Daily Health Tips update for May 1:
You’ve heard of lysine and have probably even seen it in the
vitamin aisle, but what the heck is it and what can it do for you?
Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means we need it, but it’s
not found in our bodies naturally, so we have it get it from
sources like meat, fish, eggs, avocados, nuts and dairy products.
We usually manage to get enough of it to keep ourselves healthy,
but here are four interesting benefits that might make you...

I
was searching the internet looking for Dr. Mercola's book Take Control Of
You Health, for the best price. I came across Swanson's
Vitamins and got the best price out there for this book. I read the
book front to back and starting researching things that Dr.Mercola
talked about. So, when I made my first list of vitamins and
essential oils, and was heading out to our local health food
store, I decided to check Swanson's out and realized I had more
organic options as well as better prices. They...

Where do I begin!!?? I shopped
for years at an expensive health food store near where I live. I
was always sick when I left there because of the amount of money I
spent... but I loved knowing I was getting quality
vitamins/supplement... A friend recommended Swansons and boy am I
glad she did! The products are top notch, the shipping is amazingly
fast and I LOVE being able to read actual customer reviews before
purchasing... Something you definitely don't get from a store. I
was hesitant at first...

I was one of those people who bought their vitamins at the
nearest grocery store or retailer. I thought I was doing myself a
favor by taking vitamin/herbal supplements. Little did I know there
are a lot of low quality supplements out there. Then a friend told
me about Swanson's Health Products. WOW. What a difference in how I
feel today from way back when. I constantly lecture people on
spending their money wisely when it comes to vitamin supplements.
Swanson's Vitamins actually save me money...

It all
started the year after I graduated high school, I was mostly
trouble free in the health department until then. I was stricken
with horrible skin, dozens of red marks and horrible acne in
particular during my senior year of high school, which caused me an
immense amount of personal pain, and social anxiety. I resorted to
a radical solution for my problem, which came in the form of
Accutane. Accutane is a very powerful acne drug, with more than a
handful of major possible side effects. I...

I started shopping at Swanson Vitamins about 3 years ago. I'm a
mother of 4 (15,13,12,3), a wife, and have five, four legged
friends (4 goats and 1 dog). I am a big believe in natural healing
& health. We live in a rural area and the closest health foods
store is about 35 miles from my home. I needed to find a place
online to buy good quality products at a fair price for all the
members of my family, human and animal alike. After researching
companies I found that Swanson had great prices,...

1. I get to preview products before they hit the
web.
One of the perks of being a writer is that I get to see every new
product and brand we’re bringing in before customers are able to
purchase them online. While writing the copy that appears on the
item detail page, I’m able to learn about them and find ones I want
to try.
2. I get to pretend I know how to cook when working on our
cooking videos.I don’t cook. I don’t bake. And I don’t try new foods. So how I
wound up on the team that makes...

Recipe email time again! This
time we have a hearty and healthful
Skillet
Gnocchi with Chard and White Beans. The store I went
to didn't have chard or spinach—puzzling, but I chalked it up to
being January in North Dakota—so I used kale instead. **Bonus
points for the kale chips I get to make from the leftovers.** As
much as I love kale, I have to admit chard has a very impressive
resume: packed with vitamins and minerals, it also contains at
least 13 different polyphenol antioxidants. Plus, if...
