Viridian Sports Electrolyte Fix Liquid 100ml

Vegan

Sports Electrolyte Fix is an intense electrolyte liquid, sourced from the Great Salt Lake, Utah in the USA.

Electrolytes are mineral salts dissolved in the body’s blood and fluid, they carry an electric charge and therefore can affect the blood’s pH and muscle function. Mineral salts include sodium, chloride, magnesium and potassium and these are involved in balancing the fluid throughout the body including the volume of fluid within the blood. Water movement is controlled by the concentration of electrolytes on either side of the cell membrane.Exercise increases fluid loss through sweat. If this fluid is not replaced then dehydration will occur. Dehydration impairs performance as blood volume decreases and body temperature increases; extra strain will be put on the heart and lungs. The loss of fluid will also lead to an electrolyte imbalance as sodium and potassium are lost through the skin. This imbalance can cause a disruption to the cell’s ability to carry electrical charges.

Viridian’s Sports Electrolyte fix contains all the necessary electrolytes in an ionic form as well as all other minerals naturally present in sea water. Ionic refers to the mineral being ionically charged (attached to a negatively charged mineral complex). It is important that the electrolytes are present in an ionic form as this is necessary for effective hydration. In a study looking into the importance of electrolytes for rehydration, eight participants consumed plain water, and eight participants consumed water plus an electrolyte additive. The addition of an electrolyte mixture to plain water decreased the overall fluid levels required for optimal hydration compared to the plain water group. Supplementing water with electrolytes can therefore minimise carrying excessive weight, possibly reducing fatigue during extended exercise.

This product is comprised of a blend of naturally occurring brine from the Great Salt Lake containing sodium, magnesium, chloride and potassium as well as vast array of other trace and ultra trace elements.

Directions: Take 2.5ml (approx half a teaspoon) to 10ml (approx two teaspoons) daily as required, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Dilute in one litre of water, juice or other cold beverage, or add to food for an electrolyte boost.

Medford Gluco Script

GlucoScript assists in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, and improving insulin sensitivity.

Indications:
• Insulin resistance.
• Diabetes.
• Hypoglycaemia.
• Weight management programme.
• Obesity.
• Decrease appetite.
• Metabolic syndrome.
• Anti-oxidant rich formula to protect blood vessels and promote circulation.
• Prevention of cross-linking.

Mode of Action
Calcium AEP lowers the requirement for exogenous insulin in Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 patients and improves the regulation of blood sugar in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 patients. Calcium AEP alleviates some of the complications associated with Diabetes Mellitus such as Diabetic Nephropathy and Diabetic Retinopathy.

Bitter Melon lowers blood glucose without increasing insulin, due to its active constituents charantin and polypeptide-P.

Goat’s Rue (Galega officinalis) has blood sugar lowering activity due to its guanidine content. Guanidine is a substance which decreases blood sugar by decreasing insulin resistance. Goat’s Rue can decrease the formation of advanced glycosylation end products. Galega is the botanical source for the life extension drug metformin (GlucoPhage).

Gymnema sylvestre may regenerate the beta cells that are located within the Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas which are responsible for the production and secretion of insulin. Gymnema sylvestre lowers elevated blood glucose levels, due to the gymnemic acids content of Gymnema sylvestre, which seems to inhibit the absorption of glucose.

Quercetin is a potent antioxidant which helps to suppress the aldose reductase enzyme, which converts blood glucose into sorbitol, which is strongly implicated in the complications of diabetes. Quercetin also enhances insulin secretion and protects the beta cells of the pancreas against damage by free radicals.

NAC is a potent antioxidant and therefore helps to prevent the free radicals-induced destruction of beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 patients. NAC aids in the prevention of diabetic neuropathy in Diabetes Mellitus patients.

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) improves the body’s utilisation of glucose and protects against the development of diabetic neuropathy and other complications of diabetes by inhibiting the glycosylation of proteins. Most Diabetes Mellitus patients are found to be deficient in Vitamin B6.

Cinnamon extract acts as an “insulin mimetic”. An insulin mimetic is a substance that has cellular effects similar to insulin itself thereby regulating blood glucose levels. Cinnamon helps reduce the rate of gastric emptying and decreases the rise in blood sugar after eating.

Vanadium restores sensitivity of glucose and insulin receptors.

Chromium regulates the body’s blood sugar and inhibits excessive cross-linking. Chromium improves the uptake of glucose into the body’s cells so that it can be metabolised to produce energy via Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Chromium deficiency is an underlying cause of some cases of Diabetes Mellitus. Hypoglycemia can occur as a result of Chromium deficiency and supplemental Chromium alleviates the symptoms of hypoglycemia.

Recommended Dosage:
ADULTS take 1 capsule 3 times a day with meals.
CHILDREN take 1 capsule 2 times a day with meals.

Use as directed, or as prescribed by your doctor. Not advised while pregnant or breastfeeding, without consulting a doctor.

Medford Cramp Script

Protects and supports muscles and nerves, while increasing cellular energy. Beneficial for muscle cramps, spasms, muscle fatigue, stamina, strength, neuropathies and restless leg syndrome.

Indications:
• To alleviate muscle spasms and cramps.
• To treat Restless Leg Syndrome.
• Exercise-induced muscle fatigue (reduces lactic acid).
• To improve muscle strength and stamina (especially in elderly patients or children with low muscle tone/ gross motor
development.
• For supporting neuromuscular diseases and disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, neuropathies
(Diabetes), Muscular Dystrophy.
• To improve cellular oxidation and energy.
• To provide heart and coronary support due to the beneficial effects on the myocardium and coronary circulation through promoting muscle contraction, relaxation and rhythmic heartbeat.

Mode of Action
Ca-AEP (Calcium-2-Amino Ethanol Phosphate) enhances the function and structural integrity of cell membranes by improving the electrical conductivity and sensitivity of cell membrane.

Restoring levels of Ca-AEP has been shown to improve membrane integrity and repair cellular neurotransmission and therefore be of benefit to diseases associated with disturbances in cellular membranes, such as:

• Multiple Sclerosis and sclerotic disorders, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Progressive Systemic Sclerosis.

• Inflammatory disorders, including Rheumatoid Arthritis.
• Diabetes, both Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) and Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM).
• Diabetic complications, including Diabetic Nephro- pathy and Retinopathy.
• Osteoporosis.
• Lung diseases, including Asthma, Emphysema as well as other conditions characterized by poor gaseous exchange in the
alveoli.
• Immune disorders such as Sarcoidosis. Magnesium Aspartate and Potassium Aspartate alleviate muscle fatigue and increase
stamina.

Aspartic Acid is a source of energy for the brain and may be of benefit for depressive patients. Aspartic acid also strengthens bones and teeth.

Sodium Bicarbonate is essential for cell respiration. Sodium bicarbonate causes lactic acid to be secreted out of muscle fibers and to be neutralised, thus preventing muscle weakness and fatigue.

L-Carnitine concentrates in skeletal muscle and may increase muscle growth, strength and stamina while decreasing muscle cramps, pain and fatigue, especially in neuromuscular disease.

Taurine facilitates the transport of minerals into and out of the body’s cells. Research shows that Taurine is needed for proper maintenance and functioning of skeletal muscles and that it positively benefits the nervous system. Taurine may improve defects in nerve blood flow, motor nerve conduction velocity and nerve sensory thresholds.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid functions as both a water and fat soluble antioxidant. Alpha-Lipoic Acid protects the nerves from free radical damage and therefore assists in neurological diseases and disorders such as neuropathies. Alpha-Lipoic Acid increases muscle energy due to improved glucose utilisation.

Recommended Dosage:
ADULTS take 1 capsule 3 times a day.
CHILDREN take 1 capsule 1 to 2 times a day.

Use as directed, or as prescribed by your doctor. Not advised while pregnant or breastfeeding, without consulting a doctor.
