Vemma diary: May 2009

Super fruit mangosteen has another role to play

I started taking Vemma everyday in the hope it would cure or help lessen the number of migraines I suffer from and two years later I can truly say that this liquid nutritional supplement, that includes the fruit mangosteen, has been my saving grace and I feel as if I couldn’t live without it now. My migraines have indeed lessened and as a result I feel to some degree that a big weight has been lifted from my shoulders; I no longer need to worry as nearly as much about when the next one is going to rear its ugly head as I have faith that Vemma is helping to keep them at bay.

It’s crazy to think that a tangerine-sized fruit can be so powerful and effective at helping to combat the frequency of migraines, but it really is quite simple. Mangosteen can potentially correct abnormal serotonin functions in blood vessels that lead to migraines. Mangosteen is a super fruit for this reason and for many other reasons, and that is why I find myself increasing my daily shot to twice a day – one in the morning with breakfast and one in the evening with dinner. This is because mangosteen aids muscle and joint health, and pain can be reduced by the anti-inflammatory properties of the fruit. Also this rare fruit improves cell communication. The xanthones in mangosteen improve the body’s cell to cell communication, which speeds up healing and repair. This is exactly what I need while I’m undergoing chiropractic treatment on my back and neck!

Having sessions three times a week has meant I am often sore. Muscles are being released and bones are being re-aligned. However, my body has coped well and at my three-month progress examination, the x-rays showed a lot of improvement. Sometimes I feel like the class swot as my progress has been maybe quicker than others in a similar position. According to my sports therapist I have good muscle structure (from going to the gym) and my muscles have released quickly allowing the chiropractor to be able to get to and work on my spine quicker. I may have had a lot of aches and pains throughout the treatment, sometimes quite considerably, but at the same time, I feel as if my body is strong and healthy, and this, I believe, has a lot to do with taking two shots of Vemma every day. So I may have started taking Vemma because of my migraines, but Vemma has another role to play now – helping to heal and repair my muscles which in turn is helping to re-align my spine.
