Do You Like Vitamins, Supplements or Both?

I woke up the other morning with a really bad sore throat. As soon as I told anyone, I started recieveing all kinds of advice. Take some zinc and vitamin C. Drink lots of hot fluid. Start taking echinacea to build up you immune system. Listening to all the advice made my throat feel better a few days later.

There are so many vitamins and supplements out there from vendors like Puritan's Pride that work just as good, if not better than OTC medication. I decided to find out what the top searched vitamins and supplements were on AOL Search.

Melatonin is at the top of our list and is used to treat insomnia. Niacin can help reduce cholesterol and folic acid can help prevent serious birth defects in pregnant women.

I was actually surprised to see ephedra on list. This dietary supplement found in diet pills stimulates the nervous system can cause high blood pressure and heart attacks. As of June 2007, the sale of ephedra-containing dietary supplements remains illegal in the United States, due to the health risks.
