Sunshine Story: Knee Pain and MSM
We received an uplifting story from one of our customers, Nina, and she allowed us to share what she wrote to us. A couple of years ago, my right knee gradually started to get worse, and eventually, it became so bad that every step I took was painful. I had taken up running about a year earlier, something I had never done before in my life, but I had to give it up.
Success story: Caroline went from poor health to good health
After giving birth, I became really unwell. I could hardly take a single step up the stairs without getting out of breath. I had less energy, was irritated, had little patience, and was often feeling down. After a visit to the doctor, it turned out that I had poor thyroid function.
Success story: Perfect iron levels with Iron Response

A Sunshine Story: Choose Iron Response Instead of Niferex
We received a heartwarming story from one of our customers, which we were allowed to share: I had a normal pregnancy with quite a bit of nausea and low iron levels. It came with extreme fatigue, and my midwife told me to take Niferex, an iron supplement. She mentioned that constipation was a common side effect, but I could barely swallow them before throwing up. My body simply refused to accept them.
Success story: Panic, depression, and vitamin D
We received a heartwarming story from one of our customers, and we’d like to share it with you:
For four years, I lived with constant panic and a feeling of hopelessness. Everything felt dull and pointless. I couldn’t summon the energy for anything, barely even going to the bathroom to relieve myself. I thought, "What’s the point of us even urinating? It’s so unnecessary." Eventually, the panic worsened...
Sunshine story: SIBO, Dysbio-GI
We received an inspiring story from one of our customers that we’d like to share: "I’ve been taking Dysbio-GI for almost a month – one jar – and I must say my stomach feels much better. I’ve been to Asia (China and Vietnam) a lot earlier this year, and I think I picked up some nasty creatures in my stomach/intestines. I thought I had IBS because I was feeling so unwell and my stomach was acting very strangely, but now it feels good."
Success story: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), D-Mannose
We received a success story from one of our customers that we’d like to share: "This was the third dose of D-Mannose I’ve purchased. I’ve felt better after two doses, so I don’t need the third." /Christin A
Sunshine Story: Invaluable Help with Balancing Supplements
We received a heartwarming story from one of our customers, which we were allowed to share: "Hi Greatlife! Due to my passionate commitment to environmental issues, I lived for several years on a diet based solely on Swedish produce, primarily what I grew myself on my allotment. Other foods like meat, eggs, milk, rapeseed oil, and grains I bought from farmers within about a hundred kilometers of the city. I rarely ate fish and only had fruits like apples and occasionally pears."

Success Story: Joint Pain, Magnesium, and Vitamin D
I started experiencing joint pain at the beginning of 2012. It was my wrists and elbows that swelled up and ached. The pain subsided after 2-3 weeks, but then it returned, and this cycle continued.
How can I tell if a supplement is good or not?
There is an abundance of different supplements on the market, with more and more being introduced all the time. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to judge the quality based solely on the label’s appearance or the marketing material. These can be beautifully designed and very appealing, but they reveal nothing about the actual quality of what’s inside the container. You need to read the fine print, scrutinize every ingredient, investigate the manufacturing process, and, most importantly, find out where the raw materials come from in order to assess a supplement properly. This is not an easy task, but greatlife.ie guides you and explains what to look for the next time you choose a supplement. There are two important points you should keep in mind as you read this article:
Spit test (saliva test) for candida: not as reliable as you might think
Many people who want to test if they have candida use the so-called spit test, also known as the saliva test. Is it effective? Does it really work?
Quercetin protects against common bacterial toxins
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are fat molecules found on the outer cell membranes of bacteria. They can cause significant damage, but quercetin appears to offer protection.
Infertility and CoQ10
Sperm cells are extremely sensitive to oxidative stress, which is caused by an imbalance between free radical systems and antioxidant systems in the male reproductive organs.
Shelf Life of Probiotics – Flora & MegaFlora
Heat and humidity affect probiotic bacterial strains to varying degrees. Some strains can become unstable over time if stored too long in a warm and humid environment. Certain bacterial strains in Flora from Innate Response and MegaFlora from MegaFood benefit from being kept in a dry and cool environment.
Multivitamin-minerals are beneficial during intense training
Research shows that supplementation with multivitamin-mineral supplements reduces the negative effects of very intense training.
Vitamin D3 must be supplemented with vitamin K2
Many people take megadoses of vitamin D, but excessive intake of vitamin D can be unhealthy if extra vitamin K2 is not taken simultaneously.
Resveratrol improves the health of fat cells & reduces obesity
A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that resveratrol prevents the formation of white adipocytes (fat cells) and reduces the risk of obesity.
Quercetin – The Allergy Sufferer's Friend?
Quercetin, a flavonoid belonging to the flavonol subgroup, is a natural yellow pigment found in many plants. It has been shown to have several significant health benefits. Studies indicate that quercetin can help with common colds, allergy symptoms, and even lung-related issues. Quercetin is present in fruits, berries, and vegetables.
Probiotics can reduce pollen allergy symptoms
A new randomized double-blind study conducted in June 2012 showed that children with pollen allergies who received Lactobacillus Salivarius, a probiotic bacterial strain found in all Innate Response Flora products, experienced fewer symptoms related to pollen allergies over twelve weeks. Additionally, they were able to reduce their allergy medications compared to children who did not receive the probiotic strain.
Does Coenzyme Q10 Help with Depression?
Researchers administered CoQ10 supplements to stressed rats for three weeks, resulting in significant antidepressant effects. Additionally, it was found that CoQ10 supplementation protected the hippocampus from oxidation and DNA damage.
Supplements for Low Mood and Stress
Stress is a multifactorial issue that typically needs to be addressed on several levels. First and foremost, it is, of course, important to identify the sources of stress and try to reduce or eliminate them.
