Bacteria aren’t usually thought of as helpful or beneficial to your health. Medical professionals and marketers in the health and food industry have started to change this way of thinking due to findings that some bacteria can improve your health and bodily function. This positive bacteria is called probiotics – it literally means “for life.”

The body’s intestinal tract contains ten times the number of bacteria than cells in your body. Most of these bacteria are not harmful to you, but some of them are. This is where probiotics come in. One of the most popular uses of probiotics is to prevent and treat gastrointestinal problems. Diarrhea, bloating and constipation can all arise from an overgrowth of bad bacteria in your digestive tract. This can happen after the use of anti biotics, which strip your digestive tract of both good and bad bacteria. Some women use a probiotic to prevent urinary and vaginal infections and some people swear by taking a probiotic supplement to prevent traveler’s diarrhea.

Some studies have shown that probiotics help to boost immune function as well as attack cancerous cells and reduce cancer-promoting enzymes. How do you get probiotics into your diet? Look for certain foods from the dairy group that is labeled with “Live Active Cultures.” Some experts feel that consuming these cultures from a food source is more beneficial to your stomach. Supplements on the other hand, contain higher concentrations of bacterial counts, which will give you faster relief of symptoms.

Use a probiotic for at least two weeks and make sure your doctor knows you’ve been taking them. If you tend to have re-occurring stomach problems, think about taking probiotic on a regular preventative basis.

Think you are just too tired to work out? Do you experience persistent fatigue? Think if you actually get up and do something it will just sap the small amount of energy you have left? Well think again people.

Countless studies have proven that even 10 minutes a day of low intensity workout can boost your energy levels by as much as 20%. And, more moderately intense workouts decreased fatigue by as much as 65%! If this weren’t enough reason to get up and get moving, exercise has also shown to help improve your psyche. So not only are you improving your body, you are also taking steps toward a healthier mind.

So get up and do something! You will only feel better. And if you need help getting started, check out the I-supplements wide array of energy boosters and fat burners. They’ll get you going and help you achieve amazing results whether your goal is weight loss, toning up or just feeling less tired!

My work week is hectic to say the least. Add three kids under five and you have a frazzled mess. Being a guru of supplements, I looked inward for some answers. I wanted to be more focused and productive at work AND haver the mental energy for my kids so i can play and spend time as a “fresh” dad at the end of a day. I was feeling run down and forced in to “acting” like everything was ok. Totally overwhelmed and where to attack the challenges of my day to day life.

I began a self prescribe stack of NeuroMax II by MRM and a Sci-Fit Gaba. I took the NeuroMax II at lunch everyday and the GABA at bedtime.

The GABA I felt the first time, very tinglely, definitely eased me to sleeps quickly and I was able to sleep very sound. My wife said one night I feel asleep talking - right in the middle of a sentence. The focus pills seemed to be making a difference as well. I felt I was getting more energy and sharpening up a bit. Being an expert - I knew “this could be placebo feelings”. Then it happened - unexplicable proof that they work! I Beat My High Score at Pac-Man. Now if you do not remember PAC-MAN - Skip to the summary.

I sit in the bathtub, i have this great over sized tub, and watch sports, news and sometimes play the old original arcade games. I do this a couple days a week. Now, this has been for a couple years. So on pacman I have been maxed out. I keep getting to the 4th or 5th “key” - high score 116,000 point or so. I have been hopelessly stuck (or maybe beat it by a few hundred points or so) for 6 months or longer. Going to bed every night with those little bastard ghost having beat me. Damn that blinky.

So after taking my mental focus stack for about 3 weeks i began the game of the YEAR. I reached the 8th key and scored more than 155,000. I was insane. In a world of 700 billion dollar bailouts, it does not sound like much - nor does pacman compare to today’s Halo - but this was freakin’ BIG.

As silly as I sounds it really does confirm the effectiveness of this genre of products for me.

Summary: It really works. The combination of the two products was great - try it - it works.

With the winter months quickly approaching, it’s important to keep your hair and skin moisturized and conditioned. Often people skip over conditioning their hair and giving it special attention. Unless you have really oily or baby fine hair, you should give your hair a deep conditioning treatment once per month.

According to Allure magazine, use a formula “that penetrates the hair’s core and strengthens it from the inside.” If you chemically process your hair and or blow-dry it, you are a good candidate for deep conditioning. If you want to use something homemade, try mashed avocado or olive oil and apply the formula to dry hair or you can buy deep conditioning products at I-supplements.com. Use your fingers or a brush to stimulate the scalp and distribute the product. Wrap your head in a warm towel and leave it on for about 20 minutes. Make sure you wash it out thoroughly and let your hair air dry so the conditioner can continue to penetrate to your hair shaft.

The future health of your bones is completely determined by the life you led as a child. Given though that your childhood diet and activity levels will have an affect on your future bone health, recent research reveals that your adult lifestyle may have the greatest influence on the overall health of your bones. Be good to your bones by exercising regularly and getting enough bone-loving nutrients, like calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin C. The lack of these nutrients are one of the factors that can affect bone mineral density (BMD) in adults, as well as lack of protein, smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise habits, pregnancies, and certain medications such as hormone replacement therapies. Love your bones!

Gamma-Aminobutryic Acid or GABA is a powerful amino acid that was first discovered in 1883 in Berlin Germany. It is actually classified as a neurotransmitter, which means it helps nerve impulses cross the synapses (gaps) and communicate better. GABA has a many positive benefits for your nervous system.

GABA also has some surprising effects when it comes to promoting fat loss. GABA stimulates the production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). It is HGH that has been found in studies to facilitate the metabolism of fats in the body. HGH is also known for it’s powerful muscle-building effects, which is a plus.
Increasing HGH is definitely a good thing, especially for bodybuilders or anyone over 30. HGH tends to decrease naturally with age, so the older you get, the harder it is to lose fat. That’s one reason GABA has become so popular with people when they start to age.

Clinical studies have shown that GABA increases the body’s sleeping cycle and people report more vivid dreams than usual. Getting a good night’s sleep and obtaining more rest can lead to more energy throughout the day. Not to mention, increasing fat loss and promoting muscle growth also leads to an increase in energy. More energy and feelings of vigor are common side effects of GABA supplementation!

Last but not least, GABA has been shown to be very effective in treating pain associated with arthritis or pain in the lower back. Most scientific research indicates that the proper amounts of GABA to take per day are a minimum of 2 grams. Better results have been found when supplementing with 5 grams per day. For serious results, studies have found that supplementing between 5 and 18 grams works well. If GABA is being taken for fat loss, it’s best to take it about 2 hours before going to bed, since that is when production of HGH is the best. For pain support, GABA can be taken anytime and be effective.

White Willow Bark has been used as a medicinal herb for thousands of years, and has chemical properties that are being tested for their immune boosting, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pain reducing capabilities. It is widely known as the aspirin herb, because it contains salicin, an aspirin like chemical.

The use of willow bark for the treatment of pain and inflammation has been traced back to 400 BC, and it is sold today as a natural herbal remedy for headache, lower back pain, fever, and arthritis. It is also sometimes recommended for flu, bursitis, and menstrual cramps. Although it shares many characteristics in common with aspirin and has many of aspirin’s side effects, it may have advantages over aspirin in that its effects may be more long lasting.
White willow is commonly known as European willow, a deciduous tree found in North America, Asia, and Europe.

How do you Take White Willow Bark?
Willow bark is available in capsule form, and loose for infusions in tea. For a medicinal tea, boil one to two teaspoons of bark in eight ounces of water and let steep for ten minutes.

When You Shouldn’t Take White Willow Bark
White willow bark is not recommended if you are under 16, pregnant, or nursing. Any change in medication should be discussed with your physician.

White Willow Bark and Your Pets
Although aspirin and white willow bark are poisonous to your cat, there are instances where white willow bark has been used successfully as a pain treatment for dogs.

As with any medication, consult your veterinarian before attempting to diagnose or treat your dog.
Note:Common Poisons to Your Pets

While we are talking about pets, please remember that any aspirin-like substance can kill your cat, and chocolate and onions are toxic to your dog. Please be careful, so your pets can be members of your family for many years to come.
