THE EFFECTIVENESS OF YOUR SUPPLEMENTS

We’re often told that foods today are lacking in nutrients: intensive, commercial farming has depleted the soil and contaminated our produce with pesticides, fungicides, and chemical fertilisers.

Eating organic does help, but even here, there are concerns our food just isn’t as nutritious as it used to be.  Hence, the massive growth in dietary supplements. 

But are they doing you any good?

The answer is simple: only if they’re absorbed by your body.  Interestingly enough, not all supplements are.  Here’s a simple way to check this out:

1.     Warm some vinegar to blood heat (98.6°F or 37.1°C).  You don’t need to be too accurate here.  The warm vinegar simulates the acid conditions in your stomach. 

2.     Drop your supplements into the warm vinegar and give them a stir.

3.     Check them again after 30 minutes. 

If they’ve dissolved, then you know your body can assimilate them.  If not, they’ll pass right through – they’re expensive waste.   

The best supplements I’ve found are in a ‘food state’ – natural and readily absorbable by the body. 

Have a play.  And let me know whether your supplements really are doing you any good, or just passing through….

Great advice!

For years I spent a small fortune on supplements of all brands just to find out that they were going straight through me!

I have finally found supplements that are absorbed by the body in a food state plus my pure Aloe Vera Gel drink (which aids absorption) and the problem has been solved. The difference is amazing!

Mahatma Gandhi drank Aloe Vera every day and said:-

“You ask me what were that secret forces that sustained me during my long fasts. Well, it was my unshakable faith in God, my simple and frugal lifestyle, and the Aloe whose benefits I discovered upon my arrival in South Africa…”

I have wondered about the benefits of drinking aloe vera--but have only used it for kitchen burns and sunburn.

How/where do we find the drinkable forms? (and what does it taste like?)

Benefits are huge for gut, digestion, skin (working from the inside out) immune system, a useful source of minerals and vitamins and general good health and wellbeing. The list goes on…… The Aloe I use is the only LIVE Aloe on the market and the market leader in Aloe and they use a patented stabilisation process to ensure this making it the next best thing to off the leaf. To be honest the taste of the pure Aloe isn't great but you do really get used to it and of course you can mix it with juice. I actually take one that is mixed with berries so improves the taste but this is quite sweet. If you would like further info on Aloe Vera or to know where to get the best on the market message me at sj333@me.com. The company offers a 60 day money back guarantee so you really have nothing to loose! :-)
