Begin 2012 Clean

Start 2012 off right by taking control of your health by ridding your body of toxins, excess waste and weight. Cleansing is a very important aspect to a healthy lifestyle and is a great way to have a fresh start to a new way of eating, dropping caffeine and nicotine addictions, and feeling better overall. It is not a pretty picture, but fecal matter can get backed up and solidified in your colon and can be trapped there releasing toxins throughout your body’s organs and adding up to 20 pounds causing you to feel heavy and bloated. A cleanse can result in weight loss, improved attitude, increased energy levels, healthier digestive system, improved concentration, and a clearer complexion. There are many options available when doing a cleanse including the duration, severity, target areas, cost, and diet limitations. Stop in today and we will help you find the cleanse that is right for you and your lifestyle.
Throughout January all of our cleanses will be on sale.

This is the time of year when our body takes a beating due to increased stress levels and exhaustion. Our adrenal glands produce steroids and hormones that help keep our bodies healthy, mentally and physically during high levels of stress. But unfortunately they often become weakened due to lack of rest, chronic stress, illness, or hypothyroidism. Some medical experts believe that the adrenal glands play a more important role in our bodies' ability to resist infection than our immune systems. Those who suffer from adrenal insufficiency will experience recurrent infections, post viral fatigue, chronic fatigue, allergies, weakness, respiratory disorders, an/or slow metabolism. To correct adrenal insufficiency you must supplement with the necessary nutrients the adrenal glands require such as B vitamins, L-tyrosine, vitamin C, DHEA, pregnenolone, licorice root extract, Rehmannia, and freeze dried adrenal extract. This formula can be found in ADRENAPLEX by EuroPharma. Start ADRENAPLEX today so that you can feel great this holiday season.

Animal Parade are now SUGAR FREE and on SALE!

With school in full swing life is crazy and it is difficult to get all the right vitamins and minerals into our children's growing bodies. I take great care in my kids' diets...probably more than most. I'm one of those moms that spends hours in the grocery store reading every single label, I puree veggies to mix into everything I bake, and I have my kids brainwashed into believing whole carrots are desert. But even kids with a fanatic mom like me need to supplement their diet with wholefood vitamins and minerals.

At the Sunshine Shoppe we carry the line of children's vitamins that I trust the most for my own kids...Nature's Plus Animal Parade. And now this awesome line is even more amazing because it is SUGAR FREE!!! Nature's Plus has replaced the sugar with Xylitol, a naturally occurring compound found in berries, vegetables, and mushrooms. According to the California Dental Association, Xylitol is "shown to have decay preventative properties." Xylitol also reduces oral bacteria as well as contains 40% less calories than sugar and is absorbed more slowly helping support stable blood sugar.

Through the month of September all of our Nature's Plus Animal Parade children's supplements are on sale. As an added bonus we are raffling off a basket full of Nature's Plus products. For every Nature's Plus product purchased you can enter into our drawing and we will be choosing a winner Saturday, Sept. 30. We also are fully stocked up on all our children's vitamin samples for your little ones to try before you buy. Come in and take advantage of this great sale and give your kiddos the very best for their health!

Back to School

It is that time of year again!!! I'm personally very excited because my son is going to Kindergarten this year! But I will say that I'm a little concerned about my very active little boy having to sit still at a desk from 8am to 3pm. In fact, I think it may be impossible. (: My kids already take Nordic Naturals Children's DHA. They actually ask for their "fish balls" every morning. But with the start of school we will be taking a new supplement...EuroPharma's Berry Calm Kids.

Berry Calm Kids supports brain function and the overall central nervous system. This complete, synergistic formula will provide children with a healthy focus, concentration and attentiveness. Children can now enjoy a sense of well-being along with emotional tranquility. Berry Calm Kids formula consists of the following:

B6-Help us make neurotransmitters which are essential for regulating our moods

DMAE-increases the production of acetylcholine helps with the functioning of signals in the brain and nervous system

DHA-essential fatty acid

Phosphatidylserine-phospholipid that is a major building block of nerve cells

Rhodiola-herb that works as an adaptogen that allows our physiology to handle stress

Grape Seed Extract-antioxidant that protects nerve and brain tissue

L-Tyrosine-amino acid that helps production of neurotransmitters

NAC-amino acid that increases the production of glutathione

L-Taurine-amino acid used to control anxiety, hyperactivity, and brain function

Nordic Natural's Children's DHA is the perfect product to pair with Calm Kids. Studies have found the DHA, and essential fatty acid that is beneficial for neurological support, is shown to be deficient in children with ADD and ADHD. This particular brand's DHA has a great flavor for kids who can't yet swallow but can also be swallowed if preferred. Nordic Naturals is a very high quality company with the highest purity ranking and is pharmaceutical grade.

Through the month of August Children's DHA and Berry Calm Kids will be on sale.

PS: On a side note...I want to brag about my husband and father of my two beautiful children. We do a blood test through his work once a year that runs all kinds of tests and gives us each a complete workup on how healthy we are. Over the last 3 years my husband's cholesterol has been borderline high (ranging from from 181 to 195.) So I insisted he start taking Nordic Naturals Omega LDL. That's it. And we just got our scores back last week and I am proud to say that his total cholesterol is 150!!!!!!! I'm proud of him, I'm proud of our products, and I just love to be able to see actual results on paper!

Renew Life on Sale!

I'm thrilled about this month because it is all about digestive health! And I believe that we can all improve our health and our lives by taking control of this very important issue. So much of our health starts in our gut, which is unfortunate considering the sad state most of our digestive systems are in. Many of us live with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Constipation, Diarrhea, Diverticular Disease, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Leaky Gut, Candidiasis, weakened immune systems, and much more. How do we heal these issues or even prevent these issues?

• Clease your body. Do a total internal cleanse for 1 week to 30 days. Cleanses are great for those wanting to jump start a weightloss program, those that are just feeling sluggish and tired, or those suffering from repetitive illness that never seems to completely go away.


• Take Probiotics. Probiotics replace the good bacteria our body needs in order to fight the bad bacteria. The key is to have more good bacteria than bad so it is imperative that you supplement with a high quality probiotic such as Renew Life's Ultimate Flora. Click the link to watch a very insightful talk about bacteria and their vast importance in our bodies.


• Increase your fiber intake. You can do this through diet by eating more whole grains and fruits and vegetables or by taking a fiber supplement. Fiber attaches itself to cholesterol preventing it from entering your bloodstream decreasing the risk of heart disease. Try to get 35 grams a day.


• Take digestive enzymes. Digestive enzymes help your body break down fiber, fats, proteins, carbs, and milk sugars.

Through the month of May all of Renew Life's digestive health products will be on sale. Start your summer feeling clean and healthy!

Diabetes Prevention

I am very excited about our newest product by LifeSeasons. Diabet-X is packed with only the very best ingredients used to support the body's ability to maintain normal glucose levels.

When the body can't maintain normal blood sugar levels, insulin resistance increases. This causes the body to generate even more insulin in order to get the glucose inside the cells where it can be used as fuel. However, an insulin increase is often interpreted as a threat and the body becomes even more resistant. Diabet-X reduces the need for extra insulin production, which helps stop the vicious cycle that leads to insulin resistance and subsequent high blood glucose levels.

Main Ingredients:
Chromium-Helps support insulin sensitivity which allows more glucose into the cells
Cinnamon-Supports glucose, triglycerides, LDL, and total cholesterol levels
Gymnema-Helps manage sugar cravings
Alpha Lipoic Acid-Supports healthy glucose levels.

Through the month of February all our LifeSeasons' products with be on sale. Take advantage of this great discount and get control of your blood sugar levels today!
