THE ULTIMATE MEAL If you don’t have time to cook a meal, but need some nourishment, his is one of the best meal replacements around! It is great especially after exercising. Our chief JellyHead (who also is a certified fitness trainer) swears by it! You can have it in the form
of a shake or a meal bar. It‘s Vegan, with all natural minerals,
lots
of organic ingredients. Visit the Ultimate
Life site to read more. Store them properly. Keep your vitamins with your spices - cool, dark and dry. Unopened containers do well in the refrigerator, but opened containers should be kept out of moisture and condensation - not in the bathroom or the fridge. View it as insurance; doesn’t hurt and might help. Most of us get most of the nutrients we need. But to get peace of mind, some supplements might be a good idea. However, a varied balanced diet is the best foundation. Too good to be true. No supplement in the world will solve all your health concerns, or get balding hair to grow back, or make you lose 30 lbs. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Here you can find vitamins, organic herbal remedies, minerals, supplements, enzymes to create better nutrition, digestive health, sports performance, prostate health and overall well-being. Some stores have discount prices, bargains and on-sale products- while it is a good way to save money, we always recommend buying the freshest, highest quality products you can find.
Awaken to the World of Herbs HERBS: Whether you are looking for organic herbs like echinacea, gingko biloba, ginseng, Yohimbe, St. John's Wort, Rosehips or garlic, this is the place to start.

GENERAL:
DID YOU KNOW THAT… Prior to 1901 lettuce was a nondescript, leafy plant with no known value. The Southern Pacific Railroad introduced the 'Iceberg' variety (from seeds imported from France) to California's farmers in the coastal valley regions. [Source:
'Southern Pacific's Coast Line', by John Signor] DIET ANALYSIS TOOLS: NUTRITION DATABASE: ILLNESS RELATED: Mega dose mania. Be careful with huge doses of vitamins. From time to time news surfaces about some magical properties of a vitamin if they are taken in very large doses. Often the long-term effects of these mega-dose vitamins are not thoroughly researched. Sometimes these large doses can be even harmful. Vitamins give you energy - WRONG! You only get energy from carbohydrates, protein and fats - not from vitamins. However, for long-term well being some nutritional supplements may be helpful. Keep it natural and organic. Does it make sense to eat pesticide laced pills for better health? Whenever taking supplements, choose the highest quality, most natural vitamins produced from organically grown, pesticide free ingredients.
Offset today’s nutrient-vacant
foods: SWEETER THAN SUGAR... By Andy Summa Sugar can erode your teeth and some scientists claim that aspartame causes brain damage. So where do you go to satisfy your sweet tooth? Stevia, some say. This herb is up to 300 times sweeter than sugar and has no calories. Native to Paraguay, stevia has been used as a sweetener and flavor enhancer for centuries. It has been used in chocolate chip cookies, teas, and even porridge. There are numerous cookbooks on the subject, including The Stevia Cookbook by Dr. Ray Sahelian. It has been thoroughly tested in dozens of tests around the world and found to be non-toxic. It won’t raise your blood sugar level or erode your teeth. So what’s the catch? This amazing little plant is quite controversial -- it was once the subject of searches and seizures, trade complaints and embargoes on importation in the U.S. The FDA still refuses to approve the herb as a sweetener, saying more tests are needed. Since the passage of the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, however, stevia can now be sold in the United States as a dietary supplement. And sales have exploded. Sales rose to $10 million in 2000 from $300,000 in 1997 in the United States. For more information on stevia, check out www.stevia.net.
