Ubiquinol can also boost energy levels, help premature aging and improve memory and brain functions. • Green Protein Powders – Green protein is sourced from protein rich plant sources that assist the body in healing processes. By consuming green protein, the body obtains additional protein in the diet while getting nutrients the way nature intended. It differs to usual protein supplements which are based on dairy or soy protein concentrates because it is based on whole food nutrition such as sprouts and other vegetables. Green protein powders are good for the immune system, weight balance, detoxification and support of pain and cholesterol levels. • Krill Oil – Krill oil is extracted from the shrimp like crustaceans that live in the ocean. Krill oil helps those with high cholesterol problems and arthiritis problems. On the downside, in the natural world there are concerns that the popularity of krill oil could threaten the population of predators such as penguins, seals and whales. • Collagen – A protein group essential to maintaining healthy connective tissues. Widely known and used to maintain firm skin to prevent aging and wrinkles, collagen is useful to other body parts as well. Collagen also gives you healthy and firm skin, healthy hair, stronger nails, and benefits muscles, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. • Larger fish oil capsules and larger pack sizes – Similar to krill oil, fish oil is high in omega 3 which is very important in preventing and managing heart disease. It helps to lower blood pressure, decreases the development of plaque in the arteries, reduces the chance of abnormal heart rhythm, reduces the likelihood of a heart attack and stroke and lowers inflammation. Marg says: A protein rich vegetarian option. The only protein that is alkaline. Gluten free. Easily digested. 4/5 Marg says: A new and popular alternative to Fish Oil Omega-3. While phospholipids are generally more bio-available, there are currently limited studies to support the efficacy of Krill Oil Omega-3 compared to a large number of studies supporting Fish Oil Omega3's efficacy for Joint and heart health. Krill products should always state the source of harvest to ensure manufacturers are protecting sustainability. 3/5 Marg says: Collagen type 1 and 3 supports skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, gums, teeth eyes and blood vessels. When collagen is combined with an antioxidant, it becomes a superb anti-aging supplement. A very yummy liquid collagen + antioxidant product is gaining popularity. 5/5 Marg says: The convenience/value trend for larger capsules and pack sizes is being overtaken by higher strength and quality fish oils with transparently disclosed strengths of EPA and DHA. 2/5 www.h e rmagaz in e .co.n z | 55
