| Product Description |
All of the B vitamins are water soluble and so cannot be stored in the body. They are easily lost by cooking, storage and the effects of sunlight. Each vitamin is chemically different from the others and all have separate functions in the body.
The overall action of the complex is to help maintain health particularly of the nervous system. B vitamins are vital for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism and the conversion of food to energy. They help maintain clear eyes, and healthy looking skin and healthy hair. This probably is the reason so many women take a B Complex supplement as part of a nutritional daily beauty care programme.
Being water soluble the nutrients are excreted in the urine if too much is taken. A well balanced, good quality formulation is all that's required for the necessary part it can play as a food supplement.

| Ingredients |
Not all nutritional supplements are the same. Almost all contain additives that, normally, we go out of our way to avoid when we buy food - things like preservatives, artificial colourings, fillers, binders - many of which can cause allergies in those who are susceptible. And certain 'inactive' ingredients do not always have to be listed on labels.
Following extensive laboratory trials, Bio-Health have perfected techniques that allow us to use only the purest ingredients, made to the highest pharmaceutical standards. Each Pure-fil capsule consists only of the supplement itself, unadulterated by any chemical additives.
PURE-FIL PRODUCTS HAVE:
NO ARTIFICIAL COLOURS OR FLAVOURS
NO SYNTHETIC PRESERVATIVES
NO CHEMICAL EXCIPIENTS
NO BINDERS, FILLERS OR COATINGS
NO ADDED STARCH, SUGAR, SALT, LACTOSE OR GLUTEN

| Review |
Bio-Health's Vitamin and Mineral Supplements are manufactured on licensed premises in Rochester, Kent. They are marketed under the Trade mark of "Pure-fil", owned by Bio-Health since the inception of the range in 1981.
Bio-Health Pure-fil products are guaranteed. Manufactured to the highest standards, they have the finest ingredients and are totally free from binders, fillers, glidants, sweeteners or any type of additive. The formulations have been assessed by one of Europe's leading Biochemists and we are confident this range is the best available.
We don't believe in high level vitamins or minerals. We do believe in the value of supplementing a poor diet with meaningful amounts of selected nutrients. There are special dietary requirement for certain groups such as growing children, students, pregnant women, convalescents and the elderly in particular, but also by those of us who have busy lives and sometimes eat fast or snack foods that may lack or be low in the vitamins and minerals required for good health. The modern western diet remains a cause for concern and governments in many countries try to improve eating habits to ensure better health for future generations. Whilst science is evaluating the perfect balanced diet you might choose to help ensure yours by supplementing with products from the Bio-Health Pure-fil range.

Bio-Health Ltd was incorporated in 1981 for the purpose of initiating a range of vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements totally free from additives.
There was then, as now, serious concern that many ingredients, not always disclosed on the labels, were being widely used in the manufacture of tablets being offered as "health foods". Health food retailers and their customers were becoming increasingly subject to commercial exploitation in an industry where pharmaceutical contract manufacturers, using mass-production methods, and who did not share the health food philosophy, became suppliers of nutritional supplements.
With the assistance of a major capsule manufacturer and following months of research and development, methods were devised for successfully filling vitamin, mineral and herbal formulations entirely without additives. The chosen form, a two piece hard gelatine shell capsule, was found much more suitable that the soft gelatine form which requires plasticisers and are prone to fungal and bacterial proliferation owing to high moisture content. Hard shell gelatine capsules, made entirely from highly purified gelatine, proved ideal for filling with uncompressed powders. However, vegetarians and vegans were unhappy to be using a product based on animal products. Therefore further research was undertaken to establish whether vegetable-based capsules could be used with the same results. Bio-Health are now delighted to say that all products in the pure-fil range now use vegetable-based capsules. The only exceptions are Evening Primrose Oil which remains in gelatine capsules, and Raspberry Leaf which is in tablet form.
The "Pure-fil" range of products was launched at the end of 1981 and extended to cover a wide selection of herbs in 1996, and the registered Trade Mark appears on every Bio-Health product. This is a guarantee that it is totally free from additives and of the highest quality. "Pure-fil" products have particular appeal to those averse to chemical additives in supplements and have allergic reactions to them. They are recommended by the Hyperactive Children's Society and approved by Action Against Allergy.
Bio-Health maintain a conscientious approach to the products they manufacture and now market plant ointments and licensed herbal medicinal products of the highest and finest quality, compatible with genuine holistic and "healthfood" principles.
