Branch Chain Amino Acids by Natura Formulas Review + Giveaway



Branch Chain Amino Acids have become an important part of my diet & exercise routine.  Since I started taking BCAA by Natura Formulas I have noticed a significant change in the way I feel, not only while I am working out but especially after.  Before I started taking BCAA I would always experience substantial fatigue after I finished working out.  Now, I just take 2 capsules of BCAA by Natura Formulas about 30 minutes before I work out and not only do I have a better overall workout performance but I experience far less fatigue & muscle soreness afterwards.  Less fatigue and muscle soreness translates into longer and more intense workouts!  BCAA also helps build lean muscles which can help burn more fat and it can also improve strength development with training.
No workout is complete without BCAA!

Are you wanting to take your workouts to the next level?  Natura Formulas is sponsoring a Giveaway and will give one lucky winner a FREE bottle of their Branch Chain Amino Acids!  Giveaway starts 05/28/15 @ 12:00 p.m. PST and ends 06/04/15 @ 12:00 p.m. PST.  Giveaway is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only.  Good Luck!!

Exposed Skincare - Review




Anti-Acne products and skincare has come a long way since my teenage years (I'm 41) and Exposed is a great example of that evolution!  
What is Exposed Skincare?  Exposed Skincare is an acne treatment therapy developed by a collaborative effort of dermatologists, cosmetologists, naturopaths, and chemists.  Exposed treats and prevents acne in ways that were previously thought impossible.  Most products only offer limited methods of treating acne.  However, Exposed is designed to unclog blocked pores, kill acne causing bacteria and help your skin normalize the levels of sebum production, aid in the healing of skin lesions and reduce redness.  
How much does it cost?  The basic 5 piece kit includes a Facial Cleanser, Clearing Tonic, Acne Treatment Serum, Clear Pore Serum and the Derm-X Cloth for a retail price of $49.95.

The Results Are In:
Even though I am 41 I still have very oily skin (like a teenager kind of oily) and I also still deal with occasional breakouts  I haven't had to deal with any acne issues lately but I had to see for myself if Exposed could get a handle on my over active oil glands so I used the 5-Piece kit for a couple of weeks.  Overall, I was really impressed!  Even after the first use my skin seemed more balanced and not near as oily as it usually is.  I was also impressed that it didn't feel overly dry and wasn't stripped of all it's necessary moisture.  I even noticed some of my old acne spots were starting to fade!  Yay!
However, the real test was on daughters skin.  My daughter is 18 years old and has slightly oily and acne-prone skin.  She used the Exposed 5-Piece kit for about 3 weeks and had a significant improvement in her skin.  Not only did her acne clear up but most of her old acne spots disappeared and had a more smooth texture to her skin.  That's was only after a few weeks!  Overall those are impressive results!  We can't wait to see what her skin looks like after a few more weeks!

Below is her untouched before and after pictures...



The Exposed 5-Piece kit does a great job at unclogging pores and eliminating acne causing bacteria, and spots while leaving skin hydrated, soft and smooth.  I would highly recommend Exposed for anyone with oily, blemish-prone or acne-prone skin!
Plus, Exposed comes with a one year guarantee!  Use every drop of the system and if you do not achieve a reduction of your acne and smoother skin, you may return your first kit within 1 year of purchase for a full refund (minus shipping costs).

Phytoceramides by TrueSol Nutrition



As soon as I heard about Phytoceramides and what they can do for your skin, hair and nails I totally jumped on that band wagon!  You know, being a beauty and skincare addict I kinda had to...right?
Phytoceramides have been shown to increase the preservation of collagen in our skin as well as prevent elastase.  Leading dermatologists tell us these two compounds are responsible for fighting off the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, preserving the firmness and smoothness of your skin, restoring lost moisture, and lending to a younger and renewed complexion.  Phytoceramides by TrueSol Nutrition contains Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Vitamin E and powerful nutrients needed to support the production of strong, healthy skin at the cellular level, renewing and replenishing you skin!
For me taking PhytoRenew is part of my everyday skincare routine and it helps keep my skin soft and well hydrated and it's also how I intend to grow old gracefully!

Probiotic 1150 by TrueSol Nutrition



Probiotics are something that I take on a regular basis and this one by TrueSol Nutrition is my Probiotic of choice lately.  The Probiotic 1150 by TrueSol Nutrition contains pure and natural Probiotic that help balance intestinal flora, break down allergy causing proteins and improve digestive health.  Since 80% of your immune system is in your gut taking a Probiotic is almost essential to staying healthy and taking it in pill form not only ensures that you consume the right Probiotic strains but it also ensures you get the right recommended dosage.  Probiotics have also been shown to help maintain weight so I am all about taking it for that reason alone!

For more information or to purchase Probiotic 1150 by TrueSol Nutrition got to Amazon.com...

Vita Sciences Maxasorb Vitamin B12 Cream



There is a whole new way to get much need additional vitamins thanks to Vita Sciences!  I have been using their Maxasorb Vitamin B12 Cream and I like that not only can I get my much needed Vitamin B12 but that I can also help soothe and moisturize my skin thanks to the natural ingredients.
Many of us suffer from a B12 deficiency and don't even know it.  Some of the most common signs of a deficiency are fatigue, muscle weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, numbness, heart palpitations, bleeding gums and mouth sores, nausea, poor appetite (I can tell you I don't suffer from a poor appetite, lol!).  The recommended dose of B12 according to the National Institutes of Health is: people age 14 and older, 2.4 mcg;
for adult and adolescent pregnant females, 2.6 mcg
and for adult and adolescent lactating females, 2.8 mcg
People over 50 years of age should consume vitamin B12-fortified foods, or take a vitamin B12 supplement - 25-100 mcg.
The greaseless Vita Sciences Maxasorb Vitamin B12 Cream is also infused with not only moisturizers but antioxidants as well.  It quickly absorbs into your skin and can help soothe dry, itchy, or irritated skin patches from eczema or even psoriasis.  It can also be used for anti-aging since it supports renewal of healthy skin cells and reduces appearance of wrinkles!  Being a skincare addict you know I am all about that!
When Maxasorb B12 is used as directed it is a safe and reliable method of absorbing key B-Vitamins. Each 1.7 ounce bottle delivers 30 applications of lotion in protected and measured amounts.
Go to vitasciences.com to purchase or for more information on the Maxasorb Vitamin B12 Cream or any of their other products.  I'm also a big fan of their Maxasorb Melatonin Sleep Cream!  You can also find their products on Amazon.com...
