Good Morning, Sunshine
We’ve all had those mornings when no amount of coffee can shake off that drowsy, I-want-to-go-back-to-bed feeling. For this, Hyland’s has come up with a natural fatigue fix, aptly named Good Morning. The tag line says it all: “Seize the day after a sleepless night.” This non-habit-forming formula, featuring a blend of homeopathic remedies, is designed to help relieve drowsiness, fatigue, irritability, and mental lethargy. It provides a healthy boost of energy without causing side effects. We’ve tried this product and can report that it really works!
Commit to Memory
These days, people of all ages want to boost their brain function and memory-not just older folks. Bricker Labs offers men and women, young and old, an innovative way to gain a mental edge with Memory Matters. It features a proprietary formula called Neumentix Phenolic Complex, extracted from the antioxidant-rich spearmint plant. According to one study, subjects taking 900 mg daily showed improvements in working memory and accuracy, as well as better sleep. One pill daily helps improve cognitive performance, including short-term memory and multi-tasking. Put your memory to the test: visit cambridgebrainsciences.com to take a four-part memory assessment, sponsored by Bricker Labs.
Stay-Well Spray
Looking for broad immune health support? Think maitake. We love Mushroom Wisdom’s Maitake D Fraction EZ Spray, a portable and easy-to-absorb form of the medicinal mushroom. Maitake has been shown in numerous studies to enhance immune system function. Daily use can decrease your odds of catching a cold or the flu-or shorten the duration of an illness if you come down with something. The spray version contains the same concentrated extract used in Mushroom Wisdom’s PRO 4X formula.
A Golden Oldie
Golden Milk is a revered ancient beverage used in Ayurveda to nourish the body and support physical and mental health. Made with turmeric, dates, and a blend of herbs, Gaia Herbs Golden Milk is based on this centuries-old healing tradition. Turmeric is best-known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving benefits, but it also excels at promoting brain health, cleansing the blood and liver, and improving skin health (turmeric has recently become popular as an anti-acne herb). Just mix 1 tsp. of this vanilla-infused powder into any warm milk
of your choice.
Wipe the Slate Clean
Most cleansing wipes on the market are made with triclosan and other chemicals that have been linked to weakened immunity, dry skin, skin allergies, and even hormone disruption. It’s time to try an alternative. We love Babo Botanicals’ new Hydrating & Soothing 3-In-1 Face, Hands & Body Cleansing Wipes. These pre-moistened cloths contain nourishing herbal ingredients that leave skin soft and hydrated. They’re hypoallergenic and ideal for sensitive skin. Pick from Lavender & Meadowsweet, Sensitive Baby Oatmilk & Calendula, and Cucumber & Aloe Vera. The baby wipes are great for anyone with eczema, or dry or sensitive skin.
