The best insect repellent cream ever?

2008-04-14T10:07:00.000+01:00

It is April, and so far we have had rain, wind, snow, sleet, sun and back to snow again before no doubt a bout of frost! Yes folks, there is nothing more predictable than the erratic nature of the British weather, whilst we are blessed with a beautiful green and pleasant land the amount of hours of sunshine we are dealt means that we sometimes have to look abroad to enjoy the outdoors.

The annual holiday has changed dramatically over the past twenty or thirty years, where once we as families got on a coach to sunny Morecambe or Brighton, now we hop onto a 747 and we're jetting off to far off exotic lands of wonder where the sun is shining, the seas are warm and inviting, locals are friendly, the food offers fantastic avenues of delight for the senses, and the wild life bites the be-Jesus out of your arms and legs!

The answer to this of most annoying irritations is without doubt insect repellent cream. The Revitalife brand is a concentrated natural repellent with essential oils and other ingredients to provide very effective protection from all flying insects including mosquitoes. For long lasting protection rub into any exposed areas especially legs and arms. You are at particular risk from biting insects in the evenings so apply before embarking on any evening activities as much as you would do in the day time.

Cod liver oil capsules provide us with essential omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins A, D and E which help us to maintain supple and flexible joints, healthy hair and skin and all round good health and vitality.

Cod liver oil has been used for years, usually given to children out of a bottle in liquid form, which tastes terrible so luckily over the past couple of decades the cod liver oil capsule was introduced making taking cod liver oil much easier and far less traumatic. Some makers of the supplement now add a mild flavouring such as mint to make it more palatable.

It is recommended that pregnant women take cod liver oil as it is said to improve the fatty acids found in breast milk and provide increased levels of Vitamin A which helps the body to fight off infections and decrease the possibility of infection. Like all supplements taken by pregnant women, moderation is key; taking too much of something might prove to more harm than good. If you are unsure consult your GP.

Our cold liver oil capsules come in tubs with 365 capsules, so that is a full year's supply, obviously they are a one a day capsule to be taken with or without food.

2007-09-26T14:27:00.000+01:00

Herbal health supplements are becoming more and more popular with those who want to maintain a healthy balance of body and mind for day to day living. Health supplements are not to be confused with alternative medication remedies, we are not offering healing for ailments, we are offering dietary supplements that contain extracts from plants and fish which have been found to promote well being such as cod liver oil capsules for omega 3 and St Johns Wort herbal support for the mind.

St Johns Wort is used to relieve mild depression by people all over the world. It was previously thought that it was completely harmless, mainly because it is a natural product and contains no man made synthetics, but recent research shows that some takers who take some prescription medications could be at risk of side effects and in some cases tests showed a dampening of drug performance which could leave the taker at risk.

St Johns Wort was proven to accelerate the metabolic state of some prescription drugs in the body which causes the drug to move through the body without enough time to do its job properly. Warfarin was one such drug which St Johns Wort affected, along with some drugs prescribed for HIV patients including Indinavir, Theophylline and Digoxin. The active ingredient in St Johns is Hypericum, so before taking this product consult for doctor if you are taking any other medication for asthma, epilepsy, any heart related medication and depression.

The positive effects of St Johns Wort are proven; it can be used to aid recovery from a whole host of ailments from mild depression to shingles. Most takers who have suffered from mild depression report a definite shift in their daily mood to a more positive frame of mind after taking St Johns Wort for two four weeks. We recommend that once you feel better to stop taking it but always keep some for as and when you need it.
