Swine Flu & Immune System Protection

Economic times are tough for a lot of folks, however, just because you're pinching pennies doesn't mean you have to skimp on your value when buying supplements. Here are five great products all under $5.

 

Melatonin - $2.97 - Melatonin isn't just for jet-lagged travelers. If you're over 40 (ahem, and most of you are), your melatonin production has dropped and it just might be affecting more than your sleep!

Alas, modern life takes a big toll too. Excessive light in the evening and too little light during the day both disrupt normal melatonin production. Low-frequency electromagnetic fields (like household appliances) further disrupt melatonin production.

The good news?  For just $2.97, you can add Melatonin to your regimen to support sleep, of course, but also to support strong bone growth, rockin' immune system function, and happy serotonin levels. Great value, eh?

 

Vitamin D3 - $2.97 - there's a reason vitamin D has dominated the medical journals of late -- most humans are critically deficient and the benefits of boosting vitamin D just keep keep multiplying. Even if you spend time in the sun and take our Multi-Vites, it's likely you're still not getting enough vitamin D.

More good news!  For just $2.97, vitamin D:

• Helps control unhealthy cell proliferation (avoiding mutations that cause cancer)

• Stimulates healthy immune system activity

• Helps correct autoimmune activity, muscle weakness, and pain by reducing inflammation

• Reduces hypertension (thus boosting heart health)

• Strengthens bones, but you knew that, right?!

Remember, all the studies are indicating that 400IU per day is piddly and a healthy body needs at least 2000IU  daily.  Loads of benefits for pennies a day!

Cinnamon - $3.43 - Looking to support healthy blood sugar levels, but Alpha Lipoic Acid a little pricey for your thrifty temperament?

Great news!  For just $3.43, Cinnamon:

• Slows food transit time from your stomach to your intestines

• Decreases insulin demands and helps normalize blood sugar levels (remember our weight loss piece?)

• Lowers inflammation, cholesterol, and triglycerides (for you many heart health fans)

Oil of Oregano - $3.97 - With everyone concerned about Swine Flu and allergies these days, you can't go wrong adding this powerful immune protector.

Can you stand all the good news?  For just $3.97, Oil of Oregano:

• Delivers antibiotic, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial power -- in your stomach as well as in your intestinal tract.

• Supports bile production to alleviate indigestion. Cheaper than Tums, no chalky aftertaste.

A chiropractor friend insisted that Oil of Oregano would be popular among our members, and, he's right, it has been a big hit. 

 

Milk Thistle - $4.95 - Looking to support your liver and detoxify your little cells?

Look no further!  At just $4.95, Milk Thistle:

• Helps your liver neutralize toxins (including those over-the-counter painkillers like acetaminophen - did you know it takes your body 14 days to eliminate acetaminophen?!).

• Eliminates toxic fats lodged in cells, which otherwise contribute to low energy, inflammation, and even liver damage.

• Boosting liver-friendly supplies of the super-antioxidant, glutathione and production of new liver cells.

 It's never too late to love your liver with this very affordable and non-toxic botanical!
