Venalta Gryogel In Cases Of Plantar Fasciitis

Men rarely complain about shoes, but women do, and very often! For special functions and even for a night of dancing, high-heels seem to be a must. Consequently women have to wear shoes that are too tight and that cause pain around the balls of the feet and the bones in that area.

Venalta Cryogel Massageproduced by Alta Care Laboratoires, is a pain-relief gel with a cold effect that improves micro-circulation. This cold effect improves the penetration of the product's active ingredients. The cold effect of Venalta Cryogel has anti inflammatory properties that treat the underlying cause of pain. The ingredients improve the flexibility and mobility of the feet.

One of the underlying causes of foot pain is a condition known in the medical field as plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fascia is a strong band of tissue (like a ligament) that stretches from your heel to your middle foot bones. It supports the arch of your foot and also acts as a shock-absorber in your foot. You are likely to injure the plantar fascia when:
•    you are on your feet for a long time;
•    when you do lots of walking, running, standing and you are not used to it;
•    if you start running on a different surface, on a road instead of a track;
•    if you wear shoes, especially high-heeled ones, with poor cushioning or poor arch support;
•    if you are an athlete and have to stretch the sole of your feet often;
•    if you have a tight Achilles tendon.

Pain is the main symptom in plantar fasciitis. This can be anywhere on the underside of your heel. However, commonly, one spot is found as the main source of pain. This is often about 4 cms forward from your heel, and may be tender to touch. Foot pain can also be caused by heel spurs, bunions and calluses.

Venalta Cryogel has one very important advantage for anyone practicing sport, long walks, long flights, dancing or even standing up for several hours. On massaging the cold gel, the ingredients will penetrate into the skin and the remaining gel will immediately evaporate. There will not be a greasy, slippery effect on the foot and the shoes. Therefore high-heels can be worn without any risk of slipping after using Venalta cryogel.

Venalta Cryogel will give immediate cold relief and it is recommended to apply the cold gel before putting your shoes on and also after putting your shoes off. Venalta cryogel is available in pharmacies. For further information visit www.altacare.com or send e.mail atalta@altacare.com.

High Heels : Sexy But Risky.


Researchers at the American College of Rheumatology have recently carried out a study regarding the relationship between joint-pain/arthritis and shoes worn by both men and women.  They have concluded that high-heels, a universal symbol of femininity, if worn very often, may cause damage to body joints and eventually bring about arthritis. That stilettos are not very comfortable we all knew. But not all girls and ladies are aware of the fact that their strutting about on high-heels will eventually bring about discomfort and pain, not only to their feet and legs, but to their whole body. The research carried out by the American College of Rheumatology has shown that amongst all kinds of shoes, high heeled ones are the most likely to cause arthritis; the discomfort and pain will become of a very serious nature the older one gets. On the other hand it has been shown that comfortable shoes such as gym-shoes do not cause joint pain, and arthritis is never related to comfortable shoes. Alyssa B. Dufour, in a study published in the magazine Arthritis Care & Research, states that researchers have found that there is a strong co-relation between the type of shoes worn and joint-pain. In fact research has shown that  men, who normally wear more comfortable shoes, do not suffer such pain.



Researchers conclude their study by giving this advice to women:
    
COMFORT BEFORE FASHION
Better comfortable than shrieking with pain later on;
Better no heels and no spider veins
Never buy shoes without trying them on to ensure that they are comfortable;
Do not wear shoes that have high heels, or ones that are too tight for your feet.
It’s the foot that has to fit the shoe, not the shoe fit the foot.  

ALTA CARE Laboratoires, while agreeing with the above mentioned study’s conclusions and advice, and having carried out its own studies regarding pedicure - the care of feet and legs - has launched on the market the “VENALTA” range of products that improve and prevent the unpleasant appearance of veins and improve the blood circulation of the legs. Venalta is a supplement for tired and heavy legs and is ideal for people who work for prolonged periods standing. Women who wear high heels must make use of VENALTA to avoid the discomfort brought about by joint-pain and arthritis!




The “Venalta” range consists of the Venalta Syrup, Venalta Capsules, Venalta Ampoules, Venalta Patches and Venalta Gel. This range has been specifically extended so as to provide both internal and external action to the legs. Most importantly however, is to note that the main active ingredients include Red Vine extract, Horse Chestnut extract, Vitamin E and Vitamin C, Malt extract and Buckwheat extract; all these natural extracts  promote venous strength, better blood circulation and healthier joints, feet and legs.

Alta Care Laboratoires recommends that girls and ladies do think seriously about the consequences of wearing uncomfortable high-heeled shoes. Sexy now and spider veins  later makes no sense. VENALTA IS ALL ABOUT HEALTHY FEET AND LEGS.

VENALTA is made in France and is available from all pharmacies.

Venalta Tips For Women With Vein Problems

While rather benign, this health condition affects about 15% of all adults worldwide. Most people recognize varicose veins because of their knotted, twisted, swollen and often bluish veins. In addition to any cosmetic concerns they may pose, these veins can cause discomfort in the form of dull nagging aches and pains, night cramps, ankle swelling, feelings of burning or leg fatigue after prolonged standing.


Recommendations for Wellness
1. Avoid standing for prolonged periods of time. If this is unavoidable, move your legs often. Stretching and flexing your ankle will work to pump the blood out of your legs and get it circulating again.

2. If you find yourself sitting for extended periods of time, get up and move around every 35 to 45 minutes.

3. Take regular walks to help exercise the muscles of the legs and increase blood flow.

4. Avoid clothing that may restrict blood flow.

5. Keep your weight in control. This can help to reduce pressure on your legs. The Altadrine weight control range by Alta Care Laboratoires is highly recommended since it has active fat burning ingredients.

6. To help prevent leg and ankle swelling, reduce your salt intake. Venalta Presso aesthetic treatment by Alta Care Laboratoires is indicated for lymph drainage.

7. Elevate your legs whenever possible especially when sitting.

8. Topically, Dermastir witch hazel, Dermastir elastin or Dermastir collagen can be applied to the legs to ease discomfort. Dermastir Serum cosmetic ampoules by Alta Care are glass ampoules containing pure concentrate and may be applied manually or aesthetically using ultrasound with Venalta System Treatment, also by Alta Care.

9. Butcher's broom has historically been used when dealing with circulatory ailments such as varicose veins. Butcher's Broom is present in all the Venalta Range.

10. Bioflavonoids can help this condition by reducing blood clotting tendencies, promoting healing and helping to strengthen the blood vessels. The Venalta Range is rich in bioflavonoids.

Venalta Helps You Show Off Your Legs

The return of another sizzling summer makes us expose more skin due to the heat and fashion trends. A prime season and reason to make sure our body is at its finest appearance!

During these coming hot months we tend to show off more of our body, be it because we go to the beach, wear lighter and shorter clothing or just want to flaunt a good tan. However the heat of our scorching summer also brings along a number of unpleasant factors that make many of us suffer.

One of the multiple problems many people face due to the unbearable heat is suffering from heavy legs and the unwanted appearance of veins. This causes feet and calves to become swollen, often accompanied by a dull ache made worse with prolonged standing. This is when one has to also deal with hiding the unsightly and even embarrassing varicose veins and spider veins on the legs.

Several surgical procedures can be used to treat heavy legs and the unwanted appearance of veins. However self medication is a recommended prevention for most people with veins that aren't causing more serious problems. Self medication can relieve symptoms and slow down the progress of broken veins. For many people with varicose veins and spider veins, self medication is now recommended because of the large range of over the counter products available in pharmacies.


The problem can be controlled and kept from getting worse by making use of natural remedies that work both internally and externally, as to give total effect on improving the overall appearance of the legs. A supplement containing phyto-extracts including Red Vine, will act as an antioxidant and also strengthen and stabilise the collagen tissues and capillaries. Red Vine extract has astringent and anti-inflammatory qualities that treat fragile capillaries, varicose veins and contusions. Horse Chestnut extract also has an anti-inflammatory effect and strengthens the collagen structure of the veins. Horse Chestnut inhibits the enzymes (hyalurodinase and glucoranidase enzymes) that break down collagen in the inner part of the vein. As a result of this it diminishes their permeability and consequently prevents, diminishes and cures oedema, superfluous veins, varicose veins and haematoma. Vitamin C and Vitamin E give an antioxidant effect and increase protection and prevention. This combination decreases healing time.

Alta Care Laboratoires –Paris have launched on the market the “Venalta” range of products that improve and prevent the unpleasant appearance of veins and improve blood circulation of the legs. Venalta is a supplement for tired and heavy legs and is ideal for people who work for prolonged periods standing up. Any woman who wears high heels must make use of Venalta to avoid any unwanted breakouts!

Unlike other supplements, the “Venalta” range consists of the Venalta Syrup, Venalta Capsules, Venalta Ampoules, Venalta Patches and Venalta Gel. The range has been specifically extended so as to provide both internal and external action to the legs. Most importantly however, is to note that the main active ingredients include Red Vine extract, Horse Chestnut extract, Vitamin E and Vitamin C, Malt extract and Buckwheat extract which promote venous strength and integrity.

The Venalta Syrup and Venalta Ampoules are supplements that work from the inside to the outside. They contain “fresh” ingredients that are free from additives and conservatives. They are therefore more effective than capsules, since the chemical constituents are not altered during processing, compression, storage and distribution. Capsules lose most of their efficacy due to drying and compressing of the ingredients. 

ALTA CARE Laboratoires – Paris, does not dilute its syrups with water, thus the active ingredients are stronger, and therefore give better effective results. Since hormonal changes sometimes are the underlying cause of vein problems and so play a role in the development of veins, Venalta Syrup contains extra ingredients of Soya and Dioscorea that restore equilibrium of imbalances typically found in women. The Venalta Syrup has a very pleasant taste of sugar free honey and sugar free Cranberry juice.

The Venalta Patches and Venalta Gel work from the outside to the inside. The Venalta Patches are a highly effective and easy to use, transdermal treatment that just involves slapping a patch on either side of the inner thigh every 24 hours. Venalta patches is an excellent way how to prevent the re appearance of symptoms. The Venalta gel gives a very refreshing and invigorating feeling to the legs and outer skin appearance, whilst providing the maximum efficacy of the active ingredients.

For optimal results, it is recommended to make use of the unique supplement range Venalta that is complete range acting not only from the outside to the inside but also from the inside to the outside.

Venalta Benefits For Leg Health With Red Vine Extract

It remained a mystery for quite a period of time why farmers from the vine growing regions of France almost never suffered from vein disorders. Then the long-guarded secret from folk medicine was discovered. It was customary for French farmers to collect the red vine leaves which are found in great abundance at the time of the grape harvest and to make infusions and paste-like poultices from them. The infusions were filled into bottles and regularly ingested in small quantities. The paste from vine leaves was used for the topical treatment of swollen, painful and tired legs - with great accomplishment.



Scientists and pharmacologists have now analysed and determined the active ingredients of the red vine leaf. The extracts were further developed into modern, innovative, purely herbal, medicaments. This was the time when the venotherapeutic agent found in all the VENALTA® range was born.

The action of the red vine leaf extract –
• improves blood circulation and metabolic activity in the tissues
• protects, seals and stabilizes the small vessel walls
• relieves pain and swelling, and tired, heavy legs
• reduces water retention and edema formation
• has anti-inflammatory properties

The Venalta Range, by Alta Care Laboratoires Paris consists of an exclusive variety of products ranging from tablets, gel, syrup, patches and ampoules.  The Venalta Range guarantees high efficacy due to the array of products which can be used in combination, for example, Venalta Tablets (which are working from the inside to the outside) and Venalta Gel (which is working from the outside to the inside).  Red Vine extract is present in all the products of the Venalta range, in addition to other food supplements and herbal extracts which promote leg health.

Innovative Solution To Flawless Legs

Venalta Gel, by Alta Care Laboratoires – Paris helps improve the general tone and reduces visibility of spider veins, varicose veins and thread veins.



What is so unique about Venalta Gel is that it forms part of a range.  The Venalta Range is made up of Venalta Syrup, Venalta Capsules and Venalta Ampoules – working from inside to outside, and Venalta Patches and Venalta Gel – working from outside to inside.  Combined use of products from the Venalta Range will ensure maximum efficacy and a highly intensive treatment.

The main active ingredient in Venalta Gel and the rest of the Venalta Range is Red Vine extract.  Red Vine extract ‘plugs’ the vein walls and does not allow blood to seep though.  This results in less porous veins, which reduces their unsightly appearance.

Venalta Gel aids circulation, thus acting on cold feet and pain and swelling in the legs and feet.
When applied, Venalta Gel gives a fresh effect and invigorating feeling to the legs, making it an ideal treatment for anyone suffering from tired, heavy legs.  The consistency of Venalta Gel is very light and easily absorbed, leaving your skin soft and supple.

Venalta Gel is to be applied twice daily and massaged into the legs for a minimum of one month for maximum results.  Apply Venalta Gel in circular massages: from the bottom of the legs to the top of the legs on the inner leg, and vice versa on the outer part of the leg.  Venalta Gel has a unique non-greasy texture which is quickly absorbed, allowing one to get dressed immediately.

Are Your Feet Killing You ?

If you suffer from heavy legs, take a look at how you spend your typical day.  People who spend the majority of their day either just sitting down, or just standing up tend to suffer from heavy legs and feet.  Besides from painful legs and feet, long intervals of sitting or standing can also lead to unsightly spider and varicose veins. 

Prevention is always better than cure.  If it is possible, one should try and rest his feet for a few minutes at regular intervals everyday, or vice versa if most of the day is spent sitting down.  However, work or hectic lifestyles don’t always permit the luxury of balancing sitting and standing.

The answer to lighter, healthier legs comes in the form of a transdermal patch.  Venalta Patches, by Alta Care Laboratoires – Paris, is ideal for those people who spend long intervals standing up or sitting down.  Venalta Patches, apart from relieving tired and heavy legs, also act on unsightly veins, and they also act on pain caused by shoes.

Venalta Patches contain escin, a horse chestnut extract, which inhibits the enzymes (hyalurodinase and glucoranidase enzymes) that break down collagen in the inner part of the vein. As a result of this it diminishes their permeability and consequently prevents, diminishes and cures oedema, superfluous veins, varicose veins and haematoma.  The red vine flavonoids in venalta patches act as antioxidants which strengthen and stabilize by plugging the pores in the damaged capillaries. Red Vine extract has astringent and anti-inflammatory qualities that treat fragile capillaries, varicose veins and contusions.  Venalta patches also contain tannins, helanin and bilobalide which, apart from their anti-inflammatory action, also help to improve peripheral vascular and micro vascular circulation.

Venalta Patches are a highly effective and easy to use, transdermal remedy that just involves slapping a patch on either side of the inner thigh every 24 hours.  Venalta Patches are highly discreet, waterproof and hypo allergenic. 
So if you spend most of your day standing up or sitting down, Venalta Patches are ideal for you – slap on to treat tired heavy legs, or even to prevent them getting tired; and furthermore to prevent those unattractive veins!

Silvia Elastin Ampoules In pregnancy

Pregnant women worry about the stretch marks that may appear after pregnancy. Women are getting pregnant at a later stage of their life nowadays and the elastin levels in skin are not optimum therefore there is a high risk of stretch marks after pregnancy because of these decreased elastin levels.  Stretch marks is a concern for all pregnant women but also for all women that intend to become pregnant in their future. And it’s this substance that directly leads to stretch marks and sagging loose skin.

ELASTIN

Elastin is a protein in connective tissue that is elastic and allows many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. Elastin helps skin to return to its original position when it is poked or pinched.

It is primarily composed of the amino acids glycine, valine, alanine, and proline. Elastin is made by linking many soluble tropoelastin protein molecules, in a reaction catalyzed by lysyl oxidase, to make a massive insoluble, durable cross-linked array. The amino acid responsible for these cross-links is lysine. Desmosine and isodesmosine are both found in elastin.

Our natural Elastin is no longer renewed. With aging, the elastic fibers progressively degenerate and separate into fragments. The skin progressively loses its elasticity and lines and wrinkles start appearing. This damage to our elastic tissue cannot be avoided and is part of our natural (physiological) aging process. This process begins relatively early but accelerates considerably after age of 40.

Elastin owes its properties to its thin structure which resembles that of rubber. Alta Care laboratoires defines elastin as the rubber of the organism.
Elastin is the protein responsible for our skin’s essential elasticity and tonicity. Its decrease means aging and it can be said that ‘we are as old as our elastic fibers’. As we we age, we stop producing elastin for our skin. The skin starts sagging, allowing lines, folds and wrinkles to appear and grow.
This is the reason why Elastin is of the utmost importance in dermo-cosmetology as it can compensate for the loss of elastic matter in the derm. Only Dermastir Elastin™ biopeptides are soluble and small enough were proven to regenerate and replenish our level elastin in our skin, and thus make it look much younger.

There are three types of “elastin” available on the market:
1   “Hydrolysed Elastin” penetrates the dermis but had lost all its elasticity as its “rubber” molecular cross-links were first destroyed in the hydrolysation process. 
2   “Native Elastin” has too large a molecules and cannot penetrate the skin. It just sits on the skin surface. Useless.
3   Dermastir Elastin™ behaves like natural Elastin and restores our skin natural elasticity, hydration and tonicity. 

Elastin is best presented in glass ampoule form because only in this way  you have a guarantee that the elastin that you purchased will arrive to the skin when applying the ampoule. 

Directions of Use
Break the top of the skincare ampoule. Distribute the precious serum directly on the skin or mix in a cream or in a mask. Massage delicately on the interested areas until completely absorbed. 
Before and after pregnancy  - Phase 1 : Apply one elastin ampoule in the morning and one elastin ampoule at night every seven days for a month - Phase 2 : To consolidate the obtained results repeat phase 1.
During pregnancy -   Phase 1 : Apply one elastin ampoule in the morning and one elastin ampoule at night every three days for 9 months 

Silvia elastin ampoules can be used before and during pregnancy. The ampoules can be mixed with a hydrating lotion or even applied on their own on the parts of the body with high risk to develop stretch marks.  

One box of Silvia elastin with 20 ampoules costs 48 euros meaning 1 ampoule costs 2,4 euros. The ampoules can be purchased either individually or as a box of 20 ampoules from a pharmacy.  

Warnings : Do not expose yourself to the sun. Avoid contact with eyes and in case rinse with water. The skincare ampoule tip must be broken by using a piece of cloth.

Women's Skin Ages Faster Than Men's

Women's skin ages faster than men's, according to a German study using a new laser-based technique to measure damage from sun exposure and aging.

The study, published in Optics Letters, a journal of the Optical Society of America, was based on a new technique in which doctors shine pulses of infrared laser light to look at the deeper layers of the skin and measure aging.
The imaging of collagen and elastin, whose degeneration causes wrinkles and loss of smoothness, found that women lose collagen faster than men. Collagen and elastin in cosmetic ampoule form where found to be the best since there is a guarantee that the ingredients are not oxidised in the cosmetic ampoule.

"The dependence appeared to be sex-dependent, with women's skin losing collagen at faster rates than men's," according to the researchers from Germany's Freidrich Schiller University in Jena and the Fraunhofer Institute of Biomedical Technology in St. Ingbert.

Currently, dermatologists who want to examine a patient's collagen network in the dermis have to remove a sample of tissue and look at it under a microscope. Collagens are a group of proteins in the dermis, the connective tissue layer of the skin, and are responsible for the strength of skin. The human body makes a lot of collagen in youth but production declines with aging.

Alta Care Laboratoires are now producing products that are specific for the woman since the body of a man and woman are different. It does not make sense that multivitamins and food supplements are adequate for both males and females. The sales of Alta Care Laboratoires' multivitamin specific for woman called Silvia Women Formula is increasing rapidly in all pharmacies since women are asking for multivitamins specific for women.

Is The Heat On ? Hot flushes? Silvia Women Patches Answer

Hot flushes are characterized by a sudden feeling of heat often accompanied with a reddening of the face and profuse sweating. For some, it is as mild as a brief warm flushing of the face and skin. For others, it is experienced as an intense heat on the face and upper body with intense sweating. Sometimes hot flushes are also accompanied by an increased heart rate, nausea, dizziness, anxiety, weakness or a feel of suffocation.


Physiologically speaking, hot flushes are the body's reaction to a decreased supply of estrogen. Typically this occurs when a women approaches menopause. Every woman's experience of this important life change is different, unpredictable and highly individual and they all follow their own pattern. In some production of estrogen decreases gradually, producing few flushes. In others, the ovaries stop abruptly or start and stop before production ends completely. For these women, hot flushes can become tricky.

Dropping estrogen levels confuse the hypothalamus (the part of the brain that controls appetite, sleep, sex hormones and temperature), where it makes the body think it is too hot. This activates the body's heat releasing mechanism where it causes the blood vessels in the skin to expand, increasing blood flow to help dissipate heat. At the same time, the sweat glands begin producing sweat in an effort to cool the body off even more.

Usually experienced for a short period of time, some women complain of the hot flushes all the time for a number of years. Most women begin to experience hot flushes 1-2 years before menopause and they end within a year of their last menstrual cycle. Some women can experience hot flushes up to and sometimes more than 5 years after their last menstrual cycle.

Alta Care Laboratoires – Paris have introduced Silvia Women Patches, an over-the-counter transdermal patch designed specifically for women suffering from hormone imbalance.

Silvia Women patches contain Soya, phyto estrogens and isoflavones, which compensates for the estrogen & progesterone levels when they are too low or too high.  This results in naturally balancing the hormones, thus working on the hot flushes (as the hot flushes are the body’s reaction to a decreased supply of estrogen.).

Besides acting on the hot flushes, Silvia Women Patches also acts on other typical results of hormone imbalances such as:
Pre-menopausal symptoms: PMS symptoms, menstrual pains, acne breakouts, fatigue, mood swings, breast tenderness, bloating.

Menopausal Symptoms: night sweating, fatigue, mood swings, hot flushes.
Silvia Women Patches contain Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa), which is also an ideal remedy for menopausal and pre-menopausal symptoms.  Wild Yam contains substances which are highly similar to progesterone; therefore regulate the progesterone levels in the body, thus acting on the menopausal and pre-menopausal symptoms and complaints.

Sage (Salvia Officinalis) is one of the main ingredients found in Silvia Women Patches.  Sage has a strong antihydrotic action, and was a traditional treatment for night sweats sufferers. Its appreciable oestrogenic effect makes it particularly beneficial for night sweats during menopause.  Its oestrogenic effects may also be used to control menstrual irregularity, PMS and menopausal symptoms.

Silvia Women Patches also contains another phyto-extract which contains phyto-oestrogenic substances is Hops extract, and therefore may also be used in the treatment of hormone imbalances.
The extracts in Silvia Women Patches are released transdermally for a period of 24-36 hours, permitting a fast onset and continuous action.
Silvia Women Patches reduce the frequency and intensity of symptoms related to hormone imbalances.  This means that if before using Silvia Women Patches one used to suffer from severe PMS, menstrual pain, night sweats etc; the symptoms will reduce from severe to mild and will also occur less frequently.
Silvia Women Patches are waterproof, skin colour and hypo-allergenic, there are also no side effects or interactions if used as recommended.
To use Silvia Women patches simply stick one patch per day on the lower abdomen or lower back.

French Women Are Becoming Very Demanding When Their Well-Being Is At Stake

If you walk into a pharmacy and ask for a multivitamin you will in all probability be given a product that is good both for women and men. This is nowadays not the case in French pharmacies, especially those in Paris, where women are asking for a multivitamin that is not only specific for women, but that is also chronobiological.


Why is this so ? Do women and men have the same needs for their body ?
It is exactly for this reason that the French company ALTA CARE Laboratoires has created the first and only multivitamin and supplement in the world that, that besides being specific for women, also respects the chronobiology of women. SILVIA WOMEN FORMULA provides vitamins and minerals according to, not only  the needs of the female body, but also  the time of the day when they are most necessary.

The capsules have been produced in red and blue colours, the former for the morning and the latter for the evening. French women have now got used to the idea of having not only one capsule a day, but two. One of the innovative aspects is this; calcium, for example, is present only in the evening (dosage) capsule, because it has been shown that correct fixation of calcium takes place at night, while if taken in the morning, it could cause an undesirable calcification. For similar reasons even iron and folic acid are included only in the evening capsule. Fucus that stimulates metabolism is only found in the morning capsule.

SILVIA WOMEN FORMULA apart from helping naturally to restore hormone imbalances is appropriate for any age and does not contain calories; it is helpful in times of tiredness and stress since it provides women with the energy necessary to face the difficult phases of life that only women encounter. Very shortly not only French women but all women will soon become very demanding for multivitamins and supplements that are made purposely for women since it is already widely available in pharmacies.

Alta Care Laboratoires have now launched to compliment the Silvia women formula multivitamin tablets a luxury skincare line under the brand name of Silvia. The Silvia day ampoules are to be applied to protect the skin during the day from pollutants and irritants. The Silvia night ampoules have regenerating and repairing properties.
A multivitamin for the skin to compliment your multivitamin tablets makes sense to the woman that cares.

Nicosolven Anti-Oxidants Even For Passive Smokers

Sam walks out of the pub to smoke and after a couple of minutes he’s back in the bar with his friends drinking. When it’s time for them to leave, they walk happily to his car to return home. Hardly has he buckled his safety-belt that out comes the cigarette and he starts smoking.



His friends, who happen to be non-smokers, are in a few minutes engulfed in smoke. But they are now used to it. The thought that secondhand smoking accounts for thousands of cases of respiratory, cardiovascular and cancer deaths every year, never ever crossed their minds.
Secondhand smoking is serious! So serious that the state of California has already banned smoking in cars carrying children. The decision was based on evidence which showed that a car can be 23 times more toxic than a house in the context of passive smoke. Some European countries, like Cyprus and the Netherlands, have also banned smoking in cars carrying children. Smoking in cars is becoming a bigger problem, now that car pooling between friends and work colleagues is on the increase.

The British Medical Journal made reference to a study carried out at John Hopkins Bloomber School of Public Health in Baltimore, USA, in which researchers studied 17 smokers and 5 non-smokers who commuted to and from work for 30 minutes or longer.

2 passive airborne nicotine samplers were placed in the cars - one at the front passenger seat headrest and one in the back seat behind the driver – for a 24 hour period. Using gas chromatography, the researchers analysed the 44 samplers gathered and found there was a two-fold (1.96) increase in air nicotine concentrations per cigarette smoked. Air nicotine concentrations in smokers’ motor vehicles were “strikingly higher” than non-detectable concentrations found in non-smokers’ cars. The researchers estimated that nicotine concentrations were twice as strong in smokers’ cars as levels measured by other studies in public/private places, and 40 per cent to 50 per cent higher than those in restaurants/bars that permit smoking. Factors such as size of vehicle and use of ventilation made a difference to the results, although opening the windows did not eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke.

Alta Care Laboratoires, while being in total agreement with the above mentioned findings, has launched 2 anti-oxidant products that should be of great help both to smokers and non-smokers. People need to be further informed on the value and importance of anti-oxidants.

Nicosolven CoQ10 Liquid Capsules are important for people who live in polluted cities or places. Nicosolven's anti-oxidant efficacy is beneficial both to smokers and non-smokers as a prevention. The preventive anti-oxidant benefits of CoQ10 are well known. CoQ10 maintains a healthy heart and contributes to the improvement of immune functions. Moreover, these capsules, being liquid, have the advantage of being absorbed directly by the body without having to go through any break-down stages. Thus the active ingredients in liquid form are absorbed faster than if they were in solid form.

Another Alta Care Laboratoires product with antioxidants is Nicosolven Astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that might offer immune, cardiovascular and central nervous system benefits. Prevention with astaxanthin in polluted areas may also benefit eye health, brain health, and reduce inflammation. As a result of its powerful antioxidant effects, some studies have suggested that astaxanthin might enhance endurance and speed recovery time after strenuous exercise in smokers. Nicosolven is also ideal the morning after a night of partying.

If you are hooked on smoking, or if you happen to be a regular passenger in a smoker driven car, or if your respiratory system is continually exposed to smoke or fumes of some kind, Nicosolven CoQ10 or Nicosolven Astaxanthin is a must. Alta Care Laboratoires recommends 1 or 2 capsules a day, or as recommended by your pharmacist or doctor.

Nicosolven CoQ10 is made in France and is available in all pharmacies.

Nicosolven Astaxanthin And Skin Care

Isn't the desire to look and feel forever-young part and parcel of our nature? 

Don't we all try to reverse the visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, age spots and pigmentation?  Aging is a natural process, you might say. But isn't the dermal layer of our skin being subjected to solar radiation, ultra violet rays and chemical pollutions. And aren't we compounding these negative effects with our increasingly poor diets and lifestyle habits that are not at all conducive to maintaining the skin's natural repair process and antioxidant network. Yes! So what can I possibly do when faced with all this? Creams and serums have to be supplemented with food supplements to have optimum skin care. Anti-oxidant supplementation is especially important in smokers but even in people that live in polluted areas. Let’s stick to the facts and try to put right somehow this situation.

Fact 1
“Skin is exposed to chemical, physical, and mechanical damage, causing premature aging of the epidermis.” 

Fact 2
Astaxanthin has excellent skin care properties. “Astaxanthin is anti-oxidant produced by an alghae in direct response to protect cells in vivo against UV induced oxidative stress.”

Fact 3
“Nutritional factors such as astaxanthin can modulate photochemical damage, in particular the common carotenoids in food.”

Fact 4
“Over the past 60 years, damage to the planet's ozone layer has increased the amount of harmful radiation that reaches your skin.” Sun protection creams have to be complimented with food supplements such as ataxanthin. 

ASTAXANTHIN
In human trials, Astaxanthin has been shown to reduce visible signs of UV-aging through both topical and dietary supplementation within 4 to 6 weeks of use. This data is supported by a number of in-vitro and animal studies. Research suggests potential skin benefits from the use of astaxanthin to 
•    maintain a youthful appearance, 
•    reverse premature signs of aging  
•    prevent UV induced skin cancer. 

Astaxanthin is derived from krill oil or the microalgae Haematococcus Pluvialis. Astaxanthin has potent quenching and anti-lipid peroxidation properties. Antioxidants protect our body cells from damage from free radicals, unstable substances that are thought to contribute to certain chronic diseases. 

Several studies (Yamashita 2002 and Yamashita 2006) have shown that female subjects with a variety of skin types, after being given either 4mg astaxanthin or placebo in a single-blind randomized controlled study, felt that their skin condition had improved significantly. The treated group achieved positive results in:
•    Hydration
•    Elasticity
•    Wrinkle reduction
The results were significant since skin regeneration usually takes between 4-5 weeks. The greatest improvement, seen at week 6, supports the theory that astaxanthin protects and allows skin to regenerate.

Skin Health in the form of softgels or capsules
“Beauty from within” or improved skin condition through nutrition and supplementation is a worldwide trend that is on the increase. The market for beauty supplements in the USA is currently worth 80 million dollars, and rapid growth in this segment is expected over the next 10 years. 

Nicosolven astaxanthin by ALTA CARE Laboratoires is a concentrate of astaxanthin and omega 3, 6 9 fatty acids that are microencapsulated for better stability in the softgel. The eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and the docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids help to regulate lipid metabolism. The red color of the softgel is due to the astaxanthin that has a synergic effect in combination with the omega 3-6-9. 

Nicosolven astaxanthin is becoming popular because it also contains the antioxidant  astaxanthin. The algae that krill eats produces the bright red pigment astaxanthin that gives krill and other crustaceans such as lobster and shrimp their reddish-pink colour.
Nicosolven astaxanthin softgels are made in France. Alta Care Laboratoires recommend 1 to 2 softgels per day or as directed by your pharmacist or doctor.

Nicosolven Beneficial For Smokers And Non Smokers

Nicosolven Coenzyme CoQ10, an endogenous cellular constituent present in mitochondria, is a mediator of electron transport and energy production. Its action as co-antioxidant with vitamin E and vitamin C, by its ability to maintain both products in their reduced state, was recently confirmed by Crane and Navas.

The preventive benefits of Nicosolven are important to people who live in polluted cities or places. Nicosolven anti-oxidant efficacy is beneficial to smokers but also to non smokers as a prevention. The preventive benefits of CoQ10 are well known as powerful anti-oxidants to maintain a healthy heart and contribute to improve immune functions.
Nicosolven liquid CoQ10 capsules for an immediate effect.



Our body can only absorb nutrients in liquid form; all solids have to be dissolved in the stomach or intestinal tract before they can be absorbed. In its solid form CoQ10 has to be emulsified in the intestine, which takes time, as it is only soluble in oil. Our body needs oil and emulsifiers to create a CoQ10 suspension or a solution in order to absorb it. In Nicosolven liquid CoQ10, CoQ10 is already dissolved in oil; thus as soon as the Nicosolven liquid capsule dissolves, CoQ10 is immediately available for absorption.
One of the main advantages of liquids is that they are absorbed directly by the body without going through break down stages. Active ingredients in liquid form should therefore be absorbed faster than in solid form.

Nicosolven liquid CoQ10 release CoQ10 quickly in a highly bioavailable form. The Nicosolven CoQ10 solution in oil supports its uptake and leads to higher plasma CoQ10 levels in comparison to other delivery forms such as soft gel capsules or tablets. In a comparative study Nicosolven liquid CoQ10 capsules created plasma levels 32 per cent higher than soft gels and 34 per cent higher than powdered CoQ10 delivery forms.

CoQ10 products are mostly sold in tablets or soft gel capsules. Nicosolven Liquid CoQ10 capsules are a new delivery form with a completely fresh appearance. Thanks to the nitrogen bubble inserted, the formulation can move around freely and visibly within the capsule, adding to the pleasant orange colour and overall look. Consumers like the Nicosolven liquid Co Q10 capsules look which implies higher efficacy, quality, convenience, faster action and safety. Nicosolven liquid capsules offer the chance to innovate in the growing CoQ10 market with a unique and highly distinguishable product.
GFK consumer survey performed in 2007 in Germany with a panel of 100 consumers.

Note to customers about CoQ10 formulation
• Like natural products such as honey or olive oil, crystallization may occur when capsules are exposed to temperature variation.
• The degree of crystallization strongly depends on the exposure to low temperatures. As this phenomenon is reversible, CoQ10 crystals dissolve again when the product is brought up above room temperature.
• Please note that this phenomenon does not affect in any way the stability of CoQ10 in the formula. This was confirmed by HPLC assay on the level of CoQ10 in our capsules.
• An opaque capsule can also be chosen to mask this natural phenomenon.
Directions of use
1 to 2 capsules per day or as directed by your pharmacist or doctor.

Nicosolven liquid capsules with liquid co enzyme Q10 is available in all pharmacies. Since the capsules are in liquid form, the liquid is absorbed immediately in the stomach and not like normal tablets in the intestine. This may cause some belching which is only transient. Nicosolven is recommended to smokers and non smokers to reduce oxidative stress and to reduce risks that are associated with smoking and passive smoking. Nicosolven liquid capsules with liquid co enzyme q10 are available in all pharmacies. 

Neuralta : A Supplement To Help You Face Stress

Stress is often related to external factors like the physical environment, including our job, our relationships with others, our home, and whatever we are confronted with in life - challenges, difficulties, expectations, etc. Stress affects our muscles and joints, our heart, our stomach, our intestines, our reproductive system and most important of all our brain and nerves.


NEURALTA BRAIN POWER liquid capsules of Alta Care Laboratoires strengthens our nervous system that tends to weaken, not only with age, but also when we are under stress.  Neuralta Brain Power contains Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS), phospholipids located within the inner leaflet of the cell membrane. PS and PC are implicated in a myriad of membrane-related functions. PS is essential for the functioning of all body cells and is very much needed in the brain especially when we are under physical and mental stress.

Clinical studies have shown the following PS benefits:
• Improves age-related nerve endings and dendrite damage. 
• Improves cognitive performance
• Improves mood
• Improves learning abilities and memory
• has neuroprotective and antioxidative properties especially when taking medicines and drugs that act on the brain eg. anti-depressants, sleeping pills, strong pain killers, psychotropics, illicit drugs etc.

Common physical symptoms often reported by those experiencing excess stress include: 
• sleep disturbances, 
• muscle tension and muscle aches,
• headache, 
• gastrointestinal disturbances, 
• fatigue. 
• Emotional and behavioural symptoms that can accompany excess stress include: nervousness, 
• anxiety, 
• changes in eating habits including overeating, 
• loss of enthusiasm or energy,
• mood changes, like irritability and depression. 

Alta Care Laboratoires’s Neuralta Liquid Capsules is  a product to improve the well-being of the nervous system and re-establish the equilibrium during and after physical and mental stress. 
NEURALTA BRAIN POWER is available from all pharmacies. For further information phone visit web-site www.altacare.com

Neuralta In Case Of Tremor

A tremor is a symptom that may be present in otherwise healthy people, as well as in people with medical disorders. Tremor or shaking can be associated even with fatigue, stress, anxiety, or rage. A pair of very steady hands are a must for each and every one of us, but especially for certain people who can’t afford to go wrong when their hands are at work.  Watching the shaking hands of a surgeon, a dentist, a physiotherapist, an electrician, machine operators in factories, a painter, a sculptor and why not, a clay-pigeon shooter, would certainly ring a bell. If the tremor is just slight or an occasional one, and not a constant one, NEURALTA of ALTA CARE Laboratoires, may help, as the following  recent studies have shown.


Oral application of elevated dosages of vitamin B1, B6 and B12 have been found to improve target shooting in marksmen, recruited from a local pentathlon association, in two different studies. Study 1 was performed in an open controlled design, whereas in study 2 the group treated with B-vitamins was compared in a double-blind fashion with a placebo control group including 8 by 8 volunteers and 10 by 9 volunteers, respectively. The volunteers were randomly assigned to the groups. Performance quality was followed in both studies over a period of 8 weeks, while participants were continuously supplied with a combination of vitamins B1, B6 and B12. In both studies, marksmen in the vitamin-treated groups showed statistically significant, considerably improved firing accuracy, as measured by the number of points achieved within a series of 20 shots at each examination. In study 2 the degree of improvement was linearly dependent on the duration of vitamin treatment, whereas the placebo-treated group, similar to the untreated control group in study 1, did not show any prominent change.

Performance quality in marksmenship closely correlates with the magnitude of physiological tremor. Tremor can also be involved in the regulation quality of sensory-motor control systems. Thus, an improvement in firing accuracy as found in both studies, is by the same token, an improvement of fine motor control of slow movements, involving, for example, basal ganglia.

NEURALTA, another quality product form ALTA CARE Laboratoires, is a combination of the three essential neurotropic Vitamins (B1, B6 and B12) mentioned in this study.

The Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 are important with regards to the metabolism of the peripheral and central nervous system. Their effect on the regeneration of nerves has been shown in various investigations using these Vitamins, both individually and in combination.

VITAMIN B1 plays an important role in major metabolic processes.
VITAMIN B6 has an analgesic effect.
VITAMIN B12 ensures blood cell formation and prevents degenerative processes.

Both the individual function and the beneficial biochemical links between the 3 Vitamins justify their combination.
NEURALTA is made in France and is mainly indicated for the supportive treatment of neuritis and neuralgia (neuropathies) NEURALTA is a combination of Neurotropic vitamins B1, B6, & B12. These vitamins, in their role as co-enzymes, are indispensable factors in the metabolism of the nervous system.
NEURALTA normalizes the nerve cell metabolism.
NEURALTA supports the regeneration of nerve fibers and mylic sheath by activation of the metabolism and the natural repair mechanism.
NEURALTA has all the properties and qualities needed to improve the rate of one’s tremor as claimed by the above mentioned study.
NEURALTA of ALTA CARE Laboratoires, Paris, is available in tablet form, each box containing 80 tablets.
Dosage varies from 1 to 3 tablets a day or as prescribed by one’s doctor.

Dosage can be decreased when the pain, or tremor in this case, is no longer felt; but it is recommended that one continues having at least 1 tablet a day to decrease the frequency and the intensity of the pain in case of a relapse.

Neuralta : Say Goodbye To Migraines

What causes migraine attacks?  There is no real evidence showing what the actual underlying cause is, however there is a strong hypothesis that a condition called hypoxia (lack of oxygenation in the brain cells) triggers these aggravating, throbbing migraine attacks that vary in frequency and intensity.



Migraine affects up to 15% of the population and around two thirds of sufferers are women. An attack can last from 4 hours to 72 hours, although sufferers may feel drained for a couple of days after that. A migraine sufferer can experience an average of 13 attacks a year, but this can vary from person to person; sufferers are completely symptom-free between attacks.

Alta Care Laboratoires – Paris, have launched an innovative over-the-counter solution to improve the microcirculation and the oxygenation of brain cells…Neuralta Migren 101 Patches.  By simply sticking a discreet patch of Neuralta Miagren Patches on the clothes, at chest level, will allow its active ingredients to be released; this by aromatherapy.

The active ingredients of Neuralta Migren 101 Patches are essential oils.  Studies have shown that the inhaled essential oils improve microcirculation by inhibiting platelet segregation.  There is an improvment in peripheral brain circulation, oxygenation and nerve cell stimulation. Aromatherapy improves oxygenation in the brain cells, thus acting on the underlying cause of migraines.  Last but not least, some essnetial oils also found in Neuralta Migren 101 Patches, have excellent anti-inflammatory properties.

Neuralta Migren 101 patches have a rapid onset of action and give a relaxing and soothing effect.
One thing to keep in mind is that using Neuralta Migren 101 Patches will reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks, meaning that if before using Neuralta Migren 101 Patches, migraines were a three times weekly ordeal, with the help of Neuralta Migren 101 Patches the attacks could subside to as little as once a week, or even less; and with regards to intensity one could go from not being able to sleep, as the attack is so bad, to the attack being not so severe, and so it will then be possible to sleep.

Neuralta Migren 101 patches are also safe for children.  They will not have any side-effects, dependence or interactions.
Neuralta Migren 101 Patches should be taken with Neuralta Tablets and Neuralta Syrup, supplements containing a combination of Vitamin B1, B6 and B12, that improve the trophism of the central nervous system.

How to use the patches? Simple. Just apply 1 patch on the clothes at chest level; and for continuous action, patches are to be used on alternate months (i.e. first month 1 patch per day, second month discontinue treatment, third month 1 patch per day and so on until migraine symptoms persist).
