Are Vitamins good?

Thousands of new discoveries are made every single day, and you had better believe that no doctor has the time to keep up with all of the latest research, especially if they are a general practitioner and need to know about all of the body's systems and keep up with what the latest drug reports are. Who has time to read up on vitamins(Vitatrol)? Also keep in mind - no drug rep will ever visit a doctor to sell them a vitamin. There just isnt any money in it. That doesn't make vitamins any less valuable though. If nothing else, vitamins are one of the most beneficial supplements you could take. Literally hundreds of thousands of clinical studies on vitamins have been published, and the benefits of vitamins should not be ignored simply because nobody is directly selling them to you.

While a great many medical professionals read this site for information, we have "translated" every single of the hundreds of medical studies you see here into plain english so that the general public can - for the first time - be introduced to the latest cutting edge research that our world has discovered. With the power of the Internet, and the work of scores of people, this information is available to you completely free of charge.

Instead of wading through extremely thick and almost unintelligible clinical studies, or waiting ten or more years for research findings to reach your doctors office, take a look at what medical science has discovered now about your favorite vitamins and supplements. Feel free to print these out and show them to your medical professional, and ask them to do their own research. They may even learn a thing or two they did not know before. Remember, doctors are generally taught how to treat diseases with drugs (disease --> treatment) and they know the basics about vitamins, but they may not be aware of the powerful preventative effects that vitamins have on the body. Why would they, when they barely have enough time to see their patients in between their family life and visits with drug reps?

Try this the next time you are with your doctor. Ask them if they are aware of a strong link between high doses of vitamin C and vitamin E and a highly decreased incidence (occurrence) of Alzheimer Disease? If yours does, then you should be thankful that your doctor is more on top of things than most. Many doctor's simply don't know. Don't let what they do not know hurt your body. Afterall, nobody else looks out for your well-being as much as you do.

Feel young again with GABA

When looking to feel younger and more youthful, many people will turn to Gamma Aminobutyric Acid, also known as GABA. GABA can be found in GH-ProStack.

What Is GABA?

While neurons produce it naturally, a GABA supplement can help you experience the many benefits of GABA. Without getting too scientific, GABA is an important chemical within the human brain. It is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, and as such it serves the brain by regulating the firing of neurons.

Without gamma-aminobutyric acid, your muscles would be constantly tense, your mind would never stop racing, and your overall ability to function would be severely impaired. Gaba supplements can be taken to increase this valuable resource in your body.

The GABA Supplement Experience

The sensation that gamma-aminobutyric acid gives is unique, and unlike any other commercially available natural supplement or drug. The descriptions vary from individual to individual, but the overall consensus is that there is something very special about natural GABA supplements.

Additional Information:

• Increase in the level of Human Growth Hormones (HGH)
• Induces relaxation and sleep
• Reduces muscle tension
• Reduces stress, anxiety and depression
• Promotes well being

GABA is produced in the human brain and functions as a balancer, maintains balance between the body and the mind in states of excitation. GABA supplement aids several complications including Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD, hypertension or HBP, obesity, insomnia, alcoholism and many more. It is also a great help in treating mental blocks.

GABA supplements are helpful for any active individuals, bodybuilders and athletes. They help in enhancing the body’s muscle mass, which is GABA’s conductive anabolic property and its lipotropic property helps in fat reduction and weight loss programs, simultaneously.

GABA can be found in GH-ProStack.

HGH and Amino Acids

HGH is very popular among young and old, but just about all HGH product carry, Arginine, and Ornitine. Both of these products are in Max HGH by Foundation Neutraceuticals.

L-arginine is a nonessential amino acid that stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. It's thought to work by blocking the hormone somatostatin. This hormone acts as a brake in the pituitary gland lowering the production and release of HGH. So lowering it greatly increases HGH in the body.

The other benefits of L-arginine supplementation include reduction of cardiovascular disease and lowering blood pressure. It also gives the immune system a boost by stimulating T-lymphocyte. Arginine is also well know for increasing sperm count and sexual functioning.

Arginine is found naturally in beans, seeds, chocolate, oats and grains. It is considered nonessential because the human body can manufacture it's own when needed. However, stress and trauma can reduce the bodies production and cause L-arginine to become an essential amino acid.

A typical dose of L-Arginine to promote HGH release is between 6 and 10 grams taken once at night on an empty stomach. . Some have been known to exceed this dose to gain even greater effects. Start with a lower dose and note the effects. You can then increase if needed.

L-Ornithine is an amino acid that is often used by bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts to produce the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) from the pituitary gland. L-Ornithine supplementation is meant to assist in the production of urea which is necessary for body detoxification purposes. Because L-Ornithine helps release the HGH hormones, it can help the body with the metabolism of fat and cell rejuvenation. A combination of the amino acids L-Ornithine and L-Arginine have been shown to assist in increased muscle strength.

Because L-Ornithine assists in the production of human growth hormone, it is taken to gain muscle mass by many bodybuilders. This amino acid is also helpful in wound healing and collagen production because of the detoxification properties it encourages and the increased protein synthesis. L-Ornithine is most often combined with Arginine for their synergistic properties.

EPHEDRINE WARNING

EPHEDRINE WARNING: This drug should not be used in combination with other stimulant products (e.g., caffeine), other cough-and-cold products, or as a dietary supplement for the purpose of weight loss or body building.

Other medications that interact with ephedrine include:blood pressure medications, tricyclic antidepressants, rauwolfia derivates (e.g., reserpine) and certain herbal remedies such as ma huang or St John’s wort.

Guaifenesin/ephedrine

Guaifenesin/ephedrine liquid is used for the temporary relief of wheezing and chest tightness caused by mild asthma. It is rarely used today because there are safer and more effective medications (such as albuterol and ipratropium inhalers) to treat asthma symptoms. It is also used to treat coughs due to respiratory infections (such as the common cold), especially when the cough has a lot of mucus. This product is generally not used for an ongoing cough from smoking or long-term breathing problems (such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema) unless directed by your doctor.

Ephedrine is a stimulant (sympathomimetic). It works by relaxing airways to make breathing easier. Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, clearing congestion, and making breathing easier.
