GREAT for soft water, but not hard water, December 29, 2007
By Daddyn3wisechix

"We have moderately hard water here in our town so it has been quite a quest trying to find auto dish detergent that works well & also doesn't leave spots all over from the hard water. This works okay, but I can tell it would work awesome if I had soft water. It leaves a few spots/residue on my dishes, AND I have found I have to rinse my dishes 1st if I use this. My regular brand of Ecover doesn't require anything other than putting the dirty (unrinsed) dishes into the dispenser & everything comes out spotless... downside is that it is more expensive & not easy to find around my area. Anyway, I will stick w/my usual brand until we get a water filter & descaler.

I do love that 7th Generation is chlorine free & it smells great so I will definitely try this again once we get out water filtration system!!!"

"Everyone around me has been sick ever since back to school time started, but I have steered clear of sickness. I take this any time we are going to be around a bunch of people, or just when I think I need a boost. If I feel something starting, I take it a few times that day & nothing usually comes of it. GREAT stuff!!! My husband & kids use it too & everyone loves it!!!"

"I feel like my kids are not risking their tooth health (from fluoride in almost all toothpastes) & well being when using this. I don't cring when it is time to brush their teeth when they are using this & my 7 year old likes it because it is not fruity like all the other fluoride-free kid's pastes.

It is rated as a very safe toothpaste on SkinDeep too, which makes me feel good about using it :0)!"

NSI Mangosteen Fruit Extract -- 32 Fluid Ounce

NSI Mangosteen Fruit Extract -- 32 Fluid Ounce

Contains potent antioxidants and may help support healthy cholesterol levels and immune system. How does NSI® Mangosteen Fruit Extract work? For thousands of years, mangosteen fruit has been prized by the people of Southeast Asia for its high nutritional value and numerous health-promoting properties. NSI® Mangosteen Fruit Extract is a great tasting, convenient way to derive the healthful benefits found in this wondrous fruit. Known as the “Queen of Fruits”, mangosteen contains the following vitamins:. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): helps with digestion, promotes growth and helps keeps nerves healthy. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): assists the body with the production of red blood cells. Vitamin B6 (Niacin): contributes to the conversion of food into energy. It also encourages a good digestive system, as well as healthy skin and nerves. Vitamin C: a powerful antioxidant that that helps with the formation of collagen, and in the maintenance of healthy capillaries, bones and teeth. Mangosteen (scientific name Garcinia mangostana) is also contains trace minerals including potassium, iron and calcium. Mangosteen contains potent, naturally beneficial compounds called xanthones. These compounds from a class of plant-derived nutrients, or phytonutrients, containing strong antioxidant properties that work to protect the body from the cell-damaging effects of free radicals and support a healthy immune system. The mangosteen is believed to be one of the richest known sources of xanthones. While all xanthones have similar molecular structures, each has its own unique chemical composition that enables it to perform a specific function. These xanthones include Alpha-mangostin (a potent antioxidant) and Gamma-mangostin.  There are also other xanthones found within mangosteen that may support healthy cholesterol levels, cardiovascular and joint health. NSI® Mangosteen Fruit Extract is better because it:. -- Delivers the complete nutritional value derived from the mangosteen fruit in a convenient, great tasting liquid. -- As an extract, provides a more highly concentrated form of mangosteen than by eating the fruit itself – each one ounce serving is equivalent to 12,000 mg of fresh mangosteen fruit. -- Is a High ORAC supplement – which means that it scores high in an antioxidant analysis called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). -- Contains no artificial flavors or colors. The ORAC rating for NSI Mangosteen Fruit Extract -- 32 fl oz is 11,380 per serving . Knowing the ORAC value of your vitamins & supplements is extremely important.

NSI Probiotic 15 Strains - 35 Billion CFUs with NutraFlora FOS -- 120 Vegetarian Capsules

NSI Probiotic 15 Strains - 35 Billion CFUs with NutraFlora FOS -- 120 Vegetarian Capsules

Daily support for healthy digestion! May also promote optimal immune function. How Does NSI® Probiotic 15-35 with NutraFlora® FOS work? Probiotics, also known as "good bacteria," are bacterial cultures which favorably alter intestinal microflora supporting a healthy intestinal balance. Besides inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria, these micro-organisms may help promote healthy intestinal activity, good digestion, and colon regularity. Probiotics may offer the following benefits:. Aid in healthy digestion and nutrient assimilation. Replenish colonies of friendly bacteria that may be destroyed by antibiotics and certain health complications. Counter overgrowth of "bad" organisms in the gastrointestinal tract. Enhance immune response (A large percentage of cells of the immune system are located in the digestive tract). NSI® Probiotic 15-35 is a potent probiotic blend containing 15 different probiotics strains, with each strain offering its own unique health benefits. It also features a superior 35 billion colony forming units (CFU's) in each two-capsule serving. NSI® Probiotic 15-35 contains NutraFlora® FOS, a highly-concentrated complex of fructooligosaccharides, or naturally-occurring carbohydrates (also known as "prebiotics") that are indigestible by humans but serve as food/an energy source for friendly bacteria in the intestines, helping to increase their numbers in the body. NutraFlora® has been shown in more than 200 studies to improve the absorption of calcium, magnesium and soy isoflavones, which may contribute to bone, immune and digestive health. NutraFlora® also provides added fiber. It's known to be one of the highest-quality FOS’ available and is used in more than 500 food products worldwide. NSI® Probiotic 15-35 is manufactured using the patented LiveBac® process for an improved probiotic shelf life, even at room temperature. In addition, we utilize Viablend™ Gastric Acid Bypass Technology. Unlike enteric coated capsules, which can become brittle and crack or chip, rendering probiotics ineffective when exposed to gastric acids, our capsules deliver more viable organisms to the intestinal tract. NSI® Probiotic 15-35 with NutraFlora® FOS is better because it:. -- Each two capsule serving delivers 35 billion CFU's and 15 different probiotic strains. -- Contains a high-quality "prebiotic" to nourish and sustain existing friendly bacterial colonies in the intestines.

"I really like this probiotic! My kids don't like it as much as our doctor's brand, so instead of being able to break the capsule open into their mouths I have to mix it in water. BUT this is more affordable, & I feel it is definitely as good as if not better than our usual brand, so water it is."

NSI Organic Mushroom Defense -- 1,000 mg per serving - 120 Capsules

NSI Organic Mushroom Defense -- 1,000 mg per serving - 120 Capsules

Potent combination of organic mushroom extracts. 100% vegetarian formula! Provides natural support for healthy immune function. How Does NSI® Organic Mushroom Defense work? Organic Mushroom Defense contains an exclusive blend of mushrooms, including shiitake, cordyceps, maitake, blazei, reishi and more, to provide powerful support for immune health. Mushrooms contain numerous compounds believed to posses health-promoting properties. One of them, known as beta-glucan, appears to have remarkable benefits for immune function. Consisting of thousands of glucose molecules chemically bound together, beta-glucan may activate production of immune cells, including T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Some mushrooms, such as the shitake, also contain a polysaccharide compound called lentinan. Lentinan is believed to counteract the formation of prostaglandins, which are hormone-like substances that play a part in inflammation and keeps the immune system's T-cells from reaching maturity. Another mushroom included in Organic Mushroom Defense is the cordyceps, which is rich in glucose, mannose and galactose polysaccharides. The cordyceps mushroom has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and contains two chemical constituents—cordycepin and cordycepic acid—that promote healthy lung function and may enhance energy levels. This unique formula also include maitake mushroom extract, which may stimulate T-cell production. Maitake mushrooms, also known as the "lucky fungus", may also help promote healthy blood sugar and blood pressure levels. Organic Mushroom Defense is an ideal daily supplement to provide the immune system with extra support. A simple two-capsule serving taken daily promotes immune health all year 'round. NSI® Organic Mushroom Defense is better because it:. Is organic, produced without the use of pesticides or chemicals. Serves as daily support for healthy immune function year 'round.

"I really like these vitamins! They don't have all the added junk found in many vitamins, they DO have extra great stuff like Vitex, mushrooms, probiotics, fos, etc. AND there is no nausea from them!!! I love that they are ONE pill ONE time per day... the tablet is a tad big, BUT, compared to having to swallow 4-6 equally big capsules (if not bigger) or tablets of other brands, I will gladly take the 1x per day."
