Zinc Lozenges

60 vegetarian lozenges Item Catalog Number: 01561

Zinc is a mineral that stimulates the activity of approximately 300 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body.1,2 These reactions are essential for the formation of superoxide dismutase, one of the body’s most important free radical scavengers. Zinc also promotes immune function,3-6 taste sensitivity,7-9 protein and DNA synthesis,1,10,11 insulin production,12,13 reproductive organ development and sperm motility.14-16 Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.17-19

Maintaining adequate levels of zinc is equally important to aging adults.20-22 As people grow older, their immune function declines, partly due to the decreasing size and function of the thymus gland. Evidence suggests that zinc may help to maintain healthy function of the thymus gland in elderly people. 23 Scientists have also found evidence that a zinc deficiency in elderly adults may contribute to impaired immune function with aging, or immunosenescence.24-26 These findings suggest that zinc plays a critical role in supporting healthy immune function with age.

Zinc Lozenges provide premium-grade zinc as gluconate and oxide in a pleasant citrus-orange naturally flavored tablet.

LOTUS SHOWER HEAD (silver)
LOTUS SHOWER IS THE SMART DECISION...

What is the secret to having beautiful smooth skin and silky hair after a shower? You could use the best available beauty products, but the results might still be lacking. It all comes down to one thing: water - the essence of life. Unfortunately, water does not always come in its purest form.

Even if your water supply is pure, water slowly corrodes the lead in household plumbing, and that toxic metal can seep into the water. Shower water contains heavy metals, fluoride, chlorine and other chemicals and impurities. By taking a shower, we are contaminating our body through the skin, the largest human organ.The Lotus multiple filtering system corrects the negative effects of hard water. It removes rust and impurities, making water clean, soft and healthier. In addition, its extra vitamin filter containing vitamin C nurtures your skin and gives it that special glow.

• Sediment filters remove heavy metals.
• Vitamin C filter (optional) is a direct antioxidant for healthy and shiny skin and hair.
• Showering with filtered water helps prevent itchy, dull skin and flaky skalps
• The filters save water and at the same time provide three to four times more water pressure thanks to almost 280 micro-holes in the shower head.
• Vitamin filter removes chlorine and other chemicals and pollutants with 99.9% anti-bacterial efficacy, leaving a pleasant and refreshing citrus scent.

Choose the color options of the Lotus hand shower that will match the interior of your bathroom. This intelligent filtering system is good for your health and for the health of our planet. I comes default with a standard filter and if you want the Vitamin C filter you order it separately

Weber Medical Infrared Helmet
Photobiomodulation (PBM) at home - boost your brain
Our brain is constantly working for us. Give it your support with just 30 minutes a day PBM

Recharge Your Brain
Our brain is responsible for most of our vital functions like breathing or heart rate regulation. It also coordinates seemingly basic functions like thinking, talking and solving problems. Even during our sleep when we "shut off", our brain performs thousands of processes and reorganizes the information it has gained during the day. Your brain performs every minute of the day, every day of the year... Why not support your brain in this? After months of research, development and testing our latest innovation is finally available!

320 powerful infrared diodes penetrate the body tissue and stimulate e.g. your microcirculation.

The helmet is as individual as you are!
You can adjust all settings via a touchscreen:
Duration: 0-30 minutes
Frequency: 1 - 20,000 Hz
Intensity: 25, 50 ,75 or 100%
Recommended duration: 20-30 minutes/day

What is transcranial photobimodulation?
Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is the process of delivering light photons through the skull to benefit from its modifying effect1. It is also known as low level laser therapy (tLLLT) and it relies on the use of red/NIR light to stimulate, preserve and regenerate cells and tissues2. The mechanism of action involves photon absorption in the mitochondria (cytochrome c oxidase), and ion channels in cells leading to activation of signaling pathways, up-regulation of transcription factors, and increased expression of protective genes.

Some of the health benefits that tPBM may offer are:

• Improving memory and learning, increasing neuroprogenitor cells, BDNF and synaptogenesis in traumatic brain injury
• Enhancing recovery and reducing disability in stroke
• Modulating neuroinflammation and amyloid-beta plaques in Alzheimer’s disease
• Protecting dopaminergic neurons and reducing motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease
• Alleviating depression and anxiety by modulating serotonin and endorphins
• Improving COVID-19 brain fog and chronic fatigue by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress

tPBM is considered a novel, safe, and easy-to-administer treatment of brain disorders and general well being

Vitamin B12 500 mcg, 100 lozenges

Item Catalog Number: 00361
Vitamin B12 is present in foods of animal origin, including dairy products and eggs. Thus, vegetarians are more susceptible to a dietary deficiency of this important nutrient.232 Likewise, vitamin B12 serum concentrations are reported to be significantly lower in elderly population groups compared to younger groups.233-236 It is estimated that 10% to 30% of individuals over the age of 50 have low stomach acid secretion237,238 which results in decreased bioavailability of vitamin B12 from food. To overcome food-bound vitamin B12 malabsorption problems, the Institute of Medicine recommends that vitamin B12-fortified foods (such as fortified ready-to-eat breakfast cereals) or supplements containing vitamin B12 be used to meet much of the requirement.239 Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, works synergistically with vitamin B6 and folate to regenerate (methylate) the amino acid methionine, which helps to maintain already healthy homocysteine levels within normal range, which is important for heart health.240-243

Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic and inexpensive form of vitamin B12 that is converted in the body to its bioactive forms, methylcobalamin and cobamamide.
