SAM-e

The popular, over-the-counter dietary supplement SAM-e (pronounced SAMMY) shows promise as an equivalent treatment to prescription drugs for depression and osteoarthritis and may help some chronic liver conditions. This information comes from a just-released SAM-e Evidence Report Summary on the supplement sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

St John's Wort

St. John's Wort is a popular treatment for mild to moderate depression; St John's Wort is also used to treat anxiety, seasonal affective disorder, and sleep disorders. St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a long-living, wild-growing herb with yellow flowers that has been used for centuries to treat mental disorders as well as nerve pain. In ancient times, doctors and herbalists (herb specialists) wrote about St John's Wort as a sedative and antimalarial agent as well as a balm for wounds, burns, and insect bites.

Relora

It’s no secret that we tend to eat more when we are under stress – and stress is rampant in today’s society.  Recent studies associate stress-related overeating with release by the adrenal gland of the hormone cortisol.  New, all-natural Relora is an herbal blend which has been shown to normalize cortisol levels.  Relora may help minimize weight gain associated with emotional overeating when Relora is used as part of a healthy diet and exercise plan.
