BEET THE REST!

April 24th, 2012

A product that has fallen under the radar somewhat but has now been lifted to the forefront of effective and innovative stamina building, helped in no small part by an appearance on the TV show “Bang Goes The Theory” (Episode 6 series 6).

The brand itself had been picking up plenty of plaudits as the research conducted on the products suggests that it actually works!  Whats even more impressive is that no matter how hard you look all you will find is natural organic goodness.

THE EGG FACTOR 2012!

March 20th, 2012

 

The vit-shop always loves to indulge in everything chocolaty and so when I was asked to write a blog review on Easter eggs I naturally jumped at the chance!

 

Now I could resort to badly punned, unfunny egg comments but I feel that vit-shop does not need to stoop to such low levels, so you won’t find me ‘cracking’ any ‘yokes’, don’t even try and egg me on! So sit back and find out which product has the egg factor!

Under eggxamination today we have:

Moo Free Organic Dairy Free Milk Chocolate alternative Egg 100g

 

Green & Blacks Thick Shelled Milk Chocolate Egg 180g

Booja-Booja Stem Ginger Truffle Small Easter Egg

 

We gave the vit-shop staff a point’s card and each egg was given marks out of 5 on three categories: Presentation, Value and Taste. Needless to say everyone was very willing to take 2 minutes out of there busy schedule to take part, thanks guys!

Moo Free Organic Dairy Free Milk Chocolate alternative Egg 100g

The moo free egg is ironically free from egg also dairy, gluten and wheat and is directed more towards children or the child within, including on the box a cast of friendly furry characters with there own story.

Difoprev Diabetic Sock

November 14th, 2011

Difoprev Diabetic sock is a sock that lowers the risk of foot amputation. The special sock contains a special moisture-boosting protein that speeds up the repair of damaged skin and prevent ulcers occurring on the feet which can be a major cause of foot amputation. The protein is impregnated into the fabric of the sock and slowly released into the foot helping to repair the damaged skin.

How does Difoprev® work?

Difoprev® is worn just like a normal sock and the foot should be treated for 12 hours per day. During the treatment the glycoprotein is slowly released into the skin. Each Difoprev® liner contains sufficient glycoprotein for a 3 day period giving (36 hours re hydration) per charge.

The new liners in this pack are already FULLY CHARGED with glycoprotein and can be used immediately.

To recharge Difoprev® liners simplymix 1 Difoprev® REFILL capsule with 250ml of warm water and soak for 20minutes. Rinse and dry naturally.

The glycoprotein is “attracted” to the Meryl fabric every time. Each recharge provides a further full 3 days of treatment.

Difoprev® can be recharged as many times as required.

The glycoprotein refill capsules only work with Difoprev® liners. Difoprev® prevents dryness of skin, increases the formation of Type 1 & Type IV Collagen & Elastin and enhances epidermis cell renewal.

For sun protection, Vit-Shop has you covered!

May 12th, 2010

After what seemed to be a never ending winter I think I speak for everyone when I express my relief that the temperatures have finally started to increase and the sun has come out to shine! Us Brits do not need much encouragement to make the most of a sunny day and why should we hold back! For every cloudless day we enjoy there are 2 weeks of rain we have to suffer.

We want all of our customers to go out and indulge in what summer offers without having to worry about the damages that maybe caused by over exposure. We are talking slip, slop, slap, organic style.

Many mainstream sun lotions contain a number of nasty chemicals that can have an adverse effect on our body’s skin. The organic items we have take away the harsh and synthetic ingredients and use natural UV filters to protect against the sun’s rays. We have a range of lotions that offer natural ingredients known for there sun protection value such as shea butter, coconut oil, aloe vera and jojoba oil.

It has been reported that although organic lotions offer a great natural alternative they do not protect as extensively as ordinary lotions, however this opinion is quickly changing with the introduction of higher SPF values for fairer skins and more intense rays.

Here at the vit-shop we have a full range of sun care products to meet everyone’s needs, as well as sun lotion for both kids and adults we have organic after sun lotions and lip balm protector sticks and if sun bathing is not your thing but you are after a healthy glow then we also have self tan lotions available.

All Essential tools for what we hope will be a long overdue hot and dry, sunny summer!

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR INVESTIGATED?

March 19th, 2010

Recently at the vit-shop there has been a sudden surge in the popularity of our apple cider vinegars so we decided to investigate further and find out what all the fuss is about!

Apple cider vinegar contains potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, natural silicon, pectin, and tartaric acids these are all important ingredients that help the body fight unfriendly bacteria and maintain a vital acid alkaline balance.

The properties of apple cider vinegar have been used for centuries and were initially used to help digestion and circulation. However people have also discovered a wide variety of ailments that can be eased by using this versatile product.

Many cases have reported that it has helped with everything from rheumatism, arthritis and weight loss to relieving fatigue, headaches, diarrhoea and insomnia!

There are plenty of testimonies raving of it’s benefits, “just a couple of tea spoons a day before a meal and in a few weeks your half a stone thinner” it also seems to have helped people with arthritis, before taking the item they would find it difficult to open jars and now after taking the apple cider for a few weeks they can open a jar without suffering any pain whatsoever.

One well known supporter of the remedy is explorer Sir Ranulph fiennes, who strongly believes that it has helped him to relieve his aching joints, and lets face it who are we to argue with a guy who has conquered Mount Everest!

It is recommended to take the apple cider vinegar with a drop or two of honey and we do stock products that have that mix already inside, this helps to take the bite off the taste.

In general it seems that this product works to help give you a clean bill of health by providing help to a number of areas throughout the body and it can easily become part of a daily routine, just a couple of tea spoons a day seems to do the trick!

Why not try it today and see how it works for you.
