Press Release Healthspark Neptune Krill Oil Capsules
September 2, 2008
British Online Health Store, HealthSpark, is the First to Market With British Manufactured Krill Oil Capsules containing Neptune Laboratories Krill Oil Extract
 The concentration of the formula, and the integrity of manufacturing make HealthSpark’s Krill Oil a vital supplement for a wide cross-section of the population  |
St Helier, Jersey (PRWEB) August 21, 2008 — UK online health store, HealthSpark is the first to the market with British manufactured Neptune Laboratories Krill Oil Extract capsules. The recent study from Finland demonstrating that eating oily fish can significantly reduce the risk of memory loss or suffering a stroke has made headlines, but Krill Oil is the ultimate concentration of fish oil owing to its ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorpance Capacity). Krill Oil’s ORAC is 48x higher than fish oil. Healthspark’s website www.healthspark.co.uk is the only retailer and wholesaler of the product.
Krill Oil, logically enough, comes from krill which are small, shrimp-like crustaceans that inhabit the world’s cold ocean areas, primarily the Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans. Healthspark is importing Krill oil Extract from the only patent holding Canadian company “Neptune Laboratories”, and formulating easy to swallow capsules full of this wonderful extract.
Like fish oil, Krill Oil is rich in vitamin E, vitamin D and canthaxanthin, which is like astaxanthin, and is a powerful anti-oxidant. It is the anti-oxidant potency of krill oil that is exciting researchers - when compared to fish oil its ORAC is 48x more potent than fish oil.
A number of studies have shown that Krill Oil is very effective in reducing LDL-cholesterol, raising HDL-cholesterol (as much as 44% in some cases), and lowering blood sugar levels. It has also been shown to be effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis pain and inflammation. A further study has demonstrated reduction in PMS any dysemnorrhea symptoms. It has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of adult ADHD. In all of these studies Krill Oil was double-blind tested against fish oil.
“I’m delighted HealthSpark has brought this unique formulation to market,” said Gerard Alexander (M.I.H.), a leading UK Medical Herbalist. “The concentration of the formula, and the integrity of manufacturing make HealthSpark’s Krill Oil a vital supplement for a wide cross-section of the population”

How to Lose 20 lbs. of Fat in 30 Days… Without Doing Any Exercise
June 26, 2008
We’re very impressed with Tim Ferriss’ article on How to Lose 20 lbs. of Fat in 30 Days… Without Doing Any Exercise. Ferriss gives effective advice on developing a slow-carb diet. We’d also look at slimming aid Hoodia Gordonii or CLA, both which naturally reduce appetite for food. The main points Ferriss covers are:
1. Avoid white carbohydrates
2. Eat the same few meals over and over again
3. Don’t drink calories
4. Take one day off per week
Glucosamine/Chondroitin
June 25, 2008
Glucosamine/Chondroitin is a powerful combination of two molecules that make up the type of cartilage found within joints. Within your joints, cartilage undergoes a continuous process of breakdown and repair. But to be properly repaired, the building blocks of cartilage must be available to the body. The theory is that by using glucosamine and chondroitin joint supplements more of the cartilage building blocks will be available for cartilage repair.
- Glucosamine is a precursor to a molecule called a glycosaminoglycan-this molecule is used in the formation and repair of cartilage.
- Chondroitin is the most abundant glycosaminoglycan in cartilage and is responsible for the resiliency of cartilage.
Treatment with these joint supplements is based on the theory that oral consumption of glucosamine and chondroitin may increase the rate of formation of new cartilage by providing more of the necessary building blocks.

Hoodia Gordonii - South African Cactus Diet
May 16, 2008
Hoodia has no known side-effects, and contains a molecule P57 that fools your brain into believing you are full.
Deep in the Kalahari desert grows a cactus like plant called the “Hoodia”. The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the world’s oldest and most primitive tribes, had been eating the Hoodia for thousands of years, to stave off hunger during long hunting trips.When South African scientists were routinely testing it, they discovered the plant contained a previously unknown molecule, which has since been christened P57.
Hoodia Gordonii is one of the world’s most widely used natural food supplements consumed daily in the form of a capsule, many say it has an excellent effect on suppressing the appetite. Hoodia is available in many forms and is grown outside Africa in places like Amercia and China, although these other specieshave not been tested for P57.
Hoodia species are protected in South Africa by the government and it is cultivated by only licensed farmers under their inspection. Tons of Hoodia is exported out of South Africa to America and the UK in dry powdered form each year, to be processed into capsules for supplemental consumption.
It all started from a BBC 2 documentary in May 2003 please read what the BBC reported on Hoodia back then!
When South African scientists were routinely testing it, they discovered the plant contained a previously unknown molecule, which has since been christened P 57.
The license was sold to a Cambridgeshire bio-pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm, who in turn sold the development and marketing rights to the giant Pfizer Corporation.
Blood sugar
According to the British Heart Foundation 17% of men and 21% of women are obese, while 46% of men and 32% of women are overweight.
So the drug’s marketing potential speaks for itself.
Phytopharm’s Dr Richard Dixey explained how P.57 actually works:
“There is a part of your brain, the hypothalamus. Within that mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar.
“When you eat, blood sugar goes up because of the food, these cells start firing and now you are full.
“What the Hoodia seems to contain is a molecule that is about 10,000 times as active as glucose.
“It goes to the mid-brain and actually makes those nerve cells fire as if you were full. But you have not eaten. Nor do you want to.”
Clinical trials
Dixey organised the first animal trials for Hoodia. Rats, a species that will eat literally anything, stopped eating completely.
When the first human clinical trial was conducted, a morbidly obese group of people were placed in a “phase 1 unit”, a place as close to prison as it gets.
All the volunteers could do all day was read papers, watch television, and eat.
Half were given Hoodia, half placebo. Fifteen days later, the Hoodia group had reduced their calorie intake by 1000 a day.
It was a stunning success.
The cactus test
In order to see for ourselves, we drove into the desert, four hours north of Capetown in search of the cactus.
Once there, we found an unattractive plant which sprouts about 10 tentacles, and is the size of a long cucumber.
Each tentacle is covered in spikes which need to be carefully peeled.
 The San will finally throw off thousands of years of oppression, poverty, social isolation and discrimination Roger Chennells, lawyer
Inside is a slightly unpleasant-tasting, fleshy plant.
|
At about 1800hrs I ate about half a banana size - and later so did my cameraman.
Soon after, we began the four hour drive back to Capetown.
The plant is said to have a feel-good almost aphrodisiac quality, and I have to say, we felt good.
But more significantly, we did not even think about food. Our brains really were telling us we were full. It was a magnificent deception.
Dinner time came and went. We reached our hotel at about midnight and went to bed without food. And the next day, neither of us wanted nor ate breakfast.
I ate lunch but without appetite and very little pleasure. Partial then full appetite returned slowly after 24 hours.
The future
Mr Chennells is ecstatic:
“The San will finally throw off thousands of years of oppression, poverty, social isolation and discrimination”.
“We will create trust funds with their Hoodia royalties and the children will join South Africa’s middle classes in our lifetime.
“I envisage Hoodia cafes in London and New York, salads will be served and the Hoodia cut like cucumber on to the salad.
“It will need flavouring to counter its unpleasant taste, but if it has no side effects and no cumulative side-effects.”
Unfortunately for the overweight, Hoodia will not be around for several years, the clinical trials still have several years to run.
Do not travel to the Kalahari to steal the plant as it is hard to find and illegal to export. We have a recommendation to buy authentic Hoodia Gordonii 500mg Capsules from healthspark a leading UK supplement and Vitamin brand.
