Good news for woman who take Sera

Heart attackless?

A study by the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that “intake of folate and vitamin B6 above the current recommended dietary allowance may be important in the primary prevention of coronary heart disease among women” (Rimm, Willet et al). Good news ladies it looks like the ingredients in Sera may also be able to help you slow down those heart attacks. Not that you are the exact “at risk type” but it’s always good to know that it can help prevent.

Get Sera now and boost your well being

Critical thinking

After reading the article, I hope you realize it is important to remain skeptical, stay informed and to remember that there are a wide number of items to science that need to be taken into consideration. These concepts are relatively simple but the problems are increasingly complicated and the more complicated a problem is the harder it becomes to ascertain what is truth and what is false correlation. Only true scientific manipulation of a single variable provides clearer views, yet even then, concepts such as minimum and maximum effective dosages may slip by. 

But Sera uses the best in critical thinking just like its ingredients and research practices. You can increase your energy with Sera, and boost your mood.

Is it strong enough for an intervention?

Like the minimum effective dosage concept, sometimes variables such as food or working out need to be strong enough for an intervention. For example, one study on phytonutrients showed poor results and even may have expedited cancer.

 

This goes against earlier research in labs where phytonutrients were tested at a molecular level. Who were the samples? Smokers! Not just early smokers but smokers who were older. No wonder certain phytonutrients may not have worked, smokers maybe doing more harm to their bodies than a phytonutrient could help. It gets even more complicated if you remember everything else in the article.

For example, it may not have been an effective dose and if it’s a cumulative effect, smoking may have been counter-acting its effect meaning larger sums of the phytonutrient may have been needed. Studies such as these and anything science claim based should be met with critical thinking and skeptical optimism both good and bad.

Sera doesn't make any absurd claims, it provides a 110% money back promise, if your energy increase isn't as much as you think it should be then get your money back. The promise is made this way to insure every product is created with high quality ingredients and effective science.

Reverse correlation Pt 3

I like to refer to this as ‘chicken or the egg’ as sometimes it can be difficult to establish the direction of a correlation. For example, research on reading has shown poorer readers make more erratic movements and more stops per line. Some educators believed that eye muscles must have been poor or not trained properly. So eye movement training programs were developed and administered to elementary school children. It turns out that poor readers have these erratic movements by having slower recognition of words and difficulties in comprehension. Training elementary children to comprehend words more effectively led to smoother eye movements. Where training eye movements didn’t improve reading comprehension. Another example, research on altruism has correlated that people who do volunteer work are happier than those who do not. So is it that volunteer work creates happier people or do happier people do volunteer work?

Reverse correlations are sometimes difficult to notice. Everyone falls prey to these kinds of thinking at one time or another even the most successful scientists, business people, government officials and so on.  Critical thinking requires experience and time on task to discover additional issues. Sometimes a fresh mind is also needed, the ability to look at a problem in a different aspect. 

 

Don't get caught with shoddy supplements. Sera is the only focus boosting supplement of its kind.

Correlation and Causation Pt 2

Correlation and Causation

At the beginning of my scholarly activities, we were taught ad nauseam a simple phrase “Correlation does not mean causation”.  This simple little phrase helped me on more than one occasion and beyond just a test in a class. For example in 1975 a study in Taiwan looked at contraceptives, they collected data on a wide range of variables and the variable that most strongly related to contraceptive use was the number of electrical appliances in the home. Great, now we can start handing out microwaves to every child in school, but everyone knows that is silly. Just because there is, a strong correlation doesn’t mean that is the causation. I doubt very much that providing microwaves, toasters, fans etc. will increase the use of contraceptives. What is known is there is a relationship between the two and that is all a correlation tells anyone. Perhaps the number of appliances is reflective of socioeconomic status (SES) like education and occupation. SES is now generally accepted as a reflective measure of contraceptive use.  So while the study was looking for the highest relationship it turns out that the two strongest relationships were actually linked to a totally separate variable SES.

This example brings me to what is called the third variable problem in correlations. While there may be a strong relationship, it may be due to both of the variables being linked to a third variable. Contraceptive use and number of appliances in the house for example may have a strong correlation between the education, occupation and income levels of the house. This example is so obvious that many simply find it humorous to think about providing appliances as a way to increase contraceptive use.

Yet this happens all the time with problems that are extremely complex. Take for example global warming, not to get political, but if people place upon their heads the critical thinking caps they may find their maybe third variables involved and illusory correlations. It is possible that the earth’s orbit maybe increasing temperature, shifts in magnetic poles causing disturbances in the atmosphere are a few potential examples. It may be harder to find additional reasons for why the ozone layer is being depleted but what about certain rays and beams of gamma radiation blasts may potentially upset our environment. While these maybe less frequented views, it is still possible and I didn’t bother to dig anything on it to see if they have been disproven.

                Correlational data has always gotten the best of us, even as scientists. It is a starting point for some discoveries and the only means for scientific exploration in others. We simply cannot build two solar systems and have one with no vehicles and one with.

Minimum Effective Dosage

Simply put this is the minimum dose needed to obtain an effect. For example, maybe eating 2 carrots a day is all you need to see better in the dark. The problem with this concept is that individuals are different. It is great to ascertain your personal minimum effective dose, but sometimes this isn’t always great for mass items and information. For example, some studies are starting to reveal that the number of vitamins recommended for consumption maybe far lower than needed. We as individuals may gain better effects by taking higher doses.

 

Supplements should never be at the minimum or even average but should be on the higher end of effective dose. This is to insure that everyone is receiving the same benefits. I’m not telling you to start taking 8 multi-vitamins a day when the bottle says 1. I am saying that we need to be aware of what is effective for us, and if it doesn’t work the first time, maybe it was because it wasn’t as high as it needed to be? Some forms of vitamins, herbs and food require a minimum before it can even work while others are cumulative. Protein for example is cumulative; the affects you receive are related to the number of grams you consume per body weight. Certain pain medicines need a minimum dose. 

Sera utilizes large yet safe doses of vitamins and select minerals to boost energy, mind and spirit.

 

What everyone should know or be reminded about science pt 1

Science is somewhat funny, it can never really prove something it can only really disprove something. That in mind science is very conservative; it takes repetition after repetition and other scientists to approve of certain concepts and ideas. Even worse, it can be very hard to overturn an idea in the community even with research that is counter to it. Thats why I take Sera a mood enhancer, because Sera Supplements inc always utilizes good research practices, stay tune for future parts of this article.

Hormones and B6

An important chain of actions is the hormone system. The amino acide tryptophan needs B6 to help produce it into serotonin, a vital neurotransmitter. The body makes use of the energy and mood balancing properties with the help of B6 and other b-complexes. Sera naturally boosts tryptophan and increases serotonin levels by augmenting the level of b complexes in your body, letting your body build energy, focus and mood in a natural setting instead of providing expensive serotonin like chemicals.

Immune system, illness and Vitamin B6

The defense mechanism of the body strengthens with synthesis of antibodies and RBC’s with the help of vitamin B6. If you have a weak immune system you must ensure adequate intake of B complexes. At times individuals who suffer from ADD or attention deficit disorder, anxiety and depression, deficiency of magnesium, chronic depression, autism and schizophrenia are prescribed a treatment of which vitamin B6 is a major portion.

B6 foods you can eat

Foods like vegetables, meat, cereals, fish, sprouts, legumes and poultry increase B6 intake. Depending upon whether you are a vegetarian or a non vegetarian, you can accordingly consume food products containing B6. Mutton, eggs, pork, peanut butter, milk, chicken breast, tuna, cheese, salmon cereals, spinach, wheat bran, potato, tomato, banana, beans, walnut, avocado and soybean are very rich sources of B6 vitamin. Of course a mood boosting supplement maybe necassary if you cannot eat or afford all of these foods on a daily basis.

more B6 facts

As a way to increase energy it is necessary to consume foods and supplements that are rich in pyridoxine, B6. You need to ensure that this particular vitamin forms a part of your daily diet as B6 is a water soluble vitamin and needs to be taken daily. For adults, the general recommendation is 1.3 mg, 2.0 mg for lactating mothers, 1.9 mg for pregnant women.
