Health food supplements. What do Malaysians take? Do they really have any benefits? I have a whole load on my shelf - Vit C, multi-vits, gingko biloba, evening primrose oil, protein, fibre, collagen, Estime, lactobaccilus.. guess I don't have to take regular meals anymore. Edit: I'm the least disciplined person you can find and the lousiest at swallowing pills. I take Vit C, gingko and EPO daily and the rest, as and when I remember to. Oh, can you believe it, I found spirulina, psyllium and some kind of chilli juice in the fridge!

Can anyone recommend a book/web site that informs on use of vitamins/supplements for optimum health? I have read that because of poor quality of food and air these days we are better off taking vitamin and food supplements.

There are so many good answers here for me to follow up, thank you all for your advice. I am fairly healthy, but get run-down every so often and feel my body is lacking something, I'm catching colds etc much more frequently than ever before.

Are vitamins (food supplements) really safe? "Most of your supplements are loaded with hidden sugars, salts and harmful fillers. You’re really better off getting the nutrients you need from FOOD.".... "The supplements industry is not only completely unregulated, it is also joined at the hip with some of the biggest pharmaceuticals companies, which have their nutritional supplements divisions. The general public has been mislead for decades to believe that dietary supplements are safe and effective means of ensuring good health, when they are, in fact, actually destroying health." Someone else said that, not me. Comments? Thanks.

Is there a website that build a daily pack with the supplements and vitamins I want. name brands? I'm looking for a site that uses name brand supplements and vitamins to build these packs. I'm very interested in anti aging products so if they have lines such as LIfe Extensions and Solaray that would be great. I also like food based supplements so lines such as New Chapter Organics and Rainbow Light would be great. I can't be the only person who takes a lot of nutritional supplements and vitamins and is looking for a better way than using a vitamin dispenser. It just makes sense that there is a web site out there that lets you build perosnlized daily supplement packs from the same supplements and vitamins you can find in a great health food store but get them packaged into daily vitamin packs instead of all the bottles. I konw there are a lot people who focus on antiaging, longevity and alternative medicine that would want a service like this so I'm sure one exists. If one exists, I would love to know about it. Someone just told me about a site where I can suppelements... thats not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a web site that will build a custom pack of supplements with what I want in it.

Are you aware that the Congress wants to take away our choices concerning food supplements? Check the links for additonal info if you feel this might affect your and your family's and friends health. July 20, 2007 Health Freedom Threat PLEASE SHARE WITH EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK! Freedom Mouse Warriors to the Ready: New FDA Guidance Violates US Constitution, Prevents Truthful Health Claims URGENT ACTION STEPS: 1. The FDA has issued yet another dangerous, health-hostile Guidance with an absurdly short public comment period. Click here (http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/healthfreedomusa/campaign.jsp? campaign_KEY=12189) to tell the FDA that you value your right to truthful health claims and demand that the FDA adopt the health-friendly approach defined in the Health Freedom Protection Act, HR 2117. 2. Click here (http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/healthfreedomusa/campaign.jsp? campaign_KEY=11754) to educate your Congressional representatives to protect your health freedom by becoming a co-sponsor of HR 2117 in the House and introducing identical legislation in the Senate. HR 2117 would go a long way to restoring our Health Freedom of Choice. It won't pass unless YOU help educate Congress about it. PLEASE use your computer mouse - as HEALTH FREEDOM MOUSE WARRIOR let Congress know what you want! We need a MILLION messages so Congress can no longer ignore the Health Freedom issue! Health Freedom Protection will not pass either house unless YOU help educate Congress about this critical issue. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE use your computer mouse - become a MOUSE WARRIOR and join NSF in this effort to teach Congress what we need to protect our Right to Freedom of Choice in Healthcare. We need a million messages to Congress so "our representatives" can no longer ignore the Health Freedom issue! And, of course, PLEASE ask your friends and associates to join the Natural Solutions Foundation email alert system by going to http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/ and signing up as a Mouse Warrior. Background On July 2, 2 On July 2, 2007, the FDA issued a "Draft Guidance expressing its current thinking" on health claims, "Evidence-Based Review System for the Scientific Evaluation of Health Claims", http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/hclmgui5.html apparently in direct response to Dr. Ron Paul's Health Freedom Protection Act, HR 2117, http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-2117. Ignoring more than 300,000 letters of support for your right to truthful health claim information, the FDA chose to give itself a restrictive, dangerous and highly Pharma Phriendly regulatory structure to forbid that information. This time, let's make it a million letters. If you use supplements of any kind (or value the US Constitution), this issue touches your life, your liberty and your health. Now would be a really good time to take action on this critical issue and ask everyone in your circle of influence to do the same. By my count, the 60 day FDA Public Comment Period ends on August 31, 2007. Get the rest from
Anti-depressants versus herbal supplements? I was prescribed mirtazapine a few weeks ago for depression. I only took them for ten days. But stopped cos I didn't want to get hooked and I didn't want to become a zombie. I decided to go my own route and take supplements from a health food shop. I bought Seretone 5HTP, St John's Wort and Evening Primrose Oil. I'm feeling much better than I was, and have been taking them for 10 days now. Anyone else used alternative medicine to beat depression? If so, what? I want to fill myself with as many good things as possible :-) bawbag... I totally agree. The very fact I was prescribed them scared the cr!p out of me. Well done to you too, I will try the water & diet, thanks :-)
Is a Vegan Diet Healthy? What type of foods/supplements should I take along with it.? I have done a lot of research & I believe that a Vegan diet is the way to go. I have been vegan for 2 or three months now, strictly. My only problem is when I go places like friends & relatives, they eat according to the food pyramid or far worse, and as the bible instructs us, I have always ate what they offered without complaining. This happened 4 times total that I can think of. Many people (my dad, my sister, my brother in law, my mom), have been telling me that I am really hurting myself by being vegan & I need protein. Well, last night, I had a lot of protein (lasagna), as well as a large salad (fiber). As it is said, the fiber, helps detox the junk in the non organic lasagna. WELL, I was SICK and still am now. So, without something like, "you need protein" please tell me if a vegan diet is healthy or not. Tell me why I got sick from the meat and dairy yesterday & what type of supplements I should take. Many people say it causes health problems but do not say what problems. WHAT

Protecting Health Freedom: By Ron Paul? Before the U.S. House of Representatives on May 2, 2007 Madam Speaker, I rise to introduce the Health Freedom Protection Act. This bill restores the First Amendment rights of consumers to receive truthful information regarding the benefits of foods and dietary supplements by codifying the First Amendment standards used by federal courts to strike down the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) efforts to censor truthful health claims. The Health Freedom Protection Act also stops the Federal Trade Commissions (FTC) from censoring truthful health care claims. The American people have made it clear they do not want the federal government to interfere with their access to dietary supplements, yet the FDA and the FTC continue to engage in heavy-handed attempts to restrict such access. The FDA continues to frustrate consumers' efforts to learn how they can improve their health even after Congress, responding to a record number of constituents' comments, passed the Dietary Supplement and Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). FDA bureaucrats are so determined to frustrate consumers' access to truthful information that they are even evading their duty to comply with four federal court decisions vindicating consumers' First Amendment rights to discover the health benefits of foods and dietary supplements. FDA bureaucrats have even refused to abide by the DSHEA section allowing the public to have access to scientific articles and publications regarding the role of nutrients in protecting against diseases by claiming that every article concerning this topic is evidence of intent to sell a drug. Because of the FDA's censorship of truthful health claims, millions of Americans may suffer with diseases and other health care problems they may have avoided by using dietary supplements. For example, the FDA prohibited consumers from learning how folic acid reduces the risk of neural tube defects for four years after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended every woman of childbearing age take folic acid supplements to reduce neural tube defects. This FDA action contributed to an estimated 10,000 cases of preventable neural tube defects! The FDA also continues to prohibit consumers from learning about the scientific evidence that glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis; that omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of sudden-death heart attack; and that calcium may reduce the risk of bone fractures. The Health Freedom Protection Act will force the FDA to at last comply with the commands of Congress, the First Amendment, and the American people by codifying the First Amendment standards adopted by the federal courts. Specifically, the Health Freedom Protection Act stops the FDA from censoring truthful claims about the curative, mitigative, or preventative effects of dietary supplements, and adopts the federal court's suggested use of disclaimers as an alternative to censorship. The Health Freedom Protection Act also stops the FDA from prohibiting the distribution of scientific articles and publications regarding the role of nutrients in protecting against disease. This legislation also addresses the FTC's violations of the First Amendment. Under traditional First Amendment jurisprudence, the federal government bears the burden of proving an advertising statement false before censoring that statement. However, the FTC has reversed the standard in the case of dietary supplements by requiring supplement manufactures to satisfy an unobtainable standard of proof that their statement is true. The FTC's standards are blocking innovation in the marketplace. The Health Freedom Protection Act requires the government bear the burden of proving that speech should be censored. This is how it should be in a free, dynamic society. The bill also requires that the FTC warn parties that their advertising is false and give them a chance to correct their mistakes. Madam Speaker, if we are serious about putting people in charge of their health care, then shouldn't we stop federal bureaucrats from preventing Americans from learning about simple ways to improve their health. I therefore call on my colleagues to stand up for good health care and the First Amendment by cosponsoring the Health Freedom Protection Act.
What can I do about finding LOTS of expired product at a local health food store? I went to a local independantly owned health food store today and was browsing through the aisles. I've worked for a bigger health food store for over 5 years and am familiar with lots of the products that they sold. While browsing through I found LOTS of expired products. In the supplements for example, there were things that expired in 2003, 2005 and 2007. This was in a few different brands. I also found a tea that expired in 2002 and saw little black bugs in one of the bulk bins. Who should or do I need to contact about this? Well Barry C....... I only brought that up meaning that I can tell the difference between old labeling and new. Plus the fact that the product was clearly labeled "EXP 2/2005" or whatever. The store I work for checks their products readily and does not have this problem, so I have not encountered it before. Don't be such a jerk.
Is there a book I can buy that is like a dictionary for health foods and drinks? I am wanting to buy some health supplements like protein shakes and powders that they sell at health food stores and honestly it's like reading chinese sometimes. I don't know what's good and what's not that good. I want to know if there is a book out there that I can buy that defines ingredients that are in health products, a book that is especially written for health foods and drinks. I will need a book that not only defines what the ingredient is but also explains a little bit on what it's for and how my body needs it or whatever along those lines. I prefer a book I can buy at a store and not online, if possible. Please let me know if you have any idea what I'm talking about and if there is such a thing. Thanks in advance!=)

True or false: Milk is a great source of calcium. 2. True or false: Most kinds of dark chocolate contain anti-oxidants and are actually healthy in small doses. 3. True or false: High fructose corn syrup is almost exactly like sugar. 4. True or false: Diet soda is a healthy way to avoid lots of sugar and calories. 5.

True or false: Hot dogs are only bad for you if they aren't 100% beef. 10. True or false: Too much fruit in your diet will cause weight gain due to the sugar. I will post the correct answers in 30 minutes. All the answers are false. 1 F Milk inhibits absorption of calcium and can actually create a calcium deficiency. 2. F Most chocolate is processed with alkali, which kills the antioxidants. 3. F High fructose corn syrup affects horomones telling you how full you are. 4. F Sugar subs actually cause us to crave real sugar even more. 5. F Organic produce is not subsidized by the US federal government the way non-organic foods are, so it's usually less profitable to grow organic. 6.

F There are very few good supplements for a healthy diet that don’t cause other nutritional deficiencies, and they are very expensive. 9. F Most lunch meats contain carcinogens from processing, which are directly linked to several kinds of cancer. 10. F fruits are generally very low on the glycemic index. Eat up.

Nutrilite Products (Amway) - Food Supplement? My sister is suffering from serios kidneys problem with >90% cells died. She has been installed a tube on her body for "internal body washing". I believe it is to replicate original function of her kidneys. After few months, her immue system seems to perform too good which results in high APO index. As a result, doctor has given her steroid. It seems that the only cure for her is kidney transplant. Recently, a friend has introduced to us Nutrilite products. We were told that this is actually food supplement which could help to build up body strength, to repair internal imbalance condition, etc.. Unlike medicine which could cure only symptoms, this kind of food supplement could help to resolve fundamental health problem. Any comment on the concept? Any comment on the said Nutrilite products?
Dying to loose weight....Literally? When trying to loose 80lbs, what is the best method? I'm tired of starving then binging. I don't want to go into a health food/supplement store and ask for advice, b/c i feel their opinions are biased, after all they are selling weight loss products.

What if the only meat you eat is beef? Would this hinder successful weight loss?
