Yes, Nordic Omega 3 fatty acids is a tradename. It's available at Vitamin Shoppe,
GNC and probably at many other pharmacies and whole foods stores, as well. I take
about 1,000 mg per day and that's not too much. (Incidentally, omega 3 fatty acids
will improve hair growth if you are getting too many acidic foods in your diet--that
is, ones that are digested as highly acidic, e.g., red meats, wheat, milk products, etc. I lost hair in patches, and it came back quickly after adding Omega 3's to my
diet.) The medication Depakote (Valproic acid) is notorious for causing hair loss.

Wheat also will cause you to lose hair. I can't emphasize how much the new
book by Dr. David Williams called Wheat Belly is in beneficial terms to let us know
how serious it is to use wheat in our diets, particularly if we have a sensitivity to it.
The symptoms he discusses are enough to make one want to toss out all the wheat
in one's home! I've dropped it and feel much, much better. He explains how easily
one may substitute nuts, seeds, green vegetables for amino acids existing in grains.

You're pretty safe if your ask your pharmacist for a pharmaceutical grade multiple
vitamin. He/she can recommend one that is excellent. You probably won't get too
much of any one vitamin if you don't overdo too much the government recommended allowances. You know that they are way too low to be effective in maintaining good health. (They're just the amount needed to prevent illness.)

Vitamin C travels on the same pathway as glucose and when in transit glucose will win out every time leaving you deficient in Vitamin C. That's one reason why it's important to keep the vitamin C level high--that, and it has so many functionally effective uses for the body, almost more so than any other vitamin. About 1,000 mg per day is adequate for me unless I've had a lot of stress, then I may increase it by 500 mg.

Stress is a strong acid builder of the tissues and fluids. Try to keep things cool and calm around you to maintain that slightly alkaline state you want for your fluids, etc. That's what really keeps us healthy in the long run and overcomes the residue of medications.

The following paperback is the most helpful source I've ever used in learning about vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc. for nutrients that are right for us: Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & More
Choosing The Nutrients That Are Right For You by Pamela Wartian Smith, MD., MPH.

I wish I could get this into a more succinct article. It just seems to go on and on. Sorry about that.
Take care.
