Vitamin D is normally produced in the skin, after exposure to sunlight, or we get it from fish and animal livers. This vitamin is vitally important for the absorption of Calcium, for strong, healthy bones and for building strong muscles, but recent research has also shown it to be of great value in maintaining a healthy immune system. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the most bio-available form of Vitamin D. If also taking a multivitamin, take one capsule a day.
Suggested intake:
Take 1-2 capsules a day.
One capsule typically provides:
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) (500iu) 12.5µg.
No added:
Sugar, salt, starch, soya, wheat, gluten, maize/corn, yeast, lactose, dairy products, artificial preservatives, colours or flavourings.
Vitamin D is an important nutrient for strong bones and for the health of many bodily functions including the immune system. BioCare's liquid Bio-D is a useful way to top up your vitamin D levels. Each drop provides 100 ius of vitamin D3.
Suggested Intake:
One to four drops taken daily in water, juice or milk and with food, or as professionally directed. One or two drops daily from birth dependent on professional advice.

We know that Vitamin K is essential for normal blood clotting and for building and maintaining strong, healthy bones. But latest research suggests that a special form of Vitamin K, called menaquinone-7 (K2), may play an important role in blood vessel and heart health too. By supporting healthy blood vessels, Vitamin K2 may maintain optimum blood circulation – essential for healthy heart function. And K2 is now thought to be even more helpful in contributing to the normal structure of bone than Vitamin K1.
K2 is highly bioavailable and bioactive, and remains in the blood for longer than K1. This means the body's reserves can be built up and tissues supplied continuously. And unlike Vitamin K1, Vitamin K2 is safe to take with blood thinning medication, at the suggested daily intake.
An excellent food source of Vitamin K2 is natto (fermented soya beans) - not a common Western dietary choice. Cheese and curd are also good sources, but people following a heart-health diet are recommended to reduce such foods in their diet, and they're usually high in salt. Higher Nature's Vitamin K2 is sourced from natto and is patent protected.
The optimal daily intake as determined by research is 45µg - more is not necessary.
One tablet typically provides:
45µg Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7).
Suggested intake:
Adults & children over 4 years take 1 tablet a day.
No added:
Sugar, salt, wheat, gluten, yeast, lactose, dairy products, artificial preservatives, colours or flavourings.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans

Suggested intake:
Take 1-3 tablets a day.
One tablet typically provides:
124mg of natural Vitamin E (185iu) and natural mixed tocopherols, plus other phyto-nutrients, including Beta Glucans, naturally found in the rich food base of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture.

Cardi-E is an innovative, patent-pending preparation of vitamin E containing a mixture of natural tocopherols, all of which act as antioxidants. Alpha-tocopherol is more protective against reactive oxygen species, while gamma-tocopherol is more protective against reactive nitrogen species (e.g. peroxynitrite). A combination of natural,mixed tocopherols provides the broadest possible antioxidant protection for fat-soluble molecules and organelles.
Suggested Intake: 1 capsule twice daily with food, or as directed.
Each capsule typically contains:
Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) providing: (120IU) 80 mg, gamma tocopherol 50 mg, delta tocopherol 20 mg, alpha tocopherol 10 mg Rape Seed Oil containing: 400 mg, Oleic Acid 230 mg, LA (linoleic acid) 85 mg, ALA (alpha linolenic acid) 45 mg.
Encapsulated with: Gelatin, Glycerin.
Features:
• Vitamin E protects against damage caused by excess free radicals,
especially in cell membranes and other fat-soluble areas of the body.
• There are three significant types of tocopherols: alpha-, gamma- and
delta-tocopherol.
• Until recently, alpha-tocopherol was considered the only important
type of Vitamin E and almost all Vitamin E preparations contained
just alpha-tocopherol. Recent research has shown that a naturallyoccurring
mixture of tocopherols offers more antioxidant protection
than alpha-tocopherol alone.
• Rape seed oil contains a healthy mixture of omega-3, omega-6 and
omega-9 fatty acids.
Cautions: Consult with a medical doctor if on anti-coagulant medication. Based on preliminary evidence, individuals
taking the drug griseofulvin should consult with a medical doctor before taking vitamin E.
