Our wellness departments are filled with a lot more than simple vitamins and minerals. Weaver Street Market brand supplements run the gamut of uses, from supporting brain health to aiding digestion. Here are some of the items you’ll find in the wellness aisle:
Brain health
Humans are living longer, and we want our cognitive function to continue at full speed. Understanding of brain function has pointed to nutrients that can help. We carry supplements for Brain Support.
Digestion
Enzymes in our digestive tract enable our bodies to break down food and thus absorb nutrients. Some populations, including older adults and people with certain allergies, are at risk for enzyme deficiency, which can result in malabsorption, bloating, and more. Enzyme supplements can prevent this deficiency and be a natural alternative to antacids. In addition to enzyme supplements, we carry probiotics like Multiflora and fiber supplements like Whole Psyllium Husk, which contains both soluble fiber (which slows digestion to enable the body to absorb more nutrients) and insoluble fiber (which helps food pass through the intestines).
Eye health
People both young and old want to protect their eyes. The antioxidant lutein is key to eye health because it makes up the macula, a protective shield at the back of the eye. The lutein in our supplements is derived from marigolds and converted to the ester-free form needed by our bodies.
Joint health
Joint supplements include Glucosamine and/or Chondroitin, which aid in the regeneration of the cartilage needed for healthy joints. OptiMSM provides sulfur, which is found in high concentration in the joints, hair, skin, and nails; sulfur occurs naturally in plant foods but can be lost during harvest and cooking.
Relaxation and stress relief
Supplements can provide a natural remedy for stress. Melatonin, Valerian, and the botanical-based Ultimate Sleep Formula can aid relaxation or more restful sleep.
