GOOD NUTRITION, DIET & VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS
Good nutrition and diet are vital in the fight to help keep our bodies fit and healthy. 'What we are is what we eat', so knowing what to eat and what not to eat are essential to a healthy lifestyle. Many of us however lack a healthy diet, are deficient in vitamins, minerals and fish oils, and have allergies which we may know nothing about! Fortunately we are now able to test for both food allergies and mineral deficiencies. This helps us to devise with you a diet suitable for your body and to provide you with vitamin supplements, mineral supplements, and healthy omega fish oils, thus giving you the best chance of staying fit and healthy.
We are able to advise you on a suitable diet and supplements. Some of our more popular supplements are listed below.
We would advise anyone wishing to start taking supplements to have a doctor's consultation before taking supplements.

Food for the brain
Provides key vitamins, phospholipids and amino acids to optimise the function of the brain neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, for healthy concentration, memory and learning. Choline is a precursor of acetylcholine and a vital component of nerve cells. Phosphatidyl serine also plays a role in brain synapses, aiding cognitivefunction. Both support the storage and retrieval of information in the brain; both decline with age. Acetyl-L-Carnitine supports neurological function; it provides the 'acetyl' component to make acetylcholine.
