How important is Calcium Magnesium & Vitamin K?

Calcium is an essential building block to good health. Its recommended that both men & woman take 1,000 mg a day ages 19-50. 
A 6 oz glass of milk will give you 300 mg, an 8 oz plain yogurt gives you 415 mg & 3 oz  serving of salmon will give you 181 mg, wow I didn't know salmon had calcium, but yes its surprising all the foods that do have calcium.

Guess what ladies calcium has shown in clinical trials to help with PMS mood & somatic symptoms associated with PMS. 
Also 80% of adults who suffer from osteoporosis are woman so that's a bigger reason to get enough calcium into your diet.

Absorption is key so its very important to ally calcium with Vitamin K2, Magnesium & Vitamin D. Vitamin K2 directs & helps the calcium get to the right places in the body & helps the body maintain the body's bone mass & promotes elasticity of the blood vessels. 
Vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium & phosphorus. It supports the production of several proteins involved in calcium absorption & storage.
Other benefits of Vitamin D include, lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, promote strong hard bones, regulate the immune system & supports a healthy body weight & potential weight loss.

Magnesium supports more than 300 enzyme systems, it is required for 
energy, 
heart health, 
nerve function, 
stress management, 
metabolism and much more.

Supports normal blood pressure, 
Promotes head comfort, 
Promotes optimal muscle health
Supports healthy sleep quality


Magnesium also helps the body maintain normal calcium levels as well as phosphorus, potassium, adrenaline & insulin.

What's in this stuff?

I started my Isotonix Prime Anti Aging kit, I started the Prime hgh the same day I got it because I can take it at night before going to bed so I did, that was July 18. It's been 2 weeks now that I have been religiously taking the Isotonix Longevity & joint support formula cocktail in the mornings on an empty stomach, by the way they taste great :) and after my workout as directed I been taking the Prime HGH. I wasn't expecting to feel like I was 15 years old or anything like that, but just this Wednesday my workout group was in the bathroom talking about how sore they were from Mondays workout. I wasn't really that much sorer & I know I didn't cheat myself because I do push my self at every workout, but I didn't think much of it. Today after my normal workout I noticed that I was not as pooped near the end of the workout. I felt more energetic today for some odd reason, so while on my 30 minute power walk I thought "It's gotta be the anti aging kit!" I got home did my normal routine went to my site and read all the ingredients & there it was all the information I needed to validate that this stuff really works! 
Wow now I'm really more excited about this stuff, it really, really works! 
So lets start with the Prime Ultimate longevity 
Instanized branched chain Amino Acids helps with muscle retention that's why I was not as sore as the others! Before even when my 4 pound Yorkie jumped on me I was screaming!
Huperzine A it says its great for the memory, I admit I don't think this part has kicked in yet because I called my boo 3 times yesterday & since he didn't answer when he called me back I totally forgot what I was calling him for until the 3rd time but that's OK that happens I got a million things going through my mind, but I will say that today I really felt very clear minded while doing my power walk, it was kind of a good funny weird thing.

Now the Joint support

Primary Benefits of Prime™ Joint Support Formula by Isotonix®*:

  • Supports relief from temporary inflammation associated with the normal aging process and daily activity ( that's why I finished cleaning my house faster with less complaining!)
  • Helps maintain healthy joint fluidity and flexibility (no wonder my knees don't hurt like before thanks Scotti Pippen!)
  • Promotes normal cartilage synthesis and regeneration ( I don't know what this means)
  • Promotes optimal joint health (don't feel rusty after my workout)
  • Helps maintain joint comfort (Again I feel great & I'm walking normal instead of like I got hit by a car! )
  • Supports normal, healthy levels of COX-2 and 5-LOX (I really don't know what this means either but it helps)
Then my favorite that I knew it worked already but 

combined with the other 2 BAMB!! 

Prime HGH I love this product!


So you see with the Glycine in my Prime HGH also the memory part should be kicking in any time now, I know my mental function is doing much better because I am getting more done.

The L-Arginine is stimulating my pituitary gland so I'm producing natural 
HGH in my body yay!

The L-Glutamine is helping my muscles again that's why I'm not crying after the workout my recovery is much faster ;)

Hey I believe in the No pain No gain but I don't have to torture myself ;)

Colostrum helped me with the bleachers this week ( I love the bleachers) & the running around the shelter no wonder I didn't have to stop as much gasping for air ;)

L-Lysine I really need this because since I lost so much fat I need to build protein now so I can firm up

Taurine-Hello I got a lot of energy!

& DNA/RNA promotes normal tissue regeneration- I don't know what that means either but wow the whole kit is so totally worth it! 

I wouldn't give my energy for my 17 year old, she complains of a short 20 minute bike ride to work, are you serious?? I'm dieing to get a bike so I can bike it back & forth to boot camp!

Wow if you are over 30-35 I STRONGLY recommend the whole kit!


I'm going to be 42 the following Monday & I truly feel like I haven't even hit 30.

I got my Anti-Aging kit

All day waiting for my favorite delivery people UPS finally drops off my Shop.com-MA order, its finally here I'm so excited its my Prime Isotonix Anti-Aging kit. It's no secret that I'm over 40ish & I have been wanting to get back on this regimen for a while. Like anything, if you want to get the best results you need to commit to really taking those supplements as directed. I have used the Prime HGH secretagogue several years ago & I was literally tickled pink by the results ;) Well what I mean is that the Prime HGH is a natural supplement that stimulates aka tickles the pituitary gland to produce its own hormone. Most adults begin to lose HGH from their body once they hit that 30 mark. So when I was introduced to Prime at the age of over 35 ish it was definitely a product I wanted & needed to try. It first sparked my attention when my junior partner who was even younger than I back then ordered it & called me with her testimonials. She said "Annette I ordered that Prime HGH to try it and I was shocked how in just one day I noticed a difference. I normally have trouble falling asleep & the 1st night I drank it I fell asleep like a rock within minutes of going to bed." Then she went on to talk about how she felt more active, active. I'm keeping this a PG blog but for those ladies who don't feel as active as those earlier years then you know what I mean. But lets move on here...my goal is to build lean muscle stimulate my pituitary gland & feel younger. I truly feel that this product is going to help me again & now will help me with my daily boot camp workout ;) I haven't tried the 2 other products in the kit but I have heard great reviews from Scottie Pippen who just happens to endorse the product. Scotti is great friends with Loren & Jr & he himself asked for a product that would help him with his joint flexibility. So there it was another brilliant partnership was born to create Prime joint support formula by Isotonix & Prime ultimate longevity formula. Boy do I need it! 
The joint support will help promote temporary inflammation associated with normal aging, healthy joint flexibility & normal cartilage & regeneration synthesis. I really don't know what that means but I know its going to work for me because its from the Isotonix family ;) The longevity formula will help with muscle fatigue & most important my memory! OMG that's what I really been looking for! For several years now I have been suffering from short term memory loss....& I have a real good memory, I really do! But lately I have so much information in my mind that when I get up to do something I enter the other room & totally forget what I went in there for! Ugh I hate that!
I have to go back to where I was to pick up my thoughts that I left behind to remember what the ___ I was going to do. Or tell me if this has ever happened to you, you make a call it starts ringing they answer & you totally forgot who you were calling or for what you were calling ugh! Or even worse you are freaking out running all over the place talking on the phone & you scream "where is my phone" then the person you are talking to says "Mom you are talking on the phone with it"! Hey I know I'm not the only one because I have seen some coocoo for coco puffs everywhere. So I'm not saying that its going to cure you that's for sure, but if you think you are still sane then maybe all you just need is a little supplementing to help remind you that you are still young & healthy ;) I strongly recommend trying the whole kit. 


Oh & my TLS chocolate shake is in the back I was all out ;)

Dont cheat yourself

This past Sunday I had a business overview meeting with my junior partner Olga. Olga is pretty cool I have been working with her more & more lately. She asked me if I would help her with a new prospect. She set up meeting with her potential business owner at one of our Starbucks offices in Miami. The meeting went great.  I mean the prospect didn’t say “ok where do I sign?” but she was very impressed with the quality of our products & how many different products & services we offer.  I like to look at someones face when they are evaluating & I did see that she was a bit overwhelmed with everything we offer but she said she was willing to talk to her hubby so we can meet again to see if she can handle such an incredible business opportunity. I know Olga will followup & follow through with her. After the meeting Olga & I came back to my house & talked about lots of stuff, like life & of course the business. Then Olga says “wow there is still so much I still Have to do”. I looked at Olga & said “yes you are right. No matter how much time has passed there is still allot We still haven’t done". Time has passed but what did you do in that time?? That’s what we need to evaluate productivity not just time. Olga like allot of us has had challenges. She has a husband 3 kids & a full time 45 year plan aka J-O-B. Just a few weeks ago something happened in her business that really pissed her off. She texted me “I am soooo pissed I quit”! OMG I couldn’t believe she send me that! She really sent that to the wrong person! If you are going to quit just do it, but never text me or even call me that you are doing it. If that’s what you are going to do then do it yourself, that’s my attitude. I didn’t answer her but 2 days later she texted me again “Hey I was just pissed that day I'm not going to quit I have put too much Time to quit now! I texted her back with a smile “Im glad u came 2 ur senses sometimes S_it happens but u need to move on. Don't get stuck on the Dot!
How can you come this far & cheat yourself? How can you get mad over a stupid thing that was your fault anyway & quit your dreams or purpose? I have said this before & I will say it again. If you quit you are only hurting yourself! Stuff will always happen it’s the law of the universe! But you have to take it as lessons. Don’t say you did everything when you know you didn’t!
I love to apply the don’t cheat yourself to my boot camp. My trainer writes out a workout & we have a certain time to do it. In the beginning I wasn’t doing all the reps because I was still breaking in. But I noticed that when I pushed myself more my body felt stronger, tighter & I was able to do more with my workout. If I don’t do the workout that I pay to do the only one losing is me! Yes me duh, I still gotta pay for the class weather I show up or not or weather I do it or not. So why would I cheat myself & not do my best to get the best results? It’s the same with the business. Any business or any dream worth having weather it’s a tight sexy body, a residual income business, becoming a superstar or whatever, if its worth having you will HAVE to get out of your comfort zone. So by hiding & pretending you did your workout it is not going to help you, it will hurt you. Cheating yourself saying you did your best when leaders are telling you daily what you need to do to be successful & You haven’t done it is really Cheating yourself! Go back to your business plan & read it! Have you seriously done even 20% of it? I know I still havent done all of it so I know for sure there are others who dont even know this business came with a business plan! For real some still have it in a corner in their home collecting dust!
