Question 1

i would like to know about the role of vitamin e for maintaining glowing skin and healthy hair.

Accepted Answer

Limited effect: Vitamin e used topically does very little to improve the skin. However, taking it orally can help promote skin health and overall body health if recommended dosing adhered to.

Question 2

what are the best vitamins to maintain a healthy heart?

Accepted Answer

I suggest none: If you spend time reading the ads promoting supplements, you'd get the idea that they are the key to health and vitamin deficiency the principal cause of disease in the wealthy nations. Not so. You're smart to take a cheap multivitamin-and-mineral supplement; more supplementing if you're a vegetarian, but keep in mind that lifestyle -- not pills -- is the principal way of keeping your heart health.

Question 3

how do vitamins and minerals work together to maintain bone health if 65 and healthy?

Accepted Answer

Calcium/ Vitamin D: Calcium and vitamin d work together. Vitamin d enhances intestinal absorption of calcium. So if you are deficient in vitamin d, then the calcium being consumed will not be absorbed correctly.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Vitamins-no: The most important thing you can do to maintain healthy skin is to avoid sunlight exposure i.e.,use sun screen when out in the sun,especially if you are fair skinned. If you a sensible diet,you don't need vitamins or supplements.

Question 5

can i maintain good health just w/exercise and vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Not alone: The exercise will certainly help, but you also need a healthy diet, plenty of sleep and a good social support system.

Currently the efficacy of vitamin supplements is up for some debate, but what is certain is that they are no substitute for a healthy balanced diet.

Question 6

which vitamin is good for teeths and gums health?

Accepted Answer

All of them: There are many vitamins that when lacking, cause  dental problems; but, recommended daily allowances are only the dosages of vitamins that are minimum to prevent deficiency syndromes.  The optimal amount of vitamins for health is still debatable.  Good  balanced nutrition is vital to good health and healing.  If eating balanced healthy food is too difficult,  our office recomends pharmanex sups.

Question 7

Vitamin D: Vitamin d can help with bones and has some effect on some people with pain.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

B complex: As always, I recommend a B complex multivitamin. More important than vitamins, though, is a healthy diet and exercise. Be well.

Question 10

does b complex deficiency (b12, riboflavin) actually lead to origination of repeated mouth ulcers? has multivitamin supplements shown to speed up healing or decrease/eliminate recurrence in medical practice? any special role of vitamin c for healing?

Accepted Answer

Vitamins: Vitamins act as catalysts, bridging one physiologic states. They enhance your bodies normal functions. If you have a well balanced diet you don't need to take extra. Small amounts of extra, like a daily vitamin tab, may be helpful if your diet is insufficient, but will do no harm. Overdosing with anything can create imbalance. You're better off eating a well balanced diet than taking pills.
