Barlean’s Omega Swirl Oils

Barleans Fish, and Vegan Omega Swirl Oils

 

What are Barlean’s Omega Swirls and How are they Different?

Omega Swirls look and taste like a fruit smoothie, yet provides optimal levels of Omega-3 EPA/DHA to bring you vibrant health and energy!

In a clinical study conducted by The Centre for Nutritional Studies, Barlean’s Omega Swirl was found to be 90% more bio-available than standard fish oil, with the total percentage of oil that reached the bloodstream 10-times greater with Omega Swirl than the same dose of fish oil. Because Barlean’s proprietary Swirl technology significantly reduces the size of fish and flax oil molecules, it allows the oil to more efficiently pass through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream. Theoretically, it could take up to 20 standard fish oil gel caps to equal the amount of Omega-3 from just a two tsp. dose of Omega Swirl!

Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus Carry the following Omega Swirls:

Barlean’s Commitment to Sustainable Fishing

Barlean’s has always been committed to sustainable fishing practices. Since 1972, they have been catching local fish using reef netting, a century old Native American way of harvesting salmon. It is the most unique and ecological method of harvesting wild salmon, allowing the release of untargeted species and other marine life without harm. Currently Barlean’s is among only 11 license holders in the world, and considered by Washington State to be a model of sustainable fishing.

When they decided to enter the fish oil market, they made a commitment to bring their local level of responsibility to a global level. Certain species of fish are endangered, and specific oceans are, in fact, over-fished. They are committed to do whatever they can to ensure the health of these ecosystems for generations to come.

Fish Oil

Barlean’s Fresh Catch Fish Oil is sourced from the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru, and comes only from small body fish (anchovies and sardines). The crude oil is actually a byproduct of fish meal production, an industry that is highly regulated and has been wellmanaged for more than 50 years. Less than 10% of the crude fish oil is processed and used for human and pet consumption.

Cod Liver Oil

Barlean’s Cod Liver Oil is sourced locally in Norway, from the straits between the Lofoten Islands. Here we fish for the Arctic Cod, which is often confused with the Atlantic Cod, a species that is in decline. Arctic Cod populations, on the other hand, are healthy, and harvesting is managed on a quota system.

Alive and chains have had Barleans for a little while now and they are truly a clean fish oil that has the added benefit of tasting good!  If you have been recommended to take a fish oil, but you always avoid it due to the taste come on in and try a swirl!  As always thank you for reading and we will see you soon at a location near you.

Tired of Unsightly Toes? Try Fungal FREE Nails

Tags:
Fungal Free Nails

 Approximately 30 to 35 million people in the United States have nail fungus.  Nail fungus, while it may not hurt, it looks awful and we often feel uncomfortable wearing certain shoes, or having to expose our feet.  Until now there has not been any real solution for nail fungus at the topical level.  Fungal FREE Nails is an excellent product that will actual penetrate into the nail bed killing the fungus.  Once the old fungal nail grows out, your new healthy nail will grow in!  If you give this product time it delivers.  What are the active ingredients?

 Juglans regia 8x, Sepia 8x, Mucor mucedo 8x, Palmarosa 8x, Malaleuca alternofolia, Camphor, Eucalyptus globulus, Anise, Cinnemonum, Mentha piperatum, Salvia sclarae, Juniper virginus, Mystira fragans, Lavandula latifolia, Terebinthinia oleum, Vitis vinifera.

 Fungal FREE Nails explains while there are similar products out there, it is the penetration that is missing. Fungal Free Nails PENETRATES the nail because it isn’t a water soluble solution. Fungal Free Nails incorporates a naturally occurring, non-toxic, lipid, non-polar, organic solvent that carries with it the necessary lipid soluble fungicidal essential oils to the nail bed in order to kill the fungus that is living, growing, and spreading there.

 Fungal Free Nails has many success stories, it is all natural, no side effects and perfectly safe I am actually using it myself, it has been 3 or 4 months now and I see my new nail growing in!  It is very exciting.  Remember it takes patients and diligence; you must do it every day morning and night.  As I say applying Fungal Free Nails has become as important as remembering to brush my teeth!  Also Alice Chung the owner of Alive Health Centre and Chains used it herself and her toe nail is completely fungus free! 

 As always we look forward to assisting you with your health concerns.  Come and see us at a location near you at either, Alive health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus.  Take care!

"The Glue of Life"

Have you ever wondered why the typical complaints of painful joints, weak bones, wrinkled skin and thinning hair are so common?  Research shows that the degradation of the collagen matrix is the underlying factor.  Starting at approximately age 25, collagen production slows down dramatically and then the complaints begin!  Collagen is in our eyes, joints, skin, bones, tendons and it provides the body with firmness, shock absorption, strength and structure.  Not to worry, studies show that collagen supplementation reverses lost collagen and alleviates aging complaints!   Here’s to improved flexibility, skin suppleness, and youthful joints!

Solution for Joint Pain with Flex OK

Categories: Alive Brand, Joint Health
Tags: ,

Many formulas for joint pain can be frustrating because there is always comething missing.  There are so many ingreedients to help with joint pain and often times customers ask, “Isn’t there just one product I can take that has everything?”  Well there is a very complete formula called Flex-OK.  We have had testimonial after testimonial from our customers.  People just love Flex-OK’s convenient and complete formula that the Alive Brand has to offer.

 

 

 

Each capsule contains:

  • Glucosamine Sulfate
  • Glucosamine HCL
  • MSM
  • Chondroitin Sulfate
  • Boswellia Extract
  • Collagen Type II
  • White Willow Bark
  • Yucca Root
  • Feverfew Leaf
  • Curcumin
  • Bromelain

Why does Flex OK work so well for people?  It works because there is no component regarding joint care left behind; all aspects of joint recovery are covered.  For example, there are natural anti-inflammatories to  help with fast joint pain relief, there is chondroitin to increase joint lubrication, and there is glucosamine to actually rebuild and repair joint damage.

While Flex OK is complete many people wish to combine products and this is perfectly safe.  Some recommendations would be to combine Leaf Source with Flex-OK.  Leafe Source has also been a leading product when it comes to joint pain, and the other benefit of Leaf Source is that it enhances the absorption of any other supplements you are taking.  Therefore, it is excellent to take with Flex-OK, and your multivitamin.  Another supplement that is becoming a must is Fish Oil.  Fish Oil is so important for controlling inflammation.  It really helps with joint pain, but of course that is not all, it is excellent for Cholesterol, your heart and the brain. 

As always thank you for reading!  Please feel free to come on into Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus so we can further help you.  Always remember if there is not a location near you, please go to our contact us page, and there you can find a toll free number to ask us questions or if you would like we also do mail orders.

Tamanu Oil For Skin Care

Categories: Skin Care

Tamanu oil has been used for pimples, scarring, age spots, wrinkles, dry skin, itchy irritated skin, sunburns, and stretch marks.  Tamanu oil has been used for centuries in the South Pacific Islands and South East Asia. 

What is Tamanu Oil?  The botanical name of Tamanu is calophyllum inophyllum which means “beautiful leaf”.  Tamanu oil comes from the nut kernel of the apricot sized, green coloured Tamanu fruit. 

Main Points of Tamanu Oil:

  • It’s an antioxidant: Tamanu oil has powerful antioxidant properties which inhibit oxidative stress to the skin.
  • Rejuvenates skin: Tamanu oil penetrates all three layers of the skin.  Tamanu oil is safe and effective on even broken skin.  Tamanu oil acts as an anti-flammatory, and it will repair the skin.
  • Absorbs quickly: Since Tamanu oil absorbs quickly, there isn’t any sign of an oily appearance.
  • Pets and other animals can use Tamanu oil as well if they have any skin irritations.

If you have skin irritations that you would like to resolve try Tamanu oil.  It is completely safe and has been proven to be quite effective.  As always we look forward to seeeing you at a location near you at either Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus.
