I am 2 summers over 30 but I would like to start using anti-aging products that prevent or eliminate wrinkles,fine lines,etc,. I read about Imedeen-it carries topical products as well as tablets,does this brand really work? While you are at it,please suggest a brand that would not be exteremey expensive.Please suggest a brand you have actually tried,thanks.
The only product that has been approved by the FDA is Retina A, start with .025 mg once daily, increase to 2 x’s daily, then switch to .050 mg once daily, then twice daily. If you under 40 years old, your insurance will probably pay for it, because it is also used for acne, but I’m in my 50’s and it was prescribed for wrinkles, skin and my insurance company wouldn’t cover it.
This works if you use it daily.

Well, I like most sports, but I suck at them because for whatever reason I didnt care for them until I was about 13-14 and therefore havent been playing any of them when most people were. Still, everyone else has had about 4+ more years of experience then me, do I even have a small chance of catching up? I literally know nothing about most sports; I dont even watch most of them on tv. Yikes, I know, but if Im devoted do I have a chance?
depends on which sport.
if it’s football/soccer/baseball- you can do it
if it’s something like having to do w/ your flexibility- i.e. gymnastics/kung fu- no
go get buff and learn the techniques, you’ll do fine.
i started kung fu when I was 13 and raped blue belts while I was like an orange belt. if u put ur mind n body into it, you’ll do well.

I am looking for fitness classes that are great to help you to tone up I would love a flatter stomach. I have had a go at body pump but that class kills me. So if you know any fitness classes that have really toned u up or you pals. Please let me know?
In order to tone up the best form of physical activity is weight training. Its the best and most effective method of toning and burning body fat. Aerobic classes such as body pump, spinning etc are brilliant but to really firm up you should get a weights programme done specifically for the areas you want to tone up. For your tummy you need to burn body fat and then tone, sit ups will not tone your tummy on their own unless you are burning fat consistently and resistant type exercises are by far the best. If you going to a gym get the instructor to do a programme for you 25-30min 3x a week is suffice. Or get a fit ball and do resistant exercises at home – you will see results within 2-3 weeks.Good luck.

What is the best products to buy for a full shoulder repair? HGH Gluclosomine Condroriton MSM and other products and brand names that might help. This is my 3rd surgery so i don’t want scar tissue to be another problem any help would be greatly appriciated.Quality is most important but where can i find the best products for the best prices
HGH is human growth hormone. The supplemental forms of this in the US are actually taken from the glands and brain of pigs. There is very little known about what the spectrum of effects could be. Clearly there can be benefits, judging from people I know who have used it. It is pretty obvious to me too that it could exacerbate certain diseases, although who knows which ones (I’ll bet on any kind of tumor, cancer, and reproductive issues). Most probably, it causes your own body’s natural production of HGH to slow down as the supplement floods your system, and when you stop taking it, there’s a good chance your body won’t be able to pick up the slack. Probably won’t hurt you, I don’t think its worth the experimentation.
So, as for good stuff: there are a few very effective nutrients for repair that I would suggest.
***Please note it is best to wait until several days after your final surgery to begin a regimen because many supplements will thin the blood and you need that to be clotting for a while after the surgery.***
MSM (1000mg in 2 doses a day, or more with a Dr’s advice) – is a sulfur compound that is supportive of tissue repair and proper inflammatory reactions. Not sure about this right after surgery, wait 7 days or more to start it, use 1 dose daily to start and work up).
vitamin C – (500 mg once or even twice a day, or as rec’d by a Dr) – the "helper" vitamin that makes other nutrients more efficient. it may reduce blood clotting, so don’t use it right away (see above)
Biosil by Natrol – this is a special type of silica. Natrol is touting BioSil as a beauty supplement, but the company that sold it for years before Natrol told the whole story: it helps in repair and maintenance of connective tissue (ligiments, cartilage, skin) and is used in the building of bones. This stuff is amazing, but it will seriously thin the blood.
The best prices and quality can usually be found in a good local health food store. Try to find one in your area that is independent or a co-op and has staff in a vitamin section who can guide you around the shelves. They will often have the best prices overall, as the shipping/handling and even the sale prices online are often not good. Also, generally vitamins need to be stored/shipped and handled in a temperature and time sensitive manner and who knows with online delivery if they’re stored in 120 degree storage unit in Arizona before they are shipped! Stores buy directly from the brands (speaking from experience, here since I’ve been an enthusiast for years).
Good brands for MSM and vitamin C:
Jarrow, Bluebonnet, Natural Factors, Soloray, Nature’s Way, Country Life.
Try the homeopathic remedy Arnica Montana 200c potency before and after surgery to encourage proper blood-setting and prevent huge bruises and swelling. At the store they will tell you how to use them (little pellets usually).
Good luck! Visualize little cells healing other little cells, it may help your body get the picture

Of these two, which one is a better anti- aging formula that has the most benifits? And which one of these works the fastest?
Check this out..
Product: Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream
Use: As an anti-aging cream that smoothes skin, lifts sagging eras and restores elasticity
Price: $24.00
Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: B
What I liked about it:
- Great light, fruity scent
- Non-sticky product texture that’s thick but doesn’t leave a sticky film on my face and neck
- Very moisturizing
- A little goes a long way, and you don’t need to use a lot of it.
What I didn’t like about it:
- Can’t positively say if it actually helped to lift or restore elasticity
- Jar packaging isn’t convenient, I wish it came in travel-friendly pump form.
Somebody once asked me what my anti-aging secret was, and I told them that it was a combination of immaturity and sunscreen. My sunscreen choice since I was a teenager has been Olay Complete. I’ve always had good luck with Olay products and love trying anything that they come out with because I’ve been a long-term user of the brand, so I got the chance to try Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream I was stoked. Get me on that Olay train!
I have to say the biggest thing about this cream is that it smells and feels great. The scent is light but not overwhelming or chemical. It’s light and fruity and a pleasure to put on at night. The texture of the product once applied to my skin is also great. I don’t like the sticky feeling some lotions have – I especially can’t stand having a sticky neck, yuck! But this cream leaves my skin feeling dry and moisturized.
The active ingredients are an amino-peptide complex and an intracellular fortifier made up of hyaluronic acid. Like with other anti-aging products that I’ve tested, I can’t really say if Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream actually lifted sagging areas and restored elasticity. It’s really hard to quantify, especially if you don’t have lots of areas sagging areas to start with (gimme a few years though, ha!)
The biggest points with this cream are that I like the texture, scent and the fact that it does provide excellent moisturization.
You might like it if:
- You are a fan of the Olay brand
- You like your moisturizers to feel dry and not sticky after application
- You need a heavier moisturizer on your face and neck.
Okay so based on this I would buy it over Neutrogena. They werent in this blog at all..not for anti aging anyway

I took the philadelphia police test, and wanted to know do you take the physical fitness test before the academy or during the philadelphia police academy? Also what would they do if you are underweight?
Any agency that will potentially hire you will mandate you pass a physical agility test. They will also send you in for a comprehensive physical exam. Reason? Because for you to be covered by the local pension plan, you can not have any existing pre-employment defect that would prevent you from preforming your duties and put them in a position of liability.
As for underweight. You need to carb up as much as possible. Lots of fruits, pasta, rice and moderate exercise.
Maybe also see your doctor and express your concerns about your weight and see if they can recommend diet supplements that are safe and effective for your needs.

Also, will sports leagues (owners and players associations) ever come to an agreement where HGH blood testing will be administered to players?
HGH actually MAKES new muscle cells, whereas steroids only increase existing ones. However, the side effects of excessive HGH use are permanent and worse, unlike steroids.
HGH is NOT detectable, so there are no tests. HGH must be used for at least 6 months to see results, and at a dose large enough to be effective. This is why real HGH use is reserved for the wealthy, dedicated or stupid. I must emphasize wealthy.
