I love NUTRITION and so can you with my new easy to understand system!
I can credit my father for educating me about supplementation of vitamins minerals and herbs
when I was a young child. There would always be some chewable vitamin C's around the house, and there was always a few health and nutrition magazines around as well. Additionally, you would also find various other supplements that he would take, and would try to get us to take (we kids usually only liked the chewable vitamins!).
Well, as time went by, I stopped taking vitamins supplements minerals and herbs in my early 20s when I got into college. About that same time, I got out of athletics for a while, gained weight, ate poorly, and looked older then than I do now, nearly 20 years later! Once I saw this change occurring in my body, I decided there must be a better way to live. Back into physical activity I went, eating healthy, and taking supplements. Lo and behold, it took pounds from my frame, added muscles to my bones, and reversed the aging process!
I've tried lots of physical activities, from tennis to kick boxing to swimming to weight lifting to dirt biking to cycling to yoga to...well, just about anything. Typically these days I've settled on biking, swimming and yoga, but will do just about anything for kicks. It's good to try new things and have new experiences. Through it all, I've taken supplements because exercise can rapidly deplete your vitamin and mineral stores (as well as hormonal stores). You can be in a lower your vitamin supplement mineral herb status than the couch potato if you neglect your supplementation for extended periods of time! And, it rears its head as you get older (and the neglect of those stores becomes symptomatic).
I love nutrition so much, and have read so many books, as well as taken so many courses in nutrition, that I decided to open my own store, which is what you see here. It is a labor of many years of love and education. I sincerely hope you find the nutritional information presented here valuable and that you enjoy the product immensely.
Best,
