SmartyPants Women’s Complete Multivitamins cleverly compact all the vitamins into tiny, delicious gummies so you can live a healthier life. The reason taking vitamins is so essential is that they are compounds that help our body excel at growth and function. The premium ingredient quality found in Women’s Complete makes it easy for your body to absorb all of the benefits. Without these essential vitamins, you may start to feel lethargic, susceptible to infection and develop other serious complications that may hinder your way of life.
I received a little sample packet from Social Nature and replaced my normal vitamins to give them a try. The first thing I noticed was that the ingredient list was packed full of vitamins that competing brands lack. Such ingredients as CoQ10 that helps with heart health, Choline that improves mental and emotional health, and for calcium regulation it has Vitamin K2.
Immediately when opening the package, I smelled the fruity flavors (Lemon, Blueberry, Orange) which also tasted so great that it could be mistaken for candy. I loved the texture of these; they tasted like natural fruit gummies that are easy to chew and not rubbery like other vitamin gummies. The recommended dosage is 6 gummies daily for adult women. I'm used to the normal 2 gummies recommended from other brands, but since they are so tasty I can make an exception!
I did feel a slight energy boost after taking these which may have been the slight amount of sugar or just the fact I am making a healthy conscious choice, but I know it will take at least several weeks of continued use to start seeing results of improved health. However, based on the gummies themselves, the premium taste and ingredients I would easily make the switch.
Growing
up there was little talk or concern over my period. My mother wasn’t around
much, and of course I was never comfortable speaking about it with my father.
As long as I got what I needed (tampons and pads) there was nothing left to discuss.
But things have changed over time, we need to be more forthright about what feminine
products are made of. It’s very important for all women to know what ingredients
they are putting into their body.
An average woman in her lifetime will use 16,000 tampons. Currently
there is no federal law that requires manufacturers to disclose ingredients in
their tampons or pads. Protecting the right to know is important for all women
in our lives. What’s the big deal? Check out what Seventh Generation has
to say:
“Vaginal tissue is very sensitive, which means we should be
extra careful about what’s coming into contact with it. The walls of the vagina
are filled with numerous blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, which allows for
direct transfer of chemicals in to the circulatory system. In fact, there is
considerable interest in vaginal drug delivery systems because the vagina is
such an effective site to transfer drugs directly into the blood without being
metabolized first. One study found that a vaginally applied dose of estradiol (an
estrogen proxy) resulted in systemic estradiol levels in the body 10 to 80
times greater compared to the same dose given orally. So, you should really
know what the heck is in the products you use around the vagina.
Right now, some companies tell you a little bit about what’s in
their products. While tampon and pad manufacturers aren’t required to disclose
ingredients, many do include some basic information on their packages about the
ingredients — unless they use fragrance. A ‘fragrance’ in a product can be made
up of 50-200 different ingredients, many for which health data simply doesn’t
exist. This black box means that you could be exposing your body to fragrance
ingredients without even knowing it.”
Some conscious companies are already doing what’s right for consumers
by choosing to disclose which ingredients are in their products.
Seventh Generation made strides in advocating for transparency industry-wide
by co-sponsoring a rally. On May 23, they joined with Women’s Voices for the Earth to tell Congress that we have the right to know what’s in the products we
use so intimately. Congress can do their part by enacting a very simple,
common-sense law proposed by Representative Grace Meng called the Menstrual Products
Right to Know Act.
It’s
past time that feminine care got the attention it deserves! #comeclean
