People generally find it a nuisance as it grows everywhere, on lawns, roadsides, banks, and waterways. Dandelion is one of the most nutrient-rich herbs in the plant kingdom.

In Asian and Arabian culture, leaves and buds are ingredients of salads, coups and teas.

Chinese, Arabian, Native American, and European traditional medicine have used it since as early as the 10th century. Following this tradition, many studies have looked at the benefits of Dandelion.

It also appears on the Pharmacopoeias of Austria and Britain, as well the as The Czech Republic and the Ayurvedics.

Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10) is a natural antioxidant synthesized in body cells. It is naturally present only in small amounts in a wide variety of foods, and comes in two forms: ubiquinol, the active antioxidant form, and ubiquinone, the oxidized form, which the body has to convert to ubiquinol. Both types are available in supplements and deliver pretty much the same therapeutic effects: antioxidant, heart protective and migraine prophylactic.  The beneficial effects of CoQ 10 are focused on its vital role in oxygen utilization and energy production, particularly in heart and skeletal muscle cells. A typical North American diet includes approximately 10 mg of CoQ 10 daily, thus taking CoQ 10 supplements is recommended to meet the daily value.

Vitamin D can be obtained in the diet, but it is most commonly known to be made in the skin when exposed to sunlight. There are two forms of vitamin D, vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), of which the D3 form is generally accepted to be the more bioavailable form of the two and thus is the form you should look for in a supplement. Deficiency in vitamin D has become more common as the evidence of sun damage and skin cancer has resulted in people limiting their skins exposure to the sun. In northern climates where long cold winters keep people inside and covered up, deficiency is even more common. A recent US study reported deficiency rates of 41.6%-86% in a study of over 4000 individuals. The importance of vitamin D in bone...
