INFO: Hillside sanctuary supplements.
Hillside have just started doing a line in supplements for those that
are interested. No B12 sadly :-(( http://www.hillside.org.uk/acatalog/copy_of_Gifts.html For almost twenty years, Wendy Valentine's name has been synonymous with care and concern for horses. In 1995, Wendy formed Hillside Animal Sanctuary after witnessing the plight of the battery hen and has since helped and campaigned for animals in need, particularly those who are so routinely abused in the intensive factory farming industry. Omega 3+6+9 500mg 30 VEGAN CAPSULES vertese™ Omega 3.6.9 capsules provide a balanced range of Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids in an optimal 2:1:1 ratio. Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids are needed by the body to help maintain a healthy heart and joints and to reflect the intake of fatty acids in a typical, healthy heart diet (such as that of Greenland Inuits). Each vertese Omega Oil capsule capsule contains 500mg of a balanced blend of seven plant oils which provide: 200mg of the Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acid, Alpha-Linolenic Acid ( ALA) 100mg of the Omega 6 Essential Fatty Acid, Linoleic Acid (LA) 100mg of the Omega 9 Fatty Acid, Oleic Acid (OL) The capsules are made from cold pressed vegetable oils and contain 100% of the RDA of vitamin E. Vitamin E is an antioxidant which helps protect body fats from the harmful effects of excess free radicals. It can also help to maintain healthy looking skin. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Price: £3.25 Omega 3+6+9 500mg 60 VEGAN CAPSULES Product information above Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Price: £5.50 Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg 30 VEGAN CAPSULES Evening Primrose Oil is extracted from seeds of the plant Oenothera Biennis. Whilst there is a large selection of Evening Primrose Oil supplements on the market, this product boasts a high level (9%) of the essential fatty acid Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). Particularly known as a supplement chosen by women, Evening Primrose Oil can be beneficial in a number of other areas. GLA is known to be involved in the production of a number of short-lived hormone like factors called prostaglandins. These messengers play a major role in many functions such as mediating inflammation, hormonal balance and blood-flow to internal organs. Many skincare creams and products also now contain either Gamma Linolenic Acid or Evening Primrose Oil. This formulation also has added Natural Vitamin E, which can help maintain healthy looking skin and a healthy immune system. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Price: £4.95 Natural Vitamin E 400i.u. 30 VEGAN CAPSULES Vitamin E is found naturally in plant seed oils, cereals, leafy greens, wholemeal bread and egg yolks. The natural form of Vitamin E is D-Alpha Tocopherol, although there are several synthetic versions. Unlike some other supplements, vertese™ Natural Vitamin E 400iu supplements only use Natural Vitamin E, which is approximately twice as effective as synthetic Vitamin E (sometimes called DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate). Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin. It plays an important role in the body, along side Vitamin C, to protect against potentially harmful free radicals which can damage healthy cell membranes. It also helps to maintain healthy skin, which is why it is sometimes found in suntan lotions and moisturisers. Skin damage such as sunburn places a substantial burden on the body's natural resources for repair. It is therefore particularly important to ensure that the body's nutritional requirements are met. Food supplements such as vertese™ Natural Vitamin E 400iu capsules can help to achieve this by supplementing the diet with Vitamin E. Vitamin E plays a role in helping to maintain a healthy heart and circulatory system. Eating a healthy diet which includes whole grain cereals, nuts, and poly-unsaturated oils can help maintain a healthy circulatory system. This vitamin is popular with athletes because of its role in circulation, and the maintaining of healthy blood cells, nerves and muscles, properties which are not just for athletes! Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Price: £4.35 Flaxseed Oil 500mg 30 VEGAN CAPSULES Flaxseed oil is the richest known plant source of the Omega-3 essential fatty acid, Alpha-Linolenic Acid and is a good vegetarian alternative to Cod Liver Oil. Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) is converted in the body to Eicosapeutaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). EPA and DHA are the Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil and cod liver oil. Flaxseed Oil may help maintain healthy joints and in the maintenance of a healthy heart. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Price: £3.95 Omega 3+6+9 CoQ10 with Ginseng 30 VEGAN CAPSULES Your body needs essential Omega 3,6 and 9 fatty acids to help keep working at its best, but it can't make them on its own. Adding a food supplement to your diet is one of the simplest ways to top up on those essential fats. vertese™ Omega Oils 369 capsules contain a selectively balanced blend of fatty acids from plant sources. Fatty acids may help maintain a healthy heart and supple joints. They are also important for healthy brain and eye function. Coenzyme Q10 helps your cells to use oxygen efficiently and to use food to generate energy in muscles. As we age, our natural levels decline and so taking supplements may be a useful way to help maintain levels. Korean Ginseng has been used for thousands of years and is believed to help maintain energy levels and stamina. The capsules used in vertese™ supplements are gelatin free. They have not been tested on animals. The ingredients are derived from vegetarian sources. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Price: £7.45 Veg Glucosamine & Flaxseed Oil 30 VEGAN CAPSULES Glucosamine supplements usually provide Glucosamine in the form of Glucosamine sulphate 2KCL or Glucosamine HCL. This usually comes from an animal source. However, the Glucosamine HCL in vertese™ capsules comes from the fungus aspergillus niger therefore does not come from an animal source. vertese™ Glucosamine HCL and Flaxseed Oil capsules provide a minimum of 250mg of the Omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid and 500mg of Glucosamine HCL. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids which help maintain supple and flexible joints.

Coenzyme Q10 is also an antioxidant. As we age, or whilst taking certain medications, our natural levels may decline and so taking supplements may be a useful way to help maintain optimal levels. Although there is currently no recommended daily allowance for Coenzyme Q10, vertese™ offers a high strength 200mg formulation to help keep you topped up because every cell in your body uses this vital nutrient to help release energy. Vertese™ uses Kaneka's naturally produced Coenzyme Q10 which is identical to the body's own Coenzyme Q10 and so can be used in a natural way.

The Vegetarian Society Awards, are well known to the food industry and public alike. They aim to promote best practice amongst caterers and manufacturers, and highlight the importance of integrity in the vegetarian marketplace. Those companies who have striven to improve the choice and range of vegetarian products and services on offer in the UK, during the last year, will be nominated by the public to win one of 7 prestigious awards. vertese™ vitamin and mineral supplements are an ideal partner for The Vegetarian Society as they exemplify the level of customer care and innovation that The Society knows vegetarians value. vertese™ supplements are made using high-quality soft gel capsule shells, based on potato starch. They look just like the conventional soft gelatin capsules, feel the same, are produced in a similar way and exhibit the same properties, without the gelatin. This allows vegetarians, vegans and, indeed, anyone wanting to avoid animal products, to enjoy the health benefits of plant based oil supplements such as Evening Primrose, Vitamin E, Flaxseed, Omega Oils, Garlic and Multivitamins with Evening Primrose. Ron Stagg, Managing Director of Brunel Healthcare Ltd, which produces the vertese™ range said: " The Vegetarian Society Awards are highly coveted and prized by both caterers, manufacturers and leading retailers. They receive a great deal of positive attention from the public and the media and help to promote the high quality of food and services that vegetarians can and should expect. We are extremely pleased to be associated with this exciting and prestigious event.” Winners of the Awards will be revealed at a magical drinks reception and Awards presentation evening on Thursday 30th October, at London’s Magic Circle.

Established in 1969, it has become the most widely recognised and trusted stamp of vegetarian approval anywhere in the world. The symbol can be found on a huge range of products, including retail food and drinks, catering supplies, household goods, cosmetics and toiletries. The strength of the symbol is based on products meeting the following criteria: Products must be free from all meat, poultry, fish, shellfish and crustacea. Products must not contain slaughter by-products such as gelatine or animal fat. Any eggs used in the product must be free-range. Approval will only be granted to products or ingredients that have not been tested on animals. Approval will not be given to genetically modified ingredients as these are likely to have been tested on animals. The Society also requires that cross contamination does not occur between vegetarian and non-vegetarian products during food production. No other symbol gives consumers such reassurance and inspires the trust that comes from the Vegetarian Society approved symbol. The Vegetarian Society is the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. It offers an independent voice to promote and provide information on vegetarianism. -- My greatest speech to the peasants http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em7LWuP0T7Q pam the SPAMMERS send an email to |
