• Does everybody get enough nutrients from their diet, no matter at what stage of life they are at?

  Generally, we get enough nutrients from our diet. Unfortunately, the food that you eat may not give you enough nutrients for optimum health. Nutrients can be lost from food as a result of decreasing nutritive value of the food chain, poor methods of storage, preparation and cooking. In addition, our busy lifestyle often result in us inclined to eat out, skip meals or grab junk food for convenience. Furthermore, there are some group of people who need more nutrients – children and adolescents; pregnant and breast-feeding women; immobilized; housebound or institutionalized elderly people; vegetarians; smokers; heavy drinkers; chronically-ill people; and those who are on restrictive diet, such as dieters.

  Unless we change our diet and lifestyle, dietary supplements could help you in providing the optimum intake of nutrients.

• Are taking supplements quick fixes? Do I need to take supplements for a short period of time only?

  Taking supplements are not quick fixes. Unlike some medicines, dietary/health supplements are not an instant fix. Our body requires a steady, regular supply of nutrients from the diet and/or supplements to ensure the proper function of our body. In view of our current lifestyle, regular intake of dietary supplements helps us to achieve optimum health. It is recommended to take dietary supplement for 12 weeks to see the results whenever you try a new supplement.

• Do I have to take supplements with food?

  It depends on what type of supplements you are taking. For example, fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids (cod liver oil, Omega-3, EPO) are best absorbed if there is fat present in the diet. Therefore, this type of supplements should be consumed with/after meals. For other type of supplements, consumption with/after food maybe less important. However, for those who have stomach sensitivity, it is recommended to take supplements with/after food. The best advice is to read the product information provided by the manufacturer or retailer and to follow the recommendations. As it is important to take supplements regularly for them to show their effectiveness, getting into the habit of taking them with a meal is more likely to help you take them as part of a regular routine.

• Can I take dietary supplements with coffee or tea?

  It is advisable not to take supplements with coffee or tea. Both coffee and tea contain caffeine and tannins, which could interact with the supplements.

• Would supplements interfere with the effectiveness of my medicines?

  Under most circumstances, supplements would not stop medicines from being effective. However, some medications would interact with nutrients by influencing the absorption or metabolism of the nutrients. Conversely, certain nutrients may have a positive influence in the action of medicine – supporting the effectiveness of the drugs. Therefore, it is advisable to take supplements apart from your medications – at least 2 hours or more in between.

• Are Avalon hair care products suitable for hair that has been coloured or chemically treated?

  All of Avalon shampoos and conditioners will gently cleanse and condition without drying or stripping most natural and colour treated hair. However, because Avalon Chamomile Citrus Shampoo and Conditioner, and Clarifying Lemon Shampoo and Conditioner, have natural highlighting properties, these may not be appropriate for those who colour their hair very dark shades.

  Every shampoo and conditioner is made with advanced blends that are enriched with vitamins, certified organic herbs and pure plant proteins. None of the shampoos or conditioners contain sodium lauryl/laurel sulfates, or other harsh chemicals found in many popular salon brands.

• What does UMF found in Manuka Honey stand for?

  UMF is a short term for Unique Manuka Factor. Only Manuka Honey has UMF value. Manuka Honey is gathered from manuka bushes, which are native plants found in New Zealand and certain parts of Australia. Extensive research has shown that Manuka Honey possesses antibacterial properties and the potency is indicated as UMF value. The highest UMF value is 20+ while the lowest UMF value is 5+. Manuka Honey’s therapeutic value becomes more valuable when the UMF value is 10+ and more.

Nature’s Farm Evening Primrose Oil

I wish to thank Nature’s Farm for their Evening Primrose Oil supplement. I used to suffer from PMS and its side effects. My friends suggested me to try Evening Primrose Oil. Since I was already taking other supplements from Nature’s Farm, I tried Evening Primrose Oil also.

I have been taking Evening Primrose Oil for about 4 months and the side effects have minimized to a great extent. I will continue to take for long term, as I don’t want to suffer its side effects.

Thanks to Nature’s Farm for carrying such a wide range of useful supplements and we can be sure we are receiving the best quality!

Smartfish

My four-year-old girl has been coughing since she turned 2 due to some water retention she had in her lungs when she was born. We have tried countless medicines, doctors and even hospitals but her cough won’t go away.

At days when she coughed non-stop, she would also start to get breathless. I have almost given up on her condition when I was introduced to Smartfish by one of your salesgirl at Jurong Point Branch.

At first, I was not convinced, as I know what the results will turn out to be. But she was very persistent in persuading me to give it a try as she said her daughter benefited from it as well.

So I bought it and just after a week in taking the Smartfish, her coughing improved and its been a few months since she took it and the results now are just unbelievable! She is practically not coughing at all.

She’s more lively and cheerful and true enough as what the salesgirl told me, grateful to her and there is no turning back for me on this product now. My whole family on Nature’s Farm health products and I hope more will be on the same pace as us.
