What one vitamin or herb you pilfer and why?
Answer:
I take vitamin B12 and folic acerbic every day. (1000 mcg of respectively.)
I suffer from clinical depression, and these vitamins themselves have be shown to cause flawed improvement contained by mood, says my psychiatrist.
Studies show that most depression patients are not up to scratch in B12 and folic sharp, as well as omega 3 fatty acids. (I try to get through more fish and eggs fortified with omega 3s, too.)
Vitamins B12, B6, and B9 (folate) work closely together to control blood level of the amino acid homocysteine. Elevated level of this substance appear to be linked next to heart disease and, possibly, depression and Alzheimer's Disease.
Well I don't just cart one. I have several. Unlike that couple I saw on TV awhile back 27+ respectively day.
Vitamin A and Beta Carotene and Eyebright for my eyes.
Zinc, Magnesium, Vitamin E, Saw Palmetto, to restore my manly functions.
one that i don't miss taking each day is cinnamon.. it helps control my blood sugar...
CoQ10 dietary supplements. I own cardiomyopathy at 40 and i read from the internet that it is good for the heart. Also devout for the gums... not proven though. But what the heck, maybe it is since i've never have gum or teeth problems ever since
I take a traditional chinese remedy call Goji (known in the west by the botanical describe Lycium barbarum and the common dub Wolfberry) daily, because it is chock-full with nutrients (19 kind of amino acids and 21 trace minerals) and is the richest food source of carotenoids and is one of the most powerful antioxidants around - it has 500 times the amount of vitamin C by consignment as oranges.
They have be used for thousands of years in the east, and are becoming popular surrounded by the west thanks to the research of Dr Earl Mindell (author of The Vitamin Bible), one of the ascendant nutritionists around. There is a lot of research that have been done on Goji - over 70 studies are available at http://www.pubmed.org (search for Lycium barbarum).
I've taken assorted supplements over the years, but since a natural psychotherapist introduced me to Goji last year, I've stopped taking everything else; Goji have so much in it, that I don't see the have need of to use anything else - and that certainly make life simpler!
You can find more information more or less the benefits of taking Goji at http://www.gojimedia.com.au/info/... . I buy mine in a gooey form (which is yummy, which makes fairly a change from most other things I've tried!) online from http://soundhealthwa.freelife.com...
