Natural Supplement

Question: What is the best natural supplement to take for anxiety/stress? Any natural vitamin on supplement you can just purchase @ walmart?

Answer: Try lemon balm tea or chamomile tea. Plus I would take B complex vitamins as these are the anti-stress vitamins and a magnesium/calcium combination tablet as magnesium is known as the anti-stress mineral. Ma/Ca are better taken together.

Question: What is the best natural supplement(s) i can take for stress/anxiety? What is the best natural supplement(s) i can take for stress/anxiety Or a combonation of vitamins and minerals i can take that has helped you?

Answer: Although you may not realise it, we all manage stress in the course of our day-to-day lives. For example, if after having an argument with someone you then watch TV or go for a walk to put it out of your mind, you are actually practicing a form of stress management. These kinds of activities are also known as coping strategies. We are basically dealing with the external pressure before it ever becomes actual stress. Stress is a medical condition. Many of us function under some amount of pressure most or all of the time, but if you find that you are suffering from regular or chronic stress, then you must see a doctor. He or she will be able to advise you on appropriate and effective techniques and treatments for alleviating your stress. Anxiety is also a medical condition, and again, if you are feeling anxious every day then we strongly recommend that you speak to a medical professional for advice.

Question: what is the best natural supplement to take for mood enhancment? i want to know the best natural supplement for mood enhancement. and also the best nat. supplement for increased energy...not caffeine pills or energy drinks

Answer: St. John's Wort seems helpful at least for mild depression. A lot of research has been conducted into the role of omega-3 oils for treatment of depression and bipolar disorder. For mood enhancement, levels of EPA are more important than DHA levels in omega 3. Certain fish, especially salmon, are a good supply of omega 3. If you're vegetarian, you can take omega 3 capsules, especially flax seed oil. If you google for omega 3, you can find foods that contain lots of omega 3. You can go into most vitamin or health food stores and find a whole aisle devoted to mood enhancing supplements or antidepressants. Many of them come in combo formulas. If the sales clerk appears knowledgeable and honest, ask for his/her advice on some of the best products. Amino acids that may help enhance mood include phenylalanine, tyrosine, GABA and theanine. 5-HTP, tryptophan and alpha lipoic acid may also enhance mood. The same can be said for folic acid and the B vitamins in general. Some researchers recommend SAM-e, but I and others I know found it to be very expensive and ineffectual. In terms of the supplements I mentioned, you might have success if you take supplements that contain as many of the above ingredients as possible.

Question: Has anyone ever taken a natural supplement called CalmAdvantage for anxiety? If so, did it work for you? If not, what natural supplement will help with anxiety?

Answer: The best thing I ever did for my anxiety was this.... 1. It will never hurt you. 2. You are completely in control and feeling the same feelings as everyone else, you only interpret it negatively. 3. Breathe deep and as slowly as you possibly can. 4. Make jokes of what you area affraid of or worried about. 5. Speak to yourself positively and keep doing it no matter how stupid you think it is or how stupid you think it sounds. Soon you will see that there is nothing to fear. And if there is, it's something real that you will overcome and learn from. You should read that "From Panic to Power" book by Lucinda Bassett. Good stuff that...

Question: is there any natural supplement to grow taller? i heard i the radio and in some magazines that there is this natural supplements that help grow, and that they are efective for people under 25.

Answer: They may have been talking about Human Growth Factor - it's a hormone that your body makes during the deepest part of sleep - delta wave sleep - that helps you grow. If you're not getting enough sleep or not good sleep, you can stunt your growth. Also, make sure that you have enough protein in your diet. You can't grow unless you give your body the things it needs for you to grow. You can get and take HGH if you want. It is supposed to be good for cell regeneration for everyone. Perhaps I'm too old, but it didn't do anything for me.
