Along with over the counter supplements, some people require prescriptions to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart ailments.

A few important supplements that are famous:

OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS: found in fish oil, flaxseed and other sources. This supplement has been shown to improve triglyceride levels as well as raise HDL levels, or 'good' cholesterol. They also possess an anti-inflammatory effect, which is beneficial for heart disease and other disorders. Dosages vary by individual needs and its a good idea to check with your Doctor or a Certified Pharmacist to see what strength you may require.

CALCIUM with VITAMIN D: may prevent the risk of Osteoporosis by providing nutrients to help with bone density and support bone health. Getting calcium from your diet is very important, but for those who don't get enough, you may want to think about calcium combined with vitamin D. The vitamin D works synergistically to help calcium absorption in the body. There are two main forms of calcium- calcium carbonate and calcium citrate.
