The days getting shorter and the changes in sunlight duration can cause our hair to look less shiny and feel drier and more brittle. In addition, the cold weather can also damage our hair causing breakage and split ends. The cooler temperatures cause our nails to feel thinner, more breakable, and appear duller than during the summer months.
According to research, OptiMSM® when taken regularly over an extended period of time, will deliver strong, shiny, healthy nails as well as improving the condition of our hair and skin.
Recent studies have shown that there were significant improvements in the shine of hair and nails when participants had taken this for 4 weeks, you can see the details of this study here.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Working to lower consumption of saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids, and increasing the consumption and proportion of plant oils rich in unsaturated fats like mono and polyunsaturated fats, have been a cornerstone of worldwide dietary guidelines.1,2
Recent research on chia oil found a higher intake of ALA reduces the risk of ischemic heart disease (also called coronary heart disease) and is significantly associated with a lower risk of CVD and CHD mortality. Additionally ALA reduces the risk of ventricular arrhythmia by more than 25%, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, and is associated with lower inflammation, as measured by inflammatory biomarkers.

From our PlantNatura® range, LEHVOSS Nutrition now have in stock and ready for delivery our natural beta-carotene from Dunaliella which is a high quality source of provitamin A, and also a powerful antioxidant. This product is fully compliant with EU regulations.
Most synthetic beta-carotene on the market consist of only one molecule called all trans beta-carotene. Natural beta-carotene is made of two molecules, all trans beta-carotene and 9-cis beta-carotene. According to research, natural beta-carotene may possibly have a different and more beneficial activity from synthetic form.

According to a recent meta-analysis of 13 randomised control trials, Coenzyme Q10 supplementation may offer significant fatigue-alleviating effects for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and for healthy individuals. Data published in Pharmacology indicated that a statistical reduction in fatigue was demonstrated in all trials examined by researchers, with positive results consistent among both healthy and fatigue-associated disease subgroups when these were examined separately.
Trials were conducted over a duration range of 4 to 24 weeks, on 1126 subjects with a mean age of 49 years, 25% of which were male. Subjects with diagnoses including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, end-stage heart failure, obesity and more were evaluated along with healthy individuals and healthy individuals with fatigue. The conclusion noted a positive result between treatment duration and fatigue reduction. Click here to read the full study.

As people age, the brain naturally changes, affecting memory, learning and other aspects of focus and mental agility. However, research indicates that lifestyle behaviours – including nutrition – can preserve and enhance cognitive function for longer1. With 57% of consumers over the age of 45 reporting that memory issues impact their current health2, there’s a market need for supplements aimed at supporting brain health & function of the older generations. Certain nutrients, such as iodine, are essential for optimising cognitive function and energy levels, and are more likely to appeal to our bodies when they come from natural, organic certified and sustainable sources such as PureSea®.
PureSea® gold-standard seaweed is ideal for including in cognitive and brain health blends to allow for the use of relevant EU approved health claims around cognitive function, energy yielding metabolism and nervous system.

A new study, awaiting for publication, was performed over 60 days to evaluate indicators of health, wellness and vitality along with changes in the gut microbiome in dogs receiving either a daily supplement with or without, EpiCor® Pets Postbiotic. The daily supplement was given in chew form (7 mg/kg BW of EpiCor® Pets) to 348 dog owners recruited from across the U.S. randomly allotted to two treatment groups blocked by breed, body weight (BW) and age. Faecal for metagenomics were collected at day 0, day 30 and day 60.
Some key findings from the study found that by day 60, dogs supplemented with EpiCor® Pets were 67% more likely to receive a higher mobility rating, 95% more likely to receive a higher immune health rating and significantly more likely to have less breath odour than control dogs.
