency include: Bruising easily Bleeding that doesn’t stop Blood clots under your nails Red or black stool What is Vitamin K2? Vitamin K2 (specifically menaquinone 7, a form of K2) is actually produced in small amounts by bacteria in your gut. You also find K2 in animal products like fatty fish and grass-fed beef, or in fermented foods. Benefits of Vitamin K2 Helps your body use calcium more efficiently, which impacts the health of bones and teeth. Lowers calcium levels in your soft tissues, ensuring healthy blood vessels and kidneys. How do Vitamin D3 And K2 Work Together? On their own, Vitamin D3 and K2 both promote a healthy lifestyle. Together, they are even better. New research into vitamin D3 and K2 has given way to new multivitamin dietary supplements that could unlock unique health benefits to fight ageing from the inside out. Bone Health: Half of adults over 50 years of age have low bone mass. Bone health is a real concern as we get older. Fortunately, the pairing of vitamin D3 and K2 seems to improve bone health across the board. Cardiovascular Health: Cardiovascular disease is responsible for 1 in 6 deaths (17.3%) in South Africa. Vitamin D3 and K2 work together to improve our cardiovascular health. Fights Diabetes: 4.5 million South Africans, which represent 13% of the population, suffers from Diabetes. The combination of vitamin D3 and K2 together reduces insulin resistance. Selenium Selenium Glycinate helps transport D3 into deep tissue and organs for better absorption in the body. It helps Vitamin K2 incorporate calcium to bones. Vitamin D3 aids calcium absorption into the blood.
Vitamin C 30 Tablets Vitamin C is very important as a daily supplement as it's rich in antioxidants that help maintain good health. Vitamin C is Water soluble which means that it gets flushed out of the body, the body itself cannot produce it, so intake through diet is necessary. Did you know? Not all forms of vitamin C are created equal. Most vitamin C supplements contain ascorbic acid which is super effective but can cause stomach discomfort for many because of its high levels of acidity. Calcium ascorbate has a lower acidity and is therefore gentler on the digestive system. Why we should supplement with vitamin C daily: Vitamin C is water soluble which means that it gets flushed out of the body The human body itself can’t produce it, so intake through diet is necessary We don’t get enough through foods and fruits, so supplementation is key Some medications, like aspirin, oral contraceptives, and corticosteroids, may interfere with absorption The suggested adult intake on buffered Vitamin C is minimum of 500mg and up to 1000mg per day. If you suffer from colds and flus the intake can be increased with help of your healthcare practitioner. People at risk of vitamin C deficiency: Smokers and those with poor diets: Smoking and inadequate consumption of vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables can deplete the body’s vitamin C levels. Those with challenged digestive systems: Conditions like Crohn’s disease or celiac disease hinder proper vitamin C absorption, as does undergoing dialysis. Elderly: Age-related changes may reduce vitamin C intake and absorption efficiency. Regular alcohol drinkers: Excessive alcohol consumption interferes with vitamin C absorption and utilization. People with certain chronic diseases: Conditions like diabetes or certain cancers may increase vitamin C requirements or elevate the risk of deficiency

Annique Rooibos Chromium Picolinate Chromium is a crucial mineral that helps lower blood sugar. When blood sugar levels are high, the body produces more insulin to deal with this, which causes more calories to be stored as fat. Chromium might lessen cravings, hunger, and binge eating and assist in getting rid of loose skin. It increases lean body mass and decreases the percentage of body fat. Insulin is responsible for signalling the body to take glucose up in cells (to use for energy). In diabetes and other metabolic diseases, there is a problem with this signalling process, which leads to high blood sugar levels. High blood sugar mostly leads to weight gain and inability to lose weight and too much sugar in the blood for long periods of time can cause serious health problems if it's not treated and can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, kidney disease, vision problems, and nerve problems. Blood levels of chromium are lower in people with type 2 diabetes than in healthy individuals and many diabetics tend to be deficient in chromium, so supplementation for them is key. Chromium helps to reduce excess skin during rapid weight reduction since it shrinks more slowly than the weight loss rate. Directions to use: One tablet daily with food in the morning. Not suitable during pregnancy. Suitable for children from 12 years old For optimal results, use in conjunction with Fat Attack.
