Ascorbic acid powder 250g
Fast dissolving, fine soluble powder
This pure powdered form is the most economical way to buy vitamin C. It is also the easiest to use as it can be added to drinks where it is fast dissolving. Powders are ideal for those who find tablets difficult to swallow or those who require large amounts of this vitamin. This product has a refreshing sharp taste similar to fruit acids such as lemons and limes, and is ideally suited for fortifying fruit juices and squashes.

Omega 3, 6, and 9 1200mg 120 capsules
Plus Vitamin D 5µg
This formula has exceptional levels of omega 3, 6 and 9 and also includes a full 5µg of vitamin D; a vitamin well known to support the normal function of the immune system. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential in the diet and whilst the omega-9 fatty acids are not classed as essential, a supplement containing the correct balance of all three can be useful for some people.
This unique formulation therefore emphasizes the omega 3s obtained from oily fish (rather than the less well absorbed alpha linoleic acid source used by many companies), with each capsule providing a full 379mg of these essential fatty acids. The level of EPA at 196mg and DHA at 127mg is significantly higher than many other 3, 6 and 9 products that are available. DHA and EPA support the normal function of the heart and in addition, DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision

Curcumin ultra
CurcuWin 500mg providing 100mg curcuminoids. Take 1 tablet daily. 60 tablets
One-a-day Turmeric Extract
Lamberts® Curcumin Ultra contains a technically advanced turmeric extract that has been specially prepared to greatly increase its absorption from the digestive system.
One established problem with curcumin is that it does not easily dissolve in water and it is this feature of the compound that is believed to significantly limit the amount that can be absorbed from our digestive systems. For this reason, we have carefully selected a turmeric extract with ‘enhanced absorption’.
Lamberts® Curcumin Ultra contains CurcuWIN® which is manufactured utilising proprietary UltraSOL™ technology. This is a molecular dispersion process that enhances the bioavailability of poorly absorbed nutrients and increases water dispersibility of fat soluble ingredients such as curcumin.
Importantly, this product provides the curcuminoids in the same profile as they are naturally found in turmeric.
An orange coated oval tablet.
Typically per tablet:
CurcuWIN® 500mg
providing:
Curcuminoids 100mg
Tableted With: Bulking Agents: DiCalcium Phosphate, TriCalcium Phosphate and Povidine, Crosslinked Cellulose Gum, Antioxidant: Mixed Tocopherols, Anti-caking Agents: Magnesium Stearate & Silicon Dioxide, Glazing Agents: Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose & Hydroxypropyl Cellulose, Colours: Titanium Dioxide & Riboflavin, Polypropylene Glycol.

L-Glutamine 500g powder
High quality powder in the natural free-form
Lamberts® powdered L-Glutamine is an easy and affordable way to supplement the diet with this fascinating amino acid as the recommended dosage is often 5grams, an amount that would fill 10 capsules. Lamberts® L-Glutamine is a mild tasting pure powder that can be easily mixed with drinks or sprinkled on food.
Glutamine is a building block for protein and is used to build or preserve muscle or prevent muscle wastage. It is the most abundant naturally occurring non-essential amino acid in the body and it can be derived from glutamic acid, another member of the amino acid family. Both glutamine and glutamic acid can be found in protein-rich foods such as red meat, nuts and fish. Different tissues in the body have different requirements for L-Glutamine and the most eager consumers of glutamine are the cells of intestines, whilst muscles are known to be high producers of L-Glutamine.
Closely related to glutamic acid and gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA).
Recommended for large bowel disorders. (Colitis, Crohns, IBS, Ulcerative colitis)
Do not take if pregnant or breast feeding.
Daily intake: 5-10 grams. Mix into water or fruit juice half hour before food or before bedtime.
