G-ART - The new plant-based Glucosamine supplement!
G-ART - Brown algae, Parsley, Spinach, Acerola Cherries, Ginger, Alfalfa, Cactus
This is a glucosamine supplement - except that it’s made of created-by-God ingredients.
As u can see, there are no chemical names in it, no acids, no preservatives, no flavourings and no animal products in it.. i meant no shark cartilage in it!
Especially good for people who suffer from arthritis, joint pains, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Hello everyone !
Today, I decided to do some “research” on the ingredients of a Vitamin C supplement by a brand off the shelf @ Guardian Pharmacy.
To protect its branding, I shall not disclose any names in my findings.
First of all, take a look at the first sentence:
“Active ingredients per tablet”
What do you understand from it? From my opinion, active ingredients here mean they are, well … “alive”.
Now take a look at the 1st ingredient:
“Vitamin C (from Calcium ascorbate and Ascorbic Acid)” … together, these 2 names make 500 mg.
Now, what is calcium ascorbate and ascorbic acid? According to vitanetonline, Calcium Ascorbate is a buffered salt (mineral) form of the water-soluble antioxidant Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Calcium is reacted with ascorbic acid to buffer the acidic nature of this vitamin, making it more gentle for the special needs of those who may have a sensitive gastrointestinal tract.
Wow… I need to get a mineral salt and then add acid, and then add calcium? That’s a lot of process!
and now the 2nd ingredient : “Bioflavonoids… that makes 25 mg”
Hmm… bioflavonoids are responsible in fruits and flowers for their beautiful colours… but how did they get in here?!
ok now the 3rd ingredient : “Hesperidin… that makes 25 mg”
Alright, wikipedia didn’t say how hesperidin is derived so obviously this ingredient is also extracted from its natural resources.
And do you know what it means? Extraction of vitamins from fruits and vegetables simply means a destruction of the complexity of its natural molecular structures. If the molecules change it means… THE NUTRITIONAL VALUES ALSO CHANGE ! Got it ?!
And now we have to the next ingredient which is:
“rosehips that makes 250mg”
Ok, I don’t deny that rosehips is a fruit of the rose plant… sounds natural eh? think again…
how are the rosehips grown? organic? how did they process the rosehips? in a lab?
How do you know???
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE HAVE COME TO:
“Rutin that makes 50 mg”
According to wikipedia, rutin is a glycoside and glycoside is is a molecule in which a sugar is bound to a non-carbohydrate moiety, usually a small organic molecule.
huh? what the heck is that?!
AND YOU STILL WANT TO POP VITAMIN C PILLS INTO YOUR MOUTH ?!?!
WAKE UP, PEOPLE OF THE EARTH!
why go through the shelves of a pharmacy when you can buy ORANGES AND KIWIS?
why buy a man-made vitamin?
why did we trust in man-made supplements so much?!?!

Omega-3
A seed with amazing life-sustaining ability : Chia Seed
Chia seeds are ideal sources of omega-3 fatty acids. They are perfect examples of what wholesome food can provide for your health and immunity!
Powerful dose of Omega-3 Chia seed’s high level of omega-3 fatty acids is 3 times its omega-6 which is a perfect balance of fatty acids. 66% of the oil in chia seed is ALA (an omega-3), exceptionally high among plants. ** Excellent source of antioxidants** Unlike other omega-3 sources such as fish that has a fishy stench and no antioxidants, chia seed is rich in antioxidants including flavonol glycosides and chorogenic acid, to fight free **radicals and nourish the immune system.
Enhances Cardiovascular Health** Chia seed is cholesterol-free. Regular chia seed consumption can reduce blood pressure and inflammation, lower cardiovascular disease risk, dramatically decrease triacylglycerol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol.
Anti-cancer Omega-3 fatty acids from chia seeds can help to inhibit cancer growth and spread. There is increasing evidence that consuming more omega-3 fatty acids is important for cancer prevention.
