Hi this is Oakdale MN chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana and I found this great article in our Doctor’s Resource Center on our website.  The article talks about the importance of Vitamin K for bone health, which is largely deficient due our lack of consumption of grass fed meat and dairy.

Vitamin K1, known as phylloquinone, is made by most plants and is found in high amounts in green leafy vegetables. Vitamin K2, a form of vitamin K found in meat, cheese, and some other foods, is actually a group of fat-soluble vitamins known as menaquinones.

Hi this is Oakdale MN chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana and I found this great article in our Doctor’s Resource Center on our website.  The article talks about how supplementing with CoQ10 help to improve heart function in those suffering with heart failure.  This is a very important supplement for those on statin drugs taken for high cholesterol as these medications deplete CoQ10 and increase the risk of heart failure.

Researchers used meta-analysis to combine data from 13 previous clinical trials to study the effects of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplementation on heart failure.

Hi this is Oakdale MN chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana and I found this great article in our Doctor’s Resource Center on our website.  This is another article that highlights the benefits of using quality fish oils to improve performance and decrease the risk of chronic disease.

Research has suggested that omega-3s, as part of a balanced diet, support the health of both brain and body. A study in Nutrition Journal adds to this science and finds that middle-aged and older people who took a daily fish oil supplement improved brain performance and lowered risk factors for chronic disease.

Hi this is Oakdale MN chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana and I found this great article in our Doctor’s Resource Center on our website.  The article talks about how the addition of the healthy fats found in fish have resulted in improvements in the reading ability and behavior of the children consuming them.

More and more, science supports fish oil’s reputation as brain food. The latest evidence comes from a study that found both reading and behavior improved in primary school-aged children who were reading below their grade level after supplementing with the omega-3 fatty acid DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
