Prevagen Review & Giveaway {US & Canada}

 
I am sad to say, that I am now out of my 20's. I am (*sniff*) no longer a young person. Some of you would disagree, saying that I am not old but some days, I feel absolutely ancient. One of the things that I find myself  wishing I could get back is my sharp memory. I have a very good memory but not as good as it used to be! It is so funny because I find that when I am expecting, my brain loves to go on vacation. After baby is born, I suffer from "mommy brain". The fogginess, grogginess and inability to think straight are all symptoms of being a new mother. Lack of sleep and age all contribute to this and, while I LOVE having children, I miss my sleep and sharp brain. My husband has also been noticing the effects of getting older...he commented to me the other day that he sometimes has a hard time remembering things. I hear it all the time: "Honey? Have you seen my _______?" Or, "Where did I leave the _________?" Sound familiar? Well, if so, I have a product to introduce to you today that could help revive your memory and help you feel like your brain hasn't really gone on vacation for good!
Prevagen is a dietary supplement that is manufactured by Quincy Bioscience. Here is a bit more about Prevagen...

Prevagen contains the ingredient apoaequorin, a unique protein originally obtained from a specific species of jellyfish called Aequorea victoria found in the Puget Sound. Apoaequorin is a well-matched replacement for the same proteins that are diminished in the aging process.

Prevagen is very safe and extremely well-tolerated. Prevagen is an all-natural product with no harmful side effects and there are no known contraindications with any supplements or medications.

I know for a fact that oils obtained from fish can be very good for your health and I already take fish based supplements for my immune system. So, it is no wonder that jellyfish can contribute to mental health and better brain function. Because the brain is such an important organ in our body, it is sooo vital that we take care of it as well as we do the rest of ourselves. It can easily be forgotten (no pun intended) and we can neglect it's care and maintenance.
So, for this review I was sent a bottle of Prevagen to try. Because I am breastfeeding and haven't had a chance to check with my doctor, I have not taken Prevagen yet. From what I have heard, it should post no problems for me but I am really careful about what supplements I take when breastfeeding so I will be checking with my doctor before trying it. However, I have been giving it to my husband. He is a systems analyst and sits in front of a computer all day long. I obviously have seen him come home completely "brain fried" and was wondering how Prevagen would work for him.
Prevagen comes in gel caps and they are very easy to swallow. My husband hates taking pills but these posed no problems for him. Another thing I liked about these pills is that they do not smell fishy at all. Sometimes I find that fish-based supplements can smell fishy. These don't, which is nice. My husband hasn't seen a noticeable difference yet in his memory and brain sharpness but has only been taking Prevagen for a short time. We are both looking forward to seeing the results after he has taken it for a full month!
There is much more information about Prevagen on their website, including pricing information, research and testimonials. One month supply of Prevagen retails for $59.99 and they do offer a 100% money back guarantee.

So, in my opinion...Prevagen is a wonderful resource for anyone who is looking to improve their memory and brain function. I love how you know exactly what you are ingesting when you take this supplement and that it is actually helping to improve your thinking. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone!

  2. I learned they offer a money-back guarantee with their products. (You'd only have to remember to request it!) :) I also learned that our brains start to lose their power and 'mental elasticity' around age 40...which I am annoying close to approaching. I'd love to try Prevagen!

    Thanks!

  7. I learned as we age, we begin to lose about 30,000 brain cells every day, and may start to experience difficulty with memory, focus and concentration.

    1. No, I didn't because my doctor never heard of it so I am not sure.

The Pickle Juice Company Review & Giveaway

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Softlips Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** It is that time of year again...break out the chapstick! The winter will be here before we all know it (around here, anyway) and that means that the cold wind and dry air will be sapping all the moisture from my face. Right now, the weather is in the upper 40's (major bummer) and we are going to have a green Christmas, from what I can tell. Today I was out and about running some last minute Christmas errands and was so thankful for my Softlips chapstick I had in my car. While it is still mild out, my lips still need to be moisturized and I just LOVE the Softlips brand. If you are unfamiliar with Softlips , it is a product of Mentholatum which manufactures other brands such as Oxy, Fletchers, pHisoderm and several others as well. Softlips is also manufactured not far from my home...which is pretty neat too! Before I continue with my review, here is a short video of some gift ideas for this Holiday season...from Softlips! Personally, I wou...

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip...
