Once you decide which,if any, supplements you want, keep your eye on the ads. Many of the superstores and drug stores- Krogers, Meijers, Walgreens, CVS, etc- often run a buy one get one sale on their vitamins and supplements. Read labels, however, to make sure you are getting the maximum amount of herb, and not a bunch of fillers. The herbal industry is pretty much unregulated, so the amount of active ingredient can vary widely from brand to brand, and even supplemnts within the same brand. The products sold at health food stores are probably more "pure", with less inert ingredients; however I've found that they also tend to be much higher priced. It's often possible to achieve near the same effect with mass produced items on sale with careful shopping and label reading.

They started carrying bins and bins full of you name it. So that is what prompted me. So- far- I would say 1/2 to .75 of my picks have been good ones. I like to stock up on things I use regularly. When we get to summer- I likely will not take as much. But during cold and flu season- proper nutrician is a must. I manage to eat better in the summer. :-)

Ginseng and ginger both make me feel all speedy.

I must admit, I prefer it without the seng.

quote: ORIGINAL: Fitznicely I take meds for diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, gout and arthritis. There's a store not far from me which sells boxes of "little blue pills" for a tiny amount of money. I took a pic of the ingredients list and had a look at what's in them and they were basically ginseng and a couple of warming herbs (natural oats being one). Looking a bit further, I decided not to touch ginseng because it apparently raises your heart rate, and therefore your blood pressure, and that's something I don't need I think too much of it does increase the blood pressure. So on- me I will take some but not over do it.
