    My Heavens!!! Ok, you look AMAZING so maybe you should give me that list?? :) Seriously, I am 34, fairly active ( I teach Zumba and other dance classes), but I love to eat!! Also a few months ago I had a thyroid test that came back borderline hypo, but not quite at "medication" levels...
    I also have some arthritis in my foot which is very painful and limits my aerobic activities outside of the Zumba and dancing. So, any ideas?

    The doctors scale for Thyroid is so high, I tested with an herbalist and mine showed up. The doctors said I vvas like you. I take a Thyroid support tablet. If your thyroid and adrenal glands are under active that has to do with energy. The I Flex is for joint relief and comfort. I think you would like the Bee energy it is natural from honey also.Try and get an Omega that has all three in it. I do not use any from normal stores because they are full of fillers.Not even my multi. I worked in healthfood and you would be surprised some additives in store brands.Primerose is good for pms,but I take for skin. Message me if you have any more questions.

    I'm sure you don't want to be taking a whole bunch of pills, so try taking a B complex vitamin, The B vitamins it what supplies your bodies natural energy. Also make sure to take a one-a-day vitamin. All vitamins are important, but the B vitamins actually affect the way your body feels. And B vitamins, are a key ingredient in diet pills, because they boost your metabolism, and give you energy. Both the B-complex vitamin, and a men or womens one-a day vitamin are inexpensive around $3 or $4 each at Walmart

    Dude, buy some Jack3d or Superpump and don't even take a whole scoop. Maybe half or less than half a scoop. If you just wanna feel READY to workout, get some Jack3d, it's only 30 bucks maybe. This is a video some dude made, watch it! http://youtu.be/PLvvnBsC4-w

    Depends on the effects you are looking for. There isn't any magic fix. I would suggest getting a fulll blood chem panel to see if you are low on anything. And make sure you get a copy of the actual labs, not just the doctors report. My pcp said I was " normal" except for hyperlipidemia, but my B and d were like 5 points from being considered low. Supplementing those really helped, and it turned out my "normal" B levels were contributing to my restless legs.

    Good luck to you.

    I agree....doctors seem to take being on the verge as not enough. I had restless legs too. They gave me shots ,but I couldn''t tell. The BEE energy I take is straight from the honey,not man made.

    Does this make your heart rate go up? There are so many things out there that do.

    I took Controlled Lab's REDuction shots (as in a shot glass, not a needle) And they helped me get started on my last cut.

    They have an AM with some caffeine to get you going, and supress your appetite a bit.
    Then theres a PM. Not sure what it does but I slept like a baby. LOVED IT.

    They're pretty cheap too.

    bwahahhaa.

    superpump is a horrible preworkout and I wouldn't reccommend it to anyone.
    Jack3d will definately give you some energy and supress your appetite, but I'd suggest staying away from DMAA. A lot of people crash pretty hard after taking supps with dimethylamylamine. It's not pleasant.

    Ok I might as well have my three pence worth.......

    It is important to realise that most of these supplements are exactly as the name suggest a 'supplement'....if you eat healthly and the right food you will get all you need.

    Vitamin tablets are now under scrunity for causes cancers

    Whether they do or dont is I think is up to the individual

    I use a protein powder to ramp up my calories and will use multivitamins for a couple of months just to kick start my body

    Save you money on miracle pills and eat healthy and exercise...............
