This important nutrient has numerous functions, many of which are not as well-known as others. For example, this nutrient serves as an anti-stress antioxidant that is vital for adrenal function. In fact, this nutrient is more highly concentrated in the adrenal cortex than in any other organ. This nutrient is also essential for the manufacturing of collagen, helping to improve vascular disorders by strengthening the collagen structures of the blood vessels to prevent hemorrhaging and easy bruising. Research indicates that a majority of patients with heart disease exhibit very low blood levels of this nutrient. In addtion, this nutrient is necessary for bone maintenance, especially since collagen forms the structural framework of bones. Recent research indicates that this nutrient helps improve the maintenance of bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. What is the name of this nutrient?

This herb tightens the mucous membranes of the eye and helps relieve inflammation. Aucubin, one of the primary constituents in this herb, demonstrates anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity, making this herb especially useful for bacterial infections affecting the eye. This herb is helpful for acute and chronic eye problems such as redness and irritation, stinging, inflammation, infection, oversensitivity to light, and particularly blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelid) and conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva, the transparent membrane that lines the eyeball and eyelid), commonly referred to as "pink eye". A study involving 65 patients with conjunctivitis treated with single-dose eye drops of this herb found that 81.5% had complete recovery and 17% showed a clear improvement. What is this herb?

Answer: Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis)

This nutrient serves as a building block of brain tissue and is the primary structural fatty acid in the gray matter of the brain, as well as in the retina of the eye. Thus, this nutrient is essential for healthy brain development and mental function and is important for nerve signal transmission in the brain, eyes, and nervous system. Research has also revealed a strong inverse correlation between the levels of this nutrient in red blood cells and cardiovascular disease, confirming its cardio-protective (heart-protecting) effects. This nutrient must be obtained either from the diet or from supplements. What is this nutrient?

This amino acid is necessary for efficient fatty acid metabolism, which results in cellular energy production (in other words this amino acid is needed to help turn fat into energy). Athletes commonly take this amino acid to improve energy levels to achieve optimum exercise performance; however, individuals with chronic fatigue may also find this amino acid helpful for increasing energy levels. Since fatty acids are the primary fuel for energy production in the heart muscle, normal heart function depends on sufficient levels of this amino acid. In addition, newer studies reveal that this amino acid can help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood lipid levels. What is this amino acid?

Answer: L-carnitine
