Did you know the Co-op orders fresh
Probiotics 16 every three months?!
Sure, we keep fresh stock of all our
products, but since probiotics are a particularly sensitive commodity, we strive
to keep newly manufactured friendly bugs coming through the doors regularly.
Some of our older members like to do the
"buttermilk" test, putting our probiotics into a glass of milk and producing
buttermilk. Gotta have live bugs to pull that one off!
Fast Fact: The Co-op tests every new production run to
make sure we know (and you know) exactly what you're getting.
Here is our
most recent test that shows off a whopping 13.6 billion friendly
bacteria.
Stock up now!
Better yet, turn your friends on to the freshest stock around!
Tess' Blog:
Fountain of Youth
Who doesn't love a good story? Especially when it means learning
something important about your health without having to wade through thick
science jungles.
Enter Tess's new blog on healthy aging,
Fountain of Youth. Even
though Tess is still young, she has a reputation for being wise beyond her years.
She is also incredibly dedicated to bringing health lessons that she's learned from
over a decade of studying wellness.
A keen observer, Tess shares stories about her friends and
family, their health challenges, and what it's like to know all the things
you wish you knew when you were young.
Ta da! Here's
the "Little Kat's" new blog:
(Somehow, Tess gained entry into the infamous feline club and was
dubbed the "Little Kat" -- it's okay, I have a health ego, so it's not a
problem!)

of the 21st Century?

Stevia: God's Gift to the
Incorrigible Sweet Tooth?
For all you sugar-fiends out there, you'll get a chuckle as Tess

cravings and kept whining about needing exceptions to the rules. Finally, Tess

holding out on the secret of the universe!
