Sari Food's Acerola Cherry Powder

 
 
  Many Vitamin C supplements  contain isolated  &/or synthetic Vitamin C that is highly acidic, toxic, causes nutrient imbalances & forces your kidneys & liver to work overtime while your body struggles to absorb them.
 
Natural Vitamin C, on the other hand, is a complete complex, containing a variety of antioxidants, vitamins & minerals that work together in harmony, making it both absorbable & effective. In  fact, natural Vitamin C is so bioavailable that it even lasts up to 24 times longer in your body!

From deep in the jungle of Brazil, acerola cherries provide the richest source of Vitamin C of any food source. And now you can enjoy the intense antioxidant benefits of this 100% whole food Vitamin C, just as nature intended!

Adding food based Vitamin C to your diet may help:
  • Reduce the severity & duration of colds
  • Fight aging & protect you from the ill effects of  stress
  • Promote recovery & cell regeneration
  • Reduce the risk of getting almost all types of cancer
  • Lower cholesterol & the risk of heart disease & stroke
  • Regulate blood sugar, improve circulation & blood flow
  • Reduce the symptoms of allergies, asthma & arthritis                         
This powder smells like raisins to me & has a bitter-sweet taste. When my throat was terribly sore, I used this powder along with Sari Food's spirulina powder & my sore throat was gone the next day. I would definitely recommend this.

InstaNatural's Essential Oils


 
 
InstaNatural's peppermint essential oil is a multi-purpose oil that cools, energizes & refreshes the body & mind. This steam-distilled oil is extracted from dried or fresh leaves from the menthe piperita herb, giving it a sharp, menthol fragrance. Its pleasantly sweet & minty aroma makes it a premium choice for aromatherapy to improve the mind & lift the spirits.
 
 
 
This oil has a sweet, strong, last-lasting aroma. For some reason, this smells better than other brands of peppermint oil that I've used. I use it full strength on my skin with no irritation & it really helps to keep me calm & relieve some of my anxiety.


 
InstaNatural's lemon essential oil is extracted from the rinds of lemon, which lends its fresh citrus fragrance. This cold-pressed oil has a strong, bright scent that is both refreshing & uplifting. Its astringent & purifying properties also make it a great aid to help cleanse & tone the skin, while delivering a boost of vitamin C antioxidant benefits.
 

This oil also smells better than other brands that I've used & has a wonderful aroma. It really helps to lift the spirits & mask unpleasant odors. I used it to make lotion & a detox body mask combined with bentonite, azomite & jojoba oil. My skin was left glowing. As always, I highly recommend all of InstaNatural's products.

It has 3 operating modes - high, low & strobe which is primarily for use as an emergency beacon.  It utilizes a triple sealed design to help reduce the chances for any type of moisture or humidity to enter the battery chamber. It has an integrated base hook for hanging overhead & its slow pulse indicator light flashes slowly as a protective feature to ensure that the lantern can always be located in case of an emergency or power outage. This lantern is well made from high quality, sturdy materials & comes with a 5 year warranty. It can be used for camping, fishing, hiking, or for emergency situations at home. I would recommend it.

Water Away - Natural Diuretic Pills By Zhou Nutrition

 
 
 
 
 
      Water pills are used to help lose water weight, decrease bloating & swelling & to treat high blood pressure.
 
Prescription medications used for water retention can possibly have harmful side effects. Zhou Nutrition's water pills contain natural ingredients such as vitamin B6, green tea, potassium & Dandelion Root which is known as a source of potassium itself.
 
Potassium replaces fluid that is lost through urination. Just 1-2 capsules a day helps to gently & naturally remove excess water.
 
Personally, I didn't notice much difference in my weight while taking these capsules. I guess I'm puffy from fat & not water. But I'm sure they will work well for those who are having issues with water retention.
 
Zhou Nutrition's water pills can be found at Amazon.com
