| There
are some supplements out there you may not have heard
of, but they’re a popular way to lighten your
mood or lift your libido. Although they’re not
substitutes for prescription medications suggested by
your doctor, these supplements are recommended for certain
mild to moderate health problems by holistic medicine
experts from across the country. The following five
supplements are the ones most commonly recommended by
these holistic experts for their own patients.
Selenium:
Several studies show it may help boost immunity
and fight certain types of cancer.
Chasteberry:
Balances hormones to reduce PMS and menopausal
symptoms. It doesn’t have a direct hormonal effect
and so takes a little longer to work, so you have to
take it on a regular basis.
No-Flush
Niacin: Called “no-flush” because
it doesn’t give you that flushed feeling that
makes your cheeks rosy, niacin is generally taken under
a doctor’s supervision to reduce cholesterol.
HTTP:
Hydroxy-tryptophan may help boost your mood.
Cordyceps:
This rare mushroom was once used as an ancient
Chinese remedy to lift libido and reduce fatigue and
is now used by herbal medicine experts there to help
with energy balance. It was first used in the West by
athletes because there’s some evidence it may
also boost oxygen uptake during exercise.
Most
of these supplements, which range in price from $2.00
to $20.00, can be found in the supplement section of
your supermarket or pharmacy.
