Handy Supplement Selector makes it easy to optimize your health and healing
When you’re first diagnosed with any medical condition – whether it’s fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, osteoporosis or epilepsy – it’s a terrifying feeling.  You feel helpless … hopeless … and overwhelmed by the magnitude of what you’re going through now, as well as what lies ahead. 
While you can’t choose which conditions impact your well-being, you can decide how you’re going to tackle them.  You can take steps to manage your health by working closely with your medical practitioner, keeping abreast of the latest medical breakthroughs, and taking the appropriate dietary supplements for your unique situation.  You can regain control – and feel a sense of power in what could otherwise seem like a powerless situation.
Dietary supplements play a vital supportive role in maximizing nutrition and good health.  They can augment the foods you eat to ensure you’re getting the nutrients your body needs and can also support the treatment for specific concerns.  But not all supplements are created equal – and that’s why it’s critical to know which ones are formulated to address support of your particular scenario.
As with all health recommendations, you’ll want to consult with your doctor or holistic practitioner to make sure that supplementation is right for you – and can work in concert with other procedures or protocols currently in play.
We’ve prepared a handy grid (below) of the supplements that we’ve found best support common patient ailments.
Here are our top 10 favorites:
1. VITAMIN B SUPPLEMENT
Containing vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 in a highly accessible bioavailable co-enzymated form, this comprehensive vitamin B supplement also includes a blend of natural folates called NatureFolate™.
Each of these readily available, water soluble B vitamins plays an important role in the body, ranging from boosting the support of immune systems of those with asthma, enriching the support of uterine lining for women with endometriosis, and support regulation of hormonal factors that can cause fibrocystic breast changes to increasing energy levels for those with fibromyalgia, alleviating back pain, and supporting those suffering from seizures and rosacea.
2. ULTRA GAMMA E COMPLEX VITAMIN E
This dietary supplement is the Rocky of dietary supplements – it’s nimble, versatile and packs a powerful punch.  It’s a full-spectrum vitamin E product that boasts eight naturally occurring tocopherol and tocotrienol isomers, is made with non-GMO ingredients, and features MCT (medium chain triglycerides) oil for superior absorption and enhanced bioavailability.

Calcium-D glucarate (calcium bound to d-glucaric acid) and Vitamin D (here, in the form of vitamin D3 with vitamin K1) complement each other beautifully in addressing several common health concerns.  Both contribute to strong, dense bones, thereby minimizing the potential falls associated with osteoporosis, and also help control epileptic seizures due to out-of-balance calcium levels.  In addition, calcium-D-glucarate supports the body’s natural elimination of unwanted estrogenic hormones, excess steroid hormones, and environmental toxins – especially beneficial for those with fibromyalgia. 
5. 5HTP
Having trouble catching quality zzz’s? This synergistic formula of 5-hydroxytryptophan and vitamin B6 provides the precursors of serotonin, one of the key chemicals and neurotransmitters in the body necessary for good sleep support.  Taken at bedtime, this supreme supplement can help support a sound slumber.
6. MAGNESIUM ASSIST SUPPLEMENT
7. MAGNEGEL TRANSDERMAL MAGNESIUM GEL
As its name suggests, Magnesium Assist helps get magnesium where it’s needed the most.  It contains magnesium in the highly absorbable form of magnesium bisglycinate chelate, which helps prevent it from competing with other minerals for absorption.
Available in a convenient topical form, MagneGel™ is a pure, 100% natural solution of magnesium chloride that is applied directly to the skin.  This highly efficient transdermal delivery system allows magnesium to be rapidly assimilated into the body for maximum relief.
Magnesium can support a wide range of health conditions by:
Keeping airways open and relaxing bronchiole muscles for those with bronchial asthma
Offering relief for indigestion, constipation or inflammatory bowel conditions
Facilitating muscle contraction and relaxation for those prone to seizures
