Ingredients: 100% Pure CO Q10 derived from Rhodobacter
Potential Benefits of CoQ10 Supported by Research
Contributes to normal energy production — CoQ10 is essential for mitochondrial ATP synthesis; supplementation may support cellular energy metabolism, particularly in contexts of declining natural levels.
Provides antioxidant support — Helps protect cells from oxidative stress by boosting total antioxidant capacity and reducing markers like malondialdehyde. Meta-analyses show consistent effects on oxidative stress biomarkers.
May help maintain normal heart function and cardiovascular health markers — Some evidence indicates modest support for blood pressure regulation (e.g., small reductions in systolic BP) and heart failure symptoms when used alongside standard care. Results vary; not a substitute for medical treatment.
Supports aspects of metabolic health — May contribute to healthy lipid profiles (e.g., modest improvements in triglycerides, total/LDL cholesterol, HDL) and glycaemic control (e.g., reductions in fasting glucose/HbA1c) in people with metabolic concerns. Effects are generally small.
May reduce markers of inflammation — Supplementation is associated with lower levels of inflammatory markers like CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 in some meta-analyses, supporting general wellbeing in oxidative/inflammatory contexts.
Other areas of interest — Preliminary research explores benefits for migraine frequency, fertility parameters, and exercise recovery/energy, but evidence is mixed or limited.
This new product is for those that don’t like the powder options available and is comprised of three type of magnesium in an easily digested capsule.

Benefits of magnesium
Supports muscle and nerve function — Helps with muscle relaxation, contraction, and nerve transmission; may reduce muscle cramps, spasms, and soreness (especially after exercise).
Promotes heart health and cardiovascular function — Regulates heart rhythm, supports vasodilation, modestly helps lower blood pressure, and is linked to reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, ischemic heart disease, and sudden cardiac death (stronger evidence from higher dietary intake and serum levels).
Contributes to bone health — Aids in bone formation, calcium absorption, and mineralization; higher intake is associated with better bone density and lower osteoporosis risk, particularly in postmenopausal women.
Helps regulate blood sugar and reduces type 2 diabetes risk — Plays a role in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity; meta-analyses show higher magnesium intake linked to ~15% lower diabetes risk per 100 mg/day increase.
May improve sleep quality — Has a calming effect on the nervous system; often used to support better sleep, especially in forms like magnesium glycinate (evidence is promising but mixed).
Supports mental health and stress reduction — Contributes to reduced anxiety, depression symptoms, and overall nervous system relaxation.
Aids energy production and metabolism — Essential for converting food to energy, protein synthesis, and glycolysis.
Helps relieve constipation — Certain forms act as an osmotic laxative (well-established use in supplements and antacids).
May reduce migraine frequency and severity — Linked to fewer headaches in some studies.
Plays a role in reducing inflammation — Associated with lower markers like CRP in some research.
Supports overall disease prevention — Higher intake correlates with lower risks of chronic conditions like hypertension, certain cardiovascular events, and potentially others (e.g., emerging links to brain health or colorectal cancer modulation via gut bacteria in recent 2025 studies).
How does low thyroid function contribute to magnesium levels?
Reduced intestinal absorption of magnesium — Slowed gut motility (common in hypothyroidism due to low metabolic rate) impairs nutrient uptake from food, including magnesium.
Increased fecal (stool) excretion/loss — Constipation and sluggish digestion lead to more magnesium being lost in stool rather than absorbed.
Overall metabolic inefficiencies and poor nutrient extraction — Low thyroid hormone reduces the efficiency of breaking down and absorbing nutrients from food. This compounds deficiencies in magnesium and other minerals.
Increased cellular/tissue demand or sequestration — Some models suggest altered mitochondrial function and energy production in hypothyroidism tie into magnesium status (magnesium is crucial for ATP synthesis). Certain stress-related or inflammatory aspects in thyroid disease may deplete magnesium stores.
Secondary factors common in hypothyroidism — Chronic stress (elevated cortisol increases magnesium excretion), gut issues (e.g., low stomach acid, dysbiosis), or medications can exacerbate loss, though these aren't direct from the thyroid condition itself

Vitamin K2 Menaquinone 7 50µg 67%
Why combine vitamin D and K2 together
Synergistic improvement in bone mineral density (BMD): Combining vitamin D and K2 increases total BMD (especially in the lumbar spine and hip) more effectively than either vitamin alone, as shown in multiple RCTs and meta-analyses.
Better activation of osteocalcin: Vitamin D boosts production of osteocalcin (a bone-building protein), while K2 fully carboxylates (activates) it, directing calcium into bones and improving bone strength and mineralization.
Reduced bone loss and fracture risk: Postmenopausal women and osteoporosis patients experience slower age-related bone loss, better bone quality, and potentially lower fracture rates with the combination.
Prevention of soft-tissue calcification: Vitamin D mobilises calcium, but K2 activates matrix Gla protein (MGP) to inhibit calcium deposition in arteries and soft tissues, potentially reducing vascular calcification risk.
Improved arterial elasticity and reduced stiffness: Some studies show the combo helps maintain or restore vascular flexibility, particularly in populations with low vitamin status.
Lower levels of inactive (undercarboxylated) proteins: Significantly reduces undercarboxylated osteocalcin and MGP, markers of poor vitamin K status linked to worse bone and heart health.
Potential cardiovascular protection: Observational and some interventional data link adequate levels of both vitamins to lower risks of coronary artery disease, cardiac remodelling, and cardiovascular events.
Enhanced overall calcium metabolism: Optimizes calcium utilisation—promoting deposition in bones/teeth while minimising harmful buildup in arteries and kidneys.
Safe and well-tolerated: Combination supplementation at standard doses (e.g., 1000–5000 IU D3 + 90–180 μg MK-7 daily) shows no significant adverse effects in clinical trials.

Ingredients
K2
Medium chain triglycerides
Vitamin E (d alpha tocopherol) (0.1mg total)
Each drop contains 55 µgs of MK7 equivalent to approximately 60% NRV
What are the benefits of K2 from MK7
Superior bioavailability and longer half-life: MK-7 remains in the bloodstream longer (up to several days) compared to shorter forms like MK-4, allowing for sustained activation of vitamin K-dependent proteins at lower daily doses (typically 90-360 μg).
Supports bone health: Improves bone mineral density (BMD), particularly in the lumbar spine and femoral neck; reduces age-related bone loss; enhances osteocalcin carboxylation; and promotes bone quality and strength in postmenopausal women.
Reduces fracture risk: Associated with lower vertebral fracture rates (up to ~60% reduction in some observational data) and helps preserve trabecular bone microarchitecture.
Cardiovascular benefits: Decreases arterial stiffness, improves vascular elasticity (even reversing age-related stiffening in some trials), and inhibits arterial calcification by activating matrix Gla protein (MGP).
Potential metabolic improvements: May enhance insulin sensitivity, lower HbA1c, and improve glycemic control in certain populations.
Anti-inflammatory and other effects: Shows promise in reducing inflammation, supporting endothelial function, and potential benefits for conditions like peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, and age-related diseases.
Safe at recommended doses: Well-tolerated with no serious adverse effects in clinical trials, and does not interfere with normal coagulation in healthy individuals.
MK-7 achieves greater "effective volume" in the body through prolonged presence and better extrahepatic distribution at nutritional doses (90-360 μg/day). MK-4 requires much higher pharmacological doses (e.g., 15-45 mg/day, often divided) for comparable systemic effects, primarily used in clinical settings for bone health.These differences explain why MK-7 is often favoured for cardiovascular and general long-term benefits, while high-dose MK-4 has strong evidence for bone fracture prevention.

Grass Fed 250 bloom gelatin
500g
Gelatin is rich in specific amino acids derived from collagen, particularly glycine (about 25–35% of its content), proline, and hydroxyproline (together around 20–25%). These make up a large portion of gelatin's unique profile, differing from typical muscle meats (which are higher in other aminos like methionine but lower in glycine).Key Benefits of Glycine (Primary Amino Acid in Gelatin)Glycine is a non-essential amino acid with strong evidence for several health effects, often studied via gelatin, collagen, or direct supplementation:
Improved sleep quality — Glycine helps lower core body temperature and promotes relaxation, leading to faster sleep onset, deeper rest, and better overall sleep without grogginess the next day. Studies show benefits from doses around 3g before bed.
Anti-inflammatory effects — It modulates inflammation across the body, reducing markers like C-reactive protein and protecting against chronic inflammation-related issues.
Joint and connective tissue support — As a building block for collagen, glycine aids in maintaining cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, potentially reducing joint pain and supporting mobility (especially when combined with proline/hydroxyproline).
Skin health and elasticity — Supports collagen synthesis, which can improve skin hydration, reduce wrinkles, and enhance firmness over time.
Gut health — Helps protect and repair the intestinal lining, supporting barrier function and potentially reducing issues like leaky gut or inflammation in the digestive tract.
Metabolic and blood sugar benefits — May improve insulin sensitivity, support liver health (e.g., protecting against fatty liver), and reduce risks tied to metabolic syndrome or diabetes.
Other potential perks — Emerging research links it to heart/liver protection, muscle preservation, reduced oxidative stress, and even geroprotective (anti-aging) effects in models, including extended healthy lifespan and lower biological age markers in some human studies with glycine-rich collagen aminos.

Increased fecal (stool) excretion/loss — Constipation and sluggish digestion lead to more magnesium being lost in stool rather than absorbed.
Overall metabolic inefficiencies and poor nutrient extraction — Low thyroid hormone reduces the efficiency of breaking down and absorbing nutrients from food. This compounds deficiencies in magnesium and other minerals.
Increased cellular/tissue demand or sequestration — Some models suggest altered mitochondrial function and energy production in hypothyroidism tie into magnesium status (magnesium is crucial for ATP synthesis). Certain stress-related or inflammatory aspects in thyroid disease may deplete magnesium stores.
Secondary factors common in hypothyroidism — Chronic stress (elevated cortisol increases magnesium excretion), gut issues (e.g., low stomach acid, dysbiosis), or medications can exacerbate loss, though these aren't direct from the thyroid condition itself
Magnesium bisglycinate (also commonly called magnesium glycinate—the terms are often used interchangeably, though "bisglycinate" technically refers to magnesium chelated with two glycine molecules for potentially even better stability) stands out among magnesium supplement forms due to its unique advantages, particularly for daily use, especially in people with sensitive digestion, hypothyroidism-related depletion concerns, or those seeking benefits like relaxation, sleep, or stress support.Here are the main reasons it's often considered beneficial over other forms (like oxide, citrate, malate, taurate, etc.):
Superior bioavailability and absorption — It's a chelated form (magnesium bound to glycine amino acid), which allows it to be absorbed more efficiently in the intestines, often via amino acid transport pathways rather than just mineral channels. This leads to higher actual magnesium delivery to cells and tissues compared to poorly absorbed forms like magnesium oxide (which has very low bioavailability, often ~4-10%). Studies and reviews (including recent in vitro and animal data up to 2025) consistently show chelated forms like bisglycinate outperforming inorganic ones and even comparing favorably or better than citrate in many contexts.
Gentle on the digestive system / minimal laxative effect — Unlike magnesium citrate or oxide (which draw water into the intestines and commonly cause diarrhea, loose stools, or GI upset at moderate-to-high doses), bisglycinate is non-laxative and well-tolerated even at higher doses. This makes it ideal for long-term supplementation without unwanted bowel changes—especially helpful if hypothyroidism already contributes to constipation or slow gut motility.
Calming effects from glycine — Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and precursor to calming compounds. The extra glycine in bisglycinate (especially true bis form) provides additive benefits for sleep quality, anxiety reduction, stress relief, and nervous system support—beyond what magnesium alone offers. This synergy makes it particularly popular for evening use or mental health/muscle relaxation goals.
Better overall tolerability and fewer side effects — Lower risk of nausea, stomach cramps, or heaviness compared to citrate or oxide. Recent clinical observations (e.g., 2024-2025 trials) highlight its favorable side-effect profile, with some evidence of sustained plasma magnesium increases and good tolerance.
Versatile for general deficiency correction — Effective at raising magnesium levels without the trade-offs of other forms:
Vs. magnesium oxide → Much higher absorption; oxide is cheap but mostly passes through unabsorbed and is mainly for constipation relief.
Vs. magnesium citrate → Similar or slightly better absorption in some studies, but citrate is more laxative-focused; bisglycinate wins for non-GI uses.
Vs. magnesium malate → Malate may help with energy/fibromyalgia, but bisglycinate is gentler and more calming.
Vs. magnesium taurate → Taurate targets heart/blood pressure; bisglycinate is broader and better for sleep/stress.
In short, magnesium bisglycinate is frequently recommended as a "go-to" or "best all-around" form for most people because it maximizes usable magnesium while minimizing downsides. It's especially advantageous if you're addressing symptoms like poor sleep, muscle tension, fatigue, or anxiety—common in hypothyroidism.

I'm a big fan of taurine and that's why I added it the shop. Taurine has many benefits from from improving neurological decline, lowers excess oxidative stress, improves liver function, blood glucose regulation, can help with sleep, cardiac function, blood pressure and so much more. There are many studies and meta analysis (some mentioned on other slides) showing the diverse applications of this "non essential" amino acid which also extend to preventing platelet aggregation, a anti-thrombotic effect.
Vitamin B3 is also known as niacin or nicotinic acid and is one of the 8 water-soluble B vitamins. Nicotinamide is derived from Niacin and is used to make NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADP (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) Niacin can be synthesised in the liver from the amino acid tryptophan.
Contributes to normal psychological function, including aspects of mental performance such as concentration, learning, memory and reasoning. Combined deficiency of niacin and tryptophan cause the symptoms of pellagra. These are dermatitis, diarrhoea, dementia, depression, apathy, headache, fatigue and memory loss.
Contributes to normal energy yielding metabolism – Energy is generally derived from oxidation/reduction (redox) reactions involving the transfer of electrons. The coenzymes NAD and NADP are required by up to 200 enzymes to give and take electrons for these redox reactions. NAD is needed to break down carbohydrates, fats, proteins and alcohol to provide energy and NADP is needed to synthesise fatty acids and cholesterol. NAD and NADP are also key components of pathways that make more ATP (energy molecules) and ADP –ribose transfer reactions. These reactions are involved in the control of cellular processes such as DNA repair and programmed cell death (apoptosis) So niacin contributes to energy and vitality.
Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system
Contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes
Contributes to the maintenance of normal skin
Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
Dietary surveys indicate 15-25% of older adults do not consume enough dietary niacin to meet RDA. Dietary intake decreases between 60-90years
Vitamin B3 is supplied with a scoop of 500mg niacinamide. Much smaller doses can be started by either measuring on a scale or using a 1/5th of the scoop to give 100mgs and should be taken with food.

Theanine is most known for helping you relax. In times of shock or sudden stress we often offer a ‘nice cup of tea’ for a calming effect. Despite containing caffeine, tea is not considered a stimulant and it is thought that the amino acid Theanine in the tea cancels out this stimulating effect, leading it to promote relaxation without causing drowsiness. Theanine is also linked with having effects on attention and cognitive performance together with a synergistic relationship with caffeine. Generally, two to three cups of green tea may contain between 30 and 50 mg of theanine but this depends on the specific leaves being used and the brewing method. Taking Metabolics Theanine supplement delivers a measured dose. This can be used for when you need to relax without drowsiness, ease stress and reduce anxiety. There is also increasing research suggesting L-Theanine promotes improved mental focus and better sleep quality.Providing supplements that are as free as additives, fillers and preservatives is my goal for all the supplements I provideAs a result, this is also means that this product is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
Spoon serving size is 500mg but a starting dose of 100mg is a recommended starting point or according to your health care practitioner.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin found in vegetable oils such as wheat germ, sunflower and safflower oils. Nuts (almonds, peanuts and hazelnuts) and seeds such as sunflower seeds are also high in Vitamin E. Vitamin E is actually a family of 8 forms of vitamin E, alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols. There are 2 types of supplements available, natural, from food source, which is D alpha tocopherol and synthetic, as DL alpha tocopherol. The natural form has greater bioavailability. This Vitamin E is natural with good bioavailability.
Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, so protecting cellular DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative damage. Free radicals are formed during normal metabolism and upon exposure to toxins such as cigarette smoke and heavy metals. Vitamin E functions physiologically as a chain-breaking antioxidant, intercepting free radicals and acting physiologically breaking the chain reaction of lipid destruction
Vitamin E is involved intimately with Vitamin C, vitamin C contributing to the regeneration of the reduced form of Vitamin E
Vitamin E deficiency may be seen in cases of severe nutritional deficiency such as severe malnutrition in eating disorders, or where there are fat malabsorption syndromes as in cystic fibrosis. It is frequently taken as a supplement a good source of antioxidant and added to other oil supplements to prevent rancidity. Balanced Body Mind natural Vitamin E comes in 400mg gelatin capsules.

Natural enzyme production decreases with age. Enzymes are needed to break down proteins, fats, milk, sugars, and carbohydrates from food and toxic compounds in the body. High levels of toxic compounds can contribute to oxidation and inflammation in the body. Deficiency of digestive enzymes may contribute to digestive discomfort including stomach cramps, abdominal bloating, wind and diarrhoea. Hypothyroidism can lower pancreatic enzyme production of digestive enzymes, so this product can act as a useful support until euthyroidism is acheived.
Metabolics Enzymase contains the following ingredients:
Bromelain is derived from pineapple and breaks down proteins. It breaks down protein equally well in either the acid environment of the stomach or the alkaline environment of the small intestine.
Papain is found naturally in pineapple and is also involved in the breakdown of proteins.
Amylase is a natural enzyme in the body that helps break down complex carbohydrates to simple sugars. Alpha Amylase (found in Metabolics Enzymase) breaks down starch to maltose.
Cellulase although not produced naturally in humans, it breaks down the carbohydrate cellulose that is found in plant cell walls. If plant cell walls are broken down, the available nutrients in the cell can be released.
Lactaseis an enzyme required in the small intestine to digest the lactose found in milk and dairy foods, converting it to galactose and glucose. If lactose is not digested it remains in the digestive system where it ferments and causes digestive discomfort. 33% of people are lactose intolerant and 75% of adults have decreased lactose activity. Symptoms of lactose intolerance usually occur within 30mins of ingesting lactose.
Lipase is naturally produced in the mouth and especially the tongue, called lingual lipase. The stomach also makes lipase, as does the pancreas. Pancreatic lipase works in the small intestine. Lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids and triglycerides for absorption.
Protease helps digest proteins into amino acids for absorption.
Enzymase is a natural plant based product, supplying enzymes in a vegetarian capsule.
Recommended dose:1 capsule twice a day before food.
Caution: May not be suitable for people allergic to pineapple. Do not use if you have a known allergy to Aspergillus enzyme proteins. If pregnant or breast feeding or have a known medical condition (especially Galactosemia) consult your health care practitioner before using.
This product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Metabolics Vitamin E Tocotrienols is manufactured with tocotrienols sourced from the Annatto plant in preference to that obtained from palm oil; the annatto plant has the highest concentration of delta and gamma tocotrienol commercially available, containing 90% delta and 10% gamma tocotrienol. Annatto oil is naturally tocopherol free.
Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Oxidative stress occurs when the production of harmful molecules called “free radicals” reach levels beyond the normal protective capacity of our antioxidant defenses.

Theanine is most known for helping you relax. In times of shock or sudden stress we often offer a ‘nice cup of tea’ for a calming effect. Despite containing caffeine, tea is not considered a stimulant and it is thought that the amino acid Theanine in the tea cancels out this stimulating effect, leading it to promote relaxation without causing drowsiness. Theanine is also linked with having effects on attention and cognitive performance together with a synergistic relationship with caffeine. Generally, two to three cups of green tea may contain between 30 and 50 mg of theanine but this depends on the specific leaves being used and the brewing method. Taking Metabolics Theanine supplement delivers a measured dose. This can be used for when you need to relax without drowsiness, ease stress and reduce anxiety. There is also increasing research suggesting L-Theanine promotes improved mental focus and better sleep quality.Providing supplements that are as free as additives, fillers and preservatives is my goal for all the supplements I provideAs a result, this is also means that this product is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
Spoon serving size is 500mg but a starting dose of 100mg is a recommended starting point or according to your health care practitioner.

Female Hormones in Context
“Most of the ideas about health and hormones that are being propagated are fraudulent commercial inventions. In this setting, it is impossible to have any sense of security about the way you are living unless you make the effort to critically examine the claims you hear everywhere.
This book is intended to help you preserve and promote your natural ability to produce an optimal hormone balance. Since the greatest threat for many people is coming from the medical and nutritional industries, it is necessary to learn enough about the hormones and their physiology to be able to critically reject the impostures that are all around us.”

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid naturally found in protein-rich foods (e.g., meat, fish, dairy, legumes, and collagen sources) and produced by the body. It plays roles in protein synthesis (including collagen), neurotransmitter function, glutathione production (an antioxidant), and metabolic processes.
Potential Benefits of Glycine Supported by Research
May contribute to normal sleep quality — Some studies in healthy adults (e.g., 3g before bed) report improved subjective sleep quality, reduced time to fall asleep, and less next-day fatigue, linked to effects on body temperature and slow-wave sleep. Evidence comes from small trials; results vary.

Supports collagen production as a building block — Glycine is abundant in collagen; adequate intake helps maintain normal connective tissue structure (e.g., skin, joints, tendons) as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
May help maintain normal metabolic processes — Human trials suggest potential support for aspects of glucose/insulin regulation and reduced oxidative stress markers in certain groups (e.g., via glutathione precursor role). Larger studies are needed.

Contributes to normal nervous system function — As an inhibitory neurotransmitter and NMDA receptor co-agonist, it has been studied for general neurological support. Positive findings (e.g., in sleep or specific symptom relief) are mainly from clinical populations; evidence in healthy adults is limited.

May support aspects of healthy ageing and inflammation balance — Observational and some intervention data link higher glycine levels or supplementation to antioxidant support, reduced inflammatory markers, and metabolic health indicators in older adults. Long-term preventive effects require further research.
