Is vitamin water good for you or not? because I am ADDICTED - especially to the Focus kiwi-strawberry?
Is vitamin water good for you or not? becuase I drink it all the time. especially the Focus or kiwi-strawberry kind. It says that it has vitamin A and ginkgo biloba in it (whatever that is) Does anyone know if thats good or bad?

It%26#039;s OK for you. But, not especially OK for your wallet. Vitamin water, along with most bottled waters, are a total ripoff.
Reply:um they%26#039;re like less then 2 bucks. idk how its a rip off Report It
Reply:well, its not the worst you can do.
I think vitamin water is one of those things that isnt good or bad for you. Its just somewhere in the middle.
Reply:Not good for you....has high levels of glucose and sodium
Reply:Too much vitamin A can be bad for you.

What's the best non-prescription supplement to improve memory and focus?
It%26#039;s getting close to my next round of exams again and I need a boost. I don%26#039;t want to get involved in prescription amphetamines, and energy drinks tend to just give me excess energy and a counterproductive inability to focus. I%26#039;ve heard good things of ginkgo biloba extracts. I%26#039;ve heard %26#039;ginkgold%26#039; is quite good. Any input is appreciated. My spending limit is about $50 and I%26#039;d prefer purchasing it online.
What%26#039;s the best non-prescription supplement to improve memory and focus?
i use siberian ginseng and ginko biloba. both are available at your local grocery store and about 10 bucks a bottle. my cousins%26#039; wife has been studying alternative medicine for about 4 years now so i called and she recommended those two.
ginseng has a calming effect for me and that is very important when going into an exam. if you%26#039;re looking for a natural energy boost try bee pollen. it%26#039;s inexpensive as well.
i went back to school at 35 and the anxiety of learning to learn again was almost overwhelming and those basic supplements really made a noticeable difference. i%26#039;m not sure how much was just in my mind but whatever works works.
a 2 month supply will come in far under your budget.
good luck with your exams!
Reply:I wouldn%26#039;t rely on supplements only. There are several other things you can do to improve your memory.
If you want to improve your ability to memorize, then learn the memory systems. These include the peg, link, loci, and other methods, and they are not hard to learn. Just the other day, I taught my first-grader how to memorize a page of Spanish vocabulary using the %26quot;keyword%26quot; visualization method.
A easy-to-read book that explains the memory systems and gives lots of examples is %26quot;The Memory Book%26quot; by Harry Lorayne. For students like you, his other book, %26quot;Super Memory, Super Student%26quot; may even be better, since it explains how the memory systems can be used to memorize course work like chemistry, math, and so on.
To improve your memory generally, you will probably need to make some lifestyle changes. There has been a lot of research lately about memory. This research shows that exercising daily, improving your sleep, eating brain foods and taking brain vitamins, and meditating can all improve memory. You can also play brain games like sudoku, crossword puzzles, and chess to help keep your mind sharp.
If you have trouble concentrating, start taking fish oil vitamins. A lot of people are deficient in the Omega-3 nutrients found in fish oil. These nutrients are required for brain health but are often missing from today%26#039;s diets. I take 1 to 2 teaspoons a day of the liquid fish oil (Carlson%26#039;s brand).
You can do all this for almost no money. The two books I mentioned are only about $10 each. Vitamins and brain foods are fairly cheap, and the other lifestyle changes are free. And you can easily find free brain games on the Internet.

Reply:First, to improve memory, the important factor is blood circulation of the brain with sufficient oxygen supply and other essential nutrients.
Several memory enhancing herbs are available in the market. But, the only herb that inhales oxygen while growing are the Red Mushrooms (also known as Ganoderma, Lingzhi or Reishi). So when taken regularly, the blood oxygen absorbed increases by 1.5 times. Also, more than 200 active elements are developed in Red Mushrooms. Very importantly containing an element called Polysaccharides (known as %26quot;master molecules%26quot; that correct body imbalances and a body cleanser).

What is the best health product (supplements) for overall health, why?
Health products like multivitamin, omega, ginkgo etc.
What is the best health product (supplements) for overall health, why?
That%26#039;s actually a really broad question. Most supplements help for one particular area of the body, and there are only a few that are actually good for %26quot;overall health%26quot;.
Of course, a good multi is a good idea to cover the basics, but there are quite a few others, too....
Most antioxidants cover things over the whole body, and that covers the Vitamin C products, Noni, Goji, Blueberry, and dozens of other fruits. Chlorella and Spirulina cover several bases because of the naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, protein, amino acids, and chlorophyll.
To cover the other ones you mentioned, Omega is a general category of nutrients (like %26quot;vitamin%26quot; is a general category). Most Omega-3 fatty acids help with cardiovascular health, skin health, and brain health (although brain health is mostly fish oil). Most Omega-6 fatty acids are good for skin health and women%26#039;s %26quot;monthly issues%26quot;. Ginkgo is good for brain health and memory support. Most of those individual and popular ones are typically just for single purposes, really.
......Any others you have questions about? Let me know.
Reply:forget the supplements, go with veggies, fruits and grains. If I was stuck with just one,, go with fish oil
Reply:antioxidents are good(because they support your immune system). also, so is fish oil(it does many things, such as give joints extra cushioning, help prevent a heart disease, does something with your eyes)

Has anyone taken this antidepressant?
I have depression and social anxiety and the psychiatrist prescribed me Fevarin,which as far as I know from the Internet,is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and Flavotan,another medicine with ginkgo biloba extracts.Does Fevarin have severe side effects and which? I ended up accpeting the idea that I need to take antidepressants disregarding the fact that they could have severe side effects because I feel there%26#039;s no other way I could heal,it%26#039;s too much pain and I can%26#039;t handle it alt all.Nothing worked and I%26#039;m afraid this won%26#039;t wotk either,but I need to know what are the risks of taking these pills.Thank you.
Has anyone taken this antidepressant?
Call your pharmacist where you got the prescription filled and he can give you the printout of the possible side effects. You have to give it about 2 months to work, unless you have bad side effects - then you should quit right away. I take Zoloft and Wellbutrin and have no side effects. That%26#039;s the way it should be. Good Luck!
Reply:It sounds as if you looked on the internet for some information about your meds, the same site that you found that information on should have told you about side effects and whatever else you want to know.....if your site didn%26#039;t go to webmd and do a drug search. I know you can find what you need on their site.
Reply:I have never heard of the antidepressant you are taking but I used to take lexapro and then changed to zoloft. When I started taking them I felt a really big difference. I feel like getting on antidepressants saved my life because I was to the point where I felt suicidal. Like all medicines they have side effects but they are not as bad as being depressed and anxious. Good luck.

What's the best concentration aid for studying?
Caffeine?
Nicotine?
Nootropics?
Ginkgo Biloba?
I%26#039;m struggling in college and I need to bring my GPA up to 3.6 (minimum.) Help!
What%26#039;s the best concentration aid for studying?
Here%26#039;s my tips to how to study well:
First, get yourself a good breakfast in the morning. I don%26#039;t particularly mean a breakfast sandwich and a deep fried hash brown at your favorite fast food joint, I really mean a plate of the classic bacon or sausage with eggs, hash browns, and some toast.
Second, for the cheap fix, get yourself some coffee. Typically, colleges/universities offer some really cheap prices for coffee, especially how much students and faculty drink on a daily basis.
Third, don%26#039;t study at home. Odds are that you will be distracted by turning on the TV or laying in bed with your literature material. A good and quiet place to study and work would typically be the campus library or a study room/lounge in nearly any college building. Computer labs are a good idea too, but steer away from the main labs and use the smaller labs.
Reply:Caffeine!!!
Reply:Chewing sunflower seeds helps a lot because you are constantly chewing. Listening to Mozart has been proved to help stimulate your brain also.
Reply:First, get a full eight hours a sleep each night --- this is number one. And drink a lot of water all day long.
Second, make your at-home study time to be five hours or more for studying each and every day.
Third, exercise aerobically as much as you possibly can.
Fourth, eat a lot of vegetarian meals, even if you%26#039;re not a vegan and take a multivitamin
Fifth, take DMAE - it%26#039;s a vitamin that is good for memory
and alpha lipoic acid and take a lot of Calcium/Magnesium/zinc vitamin.
Sixth, while studying, take a lot of short mental breaks such as warm showers, quick healthy snacks, push ups, etc.
and last be sure to have some recreational time, but don%26#039;t let recreational time cut into your study time too much.
I also find that study groups and genuine study partners help greatly.
Good Luck

Reply:Caffeine actually makes me tired but I%26#039;m weird ... Don%26#039;t do anything drastic or that will harm your body! I like to listen to music when I study, you can give that a try ... I also am a huge procrastinator and the best way to make time to study is to FORCE yourself to go the the library or your student lounge, not your room or home lol ... You+lots of coffee+library/quiet place with no distractions = Good study time :)
P.s. - Find out whether your a visual (learn best reading material), oral (learn best listening), or writing (learn best writing things down over and over)kind of learner. I am the last kind and for major tests or ones with a lot of vocab I like to write questions on flash cards and answers on the back and then quiz myself with them ... Or just taking notes helps me most of the time and then reviewing them or studying with a partner.
