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.

102. I use Valarian 470 mg. to sleep at night. Does anyone else use this? I was told by an ophthalmologist that everyone over the age of 50 should take a Centrum Silver, extra Vit A and C and lutein and then my internist wants me to take extra calcium. I also use echinacia to ward off a cold and Osteo Biflex for my arthritis.

105. I have a few vitamins I can't live without, but Omega-3 tops the list. My favorite supplement would be flax seed. I have my brand preferences but when I want to investigate supplements and vitamins without being sold anything I visit the Diet Supplement Information Bureau, a fantastic reference site that lets you search by disease or supplement.

106. To anyone out there who suffers from heart,circulation, high blood pressure or any other type of cardio problems, Look for products with an enzyme called L-Arginine. This is a natural enzyme which has amazing benefits to improve circulation. There are some really good sources for this enzyme available. You are welcome to contact me at: tprinceiii@aol.com
