Swanson Vitamins review
Monday, April 11, 2011
I came across Swanson Vitamins website while on twitter one day. I stopped by the site to see what they had to offer. As I clicked through the website I realized how much they really had to offer. Swanson Vitamins doesn't just sell vitamins but also: supplements, healthy foods/snacks, beauty products, pet products, and weight loss products.
I had the opportunity to choose several Swanson Health Products. Understand that I am no expert in vitamins or supplements. Any benefits listed are from the website. You should always consult your doctor before adding herbs or supplements to your daily routine as some can have undesired effects with certain medications or health conditions.
I take multi-vitamins regularly. So do my children. This was recommended by both mine and my boys' Dr. One of my major complaints is that I never have enough energy. When I was looking over the site I found Multi Vitamin Energy Plus for Women. Sounded like a winner for me. I bought the smaller bottle just to try it. Since I started taking these vitamins I've felt like I have had more energy. In fact, I started back into a work out routine. Whether it's just me or it was the vitamins I don't know for sure but I do think they helped in some way.
While browsing I was looking at their buy one get one free deals. I found the supplement Swanson Chromium Picolante. I'm hoping to lose a few before our first family vacation to the beach. I was looking for something that might help me kick start my weight loss. This was listed in Swanson's best weight control formulas category. It says that chromium is an essential mineral for everyone. You shouldn't take it though if you are diabetic or hypoglycemic. I decided to give it a try.
Then there is of course the Natural Omega-3 Fish Oil there are said to be many benefits of fish oil including cardiovascular health, mind, and bone benefits.
For the kids I wanted to try a healthy snack. Well, maybe for me too. I found Organic Freeze-Dried Strawberry Slices on the their site. Everyone here loves strawberries. I thought these would make a great healthy snack for the kids. I got the bag and they lasted all of 2 days I think. They are 100% organic, unsweetened, and no added ingredients. They are similar to the dried strawberries in cereals.
The prices are very reasonable on Swanson's website. When comparing the quantity with the same type of product on other sites, the products are often cheaper. Granted you have to figure in shipping too. Shipping is only $4.95. If you order several of your regular products at the same time you'd end up saving money still. Also check out their buy one get one free category and their online specials for even more deals.
Shipping from Swanson Vitamins was so fast. I received my order in 2 days! Sign up for Swanson Vitamins email newsletter to get promo codes and discounts in your email. There is a box for that on the left side of their home page about half way down.
***I received a $25 gc to Swanson Vitamins website to order products I would like to review. In order to complete an actual review of products and services. I did not receive any monetary compensation for this post. Any opinions expressed are my own. Any product info is taking from the website or the container it came in. I'm am not an expert in the are of supplements/vitamins. You should always consult your doctor before starting a new supplement/herb regimen. ***
