Adapton

I was just curious about this substance. Ran across it in reference book I have called "Disease Prevention and Treatment" published by Life Extension Media. It says an adaptogen 'is a substance that helps the body deal with and recover from stress. By balancing various organ systems, herbal adaptogens also help us feel more vital and energetic.' Adapton is a product used mostly in Europe and Japan. Active ingredient Garum amoricum extract which 'acts as a precursor to endorphins and other neurotransmitters that exert a regulatory effect on the nervous system.' Works at the cellular level....What is garum? It's a deep sea fish!

Fry me up some Garum!

I know I need to do better at my fish intake. Supplements are great, but you have to be really smart about the balance and synergy of it all. Excesses of isolated vitamins produce the same effects as deficiencies. I have found most doctors aren't really all that into checking for optimal vitamin/mineral usage. Just checking for deficiency.

Anyways, day two of 15K training. The training schedule called for a 2 mile run which I did on the treadmill thank heavens since it is 27 freaking degrees outside in what is supposed to be Florida! Did it in 25:32. And I'm on Ch 9 of 1st Nephi!
