cold hands and extremeties

[Spook]

Nyc and EC stacks probably wont help

for low BP's or poor circulation. I'm not knocking a good NYC since it is best used for a fat burner, but the circulation issue seems to be the best and most probable cause. My BP runs around 90/50 and it isn't uncommon at all for my feet and hands be suffer from the cold in a short period of time. When a person is in the wild or survival situation it is always the extremities that get frostbitten the first since those vessels run so close to the skin. Get the little lady some fleece lined gloves and some insulated shoes with good socks to wear in the cold. Some fleece lined mocs would be great around the house and keeping the thermostat up to where it is comfortable for both of you would be a plus.

yohimbine is quite effective at increasing peripheral blood flow. NYC does help with this. EC may actually, in women.. have the opposite effect unless stacked with yohimbine..

 

[macrophage69alpha]

there are other supplements that CAN improve circulation as well, but she should probably see a doctor just to get a basic blood profile done... if the symptoms do not improve with exercise.

Spook, She does where gloves and bundles up. I think that`s just putting a band-aid on a problem. Also, here in the northeast I have my thermostat on 81 degrees. ouch when the heating bill comes it`s not pleasant and I wake up in the middle of the night to change my drenched T shirt.

Macro I`m going to try the NYC again but NOT the EC I guess. I will look into yohimbine. I have the Yo DF and I like it btw.

Cold extremities could be Reynaud's Syndrome.

That's what it is. I have had it for about 5 years now. . I went to a doctor who told me to take a niacin supplement and get lots of aerobic exercise to get the blood flowing. I was taking the niacin for a few years but have since stopped.

What really seem helped me the most is the exercise and quitting smoking. Smoking and especially cocaine make the condition much worse because they constrict your blood vessels. Any exercise where you are moving your arms like running, swimming, jumping jacks for example is great because you get the blood to your fingertips.

You're wife shoud also take a niacin supplement. Niacin in high amounts though make you flush and makes your skin itchy so I recoment Inositol which is a "no-flush" form of niacin and much easier on your liver.

She should also avoid getting cold and wear gloves outside even if it's not that cold. Drinking hot tea throughout the day is good.

There is no *cure* for this but you can control it.

Hope this has helped.

I used to have this problem when I was thinner, ever though I did alot of cycling, hiking, etc. Since I put on some muscle it's gotten a whole lot better. I don't know how well I'd hold up to a northeast winter though.
