Planet Health invests substantially in stability testing to ensure the shelf life and safety of all Qsilica Colloidal Silica Gel products. Until now Planet Health have used a safe and effective system containing the food preservative Sodium Benzoate in our “Original” Gel formulation. Now we have discovered a “breakthrough” in natural preservation for Colloidal Silica Gel using a pure Lemongrass essential oil base. As a result we have decided to move away from the use of Sodium Benzoate. This technically advanced Lemongrass preservation system has an improved and refreshing citrus-like natural flavour. The premium Colloidal Silica active ingredient in Qsilica Colloidal Silica Gel remains unchanged so the same amazing results will continue!

Internationally renowned superfood expert, Jason Bennett says consumers need to look more closely at what they buy.
More than two thirds of Australians take vitamin supplements for improved health and we spend more than half a billion dollars on these products every year, yet few realise that the majority of these are synthetic. Jason Bennett of New Zealand company Lifestream International says that many supplements on the market today are synthetic, or laboratory made, rather than produced using wholefood ingredients.

Leading UK researcher and author Dr Alex Richardson says parents need to be discerning when choosing dietary supplements such as fish oil for children. Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids have been shown to help children who experience difficulty with their behaviour, concentration or focus. Dietary sources are sometimes not adequate and supplementation can then be the best option. Some omega 3 & 6 supplements marketed at children contain many of the additives parents are trying to avoid, in order to make the products palatable and attractive for kids.

Lifestream Natural Vitamin C is different to other vitamin C products because it is made from certified organic, ethically grown and environmentally sustainable Acerola berries and certified organic tapioca. Most vitamin C tablets contain synthetic ascorbic acid manufactured from glucose and many include fillers, binders, disintegrants, coatings, excipients, sweeteners, colours, flavours, flow agents and more. Unlike many animal species, humans are not able to create their own vitamin C. Natural ascorbic acid from food sources such as Acerola is more easily absorbed by the human body than the synthetic variety.
