Altadrine Carb Blocker Sachets for CHILDHOOD OBESITY

Mothers, educators and child carers are all very much aware of childhood obesity, a global problem that is increasing at an alarming rate. Globally, in 2010, the number of overweight children under the age of five, is estimated to have been over 42 million.

Now while obese adults very often resort to all kinds of fat blockers, tablets, syrups, gels etc. to tackle their condition, this is not possible in the case of children, for such ‘medicines’ and dietary supplements will cause further harm to them if taken at a tender age. Such dietary products should in fact be out of reach for children.

Being very much aware of this dilemma, Alta Care Laboratoires has just added a new product to its Altadrine range, a product which is not at all harmful for children; on the contrary it is ideal for obese, or rather overweight, children. This is the ALTADRINE FAT AND CARB BLOCKER sachets that block fats and carbohydrates. ALTADRINE FAT AND CARB BLOCKER helps weight control by inhibiting carbohydrate break down and by inhibiting fat absorption.


The fundamental causes behind the rising levels of childhood obesity are a shift in diet towards increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in fat and sugars but low in vitamins, minerals, fibres and other healthy micronutrients. A trend towards decreased levels of physical activity has also been noted.

ALTADRINE FAT AND CARB BLOCKER is a drink with an orange flavour that is bound to please children and could easily replace the normal popular drinks on the market which are unfortunately so high in sugars.

The Altadrine drink is sugarless and rich in fibre. Its main ingredients are:
•    psyllium - a dietary fibre that absorbs excess water while stimulating normal bowel elimination; a fat blocker
•    chromium picolinate - that attenuates weight gain and controls insulin levels.
•    white kidney bean -  a carbohydrate blocker. The white kidney bean extract does not allow carbohydrate break down because it inhibits the enzyme amylase which is responsible for breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose.
Preparing the Altadrine drink is very simple. Just mix 1 sachet with a glass of water. As the orange drink becomes an orange fibre gel after mixing, it has to be drunk immediately, for the more time passes, the thicker the gel becomes. The Altadrine drink will become a fibre gel in the gastro intestinal tract. It is recommended to take one sachet during high carb and fatty meals.

OBESITY MAY CAUSE
•    emotional and psychological problems;
•    diabetes;
•    high blood pressure;
•     heart disease;
•    sleep problems;
•    cancer,
•    other disorders such as liver disease, early puberty, eating disorders, anorexia, bulimia, skin infections, asthma, respiratory problems;

•    teasing by peers;
•    harassment or discrimination;
•     low self-esteem and depression;
•     premature aging of carotid arteries;
•    abnormal levels of cholesterol.

DRINK ALTADRINE FAT AND CARB BLOCKER and
•    Reduce availability of less healthy foods and sugar drinks;
•    Increase drinking water and decrease drinks with sugar, salt and fat;
•     physical activity;
•    limit time of tv watching;
•    plenty of fruit and vegetables;
•    healthier family meals.

SILVIA OSTEO PLUS WITH TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE FOR HEALTHY BONES

Healthy bones store about 99% of the body’s calcium; the rest is used throughout the body for other vital functions. Bones also house about 85% of the body’s phosphorous and 50% of the body’s total sodium and magnesium.

SILVIA OSTEO PLUS with TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE of ALTA CARE Laboratoires, Paris is especially recommended for adolescents and women above the age of 50 and those who do not consume dairy products. It is a source of calcium and phosphorus.


Calcium is one of the most important minerals in the body, not only for bone health but for other physiological functions, including nerve transmission, blood clotting, muscle growth and contraction, heart function, hormone function, and metabolism.

Phosphorus is the second most important mineral. It is a mineral that makes up 1% of a person's total body weight. It is present in every cell of the body, but most of the phosphorus in the body is found in the bones and teeth. The main function of phosphorus is in the formation of bones and teeth. It also plays an important role in the body's utilization of carbohydrates and fats and in the synthesis of protein for the growth, maintenance, and repair of cells and tissues. It is also crucial for the production of ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy. Phosphorus works with the B vitamins. It also assists in the contraction of muscles, in the functioning of kidneys, in maintaining the regularity of the heartbeat, and in nerve conduction.

Clients in pharmacies have 52 CALCIUM SALTS to choose from, too long a list to quote. What is important is the ratio between calcium and phosphorous. For this reason Alta Care Laboratoires chose TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE to produce SIVIA OSTEO, since calcium is the most important mineral in bones and phosphorus the second most important mineral in bones. Tricalcium phosphate also has the advantage that it is highly available because tricalcium phosphate does not cake as other calcium compounds do.

Alta Care Laboratoires would like to emphasize the importance of choosing SILVIA OSTEO PLUS because of the presence of TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE, in other words, the two most important minerals in the body, so vital for anyone’s well-being.

Silvia Elastin ampoules in pregnanc

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.

ALTACURA VAPOUR PATCH a sustained remedy for decongestion

The vast majority of those visiting a pharmacy throughout the year are seeking relief from decongestion. Pharmacists need to be prepared to counsel. Obviously the first-line of therapy for the common cold includes rest, adequate fluid intake, humidification for expectoration, and then come the decongestants. Decongestants are more often than not vapour rub creams or inhalers. In its never ending endeavour to improve upon what is normally available on the market, Alta Care Laboratoires, Paris has launched its Altacura Vapour Patch which has an indirect decongestant effect, thus being milder and more delicate because of its vapour form. Alta Care has made it a point to address the negative characteristics of most vapour creams and inhalers.

Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile liquid plant materials, known as essential oils (EOs) and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of affecting a person’s mood or health, thus his, or her psychological and physical well-being.

What Are Essential Oils? Essential oils are the subtle, aromatic and volatile liquids extracted from the flowers, seeds, leaves, stems, bark and roots of herbs, bushes, shrubs, and trees, through distillation. According to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using essential oils thousands of years before Christ to heal the sick. They are the oldest form of remedies and cosmetics known to man and were considered more valuable than gold. Science is only now beginning to investigate the incredible healing properties of essential oils.

The ALTACURA VAPOUR PATCH has 6 essential oils that release a vapour that produces a decongestant effect and gives a pleasant sense of freshness to the surrounding air. A normal vapour cream has only 1 essential oil.

Other advantages of Altacura Vapour Patch are the following:

• It is CAMPHOR FREE. Camphor is a waxy, white or transparent solid with a strong, aromatic odor. It is a terpenoid with the chemical formula C10H16O. It is found in wood of the camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora), a large evergreen tree found in Asia. In large quantities, it is poisonous when ingested and can cause seizures, confusion, irritability, and neuromuscular hyperactivity.

• The ALTACURA VAPOUR PATCH does not cause skin irritation, nor is it an eye irritant.

• It can also form part of one’s allergy treatment.

• It is suitable for children.

• Every patch is a monodose, thus there is no oxidization of  the ingredients as in the case of creams of jars that have to be opened every now and then.

• It is not messy, for the ALTACURA VAPOUR PATCH can be applied to one's underwear or clothes.

So the next time you catch a cold, be selective when you are about to purchase an aromatherapy product. Even the quality of essential oils varies from company to company. It is not uncommon for select companies to falsely claim that their oils are undiluted or pure when they aren’t.
