Naka Brand Silicea gel is amazing for strengthening your nails.  If you always have had ripples in your nails or if they are very thin and break all the time, this is a sure sign of a silicea deficiency.  If your hair just won’t grow and it is falling out or it is thin with no life, definitely include silicea in your vitamin regime every day!  When it comes to hair there are many components.  Protein is very important and if you are vegetarian you may want to consider vegan protein sources such as Pumpkin Seed Protein by Omega Nutrition. Or Sequel Naturals has an excellent Vegan protein meal replacement as well.  Hair is complicated to fix in that there is not always one easy solution.  Often times it is a mineral problem, protein protein, and basically nutrient absorption problem.  That is why it is also important for people to take digestive enzymes when nutrients are not getting absorbed properly.  A great brand for digestive enzymes would be: Renew Life!

Research states that Vitamin D deficiency in adults can lead to osteopenia, osteoporosis, depressed moods, sleeping problems, muscle weakness, fractures, cancers, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. There is also some evidence that Vitamin D may reduce several types of cancer and type-1 diabetes.  Many of us especially women walk around with tiny little fractures and silcea is a mineral that is very important to combat against osteopenia (the precursor of osteoporosis) but Vitamin D also plays a vital role in preventing fractures.  Vitamin D helps absorb your calcium so it is not not just sitting there doing nothing.  Reality is calcium is useless if it doesn’t get absorbed so make sure you take a good form of calcium, such as a calcium citrate with Vitamin D and magnesium.  Keep in mind there are even better calciums such as Coral Calcium and if you are older, already have osteoporosis, or there is osteoporosis in your family the AOR Brand Bone Basics is top notch.  At Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus we can take the time to explain all the differences and we can find you what suites your needs based on gender, age, family history etc.   

So how much Vitamin D should you take?

There are many answers.  The recommended daily value still remains at 1000iu for adults.  Then there are other factors such as: age, your current health condition (for example if you have osteoporosis), and where you live.  Basically at the moment somewhere between 1000iu and 2000iu is good.  However, there are many studies where people have reversed osteoporosis with very high levels of vitamin D, and if you wish to do this see your doctor or your naturopath.   Another point about Vitamin D is many people say  “the sun gives you Vitamin D.” Remember that your body produces the Vitamin D, but when the sun is absent, your body cannot produce it. 

Good Brands?

There are many: Natural Factors, AOR Drops, Sisu Sublingual, those are some suggestions.

So keep things simple this winter, elevate your mood and keep yourself healthy by remembering to take your Vitamin D.  Vitamin D3 is what you will be looking for in the health store.  As always we look forward to helping you with your health care needs at Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus! Take care and thanks for reading.

Many people are afraid of Osteoporosis, but with Bone Basics the pressure can be lifted somewhat.  The key is consistency when using a product like this.  You also must stick to the dosage, which is 6 capsules a day.  This may seem like a lot, but it is safe, natural and it works.  To get the maximum benefit out of using this product, think of it as important as brushing your teeth, meaning take 3 in the morning and 3 at night.  It’s worth it when you consider that this calcium has been proven with over 30 years of clinical trials to be the best source of calcium that actually builds bone. 

The trouble with Osteo is you can’t see it.  Generally we are more concerned about wrinkles, because that is something we see as a sign of aging that is apparent everyday when we look in the mirror.  To demonstrate the importance of the Human skeleton, remember that we consist of 206 bones, and this vital structure is what holds us together.  We must not take our foundation for granted; it’s time to preserve, nurture and maintain our bone density.   

Why is AOR’s Bone Basics so special?  As mentioned above it uses MCHC which is a freeze dried extract of the bovine bone that contains the calcium that has the ability to build bone.  It also contains: phosphorous, boron, copper, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D and many more micronutrients!  Whether you are maintaining the strength of your bones, preventing bone loss, or you currently are living with Osteoporosis, Bone Basics is an amazing product that will help.

As always thank you for reading and we look forward to helping you at a location near you! Either Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus.
