Top-Selling Supplements, Smart Trends in Self Care

[View this email in your browser]( Top-Selling Supplements, Smart Trends in Self Care Fifty million people around the globe in 180+ countries have downloaded the iHerb app in order to discover the wide range of supplements and herbs available on the site. And 36 million of those folks have left reviews, letting us know what products they are interested in and what they have purchased. In the US, the site is ranked the #1 source for alternative and natural medicine products. So what have those folks been buying lately? - #1 most popular product was [a probiotic delivering a combination of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria](. These gut-friendly bacteria help maintain gut health and contribute to well-regulated glucose levels, a strong immune system, and healthy brain function. —they may even help manage depression and anxiety. - #2 was [hydrolyzed marine collagen peptides with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C](. Marine collagen may help replenish collagen in your skin, reducing the risk of crepey skin and wrinkles. The hyaluronic acid may help retain moisture in your skin—also important for a smoother, less wrinkled appearance. - [Omega-3s with EPA and DHA]( ranked # 3. Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory—important for supporting heart health. They can be derived from algae (my favorite) and from fish oil since they occur naturally in fatty fish like salmon, herring and anchovies. - In October we saw [best-selling rosemary oil]( emerge as a major trend among folks looking to improve the health of their scalp and hair. It contains rosemary oil along with coconut, tea tree, basil, soy, peppermint, eucalyptus, grape seed oil and more! No wonder it tames split ends and soothes a dry, itchy scalp. - And a surprise appearance is being made by [spermidine—a naturally occurring polyamine found in all living organisms](. Polyamines are important in creating amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Amines also help maintain DNA stability and promote a friendly relationship between DNA and RNA, plus they help prevent cell death. These abilities mean that spermidine can support healthy aging. One way it does this is by helping the body prolong the lifespan of cells in the liver, heart and muscle tissue. It also helps maintain a healthy, clean cellular environment by making sure dying and dead cells are swept away and vibrant, functioning ones stick around. FYI: This process is called autophagy. Once again curious consumers are ahead of the curve in learning about exciting new areas of research, evidenced by the 1700% surge in iHerb searches for spermidine in the past five years. Recipe: Miso Flounder Looking for a way to incorporate probiotics into your diet? Try this recipe - it's healthy and light, phenomenally flavorful, and fancy without trying! Mild, white, flaky flounder en papillote (aka in a parchment packet) with miso (fermented soy beans), leeks, and lemon. Miso seems to be the most popular condiment around these days and no surprise — it’s rich and savory, faintly sweet, and adds so much tantalizing umami flavor with just a quick slick over this fish. We add some broccolini, spinach, and fresh dill, then wrap the whole bundle in parchment paper to create a pretty pouch that steams everything to juicy perfection. Bonus: this is as easy to prep as it is to clean up — and even more fun to eat when you have a delicious little present to unwrap at mealtime!
