Pre-Workout , Workout, Post-Workout

I am always interested in new products, especially sports nutrition ones. MRI makes two products called: Black Powder(Pre-workout) and War(Workout and Post-Workout). I take the Black Powder 30 minutes before my workout and I am full of energy, muscles look more vascular, stronger without feeling fatigue afterwards. The War product helps with the stress that is being put on your body with ingredients such as glutamine and an Amino Acid blend which helps with recovery. I really like these products, I just turned 40, but Black Powder and War make me feel like 20 while working out. Remember, always follow the directions and the warnings.

Immune boost for my son

My son recently was diagnosed with mononucleosis, he is 7 and 1/2 years old and is a great eater and hardly ever sick. This virus really has made him fatigued and upset, however, he is on his way to recovery. I normally give him the VA essentials multivitamin for kids and Carlson DHA chewables for kids and since cold and flu season began daily dose of Culturelle. Since being diagnosed with Mononucleosis the conventional treatment is rest and fluids and treat the fever if present, however, I want his immune system to get stronger, in addition to his normal regimen mentioned above I added a product called: Sambucus for kids. This product contains: Elderberry, Echinacea, Propolis and also extra Vitamin D3. He is doing great, more energy and no fever and on his way to a full recovery hopefully.

Oscillococcinum

We all know about the seasonal flu and H1N1 by now. I was feeling sick about a week ago and immediately I took oscillococcinum for the recommended two days(3 times a day, every 6 hours). My illness lasted about 4 days total and it did not progress. Of course, I ate right(fresh homemade chicken soup) and made sure I was hydrated everyday. My son was sick and I gave him the same regimen and his lasted about 3 days and was in uniform for his soccer playoff game. Conventional medicine and alternative medicine is not 100% effective, however we have some choices available to us that have alot of research to support their uses(conventional and alternative medicine). Remember always check with a healthcare professional(Doctor, pharmacist) if you need assistance with medications or supplements.

Immune Boost

Since it is cold and flu season, I like to take certain supplements to boost the immune system. I take probiotics, additional vitamin C, vitamin D and of course MAXGXL. My children get the probiotics every day along with their multivitamin which has vitamin D in it. The most important thing that is irreplaceable a good diet, the supplements are good, but the diet is key to a strong immune system.
