 Useful
anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine combination.
Contains 300mg Quercetin, 150mg Bromelain and 30mg Vitamin C.
Quercetin helps support the body’s antioxidant potential and
helps stabilise mast cells, thereby reducing allergic potential.
Bromelain digests the protein that may be involved in tissue
sensitivity, digests protein generally and assists with tissue
repair.
Vitamin C is involved in controlling histamine production.

BioCare
BioCare is an independent, privately
owned science based company founded in the United Kingdom by
practitioners with many years experience in biological science and
nutrition. BioCare's emphasis is on quality and innovation in both
product development and manufacturing techniques.
Over the years, BioCare has been the
first to introduce into the United Kingdom, and in some cases the
world, a number of new and exciting nutrition ingredients, products
and manufacturing processes.
BioCare uses the purest raw materials
available in their manufacturing and wherever possible, produce
their own ingredients, thus enabling them to maintain greater
control over what goes into their products. The entire BioCare
product range is designed to be hypoallergenic.
BioCare and its products are highly
respected by British Nutrition Practitioners.
Minerals
Minerals are the inorganic elements which comprise part of the body.
They contribute from 60% to 80% of all the inorganic material in the
human body. The trace elements make up the remainder. Minerals and
trace elements serve as vital catalysts for the biological reactions
that take place within the body. They are found, for example, in
bones, teeth and soft tissues. They are needed for the production of
blood, hormones and enzymes, thus serving a life sustaining
function.
The absorption of minerals and trace
elements (excluding electrolytes) is generally less efficient than
that of other nutrients. The term “bioavailability” refers to the
degree to which a particular nutrient is available for use in the
body. There are many factors which influence bioavailability
including the compound form of the mineral or trace element.
Boron
helps influence the metabolism of nutrients that help maintain bone
health and may play a role in hormone regulation.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in
the body. Its primary function – in cooperation with phosphorus – is
to help build and maintain bones and teeth. Calcium aids the
blood-clotting process and helps control the passage of fluids
through cells. Calcium is also is related to proper functioning of
the heart and neuromuscular system.
Chromium,
when complexed as the Glucose Tolerance Factor, plays a role in the
effectiveness of insulin, the hormone responsible for blood sugar
metabolism.
Copper
aids iron absorption, helping to form haemoglobin of red blood
cells.
Copper also helps convert amino acids
into pigment, thereby adding colour to hair and skin.
Iodine
is an essential component of the thyroid hormone, thyroxine, which
is the master regulator of metabolism.
Iron
acts with protein and copper to make haemoglobin, the
oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells.
Magnesium
is involved in muscle contraction and nerve function. At least half
of the magnesium in the body is combined with calcium and phosphorus
in bones. The remainder is in soft tissues including red blood cells
and muscles.
Manganese is an important activator of enzyme systems. It is
involved in protein synthesis and fatty acid metabolism. Manganese
is also necessary for normal skeletal development and pituitary
gland activity.
Molybdenum
is a trace element that serves as a cofactor in many enzyme systems.
It is also involved in the physiological roles of sulfur-containing
amino acids.
Phosphorus
is the second most abundant mineral in the body and is found in
every living cell. It is involved in helping the proper function of
muscles and nerves and often works in conjunction with calcium.
Selenium
is an essential trace mineral that works synergistically with
vitamin E. As a constituent of glutathione peroxidase, an
antioxidant enzyme, selenium helps neutralize the effects of free
radicals within body tissue.
Sodium and
potassium are involved in the process of balancing fluid
within the body. Sodium is found predominantly in fluids outside the
cells, while potassium is found inside the cells. The balance of
these two electrolytes – along with calcium and magnesium – plays a
vital role in helping to maintain cardiovascular function.
Zinc
is an essential trace mineral, important to help support the immune
system. It is also a component of insulin, body fluids, and many
enzyme systems.
Important Notice
Regarding Supplementation
For many people,
nutritional supplementation can be an important and useful adjunct
to a healthy diet. However, by no means should supplementation be a
substitute for food and it should also be recognised that certain
nutrients should be used within the recommended guidelines so as to
reduce the possibility of toxicity or side effects.
This list is only
offered as a general guide and is not to be viewed as a definitive
statement on the subject of drug-nutrient interactions or toxicity.
Caution should always be
used with individuals who are taking any form of drug therapy.
Ongoing research will no
doubt turn up additional information on the relationship between
optimum nutrient intake and overdose. If in doubt consult either
an authoritative text such as Martindale, Merck Index or the Royal
Pharmaceutical Society.
The following may serve
as a useful guide to some of the more common contra-indications.
