Question: I suffer from chronic diarrhea. What can I do to help?
Answer: Having diarrhea can cause your body to become depleted in minerals. Supplementing with Kelp and Potassium will replace the lost minerals flushed from your body. To help prevent diarrhea, taking garlic and cayennes improves circulation and kills "bad" bacteria in the intestinal tract. Sangster's Herbal Fibre is important to act as a bulking agent, which in turn will prevent diarrhea, and help to eliminate waste accumulated in the colon. It is also very important to take probiotics daily, such as Sangster's ProBioTX-11, to keep your intestinal tract from becoming bombarded with bad bacteria.
Question: I'm experiencing leg cramps which keep me up at night. What can I do?
Answer: Leg cramps are painful and are a common problem. A good place to start is with a quality Calcium & Magnesium supplement. A deficiency in these minerals can be a predominant contributor to leg cramps and muscle spams. Being deficient in vitamin E also contributes to leg cramps. So supplementing with a natural source of vitamin E is recommended. An excellent homeopathic remedy to try is Hyland's Leg Cramp, which is an all natural formula specifically for your condition and is safe for children too. You can also try an essential oil massage of Sandalwood and Lavender. Add four drops of each essential oil into 20ml of carrier oil, then massage into your legs for effective relief.
Question: When I go shopping for supplements, I see so many different brands of the same vitamin or mineral. Is there really any difference from one brand to the next?
Answer: While most manufacturer's supplements appear to be the same, you must look closer to see what is actually inside that tablet or capsule. Always look to be sure that your supplements are derived from 100% natural sources, not all supplements are. There have been also new developments in supplement technology with the recent inclusion of special enzymes which can increase a supplement's effectiveness. This proprietary enzyme blend is called "Life Cycle Enzymes" and has been scientifically researched to produce better absorption of the nutrients in the supplements it has been added to. Life Cycle Enzymes enhanced supplements can offer you better value for your money, allowing your body to get the optimal results from the supplements you take, maximizing the benefits to your good health.
