ALJ Supplement
ALJ
from Nature's Sunshine
For fighting the threats against the body's respiratory system such as:
allergens, ragweed, pollen, animals, etc. Also helps with cold
symptoms, runny nose, stuffy head, etc.
When the body feels threatened, the immune system goes on alert,
needing to defend and cleanse the body of invaders. With ALJ the immune
system can relax.
You take 2-4 cap/tablest 3 times a day.
It helps to soothe irritated tissues and nourish respiratory and

Prenatal Vitamins
Here are some of the important benefits in taking a prenatal vitamin.
- Reduces the risk of birth defects which helps relieve
stress that
comes from having a baby and gives assurance that you are doing all you
can for your baby Reduces risk of Gestational Hypertension which will
help reduce unwanted stress upon your own body and the baby developing
inside of you.
- Helps restore nutrients depleted by medications so you can
get
the most from the medications without losing vital nutrients that may
weaken you in other areas.
- Replace nutrients being taken by your baby during pregnancy
to
help you stay strong and healthy and helps ensure that your baby gets
the needed nutrients.

There is a lot of confusion surrounding prenatal vitamins
so, I
want to give you 6 criteria or elements you absolutely, positively must
have in any prenatal you purchase:
1: Must contain natural ingredients that allows you to
receive the supplement's full benefits.
2: Should contain no sugar, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn,
artificial coloring, artificial flavoring, or preservatives.
3: Should be designed by doctors and midwives so you know it
is
specifically geared to women who want to get pregnant, are pregnant, or
are nursing.
4: Should include digestive plant enzymes and herbs to help
with
digestive support. All the best nutrients won't help if your body
doesn't absorb them.
5: Needs to contain a full complement of high-quality folic
acid, antioxidants, B vitamins, and minerals.
6: Should offer a blend of plant enzymes to further promote
the absorbability of available nutrients.
Prenatal Forte Meets and Surpasses
All 6 of the Above Criteria
1. It contains natural ingredients. (Here's a little test you can do to
see if a vitamin is natural or not. Bake the vitamin in the oven for
about 10 minutes and see what happens. If it is just vitamins it will
bake like a cookie and turn brown. If it is chemically made it will
turn into black goo.)
2. Prenatal Forte contains no sugar, yeast, gluten, corn, artificial
coloring, artificial flavoring, or preservatives.
3. Prenatal Forte was designed by doctors for women who are pregnant,
nursing, or seeking to become pregnant.
4. Prenatal Forte contains digestive plant enzymes and herbs to help
with digestive support. After all, the supplement won't do you any good
unless you can digest it.
5. Prenatal Forte contains a full complement of high quality folic
acid, antioxidants, B vitamins, and minerals. Receiving a proper amount
of folic acid is very important not only during pregnancy but in the
few months before pregnancy. Folic acid is helpful in preventing birth
defects in the early stages of pregnancy, some of which happen before
pregnancy is confirmed.
6. Prenatal Forte offers a blend of plant enzymes that help further
promote the absorbability of the nutrients included in each tablet.
Here's Even More Good News
Prenatal
Forte goes above and beyond the six key criteria. Prenatal Forte also...
1. Provides a full complement of Biotin which has shown to promote
healthy hair and hair growth.
2. Contains Vitamin A as Beta Carotene which aids in the growth of bone
and tissue and helps maintain the health of skin and mucous membranes.
3. Contains Dandelion which is used by some as a liver or kidney
"tonic," as a diuretic, and for minor digestive problems..
4. Contains cranberry which has been reported to help prevent or
treating urinary tract infections, infections that can lead to stomach
ulcers, to prevent dental plaque, and to have antioxidant and
anticancer activity.
5. Prenatal Forte has herbs supportive of uterine health, urinary
support,
and digestive support to help avoid UTIs along with antioxidents to
help the immune system.
6. Uterine Health - helps strengthen the uterus to a healthy state for
when it works hard during delivery or, in the case of a c-section,
prepares it for recovery.
