Your First Servings of a Nutritional Supplement

Your First Servings of a Nutritional Supplement
This article provides some suggestions on taking your first
serving of a nutritional supplement. It focuses on
starting an Aloe-Vera and Sea Vegetable supplement but can
be applied to starting a variety of liquid nutritional
supplements. It shows you how to get the best and the most
from every subsequent serving you take.

So, how much should you take as your first serving?

First, if you have not already done so, complete a Health
Evaluation Questionnaire and determine your health index.
Once you complete the questionnaire and have determined
your health index, you will have an idea of the amount and
frequency of a liquid nutritional supplement is best for
you. If you simply taste the supplement to see if it is
right for you, a serving of one to two ounces is adequate.

Some general guidelines about your first serving:

1. Gently shake the bottle of your nutritional supplement.
This will mix the tiny bits of sea vegetable pulp with the
aloe vera. You should shake the bottle before every
serving.

2. For your first servings, use a measuring cup. We have a
tendency to under or overestimate how much is one, two,
four or eight ounces so using a measuring cup will allow us
to reset our estimating process.

3. Use the same glass every time. Once you've measured out
the specific amount that you want to consume, pour it into
your favorite juice or wine glass. Note the amount from
the measuring cup and how much that amount fills your
favorite glass. Doing this for a few days will eliminate
your need to use the measuring cup. Note that you do not
need to worry about taking too much of a whole food
product. It is like eating oranges or bananas. You're not
at risk of overdosing with a whole food.

4. Take a small sip and hold the liquid nutritional
supplement under your tongue. Wait about 10 seconds and
repeat several times. Special cells under the tongue
absorb nutrients directly into the bloodstream. You will
almost be able to feel the supplement 'disappearing' under
your tongue. It's actually being absorb by these special
cells. The more quickly you body absorbs the supplement,
the more likely your body needs it!

5. Store your open container of Aloe Vera and Sea Vegetable
liquid nutritional supplement in the refrigerator. It's a
whole food that has enzymes, amino acids, and other live
nutrients. Keeping it refrigerated will ensure it
maintains its potency. In addition to refrigerating a whole
food, since it is a whole food the nutritional supplement
can be taken on either an empty stomach or with meals.
However, when first starting out, taking it on an empty
stomach may cause some discomfort with those that have a
stomach condition or any stomach toxicity. It could make
your stomach feel queasy. If this occurs, you can reduce
or eliminate the feeling by eating a little bit of food.
The Aloe Vera in the supplement can also be used after a
meal to aid digestion and ease any stomach upset or
heartburn.

Before you drink your First Serving, take a moment to
examine how you are feeling. Sense your energy levels, the
degree of pain you may be experiencing, or how other
symptoms may be bothering you at the moment. After taking
your nutritional supplement (remember holding small sips
under the tongue for maximum absorption), take another
assessment of how you feel. Some people enjoy the benefits
right away, others within a few days, and others over a
period of a few weeks. The benefits depend on your body
and the amount of toxins within it.

It is worth discussing toxicity for a moment. If you are
concerned about heavy metals or toxicity (various elements
within your body that have build up over time that your
body should have eliminated but could not for a number of
reasons) then you may be concerned that an Aloe Vera and
Sea Vegetable combination may cause your body to detoxify
too quickly, leaving you with an uncomfortable cleansing
action. Aloe Vera by itself can have a laxative effect.
Sea Vegetables on the other hand can cause constipation in
some people. Combining the two into one liquid nutritional
supplement may counterbalance these effects. However, you
may still experience a bit of cleansing because of the
heavy metals or toxins stored within your body. The remedy
is simple. Cut your dose in half and add a little bit more
each time you take your supplement until you reach your
recommended dosage. The cleansing is a natural part of
getting your body back to its most natural state. Not
everyone experiences cleansing but for those that do,
follow the guidelines and enjoy the benefits. It's
important to continue taking the supplement so just cut
back a bit, then add a little more each day.

Remember to take the Health Evaluation Questionnaire and
determine your health index for the recommend amount of
your nutritional supplement. Hold it under your tongue for
maximum absorption and take it each day as recommended.
The benefits to you of any nutritional supplement will come
over time. Follow these guidelines and enjoy your Way to
Wellness.
