As we age, our nutritional requirements alter. Because the need for energy declines, many people tend to eat less as they pass through middle age.

Unfortunately, in many instances, the lowered food intake results in reduced intake of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients needed for good health.

Brain foods are especially important - the herb Ginkgo Biloba for example has been shown to improve blood flow to the brain, aiding memory and concentration, and generally improve circulation to all parts of the body.

Poor digestion of food as a result of diminished enzyme function can also cause problems with nutrient absorbtion. Digestive enzymes such as Papain & Bromelain can assist this process and ensure the cells of the body receive the nutrients they need.

Vitamin E is a powerful Antioxidant needed for the maintenance of healthy cells and to help slow age-related disease. Less energy output can often result in poor quality sleep. The gentle and calming actions of Valerian, Chamomile and Passionflower offer an alternative way of getting a good nights rest.
