Supplements

Hello everyone,
I would like to talk to you for a few minutes about supplementation. I'm sure everyone of you understand the importance of taking a good multivitamin. You've probably heard that Americans need more calcium, vitamin D, vitamin C, etc.. You've probably also heard the importance of a good antioxidant. When I look in my medicine cabinet I see a plethora of things to take. Every morning I opened my cabinet and take my multivitamin, my probiotic and anything else I feel I would need that day. On most days I will consume anywhere from eight caplets to fifteen caplets. Most of my clients have trouble remembering just a few things. I can understand this how most of them only think of their health or their bodies a few times throughout the day. When they happen to think of them they usually don't have their vitamins with them. I have recently been investigating a product that should replace most all of my supplements. This product is called Vemma. I'm really excited about its potential. The way it looks I will be able to take a 2 ounce drink of elixir in the morning and be done. If I train real hard or have a long run that day I may want to take another drink. I can't imagine looking in my medicine cabinet and seen only a few sports enhancing supplements. When you look at the list of recommended it daily vitamins and the amounts they should be taken I believe they are misleading. If your nutrition is fair and you're consuming high-quality foods you will be getting many of the nutrients you need already. In a much better form I might add. Many of today's multivitamins have isolated vitamins and minerals. When you isolate vitamins and minerals with out all of the synergistic properties become in nature you will be robbing your body of many nutrients that it stores to help your body processes. In time this leads to nutrient deficiencies in vitamins that are not listed in the RDA. Most vitamin manufacturers only include the vitamins in the RDA. Vemma has nutrients that are body ready and one of the highest amounts of antioxidants in the world. It appears to be the most complete liquid multivitamin, essential mineral, and antioxidant nutrition program in the world. I will keep you informed on how it's working out.
In good health.
