Health & Fitness

Good health is one of the most important assets and greatest blessings anyone can have.

We try to exercise regularly, eat sensibly and use vitamins, minerals and supplements to complete a well-balanced health and fitness program. We also recognize that good mental and emotional health and effective stress management are important to our physical health.

My personal health plan includes: and a vitamin and supplement program that includes beta carotene, vitamins B complex, C and E, selenium, potassium, magnesium, chromium picolinate, garlic, ginseng, zinc picolinate, saw palmetto complex and flax seed oil.

If I feel that I'm beginning to get cold, flu or virus symptoms, I increase vitamin C intake and add echinacea.

I am constantly seeking to fine tune my health plan. If you have questions, comments or suggestions please let me hear from you! jayenterkin@mindspring.com

Sources of Value-Priced, High-Quality Vitamins and Supplements

I buy a lot of vitamins and other nutritional supplements, and I try to get the best value as well as the highest quality. Here are some of the companies that I use:

L&H Vitamins: Offers 20% off a huge selection of name-brand items, with sale items at 40% off. Fast service, good prices. 800-221-1152.
Vitamin Shoppe: 20%-40% off, large selection, brand name and private label. Comparable to L&H, above. 800-223-1216.
Puritan's Pride: An incredible selection of private-label (Puritan's Pride) supplements, including some hard-to-find items. They have some great sales offers, but not consistently low prices. Reasonably fast service. 800-645-1030
Phar-Mor Drug Stores: Good prices and an increased selection of national and store brands.
Wal-Mart: Their store brand, Spring Valley, seems to be good quality and is very reasonably priced. Name brand items also at great prices.

If you have had good or bad experiences or information about the above companies, or know of other suppliers that offer good values, let us hear from you!
