Metagenics PhytoMulti is a daily multivitamin enhanced with phytonutrients, specifically formulated to support cellular health and promote healthy aging. Supported by extensive laboratory research and years of clinical evaluation, it ensures both safety and efficacy. Scientifically designed to enhance the healthy functioning of key body systems, PhytoMulti also protects cellular DNA from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

The nutrient profile of the typical Western diet often leads to deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals, thereby compromising optimal health and function as well as cellular aging.

Even those who try to follow a healthy diet with the recommended 10 portions of fruit and vegetables a day often fall short of the ideal nutrient intake due to modern food manufacturing, storage, and preparation methods.

Why consider sulforaphane for oestrogen balancing?

Not produced in the body, Sulforaphane is a sulfur-containing phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables.

It is recognised as increasing the activity of detoxification and the elimination of unwanted substances from the body.

It also increases the amount of glutathione in your cells, your most potent antioxidant produced in your body.

Estrogens, a group of sexual and reproductive hormones, are converted into metabolites which have different functions in your body.

When estrogen is out of balance, it can lead to symptoms of estrogen excess, commonly called estrogen dominance in women.

Signs of estrogen dominance include:

● Heavy periods
● Mood swings
● Tender breasts
● Weight gain

Including more sulforaphane-rich foods like kale, cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage in your diet can be beneficial in the removal of excess estrogen.

You may not get enough sulforaphane-rich foods in your diet daily, so supplementation may benefit.

Our Natroceutics Sulforaphane combines two powerful bioactives, Sulforaphane and TetraSOD® to deliver potent effects on detoxification and cellular defence pathways in the human body.

TetraSOD® is a patented, freeze-dried, green marine microalgae, Tetraselmis chuii, which has been shown to upregulate Nrf2 (regulates the expression of more than 250 different genes in your cells it increases your cell’s defence system), increase primary antioxidants (SOD, CAT, GPx) and reduce pro-inflammatory biomarkers (IL-1B, TNF, NF-kB).

Dosage: Take 1 capsule a day on an empty stomach. Do not exceed more than 1 capsule per day unless otherwise advised by your healthcare practitioner.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
We often hear about the health benefits of red wine because of the antioxidants/resveratrol content BUT did you know that a glass of red wine only has about 0.03-1.07 milligrams of resveratrol.

Studies showing benefits of having resveratrol in your diet range from 200 mg to 4 g, translating to you needing about 40L of wine a day!

Magnesium and melatonin address different things when it comes to sleep.⁠
⁠
Magnesium = helps relax and calm your body⁠
Melatonin = is a hormonal change to fall asleep⁠
⁠
Both are able to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep for longer.⁠
⁠
However, magnesium is able to improve your overall sleep quality - here’s why:⁠
⁠
● Magnesium plays a role in muscle relaxation⁠
● It acts as an electrical conductor that contracts muscles and promotes a steady heartbeat⁠
● It is involved in the steps to take protein and convert it into the chemicals that help you feel sleepy⁠
● It plays a role in nerve function, including contributing to nervous system⁠ functioning
● It helps the body maintain levels of GABA (or gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter that is responsible for switching off wakefulness.⁠
● It reduces cortisol, your stress hormone, and contributes to melatonin production⁠
● It also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue upon waking⁠
⁠
Melatonin, on the other hand, may help you fall asleep but not improve restorative sleep quality⁠. It is recommended to be taken only when necessary.⁠
⁠
As a hormone released by the pineal gland at sunset, signalling to the body that it is time to wind down, melatonin could be useful for someone who travels across time zones and needs to reset their circadian rhythm, the body's internal clock⁠ for the sleep and wake cycle. Melatonin levels can be tested.⁠
⁠
Try 2 capsules of our Magnesium Complex before bed. It works with a dual release mechanism using magnesium citrate and a liposomal encapsulated magnesium for improved absorption, resulting in superior bioavailability.⁠⁠

Thyroid Tuesday!

Fasting and thyroid health.

You should be cautious with long fasts and undereating when you have thyroid disease. Not eating enough can be a stressor to the body and the thyroid can slow down in such an instance to conserve energy.

It is best to understand TIME RESTRICTED EATING (TRE) which is your permissive time to eat!

* Stick to a TRE window of 10-12 hours when you start.
* This means from 9am to 19pm you are allowed to eat as normal and then stop eating or drinking any food or beverage with caloric value after dinner.
* Focus on breaking your fast with a meal that is balanced in protein, fat and carbohydrate fibre.
* A balanced first meal will also help control the blood sugar for the rest of the day.
* The body is geared to have better metabolism earlier in the day (insulin sensitivity).

Curcumin has many benefits and below is just one of them

Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound found in the spice turmeric. It's been extensively studied for a variety of applications, Alzheimer's disease being one. Here are four ways curcumin may benefit those with AD. It should be noted that curcumin bioavailability is low - combining it with black pepper can increase bioavailability, but therapeutic benefits may need higher levels found in a dietary supplement.

Inflammation is a vital part of the immune system's response to injury and infection. It is the body's way of signaling the immune system to heal and repair damaged tissue, as well as defend itself against viruses and bacteria. However, chronic inflammation is linked to certain diseases such as heart disease and arthritis.

🍓Nutrients important for fighting chronic inflammation🍓

🐟Adequate intake of Omega 3🐟
Omega 3 has a potent anti-inflammatory effect. By lowering inflammation in the brain, it can assist in the release of serotonin.
Sources: 80g portions 3 times per week of Salmon, Herring, Sardines, pilchards, Mackerel, Trout

🍠Curcumin🍠
Turmeric contains the active ingredient curcumin – a potent chemical component in fighting inflammation. Aim to include turmeric foods daily: add to smoothies, salad dressings, sauces, eggs, etc.

🍳Choline🍳
Choline improves activation of vagal anti-inflammatory system and suppress inflammatory processes, assisting in reducing excessive inflammation.
Sources: Egg yolk, liver, meat, fish, lentils, broccoli

At first low grade inflammation doesn't have many signs or symptoms, but in the long run it can be a contributing factor in the development of multiple diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis, cancer and dementia.

Following an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle can have a major preventative action when it comes to the development of these conditions.
