An Excellent Resource for Supplement Information

(I-Newswire) December 28, 2009 - Studies have proved that taking vitamin and mineral supplements can potentially improve health, protect against disease and provide the energy needed to live a healthy life. In order to give a balanced amount of all the nutrients needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle consumers need to educate themselves about some of the best vitamin supplements in order to make an informed choice.

Newcastle, United Kingdom (December 28, 2009) - Solgar.co.uk provides an easy, reasonably priced way for consumers in the UK and EU to purchase high-quality vitamins and health supplements online. But the website offers much more than just well-priced vitamins; it is also provides a useful online guidebook to health problems and suggested natural solutions.

Under the tab “Health Concerns”, website visitors can scroll through a list of hundreds of maladies. Clicking on one of the health problems, such as “Allergic Rhinitis”, the website provides a suggested list of solutions – not all of which involve buying one of their products. Under Allergic Rhinitis, for example, Solgar.co.uk suggests that allergy sufferers should first take an allergy test or possibly work with their doctor to start a diet low in potential allergens.

The website's “Vitamin Guide” section offers an extensive list of vitamins, health supplements, natural foods, and natural remedies with details on each. Clicking on “Iron”, the website first provides a description of what iron is and how it is used, then it displays a table that lists the reliability of the scientific data on the left, correlated to how iron is used on the right. Unobtrusively on the far right, Solgar's various iron supplements are listed for purchase.

After the Vitamin Guide tab comes “Herbal Remedies”. Like the Vitamin Guide section, the Herbal Remedies section lists alphabetically a large number of herbs, berries, and powders. Clicking an herbal remedy leads to a page similar in format to those pages under Vitamin Guide described above – very helpful when trying to sort out fact from myth surrounding a given herbal remedy.

The “Homoeopathy” section of Solgar.co.uk is similar to the Health Concerns section, but suggests various homoeopathic remedies rather than specific herbal or vitamin supplements.

The website also provides a useful “Safety Checker” portion. Unlike the previous sections of the website detailed above, Safety Checker lists commonly prescribed medications. By clicking on one of these medications, such as “Allegra”, the website lists the active ingredient in the drug and gives further details about it.

Generic names and similar medications are listed above this description, and below the description is a list of what users should avoid due to adverse interactions with the drug, followed by a natural alternative that might relieve the same symptoms. In the case of Allegra, the website recommends avoiding several fruit juices because they deplete the absorption of the active ingredient, and suggests that supplementing Allegra with St. John's Wort may increase absorption.

In short, Solgar.co.uk is interested in more than just selling its product. Through providing users with extensive data regarding both alternative medicine and traditional medicine and related scientific studies, Solgar.co.uk enables its users to take a proactive approach to their own health.
