To use honey as a face mask, you would wet your face with water then apply honey to your face in a circular motion using your index and middle fingers. Allow the honey to set, approximately five minutes, then wash off. Over time, your face should radiate from the cleansing and hydrating actions of honey.

The best way to help alleviate signs and symptoms of eczema is through diet. Eating a diet of fresh vegetables, fruit, whole grains and lean protein is a great start. Whenever possible, purchase organic or locally grown food because the pesticides in the produce may be aggravating eczema. You should consider avoiding processed and refined foods since they do not have nutritionally value and actually leeches nutrients from your body to help your body digest them. Drinking plenty of fluids help as well.

In addition to a whole food diet, enzymes and probiotics should be considered to help with the breakdown and assimilation of the foods you eat. If you are not breaking down and absorbing nutrients from the food you eat, deficiency arises, which may be showing up as eczema. Enzymes help provide and increase the natural enzymes you have in your stomach to help break down food.

Probiotics, such as our Super Probiotic formula, help support digestive and immune health by colonizing your intestines with friendly bacteria that further helps with the assimilation of nutrients from food.

Lastly, eczema and psoriasis are often a result of digestive dysfunction, both in not breaking down and absorbing nutrients and in having an allergic reaction to something you've eaten. Pay attention to what you eat and see if the eczema flares. If so, you may actually be allergic to that food. The same goes with what you apply to your skin. Many people are realizing they have dermatitis due to the toxins found in conventional skin care products. Consider switching to products that do not contain toxins and see if your skin improves.

It depends on your personal hurdles with weight loss. Super Citrimax is primarily used to help support appetite control and reduce over eating. It also has other ingredients, such as ginseng for energy. Synergy Slim, on the other hand, tackles your weight loss struggles from several different angles. It may be best to start out with SynergySlim Plus. It actually contains both Citrimax's main ingredient, Garcinia Cambogia, and ChromeMate® (which are both in the Super Citrimax Supplement). But SynergySlim contains 200 mcg of ChromeMate® and Super Citrimax only contains 100 mg. Super Citrimax contains 750 mg of Garcinia Cambogia, while SynergySlim contains 4,500 mg per serving. Additionally, SynergySlim contains the white bean extract which helps to decrease your absorption and storage of carbohydrates as well as Green tea extract which helps your metabolism operate more efficiently.

Synergy Slim Plus includes the bottle of Synergy Slim as well as a bottle of CLA which helps reduce the amount of fat your body can store. It is the most comprehensive weight loss product that we sell. It helps to address weight loss from helping to burn fat, neutralize carbs, control the appetite, and help you to tone up and retain lean, muscle mass while losing fat. Super Citrimax is primarily used to help support appetite. It also has other ingredients, such as ginseng for energy.

Hyaluronic acid is found in many tissues throughout the body. It is concentrated in the skin and in cartilage. Many people are getting positive results using this ingredient both topically and orally so its certainly worth considering. We include it in our Super Osteo GOLD along with glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM, three other nutrients that play a role in maintaining joint health. Since this combination of ingrederients tackles joint pain and discomfort from many different angles (repair, cushioning and inflammation control) its a great option for a wide spectrum of reasons.

Both vitamin E tocopherol and tocotrienol are beneficial. They are part of the vitamin E complex that provide antioxidant protection. Rather than taking either one, your body benefits more by taking the entire complex, both tocopherol and tocotrienol because that is how it is naturally found in nature.

There are three or four things we can suggest that would be a great start.  To cover the most wide range of health benefits, we would suggest you begin with a good multi-vitamin such as our Multi Nutrient Original, our Omega-T Fish Oil, a high antioxidant formula such as our green tea and a good vitamin D3 supplement.

Taking a good quality multivitamin is almost necessary when eating a poor diet because multivitamins provide vitamins and minerals that are lacking in the food you are eating. In the case of our Multi Nutrient Original, it contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to provide your body with beneficial nutrients to support your overall health and wellness. Being deficient in nutrients can sometimes lead to health issues such as hair loss, hormone imbalance and fatigue.

Fish oil should also be considered. Our Omega-T Fish Oil contains essential fatty acids (EFA) that the body cannot produce itself at all or cannot produce in amounts that are sufficient for ideal support. These EFAs help support brain and memory function, cardiovascular, joint, skin and eye health.

As for a high antioxidant formula, we have always stood by Green Tea Extract. The evidence that surrounds green tea's ECGC antioxidant power is fantastic and it provides a wide range of cellular protection.

We offer the Multi Nutrient Formula, The Omega T Fish Oil and the Green Tea Extract in a bundles savings package called our PowerPak, so that may be worth looking into. We have always believed that these three formulas offer such a wide spectrum of health benefits and have therefore offered this combination for quite some time and many of our customers have had great success with them.

The majority of the population is deficient in vitamin D3 leading to fatigue, poor immune health and mal-absorption of calcium. Consider being checked by your physician to find out how deficient you are in vitamin D3 and how much you should take to replenish your body. Many have noticed that once their body has sufficient amounts of vitamin D3, their quality of life improves.

As for diet, instead of throwing out everything in your fridge and cabinets, which may be too much of a change too soon, start by adding more fresh vegetables and fruits, a moderate amount of whole grains and lean protein to your diet. Slowly begin cooking more home cooked meals instead of eating processed and restaurant foods. You can buy cookbooks on sale that you can begin using to learn how to cook delicious meals. As you begin learning how to cook more meals from scratch, your taste palate will change where you'll enjoy freshly made foods more than packaged and your health will begin to improve that way.

Lastly, make sure to drink at least half your weight in ounces of filtered water. Drinking non-caffeinated herbal teas are delicious as well.

We do not include iron in any of our Multi Nutrient Formulas because we are aware that taking extra iron when you are not deficient can accelerate the aging process in men and post menopausal women. Also, many foods tend to already have varying amounts of iron therefore, the majority of the older population is at risk for being deficient. Lastly, iron and calcium compete for absorption so we choose to leave iron out as to not disrupt calcium absorption--something that tends to be of greater concern for people.

As for copper, this is a trace mineral that has been shown to be beneficial in helping maintain the structure and elasticity of blood vessels. We include a very small amount of copper in our supplements because of evidence of it helping support cardiovascular health and help reduce osteoarthritis by helping slow bone loss when combined with the other minerals zinc, manganese and calcium.

Copper and iron are trace minerals that we consume daily through our food as well so there is no way to completely be rid of either of them.

Is your daughter following the yeast free diet? It may be difficult to follow at first but necessary in helping to rid herself of candida. This diet
includes eliminating sugar, dairy and carbohydrates from the diet including food that contain yeast. Incorporating a good probiotic is essential as well. Although your daughter is currently taking antibiotics, she can take the probiotics a couple of hours after the antibiotics. Her tiredness may be both from an overgrowth of candida and because the antibiotics are killing off both the good and bad bacteria, leaving her intestines and immune system that resides in the digestive tract defenseless. We have formulated Super Probiotic which she may find extremely beneficial. If she decides to take this formula, she may need to take more than the recommended dose due to the fact she is also taking antibiotics. If she is following the candida diet, she may have to eat more than she would normally for more energy.

Canola oil is genetically modified although when it was first created, it was not. It is best to consider reducing intake of canola oil because it not only can lead to vitamin E deficiency, but large amounts can lead to many other health issues. While people like to use canola oil for cooking and baking because it is nealry flavorless, it may be better to stick with oils with less controversy such as organic venegtable oil, extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin coconut oil and sunflower oil.

Before taking supplements to help with constipation, consider your diet and liquid intake first. If your diet and water consumption is inhibiting bowel movements, supplements will only help temporarily. Constipation can be relieved by eating a diet high in fiber (vegetables and fruits, whole grains) low in processed foods and beverages which have very little nutritional value and drinking half your weight in ounces of water. If you are dehydrated, constipation increases. Exercise is also essential for healthy bowels. Exercise helps move food along your intestines so you can eliminate it from your body.

If you find that fiber is difficult to obtain, consider our Psyllium Husk Caps. Psyllium husks provide extra fiber to the diet and additional bulk to facilitate bowel movement. When taking this supplement, large amounts of water should be consumed to avoid compaction in the intestines as that also leads to constipation. Constipation can also be a result of imbalanced bacterial flora in the intestines. If this is the case, consider our Super Probiotic formula which help replenish bacterial flora, support the digestive and immune systems.

Antibiotics don't only kill the bad bacteria, but also the beneficial bacteria that resides in the intestines that help support optimal digestive health and the immune system. Often times when on a strong antibiotic regimen, if probiotics are not taken in conjunction or soon after, the digestive distress that you described can result. Consider taking our Super" class="expert">http://www.stopagingnow.com/PRO/Super-Probiotic-with-Inulin-NutraFlora-Prebiotics">Super Probiotic, which may provide relief as it begins to help recolonize your intestines.  In addition to taking a good probiotic, incorporate probiotic rich foods in your diet as well such as plain yogurt (you can sweeten and add fruit yourself. Plain yogurt tends to be higher in probiotic content than sweetened yogurt), keefir, kombucha, sauerkraut and kimchi. There are surely other probiotic rich foods that I have not mentioned here.

The anti-inflammatory benefits of ginger is what makes it a useful supplement in osteoarthritis and other inflammatory issues. Stop Aging Now will soon be offering a fabulous ginger supplement for you to consider so stay tuned for that. In the mean time, we do have our Super Osteo GOLD which is our leading supplement for joint health and the relief of joint discomfort.

Omega-T Fish Oil is molecularly distilled using state-of the-art vacuum technology that gently removes toxic contaminants from the oil. Molecular distillation is currently the only way to reduce these environmental toxins to undetectable levels, rendering the oil safe for human consumption, without damaging the omega-3 fatty acids it contains. Our fish oil is third-party certified to be free of contaminants, such as mercury, PCBs and other dangerous environmental toxins.

We have formulated Super Osteo-GM, a vegetarian Glucosamine and MSM formula geared to support joint health. The glucosamine is derived from plant sources. Each dosage contains 1500 mg of glucosamine and 1500 mg of MSM. Glucosamine helps reduce pain while helping regenerate cartilage while MSM reduces inflammation. Both help benefit joint function.

If your daughter is choosing not to eat any animal meat, she can obtain protein from milk, butter and eggs. There is also protein in beans, legumes, tofu, nuts and seeds. Although some other vegetables like dark leafy greens have some protein, it is not sufficient. If your daughter wants to avoid animal products all together, it will be important to combine the proper vegetables to ensure she gets complete protein such as beans and rice. Without the proper blend, her body will not get enough protein which can lead to health issues. Here are some examples for protein combinations

Thats a great question. When we review our Multi Nutrient Formulas, we try to take a number of things into account such as the average diet and nutrients that are readily availbale in food. This allows us to save room in our formula for more unique, sought after and beneficial ingreidients. Regarding vitamin K,  we don't include that nutrient for a couple of reasons. First of all, vitamin K is a nutrient that the body produces rather easily. Additionally, it is very easily sourced from foods. Not only are many foods naturally high in vitamin K such as leafy greens, many foods are fortified with vitamin K. Lastly (and unfortunately), so many people are on blood thinning medications where vitamin K is contraindicated. However, for people interested in vitamin K, we do have a separate supplement available and it's a wonderful product to promote bone health and proper coagulation.

As for vitamin D, we are planning to increase the vitamin D in our Multi Nutrient GOLD formula from 1,000 IU to 2,000 IU. For those on the Multi Nutrient ORIGINAL Formula, we do recommend adding a stand-alone vitamin D as you see fit. We have several options so that you can find what suits you best.  

The ResveraPLUS is alcohol free. Our resveratrol is actually sourced from Japanese Knot Weed since thats a powerful source of the natural compound. Resveratrol content became associated with red wine simply because that was the initial connection and how it was discovered to be so beneficial. While the fermentation process of making wine does concentrate the compound, there are other sources that are just less known for consumption. For the synergistic benefits of resveratrol, we include a red wine powder in our product that is alcohol free.

If you are having acid reflux, taking a digestive enzyme such as our Enzyme Complex, will increase acidity in your stomach to aid in the breakdown of your food. This may end up causing more harm then good. Depending on the cause of your acid reflux, a digestive enzyme may be a good alternative to over the counter and prescription medications, but that would need to be discussed with your health care provider.

If you are looking to support digestive function, consider our Super Probiotic formula. This formula not only helps balance digestive function, it also helps replace lost intestinal flora and support your immune system. Taking a probiotic may also enhance absorption of nutrients because of the re-balance of beneficial intestinal flora.

Vitamin" class="expert">http://www.stopagingnow.com/VTD2/Vitamin-D3-2000-IU-Softgels">Vitamin D is usually measured in IUs or mcgs. To take 2-3 mg is equivalent to taking 8,000-12,000 IU which is considered very high. If you've gotten clearance from your physician or are taking that dose for a specific purpose, then that's fine. You can take that dose at one time. Just make sure to take it with a fat-containing meal for maximum absorption since vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin.
 

The regimen you have scheduled to take your supplements sound great. As is stated on the bottles, they are meant to be taken with or around the time of your meals. In the case of extra calcium, that should not be taken with your multivitamin because the body absorbs only about 400 mg of calcium" class="expert">http://www.stopagingnow.com/CAL/Calcium-with-Magnesium-Tablets">calcium at a time. If you find that taking your supplements as you have scheduled is easy for you to remember and you are following the directions on the bottles, there is no need to change.
