Anybody can use a daily multivitamin.
One reason is: the milligrams of each ingredient per tablet are never too much for any person; the other is that most foods we eat are depleted of essential daily nutrients.
However, BUYER BEWARE! There are wide-ranges of quality and quantity differences. You definitely get what you pay for!
o Check the ingredient label to avoid artificial colors and flavors;
o See if your multivitamin has added enzymes and probiotics for better absorption; or get a whole-food formula that helps avoid stomach upset;
o A daily multivitamin is not a replacement for your daily calcium need;
o And, …don’t get too attached to one company: try different brands and formulas, in smaller size bottles, over several months, to find one that works best for you.
Choosing the right multivitamins for you and your family can be overwhelming. Allow us to explain the differences, and help you on your way to better health, at …the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center, on North 19th Avenue.

If treating depression were easy, a lot less people would be making a living off of it…
DEPRESSION is an umbrella term for different types of debilitating emotional upsets. They all have overlapping symptoms, but specific severities will set each one apart.
Taking dietary supplements will not be a replacement for medication you are taking yet, but many can become additions to, or eventual substitutes for prescription drugs. Work with a physician who is willing to monitor you during this process.
o Adequate fish oil daily, with at least 1,500 mg of EPA fat is almost essential;
o Year round Vitamin D3 is often missing in those with depression;
o Trying some GABA and Tryptophan may calm the mind, lift the spirit, as well as improve sleep;
o And Bach Flowers have helped many people during the last century.
The list goes on. None of these will help you overnight, but with proper coaching, positive change is near.
For more insights, and quality vitamins, please visit …the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center, on North 19th Avenue.

Living anywhere in the northern states and all the way into Canada, we see an increased percentage of people dealing with depression, as well as an increase in suicides, especially during the shorter months of the year.
Even antidepressant medications, such as Zoloft® and Prozac® have caused people to consider or perform suicide.
However, many patients are diagnosed by doctors as being depressed, simply because the physician could NOT find anything else wrong when they complained of chronic fatigue, body pains, fluctuating hormones, or even battling with bouts of fear and anxiety.
These can take a lot of energy out of a person and a point is reached that one cannot remember what started first or even how or when it happened.
Simply taking antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication may be the right answer for few, but may become a serious brain-toxin for most others.
With an adequate support system in place, specific dietary supplements, and changing emotional eating habits, gradual improvements are possible!
We’re glad to show you how, at …the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center, on North 19th Avenue.
