Is Cleaning House Hazardous To Your Health?

Posted by Ben:

A 2006 study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory looked at the potential health risks involved with common house hold cleaners. What they discovered was less than comforting: the bottles of cleaners most of us use to clean our kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, etc. may actually be hazardous to our health.

Halloween Madness at Swanson Vitamins

Posted by Ben:

Yes, Halloween is now over, but the sugar high is still soaring for many. We here at Swanson Vitamins celebrated in style last Friday with a company-wide costume contest, complete with prizes! I failed miserably with coming up with a costume, so I did not participate. Now that I think of it, nobody in my department dressed up!

 
But there were a ton of ghosts, goblins and fairy princesses roaming around the rest of the building to make up for our lack of creativity. In case you missed out on your Halloween party or trick-or-treating (or handing out treats), I thought I'd share some photos from our costume contest...maybe inspire you for next year.

New Omega EFA Supplement Shows Why “Purified” Doesn’t Mean Pure

Posted by Ben:

It’s been a while since I talked about any of the new products we are bringing in every single month over at SwansonVitamins.com, but a new one just came in that is definitely worth a closer look. It’s a new omega essential fatty acid supplement from New Chapter, and I am pretty excited about it. It’s called Wholemega (what a great name!), and it may be my new omega supplement of choice.

Alternative Medicine’s Answer to Seasonal Wellness—Part 3

Posted by Ben:

Earlier this week, I started a three-part series focusing on one topic, seasonal wellness. In Part 1, I discussed how silver is good for immune system support. On Wednesday, for Part 2, I explored the world of Homeopathic medicine by talking about the flu-fighting benefits of Oscillococcinum. Today, however, is a bonus. Why? Because today I’m going to cover three products that are great for seasonal wellness and immune support.  

Alternative Medicine’s Answer to Seasonal Wellness—Part 2

On Monday, I introduced my first-ever three-part series focusing on one topic: seasonal wellness. In Part One I discussed how people use silver for immune system support. Today, I’d like to talk about one of the most popular homeopathic remedies for treating the symptoms of the flu. Those who use it, swear by it. Can you guess what it is?
