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.

42. My bipolar(very serious bipolar) has been maintaining her health with vitamins designed for bipolar along with other supplements that were recommended and she is much healthier than she ever was on nasty prescription drugs. She can live a good life as long as she keeps on the vitamin regiment. Of course doctors think this is a lot of hocus pocus.

43. Beware of kava, echinacea, ephedra and melatonin. All 3 can have serious damaging results to the liver, heart and other organs if taken over long periods of time. Depending on its source, echinacea is safe for short durations. Buy vitamins and/or supplements from a reliable company. There is only one company that I know of that produces 100% natural supplements that have been rigorously third-party tested. This company has a proven track record. Send an email to bevsnutrition@aol.com and you will be given a link to these products. The choice is yours. Changing your vitamins can change your life.

44. I've tried diets and exercise to lower my cholestrol without any success, then my sister, who sells Shaklee products recommended that I take a dietary supplement - lecithin. Lecithin helps absorb fat soluble nutrients. In 3 months my cholestrol went down by 26 points. Needless to say I will continue to take it twice a day.

45. Just remember every body has different nutritional needs. Consult your doctor and never overdo any vitamins. They can also make you sick.

50. Being highly allergic to NSAIDS, I was looking online for a natural cure for the Osteoarthritis in my hips and knees and Fibromyalgia. I was desperate and close to needing a wheelchair. I was already taking several different vitamins and supplements that are supposed to help. I ran across an article about taking Niacin to maintain a good cholesterol level and decided to add that one too. Well after 3 days of 200 mgs. of Non-Flushing Niacin, I was experiencing about a 90% reduction in pain. For the 1st. time in years,I slept all night and my restless leg syndrome was GONE!!! I wasn't sure if the Niacin was the cure so I stopped taking it for 2 days and all of my symptoms came back. I started it again and the 1st. day I was better. I am no longer taking 12 Arthritis strength Tylenol a day and dropped the prescription sleeping pill I was taking. As an added benefit, my depression and fatigue are gone. I just wanted to pass this info on in hopes that someone else can benefit from it. Be sure you buy the Non-flushing Niacin. You can but it anywhere they sell vitamins.

51. One of the best ways to get nutrition is through Whole Foods, not fragmented vitamins. A couple things you need to look at with your vitamin, or drink or whatever you are taking is if there are preservatives (i.e. sodium benzoate - not very natural!) in it and if there is independent peer reviewed published clinical research ( in journals like the Journal of Cardiology) backing what it actually does inside your body, not testimonials and not studies done on individual ingredients. Juice Plus is the most thoroughly researched nutrtition product of its kind. There are no preservatives in Juice Plus and it has a Nutrution lable on it, not a supplement label because it is real food. You can get your children between 6-15 years old on it FREE. The best gift we can give ourselves and our children is good health. Check out Juice plus research and start getting healthier today. www.crow4health.com

59. I would never be without L-Lysine. If I feel like I am getting something or if I am about to go on a plane trip or an outing that may expose me to something such as a trip to the doctor office or hospital for tests or whatever, I take 2 the night beofe and 2 that morning and a few during the day. I am very seldom ill, and if I get anything at all it never lasts more than 24 hours and is very slight. It stimulates the immune system. A while back I had a grandson who wet the bed and it was persistant. We tried everything and finally gave him a few days treatment of the L-Lysine and he was done with it... like magic pills. I cannot be without them.
