GLA is a ” Very” Essential Fat! As many of us know, unfortunately the North American diet is made up predominantly of bad fats from red meats and processed foods.

Women are always looking for something to ease PMS symptoms, GLA can help! In many women with breast pain and terrible PMS their ability to make GLA is often impaired.

Dr. Oz: Should Men and Women Take Different Vitamins?
Categories: Alive Brand, Fertility, Menopause, Mens Health, Pregnancy Tips, Womans HealthAt Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus we have a variety of different brands that offer both men and womens Multi-Vitamins. There are some important differences and Dr. Oz amoung other health professionals are here to back it up.
Examples of Brands That Offer Both Men and Women Multi-Vitamins:
- Platinum Naturals
- Progressive Vitamins
- New Chapter Vitamins
- Alive Vitamins
Those are some of your top brands.
Dr. Oz has a list of things you should pay attention to when shopping for your Multi-Vitamin:
- No more than 3500 iu of Vitamin A to avoid toxicity.
- Preferably no more than 30 iu of Vitamin (while it is an excellent anti-oxidant, it is a bit of a blood thinner)
- Preferably no calcium in our multi. It should be taken separately. If it has it in there, no more than 200 mg of Calcium. WHY? Because Calcium impedes the absorption of other vitamins and minerals such as iron)
- You should avoid Iron if you are post-menopausal or male. Women of childbearing age should consider taking 18 mg of iron a day. Iron
is one of the most common deficient minerals in women leading to fatigue, hair loss and even fertility problems. Lorna Vanderhaeghe has one of the best Iron supplements out there called IronSmart. - Make sure your Multi-Vitamin has Iodine. Very important for the healthy function of the thyroid.
- Some ingredients a mens Multi-Vitamin may have is Saw Palamento, or Lycopene for healthy prostate, where as a womens Multi-Vitamin will have Iron.
Just remember men and women are built differently and therefore we need to be nourished differently.
As always, we hope that you will come and visit us at either Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus. Do not sit in silence; there are so many things you can do to better your health!

Preferred Nutrition: MenoSense, Bio Sil and EstroSense!
Categories: Energy, Hair Loss, Hormone Balancing, Hot products, Menopause, Mood, Nails Brittle, Womans HealthThere is a lot of buzz about taking collagen these days. While this will be of great benefit to those who want to improve their hair, skin, nails and joints there is another way with a product called BioSil by Preferred Nutrition!
It’s important to note that BioSil™ is not made out of collagen, it generates collagen. There’s a big difference. When you ingest collagen, the human body breaks it down and uses it as food. By contrast, BioSil’s™ patented ch-OSA complex helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for stronger, healthy and thicker hair; stronger nails; fewer fine lines and wrinkles; denser and more flexible bones.
What is it and what is the dosage?
Silicon (as Choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid) (ch-OSA). 6 mg
One capsule is equivalent to 6 drops of BioSil™ liquid.
Choline chloride, vegetarian capsule (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose,
water) with microcrystalline cellulose, water.
SUGGESTED USAGE
2 capsules daily or as directed by a health care practitioner

Tired of Night Sweats? Banish them with Harmony Menopause Formula!
Categories: Belly Fat, Menopause, Stress, Womans Health
Harmony Menopause in the Winter Flyer 120's $44.99! Until Jan31st 2011!
Menopause is a natural process in life that every woman will go through as their menstruation ceases. It can actually be a wonderful time in life for a lot of women, but there are many who suffer from: night sweats, hot flushes, irritability, mood swings, headaches, sleepiness, fatigue, weight gain, vaginal dryness, dry hair skin nails and other unpleasant symptoms. What causes night sweats, mood swings?
A woman’s lifestyle is much different than it used to be. There are different types of stress such as being in the work place, and in general life is more complicated these days. Too much stress will be enough to upset both men and women’s hormones, which ultimately affects your health. Other factors that cause menopause symptoms are: poor diets, and air pollutants. Research shows that it is now common for over 70% of women in Western societies to experience difficult and uncomfortable symptoms as their hormones levels shift and change during menopause.
What can you do?
Whether you are trying a natural herbal remedy for the first time, or you have tried many, but haven’t found one that works for you, Harmony Menopause formula is an excellent choice. Basically, Harmony targets the underlying cause of menopause and empowers the body to balance the female hormones. Once the hormones are balanced the body will be cool, calm, nourished, energy will improve and stress released.
How does Harmony Menopause formula work? (Herbal Ingredients Below)
- Rehmannia glutinosa: clears heat from the body, provides the relief from the hot flashes, night sweats and irritability. The other main function is to naturally increase stamina. Also helps to support the adrenals.
- Vitex agnus-castus: this herb is known and proven to be the female hormone balancer. Vitex is proven to help relieve: headaches, anger, and breast tenderness.
- Angelica polymorpha (Dong Quai):this herb helps to move the blood around the body, therefore improving circulation banishing cold hands and feet. Dong Quai also helps to nourish the skin, and hair.
- Dioscorea opposita (Chinese Yam): this herb is known as the kidney tonic which helps to regulate water. It helps digestion and moisturizes the whole body. This herb is also helping to reduce night sweats.
- Paeonia lactiflora: this herb is known as the liver tonic. With a clean liver irritability, and mood swings decrease. By supporting the liver, the body becomes calm.
- Bupleurum falcatum: this herb is known as the stress reducer. It helps clear emotional frustration, however because of this herb, you CANNOT take Harmony if you are taking anti-depressants (prescriptions).
Calcium has been added in the formula to assist women in bone health and to help calm the nervous system. Magnesium is there to help the absorption of calcium and it is there to help calm the nerves. Lastly, there is vitamin D3 because many of us are deficient, and it helps to absorb calcium.
Dosage?
For tough menopause symptoms, take 2 in the morning and 2 at night. For the beginning stages of menopause, or for POST menopause symptoms take 1 in the morning and 1 at night. Also, this formula is designed to help women (young as 12 or women who have started menstruation) with PMS symptoms. This may not make sense at first, but it all helps with Hormone Balancing, this is the key. For mild PMS symptoms, 1 in the morning and 1 at night. For young women such as 12 years of age, 1 a day.
Conflicts with any other medications?
If you are taking prescription blood thinners or prescription anti-depressants you cannot take Harmony. If you have more questions you can always ask your health care professional.
As always, thank you for reading! Also for more information we look forward to helping you at Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus.
