EXPLORING: EMPOWER

EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITIES:  EMPOWERPLUS

 The road to wellness is a journey of exploration and learning which is never over.  My experience has taught me that healthy brain and healthy digestion equal a healthy, happy and productive life.

Currently I am looking at the ways Empowerplus can aid mental health.   25 or more research studies show that use of Empowerplus corrects the unique imbalances and deficiencies associated with mental illness.  In smaller amounts EMPower is effective for people whose lives are stressful, or who have mild depression or negative thinking.

How about anyone using Empower as their multivitamin?  My husband does.  Our friend whose job requires complex thinking all day long, says the his thinking is sharper since he started taking Empowerplus. I know someone else who sleeps better as long as he takes it.  People who are under a lot of stress report that they are able to manage better while taking Empowerplus.

Empowerplus has four aspects that make it superior to generic multivitamins.

First, it is micronized, so the nutrients are small enough for the body to use.  Because Empowerplus is micronutrients which are small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier, it can reach the sites in the brain where it is really needed.

Second, it is chelated.  The nutrients are bound to a protein the body can use.

Third, it is balanced for maximum absorption.  Vitamins and minerals depend on each other for absorption.  For example, calcium needs vitamin D to be absorbed.

Fourth, Empowerplus can be taken in high enough doses to address deficiencies and promote proper metabolic functioning.

Personally I have worked a lot on my thinking.  I have done a number of things to overcome negative thinking and improve flawed thought patterns.  I know I am well because I have done this. However, I have also learned that it is difficult, and even sometimes impossible, to maintain those healthy ways of thinking if something is messing with my brain chemistry.

As women, we are universally hard on ourselves--some of us really excel at this.  When you factor in some imbalances in the brain, it's likely to grow out of proportion.  For me, it's been helpful to realize that it's all about brain chemicals--not character flaws.

Whether or not you are on psychiatric meds, but especially if you are, and want to take this supplement you MUST be informed about how to use it.  That is why the two organizations that produce EMPowerplus, provide a very fine support system.  It is composed of counselors who are trained and ready to help customers with the optimal dosage and schedule.  They will listen with interest to your symptoms and concerns and advise you about the compatibility of medications and other supplements or herbs that you may be using.  My next post will be an "instruction manual" for accessing this support.
