Mild Iron (Ferrous Bisglycinate) and NEM (Natural Eggshell Membrane)!

Webber Naturals wants you to gain optimum health with these new products!

This week has been a week with a whole slew of new products; there's bound to be something new that can help you reach any health goal! The human body is a powerful and amazing biological system, but to keep it functioning in tip top shape, we need to feed it with as many nutrients as possible. Sometimes our diets and exercise routines just aren't enough!

So today we're talking about our new products, Mild Iron and NEM!

Webber Naturals Mild Iron is uniquely formulated to support your body in making healthy red blood cells. The human body needs to generate a steady supply of new red blood cells to replace old and damaged ones. To do this, it is essential to receive adequate amounts of particular nutrients in the diet, especially iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid.

What makes it unique? This new formula contains vitamin B12, folic acid and ferrous bisglycinate. According to experts, it is a form of iron that is easily absorbed, has fewer side effects and is safer than other forms of supplemental iron.

Webber Naturals NEM, also known as natural eggshell membrane, is an exciting new product that has been shown to provide the fastest clinically proven relief for joint pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis and other joint conditions!

NEM supports joint health by reducing inflammation and protecting against the deterioration of cartilage. NEM is a natural source of type I collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, and calcium — nutrients that are essential for maintaining healthy joints. NEM also supports the body’s production of type II collagen — the main component of cartilage matrix — and the production of synovial fluid to lubricate the joints.

Feel the Sniffles Approaching? Zap Them with Zinc!

Beat the cold bug and support your immune system with Webber Naturals!

It's raining and the daily temperature highs are dropping. Now this feels like fall! I love almost everything about this season: the colours of the leaves, wooly socks, the smells and sounds of crackling wood fires, pumpkin pie! But the one thing I do not love about autumn is the rise and spread of that nasty, common cold!

There may be no cure but I think I've got a few tricks up my sleeve that have always helped me keep that cold at bay...or at least very minor!

Usually the day before I catch a cold, I am sneezing. I'll wake up with a scratchy throat and sneeze all day long. That tickle in my nose just won't go away. When this happens, I immediately reach for my echinacea to give my immune system that extra boost. I bundle up with those wooly socks and wrap a fleece scarf around my neck while I enjoy a hot drink of chamomile with lemon and honey (sometimes ginger). I also try aim for an early night.

But there's more to cold prevention than echinacea. Another key ingredient in the recipe to fighting colds is zinc! Zinc is a mineral that can help boost the immune system and has been shown in studies to help reduce the severity and duration of a cold. You can get your zinc through your diet by eating foods such as oysters, roast beef, pumpkin and squash seeds, toasted wheat germ and peanuts. If you're not a fan of oysters (approx. 25 mg of zinc in every 100 grams) or find that you don't eat many of the zinc-rich foods, you can try zinc supplements (always check with a doctor first). 

So if you feel that sore throat coming along try our Sunkist Zinc Throat Lozenges and give your immune system extra strength. It may not be a cure but I'll take whatever armour I can get in the battle between the body and the cold germ!
