Single Supplement Remedies
Too often I see recommendations for disorders that involve many supplements, sometimes costing hundreds of dollars per month. I wanted to come up with a list of ailments often alleviated by a single supplement, preferably an inexpensive one. Consider these recommendations are only what I would do for myself and will not recommend these for anyone else to use. It is for information purposes only and to give people a starting place to do their own research. Please contribute any reliable recommendations that you have found and I will add them to the list!
"Bone Builder with Boron" and "Liver Specifics" are available from www.doctorstrust.com . Now Bone Strength is the same formula as Bone Builder and is available at HerbsMD. Enzymatic Therapy, Jarrow, and FutureBiotic's products are available at most health food stores and many online sources such as Vitacost..
