whatever reason, you don’t eat 5 cups of<br />
vegetables and 1–2 cups of fresh fruit<br />
daily, then consider supplementing with<br />
a supergreen food powder or an antiinflammatory<br />
turmeric-based blend.<br />
Bioflavonoids are a major agent of repair,<br />
specifically for the inner lining of blood<br />
vessels. Healthy blood vessels don’t accumulate<br />
plaque, which is a major cause of<br />
high blood pressure and stroke.<br />
and phosphatidylcholine. These are<br />
very important nerve factors that help<br />
balance the sympathetic (fight or flight)<br />
and parasympathetic (feed and breed)<br />
responses to our constantly stimulating<br />
environment. A high-quality<br />
B complex supplement can help<br />
you get adequate amounts of these<br />
key stress-busting nutrients.<br />

Vitamin A for Healthy Skin<br />
The fat-soluble fraction of a major<br />
bioflavonoid (beta-carotene) is vitamin<br />
A, which is important for skin health.<br />
And it also has significant antiviral<br />
properties. If you suffer from acne or<br />
easily irritable skin, try a course of<br />
25,000 IUs of vitamin A (in a gel cap)<br />
daily for 6 weeks to 6 months.<br />
Vitamin E for Women Over 40<br />
Women over 40 should consider<br />
adding vitamin E to their health and<br />
beauty regimen, because it’s a natural<br />
attenuator of estrogen, which keeps<br />
the skin elastic and bones strong.<br />
Try 400–800 IUs daily unless you have<br />
premenstrual breast tenderness, in<br />
which case a higher dose of 1,600 IUs<br />
may be helpful for a few years.<br />
B Vitamins for Stress<br />
B vitamins are often referred to<br />
as “antistress,” and for good reason—<br />
they are important nerve nutrients.<br />
Red meat is a major dietary source of<br />
B vitamins, in particular B 12<br />
. Vegans<br />
need to supplement with B 12<br />
(1,000–<br />
2,000 mcg daily, ideally in sublingual<br />
form). Fermented foods are a good<br />
source of B 12<br />
, as is nutritional yeast—<br />
but you probably won’t want to eat ¼<br />
cup of nutritional yeast every day!<br />
The numbered B vitamins are watersoluble<br />
and are generally well absorbed<br />
unless you have a chronic gut issue such<br />
as celiac disease. Many folks with celiac or<br />
IBD are B-deficient—ask a nutritionally<br />
oriented doctor or naturopathic physician<br />
to check your blood levels.<br />
There is a category of fat-soluble<br />
B vitamins as well: lecithin, inositol,<br />
