Omega 3
Our bodies can’t produce Omega 3, so we have to eat it, ideally in the form of oily fish like sardines. It’s essential for healthy hearts, brains, joints and overall physical and mental health. It’s also great for skin and autoimmune conditions. We generally don’t eat anywhere near enough oily fish, but taking a good quality supplement like Bare Biology gives us what we need.

Probiotics
Our digestive system is central to supporting our health – it contains more than 70 percent of the body’s immune system cells and 10 times more bacteria than we have cells in our whole body. A normal gut contains both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria and an imbalanced gut bacteria has been linked to many diseases. The bacteria line the gut wall and help to stop toxins and harmful substances passing through the gut into the body – so ideally, we need a lot more good than bad.
Taking friendly bacteria in a supplement can help to re-balance the levels of bacteria in the gut. ProVen Probiotics Adult Acidophilus and Bifidus 25 Billion, contains Lab4, the most comprehensively studied group of friendly bacteria in the UK. Shown to colonise the human intestine and to help with bloating, IBS and supporting the gut alongside/following antibiotics, plus boost digestion and immunity.
