After Only One Week…

September 30, 2007

Good morning again. 

Time for an update on my progress since I personally started using GBG 10 In One Liquid Formula.  The timing is perfect.  Dave, one of our readers,  just left this comment:

“Have you had any success, please be honest,…” 

My answer is:  “Yes!

Now, I’m not going to lie and insult your intelligence and say that I grew wings after taking GBG Liquid Formula for only one week…or that I can now bench press 900 pounds …or that I can run the mile in one minute flat.  Nope, can’t do it. 

What I can tell you is that I am in the habit of taking my dose first thing in the morning.  As mentioned before it is very good tasting.  It is better than having a glass of orange juice to start off the day.  I feel good throughout the day.  I find that I don’t have a mid-morning craving for a snack, instead I am comfortable waiting till lunch time.  (Maybe we should be selling this a a weight loss supplement…no, just kidding).

To sum it up:  Yes I do feel better now than I did a week ago.  Is it a direct result of taking the GBG 10 In One Liquid Formula?  Yes it is but I don’t know at this point that it is really a change that is a direct result as much as I just feel good about myself at this point because I am doing something good for my body and it tastes good.

This is the main reason I started this thread.  I can’t ask you to spend $19.95 for something you can get in your own health food store for $9.95 unless there is a positive difference that I can link directly to GBG.  I figure that I owe it to the product to give it two full months.  If in that time I can prove to myself that in addition to having a fantastic taste, GBG 10 In One Liquid Formula has mad a significant improvement to my health and wellbeing, I will tell you so and I will become their strongest most inspirational spokesperson!  On the other hand, if I think you should save your money and look elsewhere, I will tell you.

You may, or may not like what I say here but you are getting a full measure of honesty.

That’s about all you need to hear from me today so I’ll let you go and write again soon.  Thanks Dave for your question and thanks to all of you for stopping by to read.


Guide to the E Vitamin

September 29, 2007

The E vitamin is extremely important for a variety of functions in the body. A healthy heart needs plenty of the E vitamin as it has been shown to actually prevent heart disease. The E vitamin can also help contain any existing heart disease and stop it from getting worse.
 
 E vitamin is also vital in protecting the cell membranes from the harmful free radicals that are present in the body. Without E vitamin, amongst others, the cell membranes would be damaged and this could lead to serious health problems, including cancer. The reason that the E vitamin is so effective against free radicals is that it is fat soluble so it can be absorbed into the cell membranes. The E vitamin is therefore essential for the immune system.
 
 The recommended daily amount of the E vitamin that a person requires depends on their body weight. This is connected to the fact that the more fat a diet contains then the more of the E vitamin that is needed. However, the only foods that really contain any reasonable amount of the E vitamin are vegetable oils, seeds, wheat germ, and nuts. It is for this reason that most people should take some form of E vitamin supplement.
 
 A deficiency of the E vitamin does not affect a person immediately. In fact, it can take months for the effects of insufficient E vitamin to be detected. After years of E vitamin deficiency there may e some detectable damage to the nerves of the spinal cord or retina of the eye but this is very rare. Most people obtain enough E vitamin from a normal diet but it is essential that the food that a person eats contains a little fat to help with the absorption of the E vitamin.
 
 There are a few medical conditions that may lead to a deficiency of the E vitamin and may require the person to take E vitamin supplements. Cystic fibrosis causes a person to be unable to digest fats well which leads to less of the E vitamin being absorbed. Crohn’s disease causes to lower absorption rates of the E vitamin and a supplement may be necessary. Some forms of liver disease can also lead to problems absorbing the E vitamin, especially through the intestine. Of course, as fat is required to help absorb sufficient amounts of the E vitamin, anyone on an extremely low-fat diet will need to discuss their options for increasing the amount of E vitamin that their body needs.
 


Buying Discount Vitamins

September 25, 2007

There are a number of ways that you can find discount vitamins. The most common is to wait until your favorite vitamin store has a sale but this can be a rather difficult way to get a discount vitamin. The problem is mainly due to the discount time. Most discount vitamin offers only have a limited amount of stock available and it is a case of first-come, first-served. The other issue with trying to get these discount vitamin offers is that they are strictly time limited and again, you may miss out unless you find out about the sale in advance.
 
 A large number of stores produce coupons that offer discount vitamin purchases. These coupons are often distributed in newspapers and magazines – the Sunday newspapers are so full of coupons that it may be time-consuming looking for the discount vitamin offers but it is worth the effort. You may find that some of these coupons do not give an instant discount vitamin purchase but you can claim the appropriate money back through a rebate system. Beware that some of these rebated discount vitamin offers require you to purchase additional equipment or accessories to qualify for them.
 
 One extremely good source for discount vitamin offers is to actually look for bulk purchases. This is an extremely underestimated resource as many people do not actually understand what a bulk purchase discount vitamin really is. In all honesty you are likely to get a better discount vitamin offer if you opt for a bulk purchase from your local outlet. This is because the bulk purchases offer the best discount vitamin prices possible. This is especially the case for vitamins that you may want to take on an ongoing basis. Vitamin C, for example, is a great choice to buy in bulk and obtain a discount vitamin price.
 
 It is extremely important, however, to ensure that the bulk discount vitamin purchases do not include vitamins that may have an expiration date that could be exceeded before they are all consumed. Do not be tempted to purchase bulk amounts of vitamins simply to obtain a discount vitamin price unless you are sure that you can consume all of the vitamins within the expiration dates given. One of the major mistakes that people make when looking for a discount vitamin is to overlook the expiration date. There may not be any danger if the discount vitamins are a few days past their sell by date but it is not worth the risk just to save a few pennies.


A Guide to Vitamin D

September 23, 2007

The D vitamin is the only vitamin that is not obtained from foods that are consumed. Instead, the D vitamin is actually obtained by sunlight on the skin. There has been a lot of media coverage about the dangers of getting too much sun but it is essential that the skin is exposed to sunlight to obtain the recommended daily allowance of the D vitamin. In reality, the amount of time that a person has to spend in the sun to receive a sufficient dose of the D vitamin is extremely small and just a few minutes a day will be sufficient and not have any adverse effects from the amount of ultra-violet light received.
 
 The most important function of the D vitamin is to help control how much calcium is absorbed from food. The majority of the calcium is used to build strong teeth and bones but it is also needed to send messages along the nerves and to help muscles, such as the heart muscles, to contract. It is the D vitamin that ensures that there is always sufficient calcium in the blood to perform these tasks. Other functions that require the D vitamin relate to the immune system and it is believed that it is also a contributing factor in reducing the risk of contracting cancer and, in particular, colon cancer.
 
 The variant of the D vitamin that is formed under the skin is known as vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol. This D vitamin is created when the ultraviolet in the sunlight reacts with a type of cholesterol that is found under the skin naturally. The D3 is converted into a more active form of the d vitamin in the liver and is then diverted to where it is needed the most. Some of the D vitamin remains in the liver and kidneys to help reabsorb the calcium from the blood. The rest of the D vitamin is dispersed to the bones to help them retain their calcium and the intestines to aid absorption of calcium from food.
 
 Even though the majority of the D vitamin is formed through the exposure of the skin to sunlight there are some foods that do contain some of the vitamin naturally. This form of the D vitamin is known as vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol. This is used in the same way as the other D vitamins and is the type used to create the majority of D vitamin supplements.


Discover the World of Vitamin C

September 20, 2007

Good evening to all of you out there.  It is good to have you back looking over the GBG 10 In One Liquid Formula Multi Vitamin and all of its tremendous benefits and how they contribute to the improved health of your body.  Read on my friends…

Vitamin C has got to be the most widely known vitamin these days. It is not surprising because the body needs Vitamin C for over 300 functions. In fact, the Vitamin C has been proved to help protect against heart disease, cancer and other serious illnesses. Without the Vitamin C the body would not be able to heal itself either. This is because the Vitamin C is vital for the formation of collagen. Whenever a person has a cut or an injury it is the collagen that helps repair the damage and without sufficient Vitamin C this would be almost impossible. Collagen has a multitude of functions in the body, including keeping the organs in place, and it would not be able to do this without sufficient Vitamin C.The Vitamin C is also an antioxidant for the body and helps other vitamins and minerals to be absorbed better. Folic acid and iron, for example, need the Vitamin C to maximize their usefulness. The more Vitamin C that the body has, the better its defense against colds and other common ailments and the Vitamin C may not prevent a person catching a virus but it does help speed up the recovery process.There is Vitamin C in almost every fruit and vegetable but some have far higher Vitamin C content than others. Cranberries and melons have high Vitamin C content. In fact, tropical fruits have the highest Vitamin C amounts of all fruit. Hot peppers are amongst the richest sources of the Vitamin C when it comes to vegetables. The hotter the pepper, the higher its Vitamin C content is. Unfortunately, the Vitamin C is water soluble so many vegetables lose their effectiveness as a Vitamin C provider if they are boiled for a long time. Steaming or quick stir frying vegetables ensures that more of their Vitamin C content is retained. The recommended daily amount of the Vitamin C is easily obtained from eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day if they are consumed raw or cooked quickly.

Vitamin C supplements are extremely useful to ensure that people obtain sufficient Vitamin C. However, with a balanced diet the amount of Vitamin C the body receives is likely to be sufficient. However, if a person begins feeling tired or lethargic then a Vitamin C supplement will help overcome this. There is no danger of having too much Vitamin C as the body simply excretes the excess.

Different Types of B Vitamins

September 18, 2007

Now on to today’s’ article on the Different types of B vitamins… 

There are a large number of B vitamins that are needed to keep all of the body functions performing properly. All of the B vitamins are essential for a number of different processes. Without sufficient B vitamins the blood supply would not be healthy and this leads to a variety of illnesses and diseases. The brain needs B vitamins to function correctly and the heart also needs B vitamins to stay healthy and prevent heart disease and food is broken down into the various nutrients by B vitamins. In fact, just about every organ and process within the body requires at least one form of the B vitamin.
 
 Thiamin, or B1, is the B vitamin that the body needs to keep all of its cells, especially the nerves, functioning correctly. It is especially important for memory and general mental health and is one of the B vitamins that is required to convert food into energy.
 
 Riboflavin, or B2, is the B vitamin that is essential for releasing the energy from food that has been consumed. Without this B vitamin the body cannot grow or develop properly as red blood cells will not be as healthy as they should be.
 
 Niacin, or B3, is the B vitamin that is involved in over fifty processes, ranging from detoxifying chemicals to making hormones and releasing energy from food.
 
 Pantothenic acid, or B5,works with several other B vitamins for a number of essential processes including breaking down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into energy and is also the B vitamin that is needed to form vitamin D, a variety of hormones, and red blood cells.
 
 Pyridoxine, or B6, is the B vitamin that is largely responsible for redistributing the amino acids to create over five thousand proteins that are needed by the body and is also one of the B vitamins needed to form various enzymes.
 
 Biotin, or B7, is one of the B vitamins that are involved in a number of processes within the body, including the breaking down of fats, carbohydrates and proteins into useable energy forms.
 
 Folic acid, or B9, is the essential B vitamin for aiding in cell growth and division, especially during pregnancy. This B vitamin is also necessary to make natural chemicals which control the appetite, moods and quality of sleep. It is also the best B vitamin for helping lower the chances of suffering a heart attack or stroke by keeping the arteries open.
 
 Cobalamin, or B12, is one of the B vitamins that is important in the process of converting the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into energy. This B vitamin is also vital in forming the protective covering of nerve cells and to keep red blood cells healthy, and help prevent heart disease.


My Progress with GBG Liquid Formula Vitamins

September 18, 2007

Good evening!

Don’t panic…I didn’t desert the ship :)   Just slow rolling around today with our next installment.  We have a good article tonight on the different types of B vitamins that I think you will find interesting.  I just wanted to give you a zero reference point for GBG Liquid Formula Vitamins from a personal point of view.  I am 59 1/2 years old.  6 feet 2 inches tall.  I weigh 274 pounds in my bare feet.  Reasonably good health.  Some hearing loss in both ears due to constant exposure to loud noise through many years in manufacturing (yes even with good hearing protection).  I am begining to experience mild bouts with arthritis in my legs and hands.  I also have mild circulation problems.  I rarely sleep through the night.  One, maybe two trips per night to the restroom.  None of this is meant to invoke feelings of pity, sadness, anger, disgust or misunderstnading.  It is simply a snapshot of my general health condition.  I wanted to establish my ground zero reference point for you.  I do not feel I can strongly recommend GBG Liquid Formula to you enthusiastically or honestly if I am not taking it myself.  I cannot boast of it’s great benefits if none are felt personally.  So with that being said, I began taking GBG 10 In One Liquid Formula for the first time this morning.  The taste was very pleasing…a little sweet but not like a soft drink or fruit punch.  It is not hyped with caffein so I didn’t feel a buzz.  In fact I felt nothing and that is good for day one.  It has taken me a long time to wear down and get into tired health.  I expect it will take me a while to turn it around.  Because of that fact, I will not be bugging your to death on a daily basis about all the changes I am experiencing unless I actually feel different.  Keep your fingers crossed and say a little prayer and I will do the same.


B12 Vitamin Basics

September 16, 2007

B12 Vitamin Basics

The b12 vitamin is just one of the essential b vitamins that are needed to maintain a healthy body and mind. Cobalamin is the alternative name for the 12b vitamin. The body needs the b12 vitamin for a number of different processes including converting the fats, carbohydrates and proteins from all food that is consumed into energy. One of the most important processes that the b12 is essential for is to create healthy red blood cells. The prevention of heart disease relies on the production of healthy blood cells and therefore the b12 vitamin is vital. The b12 vitamin is also vital for keeping the immune system functioning at its maximum efficiency. Not only this, but the b12 vitamin also works to form the protective covering of all the nerve cells in the body.

The production of red blood cells is not the only type of cells that the b12 vitamin is essential for. In fact, all of the cells in the body require the b12 vitamin, including white blood cells and nerve cells. The white blood cells are an important part of the immune system and without the b2 vitamin the effectiveness of the immunity of the body to germs and viruses is heavily reduced. The nerve cells need the b12 vitamin to create the fatty layer that will protect them from damage. The brain cells are particularly open to disease and damage if there is not enough b12 vitamin present to form this protective layer.

Even though the b12 vitamin is involved in so many essential processes the actual recommended daily amount that a body needs is quite small. The fact is that the majority of people consume much more of the b12 vitamin than  their body actually requires. The only issue is that the body cannot absorb the b12 vitamin very easily and has to create its own aid to the process. The intrinsic factor that the body produces helps the body to absorb the b12 vitamin that it needs from food but this still amounts to only half of the total b12 vitamin available. A deficiency in the b12 is extremely rare in most people and is made even less likely because the body can recycle the b12 vitamin that it already has absorbed.

A few groups of people may develop anaemia due to a lack of b12 vitamin in their diet. Young children often have a problem getting enough of the b12 vitamin because they may be extremely fussy eaters and it is important to encourage them to eat as wide a variety of foods as possible. This is not only the case with the b12 vitamin but is true for all essential vitamins and minerals.


A Guide to the B Complex Vitamins

September 15, 2007

Good afternoon to all of you GBG 10-in-One Liquid Multi Formula Fans!

I hope you are feeling well and healthy.  You most certainly are if you have already started taking your GBG 10-in-One Liquid Multi Formula!  Today we will be looking at the B Complex Vitamins.

There is a lot of discussion about the B complex vitamin and how it is essential for the body to perform a multitude of functions. However, the B complex vitamin is not simply one very complicated vitamin, as the name might suggest. There are actually eight B vitamins that are in the B complex vitamin as well as a few other related substances. The eight vitamins that make up the B complex vitamin are thiamine or vitamin B1, riboflavin or vitamin B2, niacin or vitamin B3, pyridoxine or vitamin B6, cobalamine or vitamin B12, folic acid, Pantothenic acid and biotin.  The other related substances that are also in the B complex vitamin include choline, inositol and para-amino benzoic acid.

Every part of the B complex vitamin performs its own individual function within the body but it is when they work together as the B complex vitamin that they provide essential maintenance for the body to remain healthy. The B vitamin complex comprises B vitamins which are water soluble and it is essential that enough of these vitamins are consumed on a daily basis. The body cannot store water soluble vitamins such as the B complex vitamin and this leads to a regular intake being required.

The B complex vitamins are extremely beneficial for a number of conditions and may be needed in additional quantities at certain times in a person’s life. Of course, there is a recommended daily allowance for the B complex vitamins that varies according to the sex and age of a person. However, doctors and other health professionals have discovered the benefits of increasing the intake of the B complex vitamin to help overcome certain illnesses.

Many people suffer from anxiety and stress at one time or another and research has found that the B complex vitamin can be beneficial in helping alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and stress. If a person has been unwell the B complex vitamin can be extremely valuable in aiding the recovery process. Fatigue can be a symptom of a multitude of illnesses as well as simply overdoing things but the B complex vitamin can help alleviate general tiredness and lethargy.

Interestingly, some skin conditions, such as dermatitis, can also benefit from addition B complex vitamin intake. In fact, a number of creams and other skin preparations contain added vitamin B complex that can be absorbed by the skin to alleviate the condition. The condition of a person’s hair will also be greatly improved with sufficient B complex vitamin intake.

Remember, for all your health and wellness needs, GBG 10-in-One Liquid Multi Formula goes the extra mile to help you meet them!
