I am one of those people who embrace the idea of supplements. It’s part of the reason why I’m becoming a lot smarter in my health journey.
Back in 2016, I had an epiphany. I was sitting for hours and hours at a time at my desk doing my work, and when I would get up to move, I realized I could not move well. I was also getting pain in my feet and my legs were so swollen. I was actually quite scared about that.
I was inflamed and out of shape. I was just miserable.
I finally realized one day that our food source is horrible. I was hardly getting any nutrients in my body. I was eating like crap too!
I decided I could either keep doing what I was doing and be dead in a few years or worse, have my legs amputated, or I could do something about it.
That’s when I started juicing, supplementing my food, standing while working, and moving more. I knew I had to take over and take control of my food choices too.
Start Your Morning Complete with Activated You Probiotic & Greens
Supplements are an important part of being healthy for me. Improving and strengthening my immune system and my overall health processes was a must!
A few months back I reviewed Activated You Essential Skin Food and I saw that they had a green drink loaded with healthy vitamins and minerals. Plus they have a wonderful probiotic blend that I knew I definitely wanted to try.
I was sent the Morning Complete and the Advanced Restorative Probiotic to try out and I have been using them almost daily for the past month. Here are some thoughts about these products.
Morning Complete with Pre and Probiotics and Greens
One of the first things I noticed was that this product is to be refrigerated after opening. That tells me that there is some good active stuff going on.
One scoop in an 8-ounce shaker cup is all you need in the morning. This tastes great and is very refreshing. It’s a super fine blend that mixes up quickly with no residue.
For me, it’s a perfect way to jumpstart my morning with some healthy goodness and supplementation that my body needs. I can tell when I have not had my supplements. The Morning Complete is a great tasting way to get that start off first thing in the morning, wake your body up, and increase your energy all day.
Advanced Restorative Probiotic
I was also sent these Probiotics to check out. This is one of the items that I was really excited about because I know how important pre and probiotics are for our body.
I’m usually not prone to upset stomach, but I know I have an extremely slow digestion rate and a very slow metabolism. I was hoping that these would really kickstart my body, and I am pleased as punch with how they work.
One pill a day which I take in the morning and I really haven’t had any issue with digestion. I don’t feel bloated nor does my tummy swell if I eat the wrong thing. This is a quick and easy way to get in those billions of good biotics our body needs to function properly.
These did not upset my stomach and they are a winner in my book!
ActivatedYou is a great choice of supplements because of the quality product and the fact they are made in the USA. Plus, there are many options to save when ordering too! Check them out at the links above.
