Hyperbiotics Pro-Kids Probiotics


About:

An All Natural and Sugar Free probiotic formula specifically designed for Kids! Our small sized pearl is easier for kids to swallow (and still tastes great if chewed)! With our patented controlled delivery system, 60% of the beneficial flora (instead of the usual 4% of most other brands) will survive the harsh environment of a child’s stomach acids and travel deep into the intestinal tract, delivering the probiotics where they are needed most.


Based on our flagship formula for adults, currently the #1 selling online brand, we have developed the most effective probiotic formula for children. With the 4 most proven strains (including B. infantis), this formula will counter the negative effects of today's broad spectrum antibiotics.

We are dedicated to providing you and your family with the most effective probiotic supplementation to repair, repopulate and restore the gastrointestinal tract of your children, helping build the foundation for a lifetime of health.

Review:

I have wanted to find a probiotic for my son, and so when I had the chance to do a review for Hyperbiotics Pro-Kid’s Probiotic, I was very excited. I love that Hyperbiotics has a control release technology that delivers the probiotic to the intestinal tract. According to Hyperbiotics, this probiotic is 15 more effective than other probiotics. I rely on probiotics myself, and really think my son could benefit from them as well. Being that your digestive system directly impacts the health of your immune system, I really want to keep his digestive system healthy.

Also, they say that fatigue and irritability are often a result of poor vitamin and nutrient absorption. These probiotics for kids help create a microenvironment inside their digestive system that helps promote full mineral absorption so that they can feel healthy and energetic. That being said, my son doesn’t always eat what I would like him to eat, and I’d like what good he does eat to be absorbed fully. He does get tired and irritable at times and I had high hopes of this probiotic making a difference in that.

One thing I really like about these probiotics is that they are very small- they are actually called pearls. This makes it very easy for younger children to swallow. They could also be chewed or crushed easily and still taste pretty good. They should be swallowed, if possible, for best results, but if not, you can still get good results by crushing or chewing. My son is 6 and has no problems swallowing these pearls.

We’ve been trying these daily for a few weeks and so far, I think they have been making a difference. He’s been feeling better and his mood has actually been much better. He’s also been less tired and more alert. I haven’t had near as much trouble with him at night. Usually he gets very moody and dramatic, but so far he’s been much calmer and easier to get to go to bed, etc.

I’m not sure if it’s the probiotics or something else, but I’ve been happier to see him happier. He’s also had less tummy complaints as well. Overall, we’ve been happy with these probiotics and I can see us continuing to use these after this bottle is finished.

Organic Matcha DNA Green Tea


About:
The mission of Matcha DNA is very clear; to give its drinkers a sense of wellbeing, healthful living, and longevity. Money doesn’t grow on trees and it is important to know that when you are paying for something, that you are getting the most benefits possible from it. Matcha DNA delivers, inspires, delights, and allows you to experience the ancient tradition of tea. Matcha was considered a royal drink in China, a drink befitting the emperor, and was a coveted secret of the Imperial house for many years.

The price of good health and wellbeing cannot be overstated. All MatchaDNA tea is 100% Chinese tea. Only the finest tea leaves are used in its preparation and production. There are cheaper options out there which are not 100% Chinese tea, but how much is your good health worth?

Did you know one glass of Matcha DNA may be the equivalent of 10 glasses of green tea in terms of its nutritional value and antioxidant content?

Matcha is 1200 units/g of ORAC Antioxidant Value.  To put that figure into terms that one may understand... Pomegranates only have 105 units/g and Blueberries 91 units/g.


Review:

Matcha DNA prides itself on being an amazing supplement to enhance health, energy, and wellbeing. Every day, great pride and hard work go on into ensure that the best tea from an ancient and Imperial tradition can be shared today with millions of people around the world.

When I think of green tea I typically think of the kind you can get already packaged in bottles or maybe hot green tea. This Organic Matcha DNA Green Tea was something entirely different. This product is made from powdered tea leaves and instead of steeping it, you just mix this powder right in with hot water or milk and you drink it, crushed tea leaves and all. It was all new to me, so if this sounds odd to you, don’t worry, it was a little odd for me at first too.

I was very interested in the benefits of Matcha Green Tea. It is very high in antioxidants. Our bodies are constantly being bombarded by free radicals and we really need those antioxidants to fight off those free radicals. Matcha Green Tea is also said to help fight cancer, boost energy levels, have anti-aging properties, help lower bad cholesterol and also detoxify and aid in weight loss. Being that this product offers such amazing benefits, I couldn’t wait to try this.

Matcha DNA Green Tea is certified organic and that is super important to me! This product also comes in individual packets that are all in one large re-sealable bag to contain all the packets for easy storage. I loved that this product came in individual packets as I didn’t have to worry about measuring and how much I needed.

I tried my first cup following the directions. I mixed a little hot water with the Matcha Tea powder until it formed a paste, and then I added more hot water to make the tea. I used a little honey to sweeten it and a squirt of lemon juice. The tea itself looked very green, almost like one of those health smoothies, and different. After trying this, I can say it is probably an acquired taste, but it isn’t bad. I did find that it gave me a little energy and I just felt good after drinking it. It’s hard to describe, but it was just a good feeling. I felt pretty good all day long.

I was pleasantly surprised at how many different uses there are for Matcha’s Tea. You don’t have to just make a drink from it, you can make various recipes. You can get a bunch of recipes on Matcha’s Site, just click here. I am curious to try the green cookies!

Overall, I would have to say that this tea, while being somewhat of an acquired taste, is excellent. I love the earthiness of it, but also love the versatility of it. You can drink it or use it in other kinds of recipes. Just knowing the amazing health benefits of this product is enough as nothing that I know of can even begin to compare!

Number One Nutrition's Omega 3 Krill Oil

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Krill oil contains fatty acids that are similar to fish oil and are thought to be beneficial fats that help to decrease swelling, lower cholesterol, and help prevent clots. Many people use krill oil to treat heart disease, high levels of triglycerides, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stroke, cancer, osteoarthritis, depression, PMS, and other things.

Krill oil can possibly cause some minor side effects similar to fish oil such as bad breath, heartburn, fishy taste, upset stomach, nausea, or even loose stools.

Krill oil contains astaxanthin, which is a very potent antioxidant. Antioxidants are what protect your cells from damage from free radicals. You form free radicals when your body oxidizes the air you breathe, breaks down foods, or encounters environmental hazards like smoke and radiation. Antioxidants typically only fight one free radical at a time, but astaxanthin may be able to handle multiple free radicals at the same time.

So I love taking krill oil. I can’t prove it actually does anything for me, but I do know I feel better, in general, when I take it. I have less pain in my joints, I feel less PMSy, and just feel good. I have had no side effects with this capsule. I’ve had no fishy aftertaste, no bad breath, heartburn, etc. This particular brand of krill oil, Number One Nutrition, is fantastic. One serving contains 1000mg of krill oil – more than most other brands have per serving. I don’t eat any seafood whatsoever, so I feel good knowing that these caps are doing some good for me and giving me the benefits of fish/krill oil.

Each cap is slightly larger than a particular name brand; however they do have more mg in them per serving, so it only makes sense. When I open the bottle, I can smell the fishiness of it, however when I actually take the supplement, I don’t have any fishy aftertaste whatsoever. I can’t even tell I took them (as far as taste or smell). I also take them with a meal so they aren’t sitting in an empty stomach.

My cholesterol is slightly elevated, so I’m hoping when I have it checked again that it will be lower. I really believe in the benefits of krill oil.
You can get Number One Nutrition Omega 3 Krill Oil at Amazon.com for $22.99 (could change) for 60 caps.

Azure Naturals Ultimate Vitamin C Serum Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Vitamin C serums are very popular, and for a good reason; they work! While you can take vitamin C supplements, it’s typically best for your face if you apply it topically to directly treat signs of aging.

This product has 20% vitamin C, 11% hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, organic aloe, amino complex, organic jojoba oil, and ferulic acid.

This product is great for sun damaged skin, it helps fade sunspots and to improve discoloration, and helps to protect from future damage. This product also helps refine skin texture, visibly plumps and firm skin, stimulates collagen production, and helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Review:
So I’ve been using this product for a while now and have found it to really work when it comes to softening my skin, softening my fine lines and it does give my face a nice healthy glow. I really love how light and thin this product is. It absorbs quickly into my skin and I only need a small amount to cover my face.

I’m also starting to notice a few spots on my face starting to face. I am very excited about this. I can’t wait to continue this product to see how much more it can help my skin. I really do have to say my skin feels so much better and looks better since I’ve been using this product. I’ve actually gotten a couple comments about me looking radiant! I know this product is working.

I think after a couple months of using this product (and I’m sure there is many, many months’ worth of product in this little bottle), I will see a definite and huge improvement- more so than I’ve seen already. I would definitely give this product a try!

There really aren’t any negatives to this product. While I can’t say that it will work wonders for everyone, I can say it did work very well for me.  They do offer a 100% money back guarantee if you aren’t satisfied. I really don’t think anyone would need to take them up on that offer!

Poppy Austin is a leading provider of organic anti-aging products. Poppy Austin is dedicated to creating premium hair and skin products that make women look younger, fresher, and alive. They believe in a healthy and holistic lifestyle using pure ingredients that can be trusted.

Review:

Poppy Austin has a great anti-aging Vitamin C Serum with hyaluronic acid. Poppy Austin’s Vitamin C Serum is some of the best I've tried. I love that it’s organic, and that their products are never tested on animals, that’s a huge plus! I also love the packaging. It’s a beautiful bottle with a beautifully simple label. I also love the bottle is so large! You get a lot for what you pay for; it’s such a great value. You also only need a few drops to cover your face! This bottle will last a long time. I tried this product for a couple weeks so I could see how it worked. It really didn't take long before I noticed it working. I noticed an improved look to my skin right away. The fine lines on my face seem softer looking, my skin feels softer, and my pores look less noticeable. This product is not at all greasy and absorbs into my skin very quickly. It’s amazing stuff!

QSpeed CoQ10 200mg Quick-Melt Tablets

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I have been interesting in trying a CoQ10 product that isn't as large as a horse pill and this product seemed perfect. I loved the idea of a quick melting tablet that is supposed to taste good.

I received this product very quickly after ordering and it came in nice sized packaging. The tablets themselves were not unreasonable in size. They were in individual foil pop outs in the box. This was nice.

When I first tried the product, I just placed it on my tongue and waited. I didn't wait long at all before the tablet completely dissolved. There was a slight chalky-ness to the product, but that really did not bother me at all. The product tasted great for being what it was. It was almost candy-like. They are sweet but not super sweet. 

This product would be great for anyone who has a hard time swallowing large pills or who just wants to take a fast-melt that actually dissolves fast and tastes good. QSpeed CoQ10 200mg is a great alternative to giant pills that are sometimes painful to swallow.

IPurify Colon Cleanse by Reduxa

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I have heard many people talking about colon cleansers lately, and thought maybe I’d try one to see how it worked for me.

I followed the directions and took two capsules with water after a meal in the evening. The capsules were easy to take and didn’t leave any odd aftertaste, which was good. I didn’t notice anything different in the first few days, but after the fifth day or so I did notice I felt better- more energetic, less headaches (probably from the caffeine in the product), and things in the belly area were moving along much smoother.

I think this product has great detoxifying qualities! I can’t say I lost a ton of weight from this, but I think it could help a little by keeping energy high and keeping things moving through the body. I plan on getting more just because it really does make me feel better and who knows; maybe the weight will slowly start dropping in time.

The ingredients in this product are:
Vitamin C, Vitamin D, B-1, B-2, B-3, B-6, Folic Acid, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Fiber Herbal Blend: Senna Leaf, St. Johns Wort, Uva Ursi Leaf, Inulin, Psylium fiber, Thermagenic Blend: Guarana Seed Extract, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Ginger root Other Ingredients: Gelatin, Magnesium Stearate

This product contains a lot of great ingredients. There are many healthy, good for you vitamins and minerals. No wonder this product really helps me feel better, it has a vitamin C, D, and B's. It also has the feel good St. Johns Wort and others. This is a great ingredient list! I did just say that twice.

Number One Probiotic Supplement

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I have tried many, many brands of probiotics over the last year or so and only a handful of them actually did anything for my digestive system. This particular product, Number One Nutrition's Probiotic Supplement, offers a limitless guarantee so that if at any time you are not satisfied, they will refund your money no questions asked. This caught my attention because if a company believes in their product that much, it must be pretty good.

So after receiving this product, I first read the ingredients and how many to take a day. Just two capsules a day with a light meal, and you are on your way to being healthier. This sounded pretty simple. The size of the capsules were not tiny, but not large and they were easy to swallow leaving no odd taste in your mouth afterwards. I also put them in the fridge to keep them fresher and to keep the probiotic benefits stronger.

I do want to note that this product has a statement on the back that indicates they were processed in a facility that uses a large number of different allergens. If you have allergies to any food item, check the back out to be sure you won’t be affected. Lucky for me, I have no food allergies (that I am aware of)!

After taking these for a while I began to notice a difference in how I felt. I have acid reflux and that was greatly reduced, I have various different digestive discomforts that seemed to be alleviated greatly, and overall things were moving along much smoother. I am very happy with this probiotic as it actually is making a difference in how I feel. I am happier when I feel good and I sleep better not having the symptoms that usually keep me up or wake me up at night. Since I am sleeping better, I am less tired during the day.

Who knew a probiotic could do all that?! While I don’t think this product is a cure-all, I do believe it can and does greatly improve your health! Your immune system is critical and should be protected and boosted. Probiotics have been shown to be beneficial to your immune system. This product is going to be a staple in my daily routine.This product would be great for women, men, and older children.

Number One Nutrition's Probiotic Supplement can be purchased on Amazon.com. You can also visit the Number One Nutrition website here.

Booty Fresh - Love your butt!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Well the weather is getting hot and when it gets hot out things start to sweat. When things start to sweat, odors occur. It’s perfectly natural to want to be clean and feel clean when things start to sweat. So being that I like to feel clean and fresh, I decided to give this product a whirl.

I followed the directions on the product packaging. I showered and then used about two sprays on the “area” and let sit for 5 minutes. I then rinsed away. I was surprised how clean I felt afterwards. I felt fresh and clean for the rest of the day. I started to use this product as part of my daily morning routine and am very happy with it. It has a light natural scent and is made of all natural ingredients that don’t irritate my skin at all

I think this product would be great for anyone who sweats a lot, works in a hot environment and wishes to feel cleaner, would be great to take camping to stay fresh, or for anyone with “tummy” issues. I think this product is a must have for the bathroom or for traveling.

I do have to say I was a little disappointed that when I received my bottle, it had leaked out into the packaging it was in. I had to clean it up before I used it. But other than that, I have no issues with the product or the bottle it came in.

You can find this product on Amazon.com.

Adovia Dead Sea Mud Shampoo

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

First of all, I am a huge fan of mineral skin care products. I was very excited to be able to try this product as I have such a dry and itchy scalp and nothing I've tried seems to help.  This product claims to be fast, natural, and effective at providing relief from dandruff, itchy, dry, flaky scalp as well as scalp psoriasis, and seborrhea dermatitis.While I'm mostly having issues with being itchy and dry, I do believe this product would work wonders for all the other scalp issues people do have.

When I first received this product I was impressed with the packaging. I think the labeling looks great and the color of the shampoo, itself, is unique. It's a dark brown color that no other shampoos really are. Being that this is a dead sea mud shampoo, it's no wonder it would have such a natural color to it.

Once I took a look at the packaging, I flipped the lid to smell it. I love a great smelling shampoo and was thinking this shampoo might smell a little "mineral-like". I was wrong. This shampoo has a very lovely scent- almost herbal but not really; it's almost aromatherapeutic. In any event, I was excited to try this shampoo.

So when I tried this shampoo I was happy with the scent, the feel of the shampoo and the way it lathered. I could feel relief almost immediately from the itching. Once I rinsed out the shampoo, I noticed my hair was very soft and not at all tangled and tough like it usually is from other brands.

After actually drying my hair, I noticed my hair was exceptionally soft and smooth and smelled wonderful. I am even more excited to report that my scalp remained itch free. This was all after just one use. I have continued to use this shampoo daily and find that it really keeps my scalp itch free and moisturized. I am no longer scratching at my scalp and looking like a stranger person! I am so very happy with this shampoo!

I have no desire to ever go back to another brand of shampoos again. I also want to check out their other products. If I do, I will be sure to report my findings! I highly recommend anyone with any kind of scalp issue (and even those that just want soft, smooth hair) to try this shampoo. It is amazing.
