Stressed out? Suffering from a chronic disease? Smoke a lot? Looking for healthy glowing skin? Go ahead and try our liposomal supplement. As an essential co-factor in the synthesis of collagen, you need vitamin C to maintain the health and integrity of your connective tissues. Vitamin C also protects your cells and tissues from oxidative damage and inflammation. It is also known to increase the production and activity of white blood cells, providing a boost to your immunity. Our product also contains glutathione, also popularly known as the master anti-oxidant of the body. Glutathione also plays a critical role in detoxification process as it binds to different kinds of toxins including alcohol, drugs residues, chemicals and heavy metals, and makes them water soluble. This makes it easier for the body to get rid of these toxic products. In addition, glutathione also recycles other important antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. This adds to the body’s ability to fight free radicals with more vigour. Liposomal supplements are meant to improve the bioavailability and absorption of the nutrients, which are otherwise lost during the digestion process itself. Liposomes protect the enclosed nutrients from bio-degradation, thus offering maximum absorption and health benefits. Supplements manufactured using liposomal technology also have lesser side effects such as bloating and diarrhea. Main uses of Liposomal Vitamin C with Glutathione Reduces inflammation Supports healthy immune function Reduces risk of heart disease Required for optimum eye and skin health Good for joints and muscles Minimizes damage caused by radiation Helps in detoxification from toxins, chemicals and drugs Required for iron absorption Research conducted in Japan revealed that large doses of Vitamin C and other anti-oxidants were capable of reducing DNA damage and the probability of cancer. [1] Vitamin C amplifies the ingestion of polysaccharides from Reishi. Polysaccharides are one of the most plentiful bioactive substances contained in Reishi and are liable for various advantages, consisting of its anti-oxidant and immune-regulating characteristics. Combining Reishi with meals that are rich in Vitamin C or Vitamin C supplements will help you maximize the advantages of Reishi supplements. Precautions 1.    Check your ferritin levels before taking a liposomal vitamin C supplement. Increasing your vitamin C intake may increase your iron levels, excess of which is not good for your heart. 2.    Pregnant and breastfeeding women should always consult their doctor before use.   References: Yanagisawa A.

SANUSq: Liposomal Vitamin D3+K2 (MK7) - 60ml For healthy bones and healthy heart Main ingredients: (per 1ml serve): 50 mcg / 2,000 IU Vitamin D3 (from cholecalciferol vegan D3); 45 mcg Vitamin K2 (from all-trans MK7 K2). Refer to label for full list of ingredients. Suggested daily dosage: Take 1ml per day, with meals. Shake the bottle well before each use. Do not use if seal is broken or missing. Storage: Refrigerate after opening and use within 60 days. ------------------------------ Vitamin D3 helps you absorb calcium, required for healthy bones and muscles. Research shows that you need vitamin D for proper functioning of all your organs and tissues. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to a number of health conditions including asthma, allergies, type 2 diabetes, chronic pain, depression, osteoporosis, autoimmune disorders and heart disease. You can get it from sun exposure but modern lifestyle constraints (limited sun exposure due to reduced outdoor time and excessive use of sunscreen) makes it nearly impossible to get healthy vitamin D levels through sun exposure alone. Why do you need vitamin K2 along with vitamin D3? While Vitamin D3 helps absorb calcium, K2 determines where this calcium ends up. How K2 helps is that it activates enzymes that helps calcium enter the bone matrix but also keep the mineral away from soft tissues such as arteries and blood vessels. Calcium build up in arteries increases your risk of heart disease. It is difficult to achieve healthy levels of Vitamin K2 through diet alone as it is mostly found in fermented foods like natto, sauerkraut and some types of cheese especially Gouda and Brie. Main uses of liposomal vitamin D3+K2 Required for healthy bones and muscles Reduces chronic pain Supports heart health and lowers risk of heart disease Strengthens immunity Lowers the risk of autoimmune disorders Reduces inflammation Liposomal vitamin D3+K2 ensures that the nutrients are delivered directly to your cells and tissues without any wastage and degradation during digestion. Liposomal technology improves the bioavailability factor of the nutrients, allowing better absorption and utilization.

Storage: Refrigerate after opening. Use within 60 days. Keep well sealed. ------------------------------ Moringa Oleifera tree is native to the Himalayas in India and Nepal but also grows in other parts of Asia, Africa and South Africa. It has been traditionally used for thousands of years (in both Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine) for its medicinal and nutritional benefits. The leaves of moringa are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and bioactive compounds with extraordinary antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic properties. It goes by many other names, such as the drumstick tree, miracle tree, horseradish tree and ben oil tree. Health Benefits of Moringa Excellent source of nutrition Protects and nourishes tissues Loaded with antioxidant compounds Boosts energy and reduces fatigue Restores hormonal balance Lowers high blood sugar levels Prevents anaemia Good for heart and joints Improves skin and hair health Outstanding nutritional profile Moringa has an incredibly high nutritional content, which means adding a moringa leaf powder supplement is a great way to energize your body and fulfil all its nutritional requirements. [1-2] This powerhouse of nutrition is often recommended as a remedy for malnutrition, and research shows that moringa powder can improve weight in malnourished children. It is a good source of vitamins (A, C, K, B1, B2, B3, B7 and folate), and minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc), making moringa a great supplement for eye health, bone health and immunity. Moringa is also a great source of protein and contains essential amino acids that you need for energy synthesis, protein synthesis and tissue repair. Moringa leaf powder can be a significant addition to a woman’s diet during pregnancy, to meet their increasing nutritional needs. Moringa supplements may also be beneficial for nursing mothers as it increases milk production and improves nutrition in milk. It is also good for menopausal women. [3-4] Moringa provides: More vitamin C than oranges More vitamin A than carrots More calcium than milk More protein than yogurt More potassium than bananas More iron than spinach Health Benefits 1. Rich in antioxidants, lowers inflammation Moringa leaf powder contains high amounts of antioxidant compounds, such as vitamin C, alkaloids, flavonoids (quercetin) and polyphenols (chlorogenic acid). Moringa leaf powder supplement can give your body a much-needed antioxidant boost and help protect your cells and tissue from oxidative damage. Your body naturally produces free radicals when it fights harmful microorganisms and during energy production, but things like pollution, processed food, sun exposure, toxin exposure, stress and chronic disease also create free radicals that leave a trail of destruction and damage throughout the body, causing cellular damage, premature ageing and inflammation. Moringa supplements can help you reduce inflammation and delay premature cellular ageing. 2. Hormonal Health Moringa leaf powder can help restore healthy hormonal balance in the body. It is well-known that your hormonal health is closely linked to your gut health. With its high fibre content, moringa is extremely beneficial for your gut and liver health. It clears constipation, improves absorption of nutrients and keeps your gut bacteria happy. A healthy gut microbiome plays an important role in the production and regulation of hormones. Also, various vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals present in moringa leaf powder can nourish and protect your endocrine system in several ways. 3. May reduce blood sugar levels High blood sugar levels can lead to pre-diabetes and diabetes which increases your risk of many health problems such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and obesity. While more research is required, initial studies show that moringa can be useful in lowering your blood sugar levels. [5] Chlorogenic acid and other compounds in moringa leaf provide natural protection against rising blood sugar levels. 4. Good for heart Moringa is loaded with phytochemicals with impressive antioxidant properties. Antioxidants reduce oxidative stress, which is known for its role in the development of chronic inflammation and heart disease. Moringa also contains high amounts of insoluble fibre that not only contributes towards good digestive health but also improves heart health by removing excess cholesterol from the body. 5. Good for anaemia As an excellent source of iron, moringa leaf powder can be used as an effective remedy to prevent and manage iron-deficiency anaemia. It also contains folate and vitamin C, that helps in iron absorption. Precautions Moringa is generally safe for long-term use and is also well-tolerated in both children and adults. However, we recommend that you first talk to your healthcare provider before taking any kind of dietary supplement. Moringa supplements may lower blood sugar levels, so those taking medications to treat diabetes should avoid taking moringa.

SANUSq Botanique: Lingzhi / Reishi Mushroom 'Ganoderma Lucidum' powdered cracked spore (vegetarian) capsules - 300 mg x 100 Reduces stress and supports overall health Main ingredients: (per capsule) 300 mg Ganoderma lucidum powdered cracked spores. No additives or preservatives. Organically grown in Thailand. Non-GMO product. Refer to label for full list of ingredients.Suggested daily dosage: 3 capsules per day with food and water for at least 3 months or as directed by your healthcare professional. Storage: Refrigerate after opening. Use within 60 days. Keep well sealed. ------------------------------ Lingzhi or Reishi mushroom has amazing healing properties. Also known as the “Mushroom of Immortality”, Lingzhi has long been used as a health restoring herbal tonic in traditional Chinese Medicine. Lingzhi has been traditionally used to relieve fatigue, boost stamina and fight premature ageing and infections. Modern research also validate that the mushroom has amazing anti-inflammatory, stress relieving, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Lingzhi is also known to support liver health, maintain hormonal balance and regulate immune functions. One of the most important feature of Lingzhi mushroom is that it works as an adaptogen. Adaptogens are herbs or natural substances that maintain natural balance in the body and enhances body’s resistance to stress, whether it is emotional, physical mental or environmental. Like all adaptogenic herbs, Lingzhi normalizes the functions of immune system, adrenal glands and all major organ systems including the heart, liver and kidneys. Lingzhi cracked spores powder When the fruiting body of Lingzhi ripens, it releases spores. These small spores contain various bioactive compounds in a powder form. These ingredients are protected by a hard cell wall that doesn’t allow effective absorption of the nutrients. We use highly advanced technology to break the hard shell and crack open the spores to extract the powder without affecting the quality of its bioactive ingredients. This process improves the bioavailability and absorption of the compounds within the spores. One of the most abundant bioactive compounds found in the Lingzhi cracked spores powder is triterpenes(ganoderic acid). These compounds fight free radicals, reduce inflammation and may also prevent cancer cells to grow. Another important function of triterpenes is their ability to reduce allergic responses by inhibiting the releases of histamine. Main Uses of Lingzhi Reishi mushroom Boosts energy Supports immune system Relieves stress and fatigue Supports liver health Reduces symptoms in asthma and bronchitis Research Research conducted in Japan revealed that large doses of Vitamin C and other anti-oxidants were capable of reducing DNA damage and the probability of cancer.

SANUSq Botanique: Shallaki (Boswellia Serrata) in vegetable capsules - 350 mg x 90 Supports bone and joint health Main ingredients: (per capsule) 350 mg organically grown Shallaki in vegetable capsules Suggested daily dosage: 3 capsules per day with food and water for at least 3 months or as directed by your healthcare professional. Storage: Refrigerate after opening. Use within 60 days. Keep well sealed. ------------------------------ Product Description 1,050mg of Shallaki (Boswellia Serata) per serving 90 vegetable capsules per bottle Non-GMO, 100% organic and pesticide free No additives or synthetic ingredients Screw top glass bottle Powerful anti-inflammatory properties What is Shallaki? Shallaki or Boswellia serrata is a tropical plant that grows in India, the Middle East and North Africa. The gum resin of shallaki is highly prized in Ayurveda and is widely used to manage conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, skin diseases, Crohn's disease and other inflammatory conditions. Health Benefits in a Nutshell Reduces pain and inflammation Improves symptoms in osteoarthritis Beneficial in rheumatoid arthritis Reduces symptoms of ulcerative colitis Provides relief in asthma symptoms Health Benefits 1. Reduces symptoms in arthritis Studies show that shallaki reduces symptoms associated with osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis where degradation of cartilage causes pain, stiffness and reduced function in the joints. Shallaki helps reduce these symptoms and improves joint function. It has been found to be particularly useful in the osteoarthritis of the knee, which is mainly treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and specific (COX-2) cyclooxygenase II inhibitors. These drugs cause severe complications including gastrointestinal bleeding with no positive effect on cartilage repair. [1] Boswellic acids, one of the main biologically active ingredients in shallaki, have pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. One such boswellic acid (AKBA) blocks an enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) that creates inflammation in joints and other tissues. It has been found that boswellic acids also reduce degradation of glycosaminoglycans, compounds that reduce inflammation, protect cartilage from breaking down and even promote new cartilage formation. Shallaki also improves symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition where chronic inflammation destroys bone and cartilage and causes pain, swelling and deformity in the joints. 2. Effective in inflammatory bowel disease Boswellic acids in shallaki blocks the production of enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), which is involved in the synthesis of leukotrienes, pro-inflammatory molecules that are directly involved in creating chronic inflammation in the gut. Inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are conventionally treated with the help of corticosteroids, antibiotics, immunosuppressants and biological agents. Prolonged use of these drugs can cause serious side effects. Shallaki, due to the presence of boswellic acids, reduces inflammation in the gut and this makes it useful in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Reduced inflammation leads to better nutrient absorption and reduced risk of gastric ulcers.   3. Reduces symptoms in asthma Leukotrienes also play a critical role in allergies and asthma. These inflammation-promoting molecules are responsible for constricting the airway muscles and triggering asthma attacks. Shallaki with its rich boswellic acid content reduces the production of leukotrienes (by supressing 5-lipoxygenase enzyme).  Shallaki also removes excess mucus from the lungs and provides relief in the symptoms of asthma. Precautions While moderate use of Shallaki supplements is considered safe with no side effects, excessive consumption can cause gastrointestinal problems such as bloating, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea and nausea. It can also cause skin rash. Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for women who are trying to conceive. People who are taking immunosuppressants, or medications for depression and anxiety should avoid shallaki supplements. People with pre-existing medical conditions should consult their healthcare practitioner before taking shallaki supplements in any form. References: 1.    Yu et al.

SANUSq Botanique: Shatavari (Asparagus Racemosus) in vegetable capsules -  400 mg x 90 Helps to maintain women's health Main ingredients: (per capsule)  400 mg organically grown Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) in vegetable capsules Suggested daily dosage: 3 capsules per day with food and water for at least 3 months or as directed by your healthcare professional. Storage: Refrigerate after opening. Use within 60 days. Keep well sealed. ------------------------------ Product Description 1,200mg of Shatavari (Asparagus Racemosus) per serving 90 vegetable capsules per bottle Non-GMO, 100% organic and pesticide free No additives or synthetic ingredients Screw top glass bottle Hormone balancing properties Reduces symptoms of menopause What is Shatavari? Shatavari is a plant found throughout India and its dried roots are used for its medicinal and therapeutic benefits. In ayurvedic system of medicine, it is considered as a general tonic for health, and particularly useful for female reproductive health. The root of shatavari has been traditionally used in inflammation, infectious diseases, gastric ulcers, and in improving women's health and boosting fertility in women. This rejuvenating herb is also known as "Queen of Herbs" and is mostly known for its nourishing role in female's health problems. Shatavari is an adaptogen, meaning it helps manage stress, supports adrenal glands, corrects hormonal imbalances and boosts immunity. One of the most important bioactive compounds present in the roots of shatavari are steroidal saponins (or Shatavarins). Health Benefits in a Nutshell Works as a tonic for women Improves reproductive health in women Maintains healthy hormonal balance Beneficial for menopausal women Helps in endometriosis Improves bone health  Relieves PMS symptoms Regulates periods Helpful in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Reduces stress and anxiety   Health Benefits 1. Improves reproductive health in women Shatavari is known as a female tonic that is very effective in supporting and nourishing the female reproductive system, from puberty to menopause. It has been traditionally used for centuries to maintain hormonal balance across all ages, improve the production of breast milk in lactating women, boost fertility and vitality in women, and reduce symptoms of PMS and menopause. Shatavari powder made from the roots has been found very effective in conditions such as endometriosis (where the tissue lining the uterus starts to grow outside the uterus, causing pain, irregular periods and fertility problems), osteoporosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and infertility. 2. Works as an antioxidant in the body The root of shatavari plant contains a number of antioxidant compounds, such as racemofuran, asparagine A, and racemose. It is believed that any kind of stress (psychological, physical and physiological) increases the production of free radicals, leading to oxidative damage and reproductive health disorders in women including infertility, hormonal imbalances, poor quality of eggs and PCOS. Research suggests that one of the possible mechanisms through which shatavari may work in improving women's reproductive health is by reducing oxidative stress and increasing antioxidant status of the body. [1] 3. Improves lactation Shatavari has galactagogue properties, meaning it can improve the production of breast milk in nursing women. Shatavari contains steroidal saponins and increases the production of the hormone prolactin, properties that are believed to boost breast milk production. 4. Helps in managing menopause symptoms Shatavari is an adaptogen that cools the body and supports hormonal balance in women, both during menstruation and menopause. The herb is rich in phytoestrogens, plant based bioactive compounds with oestrogen like properties. Small scale studies show that shatavari may help manage symptoms, such as hot flushes and night sweats in menopausal women. It supports bone health and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a well-known risk in post-menopausal women. Shatavari also moistens tissues, which helps reduce vaginal dryness in menopausal women.    5. Helpful in menstrual problems Shatavari is cooling and nourishing in nature and balances hormones.  Shatavari supplements are known to be immensely beneficial in reducing the symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as menstrual cramps. Known to improve strength, vitality and fertility in women, shatavari is also useful in irregular periods. It regulates the menstrual cycle, and reduces abnormal or heavy bleeding. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, that makes this plant useful in reducing fatigue and weakness in women. 6. Reducing symptoms of PCOS Shatavari is a very promising herb when it comes to managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and its symptoms such as irregular periods, abnormal blood flow, poor mood and hot flushes. Shatavari corrects hormonal imbalances, the root cause of PCOS. It is even used to prevent the production of new cysts. 7. Nourishes the digestive tract While shatavari is considered to be a nourishing and rejuvenating herb for women's reproductive system, it also soothes the digestive tract. In Ayurveda, shatavari is used to heal gastric ulcers, and research suggests that it increases the secretion of mucus in the stomach and also reduces the levels of acids, reducing acidity in the stomach. Other health benefits May help in alcohol withdrawal Helps reduce anxiety May help reduce kidney stones May help manage type 2 diabetes Reduces hair loss Precautions Shatavari or A. racemosus is known to be completely safe for long-term use. Do not exceed recommended dosage and always consult your healthcare practitioner before you start taking shatavari in any form. Shatavari can cause allergic reactions, such as rash, itchy skin, itchy eyes and trouble breathing, in some people. Those who are allergic to asparagus should avoid taking shatavari supplements.   Anyone taking diuretic medication should avoid taking shatavari supplements. People taking medications or herbal remedies to lower blood sugar should refrain from taking shatavari. Not recommended for those with oestrogen sensitivities. Not recommend for people with asthma and congestion. Shatavari supplements can cause weight gain. References: 1.    Pandey et al.

SANUSq Botanique: Turmeric (Curcuma longa L) in vegetable capsules - 400 mg x 90 Anti Inflammatory Main ingredients: (per capsule)  400 mg organically grown Turmeric with Black pepper + Ginger in vegetable capsules. Refer to label for full list of ingredients. Suggested daily dosage: 3 capsules per day with food and water for at least 3 months or as directed by your healthcare professional. Storage: Refrigerate after opening. Use within 60 days. Keep well sealed. ------------------------------ Product Description 1,200mg of Turmeric (Curcuma Longa L.) per serving 90 vegetable capsules per bottle Non-GMO, 100% organic and pesticide free No additives or synthetic ingredients Screw top glass bottle Highly revered for its powerful medicinal and healing properties What is Turmeric? Turmeric is a well-known spice that comes from the plant Curcuma longa. It is native to India and other countries in Southeast Asia. In India, the root of turmeric has been used for centuries, both as a spice that adds flavour and colour to the food as well as a therapeutic herb used in digestive problems, skin disorders, cold, upper respiratory tract infections, liver disorders, wound healing and arthritis. In Ayurveda, the root of the turmeric plant is highly revered for its powerful medicinal and healing properties. Also known as the golden spice, turmeric is loaded with many bioactive compounds known as curcuminoids that are responsible for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Curcumin is possibly the most researched bioactive compound present in turmeric root and many high-quality studies suggest that curcumin is one of the most effective natural substances that can reduce pain and inflammation in the body, without any adverse effects. In fact, some studies have suggested that turmeric could be as effective as commonly used prescription drugs in some health conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes. Health Benefits of Turmeric in a Nutshell Works as a powerful anti-oxidant Reduces pain and inflammation Improves painful symptoms in arthritis Maintains liver health Reduces heart disease risk Supports brain health Improves skin health Curcumin Health Benefits 1.  Reduces inflammation Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids are mainstay medications to treat pain and inflammation, particularly in conditions such as arthritis, migraine, backpain and inflammatory bowel syndrome. Prolonged use of these medications can cause nausea, upset stomach, stomach ulcers and increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Using them over long-term can increase risk of heart disease and cause damage to liver and kidneys. Studies suggest curcumin can block the synthesis of molecules (such as NF-κB, cytokines and prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation. Research shows that curcumin may be more effective than traditional and commonly used anti-inflammatory medications. A number of human clinical trials have suggested that curcumin's anti-inflammatory properties can be used to manage various conditions where chronic inflammation is the main culprit. These conditions include atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, endothelial dysfunction, and even dementia. [1] 2. Reduces symptoms in arthritis  Curcumin reduces joint inflammation and eases painful symptoms in OA, due to its anti-inflammatory effects. [2] In fact, it has been found to be as effective as ibuprofen in reducing pain and improving joint function in people with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. [3] Curcumin also helps in reducing the symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition where chronic inflammation damages and destroys cartilage and the surrounding tissue. This causes painful joints with swelling, stiffness and reduced mobility. Chronic inflammation of the joint also causes joint injury and deformity. Studies show that curcumin can be safely used to manage symptoms in people with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In fact, it has been found to be more effective than diclofenac in reducing swelling and tenderness in the joints in RA, but with fewer side effects. [4] 3.  Supports respiratory tract health Curcumin is beneficial in cold, cough and flu-like symptoms. It also works as an anti-allergic and is known to reduce symptoms in allergic rhinitis and sinus pain. Curcumin helps manage the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. It is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes obstructed airways with symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, chest tightness, persistent cough and wheezing. It is mainly caused by prolonged exposure to substances that irritate and inflame the lungs, such as cigarette smoke and pollutants in the air. As a powerful anti-inflammatory substance, curcumin reduces inflammation in the airways and may also help relax the tracheal smooth muscle.
