    B Vitamins Better Than Drugs…

    Today I want to talk to you about B vitamins. They are your best protection against heart attack and stroke and more powerful than any drug.

    B vitamins are controversial, but they shouldn’t be… a lot of what you hear about them comes from misleading reports sponsored by drug companies.

    Big Pharma is working on drug versions of B vitamins, especially B6. They’re hoping you’ll “trust” their drug version over the kind you get from a multi-vitamin.

    But really, why would you pay hundreds of dollars for a prescription form of B6 when you can get it at your local vitamin store for pennies?

    Men: How Potent Are You, Really?

    You may not be as virile as you think…

    There may still be something that you aren’t even aware of wrong with your reproductive system. A recent study revealed that if you don’t get enough of a certain nutrient, you risk sterility—or worse.

    Truth is, if you’re like most men, you’re probably not getting enough folate.

    This is a member of the B complex of vitamins. Leafy greens like spinach and kale are especially rich in folate, along with dried beans, peas, and turnips. We’ve known for decades that it plays a critical role in female reproductive health, improving fertility and insuring the health of the developing fetus.

    Turns out it’s just as important for male fertility.
