Pharmacist Ben Fuchs talked about natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals our bodies need to maintain good health. Most skin problems are related to digestive health, he suggested, even something as benign as dry skin. Products such as probiotics, digestive enzymes, and EFAs can improve the digestive process, he said. Supplements that build up connective tissue have anti-aging properties and can fight against sagging skin, Fuchs shared. Glucosamine and chondroitin are powerful connective tissue-building supplements, and also improve circulation. They are best taken with Vitamin C, he added.

Vegetarians, Fuchs noted, need to supplement their diet with specific nutrients they may not be getting, like certain amino acids, and Vitamins A and D. Developed from an amino acid, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) helps protect the liver and detoxify the blood, he detailed. For further strengthening of the liver (such as for someone recovering from Hepatitis C), he recommended milk thistle, Vitamin E, and EFAs. Fuchs also spoke about how aerobic exercise is beneficial, and that sweating helps remove toxins from the body.
