Food supplements to be launched

Dubai: A range of vitamin and mineral supplements approved by the Halal Food Authority will be launched at the Arab Health fair. The event will take place at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, from January 26 to 29.

Omega 3, Vitamin C, Calcium and Vitamin D and Iron will be included in the range by Principle Healthcare.

Martin Hendron, Export Manager of Principle Healthcare said: "We have worked closely with the Halal Food Authority to develop this range of vitamins and we are delighted to be able to launch these unique supplements at Arab Health." Taking supplements can help people in many ways including preventing vitamin and mineral deficiencies, providing amounts of nutrients larger than the diet can provide and also protecting against future disease.

"We are aware that different people have different needs so we are therefore continually developing our range to reflect this," Said Hendron.

Included in the supplements is BioCalth - a clinically proven, patented calcium formulation, which through its unique ingredient - L-threonate - has a superior absorption rate to other calcium supplements.

It also aids the formation of collagen and cartilage, strengthening bones and increasing bone density.
