Vitamin supplements have been use as medicines alternative by many, including some prominent physicians, to address chronic degenerative diseases caused by oxidative stress (free radical attacks due to the use of oxygen in our body!) and other symptoms and diseases.

The use of supplements may not necessarily treat the symptoms and diseases but rather to provide nutrients to our bodies at the optimal level. Healthy cells will grow to replace the unhealthy ones and the body recovers.

According to nutritional medicine physician Dr Ray Strand, for the vitamin supplement to be effective, you must take the nutritional supplements over a long time take the dietary supplements at much higher level than the RDI use only high quality nutritional supplements - free from toxic effects and safe for use in strong dosage.

Over 100,000 deaths per year by prescribed medications In the "Journal of the American Medical Association", 15 April 1998 issue, Dr Bruce Pomeranz said, "The medication we prescribed cause over 100,000 deaths a year".

The traditional western medical approach is described as a fix-a-break approach to health.

In recent year, many MD started to believe preventive medicine and practice it. Dr Ray Strand and Dr Ross Walker, a renowned cardiologist are the two good examples.

Precautions While some experts may suggest that it is all right to use mega dosage of vitamins to reverse certain symptoms, we need to take responsibility to check out they supplements used. As not all dietary supplements are created equal, my personal choice remain at plant-based vitamins and natural products.

Whether it's bodybuilding, power lifting, or just weightlifting, building muscle can be a challenge. Adding a supplement to your routine can make a big difference.

If you have a desire to build bigger and better muscles then do I have some "muscle food" for you. What I'm about to tell you is not just for your muscles. Read to the end and you'll see the other benefits.

Your body's most l-ornithine-hcl bulk powder energy source are amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The one amino acid most commonly found in your blood is glutamine. It is responsible for a lot. So when your levels drop, your health can suffer.

Prolonged exercise can drastically reduce your levels by as much as fifty percent. Surgery, burns and infectious diseases can also cause your levels to drop.

For this reason glutamine supplementation is a favorite for body builders. It helps restore glycogen to your muscles, which is a power source used during exercise. It's also a "nitrogen donor," which means that it helps repair muscle. It also helps you to "bulk up" and build bigger and better muscles.

What's more, it helps your body release growth hormone. This powerful substance helps you burn fat and build muscle. It's just one of the keys to looking and feeling young again.

Glutamine also protects your heart, immune system and intestines. If you are one of the many who use NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like aspirin or Advil, glutamine becomes more then essential. As you know, these drugs can cause ulcers, intestinal bleeding or worse.

Supplementing with glutamine can help repair - even reverse - damage caused by NSAIDs. How? It is the primary source of energy for the cells of your intestinal lining. It's even been used to treat colitis, Crohn's disease and diarrhea.

And that's not all. Here's just a partial list of glutamine's many benefits:

1) It Strengthens the Immune System: It powers the cells of the immune system, including T-cells. Even under stress, it fires up your defenses and stimulates powerful antioxidants.

2) Powers the Heart: Glutamine increases endurance by creating energy for the heart. It even helps to regulate blood pressure.

3) Fights Hypoglycemia: If your blood sugar drops, it can easily break down in the liver to provide you with more glucose. This means your body won't have to borrow glucose from muscle tissue. (You'll lose fat instead of muscle.)

For building muscle, take ten grams of glutamine after your workout. For short term treatment of ulcers and colitis, I sometimes use as much as twenty grams a day. As an immune system booster, five grams should be enough.You can find it in health food store. It's best to take the powdered form in water and you don't need anything else added. It tastes slightly sweet on its own.
