Kids Potential is a chewable wafer that brings a welcome difference in quality, nutritional value and purpose to the kids vitamin market.  No, it is not a gummy candy masquerading as something good for your child.  Kids Potential offers well-rounded nutrition from full spectrum vitamins, natural vitamin E (not synthetic) and the natural antioxidant power from deep-colored fruit & berry concentrates especially produced for this children’s vitamin.  Potential contains no sugar, artificial colors, artificial flavors or preservatives.

Potential is the only chewable kids vitamin dispensed by a school district to thousands of children now for 7 years that is supported by real results.  PBS filmed a documentary called “How to Turn Around a Failing School” and FOX News filmed a news segment following up to its years of success in the public school system.  Potential has made a meaningful difference in the lives of at-risk children.

But can Potential help an already successful child?

We just received a link to the Mamawize blog in which an educator/parent discusses how Potential has benefited her academically successful son.   Have a read and let us know what you think:

Holiday Survival Tips

Happy Holidays Graphic

This statement rings from stores, appears in our mail and seems to permeate all of November & December.  Instead of experiencing “happy holidays,” many are likely to be feeling holiday blues for different reasons.


  • Holidays can be a reminder of loss-a relationship, a family, a marriage, a loved one.
  • Many feel overwhelmed by the stress of family dynamics at a time when everything you see and hear tells you to be happy at family gatherings.
  • Economic uncertainty and unemployment leave many feeling blue and stressed about how to manage.
  • The shopping, cooking, baking, gift giving marathon can leave people feeling drained and incapable of relaxing.
  • This time of year can be a time of self-evaluation and reflection about the past but also creates anxiety about the future.
  • Some feel excluded and lonely if they do not partake in the holidays or have no family.
  • Reduced day light during shorter winter days can contribute to feeling sluggish, tired and short on energy.
  • A myriad of stressors can produce feelings of sadness, loneliness, gloom, hopelessness, fatigue, etc.  If you were already feeling blue before this time of year, these feelings may only intensify.

Basic Holiday Survival Tips & Product Recommendations

We would like to share a few key “Holiday Survival Tips” that have helped many people make it through “the happiest time of year” and suggest several products for those who need a little help this holiday season.   Take the biggest step first:  resolve to help yourself.

1.         Don’t sacrifice sleep.  Visiting friends, baking cookies and shopping are no longer fun if you are worn out and ready to collapse.  Fatigue can also darken your mood.

PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS:Z-Caps - All Natural Sleep Support for Deep Restful Sleep

Z-Caps:  If getting to sleep is troublesome, try (1-2) Z-Caps at least one hour before bedtime.

To learn more about Z-Caps, click on the Z-Caps bottle to the left.

Myo-Nerve for Neuromuscular Relaxation

Myo-Nerve:  If you need even deeper sleep to calm a busy mind or address pain support, try Myo-Nerve one hour before bedtime.  Myo-Nerve is our latest innovation for neuromuscular relaxation.  Just add 1 scoop or less to a small serving of natural applesauce or yogurt one hour before bedtime.

Click on Myo-Nerve (to the right) for more information.

2.         Set your boundaries.  A person who struggles with personal boundaries often gets stressed and hangs on to anger and frustration, making them more likely to experience holiday blues.

3.         Exercise.  Don’t wait to make a New Year’s resolution to start or resume your exercise program.  Your body’s ability fight the blues is strengthened by the natural chemistry that occurs when your body moves regularly.  So write yourself a reminder to enjoy a brisk walk, take stairs, ride your bike or make use of your gym membership now.

ProSport Drink for Advanced Hydration

PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS:

ProSport & ProSport MAX:  To maximize your exercise benefits, enhance your hydration.  ProSport and ProSport MAX are the choice of elite and amateur athletes who rely on the antioxidant power these drinks deliver.

ProSport MAX offers 2075 ORAC units/serving — the antioxidant equivalent of 4-7 servings of fresh fruit or berries.

4.         Monitor Caffeine & Alcohol Intake.  Caffeine can give you a quick high but a jolting crash once it wears off, leaving you feeling worse than before you drank that high calorie, triple strength, ultra-sized Italian-sounding coffee bar drink.  Alcohol is a depressant and can intensify seasonal blues.  Bring your own healthy alternative to parties if you think there may not be a non-alcoholic option.

PowerThru Energy Tablet with ECGC Green Tea

PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION:

PowerThru:  If you’re feeling low on energy, boost your body’s own cellular energy production with our botancial, EGCG Green tea formulation that contains time tested natural ingredients.  Try PowerThru in the morning or at lunchtime for smooth alertness without the jolt & crash.

Click on the PowerThru bottle for more information.

5.         Savor the treats in moderation.  At home, you’re in charge.  Choose to prepare healthy, balanced meals that in turn, keep you feeling more emotionally and physically balanced.   If you know that it may be difficult to stick with your regimen away from home, eat lightly before you leave home so that you can savor treats in moderation and spend more time in conversation.

6.         Lighten the load.  Yours and others.  Volunteer at the food bank, at a soup kitchen, for children or people in need.  Don’t underestimate the power of helping others.

7.         Keep track and be reasonable.  Make lists to stay on top of a reasonable number of tasks, gifts, events to attend and money to spend.  Staying in control is empowering and a critical step in maintaining healthy emotional balance.

InSight Natural for Natural Mental Healthcare Support

PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS:

InSight Natural:  For natural mental health support and a positive, proactive attitude, try our cocoa flavonoid-based formulation that has been dispensed by physicians to thousands of patients.
