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 – Absolute Organix has partnered with Germany’s leading organic foods company, Naturata, to introduce a selected range of their products into SA. Products now available include spelt and rice pastas, multigrain crispbreads, cereal coffees and ketchup.
Click here to see the Naturata catalogue (right-click to save pdf file) and to find out more about spelt (an ancient grain dating back to Biblical times) and why the Demeter-standard of bio-dynamic agriculture – where most of Naturata’s ingredients come from – is a superior, sustainable organic farming method which produces crops of outstanding nutritional quality and purity.
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.
Allisone Tissue Salts are now available in 4 new synergy blends from Absolute Organix: Arthro Synergy, Osteo Synergy, Beauty Synergy and Pure Synergy. They are packaged in 60s as well as 180s.
Arising out of 17 years of experience and observation by Allisone founder Alison Effting, the Synergy range is designed for ease of use, each combining several targeted tissue salts for maximum benefit.
Earlier this year, the first two synergy blends, Immuno Synergy and Rescue Synergy, were launched and have been well received. The 4 new products will provide additional, effective, solution-based tissue salt remedies.
Within the Synergy range are the basics of systemic care of the body, and they are ideal to use as tonics to maintain wellness. The full range comprises:
# Arthro Synergy to condition the joints; also facilitates athletic performance and recovery.
# Beauty Synergy for skin, hair and nail care for all ages; harmonises stressed skin; formulated for optimal ageing.
# Immuno Synergy to assist the respiratory and immune systems; the environmental allergies and hayfever blend.
# Osteo Synergy for bones and teeth; for pregnant women, growing children and teething babies as well as older, weaker bones or fractures.
# Pure Synergy to harmonise the liver, pancreas, urinary and digestive system; for breakouts, pimples, acne; and helpful for menopausal changes (Rescue too).
# Rescue Synergy to nourish the nervous system and the heart; de-stressing, centering and revitalising energy – for all ages.
As with all tissue salts, the Synergy blends are safe to use at any stage of life, and in conjunction with any prescribed medication or complementary treatment.
A successful athlete needs to focus on the 3 Pillars of Performance: Nutrition, Training and Recovery. While most athletes excel at training, they often fail to achieve the required balance of all 3 pillars, and usually it is their nutritional strategy (or lack of it) that is the weakest link.
More and more sportsmen and women are now turning to natural nutrition and organic wholefoods to deliver better health, boost performance and improve recovery. This “wellness” approach to performance is in stark contrast to the use of synthetic or highly-processed products which have dominated the sports and fitness scene.
The organic approach just makes good sense. Organic foods free of pesticides and additives provide optimum nutrition because they include metabolic co-factors such as micro-nutrients and anti-oxidants. Products made from organic agriculture using natural enzyme activity, low temperature and chemical-free processing are the richest and purest.
The bottom line: you are what you eat.
Absolute Organix offers superior quality “clean” supplements for those serious about natural health and fitness. These include Omega Sport and our Raw Vegan Protein. (more…)

300 bio-chemical reactions in the body depend on Magnesium; It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and keeps bones strong.
Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Magnesium deficiency has been linked with many health conditions, among them diabetes, asthma, allergies, arthritis, kidney stones, migraines and more.

Excess acidity is a key underlying factor in many chronic ailments, from gout and kidney stones to obesity, arthritic and heart conditions, diabetes and even cancer.
Shifting one’s diet towards more alkaline foods such as green vegetables, increasing one’s intake of pure water and taking mineral supplements are all important strategies for reducing excess acidity and restoring the body’s pH balance.
Health Matrix now makes it even easier to counter excess acidity with our new pH-Plus alkalizing bath soak. pH-Plus combines two of Nature’s most powerful alkaline minerals – magnesium chloride and sodium bicarbonate – with pristine Kalahari crystal salt containing over 60 minerals and trace elements.
Just add 100g (5 scoops) of pH-Plus to a hot bath and soak in it for at least 20 minutes for maximum benefit. The result: a deeply relaxing, alkalizing experience.
Health Matrix pH Plus is exclusively distributed by Absolute Organix. The recommended retail price is R80 inc for a 600g tub, enough for 6 alkalizing baths.
The latest “superfood” buzz these days is around Chia seed, once a staple among the Aztecs of ancient Mexico.
Chia is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and is also an exceptional source of soluble fibre that can be of great help to people with digestive problems. In many ways it is comparable to flax seed and in fact the two are highly synergistic.
Garden of Life, America’s leading wholefood supplement company, brings together all the benefits of organic Chia and Flax seed in SuperSeed, a whole-food formula with ingredients chosen for their ability to support and maintain optimal bowel health and function
SuperSeed is a blend of organic Chia and Flax, sprouted grains and legumes containing both soluble and insoluble fiber plus a broad-spectrum of probiotics.
SuperSeed delivers naturally-occurring Omega-3 fatty acids from Chia and Flax.
It’s super-delicious too – sweetened with stevia and flavoured with organic cinnamon.
SuperSeed and other Garden of Life products are exclusively distributed in South Africa by Absolute Organix.
Our B Grade Certifie
d Organic Maple Syrup from Canada is more than just a deliciously pure, all-natural, silky-sweet treat. It’s also a source of minerals such as manganese, zinc, calcium (15 times that of honey) and potassium.
Harvested from red and black maple trees, our organic Maple Syrup also contains malic acid which boosts metabolism and aids with heavy metal removal.
Grade B Maple Syrup (which is richer in minerals because it is harvested later in the season) is a core ingredient of the popular Master Cleanse detox plan.
It’s available in 500g glass bottles.
Parents of lactose-intolerant infants, or infants with cow’s milk protein allergy, often wonder if their baby might benefit by switching to goat’s milk formula.
While goat’s milk is not lactose-free, it does contain less lactose than cow’s milk and its protein content is less allergenic and more easily digested in a baby’s tummy.
Goat’s milk also has a different fat make-up when compared to cow’s milk, which many babies are more easily able to digest.
Holle, Europe’s leading producer of certified organic infant formulas and baby foods, offers a superior quality organic goat’s milk formula (for infants from six months).
The Holle range is exclusively distributed in SA by Absolute Organix.

We’re often asked about the difference between the various green food powders on the market and how our own product, Garden of Life Perfect Food, stacks up against the competition.
Bottom line is there’s a huge nutritional difference between green foods made from cereal grasses and those made from the juice of these grasses, which might explain why Perfect Food has been the No 1 green food in the US for several years.
In this article, Garden of Life founder Jordan Rubin explores the benefits of green food nutrition and suggests what you should look for in a real green “superfood”.

We’re launching our Omega oils range in new “mini” 250ml bottles at the Natural and Organic Show at the Northgate Dome in Jo’burg this weekend.
Initial feedback from a group of trial customers is that the mini bottles (half the size of our standard 500ml bottles) will be welcomed by consumers.
All four of Absolute Organix’s liquid omegas – Organic Flax, Omega 3:6:9, Omega Sport and Omega Slim - are available in the new mini bottles, which offer a number of benefits:
Fresher: We believe the 250ml glass bottle is the optimum size for Omega oils because it keeps the oil fresher. Each time you open a bottle of Omega-3 oil, the delicate essential fats are exposed to oxygen which promotes rancidity. By packaging the oil in smaller bottles, we reduce the number of times the bottle is opened and closed. So the oil stays fresher, healthier.
No wastage: Although customers are encouraged to take Omega oils every day, many clients do not manage to finish the 500ml bottle within the 8 week use-after-opening date, and thus land up wasting the oil. These are expensive products to waste! With the 250ml bottle, clients are much more likely to finish the bottle well within the use-by period.
Affordable: In this tight economy, Omega oils in smaller bottles just makes more financial sense for cash-strapped consumers. At half the price of the 500ml bottles, the 250ml bottles reduce purchase resistance – and should also encourage sampling.
With so many vitamins made from synthetic chemicals that the body hardly recognises, that tired old criticism from the orthodox medical fraternity that vitamin supplements are nothing but expensive urine is a lot close
r to the bone than many would like to admit.
So what does it take to make a truly great multi-vitamin the really delivers on its promise of lifting micro-nutrient levels and strengthening immunity?
Click here to find out how Garden of Life does it with its Living Multi, which concentrates almost 80 organic wholefoods into a nutrient powerhouse that delivers:
* 200% of the Daily Value of Vitamin A
* 50% of the Daily Value of Vitamin D
* 150% of the Daily Value of Vitamin E
* 150% of the Daily Value of Vitamin C
* 800% of the Daily Value of Vitamin B12
… and a whole lot more.

We’re pleased to introduce a superb new range of imported, premium organic teas, Qi Tea, as well as a locally-produced organic rooibos/greenbosch range from Cedarlife.
The beautifully-packaged Qi (pronounced “chee”) range (25 individually sealed tea bags per box) are refreshing, healthy teas packed with real fruit and herbs.
Qi teas are bought direct from a co-operative of independent farmers, and are certified organic and Fairtrade. Only the very best spring-harvested, high-altitude Chinese teas are selected for the Qi range.
The Cedarlife range is blended from organic rooibos and greenbosch (green rooibos which is an even richer source of anti-oxidants). The range includes Greenbosch & Chamomile, Greenbosch and Peppermint, Greenbosch and Hoodia, Greenbosch and Buchu, to name a few. Cedarlife teas comes in two pack sizes (20 and 40 teabags).
We’ve just launched an organic Flax Oil of exceptional quality at an excellent price.
It follows the recent installation of a brand-new oil press at our plant in Jo’burg (We are a certified organic processor of nutritional oils by Germany’s BCS Oko).
The new oil complements our range of Omega blends (see image) and indeed forms the basis of these superior products.
We press our flax oil at no higher than 40 degrees Centigrade, the European standard for cold-pressing. To do this, our press turns at a leisurely 20-25 revolutions a minute; the oil drips (very) slowly out of the press, producing a “flaxtastic” health-giving nectar.
Our press is linked directly to a centrifuge which filters the oil by spinning it at high speed (zero heat), producing a golden, nutrient-rich oil of exceptional purity. This enables us to bottle our Fax Oil sooner, so it’s fresher and healthier (more…)
Absolute Organix is pleased to announce the re-introduction of SMARTFISH into SA.
Manufactured by Pharmalogica in Norway, SMARTFISH is a marine oil supplement made from high quality, fresh salmon oil rich in Omega-3s – but without any fishy taste, smell or those repeating fish burps that make youngsters dread taking this vital “brain food”.
The new SMARTFISH sachets contain a potent blend of Omega-3 fatty acids in a smoothe, creamy emulsion sweetened with Xylitol and natural lemon and apricot flavours – it really does taste good.
To prove the great taste of SMARTFISH, we’ll send you a free sample. Please email us: info@absoluteorganix.co.za
From taste to texture to packaging, SMARTFISH has been designed to make it easy for young people to take their daily Omega 3s.
One sachet of SMARTFISH provides a complete daily dose of Omega 3s, delivering 180mg of DHA and 160mg of EPA from molecular-distilled salmon oil. The sachets ensure freshness and potency of the delicate Omega 3 oils by excluding oxygen and light.
Smartfish is available in tubs of 30 sachets.
Ever wondered where krill and then fish get their Omega-3s from? Well, it all starts with micro-algae, the original source of these health-giving essential fatty acids.
Absolute Organix Omega Pure is the only Omega-3 supplement containing the long chain Omega-3s, DHA and EPA, derived from micro-algae – and a new enhanced formulation of Omega Pure is now available.
Improvements in the cold extraction process have enabled our UK partners to not only increase the concentration of Essential Fats but also to reduce the dosage from 3 to 2 capsules. The new formulation delivers 400mg of ultra-pure DHA (87.5%) and EPA.
Omega Pure is an excellent source of DHA for pregnant and breast-feeding mothers because the algae from which the oil is extracted have been grown under pristine conditions in ponds completely free of any ocean contaminants like mercury and dioxins.
The cold-extraction of the oil means that the nutrient quality and bio-availability of the Essential Fats in Omega Pure is of the highest order.
Omega Pure is also a perfect source of DHA/EPA for Vegans/vegetarians and is approved by the Vegan societies of the UK and SA.
Available in glass bottles of 60 vegecaps (a month’s supply).
Our Raw Vegan Protein powder has been approved by the Vegan Society of South Africa. Find out more about a Vegan lifestyle by visiting www.vegansociety.co.za
Meantime, demand for our protein powder has been growing fast and we’ve now in
troduced a 1kg tub in addition to the original 400g pack.
Made from organic, sprouted brown rice fermented using an all-natural enzyme process, the silky-smoothe powder contains all the essential amino acids in a high-potency 80% protein concentrate.
Soy-free, gluten-free and dairy-free, it’s an easy to digest hypoallergenic protein source for vegetarians/vegans as others with dietary restrictions. It’s also a great protein source for athletes, even those hard-core meat-eaters and whey addicts!
The new 1kg tub of Raw Vegan Protein is excellent value at a recommended retail price of R250 incl – the price per gram is approx 20% less than the 400g tub.

Used successfully by doctors for a century, Iodine is an effective and safe natural antibiotic, a powerful anti-cancer (especially breast and prostate) agent, and a potent heavy metal detox tool. There is growing evidence that Iodine deficiency is increasing and is linked to a number of chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity, as well as certain heart ailments. Despite this the medical establishment today fears Iodine and shuns it as downright dangerous. However, a small group of medical specialists believe that Iodine should return to its rightful place in the natural medicine chest.
Our Lugol’s Iodine solution is now available.
