Fish Oils – contain Omega 3 fatty acids, which are now less available in our diet.  They promote anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. They make the cell wall more flexible – allowing waste to be more easily excreted; nutrients can get into the cell more easily.  They promote a healthy heart and circulation due to their anti-clotting properties.  They also tend to lower blood pressure.  Also help brain / memory function –“Fish for brains”!!  Often useful in asthma, eczema and psoriasis.

Vitamin C – free-radical scavenger, anti-oxidant. In body fluids and cells.     Boosts the immune system. Not made in the body.  

Vitamin E – also anti-oxidant. Found in the cell wall. Research shows that taking 400 units a day decreases the risk of heart attack by 60%.

Multivitamin-mineral–generally a good idea since vitamins and minerals work synergistically.

Garlic – antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal.  Thins the blood.  Anti-cancer.  Stabilises heart rhythm.  Good topically for Athletes Foot.  Recent Scandinavian research shows that 2G / day reduces heart attack risk by 60%.

Calcium-Magnesium for healthy bones and good muscle function.  The magnesium is as important as the calcium.

Zinc – for a healthy reproductive system.  Useful with prostate problems.

Monosaccharrides (Ambrotose)  Responsible for the communication system of cells, and for cell to cell recognition.  Useful in a wide range of disease states but also for improving general health (endorsed by the US, Canadian, Australian and British Olympic governing bodies).  Research has shown them to help in ME, ADHD, and arthritis.  Rather like the Microsoft programme that runs your computer – they are needed to make everything else work properly.
