PRETTY IN A CUP: RejuvaBlend K-Cups with Biotin For Strong Hair & Nails

April 8, 2017 · Leave a Comment

 

Women under stress often notice their hair and nails often become lackluster and brittle. Biotin remedies this problem, kicking hair & nail growth into high gear and even skin glows again. But not just any Biotin pill gets results: the key to lush hair, eyelash, eyebrow, and nail growth is finding a high-absorption, bioavailable form of Biotin and then to take it daily. RejuvaBlend developed a way to sneak a daily dose of a high-absorption Biotin into…wait for it…a rich, smooth coffee. RejuvaBlend coffee is like pretty in a K-Cup.

The only thing better than a quick beauty fix? A quick beauty fix included in your coffee. Like a magic beauty potion, RejuvaBlend coffee remedies a big beauty complaint of many busy women: stress taking a toll on their appearance. Burning the proverbial candle at both ends often leads to the depletion of the body’s reserves, leading to lackluster hair and nail growth.

WHAT IS BIOTIN?

Biotin is a water-soluble B Vitamin (B7) which is associated with glowing skin, thicker, fuller, and longer hair and the growth of longer and stronger nails. Biotin also supports the health of the nerves, digestive tract, metabolism, and cells. Because it is water soluble, it should be taken daily.

WHAT DOES BIOTIN DO FOR HAIR GROWTH?

According to Dr. Richard K. Scher, Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College has spoken extensively about Biotin. Hair that is brittle, damaged, not growing or even experiencing hair loss can have many causes, and Biotin seems to have the ability to halt various types hair loss and encourage regrowth in most women, regardless of the reason behind the loss. Whether hair loss is due to postpartum, stress or poor diet, a bioavailable Biotin can help. Want to regrow overly thinned out eyebrows? Biotin can help with that too.

How Biotin works is unclear. Dr. Scher believes Biotin supports the building of the keratin structure of hair and nails. I thought that sounded promising since my hair looks so much better after a Keratin conditioning treatment.

WHO CAN USE MORE BIOTIN?

Almost everyone. Unlike some B-Vitamins, Biotin is considered safe even in larger doses. But a multi-vitamin and even many B-Complex supplements often do not contain even the minimum daily requirement of Biotin, much less the amount that enhances hair and nail growth.

HOW MUCH BIOTIN IS NECESSARY FOR HAIR GROWTH?

The daily recommended dosage of Biotin required to grow hair is at least 2.5 mg (or 2,500 mcg). Rejuvablend contains 2928mcg.

I was surprised to see that my highly reputable brand and rather expensive daily multi-vitamin pill only contains 33% of the daily requirement of Biotin! After some research, I see my daily multivitamin is not the only one that does not supply as much Biotin as might benefit me. Even a well-known hair-growth vitamin contains only about 60% of the daily recommended dose of Biotin.

ABOUT BIOTIN DEFICIENCY

Few people have a severe Biotin deficiency, but it can occur if you take antioxidant supplements such as Lipoic acid (AKA Alpha Lipoic Acid). If you consume lots of antioxidants in the form of white tea, green tea or as a supplement, these can all increase your need for biotin.  Lipoic Acid, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory supplement that is an anti-aging insider beauty secret, made famous by Yale celebrity dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone within his beauty/health and anti-aging diet. Since Alpha Lipoic Acid is such as wonderful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory supplement, it makes sense to supplement with more Biotin than to cut back on beauty supplements like ALA.

Certain medications and medical conditions can impair or block the absorption of Biotin within your system. If you have such medical problems, a bioavailable Biotin such as found in Rejuvablend can be an excellent daily Biotin source.

WHY BIOTIN IN YOUR COFFEE?

While reputable brand Biotin vitamins are available, there are several advantages to getting Biotin from RejuvaBlend coffee:

  1. EASY AND CONSISTENT: You likely drink coffee every day, so it not only makes it easier to get your Biotin, you will likely not miss a daily dose of Biotin. Consistency is key with Biotin: if you’re serious about growing your hair out, don’t skip doses.
  2. BETTER ABSORPTION: As a B Vitamin, Biotin has better absorption as a liquid that a pill or capsule. Liquid consumption of B Vitamins has twice the absorption rate of pill or capsule form vitamins. Rejuvablend has a proprietary delivery system that maximizes the absorption of Biotin into the body, making the most out of this beauty-making B.
  3. EASY TO SWALLOW: Many Biotin vitamin pills or hair growth vitamins are big, chalky and hard to swallow.
  4. COST: Rejuvablend K-Cups are a comparable price or less expensive than standard K-Cups but with the bonus of a high-grade, proven effective, bioavailable Biotin.
  5. TASTE: Rejuvablend is Tasty! Made with 100% Arabica coffee. It is a medium-dark roast that is not bitter and has a caramel note.

HOW MUCH BIOTIN IS TOO MUCH BIOTIN?

While it’s hard to have too much Biotin, it is possible. The recommended usage is one to two cups of RejuvaBlend coffee which is enough Biotin to amp up both hair and nail growth, more than that is not necessary.

ABOUT REJUVABLEND K-CUPS

RejuvaBlend Nature Cups K-Cups are 100% recyclable and work with any Keurig Brewer machine, old or new. They come 16 K-Cups to a box.

HOW DOES REJUVABLEND COFFEE TASTE?

I like it! A smooth, dark, rich taste with no afterbite. There is a note of caramel but it is not too sweet.

CONCLUSION

I found RejuvaBlend coffee to be tasty, smooth and delicious without an aftertaste; there is nothing medicinal tasting about this coffee! Hair, skin, and nails all respond well to Biotin, especially when taken with a balanced meal containing other B Vitamin rich foods like eggs, whole grain, cheese, and soy. Having my Biotin in my morning coffee with breakfast ensures that I get this water-soluble vitamin daily. Longer hair, fuller eyebrows, batworthy lashes, and healthy nails, here I come!

Health: Effective Natural Products ENP Super B-Complex Liquid

October 31, 2016 · 3 Comments

B Vitamins have gotten more attention recently because of their impact on brain function and energy levels, their role in combating stress, regulating metabolism and nerve function, and, of course, their beauty benefits. Some expensive Vitamin B supplements are available marketed towards improved hair and nail growth as well as for promoting youthful, glowing skin.

WHY TAKE A VITAMIN B SUPPLEMENTAL COMPLEX?

Many women including myself have inadequate levels of one or more Vitamin B’s, leading to feeling tired, sluggish, and just mentally foggy. Some seek a multi-vitamin or B Complex supplement to address general tiredness in the hopes of gaining more energy. A Vitamin B Complex can be especially beneficial when taken in liquid form instead of capsules or pills. These tablet form vitamins do provide some benefit but do not absorb nearly as well as a liquid Vitamin B Complex. One liquid complex we especially like is Effective Natural Products ENP Super B-Complex Liquid.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH ENP VITAMIN B-COMPLEX LIQUID

I have long struggled with low Vitamin B levels; it got worse as I burned the proverbial candle at both ends in grad school. I have gotten Vitamin B12 injections at the doctor, and post bloodwork follow-up calls from said freaked-out doctor urging me to go out and buy a Vitamin B Super Complex RIGHT NOW and start to take it daily. These phone calls include warnings of what can go wrong with low B levels including the risk of nerve damage and low red blood cell production. The doctor also told me I’d be less tired if I take Vitamin B, so now I do so regularly, and supplements do help. I can usually tell quickly if a Vitamin B supplement works for me or not by three factors:

  1. I quickly feel like I have some physical energy and during the hours that follow, increased mental focus
  2. My metabolism kicks into high gear
  3. In a few weeks, my otherwise stubby, brittle, weak fingernails start to grow like weeds

I’ve tried all kinds of Vitamin B supplements ranging from drugstore generics to super expensive brands including some supplements geared towards hair and nail growth. So far, on the drugstore brands, I probably have improved levels of Vitamin B medically speaking, but I don’t feel much improvement in my energy, stamina, and metabolism. I saw no improvement in my hair growth and my fingernails were still weak and brittle. I have been on a more expensive brand of Vitamin B, which does improve my energy levels to a degree and my nails grow fast. But even this expensive Vitamin B complex doesn’t contain all of the Vitamin B range I was told by the doctor to take, so I still have some gaps despite taking a B Complex daily.

SOME BENEFITS OF ENP VITAMIN B-COMPLEX LIQUID

ENP Vitamin B-Complex Liquid has all of the B Vitamins I was told I needed in a complex. That is a good start. It is annoying to be taking a B Complex and realize you are still missing some important ones. Each of these B Vitamins works with other Bs in the supplement to convert food to energy.

HIGH ABSORPTION RATE
Another vital feature is ENP’s liquid B-Complex is has a very high absorption rate. I always knew it was better to get your B’s from food instead of supplements whenever possible, but didn’t realize even amongst supplements that the form of supplement is highly correlated to how well the body can use it to its’ benefit. Pills and capsules must be digested, which doesn’t leave as much Vitamin B left to get into your bloodstream. But a liquid has a much better chance of your body absorbing the nutrients it like food, a far superior means of attaining Vitamin B. Statistically speaking, liquid absorption beats out pills and capsule by a long shot, it is more than twice as effective.

A superior feature to ENP’s Liquid B-Complex amongst Liquid Vitamins is that is it cold-processed to preserve the nutrient values intact. This is a rarity amongst liquid vitamins.

VEGETARIAN-FRIENDLY FORMULA
Vegetarians often have difficulty obtaining adequate levels of Vitamin B strictly from their diet alone. Unfortunately, many supplements, especially capsules use animal products. ENP Liquid B-Complex contains no animal products and is considered vegetarian-friendly.

NO FILLERS OR ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS
According to their packaging and website, ENP Liquid B-Complex does not contain artificial color or sweeteners, yeast, wheat, sugar or dairy products, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, treenuts, peanuts, or soy.

TASTE AND TEXTURE
ENP Liquid B-Complex mixes well into juice or tastes good alone. It is not gritty, slimy or chalky, it tastes and feels like a mixed blend juice.

MORE ON ENP LIQUID B-COMPLEX INGREDIENTS
Eight B Vitamins function together, but not all supplements contain all of them. Here are all eight B Vitamins in this complex and what each of them does:

  • B1 (Thiamine) works with the other Bs to turn food into energy
  • B2 (Riboflavin) is a co-enzyme required by certain vital proteins to function.
  • B3 (Niacin) regulates cholesterol. A lack of Niacin can result in anemia, headaches, and tiredness.
  • B5 (Pantothenic Acid) converts food to energy, specifically synthesizing and metabolizing proteins, carbohydrates, and fats
  • B6 (Pyridoxine) works to convert food to energy
  • B7 (Biotin) is responsible for maintaining proper blood sugar levels
  • B9 (Folate) also known as Folic Acid, it is involved in DNA, red blood cell, and RNA production. Folate prevents anemia
  • B12 (Cobalamin) maintains the brain, nervous system, hair, skin, and nails

Other ingredients:

Aloe Vera is exceptionally good for you because it contains nutrients for cleansing and repair of the body and the reducing of inflammation. Drinking Aloe Vera also makes skin look radiant. I could never quite stomach drinking Aloe Vera Juice drinks, but find it doable within this supplement liquid.

Choline helps synthesize cell membrane components. Women tend to not get the recommended intake of choline, especially postmenopausal women.

Inositol is a vitamin-like substance found in plants. It works to balance body chemicals and thereby promotes hair growth and reduces insomnia, attention disorders, and depression.

Dimethylglycine is an amino acid found in liver and beans. It is believed to function with the immune system to reduce stress and inflammation in the body. If you are pregnant or nursing, talk to your doctor about how much Dimethylglycine (DMG) intake is safe for you.

TRYING THE SUPPLEMENT:

SERVING: Shake the bottle well and drink one ounce (one capful) alone or in juice once a day. Can be mixed with juice or consumed directly.

– Taste: A sweet, non-acidic somewhat citrusy taste. Tastes good by itself as well if you are not a daily juice drinker.
– Smell: like a non-descript fruit juice, pleasant.
– Texture: Not quite as thick as a nectar yet thicker than orange juice in consistency, but not slimy or gelatinous. Not chalky or gritty. Mixes well into my morning juice without being detectable or feeling slimy when swallowing it.

Easy to drink, it blends into my juice without stirring, and it is not particularly detectable in flavor or texture in grapefruit or other citrus juices or juice blends.

RESULTS
I was very pleased with the results of ENP Vitamin B-Complex Liquid! I have been using an expensive combination of Vitamins to supplement my Vitamin B needs, and while they have helped, I still did not feel like I had much energy. ENP Vitamin B-Complex Liquid seems to make my mental focus clearer, and I feel more awake during the day, similar to how I feel when I have an afternoon cup of coffee but without the caffeine. My energy levels are more even, and I don’t feel a suddenly exhausted crash at mid-day. I have been using ENP Vitamin B-Complex for about a week now, but I only felt I needed a cup of afternoon coffee one a day this week instead of my daily routine of multiple cups of coffee during the day, which for me is wonderful! For a 2-3 cups of coffee per day person to just have morning coffee and the B-Complex liquid in my juice is pretty impressive results in my book. ENP Vitamin B-Complex Liquid comes in a 32-ounce bottle, so I am excited to see the results after an entire month of use and beyond!

Of course, consult your physician before starting this or any other vitamin or dietary supplement.
