Sea buckthorn is a berry bush found in Asia and Europe that has been used in Asian traditional medicine for more than one thousand years. Modern research has found that sea buckthorn oil is an important source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (particularly Omega 7), which are important structural components of mucous membranes which form the protective lining of internal organs as well as the surface of the eyes and mouth. So, it seems that these little orange berries pack a powerful nutritional...

I have to say, I was really nervous about testing this product. I’ve tried fish oil capsules in the past and just can’t stomach the fishy aftertaste and the smell that can linger for hours after taking them, so despite the great reviews I’ve heard I refused to believe it would taste nice and put off testing this until the very last minute. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I poured the oil onto a teaspoon (the directions advise to take one to three teaspoons daily) as my colleagues giggled...

I really do love this time of year; the trees are turning golden, there’s a sudden chill in the air and - dare I say it - the countdown to Christmas has begun. However, the sudden drop in temperature comes at a price – dry skin. When it comes to my face and body I like to think I have my moisturising routine perfected now, but I must admit that when it comes to my hands I can be less than prepared. Don’t get me wrong, I do own hand creams but I often forget to use them until it’s too late. Our...

I have to admit that until very recently I didn’t know anything about coenzyme Q10, but now that I do I’m ready to shout about it from the rooftops. Coenzyme Q10 (also known as Q10 or ubiquinone) is a vitamin-like substance that plays a key role in the body’s energy supply mechanism. Although Q10 is produced naturally in the body, levels in vital organs such as the heart peak in our 20s and gradually decrease as we get older, resulting in low energy levels. Q10 levels can also be depleted by...
