Simple Ways to Support Female Reproductive Health
Eat well – make sure you have a varied diet, with good fats (omega -3 rich, as in flax and fish oils) and lots of color! It’s especially important to support your liver with lots of dark leafy greens, fiber and liver-supportive herbs. It’s your liver’s job to process all of your hormones and if it’s sluggish, hormone levels can be imbalanced. Consider taking a multivitamin-mineral supplement. Our diets, no matter how good, may not be supplying all that...

READ MOREVitamin D and the Sunnier Months - Should I Continue to Supplement?
Spring is here! The shift into longer days and more sun has begun, and you may have begun going through your closets, pulling out those short-sleeve shirts, shorts, and other lighter spring/summer gear. You may have also been inspired recently (especially this past week!) to get outside and enjoy the spring breezes, warm air, and...

READ MOREGoing for Green Tea
I am a coffee lover. I love the smell of it brewing in the coffee pot in the morning, I love the way it tastes and the way it perks me up in the morning (pun intended). However, I am a three cup (at least) coffee drinker per day, and I know the beating it...

READ MOREVitamin D and Your Health: Why you want to pay attention to this vital nutrient
The headline article in my recent edition of Ellen’s Healthy Bites, an email newsletter I send out once per month that is full of the most relevant health/nutrition topic of the day, was “Vitamin D: A Public Service Announcement”. I felt so strongly that it was imperative to educate my readership about the important issue...

READ MOREMangosteen Reduces Inflammation

READ MOREAnother Reason to Take Fish Oil - RvD2
RvD2 - no it's not another Star Wars character. RvD2 (Resolvin D2) is a chemical that is derived from omega 3 fish oils. Researchers have discovered that this chemical reduces inflammation. So people who have suffered from arthritis may have a new treatment option. And unlike anti-inflammatory drugs used to traditionally treat arthritis, RvD2 doesn't...

READ MOREMore Reasons to Take Vitamin D
Everyday there seems to be more and more research to support the supplementation of Vitamin D. The current recommendation of 400IU just may not be enough for most people living in North America, especially those of us who are inside most of the day and don't see sunshine. Here are summaries of the three latest...

READ MOREBoost your Immune System with Probiotics
Okay, we have all seen the commercials that say 70% of our immune system is in the digestive tract. So is eating a yogurt enough to protect our immune system against all that is out there? Personally, I don't think so, but it is a start. The reason that yogurt may offer protective benefits is...

Good product!!!!
They are delicious and fresh. Helps the mind , body, and soul
This probiotic helps keep my gut bacteria in check and my immune system in good condition.
Great service.
Just started taking this mag glycinate. Hoping it will help with sleep issues.
Highly recommended by my acupuncturist! It is a powerhouse!
I started useing this at first sign of tingling like others have mentioned and I reapply every two hours throughout the day . Its strong stuff just a thin layer needed. I'm on day 3 of use and my cold sore is 1/3 the size it normally gets . And no pain or irritation . I feel like it's starting to heal up already . Recommended to keep useing it even past the time you think it's going away. I really like this but have to eat tic tacos cause leaves strong taste in mouth . It's totally worth it !!!
I stated taking Nattokinase as part of a precautionary Spike protein detox. Since this is a preventative for me, not a corrective hard to tell if it’s working. But, it’s also supposed to help with Cardiovascular function.
it's very helpful to treat my allergies and sinus indeed. Works well!!! Thank you!!
Magnesium (citrate)
Gets rid of my cough quickly. Arrived promptly. I recommend.
I appreciate the very prompt and helpful service
I live in the desert. My sinus’s are always dry and in the spring I am bothered by allergies when certain plants start blooming. I prefer not to take allergy meds since they make me tired so I rely on this and herbal nasal spray to get me through.
I have used Newton's Menopause drops for years and have never had to take hormones. They are getting hard to find. I googled them and found them at Village Green Apothecary. I had never heard of Village Green and was a little leary of ordering from them, but I did anyway. They sent my order in a timely fashion with no problems.
