| Flax seed oil provides a natural source of essential fatty acids, omega 3 (linolenic acid), omega 6 (linoleic acid) and omega 9 (oleic acid). Essential fatty acids, are exactly that, essential for life and obtainable only through dietary sources. They are the “good fats”. Essential fatty acids have many roles in the body, including as a component of nerves and brain tissues, all other cellular membranes and hormone-like substances called
prostaglandins.

Radiance Glucosamine sulfate is a natural form of highly absorbable glucosamine. Glucosamine is a simple sugar, a monosaccharide with an amino group as part of its structure, in this case it also has a sulphur compound attached. This form increases bioavailability and adds additional sulphur compounds, which are also essential for connective tissue health. Our bodies produce an enzyme that helps convert glucose and glutamine into glucosamine, and glucosamine is used as a precursor substance for the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAG’s) and proteoglycans (PG’s).

| Lack of stomach acidity can be the first stage in a state of ill health. The acid in the stomach must be of sufficient strength to break down food so it can be digested in the small intestine. The acidity of the stomach contents that enters the duodenum (the first part of the intestine) must be sufficient enough to trigger the release of pancreatic enzyme that breakdown other food
groups.

Radiance Silica Complex contains a high potency Horsetail extract with supporting nutrients. The silica in Horsetail is largely in the water-soluble colloidal form enabling easy and quick assimilation by the
body. Silica has been in medical use since the 1800’s. Modern research indicates its use for production of collagen (which is an important part of all connective tissues), and joint
lubrication. Silica promotes wound healing, particularly weepy sores and slow healing skin conditions.

| Iron deficiency is a common problem, especially for women. Regular to heavy menstruation, strenuous exercise, vegan or vegetarian diet and poor digestion can all lead to iron deficiency. The major function of iron is to combine with protein and copper in making haemoglobin, the substance that makes blood red. Haemoglobin transports oxygen in the blood from the lungs to all
tissues.

Radiance Joint Connection consists of Glucosamine Sulfate, MSM, and Chrondroitin sulfate.Used for the relief of pain associated to connective tissue degeneration. To provide the building blocks from which the body may rebuild and repair damaged connective tissues such as cartilage, ligaments, tendons and spinal discs. Used for arthritic conditions, joint and connective tissue degeneration and injuries. |

| 7-Keto™ is a metabolite of DHEA. DHEA is a pre-hormone produced by the adrenal glands which has many functions including conversion to a number of hormones including oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. 7-Keto™, does not convert to the sex hormones, so it will not over stimulate sex hormone production, it does, however, have many of the other benefits associated to adequate DHEA levels in the body. DHEA levels peak at around 21 years of age, and begin to diminish soon after. Research has linked declining DHEA levels to several age related issues including weight gain, loss of energy, depression, memory loss, reduction in immune function and sex
drive.

Lysine is an essential amino acid released in the breakdown of many common proteins. Lysine cannot be synthesised by the body, thus it must be provided by the diet, but it is found only in small amounts or is lacking in many peoples
diets. L-Lysine helps ensure adequate absorption of calcium and assists in the formation of collagen for bone, cartilage and connective tissues. Lysine strengthens circulation and helps the immune system manufacture antibodies. It also helps control the body’s acid/alkaline balance, influences the pineal and mammary glands and plays a role in gallbladder function. It is necessary for all amino acid assimilation and assists in the storage of fats.

| Lecithin is a phospholipid composed of glycerol, two fatty acids (inositol and choline), and phosphoric acid. Phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl serine are two of the most important phospholipids in the body. Lecithin is a component of every living cell. The highest concentration is in the brain, where it makes up 30% of brain tissue. The heart, liver and kidneys are also high in lecithin. Lecithin has a wide variety of functions in the body including:

Lutein is a member of the carotenoid family of nutrients. Radiance Lutein is XangoldTM, which is specially extracted from marigold
flowers. Several studies have linked lutein to the prevention of both eye and other health disorders. In particular, research has shown that low lutein levels in the body may be a factor in age-related macular degeneration and
cataracts. Lutein protects the retina by blocking harmful blue
light.

Radiance Magnesium Complex is a reverse ratio magnesium / calcium supplement designed to help build magnesium levels in those with signs of deficiency. An increasing amount of evidence now exists, revealing magnesium deficiency as the likely culprit in sudden death from heart attack. Signs of deficiency include: Muscle weakness Muscle cramps, twitches and tremors Muscular tension and pain Nausea Anorexia Co-ordination difficulties and confusion Gastrointestinal disorders Dysmenorrhoea Irregular heart rhythm and coronary spasm Restlessness and Insomnia Depression PMT

Minerals are vital to overall mental and physical well-being. All tissues and internal fluids of living things contain minerals. Their list of functions covers almost every cell and every function in the body, the smallest of deficiencies may lead to dysfunction and dis-ease. It is well known that New Zealand soils are low in several minerals including zinc, boron magnesium and selenium. Most dietary minerals average only between 10 and 15 per cent absorption, and deficiencies are common. Processing also removes or destroys the precious minerals in foods. |
