Menopause Relief In As Little As 1 Week

Hot flashes + being a surgical tech + working in summer-induced humidity in the OR = THANK GOD these pills work!!! I don’t even take the recommended 2 pills per day(1 pill each day) and have had terrific results from this product.
Diane M.

Nearly eliminated my hot flashes and night sweats all together. I’m sleeping better and feel great! Worth every penny!!
Tess G.

Without my daily dose of Phytogen, I would have 6-8 hot flashes a day. The dripping, debilitating kind. Now if I have one or two, it’s just a quick flush and they’re gone. I know they are working because when I went on vacation and forgot them, they came back.
Linda M.

Q: I’m tired of dealing with all the symptoms of menopause: hot flashes, mood swings, and little to no sleep. What’s the best safe, natural solution?

 

A: Menopause symptoms are difficult to address because they can vary in kind and severity. Women would often have to try several products before they found one that worked best. However, over the last couple of years a product called PM PhytoGen has become wildly popular and garnered incredible testimonials!

PM PhytoGen utilizes Thai Kudzu which contains the unique phytoestrogen Miroestrol that is remarkably similar to human estrogen. Because it is almost bio-identical to estrogen, it is 30 times more powerful than traditional products like soy and black cohosh.

Our customers tell us that PM PhytoGen gives them relief in as little as 4 days, although it’s best to give the product at least 30 days to ensure optimal results.

 

Summer and warmer weather is nearly upon us which can make hot flashes even worse. Try PM PhytoGen to harness your hormones and feel more comfortable!

What Makes A Good Health Food Store

What Makes A Good Health Food Store

Graves Mill Shopping CenterPeople all over the world are turning to a more healthy way of living. Even in these dark days when a virus is sweeping the world and it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that this too shall pass people are looking at their lifestyles and wondering if they can do a little better, be a little more healthy and enjoy a better quality of life. For many, the time that they have spent in lockdown has made them a little introspective – and they have recommitted themselves to health. Once they are allowed to visit retail outlets again many will head to a health food store to stock up on healthy food, nutritional supplements, natural whole foods, and macrobiotic products.

Lynchburg Health Food Store

A great health food store will stock a variety of products to allow you to embrace a healthier approach to living – but as important as those products are what else should you be looking for when selecting a health food store that will meet all your requirements?

The first is a source of advice. the person behind the counter or any employee at a health store should be able to guide you in your choice of products that will enhance your life based on your unique requirements, for instance, which foods and supplements would best suit you if you have special dietary requirements or on medication which requires extra care when selecting healthy foods and supplements. They should be knowledgeable about where those products are sourced from so that you can avoid those produced using pesticides and be assured that what you will be putting in your body is organic and healthy. They should also be able to point out products that are alternatives to made medicines.

health food store lynchburg vaThe best advice will inevitably come from those who are committed to a healthier lifestyle themselves and have experience in using many of the products that line the shelves of the health store. If you can find a health store owner or employee that has a qualification in nutrition or dietary science you will have access to an invaluable resource.

It’s important to find the right health store and then remain committed to that store in the long term. Building a relationship with the advisors at the store is important – a good rapport will also allow you to request certain products that they might not have in stock. However, when selecting a store there are certain categories of goods that they should always have on their shelves – keep a lookout for these before you make your final decision.

Produce such as dried fruit and nuts, essential oils, snack bars, grains and pulses, and beauty and wellbeing products such as natural shampoos (without additives and body washes and soaps that contain no artificial additives are all going to contribute to a healthier lifestyle. A healthy snack is also essential. Diary-free alternatives to milk are also a part of a healthier lifestyle.

Vitamin D & COVID-19

Senior Airman Michael Cossaboom, 20th Fighter Wing Public Affairs photojournalist, pretends to eat the sun during a sunrise in Asheville N.C., April 18, 2016. Finding ways to enjoy the workday keeps morale high for Airmen and their counterparts.

Back in March, former CDC director Tom Frieden, MD, published an opinion piece stating that taking Vitamin D supplements could help boost the immune system and protect against respiratory infection. It appears he was really on to something because now researchers all over the world are urging their governments to issue guidance on vitamid D supplementation to combat COVID-19. https://scitechdaily.com/vitamin-d-determines-severity-in-covid-19-researchers-urge-government-to-change-advice/

Why is Vitamin D so important right now?

Higher COVID-19 mortality rates among older people and those with chronic conditions suggest that a weakened immune system contributes to poor outcomes. Science supports the possibility that Vitamin D may strengthen the immune system, particularly of people whose Vitamin D levels are low.

Immune benefits of Vitamin D supplementation:

  • reduces the risk of respiratory infection
  • regulates cytokine production
  • can limit the risk of other viruses such as influenza

A respiratory infection can result in cytokine storms – a vicious cycle in which our inflammatory cells damage organs throughout the body – which increase mortality for those with COVID-19. Adequate Vitamin D may potentially provide some modest protection for vulnerable populations.

How much Vitamin D should I take?

The FDA recommendation of 400 IU daily is based on the fact that one teaspoon (5 ml) of most cod liver oils contains 400 IU of Vitamin D. What’s the significance of a teaspoon? That was the amount of cod liver oil that was shown to prevent rickets in children in northern latitude countries including Norway, Finland, and Sweden. “A teaspoon a day keeps the rickets away” was the saying. At the time it was believed that rickets was the only disease associated with vitamin D deficiency and therefore the recommendation of 400 IU was adopted. We now know that vitamin D deficiency is associated with more morbidities than just rickets.

Vitamin D deficiency can lead to:

Research suggests there is little risk associated with taking around 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily, but some people may do best with a higher or lower amount depending on their health status. These studies indicate that up to 10,000 IU per day typically causes no adverse reactions.

Our Nutrition Store For Natural Health Supplements

health food store lynchburg vaWhile a nutrient-dense diet is still the best way to get essential vitamins and minerals, nutritional supplements are intended to provide your body with essential nutrients that may be lacking in your diet. Nutritional supplements like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, and other substances can help boost the immune system and support a healthy body. At our Nature’s Outlet, we take pride in sourcing and offering our consumers the highest quality nutritional supplement products across a wide range of categories to take care of their specific needs.

The main purpose of our company is to research countless options in order to find the most effective and best quality products on the market on behalf of our customers. It can be overwhelming to try and find the right products when faced with towering shelves of vitamin and mineral supplements in health stores. So many options sound great, but there are just as many questions. For example, exactly how effective are they?; which are the best?; and are they worth the money you pay for them? These are all perfectly valid questions to ask for anybody who wishes to live a healthy life and avoid disease. That is why our dedicated staff members at our nutrition store always welcome the opportunity to listen to our customers and learn about their unique health issues in order to help them find the best natural and safe option for their specific health needs.

Nutritional supplements can be beneficial to health, but the key is to always take them in conjunction with a well-balanced diet and in consultation with your healthcare practitioner. Most nutritionists will recommend a nutritional supplement if the nutrient needs of their clients are not being met by a healthy diet. A multivitamin supplement generally provides 100% of DRA (daily recommended allowance) of all vitamins and minerals.

Choosing good nutritional supplements should always be a well-informed decision instead of blindly following the advice of people who swear by all kinds of weird and wonderful ingredients. Although some people may see supplements as magic bullets, they cannot counteract a poor diet. However, reliable evidence suggests that if supplements are used to replace a deficiency, beneficial outcomes can be expected.

Some of the main stages of life and specific instances where people genuinely need to supplement their diets because a food-alone diet simple will not meet their nutrient needs, and supplementation is required as an integral part of wellbeing, include:

• During pregnancy and women who are trying to conceive. Folate, for example, has been shown to help reduce the risk of neural tube defects.
• Elderly people who eat less or absorb fewer nutrients from their food intake.
• Individuals on a strict vegetarian or vegan diet that may lack iron and vitamin B12 almost exclusively found in animal sources.
• People with allergies or lactose intolerance.
• Individuals with a lack of Vitamin D e.g. S.A.D., the elderly or bed-bound due to a lack of sunlight.
• Supplementation to correct nutrient deficiencies in individuals suffering from conditions such as Crohn’s disease, coeliac disease, and cystic fibrosis.
• Probiotics to restore gut health after a course of antibiotics.
• Individuals with specific hormonal imbalances e.g. PCOS.

You may also need nutritional supplements if you are fatigued, while traveling, on a severely restricted diet or have limited food choices available. It is important to understand that you may have specific nutritional requirements at different stages of your life and it is important to choose the right supplements that target those needs.

Acid Reflux Relief With The HCL Protocol

One of our favorite health educators, Bruce Topping, is an expert on nutritional solutions for digestive health. He taught us that acid reflux (heartburn) is a lot more common than people think, and told us about a powerful solution called Betaine Hydrochloride aka HCL.

Betaine hydrochloride has an interesting history. It used to be included in over-the-counter (OTC) products as a “stomach acidifier and digestive aid.” But a federal law that went into effect in 1993 banned betaine hydrochloride from use in OTC products because there wasn’t enough evidence to classify it “generally recognized as safe and effective.” Betaine hydrochloride is now available only as a dietary supplement whose purity and strength can vary. Read on to learn about the common myth about stomach acid in relation to acid reflux and how HCL can help solve your heartburn dilemma.

Bruce was kind enough to find this article for us, perfectly articulating the protocol of using HCL and how it can help to rebuild your gut.

Here are some important excerpts from this article:

How to Figure Out Your Betaine HCL Dose

  • Each person will have a specific supplementary HCL dosage. Unfortunately, there isn’t a special formula I can give you to figure it out. This is a case of trial and error until you get to the correct dosage. Failing to get to your correct dosage can remove the benefits of supplementing.
  • You must find the right dosage for you situation. If you fail to do the trial and error you’re wasting your time and money.
  • The stomach is purposely built to handle extreme acid environments. If your correct dosage is 2400 mg and you’re only taking 1200 mg, you’re not really doing your stomach any favors. You must follow the process below to figure out the right dosage to get the maximum benefit.
  1. Eat a meal that contains at least 15-20 grams of protein (about 4-6 ounces of meat.)
  2. Start by taking 1 pill (650 mg or less) of Betaine HCL during the beginning of the meal.
  3. Finish the meal as normal and observe your body for any changes in feeling associated with the stomach and belly button area. Things to look for: heaviness, hotness, burning, or other GI distress.
  4. Stay at this dosage of 1 pill for another day of meals with protein and if you don’t notice anything on the 3rd day, try 2 pills.
  5. Stay there for another day and then try 3 pills.
  6. Keep increasing the number of pills taken with each meal until you notice some GI discomfort described in step #3.
  7. When this happens, you will know your ideal Betaine HCL dosage is 1 pill less. For example, if you felt the discomfort going from 5 pills to 6 pills, then 5 pills is your proper dosage for a normal meal.

A Couple Points to Clarify:

  • If you eat a snack or a meal without much protein, you won’t need as much Betaine HCL (for a small snack like a piece of fruit you won’t need any at all)
  • When you experience the GI discomfort finding your correct dosage, you can mix ½ teaspoon of baking soda in 8 oz of water and drink it to help lessen the pain.
  • Dr. Wright notes in his book that “paradoxically adverse symptoms are most likely to occur in individuals with the lowest levels of stomach acid. This is because these people are most likely to have atrophic gastritis (a thinned-out stomach lining,) which makes them much more sensitive to even small quantities of HCL than a normal, thicker stomach lining.” This makes sense because a super inflamed stomach lining won’t have its normal protective barrier intact to contain the strong acids. In this case, it is wise to start with digestive bitters or get smaller dose Betaine HCL pills (think 350 mg or less.)
  • If you have low stomach acid and you can’t supplement with Betaine HCL, there’s a few natural methods to help with symptoms. Start by taking a shot of lemon juice or vinegar before a meal to help the symptoms of indigestion. But know that these don’t actually help the digestion of food only the symptoms.
  • A supplement that can help the digestion is digestive bitters which support the production of hydrochloric acid, pancreatic enzymes and bile to promote healthy bowel function. Digestive bitters can also help keep the valve at the bottom of our throats closed tight, keeping our stomach acid confined to where it’s supposed to be.

I Need to Take How Many Betaine HCL Pills?

“It’s very common for people to stop short of their needed Betaine HCL dosage. In fact, in the beginning I was nervous about taking 6 pills at a meal. But trust me, there is nothing to worry about.”

Dr. Wright reports that the common Betaine HCL dosage range in his clinical practice is 3,250-4,550 mg per meal. That means there are also plenty of people who need above 5,000 mg for an effective dosage.

In summation:

  • Remember, a normal functioning stomach is capable of producing and handling extreme acid ranges.
  • If your dosage starts getting extremely high without any GI distress (step #3,) you must use your GI symptoms as a guide instead. These include burping, bloating, flatulence, and stool consistency.
  • Keep everything else the same in your diet as you wait for these indicators to change for the better.
  • Just because you can take 20 pills, doesn’t mean you should. It could be that at 11 pills all of your problems disappear. Try to find the minimum dose needed to help your GI symptoms.

Ultimate Guide to Magnesium

It’s estimated that nearly 80% of the population is deficient in a mineral that has far-reaching health benefits. This mineral is magnesium and it’s essential to your health. In fact, it’s involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions in your body including:

 

  • Energy creation: Helps convert food into energy.
  • Protein formation: Helps create new proteins from amino acids.
  • Gene maintenance: Helps create and repair DNA and RNA.
  • Muscle movements: Is part of the contraction and relaxation of muscles.
  • Nervous system regulation: Helps regulate neurotransmitters, which send messages throughout your brain and nervous system.

Magnesium does a lot for us, and it’s vital that we get enough on a daily basis.

If you’re not eating magnesium rich foods such as…

  • Almonds
  • Cashews
  • Spinach
  • Dark chocolate
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Quinoa
  • Avocado

…then a supplement could be extremely helpful, especially if you have any symptoms of magnesium defiency such as:

  • Fatigue/Low energy
  • Muscle aches and cramps
  • Heart/Blood Pressure issues
  • Restless legs
  • Trouble Sleeping

Check out this rundown on several forms of magnesium, which form is right for you, and when to take them!

Magnesium Glycinate– the most bioavailable form of magnesium, the bounded glycine helps with sleep and mood, least likely form to cause loose stools or have a laxative effect. Best taken in the evening.

Magnesium Malate– important for people who need energy or suffer from chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. Magnesium along with the bound malic acid increases ATP levels (cellular energy.) Best taken with meals during the day.

Magnesium Taurate– the form to take for people with cardiovascular issues, the bound taurine improves heart function. Best taken at night.

Magnesium Citrate– effective for maintaining digestive regularity, can cause loose stools in some individuals and has a decent absorption rate. Best taken with food because the bound citric acid can elevate stomach pH.

Magnesium Threonate– potential to cross blood-brain barrier and greatly increase magnesium concentrations in the brain and central nervous system for increased cognitive function. Best taken at bedtime.

Magnesium Oxide– good laxative properties, but very poorly absorbed. Out of 400 mg, the body under ideal circumstances absorbs only 80 mg of elemental magnesium.

I suffer from vaginal dryness, is there anything I can do nutritionally to address the problem?

Vaginal dryness is an issue that no one wants to talk about, but it can affect women of any age and is present in half of women during or after menopause. The good news is that there is a solution to the problem that works remarkably well. Omega-7, a beneficial fatty acid derived from Sea Buckthorn oil, is nature’s moisturizer, both internally and externally. Omega-7 provides mucous membrane hydration, helping to alleviate everything from:

  • dry eyes
  • dry mouth
  • dry skin
  • vaginal dryness
  • digestive problems

Better yet, Omega-7’s health benefits extend to maintaining proper heart function, healthy cholesterol balance, and insulin sensitivity. I recommend Terry Naturally Omega-7 because it contains the clinically proven SBA24®. Users reported an amazing 97% satisfaction rate after a month of continuous use and some after a few short days which means you can feel comfortable again in no time!
