NO, and YES
️If your LAB REPORTS say that markers are LOW-Then YES all year around
️If your readings are very well in the normal range -Then NO
️Please CHECK after every 3-6 months if you have a tendency of
LOW markers, then see if you need to top up or you can take a break and RESTART.
Take care
YES
️1-If you have very dry skin, excessive hair fall,  and brittle nails.
️2-After a certain age for joints (to ensure adequate amino acid building blocks.)
Before the supplementation,  please work on Dehydration –
good hydration is vital for hair, skin, and nail health, especially the skin.
Remember that this is not just about drinking sufficient water but also ensuring good cellular hydration via electrolyte balance.
For muscular spasms, tension, tightness, including headache, 
I recommend magnesium glycinate or malate.
These chelated forms of magnesium typically do not affect the GI tract much
and won’t overstimulate an already-healthy bowel movement habit.
So good for the ones who have a sensitive stomach.

Please note that supplements CAN NOT SUBSTITUTE the benefits of eating whole plant-based organic food for good health & well-being.

There are many different forms of magnesium available on the market.
Citrate is one of them.
If you have a tendency of constipation-  I recommend magnesium citrate.
Magnesium glycinate/ malate- do not affect the GI tract much and won’t overstimulate an already-healthy bowel movement habit.
WHY MAGNESIUM?
Tightness, tension, spasm…  throughout the body, these symptoms are often a sign of insufficient magnesium.
 Magnesium functions as a bit of a “master” electrolyte in this case
because it directly controls the pump that allows potassium to flow into the cell (where benefits can actually be experienced).
Especially because it is increasingly less prevalent in farm soil, dietary magnesium insufficiency is common.
Here are three (big!) groups of patients who are more likely to struggle with insufficient magnesium.
That is, those who:
1-Have Type 2 Diabetes (or are on the spectrum of developing it e.g. prediabetes, insulin resistance, abdominal obesity).
2-Regularly take Proton Pump Inhibitor medications (e.g. Protonix, Prilosec, Nexium), usually prescribed for acid reflux.
3-Use diuretic medications, especially for hypertension.
These drugs cause loss of electrolytes due to increased urination.
Ironically enough, this includes potassium and magnesium, two minerals that are vital to maintaining healthy blood pressure in the first place.
4-For attention deficit, anxiety, panic, and those who are easily startled.
5-For cardiovascular disease and related concerns

It`s always safe to start a supplement after a blood test/lab report so that you know how much your body is lacking.

SOLGAR, CYTOPLAN, NUTRISORB DROPS BY Biocare, NATURE’S BEST. All above are good, or look for brands which based on the concept of nature meets science.

digestive problems.

Iron deficiency can come from a
1-poor diet
2- blood loss.

Vitamin D is a steroid hormone: It's HUGELY IMPORTANT for the GUT HEALTH, absorption of

supplementation, for now, is important.
Give them D3 (1000 iu) for 1 month then you may increase to 2000iu in next month if need to. Always
with a meal for the better absorption
Never supplements with BOLUS DOSES( 5 or 10/40,000 iu or more) as it depletes MAGNESIUM LEVELS.
LOW AND HIGH LEVELS, BOTH ARE EQUALLY BAD FOR OUR BODIES!
Magnesium is required for Vitamin D conversion, whether it's from supplements or the sun. As it a
person is low in Magnesium, it shuts down the vitamin D synthesis.
They need 150-200mg of magnesium every day, either from food or supplements. AVOCADO,
ALMONDS, CASHEWS, EDAMAME, OATS, PEANUTS & PEANUT BUTTER, POTATO WITH SKIN,

WHOLE GRAIN, BANANA, BROWN RICE, KIDNEY NEBEANS ETC. ALL ARE GOOD SOURCES OF
MAGNESIUM .

Collagen is a protein.

It provides structure to our body like bones, skin, tendons, & ligaments. As we age, our body produces less & lower-quality collagen.

Due to this, our skin becomes less firm & supple.

Cartilage also weakens with age.

We need these 4 nutrients to help produce collagen. Vitamin C, proline, glycine, copper & high-quality protein (which give amino acids to the body). citrus fruits, bell peppers, and strawberries, cabbage, asparagus, and mushrooms, sesame seeds, cocoa powder, cashews, and lentils, aloe vera, chia seeds, flax seeds all are important for collagen.

STOP eating refined sugar & refined carbs.

Sugar interferes with collagen’s ability to repair itself. Avoid too much sun exposure. If you are facing an Arthritis condition, you need to start collagen supplement as it helps otherwise well.
