The BEST of the BEST VITAMINS ~ in my humble opinion

[Kimberly Walker (& Donald)]

When it comes to your well being, there are no guarantees. However, the daily decisions you make may have a tremendous effect on the outcome of your overall health. The better your nutritional status, the better all systems–including your immune system–will be. Committing to take the necessary steps toward giving our body the best possible defenses against disease is part of us aligning ourselves with and agreeing with GOD in the care of the temple of the Holy Spirit.

After being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia I began looking for a powerful vitamin supplement. I tried 4 over the course of about 2 years and came back to USANA ESSENTIALS.

USANA Mega Antioxidant, is a balanced, high-potency blend of 30 vitamins (including high values of vitamin D which is the vitamin researchers are finding FM patients to be deficient in), antioxidants, and other important nutrients to support cellular metabolism and to counteract free-radical damage.

USANA Chelated Mineral is a complete spectrum of essential minerals, in balanced, highly bioavailable forms. They contain high concentrations of Magnesium and Manganese - both known to relax muscles and relieve pain.

While taking them I really experience increased energy, better sleep, and overall better well being. My recommendation for an EXCELLENT vitamin and mineral supplement is the USANA ESSENTIALS!

They are reasonably priced - comparable with other high end supplements and a bottle usually lasts me approximately 6 weeks. Purchasing them on their "auto-ship program" will give you the best "BANG for your buck".

I do not receive ANY financial compensation for recommending USANA products; although, I have considered selling them because I am so certain of their value. You can go directly on the USANA website to purchase the product. I would be happy to help you set up your purchase or account if you would like. Just shoot me a note with any questions or we can set up a time to talk.

USANA does sell other nutritional and whole body care products that might be of value to you - however, I am not familiar with most of them.

Thank you SO much Kimberly. I have tried for 2 years to 'go it alone' and have found it difficult to say the least. I am so grateful for your recommendation and will check it out tonight - I am hoping they ship to UK....will let you know how I get on.

[Kimberly Walker (& Donald)]

Yes, Linda! I called today on this and they mail to Northern Ireland. Let me know how I can help you order whould you decide this is a route for you.

This is fascinating to me, Kimberly and I so wish I could take a product with multiple vitamins and minerals together, but so far to date I cannot and it's against my specialists directions. I'm praying in time, eventually I will be able to and so have jotted this company down for further reference, so thank you so much. It's good to have a recommendation.

I do have a question for you...do they come in powder or liquid formulas as well have you noticed? I basically take very few vitamins and minerals as I react to most, but in most cases it is due to the dyes, binders and the capsules. So, for instance I use mostly Thorne, as I can get buffered C powder--no binders to worry about and I can easily swallow it. Same with my calcium, pure powder that I put into hot cereals and so it goes. I'd tell you more, but don't want to scare anyone.....lol....but for real, there are certain forms of vitamins I cannot tolerate so if I supplement, I must do so one at a time. My D has to be by prescription I am so low and have my blood levels checked every 3 mths. I know God can move mountains and I am looking forward to the day I will be able to take more as my immune system balances and improves.

I too have heard and know from the past that magnesium and maganese works wonders for the muscles. I think all fibro people should be taking it if they are able. Sounds like an excellent product.....

Thanks for sharing, Diana. I admit that it was a quite frightening experience when I suddenly realized I could no longer take even a mulit-vitimin or other over the counter products I had taken since I was a child. I'm so sorry to hear that you struggle with this challenge, but am thankful to my toes that you shared it...it does help.

Yes, I am known also to go around saying 'baby steps'. They do all add up.

I join you in rejoicing for all who are helped ......

I have discovered tonight Kimberly that there is a USANA UK site - shipping direct from UK which is helpful.
They list a USANA ESSENTIALS HEALTHPACK at £ 94.00 GBP which I think is for a pack of 100.... pricey!
- there is also ESSENTIALS- Mega anti-oxidants and chelated minerals at £ 35.00 GBP although this doesn't mention how many in the pack.

Can you say what you advise - or maybe we get together and discuss sometime?

[Kimberly Walker (& Donald)]

Absolutely BUY the ESSENTIALS- Mega anti-oxidants and chelated minerals!! Yes the other is quite PRICEY! The Essentilas should last you a month. Not sure the conversion - but here in the US it costs just at $45.00 if you get on their AUTOSHIP and for us that is a VERY REASONABLE price for a GOOD supplement!

I also posted a NEW FORUM DISCUSSION: Herbal and Vitamain suggestions for achey muscles where I put some other suggestions for HOLISTIC measures towards GOOD HEALTH!!
