Vitamins, herbs and nutitional supplements:

Your practioner may suggest certain remedies to handle deficiencies in your diet or to help solve health problems. Each clinic is stocked with products we have sourced from the very best sources. Some of these supplements are listed below.

Always take supplements with a full glass of water. Nutritional supplements are concentrated and can overburden the liver if not enough liquid is taken at the same time. Water helps absorption and is needed to aid in carrying the nutrients to the cells.

Remember, you can develop an intolerance to the ingredients in vitamins just as you can to foods. Learn to listen to your body. Given time, you will notice changes in your body and be able to identify the cause.

After the supplementation period is completed, decrease the dosages gradually so that the body has time to adjust.

Iron:

Iron is an essential mineral that can affect how oxygen is carred in the blood. Iron-deficient people tire easily because their bodies do not get enough oxygen. Iron is paricularly important for expectant mothers, athletes, women who have heavy or long periods and people with digestive malabsorbtion problems.

Iron deficiency is most often caused by insufficient intake. Deficiency symptoms include anemia, brittle hair, dizziness, fatigue, fragile bones, hair loss, nervousness, pallor and slowed mental reaction. Iron is required for a healthy immune system as well as for energy production.

Heavy bleeding, poor digestion, excessive tea or coffee consumption, strenuous exercise and heavy perspiration deplete iron from the body.

There are many foods and herbs that contain iron (eggs, fish, green leafy vegetables, beets, molasses, dandelion, liquorice, rasberry leaf).

If you suffer from any of the symptoms above then talk to your practitioner. You may need to add some iron-rich foods to your diet or you may require a supplement to add to your intake of iron.

Magnesium:

Magnesium is an essential mineral needed for bone, protein and fatty acid formation, vitamin B formation, muscle relaxation, cell formation, blood clotting and energy production. Magnesium can also help to lower blood presure (by relaxing the blood vessels).

Magnesium deficiencies can cause a multiple of health problems including loss of appetite, depression, listlessness, potassium depletion, abnormal heart rhythms, fatique.

Stress, caffeine, alcohol and sugar all increase the loss of magnesium from the body.

However, people who are active and exercise,those who are under stress, recovering from illness or surgery or under medication or smokers and those who consume alcohol all will need higher than normal amounts of vitamins and nutrients.
