What Is Folic Acid?
Folic acid is one of the B vitamins which is essential for the formation of new cells as well as the formation of DNA. The natural form is known as folate and is found in foods such as leafy green vegetables, asparagus, lentils, yeast, mushrooms, organ meats, bananas, melons, lemons, orange juice and tomato juice. Most people do not get adequate amounts of folate from foods sources, and the body does not assimilate the natural form as readily as folic acid, which is the manmade form.
The most well known use of folic acid as a supplement is in women who are trying to get pregnant and in pregnant women. Folic acid is documented as a safeguard against neural tube defects which occur very early in prenatal development. The risk of neural tube defects is reduced by 50 to 75 percent in women who take at least 400 micrograms of folic acid daily for at least one month before conception and throughout the first trimester of pregnancy.
Women who have sufficient intake of folic acid and folate also have significantly reduced risk of developing high blood pressure later in life. It is believed that folic acid reduces the risk of high blood pressure by causing blood vessels to relax, thus improving circulation.
Folic acid is used in treating folic acid deficiency, poor intestinal nutrient absorption, ulcerative colitis, liver disease, alcoholism, and end-stage kidney disease. It is also used to treat anemia and heart disease, memory loss, vitiligo, nerve pain, muscle pain, depression, age-related hearing loss, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis and restless legs syndrome. It is also used topically to treat gum infections and gum disease. Additionally, folic acid can be used in a preventative manner for age-related macular degeneration, colon cancer, and cervical cancer.
There are some side effects associated with high doses of folic acid, such as diarrhea, stomach upset, abdominal cramps, irritability, excitability, nausea, gas, behavior changes, skin reactions, rashes and pernicious anemia. A safe daily dosage of folic acid for most people is 400 micrograms per day.
Biotin For Healthy Skin, Nails and Hair
Biotin is a B vitamin which is naturally present in the human body and which is important for numerous metabolic functions. It is a carbon dioxide transporter and also expedites the processing of carbohydrates, protein and fat. As a result biotin can be a great component in a weight loss plan. Biotin’s involvement in carbohydrate processing also makes it responsible for maintaining normal blood sugar levels. It can also help to lower cholesterol levels, but be aware that it may interfere with the effects of some cholesterol-lowering medications.
There is extensive evidence to suggest that biotin plays an important role in the maintenance of healthy skin and nails. Those who suffer from eczema, seborrheic dermatitis or brittle nails often benefit from supplementation with this nutrient. Biotin is also helpful in treating a number of hair issues such as hair loss, reduced growth, thinning hair, and dull, brittle hair. I have put patients on biotin who have reported stronger, healthier and thicker hair after taking biotin for a few months.
This supplement is relatively inexpensive and carries rare and minimal side effects. The most common side effect reported is cystic acne at the chin and jawline and subsides after a few weeks. If this is something you experience while taking biotin, decrease your daily dosage to 25 micrograms per day.
Most sources recommend a dosage of 30 micrograms per day. However, I have taken 5,000 micrograms daily for many years and have not experienced any untoward effects.

Swat Fuel Fat Burners – Superior Products!
If you are looking for a revolutionary fat burner which provides sustained energy for an entire day and which also works as a potent pre-workout booster, you need to check out 9mm and 9mm+P from Swat Fuel. I am not joking – prepare to be amazed.
I am not easily impressed by sports supplements because there are so many products out there that over-promise and under-deliver. However, I can honestly say that Swat Fuel 9mm and 9mm+P are unique and superior to any other thermogenic fat burners on the market. These products were originally formulated for law enforcement individuals and military personnel to specifically provide sustained stamina and energy which lasts the entire day and does not produce jitters. These products optimize fat metabolism and are excellent for use as pre-workout boosters to maximize your energy and stamina during your lift. Even if you don’t work out, you can count on these powerful formulations to increase energy levels without the usual jitters or crash that many thermogenics cause.
9mm is a powerful thermogenic and pre-workout formula, but if you are trying to lose weight or you want to become ripped, opt for 9mm+P which also contains a natural appetite suppressant.
Prepare to SWEAT LIKE A PIG during your workouts when you take these supplements! Also make sure to hydrate very well when taking either product. Even from the first time I took 9mm, my reaction was one of total surprise. As the sweat poured off me and I noticed that I had laser focus with my lift, I just kept saying, WOW. I was truly blown away, and I continue to be impressed by the fact that this product delivers true to its description.
Every time I take this stuff, I am drenched in sweat about five minutes into my lift. No other thermogenic has ever had this effect on me. What amazes me is that my heart does not race, I do not get the jitters, and my workouts are much more powerful than on the days when I don’t take it.

Pregorexia
I was utterly shocked when I first learned of this term and could not believe that some pregnant women were willing to endanger the health of their unborn infants as well as their own health in an effort to avoid weight gain. Pregorexia is a psychological condition in which a woman’s obsession with being thin persists during pregnancy. It has the same features that anorexia does, with the stark exception the fact that a developing fetus is also endangered by the restriction in calories and nutrients.
About half of pregnant women will only eat certain foods which they have determined to be thin figure-friendly, while about one-fifth of pregnant women will actively restrict caloric intake. A small percentage of pregnant women will engage in excessive exercise, induce vomiting or take laxatives in an effort to rid themselves of ingested calories. Other pregnant women will binge, which exposes the infant to widely varying levels of nutrients. These erratic behaviors increase the risk of gestational diabetes, post-partum depression, c-section, miscarriage, stillbirth, prematurity, low birth weight and breech delivery, yet these risks fail to deter many women from engaging in them.
More than half of women end up feeling more insecure about their bodies while they are pregnant, and many will harbor such intense fear of gaining weight while pregnant that they will starve themselves or employ some of the methods mentioned earlier. Even breastfeeding behaviors may fall prey to the psychological mechanism of restricting calories. Some women may resort to breastfeeding or pumping for the sole reason of shedding calories, an activity known as “pump purging”.
Pregnant women need to ingest an additional 10% more calories per day, which usually amounts to about 300 extra calories per day. As for ideal weight gain during pregnancy, women of normal weight should expect to gain between 25 to 35 pounds. Women who are overweight should aim for a pregnancy weight gain of 15 to 25 pounds, while obese women should only gain between 11 to 20 pounds.
The number one most important concern a woman should have while she is pregnant is the health of her unborn baby.
