Iron Supplementation for Men and Women

There are 2 distinct population groups relating to iron; children and women of child bearing age who need to supplement (at appropriate levels) and men and post-menopausal women who do not. Iron is used in the body for growth and repair and lost through bleeding. However there is no other ‘excretory’ system for iron and if it is ingested in excess it can be damaging for health, for example acting as a harmful pro-oxidant. Statistically most meat-eating men and post menopausal women get sufficient iron for needs from food. Hence our ‘Senior Citizens’ multivitamin formula contains no iron as it is formulated for men and post menopausal women.

It is not recommended for men and post menopausal women to supplement with Iron unless recommended to do so by their doctor.

Beta Glucan, Immune Support, Colds & Flu Viruses

Flu viruses “bind complement” which means they stop the part of the immune system that responds to fight viruses, called “complement”, from working. Beta 1-3, 1-6 Glucan actively and specifically inhibits this binding effect and so ensures activation of the immune system in response to the viral invader. Infection from viruses take about 48 hours after the virus has entered the body. If the immune system is activated it will prevent the virus from replicating so effectively the flu symptoms will not start.

Beta 1-3, 1-6 Glucan is a natural nutrient and provides a role in activating the immune system, alerting the body to help defend itself against viral and bacterial invaders. Nature’s Own Beta 1-3, 1-6 Glucan is a natural form of soluble dietary fibre, derived from the cell wall of baker’s yeast. It is of a pure extraction and does not contain enough yeast protein to cause any allergic reactions (for example, for those who have yeast sensitivities).

Food State Benefits

Choosing Nature's Own
