Need advice on test results

February 19, 2010

I have been suffering from fatigue since 1990. I am exhausted and

stressed all the time. I'm seeing a doctor for these problems. These

are the results from a 24 hour urine test. She says some of the

minerals are too high. Some of these minerals are in a product I am

taking called Empower Plus, and she wants me to discontinue this, so I

would like some feedback. I take the Empower for stress/depression.

The ingredient list can be found at this site:

These are my test results:
