FAQ

1. Are natural products safe to take?

The safety of natural products depends on many factors.  When quality natural products are taken in generally recommended doses, they are most often safe.  However, not all natural products are entirely safe and without adverse effects.  They are certainly not all safe for all people.  Also, there are reports that some natural products are poorly manufactured and contain impurities, adulterants, or contain far less or far more of the ingredients than stated on their labels.

We recommend that you purchase and consume only products made by companies that are recommended to you by a knowledgeable health professional.

5. What is the difference between calcium supplements?

There are dramatic differences in calcium supplements. The differences are mostly centered around two important areas, type of calcium, and additional ingredients. There are many different types (salts) of calcium used in calcium supplements. Some of the better types are citrate, citrate/malate, malate, gluconate, aspartate, and hydroxyapatite. Some much less preferable types are carbonate, phosphate, and lactate. The most important additional ingredients to look for in a quality calcium supplement are Vitamin-D and magnesium. Calcium is most effective when taken with food. Calcium is much more effective when it is part of a healthy diet and lifestyle as described in Good News About Health by Ray Buser R Ph..

6. What does a Gluten-Free diet mean?

A gluten free diet is a diet that contains no gluten containing foods. Gluten is a plant protein found mainly in wheat but also in barley, rye, and oats. Unfortunately, gluten containing additives are used in many foods and medicines.  Many people are sensitive or intolerant to gluten. This intolerance to gluten can cause many symptoms of disease. The treatment of celiac disease (severe gluten sensitivity) requires total avoidance of all oral products and food that contain gluten.  A website with helpful information about gluten allergy and celiac disease is www.celiac.org.
