<description>Topic: Calm Plus

Message: Its really good natural herb. Calm Plus which is formulated with three parts magnesium to two parts calcium-along with other ingredients for superior calcium absorption. This formulation will prevent a surplus of calcium and avoid symptoms associated with depleted magnesium levels. Calcium supplements taken without sufficient magnesium can actually LOWER the bone mineralization process .Natural Calm plus Calcium formulated which will prevent a surplus of calcium robbing the body's vital magnesium supply and avoid the symptoms associated with depleted levels of magnesium. Magnesium influences many bodily processes, including digestion, energy production, muscle function, bone formation, creation of new cells, activation of B vitamins and relaxation of muscles, as well as assisting in the functions of the heart, kidneys, adrenals, brain and nervous system. This is especially true when one is low in magnesium-often the case in today's diet of highly processed foods.Magnesium Stimulates hormone, calcitonin, that helps to preserve bone structure and draws calcium out of the blood and soft tissues back into the bones. It converts Vitamin D into its active form so that it can help calcium absorption. People with diabetes tend to have lower magnesium levels compared with those who have normal glucose tolerance. Supplementation with magnesium overcomes this problem11 and may help some diabetics improve glucose tolerance.Research also shows that magnesium deficiency will greatly inhibit calcium's absorption and subsequent effectiveness. For absorption and metabolism of calcium, adequate levels of properly formulated magnesium products are essential. Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax. Calcium is needed for blood clotting but magnesium keeps the blood flowing freely. It is vital to keep these minerals in balance. Too little magnesium to balance calcium can be both uncomfortable and unhealthy. According to Dr. Susan Brown, director of the Osteoporosis Education Project in Syracuse, New York Dr Sue Brown director of the Osteoporosis Education Project in Syracuse, New York, magnesium is just as important as calcium to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Research shows that 50% of adolescents consume less than 2/3 the RDA (Morgan, 1985; Lakshmanan, 1984; Pennington, et al, 1986; Brown, 2005).n addition, as estrogen levels drop during menopause, magnesium levels seem to diminish as well. For this reason, magnesium may also help to relieve some menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes.The most commons sources of magnesium are oxide, citrate, glycinate, and malate. People use oxide and citrate if they suffer from constipation to take advantage of magnesium’s laxative effect. Glycinate seems to cause little diarrhea and is the best choice for people who already have loose stool. Magnesium malate has been promoted for people with fibromyalgia to help break up lactic acid that seems to be part of the fibromyalgia picture.Magnesium activates over 350 different processes in the body, including digestion, energy production, muscle function, bone formation, creation of new cells, utilization of B vitamins, relaxation of muscles, as well as assisting in the functionsof the heart, kidneys, adrenals, brain and nervous system. Lack of sufficient available magnesium in the body can interfere with any or all of these processes. Muscle spasms, cramps, jerks, tics and hiccups can all be caused by a lack of magnesium. Magnesium and calcium work together to control muscle action; an imbalance of either will cause tension and cramps. Magnesium relaxes the muscles. With insufficient magnesium the muscles stay tense, causing cramping. Magnesium supplementation may reduce dehydration of red blood cells in sickle cell anemia patients.In addition to calcium, the product contains magnesium (Natural Calm), vitamin C, vitamin D and boron, which assist in the assimilation, utilization and distribution of the calcium within the body. This results in the creation of strong bones, joints and connective tissue, and a healthy, active immune system to protect against invasion of bacteria, viruses and other uninvited guests. Natural Calm Plus Calcium also includes potassium, which is vital for a healthy heart, nerve function and energy production.

<description>Topic: Spirulina

Message: Spirulina, (rhymes with 'ballerina'), is a traditional food of some Mexican and African peoples. . Spirulina is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and also provides alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), linoleic acid (LA), stearidonic acid (SDA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and arachidonic acid (AA). It possesses an amazing ability to thrive in conditions much too harsh for other algae. As might be expected, it has a highly unusual nutritional profile. Spirulina has a 62% amino acid content, is the world's richest natural source of Vitamin B-12 and contains a whole spectrum of natural mixed carotene and xanthophyll phytopigments.Several studies show Spirulina or its extracts can prevent or inhibit cancers in humans and animals. Some common forms of cancer are thought to be a result of damaged cell DNA running amok, causing uncontrolled cell growth. Cellular biologists have defined a system of special enzymes called Endonuclease which repair damaged DNA to keep cells alive and healthy.

<description>Topic: nettle tea

Message: Nettle tea- A perennial with separate male and female plants, Nettle (Urtica dioica) grows up to 4 feet tall and has toothed, pointed leaves that sting when touched. This sting causes a burning sensation. This because each hair consists of a sharp, hollow spine that breaks off easily, allowing the liquid inside, formic acid, to be released into the object causing the injury. In spite of its stinging, Nettles are of considerable use in many ways, including culinary; they contain vitamins A and C, iron, and a variety of other minerals. The young shoots can also be boiled as a vegetable. Nettle fibers can be spun into rope and made into cloth. Cosmetically, Nettle is a good cleanser, especially for oily skin. As a tea, Nettle may be taken hot or cold and many prefer it sweetened and flavored with lemon.
