A Vogel Multiforce Alkaline Powder 105g
N$166.60A.Vogel Multiforce is a source of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium, as well as citrate and bicarbonate salts (alkalising minerals) and has a systemic alkalinising effect.
A.Vogel Multiforce is a multi-mineral combination product, containing health supplements (minerals) and a homeopathic complex that supports the body’s acid buffering mechanism by providing essential alkaline minerals required to combat a typical acidogenic diet (high in animal protein and low/deficient in fruit, vegetables and minerals) and lifestyle, thereby assisting in addressing the negative consequences thereof.
The negative effects of an acidic diet may include:
- Decreases in bone mineral density, which can weaken affect the formation of bones and teeth.
- Joint pain and reduced mobility/flexibility.
- Kidney stones.
- Worsening of symptoms of osteoarthritis, such as pain and stiffness.
- Pain and discomfort of the digestive tract due to excess acid.
- Compromised physical performance, fatigue and delayed recovery post-exercise Fatigue and delay in recovery after exercise.
- Increased uric acid levels and episodes of gout.
The systemic alkalizing effect of A.Vogel Multiforce® Alkaline Powder was confirmed in a double-blind, placebo controlled cross over trial in which a sustained increase in urinary pH was achieved, urine pH specifically reflecting dietary acid-base load and more alkaline urine being specifically associated with an alkaline diet.
By correcting systemic acidity, A.Vogel Multiforce® Alkaline Powder significantly reduced joint pain, tenderness and stiffness in just two weeks in patients with osteoarthritis of the hands with the majority being able to stop or reduce their painkiller use.

A Vogel Multiforce Alkaline Powder Lemon 105g
N$156.35A multi-mineral dietary supplement that is proven to increase urinary pH. An increase in urinary pH is associated with a more alkaline body pH meaning there is less acidity in the body.

This impacts your general health and energy levels, leading to many common health niggles such as heartburn, headaches and gout.

- Adults: Add a heaped teaspoon or medicine measure (7.5 g) or the contents of one 7,5 g sachet of the powder to a large glass of water, stir well and drink once a day on an empty stomach
- Dosage may be increased by adults to 15 g(two heaped teaspoons) per day if needed
- Children 6-12 years: Half a medicine-measure daily

Ingredients:
Powder: Hypoxis hemerocallidea
Tincture : Hypoxis hemerocallidea 20000mg, Rain Water & 99% Laboratory Grade Ethanol
The incorrectly used name ‘African Potato’ was most likely introduced by the media in early 1997, when the hype around this plant arose, possibly after the Afrikaans “Afrika-patat”, since the tuber resembled a ‘patat’ or sweet potato. However, it is a corm (compressed underground stem, developing vertically) and not a tuber, like the potato, developing horizontally
This amazing grass species has been used extensively by the many tribes of South Africa, as well as neighbouring countries.
Inyanga’s and Sangoma’s use infusions of the corm to treat dizziness and bladder infections, and decoctions are given as tonics or applied to burns – it is also a go-to for immune support and sinus related issues. With modern research we can see that anti-cancer, anti-HIV and anti-inflammatory activity are ascribed to this plant’s vast array of phytochemicals. African potato contains several active ingredients that are of interest, including a nor- lignan glycoside called hypoxoside, rooperol and beta-sitosterol, it also has a high sterol and sterolin content.
Once in the body, the chemical hypoxoside is converted into its aglycone – rooperol, a potent antioxidant. Rooperol has several biological activities, it is antimutagenic and cytotoxic to cancer cells, and ongoing research into hypoxis shows antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anticonvulsant and anti-cancer activity. We also know that this small grass can help in the treatment of benign prostate hypertrophy because of the activity of sitosterols which are ascribed to inhibition of 5α – reductase which decreases binding of dihydrotestosterone within the prostate.
Sterols and sterolins have been shown to be beneficial at enhancing an under-active immune system. Research has shown that these chemicals appear to alert the immune system to produce more CD4 – T cells – lymphocytes which are then made available to destroy invading viruses and bacteria which cause bodily harm.
Because of African potato’s success in treating many ailments, this plant is fast becoming over harvested in the wild. We create hydro-ethanolic extracts with ethically harvested wild African potato corm. Our powdered African potato is created with grown plants to minimize the effect on rapid declining reserves.

Ingredients:
Powder: Lessertia frutescens (cancer bush)
Tincture – Lessertia frutescens 20000mg, Rain Water & 99% Laboratory Grade Ethanol
Classified as the only true indigenous tonic or adaptogen of South Africa, this amazing plant deserves higher recognition in the world due to its long list of medicinal benefits. Cancerbush has enjoyed a long history of use by all cultures in southern Africa, including the Tswana, Xhosa, Sotho, and the Zulu – who called it Insiswa (the one who dispels darkness).
Cancerbush’s use as a medicine reportedly started with the Khoisan and Nama people who introduced it to the early European settlers in the Cape. It gained popularity with the Afrikaans and English communities and has been used ever since as a Cape remedy for cancers and as a bitter tonic for many ailments and maladies.
Traditional uses for this amazing plant include the treatment of depression and anxiety, asthma and bronchitis, kidney infections, moderate hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome and more recently as a treatment for both HIV/Aids and cancer.
The therapeutic properties of Cancer Bush are based on its ability to help the human body mobilize its own immunologic and physiologic resources to help combat diseases and fight mental and emotional stress. Several complex compounds have been isolated including canavanine (non-protein α-amino acid), triterpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, γ- aminobutyric acid (GABA) and pinitol.
Canavanine is the most important nonprotein amino acid found in the leaves of Cancer Bush as it is thought to be the major anticancer agent, it also has potent antiviral activity against influenza and retroviruses.
Significant amounts of GABA have also been found in Cancer Bush. This compound is an inhibitory neurotransmitter useful in the treatment of stress and anxiety
Flavonoids isolated in this amazing herb have shown many health-protecting effects, including anticancer, antiviral, anti-osteoporotic and anti-cardiovascular activity. They have also been found to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic anti-microbial, chemoprotective, and antioxidant effects which substantiate Cancerbush’s use in traditional medicine.
As a bitter tonic (and we mean bitter) it also exhibits some benefits for the gastrointestinal tract.

Classified as the only true indigenous tonic or adaptogen of South Africa, this amazing plant deserves higher recognition in the world due to its long list of medicinal benefits. Cancerbush has enjoyed a long history of use by all cultures in southern Africa, including the Tswana, Xhosa, Sotho, and the Zulu – who called it Insiswa (the one who dispels darkness).
Cancerbush’s use as a medicine reportedly started with the Khoisan and Nama people who introduced it to the early European settlers in the Cape. It gained popularity with the Afrikaans and English communities and has been used ever since as a Cape remedy for cancers and as a bitter tonic for many ailments and maladies.
Traditional uses for this amazing plant include the treatment of depression and anxiety, asthma and bronchitis, kidney infections, moderate hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome and more recently as a treatment for both HIV/Aids and cancer.
