How Can I Tell if My Supplement is Working?

The average adult requires 13 essential vitamins and 15 essential minerals for their body to gain all the benefits it needs to function properly. Most people who suffer from autoimmune diseases, i.e., diabetes, fibromyalgia, etc., often suffer from mild to extreme deficiencies in these essential vitamins and minerals. Therefore, they must get them from the foods they eat and from dietary supplements like NeuropAWAY®.

Essential vitamins and minerals play many vital roles in your health. They set off chemical reactions in your body that drives cell and tissue growth, and they are involved in every bodily function literally from your head to your toes—from your brain, heart, bones and muscles to everything in between. NeuropAWAY® was specifically formulated to support nerve health.

A deficiency in any of these essential vitamins and minerals can lead to a variety of health problems, including depression, anemia and a weakened immune system which could leave you susceptible to all kinds of illnesses. Sometimes the problem isn’t that you’re not getting enough essential nutrients, but that your body is not absorbing them properly. This can happen for a number of different reasons such as obesity or not getting enough of certain vitamins or minerals that aid in the absorption of other vitamins. For instance, vitamin C helps you absorb iron more efficiently, so it’s always best to combine iron-rich and vitamin C-rich foods in your meals. Also, certain medications can cause a deficiency in some vitamins and minerals. For example, Metformin has been linked to vitamin B-12 deficiency which causes neuropathy.

NeuropAWAY®’s key ingredients work synergistically to boost the bioavailability of the essential vitamins and minerals that support healthy nerves.

So, the question remains, “How can you tell if your supplements are working?” Unfortunately, there isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” answer to this question because everyone’s biochemistry is different. Plus, many other factors come into play when it comes to a person’s health and nutrition. Such factors as age, weight, medical history, physical fitness, metabolism, dietary habits, medications being taken, hormonal balance, etc., all affect how each person’s body absorbs, stores and utilizes nutrients.

However, if you are suffering from neuropathy, or are experiencing any of the tell-tale signs such as a tingling feeling or numbness in your hands and/or feet and possibly other parts of your body, this could indicate that you aren’t getting the proper nutrition and benefits of vitamins you need. So, add plenty of vitamin B-rich foods to your diet including spinach, asparagus, beets, pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, lima beans, eggs, clams, oysters, and poultry.

Neuropathy and Cold Weather

Neuropathy and Cold Weather

Bill Cross

Cold weather presents special challenges for those with health concerns such as neuropathy. In fact, myriad studies have shown that death rates peak this time of year. Blood pressure increases during the winter, and, by some reckonings, 70% of the wintertime increase in the death rate can be traced back to heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular causes of death.

Prolonged exposure to the cold causes the body to slow blood circulation to the hands and feet in an effort to preserve the body’s core temperature. The reduced blood flow can intensify neuropathy symptoms and potentially cause further damage to already affected peripheral nerves. This is of special concern to those who experience their neuropathy pain as a numbness or tingling sensation. Their ability to measure the effects of the cold is compromised since they already experience those physical warning signals that would otherwise indicate a need to get to warmer conditions. NeuropAWAY® is a patent pending formula that combines Taurine with other key ingredients to improve blood supply to damaged and needy nerves. This increased blood flow helps to increase conduction velocity and eliminate mixed signals (Neuropathic Pain). NeuropAWAY® is the only supplement that contains this patent pending formula!

As the cold weather sits in, there are a few changes in your routine that can help prevent further nerve damage to already affected peripheral nerves. Be sure to wear warm, dry clothing, protect your hands and feet, and don’t stay out in the cold too long. Also, limit things that can cause your blood vessels to narrow, such as caffeine, alcohol, and smoking. Try to make exercise a daily routine to improve circulation and try to get a good massage as often as possible.
