I don't normally take any vitamins or special supplements but I try to be somewhat conscious of what I eat on a daily basis. That is, I pay attention to the important stuff like getting plenty of salt, potassium and fluid intake. I definitely wouldn't say I eat a perfect diet though. I still eat junky processed foods when I have a craving, but overall I try to get a good variety of different foods in so didn't think my body was really lacking anything in particular. Perhaps that's why I was really surprised by the way my body reacted to Boost. After a few days of drinking it, my resting heart rate was totally normal (60's sitting!) and only jumped to the 90's when I stood up. I realize that that jump still meets the criteria for POTS, however, it is much better than my usual jump into the 120's. I have been drinking one a day religiously for the past month and I am pleased to report that my numbers have been looking much, much better. I don't know why, maybe my body was lacking some essential nutrient contained in Boost, or maybe its pure coincidence and my POTS is finally cooperating for once, but I really have been feeling better most days. I hope this trend continues. I am definitely going to keep drinking Boost, it couldn't hurt. My gut instinct says it is at least partially responsible for the recent improvement in my numbers and how I feel.
