Many of you have heard about the postive effect red yeast rice seems to have on cholesterol levels. Well, we did actually hear back from a customer that was using our Good 'N Natural Red Yeast Rice and he told us that his cholesterol levels dropped by quite a bit. From 200 to 158!

I had to face it. I was overweight and needed to lose my excess fat. I had been thinking about it since the beginning of the year, watching Biggest Loser, I Can Make You Thin, and trying to get motivated. I finally started on a diet that I thought would be best for me a little over a month ago. This diet has me eating 4 meals a day, let's me choose the foods I like from a list, and then generates menus that tell me exactly what to eat for each meal. It takes all of the decisions out of my hands. There's no more deciding what I should eat--I simply eat what it tells me to out of the foods I already told it I liked.

The diet pretty much eliminates all grains and processed sugars for an eleven-day period. It's the first time in my life that I have restricted myself that much from those specific foods.

Well, one thing I noticed within the first eleven-day period was that my allergies greatly improved. I should have been absolutely miserable because of all the growth this spring along with pretty strong and consistent winds. While everyone else around me was suffering, I was doing ok! I could tell I still had allergies, but no sinus headache to speak of, no need for my nasal washes, and nothing like last year when I was so bad off that I tried the nasal wash in the first place to get relief!

So all of that to say that I feel better for longer than I have felt in quite a while. And oh yeah, I've lost 16 pounds in 32 days. Not bad, eh?

We finally were informed of the reason behind our calcium ascorbate shortage as well as some of the other pricing pressures on our country's supplements. As many of you already know, China has some of the worst air pollution in the world, mainly due to all of the coal-based electrical generation but also increasingly due to the mounting number of cars. Because of the Olympics being there this summer, China wants to drastically cut their air pollution and has quickly enacted a clean air act that has actually shut down several supplement factories including the ones that were making pretty much all of the calcium ascorbate used in the US.

We have been able to purchase more of the calcium ascorbate, but this purchase was even more expensive than the last one just a month or so ago and so we will have to raise prices again by a couple of dollars a pound in the next week or so. So hurry and place your order by using the link below. It is still significantly less expensive than the Ester-C powder that we also have back in stock now.
