I feel like this is a crazy sounding supplement, but I wanted to write about it anyways, because it really does seem to work. It's meant to help detoxify alcohol from your system and help with preventing the side effects that can come with drinking alcohol like headaches or hangovers.
Let me be clear, I'm not advocating excessive drinking, but December and the holidays can be times when we may indulge more than we normally would due to festivities or parties.
Liz had tried this after we had got it in because she was visiting her daughter at Notre Dame and there were a lot of celebrations that she went to with other parents. She said she brought along a little baggie of these (they recommend taking one capsule before each alcoholic beverage). She said she used them and couldn't believe that she didn't have any side effects like a headache or feeling bad the next day after using the anti alcohol complex.
I wanted to mention it because I thought it might be useful during the holidays and New Year's since the ingredients help to detoxify the liver and help the body recover from the effects of alcohol.
The recommendation is to take one capsule before each alcoholic beverage or else five capsules before or after drinking. We have this and all of our Life Extension products on sale every day for 20% off at Pass Health Foods, so stop by and see us for more information or if you have any questions.
New Affordable Probiotics by Natural Factors
We’ve brought in some great new probiotics that will be on sale every day, making them very affordable for a daily use probiotic. They're by Natural Factors, and most of them offer a two-month supply. They're great everyday probiotics, with good dosages for everyday use. Our favorite, their 12/12 probiotic, offers 12 billion probiotic strength over 12 different well researched strains, that we have on sale for $23.99 for a two-month supply. I feel like it's a good potency and a nice daily use probiotic. We still have a number of high potency products (True Grace's wonderful 90 billion strength probiotics for example), for people experiencing digestive issues or if you've been on antibiotics and need to replenish the good bacteria in your microbiome. I don't know that everyone needs to be taking a super high potency probiotic every day, however. It's certainly not a bad thing to do, but I think it's more important to have an affordable probiotic that has decent potency that can be used consistently.
I really like Natural Factors. They don't have the fanciest bottles or labels, but they really focus on quality. They have tons of top tier certifications for purity and transparency, and I honestly feel like they could price their products much higher than they do. They also work well with small businesses like us and are willing to offer us sales that we can pass on to our customers to further lower the prices.
I genuinely do believe in probiotics, but most of the benefits that I’ve read about talk about probiotic use over the long term. It's hard to spend a ton of money on a probiotic when the benefit is usually more far reaching versus something that you see right away like curcumin or theanine. I like these new probiotics by Natural Factors because I feel like they’re reasonable priced and are a good product that can be used every day without breaking the bank.
We should have these new probiotics on sale for at least this next 6 months, and hopefully we can continue the sale indefinitely. The 12/12 probiotic with 12 billion per capsule and 12 different strains is our favorite, but they also have a senior formula, a women's formula, and a whole variety of great probiotics that we brought in. The senior formula is really unique since it contains specific strains made to be beneficial for our digestive systems as we get older, since many feel like their digestive health can dramatically change as they get older.
Probiotics are great for digestion and the immune system which is what they're most known for, but new research is constantly coming out about the connection of digestion and our microbiome affecting so many different aspects of our health, from brain function and depression to even a new study I read today saying that probiotics helped with blood sugar control for people who were taking the prescription metformin. They're a really great thing for our overall health, and I would definitely recommend adding them to your daily regimen. Stop by the store so we can help you find the right product for your individual needs.
Two Little Known Supplements for Lung and Immune Health
I wanted to write about two little-known supplements that are great for lung health and the immune system- the amino acid NAC, and the antioxidant glutathione.
NAC
NAC is the abbreviated name for the amino acid n-acetyl-cystine. It’s a supplement with many benefits, but it’s especially helpful for lung health, particularly chronic lung issues. One of the ways NAC is helpful for lungs is by its ability to thin viscous lung and bronchial secretions, making breathing easier and improving lung function. It’s even been shown to help with increasing oxygen saturation in the blood in people with lung issues.
NAC is better when taken regularly for chronic lung issues like COPD (an inflammatory lung disease that damages the lungs and makes breathing difficult) and is shown in research to reduce disease flare-ups and also to make hospitalizations less likely. The benefits for chronic lung issues are due to both NAC's ability to thin lung secretions and mucus, but also in its ability to help reduce lung inflammation.
Regular use of NAC has also been shown to be beneficial for people with chronic bronchitis, reducing the severity and recurrence of attacks.
In addition to being fantastic for lung health, NAC is also great for the liver- it's even been used historically as a treatment for acetaminophen overdose. It's a potent antioxidant and is helpful for detoxing the body and would be a good supplement for anyone with lung issues to add to their daily regimen.
GLUTATHIONE
The other standout supplement I wanted to mention that I believe deserves more recognition is glutathione. Glutathione is produced in the body from a group of amino acids and is often referred to as the “master antioxidant” since it’s used by every cell in the body and can even help to recycle certain other antioxidant vitamins like vitamins C and E. It’s also very helpful for immune health since it can work to strengthen our immune responses to invaders like viruses and bacteria.
Even though glutathione can be made in the body, that ability is greatly reduced as we age, among other factors. Unfortunately, standard glutathione supplements have been shown in research to not be utilized very well in the body since they breaks down so quickly in the digestive tract. Up until recently that was still the best method to try to boost glutathione, but now, new lipomicellar technology has solved the absorption problem by creating a liquid micellar matrix with mirodroplets of glutathione, which makes it more stable in the digestive tract and also significantly increase absorption.
That’s all well and good, but the reason I wanted to specifically write about this new lipomicellar glutathione is because of new research showing that it’s able to enhance the immune system by boosting production and activity of key white blood cells like lymphocytes and natural killer cells to significantly improve immune functioning. In one study, people taking 500mg of a liposomal form of glutathione quadrupled their natural killer cell activity in only two weeks. Natural killer cells, or NK cells, are on the “front lines” of our immune response, they are the white blood cells that detect, target, and kill invading viruses. NK cells are also involved in the early responses against cancer and tumors, so enhancing our natural killer cells and their production is a fantastic way to care for our immune system and stay healthy. Interestingly, during the height of Covid, we had several physicians who had sent patients into our store to get glutathione to use in a nebulizer to help improve lung function and oxygen saturation. I wouldn’t suggest using glutathione in that manner without a doctor’s recommendation, but I am glad that more physicians are finding natural approaches to keep their patients healthy.
Additionally, higher levels of glutathione in the body have also been linked to improved brain function and a reduction in inflammation throughout the body, as well as a reduction in oxidative stress.

Magnesium Supplements: Understanding the Different Forms
Magnesium is a mineral needed for over 300 processes in the body, and it’s estimated that over 70% of Americans aren’t getting enough magnesium in their diets. Magnesium is most well-known for its benefits for bone health and calcium absorption, but it has many other uses throughout the body. There are a lot of different forms of magnesium, which can be confusing, so I wanted to go over some of the most popular forms below and what their specific advantages are.
Magnesium Glycinate
Magnesium glycinate is a well absorbing form of magnesium that's bound to the amino acid glycine. This form of magnesium is most often recommended for stress and insomnia, though magnesium glycinate is also helpful for migraine prevention. The only bad thing about magnesium glycinate is that it takes up a lot of room in a pill, so it's often necessary to take several capsules or tablets of pure magnesium glycinate to get the recommended daily dose.
Magnesium Malate
Magnesium malate is magnesium bound to malic acid, a natural fruit compound. Magnesium malate is well absorbed and is the form most recommended for helping with relaxing muscles and also for pain relief. This form is what is also most recommended to help people with fibromyalgia.
Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium citrate is a form of magnesium that's bound to citric acid, an antioxidant compound found in citrus fruits, and since it's a natural form of magnesium, it is absorbed well by the body. Magnesium citrate can also be used to help with constipation, since it helps to bring fluid into the intestines, working like a natural stool softener.
Magnesium L-Threonate
Magnesium L-threonate is different from other forms of magnesium in that it’s used specifically for brain health and brain function. Its dosages are also different from other magnesium. Studies have shown that Magnesium L-threonate may help to preserve brain cell and neuron health and work to prevent degenerative brain diseases. More research is needed, but the preliminary studies have been promising.
Magnesium Taurate
Magnesium taurate is a type of magnesium that’s bound to the amino acid taurine, which is prevalent in heart tissue. This form of magnesium is more geared towards cardiovascular health and is a favorite of athletes because it is often used to help to increase athletic performance.
Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium oxide is not as well absorbed into the bloodstream as other forms of magnesium, and it primarily used to help with preventing constipation. It also works to neutralize acid in the stomach, so some people find it helpful for heartburn.
Chelated Magnesium
When minerals are chelated (pronounced “chee-lated”) it means they’re bound to amino acids to enhance absorption. Magnesium glycinate is a type of chelated magnesium, though in the majority of chelated magnesium products, they aren’t specific about which amino acids the magnesium is bound to.
This is not an exhaustive list of magnesium supplements, but it includes most of the common forms. Something important to remember is to always look on the back of the bottle to see which forms of magnesium a product actually contains and what the serving size is. Also, many of the better forms of magnesium are larger molecules than other types, so to get the recommended dosage of 350 to 400mg per day, you may need more than one pill to get the dosage you’re looking for. Additionally, depending on how your body processes magnesium, if you take too much at one time, you may experience loose stools, which are your body’s way of saying that you’re taking too much magnesium at once. If you experience that, try lowering your dose or split your preferred magnesium dose into two different times in the day.
We have a lot of great magnesium products at the store, though we particularly love a product called Magnesium Breakthrough by Bioptimizers since it contains seven different forms of magnesium. Another favorite of ours is the poorly named Magnesium Citrate by Now Foods since it contains a mixture of magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, and magnesium malate in a softgel form. Stop by the store so we can help you to find the best product for your individual needs. We’re at 7228 W. College Drive in Palos Heights.
Supplements for a Healthy "Back to School"
There are a number of supplements that can be particularly beneficial as we look ahead to school starting in August, especially for young adults going away to college. It's a good idea to gather up a daily supplement care package for them to take with them to help "cover the bases".
These are a good place to start:
Multivitamins
A multivitamin can be a good idea especially for kids or young adults who might not have the best diet. I know my daughter does not eat as well as I wish she would, so I feel like a multivitamin helps to fill in the gaps. Of course, a multivitamin is not a replacement for a healthy diet, but it makes me feel better that at least she's getting the nutrients she needs. Bluebonnet has a nice easy to swallow one a day multivitamin that's gentle and food based. Since it's food-based it's not mega doses of anything, but rather just the amounts that are needed. We also have chewable vitamins or gummies for children or young adults who don't like to swallow pills.
Omega 3s
Omega 3s are what are known as essential fatty acids, meaning they're literally essential to the proper functioning of our bodies, especially for brain health. The main dietary source of omega 3 is eating fish, which most kids and young adults do not eat very much of. Supplementing with omega 3s can help with proper brain function, concentration, and even help with balancing mood. Omega 3s can't be manufactured in the body so they must be obtained through either diet or supplements. You know your kids, if they aren't eating fish, they're probably deficient in omega 3s, and one of the ways that manifests is by trouble concentrating, problems with focus, and even poor impulse control. Ensuring that your kids have a proper amount of omega 3 is a good idea just to make sure their bodies (and brains!) have what they need to be running properly.
Most omega 3 supplements are derived from fish, but we do have vegetarian sources available at the store as well. We have omega 3s in softgels, a good tasting refrigerated liquid by Barlean's, and a new gummy by Life Extension with good omega 3 potency. In general, chewables or gummies can sometimes have pretty low potencies especially when it comes to omega 3s, but we have some great ones to choose from.
Anxiety
Many young adults, and even kids since it's unfortunately happening younger and younger, have a lot of anxiety especially when looking forward to school starting. There are a number of supplements that can be really beneficial for helping young adults and kids to feel less stressed and anxious.
The amino acid theanine is one we especially recommend since it can not only help with reducing stress and anxiety but also aid in increasing focus. It can be used during the day to help with stress or before bed to help with sleep. Theanine does not make you feel tired, but it can help with improving sleep quality because it can make a person less anxious before bed.
Passionflower is a great supplement for anxiety for young adults and college students. Research at Mount Sinai found that daily use of passion flower was as effective as a prescription drug commonly used for generalized anxiety disorder.
Another supplement that we really love is Solgar's Stress and Anxiety relief. It's a one-a-day tablet that would be great for college students since it contains ashwagandha, which is great for helping with daily stress along with saffron, which is an antioxidant that is helpful for boosting mood.
For younger kids, we probably recommend sticking with theanine (an amino acid found in green tea that's been found to be safe for all ages), but for older young adults and college students, passion flower, ashwagandha, or saffron can be beneficial.
Immune Health
If you're sending your college student away to school, it's a good idea to send them with something for their immune system. Younger kids would benefit from taking something to boost the immune system once they start school as well since it's very common to get sick once all the kids are together and sharing their germs. For older young adults and college students the product Immuno Shield by Irwin Naturals is a great blend of natural immune boosters that can be used preventatively but also in higher doses if one starts to feel sick. For younger kids, we have elderberry syrup, which is a natural antiviral, and elderberry gummies which are a great (and good tasting) preventative that combine the antiviral elderberry extract with zinc, a mineral that's great for the immune system.
Other suggestions of things to think about are would be probiotics or digestive enzymes for stomach troubles if your kids have a sensitive stomach. Also magnesium can be for helpful for muscle aches, preventing headaches, and constipation

Berberine for blood sugar, weight loss, and more
Berberine is a great supplement most commonly used for helping to balance blood sugar and is often used by diabetics or pre-diabetic people to help get their blood sugar more under control. Interestingly, it also has the side benefit of helping with lowering cholesterol levels (most research on berberine and cholesterol was after a three-month period, but the benefits were impressive). It's even shown to help with improved liver health and functioning.
Lately, berberine has been in the news and all over social media as a "miracle weight loss cure". I keep seeing tons of headlines touting berberine as "Nature's Ozempic". Ozempic is a prescription approved for helping with type 2 diabetes, but has been in the news for its "off label" use for weight loss supposedly used by a number of celebrities, though I would caution against frivolously using prescription drugs and because they often come with side effects.
The main use of berberine is for lowering blood sugar, but it also helps with insulin resistance which goes hand in hand with weight gain. Insulin is a hormone produced in the body that basically helps us to convert food into energy, specifically by helping blood sugar to enter the cells so it can be used to fuel our bodies. Over time, people can become insulin resistant, usually from a combination of poor diet and excess weight, particularly around the midsection, which when untreated, can lead to type 2 diabetes.
When your cells become resistant to insulin, they don't have enough glucose (or blood sugar) and that makes your body feel hungry (because it's kind of like your cells are starving), which makes you eat more; then that excess food and glucose is stored as fat. Berberine can help your cells to respond better to insulin and help needed blood glucose to go into your cells to be used. When your cells have more glucose, you feel satisfied and less hungry. It’s also just really beneficial to your body. High blood sugar levels and insulin resistance over time not only can cause type 2 diabetes, but it can be damaging to our organs and cardiovascular health.
Insulin resistance is directly connected to weight gain and problems losing weight. Also, more stable blood sugar can also help with reducing cravings, particularly cravings for sugar and carbohydrates. High blood sugar over time can also damage the body in lots of different ways, leading to nerve damage and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
Research has found that berberine may have similar effectiveness in lowering blood sugar and helping insulin resistance as the prescription drug metformin. Scientists have also researched using berberine and metformin together for a greater benefit, but I would speak with your doctor before changing your health plan or adding natural products to a prescription regimen.
Berberine has also been shown to have both neuroprotective and cardiovascular-protective effects and a host of other benefits.
It really seems like berberine is joining a select group of supplements that research is showing to be good for all sorts of things, from helping blood sugar and cholesterol to cardiovascular health and blood pressure to digestive issues like leaky gut, and even possibly helping the brain with anxiety disorders. Research is still ongoing about a number of different aspects of berberine's potential benefits, and it will be interesting to see what new benefits are discovered in the coming years.
A standard dose of berberine is a 500 mg capsule taken two or three times a day, but we've just gotten in a new lipo-micellar form at Pass Health Foods that's better absorbed, which may mean you could take a smaller amount with similar effectiveness.
This new form greatly increases absorption. Berberine is great and has shown to be really effective but it's hard for the body to absorb (and yet it shows such promise in research even with low absorption).
Supplements in the lipo-micellar form have been shown to have a much higher absorption rate, making them more useful in the body since they are in a form that the body is able to easily absorb and use.
With any supplement, it's really about what you're absorbing. Regular berberine is great, though I would say that this new lipo-micellar form is definitely better, and it may be that one pill of the lipo-micellar form of berberine is equal to two or even three pills of a regular berberine. It's brand new though, so there isn't really any research that has compared the two in an actual study yet.
Regardless of which form you use I think it's a great supplement with good research behind it. I also love supplements that help a variety of things vs. just doing one beneficial thing in the body.
As with any supplement, it's a good idea to speak with your doctor or pharmacist first. Berberine is not recommended for people taking certain cancer medications or immunosuppressant drugs and is not recommended while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Stop by and see us at 7228 W. College Drive in Palos Heights, we have a great selection of berberine on sale and have a kind, knowledgeable staff.
Keeping Pets Calm and Safe on the 4th
The fireworks on the 4th (and 3rd of July in Palos Heights) are wonderful to watch, but for many pets it can be a rough time. We have a few products I wanted to recommend that we think can really help pets to feel calmer during the holiday.
The first is Vital Planet Calm for Pets. They’re soft chews with relaxing supplements that are safe for pets that can help them to feel less stressed and anxious. The nice thing about these treats is that they don’t need to be used daily for them to be effective; they can be used as needed and can really make a difference.
Another long-time favorite is our Green Gorilla CBD for Pets. It’s best known for pain relief for older dogs, but just like how CBD can help with stress and anxiety in humans, it can also help pets to feel relaxed and less stressed.
We also have quite a few customers that swear by Bach's Rescue Remedy drops for pets to keep them calm during the holiday.
Additionally, one thing we would definitely recommend would be to keep your pets inside on the days surrounding the 4th of July. Every year there are so many posts on Facebook about dogs going missing who were in fenced in yards who somehow escaped during the 4th of July, which makes sense because if dogs are really frightened they might be able to somehow jump over a fence or break through a gate or any number of things. Please make sure you have a safe place indoors for your pets leading up to the 4th.
Stop in the store before the 4th (we’ll be closed on Tuesday for the holiday and will be closing at 3pm on the 3rd) to pick something up for your pet that can help them get through what might be a stressful time for them.
New Curcumin Supplements for Optimum Absorption
Curcumin is the beneficial extract of turmeric, and has become very well known for its benefits for reducing inflammation and for pain relief. Turmeric is the yellow spice often used in Southeast Asian and Indian foods.
People often get turmeric and curcumin confused, but just like an orange has vitamin C, turmeric has curcumin. The reason a person would take turmeric as a supplement would be to get the curcumin it contains. The problem is, turmeric is only about 4% curcumin, and on top of that, curcumin in its natural state is difficult for the body to absorb. As with anything, what really matters is how much of something your body is actually using versus what you're swallowing.
Due to absorption issues and advances in curcumin supplements, we've always recommended the Solgar Full Spectrum Curcumin because our research had shown that that form of curcumin and the way it's made makes it better absorbed than any other curcumin we’ve found.
We still love the Solgar curcumin, but we've found a new curcumin by Natural Factors that is supposed to be a similar product with similar absorption. It's also a water-soluble extract, but it's made in a different way than our Solgar one, but with a similar effect for absorption.
The curcumin in Natural Factors Theracurmin is ground down to 1/100th of the size, and then it's coated in a natural ingredient to make it water-soluble, which is then dried so it's in a powder form, in a small capsule.
The best part is that it's a very good price. We still absolutely love the Solgar curcumin and think it really works, but it's looking like this new Natural Factors Double Strength Theracurmin will have similar absorption and effectiveness, at a higher strength per pill at a lower price (the "double strength part is important since they have a" regular strength" version that's less potent that we don't carry). Each pill if their "double strength" also a little higher concentration of the extract than our Solgar Curcumin and the pills are smaller.
Our Solgar Curcumin 30ct. sale price is $26.39 (the regular price $32.99) and the new Natural Factors Theracurmin 30ct. is on every day sale for $22.46 (the regular price is $29.95). It's not a huge difference, but it is less. For this month, we do have a supply of $5 off coupons for the Natural Factors curcumin, so it brings the price down to $17.46, which is a pretty good price. Remember, the Theracurmin is also a little more potent per pill.
We'd recommend giving it a try this month to see if it works for you. Everyone's body is different, and the only way to see if something helps is to try it, no matter how glowing the research might be. For some people, the Solgar curcumin might work better, it vice versa, so we'd just suggest trying it to see what you think.
The nice thing about curcumin, whichever type you’re taking as long as it's a well-absorbed version, is that results are usually seen quickly, usually within the first week, sometimes even sooner. If you have joint pain or injury pain or pain from whatever, we'd recommend giving curcumin a try. Research has shown it has similar effectiveness to that of ibuprofen, but unlike over the counter medicines like ibuprofen, curcumin isn't hard on the body and is safe to take every day. There are even side benefits: there is preliminary research linking the use of curcumin to a reduced risk of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases (nothing conclusive, but still). Curcumin use has also been shown beneficial for cardiovascular health and for cancer prevention.
Facial Serums - You should probably be using one
I wanted to write about serums this month, because I think they're really easy to add to your beauty regimen, and I think they really make a difference.
Serums are meant to be used after washing your face, before a lotion or face cream. They're not a substitute for facial moisturizer, but they're a way to give a concentrated dose of nutrients to your skin, which are then further locked in by your face lotion.
Serums are best applied to damp, freshly washed skin. They often come in a pump or dropper bottle. Apply the serum onto your skin and wait a minute or two to let it absorb into your skin before applying your facial lotion (I'd recommend using one with an SPF, we have a couple of great ones by Andalou, including their new Blue Light line, which has a great SPF 30 facial lotion).
A serum is basically like taking a supplement for your face, giving a concentrated dose of antioxidants or anti aging nutrients to the delicate skin on your face.
I've been using a serum for several months now, and am really thrilled with using them. I personally use Andalou's Brightening with turmeric and vitamin C which help with repairing skin, especially from sun damage. We have a lot of other great serums that are favorites of our customers from DermaE, Andalou, and Reviva, so stop in if you'd like a recommendation.
New Weight Loss Research - Moro Orange Extract
I don't often like to write about weight loss supplements, because I feel like so many of them are only effective when used along with diet and exercise, which of course is the best way to lose weight. We really don't recommend crazy crash diets or anything else like that.
I came across some new research this past month though, of a weight loss supplement with pretty impressive research behind it.
The product is a gummy called Mediterranean Weight Management by Life Extension; it uses an extract of the Moro orange, which has shown very impressive results in research. There have been two studies showing the Moro orange extract for weight loss, using the amount in two gummies of the product. The first was a placebo-controlled study done over 12 weeks, it had a group of women who did not change their diet and exercise routines, and those that used the Moro orange extract had an average of a 2.79 inch reduction in their waistline (equivalent to about two pants sizes), and an overall weight loss of 4%. That seems almost too good to be true, but a second study confirmed its benefits. The second study was done over six months, and showed an overall waist size reduction of 1.54 inches (about one pants size) reduced abdominal fat by 11.3%, and overall weight loss of 4.2% on average.
The trouble with a lot of weight loss supplements is that there will be research on it but if you look into the studies in more detail, it's often giving people crazy doses of things which people would never use in real life, but the amounts used in these studies are the amounts found in one serving of two gummies of the Life Extension product I mentioned above.
Since they're in gummy form, they're easy to take and are good tasting. Usually I'm not the biggest fan of gummies because I often feel like they aren't able to get that much of an active ingredient in a gummy and still have it taste good. A lot of gummies, you need to take a whole handful of them to really make a difference (not in all cases, but it's definitely a problem with gummies sometimes). They're an easy way to take supplements though, and it seems easier to remember to take something when it’s good tasting.
Still, even with the impressive research above, I don't think there's any supplement, particularly supplements for weight loss, that's going to be effective for everyone.
The recommended dose that was used in the study is only two gummies, which I feel like is an easy thing to take. Also, the nice thing about this supplement for weight loss is that it shouldn't raise blood pressure or "soup you up", so it can be taken in the evenings if you want, though we would probably recommend using them earlier in the day for effectiveness.
These gummies use a branded extract of the Moro orange called Morosil. Morosil is said to be rich in bioactive substances that help to break down fat cells and suppresses adipogenesis (the formation of new fat cells). It’s also been shown in research to reduce fat storage by about 50% and also to help in shrinking adipose tissue (the scientific name for fat cells).
Something else to keep in mind if you try this new supplement, is that the studies were done over about 12 weeks to show the difference. As with any supplement, it's a good idea to give it some time to work.
I feel like these gummies are worth a try, especially since they're also a good antioxidant, and they taste great. If you try them, let us know if you have any success!
