If it says it has science backed products, how do you check?

New Health Tips for the Consumer

So what is science? If you pick up a highly recommended vitamin, supplement from your health store, nutraceutical company, etc. how do you know what's in there? Does it work? How does it affect my body? If you are at a retail store they will tell you to look at the label. Some natural food stores actually train their staff and they have a good idea of what does what. When you ask them, how do you know it works? Some will say science, my  next question is what science?  Usually I get a blank stare. Some will cite science based on one of the ingredients  What happens when they are mixed with other ingredients? Is there science behind THIS particular product you are recommending?

I thought I purchased a really good supplement and had been taking it for awhile. I didn't notice much but with the way I eat sometimes, I figured something is better than nothing.  Then a friend challenged me, "how do you know it works?". Well  I didn't  I went online and emailed the company and asked, especially since it had SCIENCE all over their website. Backed by SCIENCE, Proven Ingredients, etc. You get the picture. They emailed me back:

****** has not done the research so we are not able to send out this information. The studies have been done with to the ingredients. Try doing a search with the name of the ingredients not our product name.

Ok so if the ingredients are mixed with other ingredients (like a recipe or even a pharmaceutical company changes the formula it has to be re-tested) yet they want me to think that if i research the individual generic ingredients stuffed in their product that it will show what the mix will do as a whole? I can tell you from being a not so good cook, that if I mix up the ratios or leave an ingredient out or put an extra one in, it can taste different, cook different, well, mine turn out horrible really. So they like us to believe if you look a one ingredient on the label and there is science tests behind it the mix or that ratio in their product will have the same result. It must be true. REALLY?  Well guess what? My blood work said otherwise. Good grief what a waste. 

 I have found that there are products out there rooted in real science. I can check them out by name on pubmed.gov or google scholar.  They are tested in whole and by product name. I have to say my blood test were near perfect this last month, well  I need to eat more protein and get out in the sun a bit more, but by golly when I took something that had real science from independent science resources like pubmed.gov, it worked.

To get on pubmed.gov and/or be published in a medical/science journal you  need to have it peer reviewed. That's scary. If I had to hand my masters thesis over to the best students in the class before I could submit it, I would still be waiting on my masters. Dig folks, don't let the labels fool you. They can look pretty and say many things, but check out the science before you waste your money! 

Nrf2... the new way to be healthy

Have you heard of Nrf2? If you haven't you will soon. 

All these years we've thought that antioxidants are the way we help our body stay healthy and heal. This is true but how we go about it has been the subject of new research. Most antioxidants are what we call DIRECT, we eat, swallow, drink something with high "antioxidants". We see it on all the labels. 

It's funny, you know how there is always a fad. Something that comes in, seems to be everywhere then vanishes or you find out it's not what it was cracked up to be?  Think about the words "diet", "low fat", "all natural", "organic" and the new one "no GMO" (Genetically modified organisms (i think that means fake food!), etc.  Why is GMO so big now? Why does everything have ANTIOXIDANTS on the label  We perceive it to be healthier  better for us, and most importantly keep us healthy. Then we come to find out we should keep things like they were way back when. 

The new but old is Nrf2. Nrf2 is a protein in your body that helps regulate YOUR bodies own enzyme production. Why is that important? well as you age your enzyme production slows down in areas you don't want it to and increase in areas that are bad for you. What does Nrf2 do? It helps put things back to healthy levels. Think of a piano new when you get it, perfectly in tune, then over years of use it's out of tune. You get a specialist to come in and tune it up. That is what Nrf2 does. When we activate Nrf2, we get our bodies back in tune. How do we do it? well it's not easy but we can do it synthetically (your will need a prescription and may have  side effects), all naturally with Protandim, or try to eat a ton of Nrf2 activating agents such as broccoli, like 5 pounds a day!

I was watching Candice Glover  sing her amazing rendition of  The Cure's, 'Love Song.' and was AMAZED! How does she do it? Is it real or is it Memorex?  How do we know if what we do to our body is real or fake?  I'm pretty certain Candice Glover is the real deal. I can't decide between her or Angie Miller, they both deserve to be recording artists, but how do we know? Is it because we feel it? See it? touch it?  What is the difference between the placebo and the real deal?  When it comes to science or Nrf2 how do you know? Test's my friend. 

How do you know if Nrf2 works for you? Universities all over the US and Netherlands are chasing Nrf2 technology. They have blood tests, human and mice tests. They check our blood, they check our disease state. It works. Check out Pubmed.gov put in Nrf2. They know how it helps our body get fine tuned again. If it's all natural like a salad we eat, why do we worry about putting something in our bodies? Because we have to ask a doctor first? Has that been helping us? Did see the statistics on what we go into doctors for? It's not to keep us healthy its mostly to deal with disease or illness. Lets start finding ways to fine tune our bodies!
