This is a great formula. And even better that I have to take it only twice per day and don't have to buy vitamin d.

I cannot tolerate multivitamins. I can tolerate some of them separately, but once a vitamin formulation is put together in one pill, I have trouble sleeping. I have no idea what specifically about multivitamin supplements would be to blame, but I've tried expensive and highly bioavailable to cheap. Emergen-C is the only thing I can tolerate and it does the job.

I do combine a daily dose of this with a calcium supplement and the grossnan nasal irrigator to prevent sinus infections. I was a chronic sinus infection sufferer who has less than one infection per year, usually due to my slacking off from the nasal irrigator.

I love the tangerine and the pomegranate. Each one has a different mix of vitamins and values so I tend to switch them off and typically have 3 flavors on hand.

Admittedly, I've not purchased these shoes myself since I was unable to find my size. I found a half size smaller to give them a test run on the track in the store and I have to say I was motivated to buy a pair to rotate in with my trusty Gel Kayano 16s. I'm an overpronator with high arches with a history of plantar fasciitis and inflamed bursitis on my right knee.

Sports drinks have far too many chemicals, additives and sugar. Nature's coconut water has more of the minerals and electrolytes you need. By the way, I do like the mango flavored water. Just a slight juice flavor--very pleasant.

I have used many NOW brand products and find them to be very high quality supplements that work very well. I've used the Glucosamine, the Bromelain and the D-Mannose and all were very effective.

I would be very curious to see if a combination of kinesio tape and bromelain helped with healing of a sprained ankle. I tried this supplement, since I am the sportsmedinfo.net guinea pig along with many of my athletic friends and family members, for an inflamed bursa of the knee and it did result in reducing pain and inflammation. I then used kinesio tape which seemed to extend the relief of that injury. I can't yet say if it "cured" the inflamed bursa but then that is probably due to running hills so I need to alternate hill days with some flat land days. But so far I have found relief from this pineapple enzyme.

I have used many NOW brand products and find them to be very high quality supplements that work very well. I've used the Glucosamine, the Bromelain and the D-Mannose and all were very effective. So when they say they manufacture to high standards, I believe it.

It provides functional support which is not to be mistaken for restricting movement--an important distinction when there are times you need to restrict movement.

But your muscles feel more energized and less fatigued. I have also used it to prevent injury flare up and had others try it as well. It did well in these tests. It also it good for water sports, triathlons and has enormous adhesion powers. This was developed for athletes and triathletes and it delivers.

You have to like slipping in the ice pack in the area you want. This is very easy to walk around in unless you have the ice pack on your arch. Warm the pack in the microwave or keep it in the freezer.

Do keep in mind that this works better for a man's foot or larger women's foot. It is effective in its delivery of cold and heat therapy to a swollen ankle. The long velcro straps allow it to be individualize which is an advantage.

It is very comfortable to the area. It doesn't stay cold for 40 minutes but it does work fast to deliver pain relief and reduce swelling.

If you need a stability shoe and are prone to over pronation or shin splints, this is the shoe many runners will point to. I do wince when I pay for them but am always glad I took the plunge. I alternate between these and a pair of New Balance since I am a long distance runner.
