Nailing healthy living?Think of simple ways to remove toxins from your environment. I try to buff my nails rather than apply nail polish to them. They look better, the shiny healthy look lasts longer and it’s great for circulation. Don’t get me wrong, on the odd special occasion I put on nail polish but there’s one extra benefit of keeping your nails varnish free. You can tell your health status. Doctors and naturopaths can even diagnose iron deficiency by looking at your nails. • Vertical ridges are very common as you get older. You may lack protein or more commonly minerals in your diet. • White spots usually mean you’re zinc deficient. This can effect immunity, libido and healing.

Top FAQs

I take Warfarin and am wondering if I am able to get the benefits of RES-V® PLUS.
Our stance as a natural supplement company (rather than working one-on-one with clients in a clinic setting) is to recommend the public DO NOT take RES-V® PLUS while on Warfarin. This is due to the lack of scientific evidence showing the safety of interactions or adverse reactions when combining these two products. While we have no evidence of negative interactions it is ABOUT HEALTH’S policy to err on the side of caution. There are a variety of nutrients, vitamins, minerals and life-style initiatives that can be implemented to assist with cardiovascular health; however these must be undertaken with a natural health practitioner, who will confer with your doctor.
Is it safe to take Aspirin or Cartia with RES-V® PLUS?
Yes we are happy for our customers to take RES-V® PLUS (at the recommended daily dose) while taking Aspirin or Cartia. To date we have no reports of any interactions. In our view, based on reports from clinical practice, feedback and naturopathic experience, RES-V® PLUS would have to be taken in very large amounts (beyond the recommendations cited on our information), for a long period of time, to produce any adverse interactions with mild blood-thinners.
Do I need to tell my doctor that I am taking RES-V® PLUS?
It is always prudent to inform your Doctor when you start a new supplement if you are taking medication. If your GP is not familiar with the ingredients in any About Health products he can send an enquiry to our technical team via email.
Do I take Res-V® PLUS at the same time as my other medications?
Yes it fine to take RVP with your other medications, but it is not imperative.
Can I take RES-V® PLUS if I am taking antidepressant medication?
Yes
Can I take Methotrexate with RES-V® PLUS?
Yes
I am going to have an operation in 2 months. Do I need to stop taking RES-V® PLUS?
Yes, we recommend stopping RVP two weeks before surgery, and resuming your usual dosage two weeks after surgery as long as there are no complications, and you are given the all clear by your doctor to resume your normal routines.
