Carbohydrates are not all created equal. Some of them rise more than others the amount of circulating blood sugar. The body response is to create insulin in the pancreas. If this happens too often, an insulin resistance may develop: the pancreas produces more insulin than the body needs. This is called diabetes type 2 and it is not good for you.

Supplements as defined by name, help us make up for the missing vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other essential nutrients in our food. Even eating the best quality food is hard to imagine that we can cover the large spectrum of nutrients one needs in order to preserve health. Combined with chemicals and pollutants in the modern environment makes nutritional supplements essential to wellbeing. Quality of the supplements is essential. The unregulated supplements industry thrives on useless products. Baseline Nutritionals is up to the task of producing quality products that tackles also on the efficacy side. Similarly, more focussed on your mind performance is dr. Ray Sahelian's "Mind Power Rx " supplement. Dr. Sahelian is well known for "designing" highly effective supplements.
