Livin' the Cube Escapee Life

Yes, we can talk about Supplement-IT until we are blue in the face, but what does the lifestyle of a Supplement-IT fan look like? Let's explore:

Cube Escapee - our first customer and biggest fan - is an I.T. Professional by day, and escapes out of her cube and back into her life by night. Well, at least until her pager starts beeping...

Let's start at the beginning:
Cube used to be tired, stressed-out, irritable, cranky, and was gaining weight. She was starting to get migraines from the back tension and headaches. She was working long hours, and eating processed foods, drinking too much caffeine and alcohol, and not exercising. Cube began getting 4-5 sinus infections or colds each year. Her chiropractor bills, doctor visits, and prescriptions were draining her FSA and benefit accounts. She found she had to wear glasses due to the strain on her eyes. She blamed her bad habits and sicknesses on the stress of her job. Sure, the job wasn't easy, but it was only going to get worse. The economy was going downhill, and her team's headcount was being reduced. Time for a new solution.

Cube started looking into vitamins and supplements, and other natural remedies. There had to be a way to survive this lifestyle, and still be healthy. She also started working out at her local gym in the mornings. She started drinking more water, and stretching when her neck started to get stiff. She took a veritable handful of supplement pills each day. Still, there was only caffeine to keep her awake during the long work hours and night time pages. And, she felt she was taking too many pills. There had to be a better way.

Suddenly, one day, she discovered Supplement-IT! This was the answer! Finally, a supplement made just for her unique challenges. It was also vegan and non-caffeinated, so she didn't need to have so much coffee. Also, since Supplement-IT had many needed vitamins in it, she could reduce her daily intake of pills to just Supplement-IT and her allergy pill. It was SO much more simplified and easy to remember to take 2 items each day, as opposed to 10.

Today, Cube still works those crazy hours, but now she takes Supplement-IT. Cube is more fit, less caffeinated, and she feels in control of her situation. Her mood is uplifted, and she has had less sinus infections or colds than before taking Supplement-IT. Her immune system has been boosted! She has energy without the jitters! Her eyes are less strained and she doesn't need her glasses as often.

Cube loves her new way of life, thanks to Supplement-IT!
She was such a huge fan, she became one of our Supplement-IT Girls. Check them out on YouTube here.

Vitamin E questions and answers


Is our Vitamin E naturally made or not, and is it healthy to have it dosed so high?

Vitamin E can be derived naturally (from wheat, etc) or made synthetically. The Vitamin E in Supplement-IT is synthetically made.
Our ingredient is "Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate)" This means our supplement is GLUTEN FREE, which is a selling point. yay!
To read more: http://altmedangel.com/vite.htm

Why do we have 100 IU or 333% Daily Value of Vitamin E in our supplement? or rather, is this a safe amount to consume?
Yes, this is fine. There is 100 IU of "Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate)" in 2 capsules of Supplement-IT.
even if someone were to take 200 IU of "Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate)" or 4 capsules of Supplement-IT per day, it would not harm them according to :
http://dietary-supplements.info.nih.gov/factsheets/vitamine.asp

"The FNB has established ULs for vitamin E based on the potential for hemorrhagic effects (see Table 3). The ULs apply to all forms of supplemental alpha-tocopherol, including the eight stereoisomers present in synthetic vitamin E. Doses of up to 1,000 mg/day (1,500 IU/day of the natural form or 1,100 IU/day of the synthetic form) in adults appear to be safe, although the data are limited and based on small groups of people taking at least 2,000 IU for a few weeks or months. Long-term intakes above the UL increase the risk of adverse health effects [6]. Vitamin E ULs for infants have not been established."

Feedback for Supplement-IT

Overwhelmingly, all of our friends and customers who have tried Supplement-IT, say it works! They love it! It's the best thing since sliced bread. We also poll new users/customers with an anonymous survey, so we can take any feedback into account. We stress to our survey-takers that we want their candid and honest feedback for this amazing new product. Good or bad, we want to know what they think. We want to know what YOU think too! Feel free to drop us a line anytime. contact@supplement-it.com

However, there are some folks who haven't tried it yet, and these are the questions we seem to receive:
Is this really your supplement? or are you reselling it?
No folks, this is the REAL deal. The creators of
Supplement-IT are two IT Professionals. We created it. Nobody else created Supplement-IT. It's ours. We made it for YOU! You can only buy Supplement-IT from our company (SMAZEN Enterprises LLC) or our website.

You guys aren't doctors, chemists, or scientists - why should I trust this product?
True we aren't doctors/chemists/scientists. We came up with the formula for this product by ourselves through a ton of research and brainstorming. However, we did work with industry chemists, nutritionists, and scientists to perfect the formula to ensure it was safe, had little, to no interactions, and was as natural/green-friendly as possible. We interviewed many, but selected a GMP certified neutraceutical manufacturer (
Nutricap Labs) to make our formula into reality. THEN, once those bottles came in the mail, we tested on ourselves, individually, before releasing it to the public. We stand behind our product with a 30-day risk-free guarantee. You try it, you don't like it? Send it back. We'll refund you the cost of your 30 day supply PLUS shipping/handling.

How the heck did you come up with this idea?
It's simple really. We work in Information Technology. We live the cubical life. We carry the pager/blackberry on our hip 24/7. We know what it's like to work an 8 hr day, come home, sit down to dinner, and "Beep-beep-beep" dial into work for another potential 4-6 hours. We HAD to stay focused, to concentrate, to stay awake and alert. Before now, there was only the option of Caffeinated drinks/pills/beverages. There weren't other options. It's not healthy to live that way. We wanted a healthier alternative for ourselves, and for others. We started with a list of wants - what effects should a supplement of this nature produce? Then we looked at ingredients. What ingredients could possibly give the effects that we wanted? We trimmed our ingredient list by cross-indexing for interactions, safety, known issues, and looked for natural ingredients whenever possible. Then we went to our scientist/chemist friends, and refined the formula further, and so on - until our manufacturers made it a reality for us. It's VEGAN too. We even went so far as to ensure that our ingredients will work WITH Caffeine - as most of you are already caffeinated by the time you get our product. If you want an alternative to the caffeine. If you want ingredients which may give you non-caffeinated energy, focus, concentration, boost to your immune system, nutrients you're missing from sunlight deprivation, support or your eyesight, then look no further, SUPPLEMENT-IT has those ingredients!

We'll write more later, but noodle on this for a bit. Until then, Thanks for listening.

Questions about Rhodiola Rosea - an ingredient in Supplement-IT

Last week, a caller asked us about Rhodiola Rosea. This ingredient has been pretty big in the nutritional news lately, and thus we have had several calls on the product.

What is it?
Rhodiola Rosea is a plant, found in Europe, Asia, and Artic regions.

Why is it so special?

It has been documented to have effects as an endurance enhancer, mood lifter, and help prevent depression. "It can increase the body’s responses to a variety of physical, chemical and biological stressors. Researchers tout its usefulness in warding off depression, cancer and cardiopulmonary dysfunctions. It can also be used to treat hypertension, irritability, headaches, fatigue and many other sleep disturbances. It may even be helpful in increasing thyroid function, improving memory and learning capabilities, regulating menstruation and infertility and even helping to protect one from environmental toxins." - Source Health.LearningInfo.org

Are there any interactions?
Currently, there are no known documented interactions with Rhodiola Rosea. However, it has been recommended that pregnant or breast-feeding mothers do not take it, as extensive studies in this area have not been finished. Also, because Rhodiola Rosea is a stimulant, it has been said that bi-polar or manic-depressive patients should not take it.

What are the side-effects, if any of using Rhodiola Rosea?
Currently, the only known side-effects are irritability and insomnia, but this has been seen only when a dosage of 1500mg are taken per day.
Even if you took 4 capsules of Supplement-IT per day, you wouldn't come close to that exorbant dosage of Rhodiola Rosea.

Tell me more about Supplement-IT and Rhodiola Rosea.
The form of Rhodiola Rosea used in Supplement-IT is a powder, not the liquid extract.
There are no documented interactions, but it is recommended that manic-depressive patients, or nursing/pregnant mothers, not take Rhodiola Rosea.
The amount of Rhodiola Rosea within Supplement-IT is low enough, that even if you took 4 capsules a day (twice the recommended serving), you should not have the side-effects mentioned above.

Try Supplement-IT today!
