thanksgiving

vitamins to help with the extra pounds?

suggestions?

another day...

more ginseng

i'm still only taking 1 a day... i'm telling you...intense.

i would recommend limiting caffeine intake if you decide to add ginseng to your supplement regimen

ginseng again

today will be day 3 on the ginseng.

anyone else have crazy side effects? i do feel an energy boost, but it's pretty intense and I don't think i could manage 2 of these a day.

i've also got l-arginine back in my system...which has meant some incredible night time erections

Day 2 on Ginseng

i can only handle 1 of these a day right now...what a burst of energy. wow. more later.

ginseng

ok, i've taken ONE ginseng today and i feel .. ALERT.

good for game watching... but wow. intense.

ginseng

so, i've bought some ginseng to go along with my new bottle of l-arginine...let's see if the combination has any exciting effects...

Vitamins in the Food I eat

So, the main courses of my meals today have been Kashi Brand products.

Here are the vitamins in the respective meals:

Breakfast -- 2 Kashi GoLEAN Blueberry Waffles -- Calcium, 6% RDA and Iron, 8% RDA (not many vitamins here, but I do take a multi- every morning)

Lunch -- Kashi GoLEAN Crunch and Yogurt

the cereal -- Calcium, 4%; Iron, 10%; Phosphorous, 10%; Magnesium, 10%

the yogurt -- Vitamin A, 15%, Vitamin D, 20%; Calcium, 20%; Phosphorous, 15%

So, today, I've had 30% RDA of Calcium, 25% RDA of Phosphorous, and nearly 20% RDA of Iron just from the food I've eaten. Still, it's hard to see how I could get to 100% without some kind of supplement.

This morning's vitamins

1 fish oil
1 biotin
1 multivitamin
1 baby aspirin

i'm all out of l-arginine...

l-arginine and sexual function.

This fascinating article does mention l-arginine's sexual performance benefits. The benefits are suggested....not proven. But improved blood flow to your bodies extremities is always good, right?


i think so. That's why i take it...plus, as someone with cold feet, the blood flow can really help.

read the article -- ginkgo, ginseng, and other supplements are also discussed.

Morning

today, I'm out of l-arginine.

I need more.

The stuff seems to work and has great benefits. Lots of blood flow, which boosts muscle production and also helps with sexual function.

antioxidants

are in tea and cranberry juice.

I drink an 8 oz glass of cranberry juice very morning with my morning vitamins

i drink tea with no sugar throughout the day

and I drink an 8 oz glass of cranberry juice every evening with my vitamins

Cranberry juice (100% juice, no sugar added) is rich in vitamin C and fortified with vitamins A & E ... Northland Juice has grapeskin, pomegranate and other added fruits to boost its antioxidant properties

antioxidants help keep your body healthy...and cranberry juice naturally promotes urinary tract health

night time vitamins

2 fish oil pills, 1 biotin, and 1 l-arginine

the fish oil helps keep cholesterol low and is good for general joint health.

biotin is good for metabolism and helps with hair growth

and the l-arginine is good all-around...especially for muscle building and for blood flow -- bringing blood ALL over ...

Morning Vitamins

Each morning, I take the following:

1 multivitamin
1 biotin
1 l-arginine
1 fish oil
1 baby aspirin

A friendly reminder

to anyone following this blog: I am not a doctor.

I am a guy who reads a lot about vitamins and takes SOME vitamins and supplements regularly.

This is the space where I talk about my REAL experiences with vitamins and supplements. But, my advice is NOT medical advice. Just recommendations based on actual experience.

again on cayenne

I usually recommend (and practice) very healthy behavior -- smart eating and lots of exercise to maintain a healthy weight.

but, sometimes you want to look and feel great for a special event. Or, you have a date. Or whatever.

You've been working hard, eating right, and need a boost for the last couple pounds!

that's when it makes sense to use cayenne fruit.

just buy a bottle at your local store and follow the dosing instructions... i usually take half the recommended dose... and if i don't do anything else crazy (like eat a tub of ice cream) the cayenne can help me lose 1/2 to a full pound over 1-2 days. that's quite a metabolic boost.

I don't recommend taking it all the time b/c it "tears up" my stomach.

but... it works.

cayenne fruit

can really help with weight loss.. a good kick start, not an everyday thing...

BUT

wow. diarrhea.

got to be careful on the dosing.

stomach

ouch. my stomach is all rumbly.

What do i do?

What vitamins/supplements might help?

mid-day vites

biotin (for hair + metabolism), fish oil, and l-arginine

Biotin

is the word for today.

Hair growth plus metabolism.

It WORKS.

cayenne fruit and vitamin c

for weight loss and antioxidant properties.

cayenne fruit

aside for diarrhea, any horrible side effects?

this stuff warms me up... and helps me lose weight!
