Tips to Healthier Living Series: Part Four, Nutritional Supplements

Hi, how was your weekend? We had a great time yesterday celebrating our son, Thomas’ eighth birthday. I can’t believe he is that old already.

I want to share with you today about why I supplement and why I use the supplements I do.

Part of trying to live a healthier life 13 years ago, I started taking  natural supplements. I felt better and had more energy. I have always taken some kind of  vitamins, especially when I was pregnant or nursing (which seems like all the time, literally! I am still nursing my 14 month old, LOL),  but I did not always notice a difference when I did. When I ran out of my natural iron supplement, while I was nursing, several months after I made the change, I decided to use the iron I had left in the cabinet that the doctor prescribed. After a short time, I was REALLY tired, and I was wanting to sleep ALL the time. Then I realized it might be the change in the iron. So I bought the natural iron again and after a few days I was back to normal. What a difference!! The other iron was doing nothing!!!!

What most people don’t realize (I didn’t either) is the difference in nutritional supplements. Here is a simple explanation:

The first kind is what I was taking that was prescribed from my doctor. The last kind is the kind I have been using for the past 13 years and have never felt better. I am very passionate about helping others to feel better and to live a better life. That is why I love to share with everyone what I do and what I take to feel better.

There is no way I could possibly eat all the food necessary every day, to get all the nutrients my body needs. Even if I was able to our food supply is very denatured and the food today is not the same and does not have the same nutrients as it was years ago. I take the Shaklee Vitalizer daily strip, shown in the picture below on the left.
 

I would have to eat all the food listed below to get the same nutrients found in one serving of  Vitalizer.

This is an interesting a cost comparison done by Doug Smith.
He did a line-by-line label comparison of Walgreens and GNC to Shaklee Vitalizer with iron. All comparison's were done online on 1/14/11.
Note that GNC's multi contains no bioflavin, quercetin, nickle, tin, vanadium, or boron.
Otherwise, to get the same amount of vitamins and minerals as Vitalizer, you would have to buy:
Walgreens- 30-day supply
Centrum Performance multivitamin/multimineral: $11.99 X 4
MegaRed omega fish oil: $29.99 X 2
Naturemade probiotic: $11.49 X 1
Total: $119.43
GNC- 30 day supply
Women's Ultramega: $39.99 X 1
Triple strength fish oil: $38.99 x 1
Ultra probiotic: $39.99 X 1
Total: $118.97
Shaklee
Vitalizer w/iron 1 box/30-day supply
Total:  $85 Member price ($76.50 on AutoShip)high-quality nutritional supplements

If you are interested in good health and taking the best products on the market to supplement your diet, I recommend taking Vitalizer.  I take the Vitalizer for Women and my husband takes the Vitalizer for Men and our parents use the Vitalizer for seniors.
