A weighted vest has a double function:
On the one hand, the weight of the vest creates a certain pressure on the body, comparable to physical contact and a hug. As a result, the body produces certain hormones, causing people to experience a feeling of peace, security and relaxation. This particularly benefits people with psychological problems.
It is also a popular tool for highly sensitive children, children with anxiety and/or behavioral disorders or children with concentration problems. Using a weighted vest reduces the number of stimuli the body experiences. This allows them to feel their body better and are less distracted by external stimuli. This has a soothing, relaxing effect and ensures better concentration and sleep.
The collar and vest can be used separately or combined. Can be secured together with 2 press studs. The adjustable buckles provide the desired pressure on the body. Extra soft upholstery has been applied to the shoulders.

Met een Easly vitamine B12-tekort test kan je eenvoudig en snel zelf ontdekken wat de concentratie van vitamine B12 is in je bloed. Je kan de vitamine B12 test online kopen. Met een vingerprik neem je bloed af. Dat staal stuur je dan op naar het lab dat je binnen de 48 uur de analyse bezorgt.
Waar wordt op getest?
Holotranscobalamine, Vitamine B12
Wat doet vitamine B12?
Vitamine B12 is een veelzijdige en essentiële vitamine. B12 is onder andere betrokken bij de aanmaak van stoffen in het zenuwstelsel, de aanmaak van rode bloedcellen en de aanmaak van DNA. Ook is voldoende vitamine B12 nodig om het risico op hart- en vaatziekten laag te houden en speelt het een rol in het immuunsysteem. Een vitamine B12 tekort is dus belangrijk om op te sporen.
Vitamine B12 is een vitamine die moet worden opgenomen vanuit voedsel omdat het lichaam zelf geen B12 vitamine kan aanmaken. B12 zit in zuivel, vlees, vis en eieren. Veganisten lopen vanwege hun dieet dus een grotere kans op het ontwikkelen van een vitamine B12 gebrek. Het lichaam slaat echter een voorraad B12 op in de lever. Bij de meeste personen duurt het jaren voordat deze voorraad is uitgeput.
De opname van B12 uit voedsel, het transport door het bloed en de opname in de cel is een ingewikkeld proces dat vele specifieke stappen omvat. Ten eerste gebeurt de opname van B12 vanuit voedsel alleen in het laatste stuk van de dunne darm, het terminale ileum. Voor de opname in de darmcel heeft vitamine B12 een hulpstof nodig, genaamd ‘instric factor’. Deze stof wordt in de maag gemaakt. Personen die een maag- of darmoperatie hebben ondergaan, lopen daardoor een grotere kans op het ontwikkelen van een vitamine B12 tekort.
Vitamine B12 tekort
Een tekort kan tot een breed scala aan klachten leiden. Soms vallen jarenlange onbegrepen vage klachten uiteindelijk toe te schrijven aan een vitamine B12 tekort.
Omdat vitamine B12 bij veel processen betrokken is, kan het vele verschillende klachten opleveren:
Tintelende voeten of handen
Doof gevoel in de ledematen
Concentratieproblemen
Spierkrampen
Vermoeidheid
Kortademigheid bij inspanning
Duizeligheid
Haaruitval
Maag-darmklachten
Wanneer is een vitamine B12 tekort test aan te raden?
Als je symptomen ervaart die passen bij een vitamine B12 gebrek kan een vitamine B12 test interessant zijn. Bij een veganistisch of vegetarisch dieet of na een maag-darmoperatie komt een B12 tekort vaker voor.
Met de door Easly ontworpen vitamine D test kan je zelf nagaan hoe het er met jouw vitamine D waarde voorstaat, zonder de deur uit te moeten. Zo kom jij er in een mum van tijd achter of er sprake is van een tekort, een gezonde hoeveelheid of misschien zelfs een teveel aan vitamine D (een toxische hoeveelheid) in je bloed. Deze testkit is dan ook bedoeld voor iedereen die meer inzicht in zijn of haar gezondheid wil verkrijgen.
Waar wordt op getest?
Vitamine D
Zelf vitamine D testen?
Dankzij onze vitamine D test kit kan je voortaan zelf thuis testen of je te maken hebt met een vitamine D tekort. Dit doe je simpelweg aan de hand van een vingerprik, met behulp van de bijgeleverde prikker. Vervolgens stuur je de testkit terug naar ons op en zullen onze laboranten jouw staaltje op een vitamine D tekort testen.
Let op: voorkom hard knijpen in de vinger, dit maakt de cellen namelijk stuk (hemolyse) en kan de waarden vertekenen.
Waar zit vitamine D in?
De belangrijkste bron van vitamine D is zonlicht. De huid kan onder invloed van UV B licht cholesterol omzetten in vitamine D. Deze vorm van vitamine D is echter niet actief en dient nog te worden bewerkt door de lever en nieren alvorens de actieve variant van vitamine D beschikbaar is voor het lichaam.Een lichte huid maakt makkelijker vitamine D aan dan een donkere huid. Ook op oudere leeftijd wordt de aanmaak van vitamine D via de huid minder. De belangrijkste reden voor het grote vitamine D tekort in Nederland is dus tekort aan zonlicht, met name in de wintermaanden.Daarnaast haalt je lichaam vitamine D uit een andere bron, namelijk voeding. Voedingsmiddelen waar vitamine D in voorkomt zijn onder andere: vette vis, kaas, eieren en vlees.
Waar is vitamine D goed voor?
Vitamine D is een vitamine die belangrijk is voor verschillende processen in het lichaam. Het meest bekend is natuurlijk de associatie met gezonde en sterke botten. Daarnaast is vitamine D nodig voor een gezonde werking van de nieren en bijschildklier, een goed functionerend afweersysteem en speelt het een rol in de werking van de spieren. Een belangrijke vitamine dus! Toch heeft naar schatting ruim 60% van de Nederlanders een tekort aan vitamine D.
Wat is de oorzaak van een vitamine D tekort?
Een vitamine D tekort komt bij heel wat mensen voor. Dit komt doordat het menselijk lichaam vitamine D hoofdzakelijk aanmaakt wanneer het wordt blootgesteld aan zonlicht. Doordat we onze huid bedekken met kledij of weinig in de zon vertoeven, krijgt het lichaam vaak niet genoeg kans om de vitamine aan te maken en op te slaan.
Wat kun je doen om een vitamine D tekort te voorkomen?
De belangrijkste bron van vitamine D is zonlicht. De makkelijkste manier voor het lichaam om voldoende vitamine D te produceren is dus blootstelling aan zonlicht. Ook het eten van voldoende vitamine D-rijk voedsel, kan daaraan bijdragen. Soms blijft de vitamine D-concentratie echter onvoldoende. Dan is aanvulling met supplementen een goede oplossing. Vitamine D kan zowel in druppels, pillen als via injecties worden toegediend.
Heb je een tekort of een teveel vitamine D?
Twijfel of je een tekort of een teveel aan vitamine D hebt? Dit zijn de symptomen in beide situaties:
Vitamine D tekort symptomen:
Spierzwakte
Spierkrampen
Snel optreden van botbreuken bij ouderen
Kromming van de ledematen bij kinderen (rachitis)
Symptomen van teveel vitamine D:
Als gevolg van een overschot aan vitamine D ontstaat een overschot aan de stof calcium. Dit leidt tot onderstaande symptomen.
Hartritmestoornissen
Mentale stoornissen en verward-zijn
Pijn
Conjunctivitis (oogbindvliesontsteking)
Anorexia (geen eetlust)
Koorts
Rillingen
Dorst
Braken
