B Record Plus Review...

I have just been ask to try and review a new energy drink called B Record Plus and as a runner who is always tired and also eats to much sweet thing I jumped at the chance.Here below is my online diary of what I thought.


Day one:

My first thought on seeing this product was can this 10ml bottle really work? being a bit of a cake addict I had half a brownie before breakfast then remembering to take this drink.The taste was a lovely and sweet in which reminded me of caramel/vanilla taste.After taking this I had a bit of a cotton taste in my mouth, but what surprised me most was I didn't feel hungry and at 12 o clock I made myself to have some breakfast....

Day Two/ Three/Four:

Sorted out the cotton taste by sipping a bit of water straight away after and it's fine now.Still a feeling of fullness which is great because the only reason I eat lots of sweet things is because I'm always hungry .I found myself having to make myself eat some biscuits with a cup of tea and not really enjoying them.Even text my mum to say I've found her a great new product to try.Side effects is it caused me constipation.


Day Five/Six/Seven:

Had to stop taking it as it cause me a laxative effect and not sure if it was having it every day or not suitable for me...

Day eight:

Started it again but going to take it every few days,until finished as I can feel the side effects coming back

Even though this product has not suited me completely I think it's a great product and would/have recommend it to others. 

This is what I found out:

• I wasn't as tired when using it.
• I felt full when using it leading me not picking on sweet things all the time.
• No hunger pains.

All in all this is a great product and I would have brought it and use it to help me lose a bit of weight and keep my energy levels up but as it don't suit me I wont be ....

But I would recommend it to anyone as a great product and tell them to try it for at least a month to see how they go...

B Record Plus is a liquid food supplement that’s been developed by international pharmaceutical company sigma-tau to provide sustained intellectual and physical energy for run down people.

 

It has been developed using established data; has a sustained effect (unlike other temporary boost energy drinks), has no caffeine and is made from naturally occurring substances including:

• Vitamin B12
• Four amino acids - L-Glutamine, L-Serine, L-Theorine and L-Arginine
• L-Carnitine

B Record Plus reaches its full potential within 2-3 days and it’s recommended that you take it for ten days, though you can take it for as long as you like.

It’s recommended for people who need an extra energy boost and is ideal for:

• Busy mums 
• Mothers recovering from having a baby 
• People moving house 
• People sitting exams 
• People recovering from an injury 
• Business people working under intense pressure 

It’s also suitable for people over 12 years of age.

It can be bought from their website at brecordplus with ten days of the supplement being sold for £12.99 - still cheaper then having a Red Bull or a latte a day!

How B Record Plus works:

B Record Plus aids your body’s metabolism. Metabolism is a set of chemical reactions that occur in our cells needed to maintain life.

Metabolic processes are important for the release and storage of energy and for the reproduction and repair of cells.

The rate of recovery and the ability of a body to repair itself is related to the speed and efficiency of the body’s metabolic processes. For metabolic processes to be at the best, a body needs the right amount of micronutrients.

B Record Plus is a specific balance of micronutrients developed using more than 60 years of knowledge of how the body works and what affects it.

Metabolic processes can be slowed down by not having enough micronutrients by the following factors:

• Reduced intake of nutrients due to poor diet.
• Ageing – which reduces the efficiency of your metabolism and the absorbtion of micronutrients.
• Disease – which results in oxidative stress caused by the body’s response to disease conditions
• Increased demand due to periods of high energy need, i.e. exercise, convalescence and periods of stress 

As a result our bodies during these periods crave more micronutrients than they can get through a normal balanced diet. B Record Plus helps to top them up.

Here’s how each ingredient in each bottle of B Record Plus helps to give you sustainable energy.

Ingredients	Amount in each bottle	Properties
L-Carnitine	200mg	Optimises metabolic activity to increase energy supply. Plays a fundamental role transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria where they can be used to make energy.
L-Arginine HCL	100mg	Participates in the synthesis of creatine, an important energy substrate for muscle contraction.
L-glutamine	60mg	Plays an important role in energy production and protein metabolism. Essential for cellular metabolism in central nervous system.
L-Serine	40mg	Especially important to proper functioning of the brain and central nervous system by serving at substrates for the formation of neurotransmitters L-Serine is an amino acid required for fat metabolism , neuronal membrane function and cell to cell communication.
L-Threonine	10mg	Essential amino acid especially important to proper functioning of the brain and central nervous system. Precursor for neurotransmitter glycine
Hydroxicobalmin (vit B12)	2.5mg	Favours fats, carbohydrates and amino-acid metabolism . It supports blood formation. Protects nerves.

B Record Plus comes in packs of ten bottles that you take one a day. You just twist off the cap, shake it and drink it.

The best time to use it is before breakfast on an empty stomach and the minimum time to take it is about ten days, though it will start working after two or three days. There’s nothing to stop you continuing to take it.

B Record Plus, which is currently on sale across Europe and the US, was launched on June 8th in the UK with Nell McAndrew, who was also the first person here to try it.

I was sent this product for free in exchange for an honest review and was not paid for this post...

Diet and Fitness Mondays.,

Hi everyone it's been a mad weekend can you believe I used all of my photo space on uploading loads of the same photos and not shrinking them to size! 

Nearly there deleting and shrinking older post it seams like forever and I have still used 58% so still a long way to go...Anyway I've teamed up with mumentum this week properly as I only found it last Sunday and  was trying my own linky at the time,its a great way of getting all us mums who want to get rid of our mum tums together....

So if you want to visit New Num Online where I first found mumentums or you can join in at the bottom of my page as the linky is shared between all the people who join in. On Twitter check out the hastag: #mumentum...

Going through old photos reminds me of my first post.This was me when i first found running 7 years ago.I soon got pregnant and had another year off.

Since then I have tried and tried to lose the weight but I am such a cake and chocolate fan.I do exercise so I can  eat whatever I want to.Now need to lose some weight as carrying the extra weight when running is hard work and I need to lose around a stone or so to make my running easier...

I've just been asked to review the new B Record Plus energy drink so please pop back in 10 day's for my review....

This week has been painful I went over on my foot a week ago and  think Sundays long run didn't help as I couldn't run as much this week as would have liked to.I though it was hip pain but now I think it's just a knot in my top of my leg that just need stretching out so hopefully everything will be OK soon.

Thankful for my foam roller this week. This weeks exercise was:

Monday:

• Resting my leg pain..

Tuesday:

• 1 Mile treadmill run..

Wednesday:

• 1 hour Pilate's class.
• 1 mile run.

Thursday:

30 Day Wardrobe Challenge...

Today I'm starting the 30 Day Wardrobe Challenge which I found on my friend's Dress My Truth blog.

The 30-day wardrobe challenge, you choose no more than 15 items (dresses & skirts but no pants) & wear only them for 30 days. cardigans,jackets, blazers and shirts do not count & can be add-ons when creating your outfits. Choose dresses that honor your Dressing your truth type.

This is what Jeanine Say's about her challenge:

"My goal with 15 is so you can wear each dress or skirt at least twice. If you have fewer, you get to wear them more times, which is fine. The reason for the challenge, in general, is to figure out what works and what doesn't with your dresses and skirts. But also, to see where your dresses and skirts fit into your wardrobe by wearing them more than usual."
I love clothes challenges as they get me out my jeans and wearing my clothes that never get worn...

Here is my 15...

• 7 skirts.
• 8 dresses.

Why not pop over and join us there is still time?
Also just a quick question is anyone else having a problem with blogger? keeps jumping to the bottom of my page every time I get on.
