Confessions of a Wellness Enthusiast

I had a customer and blogger approach me seeking more information on our Vitapak® programs recently.  They are extremely popular and meet the needs for those seeking nutritional support in a convenient solution.  After a series of questions and few email exchanges later, we found a solution for her needs. Seems typical, right?  Based on her questions, it dawned on me that she, along with many individuals are seeking natural or whole foods based nutrition options for themselves and family.  You see, GNC isn’t exclusive to iron-pumping, protein-pounding males…GNC is for women who seek wholesome and vegetarian options too.  

Being a female fitness enthusiast and conscientious regarding ingredients in foods, supplements, and hygiene products, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite GNC products for women.  In general, if you are one to avoid:

Artificial sweeteners

Stimulants

Heavy Dairy

Added Sugars

Processed Foods

…keep reading.  It is important to note that not all of my favorite options fit under my avoid list above but most of them do. 

Here is one of my favorite options that may fit into your nutrition lifestyle and philosophy that you may not be aware of:

Ultra Mega® Green Women’s Vitapak:

WUMG

Whole-food based ingredients to support the optimal health of women

Whole-food enhanced multivitamin formula with 1600 IU of vitamin D-3

Calcium & Vitamin D with MBP® which supports the body’s natural ability to build and maintain bone mass

Omega Complex: Blend of omega 3,6, and 9 fatty acids including EPA and DHA to support brain and joint health.*

Standardized Green Tea: Supports metabolism and is an antioxidant that can promote cell health by helping fight off free radicals.*

Cranberry: Supports a healthy urinary tract*

What appeals to me about this product is that it is:

Free of artificial sweeteners

Contains a natural energy boost with green tea (also an antioxidant)

Whole food based ingredients

A once daily convenient vitamin pack

If you enjoy and appreciate these benefits but live a vegetarian lifestyle check out the GNC Ultra Mega® Green Vegetarian Vitapak®

UMGV

Dr. Edmundowicz of GNC’s Medical Advisory Board mentions this, "While most women know that healthy eating is the best way to achieve proper vitamin intake, it has been shown that the 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables recommended to do so is rarely maintained.  A high quality multivitamin can help assure the appropriate intake of important vitamins when the realities of a busy lifestyle prevent the consumption of appropriate quantities of healthy foods." 

This is a fantastic option for women looking to receive important vitamins in a whole foods form.
