Summer Beauty: Swiss Natural

By

*Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only*

Since beauty really starts from within, eating an optimal diet – including drinking adequate water and supplementing with vitamins and minerals when necessary – is essential for how you look and feel on the outside.

When my diet falls short of the mar, I turn to Swiss Natural. A long time fan of their Echinacea and Golden Seal Extract (we toss it back whenever we feel even a tiny bit under the weather), Swiss Natural products are safe, efficacious and are scientifically formulated from natural sources.

A few weeks ago, I blogged about Swiss Natural’s Route of Change Event to raise funds for Breakfast for Learning.

“The Cause: One in nine children in Canada live below the poverty line and this is only one of the many reasons children go to school hungry each day. 31% of elementary school and 62% of secondary school students do not eat a healthy breakfast daily. Childhood obesity rates, Type 2 diabetes and other health-related issues continue to rise; and still Canada remains one of the few developed countries without a national nutrition program for children. (Source: Breakfast for Learning)”

Supporters were invited to join “Hoop Toronto” professional hula hoopers, and for everyone who joined the fun and hula hoops, Swiss Natural made a $1 donation to Breakfast for Learning.

The results are in – Swiss Natural raised $9,000 for Breakfast for Learning!

Woo hoo! And there’s more wonderful news… Swiss Natural is participating in my Summer Beauty & Fashion Guide!

I received an enviable assortment of Swiss Natural products for my entire family – everything from Total One® Women Timed Release Multi Vitamin and Mineral Box for moi, Kids Chewable Vitamin D3 600 I.U. for Ryder and Solutions Energy With Green Tea, Vitamin B12 & Guarana for my husband, who is constantly searching for the perfect 3pm pick-me-up. We even received cool little pill boxes which came equipped with electronic reminders!

I was also incredibly happy to see Chewable Cranberry and Omega 3 supplements – two Swiss Natural products I’ve already got in my medicine chest. Score!

About the Company –

Swiss Herbal Remedies Ltd. was established in 1965 and is Canadian owned and operated. The company began with natural health food stores located in Toronto. After much success, the company began importing, manufacturing, wholesaling and distributing natural supplements. Since then the company has grown to include over 400 vitamins, minerals and supplements under the Swiss Natural brand name. Today, Swiss Natural employs over 140 people across the country supplying natural health products to retail partners and distributing many products internationally.

Now this may sound vain – but it’s definitely beauty-related – I started taking Swiss Natural Omega 3 Adult capsules because I heard that fish and flax oils were fabulous for your hair. Well, this is one vitamin review in which I can actually provide tangible results: since starting the supplement months ago, my hair is thicker, more shiny and grows like crazy! It is the one thing I’ve changed in my diet, so I think I can confidently attribute my new lovely locks to my intake of Omega 3. #winning!
