Why you should like the wolves as much as I do

Ever since I can remember, I have been an animal lover. All kinds of animals it does not matter. As I grew older, I found the one animal that kept my attention above others and that was the gray wolf. Wolves are such a majestic animal their beauty and intelligence pulls me to them. When you watch a wolf move across the ground with a confidence like no other it astounds me. How they interact with each other, how they care for their young. The communication is a marvel to say the least. Sitting and just listening to their howls how profound it is.

However, as much as I love the wolf I do not believe they should be pets. I believe they should live out their lives as God intended them to be wild and free. I believe they are the keepers of the forest!

Energy Vitamin's drug interactions notice

While I would love to see everyone taking a series of vitamins and minerals that help reduce fatigue, increase abstract thought and boost focus. I can't always say that. If you are taking medication especially seek advice from your health provider. The following are just a few interactions drugs have with vitamin b12. 

 

Chloramphenicol- limited evidence that it may interfere with red blood cell response to supplemental vitamin b12

Proton pump inhibitors- (omeprazole, lansoprazole) used to treat acid reflux. These drugs can interfere with b12's absorption from food. If you are taking this medication long term you need to talk to your doctor about the possibility of monitoring B12s

 

H2 receptor antagonists- cimetidine, famotidinand ranitidine treat peptic ulcer disease. These drugs also interfere with absorption of vitamin b12. If you've used this for a year plus start talking to your doctor about b12 levels. 

Metformin- used to treat diabetes and may reduce b12 absorption. While not all researchers agree metformin is the culprit if you are on this medication it maybe best to look at your b12 absorption levels. 

 

You can thank The office of dietary supplements for providing a coherent list of some known drugs that interfere with b12.

An easy way to increase focus and energy

You know supplements are great, but I want everyone to first try this one tactic for increasing energy and focus. No its not buying Sera...though that will help, its doing exercise. I'm sure you've all heard it before. Read it a hundred times on the top 5 this, or 3 best ways this and so on.

But simply put don't try. Make time. Schedule it. Write it in your scheduler, outlook or message yourself to actually do some exercise. It doesn't have to be much, you can go for a 20 minute walk. No need to stress excessively about it but when you are stressed, tired or lethargic go for a walk. It helps trust me, science and my own personal experiences have shown me the light. 

20 minutes once, twice or three times a week goes a long way. Think about that the next time you run for your coffee.

Health and Vitamins

Being a supplement comany you would think we would politely ignore articles like these or beat them down. Well, we aren't thugs, and the article isn't the best for information for example, it lacks citations and by researchers they mean a few doctors. You can find a doctor with any kind of view point really.  

However, the important things to take away from the new york times article is simply this. Its always better to consume vegetables, fruits and a source of protein for your body. Doctors and nutritionists are not always in agreeance with what is a healthy level of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. (most doctors have one nutrition class if that) 

However, stable and quality products have better impacts than cheaper vitamins. Many of these studies do not take into consideration the quality of the vitamins. For example it would be like saying the average car breaks down at x miles. However, perhaps buying a high quality car means that you do not break down at x miles. Researchers, doctors and nutritionists need to be far more specific in their studies as they generalize all manufacturing types to be equal which is not the case, nor are people. 

However the take away stands strong, eat vegetables and fruits, get daily exercise. However, I feel that vitamins are just fine but you'll find people on every side of the aisle. Its perfectly fine, but I take Sera daily for its mental boosting, increase of abstract thought and its energy enhancing properties- I walk the walk so to speak.
