Forever Argi+

At a Glance…

• L-Arginine is known as the “Miracle Molecule”
• Proprietary fruit blend adds antioxidant power
• Boosts nitric oxide production

L-Arginine is an amino acid that’s so potent, scientists refer to it as the “Miracle Molecule.” And for good reason, because our bodies convert L-Arginine into nitric oxide, a molecule that helps blood vessels relax and open wide for greater blood flow. Greater blood flow supports many important functions in our body:

• Healthy blood pressure levels
• Overall cardiovascular health
• Immune function
• Muscle growth
• Bone & tissue growth & repair
• Male sexual function
• Fat and glucose metabolism
• Anti-aging hormone production and more

With so many health benefits, it’s no wonder L-Arginine is generating so much excitement. New ARGI+ provides all the power of L-Arginine, plus:

• Pomegranate – well-known for its strong antioxidant properties
• Red Wine Extract – to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels
• And Grape Skin and Berry extracts for cardiovascular and immune system health

Together, these ingredients create a new generation of supplement – one that supports better health throughout your entire body. Just a scoop of ARGI+ mixed with Forever Natural Spring Water or your favorite Aloe drink helps provide a performance boost to every part of you. Add optimal health to your family’s diet with the power of L-Arginine!

Alpha E Factor

At a glance…

• Superb combination of powerful antioxidants
• Enhances elasticity
• Normalises and balances dry skin
• Suitable for sensitive skin
• Suitable for every other situation that requires topical application of natural antioxidants
• Excellent as a shaving barrier

Forever Alpha-E Factor, our skin-replenishing agent, contains rich ingredients designed to enhance your skin as nothing you’ve tried before. It moisturises from within to deliver an ultimate smoothness to your skin for a younger-looking appearance. This light, emollient fluid is fortified with vitamins A, C and E, borage oil and bisabolol. It is an antioxidant fluid designed to combat free radical damage, which causes 80% of skin damage. Alpha-E Factor’s foundation is our pure stabilised aloe vera gel, with all of its benefits.

These special ingredients are uniquely combined into one product:

• Vitamin E (as tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate) – the ‘skin vitamin,’ is an antioxidant that combats free radical damage, softens and moisturises.
• Vitamin A (as retinyl palmitate) – a powerful antioxidant which enhances elasticity whilst moisturising and reducing scaliness
• Vitamin C (as ascorbyl palmitate) antioxidant which enhances elasticity. Also helps inhibit the formation of scar tissue.
• Lecithin – an excellent emollient which improves suppleness of the skin.
• Borage seed oil – provides the skin with gamma linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid) which helps restore moisture.
• Bisabolol – a natural, soothing ingredient with a light citrus aroma, even suitable for sensitive skin.
• Caprylic/capric triglyceride – a natural emollient from coconut oil which moisturises without the heavy, greasy feel of other oils.
• Soya bean oil – A texture-enhancing moisturiser with antioxidant properties.

These natural ingredients are combined with the purest humectants and emulsifiers to create one of the most versatile skin care products ever introduced.

Uses for Forever Alpha-E Factor

• Forever Alpha-E Factor is packaged in a small glass bottle with a dropper. For maximum results, apply as part of your routine after cleansing and toning. A couple of drops should be applied to face and neck then blended in gently with your fingertips.
• Forever Alpha-E Factor is great for shaving, enhancing elasticity, balancing dry skin and optimising protection from environmental factors. Just mix a few drops with Aloe Liquid Soap for a smooth finish. Great if you are prone to razor burn.
• Due to the antioxidant properties, Forever Alpha-E Factor helps soothe minor skin conditions.
• Why not mix with Sonya foundation for a liquid foundation effect? This will look light on the skin while still covering any minor imperfections. Mineral makeup can be applied on top as a blusher, or to give a deeper glow, particularly effective this summer time.
• When pregnant, if stretch marks are starting to appear, massage with Forever Alpha-E Factor.
• Forever Alpha-E Factor contains bisabolol, which is a soothing essential oil so can be applied to nipples during breastfeeding.

Bee Pollen – A Perfect Source Of  Vitamins

Since the earliest times, the bee has fascinated man with its examples of industry and organisation, producing the bountiful gift of pollen.

Bee Pollen is the male fertilising component of plant reproduction. Bees gather and bring it back to their hives for food. Without pollen, plants, trees and flowers could not exist; even we depend on it.

Bee pollen provides a wide spectrum of essential nutrients, which are all required by the human body. These include all the vitamins of the B-complex and to maintain perfect health, vitamin C. Since these are water soluble, they should be taken daily. Bee pollen also contains vitamins D, E, K, and beta-carotene (vitamin A). It is a rich source of numerous minerals, (with calcium and phosphorous in an almost perfect one-to-one ratio), enzymes and co-enzymes, plant-source fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins and 22 amino acids – including all eight ‘essential’ amino acids which the body cannot manufacture for itself. Bee pollen contains more nutrients per calorie than any other nutritional supplement and so it is little wonder that it is cited as one of the most complete foods available. In fact, the human body could survive on bee pollen alone, with just the addition of fibre and water.

The nutrients in bee pollen are readily digestible and easily absorbed by the human body. Many people obtain benefit, including athletes who take it for stamina and energy and to help them maintain good health. The International Olympic Committee does not currently include bee pollen on its list of banned substances meaning it is a compliant supplement for athletes.

So to sum up the reasons why bee pollen is so perfect for us:

It boosts energy and stamina

It assists in maintaining a healthy circulatory, digestive, immune and nervous system

It contains more nutrients per calorie than any other nutritional supplement

It is a multi-vitamin and multi-mineral supplement

It is a naturally high source of zinc and vitamin B6

It contains many trace elements including vitamins, minerals and amino acids

It promotes healthy digestion

All of this makes bee pollen one of the most complete natural nutritional supplements around.

Product Of The Week – Forever Pomesteen Power

Experience the incredible power of antioxidants from pomegranate, mangosteen and other exotic fruits:

• Super antioxidant.
• Unique blend of fruit juices containing vitamins A,C, E and the mineral iron.
• Contains potent antioxidants which helps protect the skin, and are vital to our health and wellbeing .
• Exotic flavour that everyone enjoys.
• Pomegranate juice has more polyphenol antioxidants than red wine, green tea, cranberry juice and orange juice.

Forever Pomesteen Power is one of the most powerful antioxidant dietary supplements on the market today. It combines a unique blend of nature’s most potent super fruits including; pomegranate, mangosteen, pear, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry and grapeseed. Super fruits have received a lot of positive media attention over the years and the term refers to fruit with exceptional nutritional content and strong antioxidant properties. The delicious ingredients in Pomesteen Power synergistically combine to create the ultimate antioxidant cocktail. Pomesteen Power is the perfect accompaniment to any of our four Aloe Drinks, helping keep the immune system strong and healthy.

So why are antioxidants so important? Antioxidants help neutralise free radicals which damage cells within our body and are responsible for an increased risk of contracting many chronic diseases. This is why it is vital that we receive high amounts of antioxidants through our diet. Free radical damage is drastically increased when the body is exposed to pollution, radiation, sunshine and toxic substances all of which can lead to premature ageing.

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) value refers to the methods of measuring antioxidant capacities in food groups and indicates how well antioxidants inhibit free radical damage. All of the ingredients found in Pomesteen Power are near the top of the ORAC value list, particularly pomegranate and mangosteen fruit. Mangosteen is also rich in xanthones. Xanthones are naturally-occurring nutritional compounds associated with super fruits with very high antioxidant levels and benefit the human body in its fight against free radicals, mopping them up as they pass through the body.

Pomegranate juice contains a large amount of polyphenol (highly-concentrated) antioxidants, even more so than green tea, red wine, cranberry juice and orange juice. As well as this pomegranate juice is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, E and the mineral iron and so is a fantastic dietary supplement.

There is no disputing the fact that antioxidants are vital to our health and well-being, so you can confidently recommend Pomesteen Power to all your Customers knowing that just one fluid ounce a day is all they need to help fight free radical damage. Many sports people also benefit from receiving extra antioxidants to speed physical recovery from training and exercise.

This versatile drink can be drunk neat or diluted with water to make a fruity squash that kids will love. Why not try freezing it to make delicious ice-lollies? Pomesteen can be added to plain yogurt, to make a nutritious desert for both adults and children, or add it to champagne to make a healthy Kir Royale – feel the power of nature’s finest super fruits in this tasty nutritious cocktail.

Aloe Gelly

Historically, a major use of Aloe Vera was to soothe minor skin irritations. Many households kept a live aloe, or ‘burn plant’ for first-aid use. Essentially identical to the Aloe Vera’s inner leaf, our 100% stabilized Aloe Vera gel lubricates sensitive tissue safely. Specially prepared for topical application to moisturize, soothe and condition, Aloe Vera Gelly is a thick, translucent gel containing humectants and moisturizers. Readily absorbed by the skin, it soothes without staining clothes.
Aloe Vera Gelly provides temporary relief from minor skin irritations. It can also be used on the skin prior to ultrasonic treatment, or after electrolysis. Hairdressers use the Gelly around the hair line before perming and coloring.
From your bathroom cabinet to the first-aid kit, and from the kitchen to the campsite – Aloe Vera Gelly is an ideal companion for skin that needs a little extra care, and it can help reduce scar formation.

N.B. suitable for people prone to eczema and psoriasis.

Aloe Vera works with the immune system, replenishing nutrients as required. Drinking it daily assists digestion and the absorption of nutrients, adds vitamins, minerals and amino acids to the diet and most importantly promotes a good healthy lifestyle. It contains B12, vital for vegetarians and vegans and folic acid, recommended for women planning a pregnancy. An amazing liquid dietary food!

Aloe Vera has long been known for its great healing properties particularly when applied to the skin for burns, abrasions etc. However, there is far more to it than that. By drinking a good quality aloe vera you can improve your health in so many ways.

Here are ten benefits you can derive from a daily intake of aloe vera:

Great health tonic
Aloe vera contains 19 of the 20 amino acids needed by the body and seven of the eight essential ones that cannot be made by the body. So drinking it enables the body to get its complex enzyme systems working really well. This means that the body can function at its optimum level and as a result you feel great!

Great source of vitamins
Aloe vera contains a large range of vitamins, even some vitamin B12 which is rarely found in plants.Apart from vitamin A, it contains B group vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E and folic acid. Many of these vitamins cannot be stored by the body so they constantly need to be topped up from food. By drinking aloe vera you are obtaining all these vitamins from one source.

Great source of minerals
Aloe vera also contains many of the minerals the body needs to function effectively. These include calcium, sodium, potassium, iron, chromium, magnesium, manganese, copper and zinc. This is because the plant generally grows in areas where the soils contain a plentiful supply of these minerals so its roots absorb them and makes them available to the body in a very digestible form.

Great anti-inflammatory and painkilling properties
Aloe vera has been identified as containing natural anti-inflammatory and painkilling substances. Regular ingestion of aloe vera has been found by many people to help with the symptoms of their inflammatory conditions. This is why it can be very beneficial to those who suffer from disorders of an overactive immune system or autoimmune disorders.

Great for the gut
Aloe vera is very good at stabilising bowel function. It is known as an adaptogen which means that it adapts to the condition it is working with. Thus it is great for dealing with both diarrhoea and constipation, and may be beneficial to sufferers of irritable bowel syndrome.

Great for the digestive system
Aloe vera has been found to cleanse and repair the digestive tract thus enabling it to absorb the nutrients from food more efficiently, particularly protein.

Great for gut flora
Aloe vera naturally balances the inside of the gut, where it helps to regulate the various bacteria and yeasts that live there. If, for example, there was too much yeast in the gut, drinking aloe vera on a regular basis would help to keep this in check.

Great for the skin
Aloe vera is one of the few substances with the natural ability to penetrate down to the dermis layer of the skin, the area where new skin cells are formed. So it is nourishing and moisturising the cells for the 28 days it takes them to reach the skin surface. Consequently, the skin stays healthy and is able to perform its tasks better, as well as looking good.

Great for fibroblasts
Aloe vera increases the activity of fibroblasts, specialised cells found in the skin. They produce fibre such as collagen and elastin which gives the skin it structure and makes it look plump and elastic.

Great for viruses
Aloe vera contains a long-chain sugar or polysaccharide which has the capacity to help defend against attack by various viruses from the common cold to more nasty viruses, and it could help to balance the immune system.
