Got Pain? Get Curamin® Safe and Effective Pain Relief*†

  • Most effective curcumin available
  • Features clinically proven BCM-95® bioavailable curcumin
  • Ingredient efficacy confirmed in published human studies

The Secret of Curamin’s Power

What’s the secret? Combining the best of the best. Curamin contains a super-absorption curcumin called BCM-95 that can be up to 10 times stronger than plain curcumin products.

Known for its ability to balance the body’s natural inflammatory response, BCM-95® has been proven in published clinical studies to provide consistent and long-lasting effects. The impact of BosPure® boswellia is enhanced by removal of pro-inflammatory compounds commonly found in this plant. And DLPA (DL-phenylalanine) has been shown to help maximize the effects of endorphins and enkephalins, the body’s own powerful pain relievers. Rounding out the formula is an enzyme, nattokinase, that not only boosts healthy circulation, it has a direct impact on muscle pain via its ability to balance fibrinogen levels in the body.*

Here is just a few of the awards that Curamin by Terry Naturally has won:

TriStar Naturals – Serrapeptase, Fish Oil, Vitamin D

Categories: Arthritis, Cancer, Heart Health, Immune System, Inflammation, Omega 3's, Pain

I would like to bring some attention to TriStar Natural products.  They are very innovative and they always bring forth the best quality with scientific research to back up their claims.  They make Fish Oil, Serrapeptase to fight inflammation, Vitamin D and many more.

Here is a bit about them…

“TriStar Naturals is committed to introducing exciting natural health products designed to meet the better health needs of all Canadians. All of our products undergo a comprehensive testing procedure to ensure purity, potency and freshness.

Furthermore, every TriStar product comes with the recommendation of Dr. Zoltan P. Rona (M.D., M.Sc.).  Dr. Rona practices complementary medicine in Toronto and is the medical editor of “The Encyclopedia of Natural Healing.”
Discover for yourself the tremendous quality and value of TriStar’s growing assortment of products and learn why TriStar Naturals is the natural choice for all your wellness needs!”

Inflammation and pain is the number one reason Canadians go to their physicians!  This is a big problem because because conventional doctors have always treated inflammation with drugs and surgery. In some cases, interventions such as surgery for an inflamed appendix are life saving. So are short-term antibiotics for some infections such as pneumonitis (pneumonia). Modern medicine is wonderful in treating acute illnesses but fails miserably when it comes to chronic disease or prevention. In the majority of cases of chronic illness or inflammation, current medical treatments only serve to suppress symptoms without making any dent in the disease process itself.

Why take Serrapeptase?

No doubt many of you have heard of fighting inflammation with a hypoallergenic diet and nutritional supplements like fish oil, vitamin D and THE Magic Enzyme and your personal Packmanherbs like boswellia and turmeric. While all these may be effective in given individuals, nothing approaches the natural anti-inflammatory potency of an enzyme supplement called Serrapeptase. Doctors in Europe and Asia have been prescribing it in ever increasing frequency for just about every form of inflammation for at least the past 30 years. Serrapeptase (a.k.a. Serratio Peptidase) is a proteolytic enzyme. In other words, it breaks up and digests protein. Unlike other proteolytic enzymes that are derived from pigs, fungi or yeast, Serrapeptase is produced by bacteria in the gut of silkworms. In the concentrated form of a tablet or capsule, Serrapeptase acts as an anti-inflammatory and a pain blocker similar to aspirin, ibuprofen and other NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Aside from this very desirable property there is growing evidence that Serrapeptase inhibits the build up of plaque in the arteries. Thus, it prevents atherosclerosis, arterial blockages, strokes and heart attacks. Unlike acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen and other NSAIDS, Serrapeptase does not cause stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal tract bleeding.

As always, we hope that you will come and visit us at either Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus. Do not sit in silence; there are so many things you can to better your health! Get excited and take charge of your health. Let’s work together, along with your doctor to ensure you are doing all you can to lead a happy and healthy life. Look forward to seeing you!

Do you suffer from PAIN, Eczema, Psoriasis, inflammation or irritated skin?  MSM can help!

Inflammation is the root of many diseases today.  Eating a proper diet goes a long way such as  vegetables which are cooling and cutting out deep fried foods which are hot, but sometimes this is not enough.

Have Gout? Try Black Cherry Extract

Categories: Alive Brand, Arthritis

Conquer your Gout with Alive Black Cherry Extract!

Do you or someone you know experience intense needle like pain in their big toe, knees, fingers or ankles?  If so, this may be a sign of Gout.  Gout is a common type of arthritis that occurs from a build up of Uric Acid in the blood, tissues and urine.  Once the build up happens and the body cannot get rid of the excess, the uric acid crystalizes in the shape of a needle and litterally jabs its way into the joints.  The most common joint to be affected is the big toe, but other joints can be affected as well.  Remember while Gout is painful and a nusance, it is one type of arthritis pain that is easier to deal with especially if you catch it early.

 

So what can you do?

While Gout is painful and stops people from being active, many people find relief from taking the convenient form of Black Cherry Extract in capsule form, such as the Alive Brand.  Black Cherry neutralizes the build up of Uric Acid and provides relief from the jabbing pain.  Diet is also an important component to fighting Gout. Below is a list of foods to avoid when you are trying to get your Gout under control.

Foods to avoid:

  • liver
  • anchovies
  • sardines
  • asparagus
  • spinach
  • cauliflower
  • shellfish
  • alcohol
  • peanuts
  • internal organ meats
  • yeast products

We have had many customers experience the benefits of Alive Brand Black Cherry extract.  While you can use Black Cherry to help break up the build up of uric acid it is important to tweak your diet as well.  As always we look forward to seeing you at Alive Health Centre Morning Sun and Supplements Plus.  See you soon!
