A friend of mine swears by this anti-inflammatory blend of natural herbs. I use Now Foods for several items of my supplement regimen as I explore orthomolecular medicine. I know that CoX-2 and 5-LoX are enzymes that have the job of producing inflammatory eicosonoids that the Zone Diet seeks to modulate. In fact there is a whole line of pharmaceuticles that inhibit the CoX-2 enzymes. Asprin actually derives much of its effect by inhibiting CoX-2 enzymes.

Best Lip Balm
Recently found out from my mom that petrolium products when used on the skin can increase estrogen production. Yikes. I have used in the past and tottaly love Burt's Bee's wax and have decided to go back to it!
Dishwasing
I heard about Seventh Generation products and have decided to try out their dishwashing liquid. More information to follow.
Vitamin B-3 Niacin
Vitamin B-3 also known as Niacin or Nicotinic Acid is a precursor to NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). NAD is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body and a critical component in cellular energy production inside the 50,000 mitochondria of your 60 trillion cells. Niacin (not nicotinamide) is well known to increase HDL production which in turn helps lower and balance high LDL production. Niacin deficiency results in a disease known as pellagra. Niacin is involved in the production of serotonin the neurotransmitter most often acted upon in the psychiatric treatments. More information to follow as I conduct some self study.
