About a month ago, I started taking a supplement called Vitality by Pharmanex. It has been incredible. It’s given me energy as well as the focus to use the energy. The Vitality supplement contains Cordyceps Cs-4 Mushroom Mycelia, which has been proven to increase the mitochondria in the cells and provide a huge boost in energy. It also contains Pomegranate fruit extract which is a strong anti-oxidant, and Asian Ginseng Root Extract, an adaptogen. I will link to the related science studies on the supplements page later this week.
I am so impressed by the Pharmanex brand that I have also started taking their Cartilage Formula, which is Glucosamine, to support my rotten ankles. Glucosamine has been widely studied. In several double blind studies it has been shown to reduce joint pain, slow joint space narrowing, and help the joint to retain water molecules and resist compressive forces.
Finally I am also taking Pharmanex Cortitrol. This is a herbal supplement to aid in the metabolism of cortisol - the stress hormone. Cortisol is often a cause of fatty deposits around the middle i.e. the spare tire.
I will report on the effectiveness of these supplements over the coming weeks and months.
