Golden Health Store in Longford

Here, Ewelina Tyralik, Catherine Hogan, Dorota Suska, Malogrzata Kowalcze (Margaret), Katerina Zenina, Martina Mulvihill and Angela Naughton review their favourite products.

Cold and flu support
Catherine says: “I only recently discovered New Roots Herbal Cold & Flu, but it was an absolute game changer the last time I started getting symptoms of a nasty head cold – it really reduced the severity of congestion and inflammation, and I made a swift recovery. It’s packed with some really hard-hitting immune-boosting, antiviral and respiratory-supporting herbs such as astragalus, myrrh, elderberry and echinacea, and has the added benefit of three medicinal mushrooms packed with polysaccharides and beta-glucans.”

Everyday omega-3
Dorota says: “I use NHP Omega 3 Support and recommend it to everyone. The oil is derived entirely from small, wild-caught deep-sea fish – not from the liver – making it ultra-pure and ensuring the EPA and DHA fatty acids are highly potent. These fatty acids are crucial for the flexibility of cell membranes throughout the body. When I take a high-quality omega-3 oil, it affects my daily functioning: those nagging, minor inflammations and aches subside, and I feel more flexible – both physically and mentally.”

For calm and focus
Margaret says: “One of my favourite supplements is L-Theanine from the Mácanta brand. It helps me feel calmer and more relaxed, especially during stressful or busy days, without making me feel sleepy or sluggish. I also find it useful when I want to stay focused while more at ease. Overall, a simple and effective supplement that I would happily recommend.”

A sleep essential
Katerina says: “MyoTape Mouth Tape has been a game-changer for my sleep. I used to wake up every morning with a dry, parched mouth and felt exhausted. I always wanted to try mouth taping, but regular tape freaked me out because I didn’t like the idea of my lips being completely glued shut. MyoTape goes around your mouth instead of over it, so I don’t feel trapped at all. It just gently coaxes you into nose-breathing all night. Now I wake up feeling refreshed instead of thirsty.”

Menopause joint support
Martina says: “Going through menopause brought sudden, agonising joint aches that slowed me down. I decided to try Planet Paleo Active Collagen Joint Support, and it has been an absolute lifesaver. Since taking it, my joints feel much better, more flexible and completely relieved. I love that it combines high-quality collagen with powerful inflammation-fighting nutrients like turmeric and glucosamine.”

Joint comfort
Ewelina says: “Natures Plus PRO Curcumin Longvida helped me a lot when I suddenly started to have pains and aches in my joints. The first dose (I took two capsules) eased my pain within two hours, and I could focus on my activities. It worked for nearly 24 hours, so I repeated the dose and then continued taking it for a few weeks. I was really amazed that a supplement can work so quickly and effectively! It is a great alternative to the painkillers which upset my tummy.”
