The Best Remedies For Hot Flashes Graeme asks: His wife has been experiencing pre-menopause hot flushes. Most of the supplements focus on eostrogen i.e. Are phytoeostrogens which they are NOT a fan of due to increased risk of breast cancer etc. She has been using Magnesium which is helping a LOT, plus some Vitamin E and they have also heard Kelp powder (iodine) helps. Do you happen to have any other suggestions? In my response I recommend: -This article on acupuncture and hot flashes. -This article on black cohosh and hot flashes. -Black Cohosh/dong quai (e.g. Thorne MetaBalance) -Organic Maca Powder -TianChi -Vitamin E Does N-Acetyl Cysteine Increase Glutathione?

He has read some articles that say it can help with a wide variety of health issues - helping to make things better for the body. One of the major questions he had was how does it work to reduce pre and post exercise oxidative stress? Also, could you recommend a pure quality product? Are there any side effects from taking NAC? In my response I recommend: -PharmaNAC N-Acetyl-Cysteine -Liposomal glutathione How To Increase Shoulder Mobility Mark asks: In June this year he did a Tough Mudder and had fun and felt really good. The next day he played two, back to back, soft ball games. He felt a tweak in his shoulder every time he threw the ball but didn't think much of it.
