13 Fruits In One Pill

Swanson has combined 13 fruits in one supplement, just in case you don't get your daily fruits. If you want to nourish your body, this supplement is for you. It contains vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and phytonutrients so you can rest assured that you've taken care of your health today.

Do you ever wonder about your diet? Thinking maybe you need to add more nutritious foods to it, but you never get around to it? Do you not like the taste of many foods that are supposed to be healthy for you? This supplement is a great substitute.

You may even say it's better than the grocery store fruits, with their pesticides and low nutrient levels from storage. You might be better off using this supplement every day.

Take a look at what's in a serving:
  • apple 80mg
  • apricot 80mg
  • cherry 80mg
  • lemon peel 80mg
  • orange peel 80mg
  • papaya 80mg
  • peach 80mg
  • strawberry 80mg
  • freeze dried grape juice 50mg
  • freeze dried orange juice 50mg
  • freeze dried pineapple juice 50mg
  • prune juice 40mg
  • cranberry juice 20mg

You would have a hard time getting this many nutrients another way. It's simple, yet it could be the difference between feeling run-down or feeling healthy. Many people claim more energy when taking these supplements. If you know you aren't getting what your body needs, maybe you should consider a fruit supplementation.

Swanson Vitamin's Apple Pectin Review

Apple Pectin is a supplement made from apple fiber. Apples are a great source of soluble and insoluble fiber. I bought and took Swanson Vitamin's Apple Pectin and compared it to other types of fiber.

The measure of how good fiber works is general shown in the difference in your bowel movements. With Apple Pectin, my bowel movements came less often than with Psyllium Husks and Glucomannan. I didn't notice much of a difference between taking the apple pectin and taking no type of fiber supplement. It really did not help me.

The only good thing about the apple pectin is the size of the pills. They are smaller pills and easier to swallow than most fiber pills. Also, they don't have a bad taste. As for effectiveness, I didn't notice it.

I usually enjoy Swanson's products for the quality and price. You can normally "feel" them working and see a result with these products. They are definitely better quality than most other brands. I have to say I'm not pleased with their Apple Pectin and I will be switching to another fiber supplement made by them soon. In fact, it's on it's way now to be shipped.

I'll be trying and reviewing Swanson Vitamin's Glucomman+.

Swanson Vitamin's Green Tea Review

I bought Swanson Vitamin's Green Tea on a buy one get one sale at their website. I love those buy one get one deals they have. I am just about to finish my first bottle and thought I would write what I think about this product.

The reason I am showing you the specific product is because there are other green tea capsules made by swanson that are a little different. There is actually a stronger green tea extract made by them which I will most likely buy next. I thought this product was great, especially for the price. You are paying $3.50 for pure green tea leaves in a capsule. No, it's not an extract, but it's still a great value and a great product.

Most of the effects of green tea can only be measured by medical tests, such as checking blood pressure and cholesterol levels. There are also anti-aging effects and anti-cancer effects with green tea. These simply cannot be measured unless you do a long term study, which by the way there have been long term studies which prove green tea to be effective in these areas.

What I can measure is the way it makes me feel, the weight loss aspect, and the energy. Yes it did give me more energy. Some people have claimed that this product makes it hard for them to sleep if they take it too late in the day. I didn't have this problem at all, but I did feel more energy when taking this product.

Swanson's Green Tea made me feel a little more like getting up and doing things. As far as weight loss goes, yes I have lost some weight. Green tea is known for a slow, steady, but permanent weight loss.

Those who drink 5 cups of green tea per day can expect to lose an extra 8 lbs a year through thermogenesis. Obviously it's not a miracle pill, but when taken with other weight loss herbs, can you imagine the outcome? Definitely some great weight loss is the outcome.

That's what I did. I didn't take this green tea alone. I also take other weight loss herbs with it. So I cannot attribute all of my weight loss to the green tea alone. It was a combination of weight loss herbs plus some exercise and a little bit of diet restrictions but not too many.

Even though I did take green tea along with other herbs, at first I was only taking the green tea. That is how I am able to give an accurate review of this product, because I did take it alone without the addition of anything else for a while. Over all, this is a great product, especially if you want to drink green tea but hate the flavor or don't have the time to make it. It's great for energy and some extra weight loss.

Just remember, you won't lose a ton of weight. You will want to combine it with other weight loss herbs like the ones mentioned on this website. You can find a full list if you click the "Weight Loss Herbs" tab at the top of the page. Most of those listed there are on sale for cheap at Swanson's website. You can also look them up for the cheapest price by clicking the "Buy Supplements" tab.

Swanson Vitamin's Coconut Oil Review

I purchased Swanson Vitamin's Coconut Oil and I have just finished the whole bottle. I wanted to write about my thoughts on the coconut oil and what it did for me, etc.

The bottle says to take one to two soft gels per day. I chose to take one per day. Some people have complained that they are hard to swallow. Yes the soft gels are big, but also they are soft and smooth so they go down easily. They are easy to swallow for me.

Coconut oil is known for what it does to your hair, skin, and nails. It helps hair to grow, skin to glow, and nails to strengthen and lengthen. I did notice I had to cut my fingernails and toenails more often. I'm sure it made a difference in my skin, but to be honest I can't tell much. I don't have acne so I didn't use it for that purpose.

Yes it does help your hair to grow. You know those little fine hairs all over your body? The ones you normally can't see but you know they are there. Well, coconut oil made those more noticeable. That is something I didn't particularly like, but it's proof that the coconut oil does what it claims to do. As for the hair on my head, I'm sure it's more soft and longer but my hair was already soft and long so it's hard to tell.

As far as weight loss goes, I did lose weight. I can't say it's all because of the coconut oil, but coconut oil definitely had something to do with it. I noticed more energy when I took coconut oil. It helped me "get up" in the morning.

All in all, I can tell it's a fine quality coconut oil because I saw the great effects that you should expect from coconut oil such as hair growth, nail growth, and energy, etc.

I didn't experience any side effects with this coconut oil. Obviously I'm not like you, so you may not have the same experience. The price is great. It's only $3 for one bottle. Each soft gel has 1,000 mg of coconut oil in it. There are 60 soft gels in the bottle. If you choose to take two per day, this bottle will last you one month. If you choose to take one per day, this bottle will last you 2 months.

I would purchase this coconut oil again. I didn't repurchase but that's only because I am trying out some other herbs at this time and I don't want to spend my whole day swallowing pills. So yes I will repurchase at some point, but not at the moment.

Swanson Vitamin's Coconut Oil would be great for anyone who needs to improve the quality of their skin or nails. Also especially great for anyone who wants their hair to grow faster or look more healthy and shiny. It's also great for those who need to feel more energy.

Another great thing about coconut oil is it's anti-aging effects. Obviously I didn't take it long enough to see effects. Even if I did take it long enough, I'm pretty young so I wouldn't see any effects. But, it could be really helpful for someone who wants to turn back the clock a little.

Swanson's coconut oil was a great value and a good buy.
