What you should be taking
- Basic Vitamins – Vitamins are fat-soluble or water-soluble organic substances essential in minute amounts for normal growth and activity of the body and obtained naturally from plant and animal foods. A, B Complex, C, D, E, and some K – I recommend Body Balance (a liquid whole food with vitamins and minerals), or Essential Basics (again with both vitamins and minerals)
- Minerals—Minerals are inorganic elements, such as calcium, iron, potassium, sodium, or zinc, that are essential to the nutrition of humans, animals, and plants. Trace minerals – same as above, but in very small amounts. A good mineral supplement has both macro and trace minerals—especially selenium , zinc, and magnesium—I recommend Body Balance or Essential Basics.
- If you have joint problems (arthritis, stiffness, disc problems) I recommend a good Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplement—either FlexeoPlus (a liquid) or Ultra Joint Forte.
- If you have nerve problems (sciatica, radiating arm pain, headaches, numbness or tingling, etc.) I recommend a B Complex supplement such as: Hypo-B-50 or Stress-Plex-Forte. Additionally, I recommend a supplement of Omega 3,6, and 9 fatty acids. These fatty acids are helpful for the brain, nervous tissues, and mind, but also for cardiovascular health and as a anti-inflammatory agent. I recommend Balance Plus for a proper balance of all three fatty acids. You can also get some of them in olive oil, salmon, avocados, and tuna.
