I am willing to pay for services, especially health and nutrition, that provide valuable information. Examine.com is one. Their latest newsletter shatters some current myths referring to actual research.
Here’s a teaser:
Have you heard about granulated beet extract (GBE)? So hot right now!
Moderate doses improve mood by activating the mesolimbic dopamine pathway. And unlike many supplements, GBE’s bioavailability is off the charts! This is due to its dual use of SGLT1 and GLUT5 transporters.
Oh by the way, granulated beet extract is also known as table sugar. You may very well have supplemented with GBE this week because 55% of table sugar (sucrose) produced in the U.S. comes from beets.
As GBE illustrates, names hold great power. Would you trust my scientific acumen more or less if, instead of Kamal Patel, my name was Booger von Simpleton, Attorney at Law?
