Why an Adequate Vitamin Intake is Critical for Good Health

Performing many roles to maintain good health and development, vitamins are essential nutrients that we can’t live without. Yet so many vitamins perform wonders that we’re not even aware of. That is… until we don’t get enough and a health problem surfaces. Vitamins are characterized by the following: They’re found naturally in food, in varying amounts. They can’t be made by the body (save for vitamin D after sun exposure). They are organic in their structure and can be broken down by air, heat or acid, making it more difficult for your body to absorb them since storage, cooking, and even exposure to air affects their chemical structure. They’re crucial for normal and healthy cellular development and function. Health-destroying deficiencies occur when your vitamin intake is too low. There are 13 essential vitamins which are divided into 2 categories: Water Soluble & Fat Soluble Water-soluble vitamins: Biotin (vitamin B7) Folic acid (folate, vitamin B9) Niacin (vitamin B3) Pantotheni...

Are Expensive Vitamins Really Worth It?

Do you always go for the cheapest vitamin?  Do you ever look at the vitamin bottle and wonder if what is on the label is really in there?  Do you think it’s worth a few extra bucks when buying supplements to pick ones that are tested?  Well, duh, right? I mean, we all want quality vitamins, ones that work, but we also don’t want to waste our money. So, is there really a difference between expensive and cheap vitamins? Are expensive vitamins really worth it? One of the biggest mistakes people make in their desire to supplement their diet is taking inexpensive vitamins. Buy 1 get 1 deals or supplements at your grocery and pharmacy, or products you can buy through the mail are rarely, if ever, worth taking. Why is that? The reality is, that high quality raw materials are expensive. This includes the research it takes to ensure they are high quality, are free of contaminants and that the ingredients in the products do what they're intended to do.  A company could actuall...

What Makes Leucine Special?

Leucine is one of three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) along with isoleucine and valine. Your muscles are in a continuous state of breakdown and repair called “protein turnover.” Out of the three BCAAs, leucine plays a unique role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis, a process in which protein is produced to repair muscle damage and prevent protein breakdown. Muscle repair is necessary for physical activity because exercise causes muscle protein breakdown. And muscle protein stimulus and breakdown determine whether or not muscle is built or lost, which makes leucine an important BCAA for maintaining lean body mass, or the mass of the body minus fat. So guys...and gals, it's important you are getting enough leucine in your diet, especially if you are working out and trying to build muscle. Aren't we all? Would you like to learn more about leucine and which of our products contain it? Contact us today or visit our website - https://pws.shaklee.com/tobehealthy/ Click o...
