Tumeric...who knew??? The stuff that makes ball park mustard yellow is an anti-inflammatory and many practitioners now prescribe it for arthritis patients. David Leopold M.D. , a pain expert at Scripps in San Diego recommends 1,000 mg once or twice a day.
Rhodiola...is an herb grown in cold climates and looks promising for treating depression and fatigue. Tierona Low Dog M.D. states it's been used for years in Scandinavia. Recommended dose: 150 mg once or twice a day.
Algal DHA.....is an Omega 3 fatty acid which comes from algae as opposed to fish, so it's less likely to contain ocean pollutants or toxins. It was recently shown to improve memory in healthy people over 55. About 50% of our brains as made of fat, say Michael f. Roizen M.D. at Cleveland Clinic, DHA is an integral component of cell membranes and the major omega-3 fatty acid found in the brain, so it's essential for optimal brain function." Try 600 to 900 mg daily.
