Is a Multi-Vitamin as Effective as Taking Individual Vitamins?

Are you thinking about adding multi nutrition supplements to your health routine? Multi-vitamins are a great way to boost your intake of several vitamins and nutrients in one convenient pill. They're readily available and affordable, making supplementing your health easier than taking several vitamins individually.

Many manufacturers even produce multivitamins targeted at specific needs and age groups. But is taking a multivitamin as effective as individual supplements?

Filling Nutrient Gaps

Whether or not you benefit from taking multi nutrition supplements depends on your needs and overall health. For most people, multivitamins are just as effective as taking individual vitamins. It may be more effective at filling deficiencies you didn't realize you had.

Multi-vitamins offer a more holistic approach to supplementing your nutritional needs. You can take a single pill to ensure you get everything your body needs. Most aren't fully aware of their daily nutrient intake unless they work closely with a dietician or doctor. Therefore, many have subtle deficiencies they might not know they should address.

In those cases, taking a multivitamin is an effective way to cover all your bases. Even if you get enough other nutrients in the supplement, you fill the necessary gaps to optimize your health. With many options and formulas available, getting what you need is easy without understanding the specifics.

When Multi-Vitamins Aren't as Effective

If you have targeted health concerns, the better choice may be to choose individual supplements. For example, those who are anemic may get guidance from their doctor to take iron daily. Or, people who aren't getting enough vitamin D may need supplements to address related health concerns.

When you know what nutrient deficiencies you experience, getting a multivitamin may provide less potent results. With individual supplements, you can get the precise dosage your doctor recommends. Generally, you can still take a multivitamin to ensure you have the nutrients to stay healthy. But it's wiser to get individual supplements to target the unique health concerns you face.

As always, consult your doctor for guidance. They can recommend vitamins or multivitamins that will benefit you.

40 sentences that will teach you more about nutrition than a $400,000 medical degree

From Brett Boettcher @brettboettcher1

40 sentences that will teach you more about nutrition than a $400,000 medical degree.

1) Meat, eggs and animal organs are the most nutrient dense foods on the planet.

2) Bone broth is loaded in collagen and helps repair the gut so you can heal from the inside out.

3) Saturated fat doesn’t cause heart disease, insulin resistance does.

4) Your ratio of triglycerides to HDL is a great indicator of mortality risk; the lower the better. ·

5) Protein is the most metabolically active macronutrient and it isn’t bad for your kidneys.

6) There isn’t quality evidence to show that dietary cholesterol impacts the cholesterol in your blood. ·

7) There is even less evidence to support that total cholesterol is bad for your health since it is inversely correlated to mortality risk. · 4h 8) Walking before and after meals is a great way to improve digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes.

9) Fiber is the last thing you need if you have IBS or diverticulitis.

10) Dairy is great for your health and its saturated fat intake is inversely correlated to heart disease.

11) Most nutritional recommendations were introduced based on profit margins, not health outcomes.

12) Calories in and calories out is all that matter, but some calories make you hungrier (sugar/grains). Other calories (protein) help you burn more calories.

13) Multi grain just means they took 2+ different terrible sources of grain and put them together into one product.

14) Cereal and bread for breakfast will spike your blood sugar and have you starving before lunch. Try Greek yogurt or eggs instead. ·

15) “Intuitive eating” and “listen to your body” makes no sense considering 88% of people are metabolically unhealthy and addicted to food. No one would say “intuitive crack use.”

16) Eating is a stress on your body; The less often you can eat, the healthier you’ll be.

17) Plan your meals around the protein source (with its natural fat) and add a small side of carbs if needed.

18) Eating for satiety is more important than relying constantly on willpower. Find filling foods and avoid foods with addictive properties (ultra-processed).

19) You don’t have to know how to cook. Grill a meat, sauté a green vegetable, bake a potato. Mix and match a million ways.

20) Eating many of the same foods every week isn’t perfectly optimal but it’s likely your best path to consistency and therefore success. ·

21) Becoming more insulin sensitive should be the focus of any health-related nutrition plan.

22) Salad dressings are one of the worst things you can eat for your health. High in calories and inflammatory industrial oils.

23) Eating 5x per day won’t boost your metabolism. If you are trying to gain weight, it’s an excellent strategy.

24) Bacon can be healthy, just avoid the processing with nitrates.

25) Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are two of the best sources of protein per calorie.

26) Carbs are beneficial around a workout. But many sources of carbs are processed and easily overeaten. Focus on single ingredient foods.

27) You can’t be healthy at any size no matter what your mother or liberal arts professor said.

28) Eat a high protein meal before attending social events that are filled with junk food.

29) If eating out, order the food with the highest protein content.

30) The #1 reason people fail is that they don’t prepare. Meal prep, meal plan, have ready to eat protein sources. · 31) The food you eat directly impacts your mental health and processed foods are correlated with depression and mental illness.

32) Processed foods have been engineered to be as addicting as possible. Your taste buds can be retrained with natural sources.

33) “Plant-based” foods are made in laboratories and are an easy way to sell overpriced junk to consumers at high margin.

34) Eating 1 gram of protein per lb of ideal body weight daily will do more for your body composition than spending 30 minutes on the treadmill.

35) When in doubt, if it comes from the center aisles of the grocery store or has more than 3 ingredients, it’s not good for you.

36) Many foods labeled as “keto” “paleo” or “high protein” are far from meeting the intended definition.

37) Your gut is responsible for 70% of your immune system; feeding it sugar and other inflammatory foods is making you sick now and later.

38) Genetics play a role but over 90% of the country has a resting metabolism within 500 calories daily. Being fit is possible for everyone.

39) Flipping the food pyramid upside down is closer to healthy eating than the traditional suggestions.

40) Eliminating drinking your calories is the first change to make when trying to improve your health.

Real Skincare Guide

Level 1: breakouts, non-painful, a little scarring

Minimize your skincare routine, all you need is an oil cleanser (if you wear a lot of makeup) than a good foam cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Repeat the same routine before bed just without the sunscreen.

Wear sunscreen everyday!!!

Always apply more moisturizer than you think you need.

Drink a lot of water (2-3LT)

Get consistent sleep

Take a multi vitamins to balance your hormones. I recommend the One-A-Day Woman’s Vitamins (get a real pill cause the gummies don’t have enough iron)

Work on your stress (breathe work, meditate, journal, yoga, walks, going out with friends, therapy, etc)

Look at what body oils/shampoo/conditioner you are using. Could be your akin reacting poorly to something in there.

Level 2: consistant breakouts, acne, scarring

All the stuff for Level 1 apply.

Minimize your skincare routine and than slowly add back in stuff like hydrochloric acid and retinol. Having an elaborate skincare will just make your skin worse. First, focus on healing your skin barrier.

If you are a teenager, it just might be your hormones/growing pains. It will go away eventually.

Pimple Patches work and are especially good if you are trying to stop touching your face.

Wash your pillow cases every 1-2 weeks.

Try to sleep on your back.

If you pop a pimple than apply an antibiotic ointment.

No point in using anti-aging products if you are under the age of 25. It just won’t do anything for you.

Note that if you take in a lot of nicotine you will breakout. If you smoke and you have bad skin, it probably won’t improve unless you quit or lessen the dosage.

Level 3: painful consistent breakouts/acne/scars, redness, irritability, hurts,

Go see a dermatologist!

Acne is can be a real problem. If your acne is painful seek professional help.

If Accutane is recommended, than I would do it. Based only on the experiences of my friends, I have seen great results after a couple months. There are side effects and it is not for everyone but if a professional says you should than I might consider it.

No topical treatment is going to make those scars go away. You are going to need to laser resurfacing which is like this secret treatment rich people do to clear up their skin. It is expensive but really works. Beauty brands want you to think that the right cream can clear up your skin but if you have bad scarring you are only going to see real results with laser treatments

All of the above recommendations still apply

Your acne does not take away from your beauty or your worth as a human being. Remember that acne is normal and social media is fake.

Product Recommandations:

Disclaimer: Not every product will work for every skin type. Do your research for what will be beat for you!

Korean skincare! It is reliable to buy from yesstyle or Olive young. Don’t buy on amazon. (Japanese skincare is good too)

Out of curiosity why do you not think people with hEDS should be treated by a rheumatologist? Which other specialty do you think?

(I'm asking in a genuine way, not upset just curiousl)

I don't! I have no idea whether people with hEDS should be treated by a rheumatologist. I just don't know enough to have an opinion one way or the other. I know some rheumatologists do take hEDS patients and others don't so I don't think there's even a consensus among rheumatologists. some of it seems to be preference some of it seems to be belief that hEDS patients don't need rheumatology.

I will say the person I was referencing was denied because "hEDS can be managed by primary care" and reduced hEDS to just hypermobility and pain which is untrue for many if not most people. some people have hEDS that can be managed entirely by primary care but hEDS is a multi-system disorder because collagen is 30% (IRC) of your body's proteins. it is not just joint pain and hypermobility- and it's not just comorbidities either. hEDS can directly cause things like prolapses broadly, mitral valve prolapse specifically, hiatal hernia and other hernias.... you get the gist. comorbidities add a lot to that list as well but there's a lot of debate about causation vs correlation there. it's not uncommon for someone with hEDS to need specialists beyond primary care, basically.

[bloodfin]

alright i can breathe on my own again so back into this thought. here's a few ways all the elements work in healing in my brain*

Quintessence healing does a lot with the electrical impulses of the body; most of their work is possible due to their unique abilities to alleviate pain: neurological pains, including migraines. bone setting. internal, external, and extensive injury. sleep, dream, and memory. autoimmune disease. surgery. seizure disorders. acute pain. dentistry. general medical practice

Water healing is the most versatile, as the majority of organic material is driven by water: dermatology. uncontrolled/high fever. hyperthermia. burns. blood and blood pressure. sinuses. cartilage and collagen disorders. fainting disorders. chronic pain. vision disorders. scarring/scar healing/prevention

Fire healing deals a lot with pressure and relaxation: wound cautery. viral and bacterial illness (will start a fever or keep one in check - out of control fevers visit water). hypothermia. heat therapy: massage, hot baths, etc. physical therapy. arthritic/joint disorders, chronic pain

Air healing focuses mostly on areas of the body where oxygen or air pockets are at play: lung and breathing disorders. sinuses. learning, speech and communication, hearing. muscle pains. anxiety. fatigue and chronic fatigue

Earth healing works in grounding, and is also very diverse: mental health. psychiatrics and emotions. reproductive health. labor and delivery. balance and some fainting disorders. occupational therapy. creation of pharmacy products: tinctures, salves, ointments, orals, drops, etc.; creation of splints, casts, and assistive devices

Multi ghouls are cool in that, if they feel the call towards healing, they can lean on any element and pick up skills quickly and easily, depending on their unique makeup. Most assist in general practice medicine, but often blend powers from other elements together to create unique solutions for their patients

*please note no one ever needs be 'fixed,' and having any type of disorder or disability does not make anyone less, especially in the eyes of the abbey. the ghouls of the infirmary seek to help improve quality of life by easing symptoms for those that request it. there is nothing but love and respect for all residents and visitors of the infirmary 🤍

Skincare Ingredients to Reduce Pore Size: A Comprehensive Guide

In this article, we’ll dive into the essential skincare ingredients you need to use to reduce the appearance of large pores.

Let’s explore the role of each ingredient and skincare treatment, and how they help minimise pore size for smoother, healthier skin.

Key Ingredients to Reduce Pore Size

The main ingredients that can help shrink pore size are:

Niacinamide

Vitamin C

Retinol

Exfoliating acids (like glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid)

Sunscreen

Skincare treatments like microneedling

Here’s how these ingredients work to reduce pore size:

The Science of Pore Structure

Pores begin in the deeper layers of the skin in a bowl-like shape. This bowl-like structure is supported by collagen, which is critical to maintaining tight, firm skin.

When collagen levels decline, the support structure weakens, causing the bowl-like shape to expand and the tube-like structure that connects to the skin’s surface to dilate. This dilation makes the pores appear larger.

The solution? Boost collagen production to restore the support structure and tighten the appearance of pores.

Collagen Boosters: Niacinamide, Vitamin C, and Retinol

To prevent enlarged pores, you need ingredients that increase collagen production. Here’s how the top three ingredients help:

Niacinamide: A multi-functional ingredient that not only strengthens the skin barrier but also boosts collagen production to firm the skin and reduce pore size.

Vitamin C: This powerful antioxidant promotes collagen synthesis and fights free radical damage that can degrade collagen over time, helping to keep pores tight.

Retinol: Apart from increasing collagen production, retinol also speeds up skin cell turnover, preventing dead skin cells from clogging pores and making them appear larger.

Treatments That Boost Collagen

Microneedling is a highly effective skincare treatment that triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, leading to increased collagen production and visibly reduced pore size over time.

The Importance of Sunscreen

Without sunscreen, UV rays penetrate the skin, damaging collagen and compromising the support structure of the pores.

Regular use of sunscreen protects your skin from UV damage, preserving collagen levels and minimising the risk of enlarged pores.

Exfoliation: Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Salicylic Acid

Regular exfoliation is key to preventing clogged pores. Chemical exfoliants like glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid dissolve dead skin cells and clear debris from pores, preventing them from enlarging.

Glycolic and lactic acid: These gentle exfoliants help shed dead skin cells and improve skin texture.

Salicylic acid: A stronger exfoliant that penetrates deep into the pores, salicylic acid removes excess oil and grime, acting like a “scoop” to cleanse and unclog pores from within.

The Importance of Makeup Removal

Always ensure you remove makeup before bed. If makeup, dirt, or grime are left on the skin, they can accumulate in the pore’s bowl-like structure, leading to enlarged pores. Double cleanse if needed to make sure all residue is removed.

Avoid Comedogenic Ingredients

Steer clear of skincare products with comedogenic ingredients (those that clog pores). These can accumulate inside the pore and cause further dilation, making the pores appear larger.

The Role of Retinol in Cell Turnover

In addition to boosting collagen, retinol accelerates the rate of keratinization — the process where old skin cells are replaced by new ones.

When this process slows down, old cells can clog pores, increasing their size. Retinol helps ensure a steady turnover of fresh cells, keeping pores clear and minimizing their appearance.

Conclusion

Incorporating the right ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, retinol, exfoliating acids, and sunscreen, along with treatments like microneedling, can significantly reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.

Remember, consistency is key!

sooo im going through of phase where i randomly decided to take a bunch of supplements which we have in the house lmao which i thought was kinda ridiculous and i was doing it somewhat for the shits and giggles w my mom but i be damned its been a week/ week and a half and ive been waking up not feeling as exhausted!!!! which is very rare for me and only happens a few times of the year. and also my brain hasnt been as foggy!! my digestion also seems better!

Women vs. Anti-Aging: Who Will Claim Victory?

As women, the search for eternal youth can feel like a never-ending battle against time. The anti-aging path can be difficult at times, from navigating the maze of skincare products to dealing with societal pressures and internalized expectations. The constant bombardment of advertising offering miracles in a jar exacerbates the confusion, leaving many of us feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.

Women vs. Anti-aging: Never ending story

In the never-ending war against aging, people in their twenties frequently believe they are indestructible, with limitless potential and a bright future ahead. They remember their youthful energy and passion as 26-year-olds.

It's important to remember that collagen naturally declines after the age of 25, which is a reality of life rather than an accident that requires intervention. Just like periods, aging is a normal process. These changes are not evidence of health problems, but rather typical aspects of life's journey. Aging is unavoidable, and one's body changes as time passes.

How can we fight against anti-aging?

To be honest, there is no clear solution to this question. We cannot change the reality that people grow older and aging occurs. However, there is one thing we can do to keep our skin looking beautiful and healthy, which will help you look several years younger.

Maintaining healthy facial skin is key! Here are some suggestion for you:

Change your daily routine:

Prioritize sleep: Adequate rest, at least 7 hours a night, facilitates skin repair, staving off wrinkles.

Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep skin supple and glowing.

Stress management: Find outlets to reduce stress, preventing the onset of fine lines.

Moderate alcohol intake: Limit alcohol consumption to avoid dehydrating the skin.

Select the right beauty regimen: Choose products tailored to your skin type and concerns, such as sunscreen, hydrating masks, and specialized creams.

Simplify your skincare routine: When it comes to skincare, less can often be more. Applying multiple products can overwhelm your skin and lead to unnecessary irritation. That's why it's essential to streamline your routine by focusing on just 1 to 2 products that offer maximum efficiency.

Understanding the problems that many women are facing, such as the desire for simplicity and effectiveness in their skincare routines, Luminea has developed a innovative solution:

Unlocking Radiance: By targeting melanin pigment, Luminea Premium Whitening Cream reveals a brighter, more luminous complexion with just a few applications. Its immediate effects upon use ensure instant radiance, providing you with the confidence to face the day.

Multi-Functional Protection: Beyond its whitening benefits, Luminea Premium Whitening Cream doubles as a moisturizer, effectively concealing blemishes and imperfections. Additionally, it serves as both sunscreen and makeup base, offering comprehensive protection against the sun's harmful rays. With its resistance to sweat, dirt, and summer heat, Luminea Premium Whitening Cream is your all-in-one solution for year-round skincare.

Gentle and Versatile: Crafted with natural ingredients, Luminea Premium Whitening Cream is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for all skin types. Its non-allergenic formula ensures that even the most sensitive skin can benefit from its transformative effects.

Elevate Your Skincare Routine: Simplify your regimen with Luminea Premium Whitening Cream—a versatile solution that not only enhances your skin's radiance but also simplifies your daily routine for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

It's time to shift the narrative surrounding anti-aging and empower women to embrace the beauty of every stage of life. Let's challenge societal norms, debunk myths, and support each other on this journey towards self-acceptance and confidence. Whether it's through sharing our own experiences, advocating for inclusive representation in media, or exploring innovative skincare solutions, every action we take brings us one step closer to redefining aging on our own terms. Join us in celebrating the diversity and resilience of women everywhere as we embrace the true essence of beauty—ageless, timeless, and uniquely our own.

Need Advice

Looking for two different cremes:

-One for little wrinkles/bags under eyes (I'd sleep more if I could but baby🤷‍♀️)

-One for loose skin. (I've worked out the whole time I've lost weight ((100 lbs down)), but again had a baby and the skin just isn't bouncing back.)

I currently drink about 80-120oz of water a way for hydration, I take multi-collagen supplement and vitamins daily, so thats covered but any other thoughts or advice would be awesome. Thank you<3

Hi guys!

Today I wanted to chat about my favourite drugstore foundation! Recently I've been wearing a lot of high end foundations but I decided to have a browse online and see what new makeup releases are out. On Revolution.com I noticed they had finally launched their Skin Silk Foundation , £10.99!

I was lucky enough to receive samples of this foundation back in the beginning of February and really loved it so of course I had to pick up a proper version now. When it comes to affordable foundations I am a massive fan of Makeup Revolution because their foundation formulas really remind me of high end products and yet they have a very affordable price tag.

If you haven't seen this foundation before it is Revolution's first ever serum foundation which brings skincare and makeup into one product. This foundation is a light to buildable formula, giving you a skin like, radiant finish. Personally I love that the foundation has a blurring effect and has a satin finish because I love a glow but like within reason. It is also made with peptides to boost collagen and work to firm, brighten and hydrate the skin. Personally I love a multi purpose product especially when it's a foundation that treats your skin whilst you use it.

If you are looking for an affordable foundation to add to your collection and prefer a more natural makeup look, this foundation could be perfect for you. As always all products mentioned are linked above. Don't forget to use code LUCE20 to get 20% off full priced items.

Lot's of love

Axolotl

There are many things we didn't expect when we entered the galactic stage.

Most species breathing the same atmospheric cocktails but for different gasses was a shocker (this species needs 70% Nitrogen, that one requiring the specific combination of trace elements, etc. Most were Oxygen, but either way the chemists, biologists, and theologians had a field day). A similar reaction was had to all species requiring similar food products, such that there were several foods literally all species could eat (except members with allergies, but what can you do?).

In general the shocks could be summed up as: Sci-fi where all galactic members could live on the same ships/planets with minimal adjustment was 100% feasible,

But on the other hand those were... expected. (If a surprise can be expected)

What we didn't expect was for Humanity to have been there for over 500 000 years.

The other thing we didn't expect was that there name for us was Axolotl.

First we achieved FTL, then we achieved world peace (ish). Look Freedom fighters fighting for their state/ province to be independent of the country that oppressed them for 100 years will continue to fight for freedom, despite countries no longer existing in any meaningful way. But what can you do?

Then first contact was made, a small delegation of Xeno/ Human experts came to earth, told us why they chose now to make contact, explained how the Galactic federation worked (policy of least interference on planets with some stipulations against codified speciesism and slavery, mainly governing inter planetary grievances and space station or ship laws), and invited us to join.

It was shockingly smooth and painless (we were later told that this had been done over 100 times and they study a planet's media and politics for at least 10 years to plan the ideal first contact).

We were happy and excited, and the universe was a wonder. But we noticed an odd, non reverence? that we were being treated with. Aliens would start to bow then stop themselves, begin to speak increadibly formaly and then correct themselves and return to jargon. None of which we saw occur between any other species.

We also saw some aliens that never interacted with us. They would be on ships, planets, stations, see us then run away, we never saw them on the council floor, but there was a throne that was conspicuously empty.

And from what we saw they were beautiful. The consensus on the net was that they were around 7 feet tall, had some kind of multi hued hide (there was no agreement if they were scales, increadibly fine fur, or anything else). Their faces were more similar to ours than any other species, they had the same number of joints and fingers. Finally, they had gossamer wings akin to that of a butterfly, that could fold flat against their bodies.

One man also claimed that he had seen one flying outside a station with no suit, but he was ridiculed.

Any search turned up nothing, and other Aliens dodged the question when it was asked.

It took 10 years for them to speak with us. And they shattered our world.

"We are Salamander, you are Axolotl, but the iodine once so prevalent on Earth has been extinct for over 400 000 years. Your aging process is not the ceasing of biological readiness, but the preparation for metamorphosis. Your skin hangs loose so that your skeleton system has room to grow. Bones soften so they can be rebuilt into a larger more elegant collagen structure. Your teeth fall out so new ones may grow. A long time ago, we went to the stars, millions of us. The process was faulty, and our computers were fried, with no way to find earth again. So we settled on a new planet, thrived and built the galactic federation. But we were always searching for our home. We found it several thousand years ago, and what we saw shocked us.

No sign of our civilization remained, there were no elders, just children, living to at most a fifth of a proper lifespan. and there were no Kencha fruits to extend your lives and make you whole.

Oh but the lives you lived!

The strength of Arm and Mind that once would have been spread across half a millennia condensed into a few short years!

So we left our poor grandchildren, as we would any species at that stage.

But now the Salamander can speak with the Axolotl.

Should you desire it, we have the Iodine."
