the binge eater diaries

I’ve tried alot of supplements over the years, mainly when I noticed my hair thinning.  but there have been a few that I find make a difference in how I feel.  Although none really re-grew my hair, good health is essential to having good hair.  These are the supplements that I think are worth taking.

Mainly, if i notice an increase in my mood and energy level, I can say that it is a good supplement

1.) Floradix- a natural form of iron from botanical sources in a liquid form.  ~$40/mo.

2.) Dr. Ben Kim’s Acerola cherry vitamin C powder- goes hand in hand with iron supplements, but I notice an improvement to my dry hands in the winter when I take this. ~$30/bottle, lasts ~1month or so, depending how often i use it.

3.) Cholorella and Spirulena- just feel over all better. price varies depending on brand, but ~ $16/ bottle which lasts a while.

4.) Organic, raw, unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar- a good digestive aid and over all tonic and prebiotic. A fermented food. ~$6/bottle

5.) Pearls probiotics-feel so much better with the beneficial bacterias. this brand can be taken w food and does not require refrigeration. $20/mo.

6.) Celtic sea salt-with cooking or dissolved in a glass of water in the morning.  good for people with the mysterious “adrenal fatigue syndrome”.  actually makes me feel like I am retaining more water, as if i’m not so light headed. ~$5/bag-lasts a while.

7.) Standard Process Chaste Tree Berry- a good female hormone regulator. I was put on this by NP when i quit BCP’s. helped to regulate my cycle and pms symptoms.  I just feel more on an even keel when I take this. ~$90/3 months supply

with the exception of the Chaste Tree, I don’t need to take these daily.  so it’s not like I buy all these every month.  i just can’t afford them all.  I kind of know when I think a particular supplement will help and as long as I keep myself feeling balanced, I don’t need them all the time.
