Cold Sores
Cold Sores
Those who suffer regular re-curring cold sores are well aware of how horrible they are. They erupt when you feel ‘run-down’, at your lowest ebb - physically, emotionally and mentally.

Recommended Daily Allowances
The US, EU and World Health Organisation have created a list of Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA’s) for individual vitamins and minerals.
