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.

81. I completely crashed at age 32. Couldnt figure out why I didnt have energy and I slept all the time. Only to get up and want to go back to bed. I followed the advice of Dr Joel Wallach. He is a Nationally Syndicated radio show. I have been taking his Vitamin and Mineral Supplements for 8 yrs and feel great. Energy and the ability to fight off infections in a matter of hours instead of days or weeks like most people. Not to mention normal blood pressure.

82. Since having 2 children in 1984 qnd 1986. and a miscarriage in 1988, which sent my hormones haywire, I started taking Evening Primrose Oil for PMT and Magnesium for chocolate cravings. A few years later I added the B vitamins.
In recent years I have added Omega 3, Glucosamine, Ginyko, Calcium, Black Cohosh, Clary Sage, Echinacea and Zinc. Recent bereavements and marriage break up have led to me also taking St John's Wort.
Who really knows if I need all these? But I'm not about to give them up because I feel pretty good most of the time. Even if it is the placebo effect, I am prepared to keep buying them. I don't spend money on booze and cigarettes, so can afford these supplements.
I am 52 and have virtually no menopause symptoms (occasionally I get a little warm at night and can be slightly forgetful) young looking skin, a new man, an enjoyable sex life and am told I look more like 45 (on a good day!)
My GP won't comment on the supplements except that if the St Johns Wort is working then carry on taking it. He just says that not every woman has a troublesome menopause and I may have ben one of the lucky ones anyway.
I feel that, before we had doctors to look after our health, the wise woman in the village would have prescribed a range of herbs with proven effectiveness.

86. I've found the best natural supplements at: http://wwww.NaturalNooks.com
It's an immune system support products website. Home of the "World's Most Powerful Antioxidant on the Web". This super-antioxidant is so powerful that it is a broad-spectrum antioxidant, fat and water soluble, with an extremely high ORAC value.
One capsule alone of this stuff is equal to the antioxidant power of 10,000 glasses of organic fresh orange juice! Unbelievable! This is so good, it has a US Patent and clinical studies to back it up with science. The product starts with a "M and ends with a Plus" and is trademarked so I won't mention it here but you can figure it out it's easy.
Oxidants or free radicals cause sickness, aging and disease so you know what an antioxidant does, right? Now, imagine a super-antioxidant!
There are other great products there also, especially that new olive leaf, mangosteen, acai, wolfberry, noni, goji, blueberry, aloe vera, kombu, etc fruit drink combination. It starts with an "O".
http://www.nanotechnologynutrition.com
Natural Nooks specializes in Immune system support products to neutralize free radicals, fight illness and disease, and for anti-aging to protect yourself and enhance your life, and the most powerful antioxidants on the web, and natural supplements for safe weight loss. They even have this cool chocolate shake that makes you lose weight in 10 days.
http://www.loseweightwithchocolate.com
You'll be amazed at what super antioxidants can do for your immune system, health, prevention, energy, weight loss and well-being. Give your body what it needs and it will fight off anything with the correct nutrients.
The key is the correct amount and potency of the phytonutrients has to be taken into consideration for any successful endeavor. You can't just rely on cheap knockoffs at your local grocery store when you really don't even know what is in the bottle and in what strength.
Oh, and don't believe all the nonsense propaganda out there that vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and natural supplements don't work, that you hear every day in the news. There is misinformation out there that is put out by certain individuals. If you research, you'll find that statistics can be made to look positive or negative and you have to know who is sponsoring the testing, ie., pharmaceutical corporations or an independent laboratory.
Everything can be backed up by clinical studies, even natural supplements and herbal remedies. For more info see my website. Have a healthy day or evening, that is. LOL.

88. Why so surprised in re Ephedra? It's not the same thing as Ephedrine....the FDA is so dumb!!!!

89. I was diagnosed with MS over 18 months ago. I've had symptoms for years but never knew what it was. When I went numb from my feet to my waist, it was time to see a doctor. At any rate I have modified my diet to organic and natural foods, limited dairy to cheeses, no pork, no beef. Important to note no food with chemicals including MSG. I have been taking supplements B-complex 50, B-12 1000, and most important L-histidine, an amino acid. Whenever I feel anything acting up I double the L-histidine (morning and night) until I feel better. I just refuse to take the Rebif shots which will eventually ruin the rest of the body. No guarentees but so far so good.

90. I'm going to get some Folic Acid. I would hate to see all those pregant women develop birth defects.
Oh wait, did you mean that the fetus the pregnant womon is carrying could develop the birth defect(s) without Folic Acid? I bet you did.

92. "Nutrex spirulina" which is blue green algae sold at the "vitamin shoppe" or online is a great wholefood supplement to take everyday for health.

93. I've suffered from two miscarriages due to unknown reasons. My OB/GYN recommended B-12, Fish Oil, Folic acid, baby aspirin and B-6 to be taken daily. I also read that a woman planning to get pregnant should take folic acid for one year before she gets pregnant. Whether this is working, I don't know since we haven't started trying to get pregnant yet, but I'm hoping for positive results. I have noticed that I didn't get my usual colds or the flu this year, and my nails and hair is stronger, so they are helping something. I'm also big on getting these vitamins/supplements from food, so taking these pills and eating right, God willing, will pay off with a healthy baby.

95. One of my favorite supplements is Magnesium, in the form of a product called Calm. It helps to release tense muscles, relieve headaches, PMS cramps, helps you to sleep, just ot name a few. For fat loss, my favorite product is Atro-phex by BSN. It is the best fat burner without side effects on the market.
