At Healthspan, our expert panel of nutritionists and doctors has been working for many years to create a range of supplements to match our nutritional needs whilst striving to incorporate advances in the science of nutrition into our range. Here are just seven of many examples of our advanced range of supplements.

Cod Liver OilOur Cod Liver Oil is only sourced from sustainable waters. We’re also very proud that when independent tests were carried out on 33 different cod liver oil products, Healthspan’s was shown to be the purest of all those tested.
ChondroitinAll the Chondroitin that is used in our products is marine sourced and is included at a 90% concentration. Many companies choose to use bovine sources of Chondroitin, or use weak 20% concentrations, which are far cheaper, but less effective.
