Supplements for Embedded UTI (backed by research)

If anyone had been following me on social media in 2022, you would know that I suddenly developed a UTI out of nowhere and that it became a chronic or embedded UTI because I was not able to tolerate antibiotics at the time due to nerve pain. I even tried something called Phage Therapy with Eliava Institute, and thankfully, that managed to resolve one bacteria that we cultured 4 times in a row. However, I was still left with bladder and kidney symptoms. It seems I likely had more than one bacteria causing the infection. While I waited for an …

Best Form of Quercetin Supplement For Absorption

There are many forms of quercetin supplements out there to choose from and they are often combined with other ingredients such as vitamin C, bromelain, and resveratrol to enhance its effects in the body.

Which Is The Best Form Of Zinc For Hair Loss?

Zinc is an important trace mineral that we all need to remain healthy. One of the obvious signs of a deficiency is hair loss, but this is usually temporary and regrowth will occur once zinc levels are corrected through supplementation. Most people in developed countries don’t have to worry about supplementing because they get enough through their diet. A deficiency is more likely to occur in developing countries. However, if you’re currently eating a vegetarian or vegan diet, you could be at risk. A healthy plant-based diet is usually low in zinc and high in copper. While a person eating …

White Peony Root For Autoimmune Conditions

White Peony Root has been used in Asia for over one thousand years to help treat many types of autoimmune diseases.

Best Spearmint Supplement For Acne (+ 2 Delicious Teas!)

I recently discussed how drinking spearmint tea can help reduce acne in women who have a high sensitivity to androgens or have too much testosterone.  When spearmint is used as a tea or as a supplement, it can have beneficial effects on the skin by reducing oil production, reducing pore size, and acting as an anti-inflammatory, which can help fight bacteria associated with acne formation. For those of you who want to use spearmint but don’t feel like chugging down several cups of tea throughout the day, which may result in numerous trips to the bathroom, taking a supplement can …

Hair, Skin, And Nails Vitamins Without Biotin

Although there are a huge number of vitamin supplements out there designed to help improve your skin, nail, and hair growth, the vast majority of them contain massive amounts of biotin. It’s almost impossible to find a good multivitamin supplement without mega-dosing on biotin. Although very safe in high amounts, some people can experience side effects such as acne breakouts and increased body hair growth. However, while almost no multivitamin excludes biotin, there are some available that contain no more than 30 mcg (100% RDA). This is far less than the many hair and skin supplements, which can have as much …
