Powerful stuff from Solgar



Solgar have recently added Methylcobalamin to their ever-growing product range and I, for one, can say it is a truly remarkable product.

Solgar Methylcobalamin Nuggets

Methylcobalamin comes from the Cobalamin family (the Vitamin B12 family) and is possibly the most powerful form of Vitamin B12 so far. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in regulating your nervous system. It has been thought that supplementing your diet with Vitamin B12 may help prevent conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Bells Palsy, Pernicious Anaemia and several other medical conditions including depression.

Solgar’s Methylcobalamin nuggets are unique because they are Kosher and suitable for vegetarians. It comes as a pleasant tasting chewable tablet that is designed for better absorption, and in two different strengths to suit the needs of everyone. All Solgar products are available with free delivery at The Health & Beauty Shop.

Breastfeeding information for Medela Breastpumps

We at the The Health and Beauty Shop regularly get questions about Medela breastpumps…..so we decided to write a breif summary of the various breatspumps available and what the key differences are.

We also thought that we should add a liitle bit about breatsfeeding as we believe many mothers do not apprecaite the importance of this.

The unique properties of breastmilk cannot be replicated from any formulation no matter how many vitamins, minerals and supplements are added to what is basically a chemical formulation.

Breastmilk is the one and only natural, complete and complex nutrition for babies Breastfeeding also promotes an exceptional bond between mother and baby that only a mother can provide. We have had many new mothers telling us of their experiences and the changes they noticed when they started breastfeeding. It is no myth that breastfeeding is the start of a mother-baby bond that lasts for ever.

Medela have developed the breastpumps of choice for new mothers. Any mother that has changed to suing the Medela breastpumps cannot recommend it highly enough. These days, nurses and midwives are recomemnding it too.

Why? What is so special about Medela breastpumps?

The one clear reason that Medela breastpumps are recommended is because of the 2-phase expression system that stimulates milk flow and achieved a faster milk ejection as it mimics the babies natural nursing rythm. Phase 1 stimulates milk production and phase 2 simulates milk sucktion.

The combination of the 2 phases, rapid stimulation and slower expression makes pumping especially gentle, comfortable and efficient.

This 2-phase expressing system was originally only available for hospital grade breastpumps. Their popularity and effectiveness has prompted medela to introoduce this system to other models for all bugets and occasions.

Medela Symphony – for hospitals and home rental use that  gives the mother the most natural of feelings along with unique technical refinement. Ideal for long-term and frequent pumping needs. The Health & Beauty Shop offers rental services of this pump.

Medela Freestyle – This extremely small but high-performance electric breastpump gives a mother more time and flexibility in her everyday life. Ideal for daily and frequent use. Suitable for double pumping. Comes with hands free accessories for comfort and also comes with a bad for easy transport and storage.

Medela Pump In Style – an electric breastpump in a trendy rucksack, suitable for the active and working mother – is fully equipped for expressing – any time, any place, every day. Ideal for frequent and extended use. Suitable for double pumping.

Medela Swing – Most recommended and multi-award winning breastpump. Ideal for occasional or frequent pumping – handy, trendy and quiet. This pump can be used with battery power as well as electric. Swing was awarded ‘Medical Design Excellence 2006′ and a Platinum Award by Baby and Toddler gear magazine Sept 2006.

What’s great is the pump itself is compact, light in weight and is small enough to fit into most handbags. It is Medela’s smallest, lightest single electric pump.

Medela Harmony – A Manual breastpump that is ideal for mothers who only express milk occasionally and do not want to miss the usual feel of their baby. Cheaper option than the electric breast pumps but still has the 2-phase expression system.

Medela products are designed for comfort and convenience but also very practical. Also, all of Medela’s models and accessories are BPA-free and Phthalate-free, so you do need to worry about that.

And Medela products dont just stop there. Medela also do some amazing feeding devices for babies that are challenged. These specilist feeding devices assist in feeding babies that find it difficult or suffer from nipple confusion.

Hope this brief summary is enough to help you decide what is suitable for you.

We at The Health and Beauty Shop pride oursleves in providing new mothers or mums-to-be advice and information about whas suitable and what might work. So fire away and we shall answer your queries as best as we can.

Acai Berries and its antioxidant properties

We always hear the word banded around but what are antioxidants and what role do they play in ones wellbeing?

Antioxidants are substances that are capable of counteracting the damaging, but normal, effects of the physiological process of oxidation in animal tissue. Antioxidants are nutrients (vitamins and minerals) as well as enzymes (proteins in your body that assist in chemical reactions). They are believed to play a role in preventing the development of such chronic diseases as cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, and cataracts.

Antioxidants are present in many foods and teas in varying amounts but one great and natural source of antioxidants is the Acai Berry. There are many Acai berry products on the market. Some are genuine amazon sourced dervitives and many are not.

Solgar’s Acai Berry Extract (http://www.thehealthandbeautyshop.co.uk/solgar-acai-extract-softgel-capsules-60-capsules-2.html) softgels contain extracts of Brazilian Berry native to the Amazon forest and contains natural flavonoids and antioxidants to contribute to your overall well-being.

They are free from sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, gluten and dairy products antioxidants help our bodies fight free radicals, which cause oxidative stress when present.

Acai Berry extract has been used for generations by Amazon tribes due to their belief in the plant’s health benefits. The Acai Berry contains some very potent and important antioxidants such as anthocyanins, proanthocyanins and other bioflavinoids. Anthocyanins are the substance that give fruits and vegetable their deep colours and some of their health benefits. Supplementing diet with Solgar’s Acai Berry Extract may be considered when:

- Improving Immune Function

- Improve Cardiovascular Health and prevent Artherosclerosis

- Reduce Premature Ageing of Skin, Hair and Eyes

Oxidative stress, in excess, negatively impacts many aspects of health, including the
immune system, cardiovascular health, and aging.

Studies indicate that acaí’s antioxidant
properties protect against oxidative stress.

Research also suggests that these attributes
of polyphenols may help support vascular health.

Solgar’s Acai Extract should supplement a good healthy and balanced nutrition diet.
