GLUCOSAMINE, MULTI-VITAMIN AND CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS
By popular demand, we are keeping our Glucosamine and Mulit-Vitamin supplements on sale at $19.00 each for a one month supply. Just one tablespoon of Glucosamine per day and two tablespoons of the multi-vitamin per day are needed. Remember, a liquid will be absorbed better and you don't have to swallow any more pills.

Cartilage rebuilding and regeneration is a normal function of the body. During your lifetime, joint cartilage begins to break down due to physical stress and aging, making even everyday activities like walking difficult to perform. That's why it's essential to maintain healthy levels of the nutrients that promote joint health and mobility.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin help to build structural integrity of joints and connective tissue. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic and bioavailable source of sulfur found in many food items. The sulfur is used by the body to manufacture antioxidants and help maintain the elasticity and flexibility of the connective tissue that make up joints.

By request, we have added a calcium/magnesium/boron supplement. I have found that most patients who take calcium ingest a supplement with either calcium only or calcium and vitamin D. Calcium and magnesium work together and should be taken in a 2:1 ratio. Most multi- vitamins already have 400IU of vitamin D which is the recommended dose for people under age 65. Most calcium/vitamin D supplements have an additional 400IU of vitamin D which is unnecessary. Boron deficiency seems to affect calcium and magnesium metabolism, and affects the composition, structure and strength of bone, leading to changes similar to those seen in osteoporosis.

Our calcium supplement has 500 mg calcium, 25 mg magnesium and 3 mg boron in each tablet. The bottle has 100 tablets and is only $7.00!

VERY IMPORTANT: ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR PHARMACIST FOR ANY POSSIBLE SUPPLEMENT/DRUG INTERACTIONS BEFORE STARTING THESE SUPPLEMENTS!

MY PYRAMID
The US government has finally come out with a usable food pyramid - MY PYRAMID -

and some important diet and nutrition guidelines. Click on "Inside the Pyramid" and then click on each color and read information on each portion of the pyramid: grains, vegetables, fruit, oils, milk, meat and beans.

The website also has the My Pyramid Tracker feature which allows you to track the foods you eat. Another site with a similar, free feature is Fit Day.
