Paleo Balance and the Paleo Diet




Paleo diet, What is it?  (from Google/ Nerd fitness)
Paleo Diet
The Paleo Diet is an effort to eat like we used to back in the day…WAY back in the day. If a caveman couldn't eat it, neither can you. This means anything we could hunt or find – meats, fish, nuts, leafy greens, regional veggies, and seeds.
According to Robbwolf.com it is the only way we should eat.  

What Is The Paleo Diet?(quoted from Robbwolf.com)


The Paleo diet is the healthiest way you can eat because it is the ONLY nutritional approach that works with your genetics to help you stay lean, strong and energetic! Research in biology, biochemistry, Ophthalmology, Dermatology and many other disciplines indicate it is our modern diet, full of refined foods, trans fats and sugar, that is at the root of degenerative diseases such as obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, depression and infertility. – Robb Wolf
 
Robb is one of the best explanations I have found.  Here is more http://robbwolf.com/what-is-the-paleo-diet/

If you are going to start a Paleo Diet you need to detox first and you will need other nutrients in case you do not eat them all on your diet.  You need to detox, trim and get the essentials.  I found a great brand that sells all three of these.   It is named Briland Brands.  The are great quality at a lower price.  What makes it perfect is they are on Amazon.com.
 
 Can be purchased here.
 I got to try these three great products in exchange for an honest review.  I get to tell you more about them:
 
Paleo Balance 

Product Description

Briland Brands has done it again with PaleoBalance - a Whole Foods based Multi-Vitamin Pill. At 90 tablets per bottle, you're getting a month's supply of our incredible superblend of all essential vitamins and minerals - in one product!

Borrowing from PaleoTrim's successful revolutionary concept of packing the most fat burning ingredients into one pill, Briland Brands has repeated that success with a SUPERBLEND of vitamins, minerals and nutrients all-in-one pill.

The Paleolithic diet focuses on consuming the natural foods our ancestors (caveman) depended on for survival for 2.5 million years. These natural foods alone provided the vitamins, minerals and nutrients for mankind to thrive prior to the agricultural revolution and the advent of unnatural, medicinal ingredients.

Like the Paleolithic diet, PaleoBalance provides just about every benefit to the human body. All of the essential vitamins (A through E), minerals (27 recommended) and eight (8) unique whole food blends are packed into PaleoBalance. PaleoBalance is one of the most powerful pills for improving overall health as well as providing energy, mental balance, skin and digestive assistance. Many overall health supplements contain only one class of product, for example vitamins, minerals and fish oil are commonly sold separately. PaleoBalance is the result of our efforts to combine as many natural health-benefiting ingredients as possible. We would like to now share that success with you.

Buy With Confidence! Our company feedback speaks for itself. We pride ourselves in providing superior products, great value, and superior customer service.
 
What do I think? 
 
I have a lot more energy on this product.  It is amazing.  I love it because I can get things done around the house.  I am so happy and love this product.

AlternaVites Kids Review








My thoughts:  My son loves these! He takes them and ask for more so I have to limit him.  They taste like a pixie sticks candy and are very easy to take. They are easy to take Crystals that melt instantly in your mouth.  They come in two great flavors Strawberry and Raspberry.  These are amazing because my son takes pills but he does not like too.  He also use to have a choking problem so I am very scared about what I give him.  These make it real simple to make sure your kids are getting the right vitamins without the stress of pills.  Gummies get stuck on there teeth and can make your teeth have cavities if not brushed well right afterwards where this goes straight on the tongue.  Me are huge fans and my son highly recommends these.

IPurify Colon Cleanse, a Dietary Supplement Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.



My Thoughts:  I decided to try this iPurify colon cleanse because I really love cleansing my body.  I have purchased many high dollar colon cleanse and had great results.   If you are regular your body will work like it should.  This colon cleanse worked by the next day and I did not have to do a multi step process.  Just take two after dinner and it does all the work. The next morning was I was going as I should be.  I had 3 bowel movements the next day.  I really and truly like this product. In my opinion this does just as good as job as the very expensive cleanses I usually do.  Who doesn't like being regular and not feeling ill from being full of bowel?  Each time I took this it never failed byethe next day I was regular.  I highly recommend this one.

QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.




My thoughts:

I take vitamins every day and lets say it is not a pleasant experience with how many I have to take.  Heart disease runs in my family and I already have High Blood Pressure.  I take multiple vitamins and herbs to combat this problem.  CoQ10 was one of the many I take.   I got the chance to review this product and I jumped to it.  Any chance to take one less pill is the best to me.  QSpeed is a fast dissolve vitamin you melt in your mouth.  When I first started taking them I was skeptical.  My family grew up on vitamins so I am skeptical on easy out type products.  Let me say I found the taste appealing.  These pills really do melt fast almost instantly.  They are so easy to take and  you do not have to worry about gagging over pills.  I am a fan of these and personally recommend them.  Easy, Convenient, and healthy!

Superior Source Vitamin Review



"How MicroLingual® Technology Surpasses Other Nutrition Delivery Systems
  • 38% of all Americans prefer not to swallow pills
  • Many dietary supplements taken orally pass straight through the digestive system
  • Only Superior Source soft-molded MicroLingual® tablets dissolve instantly under the tongue
Compressed tablets require binders to hold them together. These needless fillers and excipients leave less room for the active ingredients essential for the effectiveness of dietary supplements. That ultimately means consumers have to take more tablets (or swallow a larger pill) to get the same effectiveness found in a Superior Source MicroLingual® vitamin tablet.
Our soft molded MicroLingual® vitamin tablets contain no excipients and rely on a small amount of acacia gum to hold them together. This results in a much more concentrated natural product about a tenth the size and weight of an equivalent standard swallowed vitamin tablet.
Superior Source Has 12 Product Categories and over 140 MicroLingual® Vitamin Products.
B-12 1000 mcg: This 60-tablet bottle is brand new and is a combination of activated B-12, activated Folate and B-6, which are three critical B vitamins required for control of elevated homocystein levels.
Why control homocystein levels?: because high levels of homocystein have been linked to cardiovascular disease. No sugar added in this vitamin either.
Just Women – Iron : Superior Source provides optimal levels of iron in our Instant Dissolve MicroLingual Tablets for efficient nutrient delivery. Ferrous fumarate helps restore iron levels in the body when levels are low. The ferrous fumarate salt may help reduce the chances of getting gastro-intestinal problems which are sometimes associated with other iron salts.
Vitamin D 1000 IU: Vitamin D works in conjunction with calcium to promote the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Superior Source Vitamin D products are D3, the finest source of Vitamin D available.
Vitamin C Sour Cherry Melts: Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that cannot be produced by the body, therefore it must be replenished daily. Vitamin C also provides support to the body’s immune system, very helpful in a season where people catch colds and flu. No sugar is added, these products are only sweetened by stevia; this is preferable to most ‘chewable’ vitamin C products that are typically loaded with lots of sugar.
Children’s B Complex with Vitamin C: Children’s B-Complex with folic acid, calcium pantothenate and biotin is formulated to provide the nutrients that support optimal health for the production and maintenance of new cells and supports nervous system health, energy metabolism, and healthy heart function.
Biotin 5000 mcg: Helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, promotes nail and hair strength and supports cell growth, metabolism of fats, amino acids and the production of fatty acids. Sugar FREE!”
-Superior Source Website"(Above is quoted from website)
I take my vitamins all the time.  There was a time I hated taking them because of the kick back as I call it.  It sends my nervous system for a second and I shake kinda like an unnerving feeling but I do not get it with these.  What is so great about these?  They are tiny little dots (with exception of the vitamin C) That you place under your tongue and they are gone within seconds.  Next thing you know your on you way easy peasy with no kick back.  They are tiny and mostly tasteless and my son loves his! and believe me it is not easy getting an Autistic tween to take his vitamins...  The most thing I noticed is the delivery because they really do work like they say.  I put a B-12 under my tongue and with in  minutes I could already feel more energetic.  I never get that with regular pills.  These are well worth it.  No kick back and quick delivery with no problems taking them  Great product....I Defiantly recommend this product, especially for a picky child. 

Where can you find these vitamins?  Click here for their Website,  Facebook,  and Twitter.  Faqs... Where to find them? Superior Source Vitamins can be found at major retailers nationwide like Whole Foods and Vitamin Shoppe and major online retailers like, Vitacost, iHerb, Walgreens, Swansons and Lucky Vitamins.

~Thank you to Superior Source for this wonderful Chance to try your products. 
~~ I received a product for this review however it had not weight on my opinions.  These opinions in this review are mine alone and where not persuaded in anyway.  No monetary compensation was received for this Review.

Vidazorb Product Review




As a mom of a child with Asperger's you hear a lot of information out there on the what I call "autism diets"  Yes, I do believe there is a link.  Our body's all have there imperfections and each generation seems to have "more" problems.  My health started deteriorating at 26.  I have had eczema my whole life.  Not to mention about another hundred problems. Depression, Unexpected weight gain (with a good diet)as a teenager.( No I honestly never liked junk food and never overate), daily headaches, stomach problems (couldn't eat in the morning without severe stomach pain.),  (now the rest started around age 26.)(get this: I am Gluten, Casein, and lactose intolerant)  Fibromyalgia, tendonitis in both knees, weak immune system, and many more but I will not bore you with it now.  I am still forever the optimist.   My son too has many ailments.  He has severe eczema bumps and has flare ups all over.  We need some natural things in our bodies to help with our bodies start to work right.  No matter if you believe the GFCF diet for autism or not most health conscious people know we need supplements in our diets.

I looked up natural helpers for children and that is when I found a twitter party for Vidazorb Belly Boost  products.  I tried to win because I was really interested in trying them. Unfortunately I did not win but I decided to write them.  They sent my son a bottle of Belly Boost and us a couple bottles of other products ( Vidazorb +OPC and Super C.)


Belly Boost (following is quoted from Vidazorb site.)

Children’s chewable probiotics in fun Zorbee™ character shapes, for healthy digestion and nutrient absorption in children aged 4 and up, with Bifidobacterium, BB-12® (50 milligrams – approximating 5 billion CFU) and S. thermophilus, TH-4™ (50 milligrams – approximating 5 billion CFU).

(back to me)


First off I started my son on a regular schedule of taking the Belly Boost. (one tablet 3 times a day.).  His health did seem to get a bit better.  His digestive system certainly was better.  They say it can help Eczema but it did not seem to help his facial eczema. He had no flare ups on his body so it really did seem to help.

The other products +OPC and Super C are also chewables like the child vitaims but are for adults.  They tasted alright but did seem to work pretty good on our over all health.  The only con I found is is the price but with a coupon code it would be perfect!

** I received products to test for the mentioned companies but it had no influence what so ever on my review.  I may seem positive on the products I review because I only write about the companies I love and buy for my home.  All my Reviews are honest and from my heart.  I received no monetary compensation for this review.
