Does all this really make a difference?
When you take vitamins, minerals, and herbs, you aim to give your body the tools to heal itself and maintain good health.
Unfortunately, many supplements nowadays contain unnecessary and potentially harmful substances, making your body work harder to eliminate them.
You may not realise that they can be full of ‘nasties’ - non-active ingredients - like, fillers, bulking and anti-caking agents, disintegrants and lubricants.
These chemicals are in there to help the manufacturing process flow through the machines.
Good for the machines maybe but certainly not good for your body.
If your body expends energy dealing with these substances, it may divert energy from other areas essential for maintaining or restoring good health, potentially causing additional health problems and low energy.
It's crucial that the vitamins, minerals, and herbs you consume contain only the highest quality ingredients possible and are Free From all nasties.
Not all supplements are made equal, and knowing what to look for is important.
Sounds daunting doesn’t it?
But don’t worry because, if you don’t have the time or inclination, (or a degree in chemistry), to go round reading labels on every pot of vitamins or minerals, Dr Glenville has already done the work and scrutinised the labels for you.
And only when she is completely satisfied that the products are Free From all the ‘nasties’ and in their most bio-available form and at the highest safe dosage level will she award it her ‘Seal of Approval’.’.
You can rest assured that all NHP supplements have Dr Glenville’s exclusive ‘Seal of Approval’ and are safe, effective and healthy for you.
