Vitamins and Health Supplements List

This vitamins and health supplements list will help you to understand what you may personally be lacking or what you may need to enhance your good healthy diet and improve your health.

In a perfect world, you would be able to get all the nourishment you need from the foods you eat and the things you drink. Unfortunately, as you know, this is far from a perfect world.

The nutritional values of the foods produced today are compromised, not just by depleted soils and farming practices, but by global pollution.

Not only do we not receive all the nutritive value and balance our bodies need, but we are exposed to the pesticides and the toxins that are absorbed by the plants and fruits through the air and water sources and, of course, let's not forget that it could become mandatory in the near future for all our food to be irradiated ! As it is now, most producers radiate our food as a common practice and on a voluntary basis. Thus extending the shelf-life and drastically reducing the nutritional values.

·According to a study published online in the Nutrition Journal. "Long term supplement users were healthier, less likely to have suboptimal blood nutrient concentrations and more likely to have favorable levels of key biomarkers, including serum homocysteine, C-reactive protein, high-density lipo-protein cholesterol and triglycerides, compared with non-users."

· Way back in 1936 - U.S.Senate Document #264 stated: "99% of the American people are deficient in Minerals."

·At the Earth Summit Statistics meeting in 1992 experts revealed information conclusively showing that farmlands in North America were (85% micro-nutrient depleted).

·( from the AMA Journal, June 2002) Every American should use a multi-nutrient supplement daily to address the health dilemma of our nutritionally poor diets.

To help you in your quest for a healthy - pain free - long and energy filled life - we have compiled this Vitamins and Health Supplements List.

We make note of the reasons why we use individual products in hopes that it will help you understand the benefits of each item. In this way,you will be able to make an informed decision as to whether you may need any of the items listed.

You may also have a compromised immune system and/ or an inability to absorb all the vitamins and healthy nutrition from your foods.

If that is the case,a few extra supplements may be something to consider and may be just the boost you need to begin feeling better. You can have a look at the list and decide for yourself.

This vitamins and health supplements list was compiled with the help of a very good friend with over 30 years experience with hundreds of people. In a recent conversation with her she said that when she was in the medical field as a nurse and even before that, her studies included natural methods of healing and nutrition, so her experience covers more than 50 years , all together. She has studied and continues to study Nutrition and Natural healing and holistic health and natural health alternatives. She is very well respected and has been contacted and consulted by many people, including doctor's for years now. Her positive results are the reason why we started this website.

The current areas of research include the use of L-theanine as an alternative to "Ritalin" in children as well as adults. It is also being researched as a treatment for PMS - and in controlling certain conditions of high blood pressure - to help sharpen the ability to concentrate and to sharpen mental acuity - as an anti-cancer agent alone or with other cancer-fighters.

There is a lot more important information about the health benefits of this vital amino acid you need to see - Click here for our "L-theanine" page.

Peter Gillham's Natural Vitamins-Organic Life Vitamins: This is simply a wonderful FOOD BASED FORMULA . We drink it in the morning and also right before bedtime. It includes biologically active Aloe Vera and Multiple Vitamins - Minerals - Amino Acids - Antioxidants - MSM - Organic NONI Juice - Organic AGAVE nectar - all in LIQUID FORM for quick absorption and maximum bio-availability. I can't say enough about this formula we think it's great and so easy to take. I have seen other formulas comparable to this , but they are on (Multi-Level-Marketing) sites and even if you order automatic shipping, their products are nearly double the price. You won't find anything on the internet with such a comprehensive formula and such a low price. And since it's food based , you can take it whenever you need it. This past week - I was at the chain health food store in our town, they did actually have this product, but their price was around thirty dollars. Be sure to check out the price difference at Swanson's!

We absolutely endorse this product 100%, but as of today, it's a little hard to find on their website. I go to (Liquid Minerals) and find it there. I am going to speak with them again about this. But it's well worth the search.

Maximum Living MineralRich - This is nutrient-rich rapid absorption nourishment. The taste is tolerable, not bad at all for a mineral formula. It contains optimum levels of 68 naturally occurring elements. It will give you a broad spectrum of support for the bones muscles skin and more. Mineralrich 32 fl oz Liquid.

Country Life Liquid Calcium-Magnesium Blueberry: Are you tired of trying to swallow big calcium pills ? This LIQUID FORMULA has 1000 mg. of Calcium, 400 iu of Vitamin D, 500 mg. of Phosphorus, 500 mg. of Magnesium and natural Blueberry Flavor . You can use it in the morning and right before bedtime.

Alacer Emer'gen-C Lite : We keep this on hand ALL the time. Put a packet in your pocket or purse take it with you to work or wherever. We drink it first thing in the morning and around 3 in the afternoon to ward off the afternoon slump. It's also a convenient product to use in place of Gatorade. It delivers 8 times more potassium than Gatorade and 1000 mg of Vitamin C, PLUS 25 different electrolytes. There are lots of different formulas to choose from to suit your individual needs. It's fizzy and you can put a bit under your tongue for an immediate boost or put it in water or juice. This is a fantastic product and is recently been gaining in popularity. We have been using it for years and swear by it. Swanson's price is nearly half of what we see in the health food stores in our area. Check and compare for yourself.

Natrol Ester-C w/Bioflavonoids: This is another product we always have on hand. You can take extra to fight colds, flu any illness or toxin. It gives your immune system a 24 hour support without upsetting your stomach. On another page, (coming soon), I will tell you the story of one of our dogs who was bitten by a copperhead snake, in his little face. The use of the Ester C, and his quick recovery, was nothing short of miraculous !

Swanson Premium Brand High Potency Vitamin D-3: Like Vitamin C , Vitamin D is a sunshine vitamin. Vitamin D is manufactured in your body when you are exposed to sunlight. But some people living in the more Northern latitudes , especially in the wintertime may not have nearly enough time in the sun to build up the amount of Vitamin D you need. Vitamin D is needed , along with Calcium, so that your body is able to absorb and use the Calcium to help strenghten and build strong bones and teeth. Click here for more vital and interesting information about Vitamin D.

Swanson Premium Brand Glucosamine Chondroitin & MSM (Orange): This is another great LIQUID FORMULA! With 1,000 mg. of glucosamine, 800 mg. of chondroitin sulfate, 500 mg. of MSM and 200 mg. of Vitamin C. This is an excellent formula for joint health and so easy to use. I use it in the morning and also right before bedtime.

Swanson Ultra Feel Better Now!: Here , again, is another fine product that has a synergistically balanced formula which will address pain and not only diminish it , but help your body begin to heal . Many people take a few of the ingredients individually, but Swanson's has put together this premium formula which will allow you to take one capsule with everything you need to reduce pain and inflammation. This formula contains - MSM - Manapol Powder - LitoZin - Kyo-Dophilus 300 million live organisms - White Willow Bark - Quercetin - "ImmunEnhancer AG" - Curcumin - Ginger Root - Cat's Claw Bark - Cayenne Pepper - Cinnamon - Nexrutine (a patent pending extract from Phellodendron amurense bark) - Boswellin, Boswellia serrata - and Astanxathin. So , as you can see they have all the bases covered in this fine product. It works and we keep some on hand for inevitable muscle strains, or overstressed joints, etc.

Swanson Premium Brand Pycnogenol - "A double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in the Journal of Nutrition Research reveals Pycnogenol, an antioxidant plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, improved physical function by 52% in patients suffering from osteoarthritis."

“Pycnogenol was chosen due to a history of studies of the extract to alleviate inflammation by inhibiting COX-1, COX-2 and the pro-inflammatory ‘master-switch’ nuclear factor-kappa B,” said lead researcher Dr. Ronald Watson from the University of Arizona. “Pycnogenol offers a safe nutritional approach to significantly reduce pain and improve physical function of arthritic joints. It controls inflammation and thus ideally complements existing strategies that comprise delivery of ‘building blocks’ for replacement of degenerated cartilage.”

Sas Sales And Marketing Vitamin "O" Stabilized Oxygen : Liquid Oxygen supplement had been suggested to me a long time ago, and I dismissed the notion out of hand. It seemed to me to be silly, that's the truth. At a time when I was feeling particularly low, I decided to give it a try , since my Naturopath friend (with 30 years experience) suggested it once again. Still, I didn't think much of the idea. (Stubborn) NOW I use it on a daily basis . The difference it makes is nothing short of amazing. You will notice the difference very quickly after drinking , if you put the liquid in water , and almost immediately if you put the liquid under your tongue. We drink oxygen in water between meals. It also supports all the other health giving nutrients you are taking and enhances their effects. I spoke with a gentleman awhile back, and he told me he hasn't had a cold or the flu since he started using the liquid oxygen over 3 years ago. Keep in mind he is also following the BASIC KEYS. So the liquid oxygen is an important key , but not the ONLY key !Note:Use below dosage at first, and never exceed recommended levels - more isn't better.

Naturally Vitamins Wobenzym'N : This natural enzyme formula contains, pancreatin, bromelain, papain and other natural enzymes, including trypsin and chymotrypsin.It's backed by over 30 years research. We started using this formula a few years ago with great results. My husband and I noticed a big reduction of pain in the joints as well as muscle pain reduction. Start slowly with this formula, because as it breaks down the areas of inflammation, you need to flush your system of the by-products. If you have quite a bit of inflammation and pain you can gradually increase the dosage. I started with one tablet, two times a day and worked up to more, usually 3, once or twice a day, depending on the situation. We are NEVER without this wonderful product. It's also useful for athletic injuries. I heard that it is the number two over the counter product sold in Germany , just behind aspirin !
Be sure to check with your health care practitioner before taking enzyme formulas if you are already taking blood thinners.

THE ENZYME FORMULA ABOVE , HELPS DIMINISH PAIN AND INFLAMMATION !

Swanson Ultra Alpha Lipoic Acid: Assists in breaking down carbs and glucose . ( Helps with your healthy metabolism) It's a powerful antioxidant and free-radical fighter.

Enzymatic Therapy ADRENergize : This product was recommended to me, quite some time ago and we have recommended it to to others with exhausted immune systems. I noticed the difference after about two weeks, taken as directed on the bottle. Since it is a whole foods product, you may think about taking more in the beginning, then leveling off. Great as an immune system boost during times when you know you will be exposed to viruses, etc. I highly recommend this , from personal experience.

Enzymatic TherapyMetabolic Advantage Thyroid Formula This product has L-Tyrosine and a multi-glandular complex with Liver, Lung, Pancreas, Heart, Kidney, and Spleen AND of course "Thyroid" (thyroxin-free). Nearly my entire family on my Mother's side, experiences Thyroid problems and symptoms of low functioning thyroid. Most all the female members end up taking a synthetic thyroid medication "Synthroid". I don't plan on going this route with the help of our healthy living plan and products like this. Of course, consult with your doctor if you are already taking a synthetic thyroid replacement hormone.

Swanson Premium Brand Free-Form L-Lysine: This is an all natural stress fighter and immune booster. It helps regulate your immune system response - especially when you are under extra stress situations. We take extra L-Lysine when we are exposed to crowds, flu season , etc.

Lee Swanson Signature Line Ultimate Probiotic Formula: This formula is for your healthy intestinal tract and immune system support. It has 60 BILLION organisms per capsule , including the famous KYO - Dophilus blend. Be sure and take with food.

Kyolic Kyo-Green: This is a fantastic formula we have used for Years ! When I still had my Ladies Clothing and accessories Store, one of my customers recommended Kyo - Green to me. She attributed her remission and healing from (we aren't supposed to say the word) to Kyo - Green, Olive Leaf, and Organic carrot juice. She swore by all three. Kyo - Green is a land and sea formula. A great source of phytonutrients. Kyo-Green does contain wheatgrass. So use with caution.

I began taking this great formula and noticed an improvement in a little over a month. Note: this is a rather large caplet, so you may want to break in half or crush ! Believe me, for the price and the effectiveness, it's well worth the bother. I keep extra bottles on hand for friends or family who may voice a concern over the same problems. It works! It's as simple as that.

HELPFUL HERBS LIST

Nature's Way Astragalus Root

- The plant is one of the oldest used medicinally, dating to about 200 BC. It was known even then to balance the body systems and especially good for the lungs and spleen. A lot of the scientific data on astragalus comes from Chinese clinical evidence, where astragalus appears to stimulate the immune system in patients with infections. At least one clinical trial has shown astragalus to boost T-cell levels close to normal in some cancer patients, suggesting the possibility of a synergistic effect of astragalus with chemotherapy. Not often used by medical doctors in the U.S., but commonly used in Japan and China, where doctors use it to protect patients from the side-effects of chemo.It is a very beneficial herb. We take this to help boost our immune systems and for healthy liver function.

Nature's Way Cinnamon Standardized Extract - A recent study in the Diabetes Care journal has revealed that the ingestion of approximately half teaspoon of cinnamon every day can reduce the level of blood sugar in those with type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon supports healthy insulin function and helps maintain metabolic balance. We take a cinnamon capsule after a meal - OR . . . We add cinnamon to raw honey and coconut oil with a little bee pollen and spread on toast. We also put in tea or use as a tea after meals.

Gaia HerbsOil of Oregano : Oregano oil is great for gastrointestinal and respiratory support and healing. It also helps with any urinary tract problem. Along with Cranberry Juice and, a good healthy diet. To fight Yeast/Candida/Fungus, and bacterial infections, we use a few drops under the tongue several times a day. You would need to pierce the capsule for this - or get the drops. You need to experiment with this - for tolerance levels.

Essiac International Essiac Herbal Extract: This is the Essiac herbal tea using the same formula made famous by legendary Canadian nurse, Rene Caisse. It features - burdock root sheep sorrel slippery elm and more. Available in a convenient liquid form Essiac Herbal Extract 10.5 fl oz Liquid Essiac International.

A good friend of mine told me that an acquaintance of hers had been drinking the tea for quite a long time and had noticed that her skin had become clear of irregular and unsightly areas. I do know of quite a few people drinking this on a regular basis and with this new information, I think I will start on it more regularly now and I am anxious to see if I notice this effect. I have some in the refrigerator and we drink it if we think we are coming down with something for instance, a cold or other illness.

Swanson Superior Herbs Artemisinin (Wormwood): My Naturopath friend recommends this for times when you are concerned about insects bites, West Nile and Malaria or similar problems. Artemisinin is also known as (Sweet Wormwood). An insignificant seeming insect bite can escalate into all kinds of nasty problems , depending on the insect, of course. But even something like an ant or flea bite can flare up dormant health problems throughout your system. Artemisinin is so effective for health concerns involving the immune system that now demand is out stripping supply. I take it all summer long. It's a good idea to take a week or two off and then start it up again if you think you need it. We keep a bottle in the cabinet for ALL seasons. You never know when you may need it.

Swanson Superior Herbs Elderberry Echinacea Goldenseal Complex : All three are combined in this formula, no need to get each herb individually, they work together in this formula.

It also works as a diuretic which will help to flush out any infection and third, it will alkalinize the urine.

Swanson Superior Herbs Hawthorn : I use this to relax and tone the blood vessels and to help me keep my blood pressure at healthy levels. It is used for cardiovascular health.

Swanson GreenFoods Formulas Certified Organic Pines Wheat Grass Not really an herb , actually, but very young tender grass. You can go to your nearest health food store and get a shot of the juice or you can grow it yourself in trays. This is not always convenient, so to that end Swanson's offers a Natural Organic Wheatgrass product, for whole food nutrition. Think of Wheatgrass as concetrated SUNSHINE . All the best that greens have to offer. I asked my Naturopath friend about Wheatgrass, since I have Celiac disease. She said the young sprouts have not yet developed the compounds that I am sensitive to. This is a great product, but be aware and make a note in your Journal or jot on your calender how you feel when using this product.

Swanson Superior Herbs Fenugreek Extract : For respiratory function and health. It also helps loosen mucus. You can take in capsule form , or open the capsule and put in water for a nice cup of hot tea. We add Raw Honey and a little Organic lemon juice. Very soothing , it really helps .

Swanson Superior Herbs Chamomile Flower Extract : This flower can sooth the nerves of adults and children too. You can take it in capsule form, or like so many of the herbs, you can open the capsule into water and serve as a delicious tea. Great during times of stress or nervousness and in the evenings.

Earth's Bounty Colloidal Silver: Colloidal Silver is what we consider to be the ultimate anti-biotic, anti-virus.It is one thing that is still effective in combating infections as well as viruses. We are grateful that it is still available for us to use. It is versatile. You can take it by mouth or use in a nasal wash for sinusitis, nasal fungus , etc. ( BE SURE TO DILUTE) Keep in mind, if you decide to use it internally , you will need to increase your Probiotics and Soil based organisms as well as acidophilus to keep your digestive system running smoothly and efficiently.
