TheraZinc Lozenges Will Keep you Healthy on The Go #Giveaway

January 24, 2017 By Marijean

Seems like everyone I know is getting sick! I was so sick the week before Christmas, and it seemed that it lasted so long and I couldn’t get any relief.

Even though the holidays are behind us, cold season is still in full swing. It can be difficult to stay healthy and keep your immune system strong as you head back to work, the gym, and your daily routine. Here are a few tips from Quantum Health to help you feel your best in 2017!!

Go to bed early. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation can lead to suppressed immune system function.
Wash your hands frequently. If you’re tired of hearing this old adage, check out the science behind hand-washing, as reported by the CDC.
Put down the candy. Avoiding sugar is a great way to keep your immune system in fighting shape. Consuming sugar can suppress your immune system for hours after ingestion.
Take a walk. Not only is this good for your waistline, but exercise provides a myriad of immune benefits, from flushing out bacteria to slowing the release of stress hormones.
Keep a roll of TheraZinc lozenges handy. These delicious supplements combine elderberry and zinc to keep you feeling your best. They are easy to keep in a purse or backpack, and dissolve quickly in your mouth.

Zinc Elderberry Lozenges in a Pocket-size roll.

With the addition of Zinc, these lozenges combine two popular, immune-boosting nutrients.*

Research from Europe suggests that Elderberry and Zinc provide the nutritional support your body craves.

Ingredients: Zinc (from Zinc Gluconate), Elderberry Powdered Extract Other Ingredients: Sugar, Dextrose, Fructose, Maltodextrin, Natural Flavor, Magnesium Stearate and Rebaudioside – A (Stevia Extract).

Recently, an analysis of several studies showed that zinc lozenges reduce the length of a cold by one day, especially when taken within 24 hours of the first signs and symptoms of a cold. I am willing to try anything to help reduce cold symptoms. I was pretty excited when I was contacted to try out these Lozenges. I haven’t had a cold yet to really try them out, however the flavor and taste of the Elderberry is great. They are not chalky like some lozenges, and go down nice and smooth. I love that I can keep them in my purse. I am looking forward to really trying these our when I am sick with a cold or virus.

These also come in a 60 count bottle for $8.99, and Zinc Echinacea in roll or bottle form. Each roll is currently $2.29. Very affordable!

Giveaway

We are giving our readers a chance to win a 14 pack of the Lozenges plus a $25 gift card to Amazon!! One lucky reader will win! Giveaway ends 2/6. U.S. residents only.

SBR Nutrition Liquid Vitamins Review and Giveaway

January 20, 2017 By Marijean

I rarely ever take vitamins. I do not like vitamins in pill form or chewable form. I can tolerate gummy vitamins, but not for very long. I was contacted by a company called SBR Nutrition to review their liquid vitamins.

About SBR Nutrition

At SBR Nutrition, we are dedicated to enhancing your overall health and well-being. Our mission is to consistently deliver high quality products with a focus on helping you reach your wellness goals.

We specialize in liquid vitamins and supplements, and we strongly believe in the benefits of the “Liquid Advantage.” Aside from being easier to consume, liquid supplements also have a comparatively higher absorption rate when compared to supplements in solid form. Research suggests that only 10-20% of supplements in solid form are absorbed by the body, while liquid supplements have an absorption rate of up to 95%! Combining high quality ingredients with a higher absorption rate is what we like to refer to as the “Liquid Advantage.”

We are confident in the “Liquid Advantage” and we want you to experience the difference yourself. That is why all purchases are protected with a 90 day, 100% money back guarantee. We are committed to making our relationship last a lifetime.

On behalf of the SBR Nutrition family, thank you for taking the time to get to know us. As always, we wish you nothing but the best with all of your health and wellness goals!

SBR Nutrition currently offers 4 different options for liquid vitamins. I was able to review 3 out of the 4 available.Take them alone for max absorption or take them with your favorite beverage! I add them to my morning coffee each day.

Biotin

Enhance your energy and beauty with SBR Nutrition Biotin liquid drops! Often called “the beauty nutrient” because of the nourishment it delivers your hair, skin and nails. This member of the B-vitamin complex is a key cofactor of enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism, helping to supply cells with energy. $17.99.

5,000 MCG of Biotin per serving
No artificial perservatives
Vegan Friendly
Non-GMO
Made in the USA

Ingredients: Biotin, Purified Water, Organic Grape Alcohol, Vegetable Glycerin, Natural Vanilla Flavors, Stevia (Leaf Extract)

Biotin promotes healthy hair, skin and nails. I am looking forward to the results of this as my hair and nails could use some help. It is tasteless which is great and very easy for me to take.

Vitamin B-12

SBR Nutrition brings you a breakthrough in vitamin B-12 supplementation with Methylcobalamin, the neurologically active form of B-12. Traditional B-12 supplements give you cyanocobalamin, a form that the body must convert into methylcobalamin to harness its neuro-nourishing potential. Our Methylcobalamin completes this conversion for you, so your body gets more active B-12 faster, for the health of your entire nervous system. $17.99.

3,000 MCG of Vitamin B-12 (as Methylcobalamin) per serving
No artificial perservatives
Vegan Friendly
Non-GMO
Made in the USA

Ingredients: Vitamin B-12 (as Methylcobalamin), Purified Water, Organic Grape Alcohol, Natural Flavor Blend (Cherry Type) and Stevia

Vitamin B-12 is the best for energy. I have been taking this for about a week now daily and it is working great! I have more energy and feel much better. This liquid vitamin is red in color with a cherry like smell, but I cannot taste it when I put it in a beverage.

Tumeric

Turmeric has been used for centuries, dating back at least 4,000 years. Modern medicine has begun to recognize its importance as well — as indicated by the over 3,000 studies dealing with turmeric that have been published within the last 25 years. Turmeric continues to garner attention from the health community, thanks to its antioxidant properties and potential to help support cardiovascular health, provide natural pain relief and promote healthy joints.

Despite their extraordinary potential, many herbs can have limited benefits due to poor absorption. SBR Nutrition helps alleviate this absoption issue by bringing you our high quality Turmeric Curcumin liquid drops. Our liquid formula helps ensure your body gets the nutrients it needs — faster. $31.97.

Liposomal Blend (Organic Turmeric Root Extract)
Curcuminoids + Fulvic Acid
No artificial preservatives
Vegan Friendly/Non-GMO
Made in the USA

Ingredients: Organic Turmeric Root Extract, Curcuminoids, Fulvic Acid, Purified Water, Organic Glycerin, Phosphatidylcholine Complex (from sunflower lecithin), Natural Flavors, Potassium Sorbate

This is actually the first time I have heard of Tumeric as a vitamin. It has an orange-yellow color, and does taste a bit acidy and bitter….however when I put it in a beverage it tastes fine.

They also make STEVIA which will be available soon!

If you are someone who does not like to take vitamins in pill, chewable or gummy form….then these are the vitamins for you! When you click purchase on the website you will be directed to Amazon to order.

GIVEAWAY

Would you like to try one of these vitamins? We are giving 1 lucky reader a chance to win a vitamin of their choice (Turmeric, Biotin or B12). Giveaway ends 1/31 U.S. residents only.

My love for Pink Zebra is no secret. I really love all of their home fragrance products. I have many of the Simmering lights, shades, sprinkles and soaks. Pink Zebra has introduced a new line of last month, a Jewelry line!!

You are probably thinking, “What the heck does Jewelry have to do with fragrance??” Good question!! Pink Zebra’s beautiful line of Jewelry can all be scented! That’s right, they can ALL be scented with the Pink Zebra Soaks! How cool is this?! Let me tell you all about it!

Pink Zebra Scented Jewelry line consists of 6 different pieces of Jewelry. 3 bracelets and 3 necklaces. Each of those pieces can be scented with your choice of Soaks. Pink Zebra even has introduced 6 new Soaks specifically for the new Jewelry! You can use any of the Soaks however these new scents are more perfume like.

The new scents of Soaks are: Alluring (my favorite), Daydreams, Eau’De Love, Island Passion, Angel Wings and True Romance. Each bottle is 3.75 fl. oz. and are $12 each. I even used Alluring in the PZ lotion and it smells amazing!

Lets talk about the Jewelry now and how to use the Soaks on the Jewelry. Their are 6 different pieces of jewelry to choose from.

Each Jewelry piece comes with an area on it that you can use the Soaks. You can fragrance it as much as you would like. You can also use multiple Soaks to make your own customized fragrance! Pretty awesome!!

It is super easy to apply the Soaks, just make sure you aren’t wearing the jewelry while applying. Allow the Soaks to absorb before you wear the jewelry. You can change the fragrance once the previous fragrance has evaporated.

The fragrance is absolutely amazing on my necklace!! You can change fragrances also if you are getting tired of smelling just the one, or you can add multiple Soaks to it!

I chose the Arrowhead Necklace Set to review. Aqua/Teal is my favorite color so I knew I would immediately be drawn to this piece. I also love how it is a 2 piece set, I have received many compliments! I used the Alluring Soaks on my necklace. I love the scent so I covered the entire area. A few squirts and you are good to go! I have had a few people ask what perfume I was wearing when they walked by, so you can definitely smell the scent. It isn’t overpowering by any means, it is just right. A few pieces of the jewelry have multiple areas to scent, so you can definitely change up your fragrances. So awesome!

All of the Pink Zebra Soaks are dye free, alcohol free and the packaging contains no BPA. All Pink Zebra products are made in the USA.

These would make very unique gifts for the holiday season!! Please check out Laurie Leal’s below pages below, and contact her with any questions/orders you have!!
