Natural Dietary Supplements

Question: Natural dietary supplements? Ok, I've noticed that there are all these diet pills out there that are supposed to help people lose weight. The all boast of having hoodia, orlistat, and some kind of super fiber (I don't know the name of it). What I want to know is, is it possible for me to just take fiber, hoodia, and the vitamins or whatever elements they are in their NATURAL form? FOr instance, couldn't I just take fiber pills to attempt to block, or at least pass fat quickly through my system? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Also, I am currently on a low calorie, low fat diet that includes exercise. I have a wonderful diet plan that has me losing about 2.5 lbs a week. I just want to know if there's a way that I can lose more weight faster.

Question: Anyone have suggestions on how to boost my immune system using natural and/or herbal, dietary supplements? I was negligent with my diet in younger years, ingesting large amounts of sugar daily, I also had repeated bouts of bronchitis and I didn't have the funds to visit a doctor for treatment. Consequently, I now have "fibromyalgia", very low energy level, salt cravings, and am very easily stressed by things such as crowds, loud noises, bright lights, people who talk too much, etc. I know that my adrenal glands are "depleted".

Answer: First and foremost, make sure you are eating a proper diet, getting enough sleep, and doing at least some form of exercise (even if it's walking around) at least a few times a week. That's the basic way to stay healthy in general, but if you find that you are getting sick more often than you would like, there are some natural options to help boost your immune system. Some of the most popular natural products for boosting the immune system are Colostrum, Mushrooms (Maitake, Shiitake, and Reishi), IP-6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate), Beta Glucans, Elderberry, Echinacea (should be taken short-term only), and any antioxidants. Now, have you been diagnosed as having Fibromyalgia, or do you just have some of the symptoms? If you actually have it, there are some nutrients that specifically can help with some of the impacts of it. Specifically, Malic Acid, Magnesium, Ribose, Methionine (an Amino Acid), and even CoQ10 have shown some benefits towards some of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia (especially muscle health and neuromuscular sensitivities). Good luck!

Question: What are some natural remedies for asthma? The cold weather is causing me bad bronchospasms. Its hard to suck in air. I have medicine but I don't like using my medicine any more than I need to. Is there anything that I can eat or drink regularly to help alleviate this? Not as a replacement for my medicine, just something to help it, like some kind of herbal tea, natural dietary supplement, etc. 10 points for your help! I appreciate it!

Answer: I'm an asthma sufferer just like you. Sometimes I find when I am having trouble breathing, I take a hot shower and the steam from the shower actually helps me breath better. Especially when I am not sick. When I am sick and I get bronchitis, I feel that the cold air helps me. There is no surefire way to know this is going to work until you try it. But it works wonders for me! Hope this helps you!

Question: Can anyone recommend any dietary supplements to aid fat loss, and also have no adverse effects on health? I'm doing a lot of weight training in the gym, and seeing great results. I already supplement my diet for this purpose with whey protein and creatine tablets. The only problem is I'm carrying some extra weight at the beer - gut level. I work hard in the gym, and try and do half an hour's cardio before the weight training, which I now do 6 days a week. My diet is healthy, I eat porridge for breakfast, often just a protein shake for lunch, and a home-cooked healthy meal for dinner. However, I'm not losing any weight (actually am gaining muscle, so getting heavier), and I can't see that I'm losing much fat. I know stomach fat is harder to shift than fat stores in other areas, but am getting disheartened. Has anyone any advice about any dietary supplements, natural or pharmaceutical, that might help, or can tell me what I might try to shift this beer gut? (I'm 5'10'', weight 197.5lbs/ 89.5kgs, and am lifting good weight, with lots of muscle, but my gut is a massive 39 inches around my belly-button... help me please!)

Answer: You need to focus on more cardio work Okay the best way to lose weight is to concentrate on 2 main things, this is your diet and your workout. ---Diet---- You need to get both of them right, now your diet should work like this... you should be eating a meal every 2-3 hours but not a junk food snack/meal. When i say meal i mean something which is healthy ie you might have some pasta with tuna, or a quick banana as a snack. The foods you eat should be COMPLEX carbs ie pasta, brown bread etc etc. You also want to try and get as much fruit + ved in a day. Make sure you have a good amount of protein throughout your meals. Now you also need to work out your Basal Metabolic Rate, this simply tells you how many calories you burn a day, you need to find out how much your actually eating now its most likely to be in excess if it is you want to TRY and cut down 500 calories and stick to your new total amount. This shouldnt be hard because you will be eating Complex carbs which are just as filling but have a lower calorie count but are better for you than empty calories which are found in simple carbs. ---Workout--- Here are some tips for you Okay now for your workout what you want to be doing is concentrating on many different types of cardio exercises. These are your jogging,swimming basically anything that makes you sweat and makes your heart pound. If you can join a gym as they have a lot of cardio machines there. Now once you get in to the hang of say jogging, what i mean by this is say you jog 20 mins everyday eventually you will come to a point where your not losing anymore weight this is like hitting a brick wall, this means you need to up the game, start jogging that extra five minutes a day, start taking that one less suagr in your cup of tea. The most important tip to remember is to vary your cardio routines. Your body gets used to the same cardio routines done over and over. By varying your routine, your body will have to adjust, and thus causes a rise in the metabolic rate, thereby burning calories faster. But how many people do you see walking everyday in your neighborhood, or on the same treadmill or elliptical machine at the gym, and their body never seems to be changing. They do all that work and see no visible results. That is because the conventional wisdom is to get some form of cardio 3-5 days a week at 30 - 60 minutes. A better alternative is high impact interval training. High impact training could include doing a warm-up of 3-4 minutes on a treadmill, followed by 1 minute at 8 mph, then 1 1/2 minutes at 4 mph, then run 10 mph for 1 minute, then walk at 4 mph for 1 1/2 minutes. You can repeat this 3 or 4 times to get a very effective, and not boring cardio workout. You can also incorporate running or walking stairs, or do short sprints. The sprints need not be long (20,30, 50 yards), and you rest by walking back to the starting point. These are very effective. Have you ever seen a fat person running the 100 yard dash at the Olympics? And often overlooked is the jump rope. Do short bursts of jump rope at a brisk pace with some faster paced, or double jumps, or criss crosses mixed in. By applying these cardio tips on how to burn calories fast, you should be able to jump start your metabolism, and make progress towards your fitness goals I can guarantee you that you will lose weight i have had to both GAIN and LOSE weight as i was an ex boxer I assure you that this will work, but the most important tip is motivation from YOU! If your looking for a diet pill you can get a good one from http://www.bigdiscounts4u.com/burnfatnow.html this is what i have used and what i get guys in the gym to use when they want to drop a weight in boxing quickly, its safe and has no side affects feel free to add me on "im" for any questions Best Of Luck

Question: What are the best natural digestive aids? Seems that I'm punished after most meals and have intestinal distress and a quick trip to the restroom takes place (mostly in the evening). I know I have lactose (milk) interolance, so I take aid for that, and fried foods can set me off. What natural herbs, supplements, dietary aids are available from the natural vitamin / health food stores that seem to help with the digestive process? I'm tired of loosing what nutrician I am ingest and being angry with myself for even eating. Seems like I keep getting punished for eating over & over. Any suggestions? 081407 1:05 Healthyhilda, that is what I am thinking...I need some natural good flora bacteria's introduced. I take a multiple B / time released to aid with the fried foods, but sometimes I still have to be careful. Now when I think of it...I remember my Grandpa would eat a small cake of yeast! each day (yep the type for baking), and swore by it. He felt that you needed a bowel mvmt every day or something was wrong. I'm not very consistant... 5 of you had ideal answers! How can I choose? Drat!!!!!!!!!! I'm leaving it up to the Yahoo Community on this one. Thanks to ALL for answering! GREAT responses! Will try all suggestions, one at a time...

Answer: The best digestive aid I have ever seen is Mona Vie. This is a mixture of 100% fruit juices that you take on an empty stomach morning and evening. It is rather pricey but if you are looking for the best you will ever try, take this. If you need intestinal bacteria, eat organic yogurt. It has the beneficial bacteria that you need for proper digestion.

Question: Question about......GABA (natural calming effect) dietary supplement? okay so im thinking about taking a dietary supplement, the brand, 'now' the supplement being GABA, natural calming effect. it is supposed to promote relaxation, ease nervous tension, and be a good sedative being ideal for sleep. so since im a PARANOID person about death, things going wrong, just worried in general, i thought this dietary supplement would be IDEAL. so when your a worried person, you also become worried about taking stuff. soo i need help. anyone take this certain supplement? any bad side affects? what are your opinions-yay or nay? can a dietary supplement actually harm you or be hazardous at all?

Answer: I have used GABA but not the brand you mention. Some GABA caps are mixed with niacin or inositol and usually have 100mg or so of GABA per capsule and you are supposed to take 4-6 capsules. The GABA I've bought and used was pure and from JoMar Labs. https://www.jomarlabs.com/main/catalog.asp?featureid=1021 You take it on an empty stomach or it doesn't work as well. Mix a very small amount (like a quarter teaspoon) in about 2 oz of water. I usually drink 1/2 of what I mix up and then drink the other half if I'm still awake in an hour. Usually the affects are subtle and consist of being able to sleep easily and naturally. No negative side effects that I ever noticed from taking a small amount. GABA is a neurotransmitter so it is not something to be abused. Many supplements or even drinking too much water can harm you if used improperly so follow the directions carefully.

Question: Has anyone tried this dietary suppliment and is safe? I would like to know before I buy it.? I am thinking of purchasing this Threelac Dietary Supplement, Natural Lemon Flavor, it sounds good, but I am wondering if anyone has bought it from here http://www.discountbeautyproductgiftwagon.com/. I buy everything here, but would like to know if anyones tried it and is this safe to use?

Answer: I expect that you are young and not even over weight and if you really must try this item make a note of what is in it and take it to a good pharmacy and they will soon tell you if it is safe as a lot of those things are rubbish and people just waste their money when they could just eat good safe food and still loose weight.

It's a dietary supplement and its for the immune system. Does anyone know how many you should take if you're using it as a dietary supplement?

Answer: There are probably 1000 different brands of Vitamin C on the market. Most of them are exactly the same. You could see if NutritionalTree.com has reviews on it (they review these kinds of products for the top brands). Otherwise, just take the equivalent for 500 mg/day.
