I've started taking some vitamins. Just for the sake of the fact my body has been feeling really run down lately and I'm wondering if maybe it has something to do some kind of vitamin deficiency. Hopefully they'll have some kind of positive influence. I actually left Jesse, a friend of mine that worked in a vitamin shop for a long time, an e-mail asking him what I can take for chronic migraines. I've had chronic migraines almost non stop for quite some time now and I'm feeling like Advil reliance is not a route I want to take.
I had "hi potency B compound," calcium, and vitamin C here already, and looked them up to see what kind of benefits they have. I don't know how accurate these things are but I don't think Jesse would give them to me if they were not good for me.
Hi potency B compound: Water-soluble B vitamins are not stored in the body and must be replenished daily. They are necessary for proper metabolism and nerve function, and are essential for healthy skin, hair, eyes, mouth and liver.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C is a potent, nutritional antioxidant supporting healthy bones, cartilage, teeth and gums. It helps protect cells against environmental pollutants and deficiencies in the daily diet.
Calcium: Calcium is necessary to maintain strong bones and teeth. It regulates heart rhythm and assists in normal blood clotting. Helps to lower blood pressure and vital to normal kidney function. It helps soothe insomnia helps maintain proper nerve and muscle function. Current medical research shows that calcium reduces the incidence of colon cancer, and reduces blood cholesterol levels. Calcium also protects the bones and teeth from lead because it inhibits absorption. If your body is deficient in Calcium, lead can be absorbed by the body and deposited in teeth and bones.
Deficiency leads to: aching joints, brittle nails, eczema, elevated blood cholesterol, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, insomnia, muscle cramps, nervousness, numbness in arms and/or legs, rickets and tooth decay. Depression and hyperactivity may also be attributed Calcium deficiency.
Maybe that's why I'm always sore, get muscle cramps, and have trouble sleeping... lol. Well, I'll try it for a few weeks and see if it helps any. I have to go to the doctor soon for my two-month visit so I'll ask her about it & the headaches as well. |
