Daily Dose of Vitamins

I do not get nearly the vitamin and nutrients I need on a daily basis, even if I try to eat extremely healthy. For that reason, I decided to go to the Vitamin Shoppe and find something that would fill all my needs. As I mentioned in the post about my New Years resolutions, I'm trying to better my health habits and tone up my body. 

I have done some research on vitamins and what is good for you. I first wanted to get a good multi-vitamin because it has a little bit of everything you need. Next, I wanted biotin, I heard it is an amazing vitamin that helps your hair and skin- must be magic! Also, fish oil, I have heard so many good things about fish oil and how good it is for you and your brain. After that, I wasn't sure what I wanted. 

When I got to the Vitamin Shoppe I took a look at everything to see what would be the best combination for me. I found a lot of vitamins that had a lot of what I needed, but the best one I found were the Mytrition personal packs. There were two different ones I really liked, but couldn't decided which one I really wanted. Lucky for me, there was a sale at Vitamin Shoppe that included the two packs I wanted-- buy one get one 50% off. I couldn't pass that up, so I got both! 

The first pack was the Beauty PersonalPack. I really wanted it because it had biotin and the fish oil pills, plus a lot more vitamins that are really good for you. Included in the beauty pack is a 30-day supply. There are 8 different pills that you will take daily:

•   Multivitamin (2) provides broad-spectrum support for your healthy lifestyle. Helps to fill nutritional gaps and support total-body wellness. Provides a full daily serving or more of many essential vitamins and minerals.

•   Omega-3 Fish Oil provides high-levels of EPA (600mg) and DHA (240mg) to support brain, eye and cardiovascular health.

•   Collagen (2) 1000 mg to support skin health.

•   Lutein 20 mg, including naturally occurring zeaxanthin to support skin moisture & elasticity and protect against free radicals.

•   Biotin 5 mg may help support nail structure and strengthen hair

•   Vitamin D3 2000 IU to support bone and immune health.

I feel that it is really important to take care of your skin, so when I saw this pack I was really excited. There are so many different benefits provided in this pack, I can't wait to start seeing results. 

 I started the beauty personal pack on Tuesday, January 13. I will start the women's personal pack the next month, so stay tuned! I will keep everyone posted on how I feel after taking these vitamins for a while.

The second pack was the Women's Personal Pack. With this pack, I felt like it was an all around good vitamin selection for my body. This pack also included the daily dose of fish oil pills! There are 7 different pills that you will take daily: 

•   Multivitamins (2) provides broad-spectrum support for your healthy, active lifestyle. They help fill in gaps in nutrition and support total-body wellness. Provides a full daily serving or more of many essential vitamins and minerals.

•   Omega-3 Fish Oil provides high-levels of EPA (600 mg) and DHA (240 mg) to promote brain, eye, and cardiovascular health.

•   Coenzyme Q-10 100 mg for energy production and antioxidant support.

•   Green Tea Extract to promote a healthy metabolism and provide antioxidant support.

•   Cranberry to support urinary tract health.

•   Vitamin D3 2000 IU to support bone and immune health.

I am really excited about the green tea extract and the coenzyme. I don't think I can pick a favorite pack because both have so many different benefits that I can't wait to try.

Looking forward to seeing results and keeping everyone posted.
