Healthy Digestive Help



Details: Rez Vera is guaranteed all natural, helps digest food properly, helps eliminate IBS, Gas, Stomach Bloating, and Constipation naturally, imporves colon health, and supports normal bowel movement.  Dietary supplement comes in 90 capsule bottles. Serving size is 2 capsules, but the suggested use says to take 1-2 capsules after each meal (no more than 6 daily).  Made in the USA.  You can purchase this product via this Link provided.  Currently there is a promotion where if you buy 2 bottles you'll get a 3rd for free.  Also available on Amazon and Ebay.

Disclaimer: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

My Review:  I wasn't sure about this product at all.  I have a very picky body, where my bowel movements are regular just not as often as my husband.  I have always felt that my body takes FOREVER to digest any food, and have struggled with weight gain/ weight loss for years.  I know Aloe Vera is a very good natural plant that helps with digestion.  And have taken it in pill and liquid form over the past 2 years.  But that alone wasn't helping me.  So when I got this product I figured why not give it a try.  My body would only reject it if it didn't work.  During the first 2 weeks of testing it I wasn't really seeing any changes, nothing happened that I could see.  I felt better after taking it, but I wasn't seeing any other changes.  Then in my third week of testing I broke out in hives.  I wasn't sure if it was from this product or a new food I ate the previous day.  But the hives came on instantly and lasted for 5 days before finally going away.  It was very nerve wrecking!  So I had my husband start taking this while I stopped everything to get rid of the hives.  He LOVES this product.  He feels so good when taking it, and he remembers to take it after each meal.  He feels a HUGE difference when he takes it versus not taking it.  He wants to make sure we have this in our house from now on.  He feels like it has really helped him with his weight loss goals.  Once the hives left my body I slowly started taking Rez Vera again, but only after my nightly meal.  I haven't broken out in hives again, so I'm guessing it was the new food I ate.  But please be mindful of how your body reacts to anything you ingest into your body.   So since then I have really noticed a huge difference as well.  I don't feel bloated any more, I don't feel constipated anymore when I take this consistently, I feel my stomach is really digesting my food better now!

Pros: no bad smell when opening the bottle, no after taste, no burping of herbs after taking, easy to take, my husband says it helps him a ton

Cons: none

Super Colon Cleanse

Details: Will's General Colon Cleanse dietary supplement comes in a 90 capsule bottle.  Extra Strength.  Take 1-2 capsules in the morning and in the evening with water.  Helps promote healthy bowel movements, underactive bowels, and occasional constipation.  Always consult a doctor before taking this.  

Disclaimer: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

My Review: I have tried many different types of colon cleanses, when I'm constipated, when I'm sluggish, when I'm sick, when I've eaten junk food, when I've had too much bread.  The colon cleanses that work the best are easy, gentle, "super", because its a higher concentration, herbal, organic, all natural.  Will's General Super Colon Cleanse is all of those.  It works quickly, it is strong enough to clean you out, without causing after affects, or diarrhea.  I say it works quickly, it will work within 24 hours.  My husband takes this only at night and is cleaned out every morning.  I have to take it in the morning and at night to get it to work for me.  Eating enough digestive fiber helps as well.  The first time my husband took this, he was burping up its herbs and getting sick to his stomach, so make sure you drink with enough water, to avoid that discomfort.  I have not had any negative side affects or burping because I do drink 10-14 oz of water or liquid when I take this, especially at night.  Any type of pill/ capsule especially a colon cleanse may or may not work for everyone, it all depends on your body and how often you go in the first place.  I do recommend this product, but if it doesn't work, contact the company, they are great to work with, and get their suggestions.
 
Pros: works fast, works fully, really helps with constipation, promotes healthy bowels

Cons: if you don't drink enough water 8-10oz you may experience burping up the herbs

My Review: I was really excited to be chosen for this product review.  My Mother-In-Law had just bought her first ever Smart Phone after having a "dumb" flip phone for the past decade.  Since she has had her new phone she has almost dropped it a dozen times while out biking with her dog.  Or she just doesn't bring her phone and no one can get a hold of her for a few hours.  Which isn't always good because we have family with health issues she helps care for, she babysits my kids and will take them biking too, or we just need to call her and can't.  So by getting this arm band I thought this would be perfect so she can keep her phone on her at all times and not worry about dropping it or breaking it, because her phone is an iPhone 4S.

As this was going to be a surprise for her I wanted my husband to test it out first to see how it works for him, because he loves listening to music while biking or jogging while at the hotel when he's traveling for work.  So we tested his Samsung phone with this product.  It wasn't all that easy to slide into the plastic package at first, but once we took off the case it fit so much better.  But my husband said it was frustrating to take off his phone case just to put it in this exercise arm band to go work out.  He knows his Mother wouldn't want to do this, and that was strike number one against this product for us.  Strike number two was that the metal piece pinched his arm skin no matter how loose or tight he made this armband.  Normally I try to offer suggestions to the issues with products, but I'm not really sure how to fix this issue, which made me decide this isn't worth giving to my Mother-In-Law since my husband doesn't even want to wear it because of the pinching.

Pros: easy to use when the phone case is off

Cons: having to take off the phone case to use, pinching the arm skin to

Yacon Syrup


Details: True Sol Yacon Syrup can be purchased via the link provided.  True Sol Nutrition Pure Premium Yacon Syrup pure and natural digestive aid.  Naturally boosts metabolism, low calorie, low glycemic dietary supplement.  A natural source of powerful prebiotics and antioxidants.  Made in the USA.  Serving size is 1 tsp.  100% pure raw and organic extract.  Comes in an 8 fl oz bottle.  This is a metabolism booster.  Helps with weight loss as a probiotic, non-caloric, low glycemic.  Can be used as a natural sweetener.  "When taken daily, raw yacon syrup can assist in losing weight, increase metabolism and aid with detox cleansing of the digestive system."  No additives.

Disclaimer: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

My Rating: This is the second Yacon product/ dietary supplement that I have tried in my life time.  Between these two products there are many differences.  This Yacon syrup is truly a syrup consistency, thick, dark in color, sweet smelling, and reminds me a lot of molasses. So if you like molasses then you'll have no issues taking this product.  I on the other hand do not like molasses and so really had to force myself to take this. However when I was taking this product I really felt good.  My metabolism was faster, I was digesting my food better and more often, my bowels were more regulated.  So there are some very important benefits for having this product being a constant dietary supplement.  However like anything you take for your health consult a doctor before taking to make sure it will be beneficial to you.  To be honest I was taking it daily for a while, then we started going out of town a lot during one of my reviewing months and I stopped taking it, and now as I write this review, I remember that I had stopped and am now remembering the good benefits that I got from taking this, so as I prepare to head out of town again, I'm planning on taking this with me so I can have those nice benefits again.

Pros: works well, good benefits health wise, true to its nature

Cons: tastes and smells like molasses which I don't like

Infusion Water Pitcher


Details: Infusion Water Pitcher from Kitchen Frontier.  This product can be purchased from Amazon via the link provided.  This fruit infusion pitcher is shatter proof, an acrylic pitcher, BPA free, easy to use and clean, helps make drinking water healthier and safer.  Keeps fruit infused water clean and fresh without the floating pieces of fruit.  This is protected with a 100% lifetime money back guarantee.Benefits include helping assist with weight loss and detoxing, staying well hydrated to boost metabolism, flush toxins and provide nutrients from naturally infused ingredients, can be filled with fruits, citrus, and herbs.  Directions: when using the infuser core here are some suggestions: cut citrus fruits into wedges that can easily fit into the core, berries can go in whole, except large berries like strawberrys and some black berries.  Fill core with a pattern of fruits, citrus and herbs so it will taste good and look nice.  Hand wash pitcher and parts.  Its best if this pitcher is infused over night for best taste and potentcy. Pitcher is a 93 oz capacity with dimensions of 7.5" x 6" x 10.25".

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary product in exchange for honest non biased reviews on my blog and on amazon.  I only recommend products that I actually test, try, review and deem worthy.

My Review:  I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!  Seriously, that sentence says it all about how amazing this product is.  I have Amazon prime so I got the pitcher really quickly.  It took a little bit of time to get some good recipes and the fruit needed for those recipes.  But once I got it I was able to use this really easily.  I put my infuser recipe together at night, so that it would be ready come morning.  I've been drinking it for 3 days now and love it.  The water is super duper cold, so if you have sensitive teeth drink through a straw (at least that's the advice I got from my Dentist).  The water tastes really good.  Some fruits/ citrus are more strong than others, so be mindful of what you use and how much you use.  And just in those 3 days of using this product my skin has broken out, which means the detoxing is actually working (because I'm eating clean and can feel a difference).  This works and is amazing!

My Recipe: grape fruit, black berries, strawberries, cucumber, lemon. This is a detox recipe which I found on pinterest.  The grape fruit after day 2 is super strong.  The cucumber was really strong day 1, but not any more.  I have used the fruit for 3 days now.  I am not sure how long fruit usually lasts, but so far its very fresh and potent still.  So I'm going to test it and see just how long fruit will last in the infuser pitcher.  

Pros: works great, easy to use, fruit stays fresh for a long time

Cons: none

Phantom Fitness Bands


Details:  Phantom Fitness Fit Bands come in sets of 4 with a variety of colors, weights/ resistance: light, medium, heavy, X-heavy.  Phantom Fitness is a brand new company, just opened up in 2014.  They focus on resistance loop bands as well as wrist wraps.  Phantom Fitness created products that help with physical therapy, basic through extreme exercising programs.  Made from durable products that are light weight and portable so you can exercise on the go, in your office at work, or while you're sitting watching TV at night.

Disclaimer:I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

My Review:  I love resistance bands in general with my exercising.  I love how fluid, and flexible the tools are to help give you a fluid exercise that's more gentle on your joins, ligaments, and tendons than other exercise tools.  I have some other brand resistant bands that have cracked over time, or have snapped back and whipped me while using them, or pinched my skin because of the plastic handles.  So when I saw these resistant loop bands I had to try them out.  I'm currently using a physical therapy program to over come an injury I've had for over 10 years now.  My program doesn't allow me to run, jump, cycle, or do most exercises that give me cardio workouts, or work out my whole body.  So having these Phantom Fitness Bands I can now exercise my wrists, arms, shoulders, back, legs, as well as strengthen my core without hurting my healing injury.  In fact I've been using these everyday-every other day since I got them, and I've only had them for about a week now, and am in love with how I feel.  Even though my muscles are super sore, I don't feel soreness in my joints, in my bones, etc.  And that's huge for me, because I'm getting older my body is getting more like the Rice Krispy cereal: snap crackle and pop!  Therefore having exercise tools that help my aging body still get great results without the extra pain makes this a great tool to use!  Phantom fitness says they also have wrist wraps, and since my wrists are weak and hurt when I do certain exercises let me tell you I can't wait to try those out as well.


You can see some of
these have stretched
About the product:  When you get your package each individual fitness band is in its own plastic bag all inside a nylon carrying case.  Once you take the bands out of their plastic bags you can't put the bands into the nylon bag as easily all together you have to do it one at a time.  These bands are wide and thin rubber material so sometimes when you use them they will roll up on you, which can be frustrating so just put them on slowly, and use them with control and they won't roll on you.  One last thing some of the rubber bands may or may not stretch to be a little longer than when you first got them...so far I haven't seen that be a negative effect yet.

Pros: AMAZING!

Cons: may roll up

Turmeric Supplement


Details:  Premium Turmeric Supplement is enhanced with Bioperine (2000% more than most brands), has no fillers, binders, preservatives, artificial ingredients, no magnesium stearates, no silicone dioxide, no titanium dioxide.  Super clean and pure turmeric supplement.  Contains 95 % concentrated curcuminoids.  Each bottle contains 120 vegetarian capsules.  Can be purchased on amazon.

Disclaimer: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

My Review:  The above disclaimer is something that I have to put in this product review so that I can submit this product review to Tomoson, but in this instance it is incorrect.  I did not receive a product from this company at all, so I was unable to test, try and honestly review this product.  However from the information that I have received from this company's website below is what I can honestly give you as my readers. This is just an infomercial as I have not received or tested this product.  Going onto their website that gives you all the information about this product, I was not impressed.  There is a lack of details, about the product, a lack of benefits of the product, and a lack of being able to follow the buttons on their website that are supposed to allow you to buy their product directly from amazon via a link on their website.  If you try and contact the company they do not respond, so their customer service is not very good either.

Pros: none

Cons: lack of real details, lack of good customer service, lack of benefits for why one should take this product

My Rating: To be honest, I am going to give this company a big thumbs down because I see nothing that gives it a thumbs up.

Are your Nails healthy?

I have recently been thinking about health of mind, body, and the different parts of your body like dental health, vision health, organ health, skin health, brain health etc.  As a blogger who does lots of product reviews, lately I've been asked to review lots of vitamins, minerals, and other natural dietary supplements key to keeping your body healthy.  When we are in tune with our body, we know what different types of pain mean, we know what symptoms to remember when something isn't flowing well, our bowel movements aren't normal or we are craving something not in our diet.  As I have been learning to listen to my body, with every creak, pop, jab of pain or growl I am learning something new about my body and how it tells me I'm doing good, or that I'm not doing good health wise.

When I don't feed my kids enough vegetables they get a yellowish tint around their mouths.  When I don't eat enough greens my hormones are fluctuating like crazy.  But I have never once thought about noticing my nails and how they change to let me know they're healthy or not.   I have always had thin weak nails that chip, break, tear and sometimes peal off in layers, this has been going on my whole life.  But just recently I have learned that not all of that is normal, and its not really good...not SUPER bad, but there are things I can do to help my body to be healthier by listening or rather following the health of my nails.  So my question to you is, do you know if your nails are healthy or not?

Omega 3 Krill Oil



Details: Number One Nutrition: Premium dietary supplement: Omega 3 Krill Oil promotes cardiovascular health, natural source of omega 3, 6, 9 with astaxanthin.  60 soft gels per bottle, 1000mg per serving.  Take 2 soft gels daily with meals.

Disclaimer: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
My Review:  This is the second time in my life that I have tried Krill Oil as my Omega 3 oils.  I have taken fish oil my whole life, and with my earliest memory being when I was in middle school I have about 20 years of different types of fish oil brands, omega 3 brands under my belt of taking these.  Most have fishy after tastes that you burp up multiple times after taking your suggested daily dose.  I have had some brands that smell fishy but have no fishy after taste, and everything in between.  Number One Nutrition Omega 3 Krill Oil is a medium sized soft gel that is super easy to take, easy to swallow, but it smells even worse than most fishy smelling fish oils.  However, if you can get past that smell these soft gels are the best that I've ever taken.  My normal fish oil soft gels are horse sized, and I have to take 2 daily, with no fishy smell, and a slight fishy after taste that you burp up.  However, to be honest, I don't mind taking this super smelly Omega 3 Krill Oil because there is no fishy after taste, even if you take these with no food.  That is the first time I've experienced this type of dietary supplement before.  In my mind that is impressive.  Like all vitamins or minerals, dietary supplements, you don't see them working instantly, your body needs the time to ingest, fill up, use and absorb before you will see results.  And with fish oils/ Omega 3's you don't really see the results right away and sometimes not at all until you go to the doctor.  I like how my body feels, I'm glad I am giving my body the essential fatty acids it needs, and I'm finding my body feeling better and healthier when I take Krill oil.  So in this sense I will recommend this product.

Pros: easy to swallow, no fishy after taste you burp up, medium-small soft gels, high potency of krill oil in each daily serving.

Cons: smells like rotten dead fish (super strong smelling)

Vitamin D3 with Organic Coconut Oil



Details: Natural Stacks: Vitamin De with organic coconut oil.  Performance essential, 5,000 IU, 180 soft gels dietary supplement.  No GMO, gluten, artificial colors, preservatives.  Serving size: 1 daily, suggested to take in the morning unless otherwise directed by a health care practitioner.  Vitamin D3 is a superior form of Vitamin D formulated with organic coconut oil for optimal absorption.  studies suggest that Vitamin D3 plays  a role in regulating the neuromuscular and immune systems, help with mood and sleep issues.  It also helps support new cell growth and bone formation.

Disclaimer: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

My Review:  Vitamin D is very important to women who need calcium way more than men do.  However, many women aren't recieving the correct amount of Vitamin D their bodies need to absorb calcium, help their bones, and teeth that they need because their bodies aren't absorbing enough Vitamin D.  I have read studies that say to go outside for up to 30 minutes without sunscreen to absorb pure Vitamin D.  However not everyone can absorb enough Vitamin D in that short amount of time, and usually any time after 30 minutes in the sun, sun burns start.  I have personally asked my doctor how much of both Vitamin D and Calcium my body needs, and I was getting half or less than what my body needed.  So I got a good all natural vitamin due that has both calcium and vitamin D in high potencies.  However  to get what my doctor recommended I was supposed to swallow 4 huge horse pills daily.  A task that usually went undone than done because I am not one for giant horse pills.

When I saw this product, and that the amount or potency of the Vitamin D was higher than taking those 4 giant horse pills I knew I needed to check it out.  What luck!  These soft gels are tiny, easy to take, and you get more for your money.  I am very glad to have found this product, now to find a calcium that's similar and I'll be set.  But I don't mind taking 2-3 small calcium pills so the Vitamin D3 is absorbed into my body and my body gets the amount of calcium it needs too.  I highly recommend this product!

Pros: high potency, small soft gels, easy to take, quick to swallow, comes with the healthy oil to absorb fully and quickly into body

Cons: none

My Review:  I have a long history of Apple Cider Vinegar.  See my whole family drinks it in shots because they can handle that potency.  I am not like that, I am more likely to vomit if that comes near my nose not to mention my mouth.  Despite the great benefits that this wonderful little health item gives our bodies I haven't been able to benefit because I can't handle the liquid strength.  However, when I was in collage one summer I got lucky and found a company that sold apple cidar vinegar in tablet forms that you swallow.  This was perfect, I took them daily for 2 weeks because that's the amount of tablets in the bottle, I felt great, looked great and was totally amazed at the benefits of this Apple Cider Vinegar.  But I couldn't find anything similar for a really long time, I'm talking 8 years of searching within my budget of course.  Well when I saw Elite Gold Solutions Apple Cider Vinegar in capsule form I jumped at the chance to try them.  I already know what to expect, I have seen those same results.  I'm excited to have found Apple Cider Vinegar in a form that I can handle.  My hair looks great, my body feels better, and it really helps with digestion and detoxification.  I am highly recommending this product!

Pros: no bad after taste, hardly any smell, easy to take, a good amount for a great price

Cons: none

Slender Cleanse Advanced

Details: Slender Cleanse Advanced: lost weight fast, increase energy, naturally detoxify/ decrease bloating, promote regularity, Green coffee, and chlorogenic acid, 60 capsules per bottle, dietary supplement.  Directions: as a dietary supplement take 1 capsule twice daily, 30 minutes before meals with an 8oz glass of water.  Ingredients: fennel seed, cascara sagrada, ginger, goldenseal, pumpkin seed, buckthorne root, licorice root, phubarb, citruc pectin, adicophilus, cape aloe, bentonite clay, aloe vera, cayenne pepper, senna, oat bran, prune juice and flax seed oil.  Can be purchased with the paired product on amazon.

Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary as a product review, I only recommend products that I personally test, try and review.

My Review:  About a month ago I started using this product in combination with Garcinia Cambogia Advanced.  They are a paired dietary supplement for weight loss and all that comes with loosing weight, gaining energy and such.  For the Slender Cleanse Advanced it says to take one capsule twice daily 30 minutes before your meal.  I have to be honest, this isn't the first time I've taken a weight loss pill 30 minutes before a meal, but usually its before every meal, not just two, so I was pretty skeptical on if it would be strong enough to do something positive for my body.  These products are suggested for men and women who need to loose 10 lbs or more.  Its also claimed that you should notice weight loss within the first week, and if you loose more than the recommended safe loss of lbs in one week to stop taking this product pair.  For me personally I had a hard time remembering to take this because I didn't take it for breakfast, I needed it for lunch and dinner.  So that wasn't a good start.  between this product and the Garcinia Cambogia Advanced, the positive things that I noticed are these: I wasn't as hungry at each meal so I ate less per sitting, I ate more often but smaller portions, things flowed smoothly in the digestive area which does help with weight loss.  The negatives that I noticed is that I didn't loose weight (maybe a pound or two, but not enough to swear by these products), and I woke up starving to the point of nausea which isn't good.

At the same time I honestly feel like I didn't give my best to this product review, but because of a deadline I needed to post a review.  So what I'm going to do is continue to use this product, more diligently because I really do want to see weight loss going on in my body. In a couple of weeks I'll come back and post my results.  In fact I'm going to start today! Wish me luck on this journey, as I really focus as much as I can on taking this product the way it is supposed to be taken, so that I do get positive results.  I would love to come back and say I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks or 3 weeks.

Pros: I wasn't as hungry at each meal so I ate less per sitting, I ate more often but smaller portions, things flowed smoothly in the digestive area

Cons: I didn't loose weight, I woke up starving to the point of nausea

My Rating: thumbs up and down
