Why
Healthspan Life?
Healthspan Life! Is a range of complementary health
products specifically designed to promote healthy aging.
The range comprises a flagship trio – the Healthspan
Anti-Aging Blend, Enhanced Vitamin C, and Salmon Oil
– as well as individual condition-specific powder
blends. The flagship trio, taken daily, is likely to
significantly improve health and reduce the risk of
early death from disease.
Condition-specific powders are available for the prevention
and sometimes supportive treatment of many ubiquitous
ailments – from stress and fatigue to arthritis,
chilblains to Alzheimer’s.
Development of the Range
and Safety Concerns
The range has been developed by the Healthspan Life
Foundation, under the leadership of specialist physician
Dr Neil Burman of Cape Town, South
Africa. Dr Burman has carefully selected each ingredient
only after extensive evidence-based research of its
actual medical value, and after weighing its risks and
benefits. The flagship trio has been tested by and subsequently
registered with the South African Medical Research Council.
The remainder of the health powders are made to the
same exacting research, medical and quality standards
as the flagship trio.
The safety of health supplements is paramount, and each
tub comes with detailed instructions, indications, contents,
and any contra-indications or warnings. The vast majority
of the powders are composed so that even massive overdose
(taking the entire tub at once) will not result in any
serious injury or illness.
The various blends have been used and tested for the
last three years by a growing number of satisfied people.
Sales to the general public are growing as people discover
the benefits for themselves.
Why Powders?
Except for fish oil caps, the range consists entirely
of powders. Firstly, powders lend themselves to easy
personalized dosing. Secondly, they are significantly
cheaper to produce than pills, and this saving is passed
on to consumers, making healthy aging affordable to
more people.
The Healthspan Life! Range is currently available from
health shops in Cape Town, from the Life! offices in
Claremont, Cape Town, and by mail order.
