Can my husband start taking Nurokind LC after breakfast for a month to help with his nutritional needs? He drinks Ensure powder with milk every day, but he still gets leg pain when walking long distances. He's also on vitamin D tablets once a month. I'm just wondering if this would help or if there's something else we should do?

I'm curious about what health tonic would be best for someone over 50 dealing with issues like digestion, tiredness, or high blood pressure. Are there any medicines or remedies that help support body organs as we age?

If u are having good diet and have a walk daily you may not need medicine except there is deficiency. Check with Vit B12 & DE. And if deficient then take medicine for it

I'm looking for some advice on treating bed sores, especially around the tailbone area. My loved one is unable to walk or stand, making it harder to care for her. Can you recommend any sprays that might help?

I recommend using a spray called "Prontosan Wound Irrigation Solution." This spray helps to cleanse the wound and promote healing. In addition to using the spray, it is important to keep the area clean and dry. Change the bedding frequently and use a special cushion or mattress to relieve pressure on the tail bone. Make sure to reposition the patient regularly to prevent further pressure on the affected area. If the bed sore is severe, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
