Neutrient Multi + – Advanced Formula Combining Essential Vitamins and Minerals
Taking Your Health to the Next Level
Maintaining a varied, nutrient-rich diet isn't always straightforward. Between demanding schedules, food processing methods, and the natural variations in fresh produce, even those with the best intentions can find gaps appearing in their nutritional intake. Neutrient Multi + is a high-quality, comprehensive multivitamin and mineral supplement formulated to support adults navigating the demands of contemporary life.
Developed by Abundance & Health, this advanced formula combines essential vitamins and minerals in carefully selected forms chosen for their bioavailability, allowing the body to readily absorb and use them. The result is a supplement designed to support several key areas that matter in daily life: energy levels, immune function, mental clarity and overall cellular health.
Active Forms That Work With Your Body
A standout feature of Neutrient Multi + is its use of active B vitamins. Rather than requiring the body to convert them first, these nutrients arrive ready to use. The formula includes folate as 5-MTHF, vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin and riboflavin-5-phosphate. These body-ready forms contribute to normal energy metabolism, psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, particularly valuable during demanding periods.
Minerals are provided as gentle chelates, chosen for both absorption and digestive comfort. Zinc and iron bisglycinate support immune and cognitive function, while magnesium citrate contributes to normal muscle and nervous system function and energy metabolism. Together, these nutrients provide comprehensive daily support that works harmoniously with the body's natural processes.
Beyond covering the essentials, Neutrient Multi + distinguishes itself by incorporating PQQ and Myo-inositol -two innovative ingredients at the forefront of research into cellular metabolism. This specialised duo works alongside intentional pairings, such as vitamin D3 with vitamin K2 for bone health, and vitamin E with Selenium to protect cells from oxidative stress.
Who is Neutrient Multi + Designed For?
Neutrient Multi + is ideal for adults whose daily routines place consistent demands on their bodies and minds, including busy professionals, parents, students and shift workers, where fatigue and inconsistent eating patterns are common.
Active individuals and athletes will find support through nutrients that contribute to normal muscle function, red blood cell formation and oxygen transport.
The formula is particularly well-suited to those following plant-based diets, as it provides reliable amounts of vitamin B12, iron and zinc in highly bioavailable forms.
Women at all life stages may appreciate the inclusion of vitamin B6 and magnesium, which help regulate hormonal activity and nervous system function, respectively. Other key B vitamins contribute to energy metabolism, providing support for both mental and physical well-being.
Taken daily with food, Neutrient Multi + from Abundance & Health provides reliable and consistent nutritional coverage, designed to support overall vitality every day.

Coach’s Role on The Athletic Health Care Team
Adapted from the book Sport First Aid (Part I: Basics of Sport First Aid) by Robb S. Rehberg. June 2025. ISBN 9781718216754.
The coach plays a central role in protecting the health and safety of an athlete. Every coach must understand the importance of excellent communication. Coaches, both head and assistant need to communicate with all parties (athletes, parents or guardians, other coaches and staff, and various members of the athletic health care team) involved in sport safety.
Coaches should establish and monitor rules, policies, and procedures with athletes, parents or guardians, and athletic health care team members alike. For teams with multiple coaches, the head coach should assume the majority of the responsibilities. Assistant coaches should stand by to assist the head coach.
https://www.human-kinetics.co.uk/9781718216754/sport-first-aid/
Additionally, coaches are responsible for knowing and understanding the rules of their specific sport as set forth by the governing body of the sport. Coaches must also know and understand the sport safety policies, protocols, and guidelines at their school or organization. Established policies, protocols, and guidelines guide the coach in working to ensure injury prevention, recognition, assessment, first aid, treatment, rehabilitation, and safe return to play. Examples include preparticipation physical examinations, emergency action plans, procedures for cardiac emergencies or concussion, education for injury prevention, guidelines for hydration, and procedures for extreme weather (heat, cold, or lightning).
The primary role of coaches is to minimize injury for athletes who are under their supervision. Therefore, as a coach, you are likely to be involved in each leg of the athletic health care relay – prevention, recognition and first aid care, assessment and treatment, and rehabilitation. Your role is defined by:
- Certain rules of the legal system and rules of your school administration,
- Expectations of parents or guardians, and
- Interactions with other athletic health care team members.
Minimizing the risk of injury to athletes encompasses a variety of coaching duties. As a coaches should perform the following duties to safely train the athletes:
- Properly plan each activity.
- Provide proper instruction.
- Warn of inherent risks.
- Provide a safe physical environment.
- Provide adequate and proper equipment.
- Match your athletes appropriately.
- Evaluate athletes for injury or incapacity.
- Supervise each activity closely.
- Provide appropriate emergency assistance.
As a coach, you should become familiar with each of the nine duties. The first eight deal mainly with preventive measures. Our new sixth edition of Sport First Aid by Robb S. Rehnberg is primarily designed to help coaches handle the ninth duty.

Vibrational Sound Healing Miracles?
I asked a simple question;
“What is the connection between humming and the vibrational hum and the healing of bones.
When you look at, for instance, the Aborigines and the way that they heal bones as a tribal group”?
Consider this…
Humming and vibrational sound healing have been used in various cultures, including by Aboriginal peoples, as a way to promote physical and emotional well-being. The idea is that specific sounds and vibrations can resonate with the body’s energy fields, promoting healing and balance.
In bone healing, the vibrational hum may help stimulate circulation and energy flow around the affected area, potentially aiding in the natural healing process. The vibrations can also help reduce pain and inflammation.
Aboriginal practices often involve chanting and song, which are believed to connect the individual with the spiritual world and promote healing. The vibrations from these sounds are thought to resonate with the body’s cells, supporting the natural repair and regeneration processes.

Healing hum affect:
Cats purring ;
There’s an interesting connection between the vibrations of a cat’s purr and healing. Cats purr at frequencies typically between 25 and 150 Hertz, which are within a range known to promote healing and reduce pain and inflammation in bones and tissues.
The vibrations from a cat’s purr can have a calming effect on humans, potentially reducing stress and promoting relaxation. This relaxation response can have positive effects on the body, including supporting the natural healing processes.
In both cases, whether it’s human humming or a cat’s purr, the vibrations can have a soothing effect on the body and mind, promoting a sense of well-being and potentially aiding in the body’s natural healing processes.
“Mutant Messages Down Under” is a book attributed to Marlo Morgan. It describes a journey of spiritual awakening and cultural encounters with an Indigenous tribe in Australia. The book is considered by some as a work of fiction and by others as a memoir, and it has sparked discussions about cultural representation and authenticity
The concept of using sound or vibration for healing is an ancient practice found in many cultures around the world, including Indigenous Australian cultures. Sound healing, like chanting or humming, is believed to influence the body’s energy and promote healing.
The idea of healing a bone through humming in front of someone’s eyes, as described in the book, may be more symbolic and metaphoric?
While there isn’t scientific evidence to support such specific healing methods, many people believe in the power of sound and vibration for promoting overall well-being especially when amplified through ceremony and the gathering of harmonious positive visualisation ( affecting plasma field). Also sacred ceremony .
In history, various cultures have used sound for healing, from ancient chanting practices to modern sound therapy. It’s important to approach such practices with an open mind, recognizing the cultural significance and the potential for positive effects on the mind and body, even if the mechanisms aren’t fully understood by modern science.
A rabbit hole or 2 to explore for you if you like.
Consider;
- Music ( vibrations)
- Tuning forks and bowls
- Drumming
- Chanting
- Solfeggio harmonics
- Sonar
- Whales/dolphins ( song)
- The frequencies of plants and crystals
- Can we focus on how it feels when everything is in perfect balance… perfect harmony?
- Interesting …

A Beginner’s Guide to ME/CFS for Beginners with Long Covid
A public health crisis is on its way. A public health crisis that threatens economies throughout the world. Long Covid is forcing thousands of workers to withdraw from economic activity, as they become unable to continue in their jobs. This is a double blow to the economy, as they are forced to become recipients of assistance from public or private insurance against long-term disability.
While researchers engage in frantic efforts to understand this complex disorder, the most striking aspect of Long Covid is its similarity to ME/CFS. The US IOM report on ME/CFS concluded that the defining feature of this illness is that ‘exertion of any kind – physical, cognitive or emotional – may adversely affect many organ systems…’. [1]
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginners-Guide-ME-CFS-Guides/dp/0957181744
Exertion Is Toxic
The NICE Guidelines for treatment of people with ME/CFS have finally acknowledged that GET is harmful, and CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) is not curative.[2] However, those who support the view that ME/CFS, and now Long Covid, are simply problems of false beliefs and deconditioning are fighting hard against the revised Guidelines for ME/CFS, and seem to have influenced some providers of NHS Long Covid rehabilitation programs, which offer psychological support, and exercise programs based in local gyms, which reportedly encourage patients to ‘push through’.
It is not clear whether these services follow WHO advice that patients who have post-exertional malaise (PEM) – worsening of symptoms following exertion – must avoid exercise.[3]
Any programme run without regard for the dangers of exercise, and the importance of rest would risk driving Long Covid sufferers into more severe disability, as has been the fate of so many ME/CFS patients enduring programs of GET.
It is urgent that patients, especially new patients, get the correct information. It may also help them avoid the understandable, but exhausting search for the doctor/the treatment which will cure them. This doctor/treatment does not yet exist.
All we have, up to now, is the power of our own immune system.
Rest is Treatment
Consider this: your body is dealing with a very complex, unfamiliar virus. Our immune system has many ways to counteract this situation, but it needs all your energy to tackle this. It needs your energy, and it needs time. Full recoveries from ME/CFS occurred when patients were prescribed six months of rest.[4]
Exertion is Toxic – Rest is Treatment
This is the central message of A Beginner’s Guide to ME/CFS, but there is another.
In both ME/CFS and Long Covid, oxygen-deprivation due to blockages in the microcirculation can provide an explanation for all the apparently unrelated symptoms. In Long Covid, this is caused by microclots interfering with blood flow in the capillaries. In ME/CFS, hemorheologist Les Simpson found the blood flow problems were caused by non-deformable red blood cells. His recommendations for easily available supplements which helped many patients seem likely to be worth trying for patients with Long Covid.[5]
Two good reasons why this little book is a worthwhile purchase for you, or for anyone you know who is suffering from Long Covid.

‘You might experience worsening of fatigue and other symptoms (described as “crashing” or “relapse”) after minimal exertion. This is described in scientific terms as “post-exertional malaise”, or PEM for short. The worsening typically is felt hours or days after physical or mental exertion. Recovery normally takes 24 hours or longer and can affect your energy levels, concentration, sleep and memory, and cause muscle/joint pains and flu-like symptoms.
‘If you experience PEM, you need to avoid exercise and activities that cause PEM and aim to conserve your energy.’

The Universe and I: My Role in the Unfolding Energies of Life Paperback – 30 Oct. 2025
by Patrick Quanten (Author), Rob Ryder
Published by Rob Ryder. 30 Oct 2025. £15.99 / € 52.99 ISBN-13: 978-1068531576
The evolution of the universe, as manifested in changing energetic fields as well as in matter, is nothing more than the unfolding of an energetic process. Just as the bursting of a seed sets of a series of events that will manifest itself in the development of the specific plant, or animal, the universe is also unfolding its potential and we, human beings, are privy to this miracle.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Universe-Role-Unfolding-Energies-Life/dp/1068531576/ref=sr_1_1
We are also part of that miracle. How are we connected to the universal evolution? What is our place in the bigger picture? How does life truly work?
What is awareness? What is dreaming? What creates our reality? What drives our behaviour? How do accidents and traumas fit into the laws of unfolding energies? What does my personal power consist of?
Find out how a different view of creation, and life within it, opens new perspectives on understanding our reality. Find out how differently one can explain what we as individuals experience. For anyone to gain true knowledge, all that is required is to continue asking critical questions of all information that comes your way. Nothing is absolutely true and nothing is entirely false, as Patrick and Rob found out.

Willbe Launches the World’s First Hormogenetics™ Platform to Transform Women’s Health and Longevity
Willbe, the pioneering female health and longevity platform founded by Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur and biomedical scientist Yulia Mintchin, today announces the launch of its flagship genetic innovation, FemGene®, the world’s first test built to decode how women uniquely experience perimenopause and respond to bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT).
Perimenopause, affecting over 1 billion women globally, remains one of the most underserved areas of healthcare. Standard approaches often rely on years of trial and error, leaving women and their doctors frustrated, unsupported, and at risk of preventable age-related conditions. Willbe’s proprietary sciences — Hormogenomics™ and Hormogenetics™ — deliver a precision solution by predicting how a woman’s body will metabolize and respond to declining hormones, long before symptoms take hold.
Yulia Mintchin
Through its Hormonal Archetypes™ methodology, Willbe classifies women into clear hormonal archetypes rooted in genetics that guide treatment pathways with accuracy and confidence. Unlike traditional one-size-fits-all care, this personalized approach enables faster relief, longer adherence to BHRT, and ultimately supports healthier, longer lives for women.
“Perimenopause is not just declining hormones – it’s an epigenetic reprogramming event. The body says: the way I used to run no longer works. Whether a woman thrives or struggles is written in her genes. As hormones decline, gene expression shifts – driving how she ages, repairs, and restores. That’s why women on the same HRT dose can have completely different outcomes. By decoding each woman’s genetic blueprint, we can predict her hormonal journey and deliver targeted solutions from day one,” said Yulia Mintchin, Founder and CEO of Willbe. “This is the moment women move beyond trial-and-error healthcare into precision longevity medicine”
Willbe bridges functional and traditional medicine, offering women access to advanced testing, personalised longevity protocols, and expert support. The launch of FemGene® positions Willbe as the category leader in female hormonal health and longevity, bridging hormones, skin health and preventative medicine.
About Willbe
Willbe is a UK-based female health and longevity company, redefining perimenopause as the front door to female longevity. Combining genetics, hormone testing, and bioidentical HRT, Willbe’s Hormogenetics™ platform offers predictive, personalized healthcare that empowers women to extend their health-span. Willbe’s mission is to transform female health from reactive to preventative and to save billions of women the cost of unnecessary and absolutely preventable suffering. https://www.mywillbe.co.uk/ https://www.youtube.com/@my_willbe
