Although classified as a non-essential amino acid, L-glutamine is essential for maintaining intestinal function, immune response, and amino acid homeostasis during times of stress, and thus is often called a conditionally essential amino acid. L-glutamine is released into circulation when required, particularly in times of metabolic stress. When the body is experiencing physical stress, the body may consume more glutamine than the skeletal muscle can produce.

A unique product is plant-based, made from the spring horsetail plant, Florasil® is the only vegetal silica supplement that is bonded with bioflavonoids, which help the silica make its way through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.Florasil® is produced according to Dr. Louis Kervran's patented extraction method, whereby organic vegetal silica is extracted from spring horsetail, using water instead of chemicals. Only silica prepared in this gentle manner yields a highly bioavailable silicate in the form of orthosilicic acid.This extraction method not only preserves the bioflavonoids necessary for the effective absorption of silica, but it ensures the retention of a spectrum of naturally occurring beneficial minerals including calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, boron, iron and phosphorus.NPN claims Supports healthy skin, nails, and hair.Source of silicon for the maintenance of healthy skin, nails, and hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes the growth of strong, flexible nails and lustrous hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps maintain the elasticity and suppleness of the skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy skin, connective tissues, joints and bones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks synergistically with other antioxidants to support the restorative benefits of collagen in every cell in your body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eINGREDIENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ingredients-list\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"medicinal\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eSilicon \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-amt\"\u003e5 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"title\"\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"non-medicinal\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eCorn Syrup solids\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eHypromellose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eMagnesium Stearate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eMicrocrystalline cellulose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FLORA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48767774228732,"sku":"16720311","price":82.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/6906\/7260\/files\/61TqNysoR0L._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1773421430"},{"product_id":"naka-platinum-organic-iodine-drops-100ml","title":"NAKA PLATINUM Organic Iodine Drops (100ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNAKA PLATINUM - Organic Iodine Drops - 100 ml - NPN 80145373\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelps in the function of the thyroid gland.
