Modern diets and lifestyles containing processed foods, additives, pollutants, alcohol
and stress may all result in a type of ‘malnutrition’ that prevents us from performing
at our best. Poor diet may result in symptoms such as fatigue, poor digestion, skin
disorders and other ailments. A comprehensive daily multi-supplement is like nutritional
insurance, helping to plug the gaps caused by poor diet and lifestyle choices.

WHY
can joint discomfort
and stiffness happen
with age or injury?
Joint discomfort is often due to joint cartilage
breaking down. Cartilage – the protective shock
absorber between the joints – acts as a smooth,
weight-bearing surface. It cushions the joint,
allowing bones to slip freely over each other; which
provides easy mobility. Unfortunately, with age
or significant wear and tear, the body’s ability to
produce these compounds can decline.
HOW
200 capsules
6499
$
can supplementing with
Glucosamine sulfate &
Chondroitin help?
Joint cartilage is constantly being worn away
and rebuilt again using the body’s natural
stores of Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Sulfur
as building blocks. Supplementing can help to
“restock” the store levels, which then helps the
body to rebuild the damaged, worn cartilage;
thus supporting joint mobility.

Manage Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form
of arthritis with almost half of people
over 60 years of age having the condition.
It is sometimes described as ‘wear and tear’
arthritis but a number of factors are involved. It
occurs as a result of the mechanical breakdown
of the structures of the joints and whilst there
is no cure, there are many ways of managing
the condition. Voltaren Osteo Gel is clinically
proven for temporary relief of local pain and
inflammation associated with mild forms of
osteoarthritis of the knees and fingers.

Rapid relief for
tough pain
An analgesic is a drug that is
capable of temporarily relieving
pain and is essentially a medical term
for a pain-killer. Some analgesics
stop pain centrally by blocking pain
receptors in your brain.
Others work at the site of tissue
injury relieving pain and reducing
the inflammatory response around
the injury. Diclofenac is the active
ingredient in Voltaren Rapid and
works in this way. The dual effect
of diclofenac helps relieve pain
and reduce inflammation.
Voltaren Rapid 25mg is only available
from your trusted pharmacist and
offers a stronger level of pain relief
than many other medicines. It
provides relief in as little as fifteen
minutes and works for up to
eight hours.

Improve the
appearance of scars
Scars are an integral part of the healing process and result
from an over-production of collagen at the wound site.
Scars go through numerous changes as they mature, but they are
permanent in nature. Bio-Oil is formulated to help improve the
appearance of scars, but it can never remove them.
Bio-Oil should be massaged in a circular motion into the scar,
twice daily, for a minimum of 3 months. On new scars,
Bio-Oil should be applied only once the wound has
60ml
healed, and should not be used on broken skin.
Results will vary from individual to individual.

Medicine,
safety and kids
MEDICINES ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF YOUNG CHILDREN
UNDER FIVE BEING ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL FROM POISONING.
Some of these are medicines can be bought from a
range of outlets (such as paracetamol) and others
are prescription medicines (i.e blood pressure
medication or sleeping pills) that may have been
left out by accident.
Treatment tips
Do save vomit, containers
and whatever you suspect has
been swallowed as they could
be needed to help find out
what the poison is.
Do not make the person vomit.
Do not give fluids unless you’re
told to do so by a doctor or the
Poisons Centre.
Do not put a child to bed
unless you have spoken to a
doctor or the Poisons Centre.
Do not rely on first aid
advice on labels, as they are
sometimes incorrect or out
of date.
How to help prevent poisoning in children
• Use child-resistant safety caps, that are designed or constructed
to be difficult for most children aged under 5 to open or be able
to take a toxic amount of the substance but remember
that child-resistant packaging is not completely child-proof
• Keep all potential poisons up high, out of sight, and
well out of reach of children in a locked box
• Install child-proof safety catches on cupboards
• Keep children well supervised when visiting other homes, this
is where poisonings can also occur. And if they’re visiting Nana
and Grandad, make sure all medicines are put out of reach
• Never call medicines "lollies" or encourage regular
use with children when not required
• Talk to your child about the dangers of medicine
and taking too much
• Dispose of unwanted medicines and toxic substances
regularly – talk to the Poisons Centre, your local council or
your local pharmacy team to arrange for their proper disposal
23
What to do if you
suspect your child
has been poisoned
Phone the Poison Centre
immediately, 0800 POISON
for advice.
However, if your child is
severely ill you must ring for
an ambulance immediately
by dialling 111.
Did you know?
More than 350 children are
admitted to New Zealand
hospitals with poisonings
each year and around 80%
of them are children under
the age of five.
