There has been a lot of recent media hype about a “new” skincare and hair product on the market called argan oil, but not a lot of people know what it is or how well it works. First of all, I find it very amusing when the mass-market beauty industry FINALLY catches up with what we, in the natural health industry, have been touting for years. Second of all, having just returned from living in Mo

rocco for 7 months, I can tell you first-hand about argan oil, how it is produced and all of the amazing uses for it. Finally, I will do a little skin-test-drive with the argan oil for a week or so and get back to you on the results in an upcoming blog update!

Vega One represents the third generation in the progression of Vega’s “all-in-one” nutritional shake. Called Whole Food Health Optimizer in its most recent second generation formula, the new Vega One delivers a superior nutritional profile in a one-scoop complete serving that’s more easily digested, and tastes better than ever. 

My name is Nakita Valerio and I've been a health consultant at Optimum Health Vitamins since 2007. Throughout my adolescence and young adulthood, I have struggled with my weight, but in 2006 it really ballooned. Nothing was fitting right; I was uncomfortable; I had no self-esteem. In the last year and a half, I have really turned things around, losing 29lbs and keeping it off using a variety of methods. By chance, a friend recently gave me some supplements that have really turned things around for me and aided this journey along immeasurably!

Based on leaked information, sources from the Dietary Supplement Protective Union (DSPU) have indicated that Health Canada’s NHP Regulations have cost Canadian Taxpayers over 1 $Billion (that’s Billion, with a “B”!) And guess how many Canadians lives they have saved? Exactly zero!

You see, you can’t get any less than zero, which was the number of Canadian deaths on record attributed to use of a natural health product when the NHPR started. That number is still zero. (Perhaps this helps explain why the NHP Directorate is having its funding dramatically slashed.)

In addition to wasting taxpayers dollars, the NHPR have removed around 50,000 NHPs from store shelves, i.e. retail product choices Canadians had when the NHPR started in 2004. Many were excellent, effective U.S. products, which had been sold here for decades, but have since been pulled out of Canada, or blocked at the border.
