September 10 – If you’ve ever dared read the labels on the dozens of whey protein supplements on the market, you will have stared  in wonder at the amount of “stuff” in those giant tubs with their testosterone-screaming labels. The sweeteners (often aspartame and acesulfane – uggh), the natural and synthetic flavours (why use both?), all sorts of additives like peptides, creatine, glutamine, gums etc, as well as complicated protein combinations combinations (isolate, concentrate, hydrolized) …

It’s not surprising that those  seeking the benefits of  “clean”, high-quality dairy protein turn away somewhat confused, or intimidated and/or disappointed.

It’s a great pity, because pure, unadulterated whey protein is something we can all benefit from – even lacto-vegetarians. And it’s the reason Health Matrix has now introduced Just Pure Protein, an unsweetened, unflavoured and unadulterated whey protein powder targeted at health-conscious consumers – especially women – who want a clean, wholesome protein supplement without any “extras”.

August 29 2011 – When the Dutch arrived at the Cape in the 17th Century, they found  the San people were using a small succulent as a mood elevator and relaxant. Known as kanna or kougoed, its botanical name is Sceletium Tortuosum.

Sceletium elevates mood and decreases anxiety, stress and tension. The mood-elevating action of Sceletium is caused by a number of alkaloids which interact with the brain’s dopamine and serotonin receptors and it is being used successfully by health professionals with good results for anxiety states and mild to moderate depression.

The plant is not hallucinogenic, and no severe adverse effects have been documented. There have been no confirmed reports of drug interactions. However, because of the neuro-receptor activities of Sceletium, there may be interactions with other pharma drugs.
