1. Menopause & Loss of Oestrogen: Plant-based oestrogens can supplement falling levels during menopause and help with symptoms to menopause. We get great feedback from: BioNutri Lignan Plus, NHP MenoHerbal and best of all – NutriAdvanced Perimenopause Plus.
2. Osteoporosis and Bone Support: A good supplement should have Vitamin D for calcium absorption, Vitamin K to help with getting the calcium into the bone cells, boron, Vitamin C for bone elasticity. Best customer feedback is from Nature’s Plus Garden Bone Support, Nature’s Plus Cal, Mag & Vitamin D, and Biocare Osteoplex.
3. Cardio K: This is a natural source alternative to statins for managing high cholesterol. Very successful & well tolerated. Omega 3 fats are excellent for improving good cholesterol and prevent blood from becoming ‘sticky’. We love Unocardio with Vitamin D as a high quality supplements.
4. High Blood Pressure: Potassium and magnesium are often recommended for healthy blood pressure. Hawthorn is an excellent cardiovascular tonic – helping to keep cells of the heart, arteries and veins flexible and healthy. We recommend Terranova Q10, Magnesium and Hawthorn.
5. Scalp: Itchy scalp or spots on the scalp may be a reaction to sodium lauryl sulphate used in shampoos. Try natural alternatives: Vogel Neem, Hope’s Relief or Dr. Bronner shampoos.
6. Sleep: Valerian herb and cannabis oil can both help to quiet the busy brain. We recommend Dr. A Vogel Dormeasan or CannabiGold CBD oil.
7. Kidney stones: Malic acid can help to soften kidney and gallstones, preventing them from growing larger and making them easier to pass. Similarly, Quebra Pedra, a herb know as ‘stonebreaker’.

Some of these natural herbs work to support the body's underlying capacity to cope with stress and some provide immediate relief from feelings of anxiety.

A number of studies undertaken since the start of the COVID pandemic have indicated that a Vitamin D deficiency may increase your risk of getting COVID and thereafter, needing hospitalisation. Some studies found that in patients with optimal vitamin D levels, they were far less likely to need ICU and the fatality rate was almost zero.
