We are delighted to announce that our most popular line of Fish Oil 18/12 1,000 is now available in fish gelatine soft capsules. This new premium line is already in our stock, ready for immediate orders.

Fish Oil remains to be one of the most popular health supplements of all times, with multiple proven health benefits and irrefutable reputation. Delivering Omega 3 fatty acids it has been proven to support our bodies in performing at full capacity and boosting multiple bodily functions. For example DHA contributes to maintaining normal brain functions and is recommended to pregnant women, as it helps with brain and vision development in the foetus and breastfed infants. Moreover, DHA in combination with EPA can help with cardiovascular concerns, as it maintains correct blood pressure and cholesterol levels and contributes to normal heart function.

Now this ultimate health booster is available in premium fish gelatine capsules making it even more appealing to a growing number of consumers. As the latest research shows more and more people look for meat alternatives and try to limit the products containing bovine or porcine in their diets. Recently published “Waitrose Food and Drink Report 2018-2019” shows that over a third of Brits are now opting for a meat-free or reduced-meat diet with 38% of consumers stating they have become vegetarian or vegan for “environmental reasons”.

With the meat-free trend going mainstream, it’s important to stay on top of these changes by offering customers an alternative to staple products they’ve been using for years. At HTC Health we strive to stay at the forefront of product innovation and we aim to offer our customers a broad range of supplements that allows them to keep competitive edge in this busy market. Having noticed a significant increase in the demand for meat-free products, we have decided to introduce a new bovine and procine-free variant of the market’s most popular formulation: Fish Oil 1000mg 18/12 EE.

Delivering 180mg EPA and 120mg DHA each capsule also contains natural Vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant and helps increase the absorption of the beneficial nutrients.

What Makes Our New Fish Oil Line Different?

All the ingredients used in this premium formulation are of top quality and should appeal to even most discerning consumers:

• Fish Oil used in the supplement has been sourced from a Friends of The Sea certified supplier. This protects our oceans with the certification of sustainable seafood sourcing and gives consumers confidence in the quality of the raw materials.
• The glycerine used in the capsule manufacturing process is RSPO Certified. Glycerine is usually produced from palm oil and this RSPO Certification provides assurance to the consumer that the standard of palm oil production is sustainable.
• Vitamin E used in the formula is natural and not synthetic, which is preferable to consumers and presents a higher quality product.
• Bovine and porcine free capsules provide an interesting proposition to customers opting for meat-free diets due to religious or cultural reasons.

Lutein – known as the ultimate ‘Eye Vitamin’ – is now available to all our customers and ready for next day delivery. With a growing market demand for eye supplements, our low MOQs and available vegan option, we reckon that might be the next best seller!

Consumer awareness towards eye health continues to grow steadily, which is why the market for eye health related products is on the rise. The eye supplements accounted for more than 4% of the global supplement launches in 2016. Eye health becomes one of the major concerns in most developed consumer health markets. With current hectic lifestyles and diets often lacking in many crucial nutrients, health supplements provide a convenient solution to all people concerned for their eye health.

Maintaining strong vision, eliminating free radicals and protection from UV radiation are the prominent features enhancing product penetration. Consumers are increasingly more aware also of the potential eye health benefits of the carotenoids – Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These ingredients remain the most popular components of the eye health supplements market.

So what Exactly Is Lutein?

Lutein is one of two major carotenoids found as a color pigment in the human eye (macula and retina). It is thought to function as a light filter, protecting the eye tissues from sunlight damage. Lutein is naturally found in leafy green vegetables, where it also plays a protective role for the plant, protecting it from excessive sun damage. Lutein cannot be made by human body, so as we age, our body’s natural supply decreases, which is why it’s important to either ensure a steady supply of this nutrient from diet or to supplement it.

The link between Lutein and eye health was first reported in 1994 by Dr Johanna Seddon and her co-workers at Harvard University, who found a link between the intake of cartenoid-rich food and a significant reduction in age-related macular degeneration. Researchers from Illinois University claim that Lutein has enough scientific evidence that it should have its own established dietary intake an join the ranks of vitamins, minerals and macro-nutrients which are part of public nutrition policy.

In addition to important eye and vision benefits, lutein acts as an antioxidant, helping protect cells against free radicals and against atherosclerosis (buildup of fatty deposits in arteries), the disease that leads to most heart attacks.

The Lutein active ingredient in our supplements is derived from pure, natural sources – marigold flowers. It contains naturally occurring active carotenoids such as Zeaxanthin, which provides synergistic support.

Our lutein supplements come in different strengths, all available in easy to swallow, rapid release soft capsules. The standard 6mg lutein formulation comes in vegan capsules, manufactured using a patented technology, where the outer soft shell is made of carrageenan algae. The stronger formula, providing 20mg of lutein in each capsule, comes in a traditional softgel.

Despite being a truly ‘trace’ element, Zinc provides a myriad of health benefits and has an immense impact on many bodily functions and organs.

With more than fifteen approved health claims, Zinc is most popular for boosting the immune system, regulating the synthesis of protein and metabolism of nutrients, ensuring normal growth and supporting the senses of smell and taste. It also has a big impact on the hormonal balance, which can have a massive influence on overall health and wellbeing. Acting as an antioxidant, it helps to reinforce capillaries and cell walls, fighting free-radical damage and in result slowing down the aging process and maintaining healthy cells within the cardiovascular system, reducing the risk of heart disease.

Chelating Ingredients For Improved Absorption

Zinc is not easily absorbed, but more can enter the bloodstream when it’s chelated or attached to another substance that is absorbed well. Some of the most popular chelated forms of Zinc include Zinc Gluconate or Zinc Glycinate – both available in our offer. Although some researchers tend to favour specific forms of zinc – ultimately it doesn’t matter which type of chelating agent is used – they all serve one important purpose, which is to improve the ability of zinc to pass through the intestinal wall and be absorbed into the bloodstream. Our chelated Zinc Glycinate tablets are additionally enriched with copper, another essential trace element, which greatly enhances zinc’s immunity boosting properties as well as its ability to maintain healthy skin, hair & nails.

With recommended daily intake starting with as little as 9mg/day, Zinc’s deficiency, although relatively uncommon, can have some very serious consequences and it has been linked to various health conditions such as diabetes, infertility, nerve dysfunction, chronic fatigue syndrome and issues with metabolism. However, with Zinc more doesn’t necessarily means better – when overdosed, Zinc can become toxic, causing nausea and stomach upset, also changing the balance of minerals in the body, potentially causing zinc dominance and copper deficiency.
