What supplements then should we be looking for? What I recommend to all my patients is a multivitamin/mineral supplement with additional calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D for starters (I also recommend fish oils but we'll talk more about those in another posting). If possible in your budget, pharmaceutical grade vitamins and minerals are the best; they are going to cost more but-in the long run-they will be worth it to good health. For good sources, ask your health care provider, chiropractor, massage therapist, acupuncturist. Check at your local co-ops and health food markets. Talk to friends who are health-conscious and actively engaged in seeking a healthy lifestyle. It can take a long time to make up for the years of deprivation our bodies may have endured. But it's never too late to start. Today is the right day to take that first step.
