• Recommended if your weight is below 10 st (64 kgs)
• The ultimate health product
• The natural way to get the ZEST back into your life

COMPOSITION

Active ingredients found in Zest capsules include a variety of minerals, trace elements, protein, fatty acids, glycosaminoglycans, growth hormones and growth factors

Major Element Concentrations

• Nitrogen: 8.4%
  
• Ash: 34.0%
  
• Lipids: 2.5%
  
• Calcium: 12.1%

Minerals/Trace Elements

• Calcium (Ca): 12.1% - provides structure for bones and teeth, and is essential for nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction and blood clotting.
  
• Copper (Cu): 5.3 ppm - necessary for red blood cell development, bones, and nerves.
  
• Iron (Fe): 319 ppm - essential for blood cells transporting oxygen throughout the body.
  
• Manganese (Mn): 3.4ppm - needed for development of bones and connective tissue, and for normal functioning of the nervous system.
  
• Magnesium (Mg): 0.25% - needed in metabolic reactions and storing and releasing energy in cells.
  
• Phosphorus(P): 5.8% - provides structure for bones and teeth, and is a component of nearly all metabolic reactions.
  
  
• Potassium (K): 0.42% - needed for nerve and muscle function
  
• Selenium (Se): 0.18ppm - a powerful antioxidant.
  
• Sulfur (S): 0.85% - is a component of various amino acids and insulin.
  
• Zinc (Zn): 69ppm - part of the enzymes involved in digestion and respiration, and is necessary for normal wound healing and skin health

Proteins/Collagen/Lipids

Proteins (including all essential amino acids): are the structural materials in cells, and aid in growth and repair of tissues. Collagen: a major structural component of bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Lipids (all essential fatty acids including omega 3 and 6): build cell parts and boost energy for cellular activities

Growth Hormones and Growth Factors

Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-l) and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Growth hormones and factors have an effect on growth and maintenance of bones and promoting protein and fat metabolism, stimulating cartilage growth, and thickening' and lengthening bones in children. They also have growth promoting actions on the skin.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)

• Hyaluronic acid: is the cement material of connective tissue and a component of synovial fluid that cushions the joint.
  
• Chondroitin sulfate: extremely potent anti-inflammatory agent.
  
• Glucosamine sulfate: an amino sugar that occurs naturally in the body. Its glue-like qualities help to hold tissues together. It is also a major component of synovial fluid, which lubricates and serves as a shock absorber for the joints.
  
• Erythropoeitin: a hormone produced in the kidneys and released into the bloodstream in response to low oxygen levels, thus helping to increase oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
  
• Prostaglandins: chemical messenger produced in all tissues, causing a broad range of positive effects on many of the body's defense systems.
  
• Phospholipids: effective structural materials in cell membranes. They help to facilitate the passage of fat in and out of cells and blood.
  
• Glycosphingolipids: involved in cell metabolism and growth.

GAG Concentrations

• Collagen 25.0%
• Uronic Acid 0.8%
  
• Sulphanated Glycosaminoglycans
  
• Sialic Acid 0.2%
