Barlean’s Omega Swirl Oils

Categories: Brain Health, Joint Health, New Products!, Omega 3's

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!

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.

Naka: Nutri-Collagen 400mg – The Glue of Life!

Categories: Joint Health, Skin 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

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.

H.A. Hyaluronic Acid: Healthy Complexion, Joints, and Vision

Categories: Alive Brand, Joint Health, Skin Care, Vision Health

Alive Brand of Hyaluronic Acid now in the flyer until January 31st 2010! Now only $43.99! Buy 6 and get 1 FREE! Good for you eyes, skin, joints and more!

 Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is produced naturally in our body, but as we age our body produces less and less.  The reason HA is so vital, is it keeps the moisture in our skin.  It also protects our joints while boosting our level of collagen.   Remember collagen is the main protein of connective tissue.  It is in our muscle, skin, and throughout the entire body.  It is a major component of what holds us together.  

 Recommended Dosage:

As mentioned, HA are natural  molecules produced in our body and when we are young we produce around three grams daily.  As we age and loose the ability to produce this wonderful molecule that ultimately keeps us strong throughout our body.  It is recommended to take 200mg of HA daily.   

Uses for HA:

  • Banishes Wrinkles
  • Speeds Healing
  • Prevents Scarring
  • Eases Joint Pain
  • Protects Your Vision

Banishing wrinkles is possible by taking HA internally.  Taking HA for three to four months boosts collagen production dramatically.  Our customers have noticed firmer skin, smoother skin, improved complexion as well as more youthful looking skin.  HA works by acting like a sponge holding up to 1000 times its own weight in moisture.  This is what helps to plump the skin and literally erase fine lines and wrinkles. 

Speed the healing of injuries and prevent scarring with HA.  It has been shown that HA not only speeds the healing of wounds, but it also will slowly get rid of old scarring.  This is especially helpful for people who suffer or who have suffered from acne in the past and now are dealing with the scars and an uneven complexion.  Leading researchers have found that taking just 140mg of HA a day shortens the time it takes a wound to heal by 40%!  Remember, while HA is a wonderful find, try not to be impatient.  For example, it takes on average three months to get rid of old acne scars.  Hang in there it is worth the wait.  Alice Chung, the owner of Alive Health Centre, has been using HA for years now and everyday people are amazed that she is 62 years old with baby soft skin.  Once customers find out her age they furrow their eyebrows and move up closer wanting to see if there is botox or some sort of cosmetic surgery, and they are always amazed that its all natural!

Ease your joint pain with HA.  For those who are not sure about HA, the FDA approves injections of HA right into joints that are suffering from arthritis.  Patients find relief because the HA acts like a sponge and absorbs shock.  There has been tremendous success for those that have been taking 200mg a day of HA.  The dosage has allowed people to naturally rebuild the pockets of fluid between their joints.  They are finding that HA is also actually helping to rebuild the cartilage in the joint.  Also the beauty of HA is that the capsule is tiny!  Anyone can seriously manage to swallow this. 

Protect your eyes with HA.  Doctors use HA to speed the healing of eye surgery.  However, you can take a maintenance dosage to prevent macular degeneration, which is the number one cause of blindness in adults.  Taking HA reduces the risk of developing a detached retina.

HA is becoming more and more well known.  Alive has been selling HA a long time before the hype.  We have had customers come in a use it for their joints or skin and this one women came back into the store to let us know that we forgot to mention that it helped with the eyes and that she is noticing a huge improvement!  She was estatic that her macular degeneration was not progressing anymore.  As always we are happy to help you with your health.  We look forward to seeing you at Alive Health Centre, Supplements Plus and Morning Sun!  Hope you have a great rest of your week.
