Planet Health appointed new exclusive Lifestream agent in time for The Pharmacy Show 2012
Planet Health, the leading distributor and marketer of innovative premium natural health, skin and hair products from Australia and New Zealand, will be presenting the Lifestream brand of Green Superfood supplements at this year’s Pharmacy Show. The re-launch will include NEW revolutionary advertising, public relations, point of sale and training support.
Available in tablet, capsule and powder form, Lifestream Green Superfoods supplements contain protein, enzymes, fibre, carotenoids and natural healthy plant pigments as well as vitamins and minerals.
At the centre of the range is Lifestream Bioactive Spirulina. Spirulina is a microscopic fresh water plant that contains the highest known concentration of nutrients in any food. It has been growing on earth for 3.5 billion years and has been highly valued for its energy-giving properties by a diverse range of cultures for centuries. Today, those benefits are appreciated by people with busy or stressful lives, sports professionals and enthusiasts, pregnant and breastfeeding women and those feeling run down and exhausted.
Research at the Institute of Human Performance and Rehabilitation in Greece found that spirulina can significantly enhance performance, stamina and post exercise recovery rates. Another study showed that spirulina can hasten the removal of harmful fats from the body after eating.
Master herbalist, acupuncturist, and naturopath, Philip Weeks is a believer of the qualities of Spirulina. “As a practitioner, I see the effects of Spirulina on my own patients, particularly on the immune system and recovery from illness. This has also been demonstrated in studies showing that Spirulina has antiviral properties and enhances immune activity.
More and more is being discovered about certain antioxidants and their role in the prevention of disease.“
Philip continues “Essentially I experience people who eat a good well balanced diet and when I test them still have nutritional deficiencies. To bridge that gap, nutrient dense food sources such as Spirulina are becoming increasing necessary for all of us.
It’s important to choose a high quality strain of Spirulina produced under controlled conditions and I always recommend Lifestream who have been leaders in super food manufacturing since 1980.”
This is an important discovery, particularly for people with conditions associated with hardening of the arteries. Spirulina is also an excellent supplement for people with iron deficiency and low immunity.
Many researchers believe that spirulina may be the perfect food, thanks to its easily absorbed blend of glycogen, iron, phycocyanin, natural proteins, plant pigments, vitamins and minerals. The benefits of combining this superfood with a well balanced diet include short and long term energy increases as well as improved mental clarity and focus.
Lifestream International’s Bioactive Spirulina is grown in a pollution-free environment in the remote Californian desert to ensure its purity and richness of nutrients. Independently analysed, the supplement is free of pesticides, herbicides, irradiation hormones, synthetic additives, added fats, oils starches, fillers or contaminants.
International Dressage Grand Prix rider and coach, Charlie Hutton has been using Lifestream Bioactive Spirulina - for himself and his horses – with enormous success for over two years. He says, ‘Spirulina has been so effective, I have started to give it to my horses and their condition and stamina has changed dramatically. I have seen huge muscle development, a good quality shine in their coats and increased stamina and strength towards exercise. This enables me and my horses to perform at maximum level together’.
Lifestream Bioactive Spirulina, a non-mucous, non-acid forming, high protein food, is low in calories and saturated fat.
