It's no wonder vitamin sales are up. With the tight economy we're trying to stay healthy in order to save on expensive healthcare. At the Integrated Medical Center that's always been my philosophy - spend a little money now and save money in the long run. Here are my top ten money-saving herbal remedies to keep you healthy in a tough economy.

Stay Strong

Your immune system is your first line of defense. It's an amazingly complex and fascinating system. To illustrate, consider what happens to the human body when it dies. Within hours various bacteria and parasites invade and start to break it down. Your immune system keeps all of this- and more - at bay.

1. Echinacea - This time-tested immune booster is America's #1 herb for respiratory and sinus issues.
2. Ojibwa Herbal Extract^TM - Based on an original formula created by the Ojibwa Native Americans, this is an extremely potent herbal blend of turkey rhubarb, sheep sorrel, burdock root and slippery elm bark. Ideal for immune boosting, cleansing and detoxifying.

Stay Trim

More than 60 percent of us are overweight. And with that comes a host of health concerns like uncomfortable joints, blood sugar, or heart issues. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a reduced calorie diet and a regular exercise plan, can help you reach your weight goals. These can help maximize your efforts even more:

3. L-Carnitine -L-Carnitine, a unique amino acid, converts body fat into energy. Without L-Carnitine, fats cannot be burned. Instead, they build up in the blood as fats and triglycerides. L-Carnitine also increases the effectiveness of antioxidant Vitamins C and E.
4. ACV+ with Green Tea^TM - This exclusive formula from Botanic Choice has been used by more than 400,000 people with reported loss of 20-72 pounds. Chances are, it can help you reach your weight goals, too.

Stay Flexible

When your joints are uncomfortable, swollen and sore, it's difficult to stand for a long time, walk easily or even get up from the couch. Try these and start moving again:

5. Turmeric - Known as a cooking spice, turmeric helps ease swelling, discomfort, and stiffness.
6. Ultra Joint Complex^TM - Whether it's due to wear and tear of your joints or you have a breakdown in cartilage, Ultra Joint Complex addresses the multiple reasons why you could be hurting.

Stay Heart Healthy
Sadly, most of us will end up with heart concerns, a result of lifestyle choices and genetics. But there are things you can do, like exercise, eat right and supplement with these natural solutions:

7. CoEnzyme Q-10 - Your body produces less of this heart-energizing nutrient, so you must supplement, especially if you take cholesterol-lowering statin drugs.
8. Cholest-Ex^TM - This exclusive blend contains seven of nature's secret weapons to better metabolize cholesterol and foster artery health.

Stay Happy

It's no secret that stress can wreak havoc on your health. In my practice 7 out of 10 patients have physical issues related to stress. Here is what I recommend:

9. Posinol® - Posinol® works with your brain's naturally occurring neurotransmitters including serotonin to boost your mood.
10. Stress-Ez^TM - Stress-Ez blends together eight herbs known for their ability to calm the body, revive the spirit and relax the mind. It's an all-natural way to regain peace and order to your life.

Natural remedies help keep you healthier and wealthier...and that's wiser in any economy.
