Flavored Yogurt: Sweet as Candy
First let’s get some perspective. A Snickers bar has 30 grams of sugar. Two Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (1 package) have 21g of sugar. Two Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts - 32g. One cup of Froot Loops with ½ cup of skim milk - 18g. Stonyfield Low-Fat Smooth and Creamy Banilla (that’s banana vanilla) yogurt has 35g of sugar per serving. Chobani 0% Black Cherry has 21g of sugar. Yoplait Original...

Foods You Think Are Healthy - But They Aren't
Sometimes the food industry drives me nuts. Actually more than sometimes. I especially dislike when they try to “fool” consumers by spinning words to make foods sound healthy! For example, the other day I saw FAT FREE ORGANIC JELLY BEANS. Wow, doesn’t that sound great. They must be the best jelly beans and very good...

Many of these can be achieved through a healthy diet, but sometimes even that is...

5 Foods To Reduce Heart Risk - Mediterranean Style
The Mediterranean diet is not new. For years now we’ve been dreaming about getting thin and skirting heart disease while indulging on red wine, fresh fish, al dente pasta in homemade marinara and crusty bread doused in fragrant olive oil... right? (There is some sarcasm here. If it’s lost on you, don’t fret. Read Post on Mon, Mar 11, 2013 by Jared Rice

They’re also more likely to have a higher self-esteem, feel more valued, and take better care of themselves, promoting wellness, immunity and longevity.

That is twice the daily limit recommended by the American Heart Association, which advises consuming no more than 6 teaspoons of added sugars per day for women and no more than 9 teaspoons...

Great product and price
Great website, excellent products, fast shipping, competitive price points, great customer service and communication and I absolutely love the marine collagen I received. One of the best I’ve ever taken. I will definitely be ordering from you again! Thank you!
Natrum sulphuricum (30c)
Great decaf medium roast coffee. Wonderful
Everyone is knowledgeable and patient. Also, they have a variety of options and products.
Beef Gelatin Unflavored
Very effective when I combine it with slow release melatonin at night for sleep and stress. This was recommended to me by my functional medicine doctor. The allergy free type is good for people with food sensitivities.
Organic Bacopa really does help with my memory. I can tell the difference if I forget to take it!
This product works for me. Was hounded by my dr to start statins because she thought my numbers were dangerously high. I said absolutely not and added Cholesterice. Over this past year my ‘bad’ number is down 50 points and is staying down. Awesome product which really helped me.
Very glad I found Beberine to give me an assist with pre-diabetes and heart disease. Seems to be working really well.
40,000 volts
Red Yeast Rice
I like the taste not too sweet it is just right.
This is the only thing OTC that actually puts me to sleep! Please don't ever stop making it or carrying it!
