Sir George Young MP responds to Regulatory Threats to the Natural Health Products Industry - 6th July 2010
This morning we were thrilled to receive a positive letter back from our MP, Sir George Young, after we wrote to him about our concerns with the European Food Supplements Directive, which threatens to restrict freedom of choice for consumers who use natural health supplements. Sir George Young informed our directors that the government would be paying close attention to any developments, and that he would "continue to campaign to save the vitamin and health supplements that people across the UK have been using safely for years." Brilliant! Hopefully the authorities will ease up on the health supplements industry!

Prima Magazine: Become a probiotic pro! With OptiBac For travelling abroad - June 2010
This month's Prima magazine featured '10 Simple Changes to Improve Your Health.' In at number 9 was 'Become a probiotic pro', where the wise Dr Adam Carey said 'Although a general probiotic will help maintain good digestion and immunity, taking one specifically formulated for your needs will be more effective at treating your
particular symptoms.' He talks about our very own Saccharomyces boulardii, 'an exceptionally useful strain of probiotic that has been shown to reduce the incidence of traveller's diarrhoea', before pointing readers towards OptiBac Probiotics For travelling abroad - a unique, strong probiotic blend with Saccharomyces boulardii and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
