    -  A body can fail
    catastrophically when it is Vit' D3 deficient...yet 'death' is unlikely to be identified as 'from Vit' D3 deficiency'...
    -  So knowing our
    levels is important...  When you receive your result,
    let us know for guidance, especially if aged 60+

  • (Fast 5-day turnaround - kit, analysis & results provided by a NHS Vitamin D laboratory.  They provide a national Vit' D service for the NHS.)

   |   Ingredients 

  • As many of us know, Vit' D is vital for healthy bones at all ages

  • BUT, it's also integral for every cell within the body

  • Vitamin D activates the immune system to work against rogue cells

  • It also it helps the body retain calcium for bone formation & nerve & muscle control.

  • Why 4,000 IU/(100ug)?  When we cannot get UV exposure in the correct ways or during the UV months, research indicates that at lower supplementation levels it's unlikely the body will gain sufficient benefit, especially in the 7 months of weak UV (see below).

  • Try a single tub of 4000 IU strength - you may feel intriguingly 'different'...

Did you know...

  • In the UK around 86% of adults are Vitamin D deficient in the winter & 57% in the summer.  In Scotland it's around 92% and 75%).

  • So when we're Vitamin D3 deficient and/or hidden under clothing (or animal rugs), we're affecting our joints AND full immune system capability at it's source. 
    -  We're disabling our bodies' ability to 'be well'...

  • Do you expose your full back/belly to the UK's sun (April to September) for c20 minutes per week?
    -  If not, the chances of deficiency are huge (as exposing head/arms rarely converts enough Vitamin D3 from the sun's UV rays).

UK Shocker.

  • For 6-7 months of the year (Autumn/Winter), the Great Britain's UV rays are too weak to trigger Vit' D synthesis within the body.

  • So even if you/your animal is totally naked, during these winter months the body CANNOT synthesise Vit' D from our UV/sunshine!

  • Nervous to go in the sun?
    Research demonstrates that Vitamin D deficiency is a greater issue globally than the risk of skin issues due to sunburn & over exposure.  Why?  
    Because the world has become 'paranoid' about any unprotected UV exposure on our skin (even for just 20 minutes per week!)...thus we are starving our bodies of an absolutely critical element for 'good health' (conversion of the sun's UV rays into Vitamin D). 

Great News - Beat Deficiency for FREE!

  • Research confirms the following (using a single 15-20 minute exposure session to sunshine between mid-April and September in the UK;  exposure for any 20 minute session is without suncream;  thereafter use sun protection as normal). 

    • Per session:-
      -  If you only expose your head/arms, your body cannot get enough Vit' D from the UV rays during this session. 
      But, if you can expose your torso (back and/or belly) or legs for a 20 minute session per week (mid-April to September), this can easily deliver around 20,000 IU into your body...and of course the sun is FREE!

Other points

  • Vit' D is the only vitamin you cannot get enough of from a healthy balanced diet.- it needs to be supplemented.

  • In addition to its importance for joints/bones & total immune function, if you're feeling low on energy and/or struggling to recover from illness and/or to simply 'feel healthy', taking 5,000 IU will help the body's Vit D levels.

  • We believe a key element is in the IU quantity (i.e. 4000, rather than say 1000) (see below re Bruce Hollis research)

  • Vit' D issues & rugged horses - we've long had concerns - since 2008 we've been urging awareness - see our Newsletters (Summer 2008 (#3) and Spring 2011 (#14) - click here

  • The BBC, general & medical media are now strongly raising awareness of the dangers of deficiency facing the UK population. 

  • Blood tests for 25-hydroxyvitamin D - ask your doctor for a test (due to budget constraints this service may not be available)   

  • Serum 25 -hydroxyvitamin D levels are reported in blood tests either as nanograms per millilitre (ng/ml) or as nmoles per litre (nmol/L).

  • "Sufficient" levels in the blood are from a minimum of 20ng/ml (50nmol/L) to 32ng/ml (80nmol/L)....

A couple of interesting research articles/studies.

  • Click here (Bruce W Hollis, Medical University of South Carolina;  trial results using supplementation of
    1,000IU/25ug per day resulted with 17.5 nmol/L = classified deficient;
    5,000IU/125ug per day was 70 nmol/L (close to the 80 mentioned earlier) = classified adequate
    10,000IU/250ug per day resulted in 175 nmol/L = classified adequate.

RDA is usually measured in International Units (IU).

  • Human.  Dr Heaney suggests 5000 IU (125ug) per day

Feedback - NHS Thumb-Spot HOME Test Kit

"Out with horses 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year - surely I would not be Vit D3 deficient!  But, the pain in my knees then forced me to give up the horses

& keeps me awake at night.  Finally I did your Vit D Test Kit  - I was so

shocked when the result confirmed I was all but "severely deficient" at 18.1 nmol/L.  So I now take your Vit D3 capsules & so wish I'd done your test way back!"
Mrs GH, Somerset  01.16

 

[NOTE:  NHS classify 50 nmol/L as "adequate"...all results under that are varying degrees of deficiency.]

Green Barley Grass (GBG) is one of Nature's most nutritionally complete & absorbable foods ("super food") - packed with a huge array of minerals & vitamins that are frequently lacking in 'modern' diets.  
 
Yet it's 100% gluten free.
 
Nothing else added - just pure Organic Green Barley Grass.
  • GBG appears to act as a metabolic 'paddle wheel' - helping provide a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation & 'availability' of whatever a body is already eating and/or taking.
  • A powerful yet natural 'cleanser', body-balancer & pH optimiser (key for internal irritations which are often connected to overly acidic guts).
  • Suitable for humans & dogs (horses & cattle).
  • 100% gluten & dairy free;  very low in calories.
  • Rich in Chlorophyll (thus a vibrant green) & smelling of 'freshly cut grass'. 
  • Just mix the powder with water, rich-tasting cordials (or fruit juices),  within smoothies, yoghurt, sprinkle onto salads or on ready-to-eat (cooked) food.  For dogs, just mix with food.
  • Or go for the capsules!
"From a very ill Border Terrier to never being so well, Tippy has your GBG (+ Ruggle-it & Protexin Bio-Kult).  We've never had such efficient & warmly friendly service anywhere!"
Mrs S Wood & Mr J Benton, Stowmarket   09.14
"I started taking GBG due to lack of energy & recurring internal infections despite having a good diet.  Since being on it I'm infection-free & my overall wellbeing is
just so much better"

Mrs S Wells, Dumfries
"Sore legs the morning after a hard cyclosportive [competition cycling] were banished following taking GBG for just 1 month.  Ask Lance!  As good as XXX [performance-affecting product] - but it's natural & legal!  I feel it's detoxing my body, giving it a great feeling of wellbeing"
Mr GR, London
"Took for lack of energy, digestive issues, heartburn, struggling immune system, hair loss, headaches & a low-grade but serious health issue.  Since GBG the headaches aren't so bad, immunity better (not had a cold since started it!), still have digestive issues but a bit better.
Will I continue with GBG?  YES!"

Ms H Wootton, Clitheroe, Lancs
