VitaNatural Fibromyalgia Formula is designed to offer nutritional support to help your body deal with the specific symptoms of Fibromyalgia. It's carefully formulated ingredients help your body better deal with fatigue, joint stiffness, anxiety, depression, headaches and muscle pain and other symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia. Below are some frequently asked questions regarding Fibromyalgia, along with comprehensive answers to help you better understand this syndrome.

      Fibromyalgia is typically referred to as Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) which until recently was either unheard of or thought to be a psychosomatic "Syndrome." Today, most physicians who diagnose Fibromyalgia believe it to be a musculoskeletal disease causing varying degrees of pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons which are the "fibrous" tissues in the body and hence the name Fibromyalgia.

2. What are the Symptoms of Fibromyalgia?

      The most common symptom is pain which can range from slight to incapacitating. These pains are usually muscular and are described as throbbing or burning, and can be shooting or stabbing causing muscle spasms. The other major symptom is fatigue which can leave the fibromyalgia sufferer feeling totally drained of energy. Both of these major problems can then lead to associated disorders such as sleep disorder, chronic headaches including migraines, anxiety, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, TMJ which may come from teeth grinding during restless sleeps, painful menstrual periods and heightened sensitivities to food, medication, chemicals, and weather conditions.

3. Who typically has Fibromyalgia?

      It is believed that well over 10 million people suffer from Fibromyalgia in the U.S. alone. Now that this disease is becoming more studied and publicized, increasing numbers of people are now associating their painful symptoms with Fibromyalgia. This disease is much more common in women and, in fact, may be as high as 95% of the currently diagnosed cases. Most women with Fibromyalgia are between the ages of 20 and 60.

      Some personality studies have linked diagnosed Fibromyalgia patients as being extremely driven people with demanding careers. These women are commonly intelligent, compulsive, intense and hardworking. They often are concerned about how they can effectively balance their demanding career requirements with their home and family needs. Obviously, these women feel helpless at times, dealing with chronic fatigue and pain while trying to fulfill the normal demands of life. This leads to a spiralling downward feeling of anxiety, depression and associated sleep disorders.

4. What is the cause of Fibromyalgia?

      This is an elusive question, however, there are many theories ranging from "psychosomatic" to "genetic predisposition." It is believed that there are certain trigger events which can bring the onset of Fibromyalgia. These trigger events are traumatic childhoods, accidents, viral or bacterial infections or the development of associated diseases.

      There are other theories suggesting abnormalities in neurotransmitter regulation, immune system functioning, sleep physiology and hormonal control. There seems to be a link between autonomic nervous system dysfunction and how the body responds to exercise, stress and body motions.

5. How is Fibromyalgia diagnosed?

      Unfortunately, there are no real laboratory tests that will positively show that a patient has Fibromyalgia. In fact, this disease syndrome is diagnosed after all other probable diseases are eliminated from consideration. Although the symptoms are most similar to rheumatoid arthritis, lupus or hypothyroidism, clinical tests for these diseases prove negative or, if positive, are often believed to be a conjunctive disease diagnosed along with Fibromyalgia. Therefore, Fibromyalgia is commonly diagnosed based on symptoms and a process of elimination.

6. What are current treatments for Fibromyalgia?

      There unfortunately is no known cure for Fibromyalgia. Because the real cause of this disease is unknown, there are no prescription medications that can stop or prevent this disease. Today's treatments are designed to help the Fibromyalgia patient deal with or manage their symptoms. Attempts are made with prescription pain killers, anti-inflammatories, anti-depressants, muscle relaxants and sleep enhancers. All or any of these have only shown limited degrees of success. They can also produce negative side effects like nausea, bowel changes, dry mouth and headache. Because there is also a belief that the bodyıs lack of serotonin depletes energy, doctors have tried, with limited success, various drugs that supposedly boost serotonin levels. Others have tried trigger point injections with lidocaine to help relax muscles. This is a temporary treatment at best. Most doctors believe that physical therapy and exercise provides the most dramatic improvements. Low impact and water aerobics are suggested to help the body overcome muscular pain. The problem is that many Fibromyalgia sufferers feel so fatigued that they can't even get out of bed!

      The majority of doctors dealing with Fibromyalgia are pain management specialists who utilize other psychotherapy, acupuncture or even hypnosis to deal with the anxiety and frustration associated with constant pain and fatigue. Nutritional supplements have been found to provide some degree of relief. One example is malic acid in conjunction with magnesium. This combination is believed to enhance oxygen production, providing a boost of energy and can also help alleviate trigger point tenderness by improving the health of muscle tissue. This is the first natural, non-prescription treatment that has shown promise.

7. What is the prognosis for Fibromyalgia sufferers?

      There is no known cure for this disease/syndrome. It has been shown that although symptoms can vary in intensity over time, the overall symptoms are chronic. Even if common treatments are administered, many Fibromyalgia patients can become disabled to the point of not being able to work. Needless to say, this disease/syndrome can severely, negatively effect a person's life if not dealt with properly.

      Even with prescribed medication, physical and psychological therapies, and exercise, only about 40% of patients see noticeable improvement for some period of time, but even these people can still return to severe pain and fatigue later. There is a strong need to find a more effective treatment to help deal with this unfortunate disease!

8. What is VitaNatural for Fibromyalgia?

      VitaNatural for Fibromyalgia is a unique, alternative medicine approach to dealing with the associated problems of Fibromyalgia. VitaNatural for Fibromyalgia is a nutritional supplement which combines those essential vitamins, minerals, herbs and amino acids which have individually shown indications of alleviating many symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia. This all-in-one nutritional supplement incorporates 19 all-natural ingredients in one tablet which, if taken separately, would require over a dozen products, some of which are not readily available in health/nutrition stores.

9. Why was VitaNatural for Fibromyalgia developed?

      This product was developed by a medical physician with assistance from research professionals interested in alternative approaches to treating this troubling disease. It is recognized that many prescription drugs used to try to alleviate various symptoms have negative side effects. Also, it is recognized that exercise, especially low-impact or water aerobics, is highly effective therapy. However, many Fibromyalgia sufferers feel incapacitated to the point where they don't have the energy or desire to even get out of bed. VitaNatural was therefore developed as a multi-ingredient, all-natural supplement that can assist the Fibromyalgia sufferer by balancing their nutritional needs along with providing symptom relief without the negative side effects of prescription drugs. If Fibromyalgia sufferers who take this product feel better mentally and physically, then the developers of VitaNatural have accomplished their mission.

10. How can VitaNatural help the Fibromyalgia sufferer?

      VitaNatural contains 19 different vitamins, minerals, herbs and other related nutrients that all have shown some degree of nutritional benefit for Fibromyalgia on their own. Over nine ingredients of VitaNatural for Fibromyalgia are energy boosters and antioxidants which were incorporated to provide the body's muscle tissues with important energy building nutrients. Among these nutrients are Malic Acid, Magnesium, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C, along with Manganese and Coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10, for example, is a naturally occurring antioxidant that biochemically nourishes the body's immune system by creating cellular energy. The Malic Acid and Magnesium are oxygen flow/energy boosters as described earlier.

      VitaNatural also contains six unique herbs which are incorporated to help Fibromyalgia sufferers with anxiety and more restful sleep. An example is Valerian Root which is a strong nervine containing an essential oil and alkaloids which combine to product a calming, sedative effect.

      There are also herbal complexes for helping to deal with depression and "brain fog or fatigue." St. Johns Wort, which is a well-documented herbal nutrient for depression, is incorporated as well as Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Powder which has been used for centuries to increase the circulation of oxygen to the brain and heart by allowing flow through even the most narrow blood vessels.

      Last but not least are three herbal complexes that help with muscular pain, inflammation and headaches, even migraine headaches. Both Feverfew Leaf Powder and Willow Bark Powder are such ingredients that may help headaches and associated pains. Feverfew, for example, has been referred to as a centuries-old herbal "aspirin." Boswella is an herb that has been used for years as a natural occurring, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory nutrient for joints and muscles.

11. How much will VitaNatural for Fibromyalgia cost?

      A three-month supply bottle costs under $65. This translates to only 72˘ per day. If all of the ingredients found in VitaNatural products were purchased separately at health stores, it would cost hundreds of dollars to accomplish the same effect, not to mention having to take as many as 20 to 30 tablets per day!

12. Why should a Fibromyalgia sufferer try VitaNatural and what should they expect?

      VitaNatural can potentially be the nutritional supplement that enables the Fibromyalgia sufferer to better function and deal with the day's aches, pains, fatigue, and related symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia. It is an inexpensive, all-natural alternative and complementary approach to prescription drugs, physical and psychological therapies.

      VitaNatural may take up to three months before the full effects of this nutritional supplement are experienced.

      Now that a real disease has been properly diagnosed, Fibromyalgia sufferers no longer have to be referred to as having "Whining Woman's Syndrome." There is finally a nutritional, natural product that incorporates multi-ingredients specifically developed for Fibromyalgia sufferers to help them live a more tranquil life with less pain and less fatigue.
