Sharing an article from Alive magazine:



Impressive eh? Can actually see the results working almost immediately. Almost. 

I'm listing this in my next groceries shopping list. Mix it with some celery and berries. Hopefully will help The Husband's BP.

Having high BP is no fun.
Please make some effort if your loved ones has high BP. No harm trying natural ways.

Shaklee B-Complex

Shaklee Says:
B-Complex provides all eight essential B vitamins necessary for converting the food we eat into energy. B vitamins are essential in the synthesis of DNA and new cells. 

The B vitamins (folic acid, B6, and B12) promote a healthy cardiovascular system by helping to lower homocysteine levels in the blood.*

Feature:

You Need All Eight Bs
There are eight essential B vitamins, and they work best when they work together. Unfortunately, the typical Western diet doesn’t provide enough whole grains, leafy green vegetables, and fish needed to provide 100% of the Daily Value. Shaklee B-Complex provides all the B vitamins you may not be getting in your diet. The eight B vitamins, including biotin, work to:

• Promote healthy cardiovascular systems
• Help metabolize energy from carbohydrates, fat, and protein
• Aid in the synthesis of DNA and new cells

What prompted me to take this supplements was I was suffering from fatigue some time back. Constantly felt tired, and my hair was thinning quite an amount.

Not much of improvement even with more sleep / rest. So I decided to give this a try.

The pills are yellow in colour and upon opening the bottle, I can smell something very clinical and strong. Not exactly pleasing to me..

Easy to swallow, and the smell lingers for a while (and when I burp too).
Taking B-Complex will make your urine yellow, so be prepared.

My energy levels did increase after taking this. I get less tired during the day. This is not to be taken at night as it would cause insomnia ;)

I don't take this everyday as I didn't like the smell. So on alternate days only.

The Husband is a firm believer that taking protein drink contributes to his flawless skin. And has introduced this to me since we first met. I was, however a little skeptical. Aren't protein drinks meant for body builders? Heheh..

Anyway, no harm trying... and I've gone through tubs of this.
I take this in the morning with just plain water (one documentary says it is not advisable to take protein at night). Its a little sweet as it is,  so there is no need to add honey, milk what so ever.

My skin does look better, and generally I feel good. Less likely to get hunger pangs too. Else I'd be gobbling junks all the time.

I'm not sure if I'll keep taking this - at times after drinking this I get a lil dizzy. And I have no idea why.

I have since found another protein drink that doesn't make me dizzy.. but at times I'll alternate between these two (this is more expensive - I forgot how much as The Husband usually get this from his relative). A few brownie points for being non-GMO.
