Registered pharmacist, nutritionist and cosmetic chemist, Ben Fuchs shared alternative health concepts, and offered tips on supplements and healthy changes to one's diet and lifestyle. Reacting to a new study that found that vitamin supplements may not extend life, Fuchs agreed that in theory, food is the best way to take in nourishment, but because soil has often been depleted of essential minerals, supplements remain a vital source for needed nutrients. Talking about ways to boost the immune system, he cited the importance of relaxing the body and limiting food stressors such as sugar (which depresses the immune system). Vitamin C, selenium, and zinc are among the best supplements for immunity, he added.

Hyaluronic acid, available in supplement form, as well as naturally in things like bone broth, helps build connective tissue, and is an excellent supplement for the eyes, Fuchs reported. As far as supplements that enhance brain function, he recommended EFAs (essential fatty acids), and Vitamin E, as well as eating a ketogenic diet. He also related the condition of blepharitis (an inflammation or irritation of the eyelids) with digestive and immune system issues.
