I just wanted to respond to the guide about using vitamens and minerals. Always consult your physician before you start taking supplements. When you talk to him, take a list of the prescription drugs you take, in case there is one he isn't thinking of. I found out that Magnesium negates the effects of some supplements and medications.
Also, some people say take a baby aspirin daily as a supplement to help your heart. Any kind of aspirin (also acetametaphin, ibuprophen, etc) can be deadly if you take blood thinners like Warfarin or Cumadin. The ONLY pain killer that doesn't affect blood is Tylenol. Maybe that is why it isn't much of a pain killer :(

I have been working through glucosamine samples that I have gotten from internet offers. I also pick up samples at my health food store, which I prefer for that reason.
Several years ago I had a stroke. Recently (about 6 weeks ago), I ran across a article about memory loss and vitamins. It recommenced taking Vitamin B12 and folic acid. Slowly, but surely my short term memory is returning.
Hi! I heard from a friend that Fish Oil Vitamins are good for your heart along with helping ease anxiety. I tried it out for myself and it really has helped me so much, not to mention I don't feel the need for any over the counter medicine to treat anxiety.
Do you get an upset stomach when taking vitamins? I am currently taking calcium, a multi-vitamin, and biotin. For some reason I would get sick to my stomach. I tried taking them with food, and without food and nothing seemed to work.
At the first hint of queasiness or stomach pain, I take one-half dropper of Trace Minerals from BEST Process AlkaLine. I put it in a little juice or water and drink it. It is unpleasant, but not nearly as bad as vomiting.
If you use individual dietary supplements (aka vitamins and minerals) to format your own specific supplement requirements, it may be hard to remember how many of each to take every day without looking at the directions each time.
By purchasing vitamins and minerals on sale and clearance, I soon ended up with a bag full that I had to empty out each time when searching for a desired item.
