Do Supplements Actually Work? The Surprising Truth..

Honestly I started to believe supplements were nothing more than expensive fluro piss..

I had spent hundreds upon hundreds on expensive, practitioner grade supplements and the fluro piss was about the only thing different I noticed in my body. All my money was going down the toilet, literally.

So it took me quite a while to come around to the thought of spending any hard earned money on supplements again, but I had fallen in love with my essential oils from doTERRA and had such profound results using them for my physical and emotional health that I had to give them a try. Especially when I found out they were actually the number one selling product and came with a 30 day money back guarantee. I literally had nothing to lose!

Unfortunately there are many factors today that are outside our control when it comes to wellness. Exposure to toxins, pollutants and radiation can definitely be minimised, but sometimes its impossible to escape totally in modern society, a lot of the food we have access to now even if we are eating well, doesn’t contain the same level of nutrients it would’ve a hundred years ago, our soil is becoming more and more depleted and so are we.

But there are some things we can do to make a massive difference and play a proactive role in our own health. I choose to shop at farmers markets and organic where I can, move my body in ways I love, drink plenty of fresh filtered water, have fun and community in my life, reduce my toxic exposure by using essential oils and natural products in my home, manage my emotions and get adequate rest and take my Lifelong Vitality Supplements.

I’ll be honest my experience when I first started taking these supplements wasn’t pleasant, as these are super powerful and potent supplements most people experience not such fun times in the first week of taking them. I felt exceptionally tired and had some ripper headaches, but I just tapered back my dose and took one of each in the evening for a few days, got plenty of rest, drank plenty of water and then slowly took my dosage up to the full dose of two of each supplement morning and night. After the initial detox stage passed I was very pleasantly surprised with how I started to feel.

I had more energy, clarity, focus, motivation, I actually felt like getting out of bed in the morning, my digestion was running much more smoothly, my skin began to clear up, I had to cut my nails CONSTANTLY because they grew so thick and fast, same with my hair, I started to sleep better, and felt so much stronger in my body.. then I sabotaged and stopped taking them.

But I’m so done with the old sabotage patterns, I’ve been back on Lifelong Vitality for the last two weeks and noticed instant results again. Plus my piss is NOT fluro and I don’t feel horribly nauseous taking these supplements because of the tummy tamer blend included in the capsules! These supplements are mind blowingly effective, and so so affordable.

My partner Sam has decided to take the 30 day challenge and has just started on a small dosage, we are going to share his journey and what he notices along the way.

So what’s actually in the Lifelong Vitality Pack?

It’s a trio designed to be taken together. Alpha CRS+ our Cellular Vitality Complex, Microplex VMz our Food Nutrient Complex and xEO Mega our Essential Oil Omega Complex.

Our DNA and the cells in our body are unfortunately under constant attack from damaging free radicals. What are free radicals? They are a toxic byproduct of breathing and the metabolism of food. They also come from other sources, such as pollution, smoking, sun exposure, and exposure to radiation. All these free-radical sources can push oxidative stress beyond what the body can safely handle. Cellular free-radical damage is believed to play a major role in ageing.

Polyphenols are a particularly powerful group of antioxidants that provide protection against free radical damage to cellular DNA and mitochondria. They have a very high capacity to neutralise free radicals and have been studied for a number of longevity health benefits. Reducing oxidative stress to cellular DNA and other important cell structures supports healthy cell proliferation, function, and lifespan.

Alpha CRS+ is an incredible combo of badass and powerful polyphenols and antioxidants to help combat this attack and stimulate overall cellular health. doTERRA have put so much science and research into creating a supplement that can support our DNA and mitochondria (energy production in our cells).

Some of these potent polyphenols include baicalin from scutellaria root, resveratrol from polygonum cuspidatum, pomegranate fruit extract, proanthocyanidins from grape seeds, curcumin from turmeric root (just have a quick google of all the health benefits of turmeric!), and silymarin from milk thistle—that support healthy cell function.

Alpha CRS+ also contains some other power packed ingredients to support your bodies systems and to work through specific channels to support overall wellness. A standardised extract of Boswellia serrata for boswellic acid (frankincense resin) supports healthy inflammatory response in cells. A Gingko biloba extract is included to support mental clarity and function. Alpha CRS+ also naturally supports cellular energy through the inclusion of coenzyme Q10, quercetin, alpha-lipoic acid, and acetyl-l-carnitine. With these ingredients, Alpha CRS+ is truly the most comprehensive antioxidant supplement on the market.

Have you ever felt sick and nauseous from taking supplements? I have and it’s a horrible feeling, luckily I never get this with this range because doTERRA include the tummy tamer blend of Peppermint, Ginger and Caraway, I always make sure I take my supplements with a meal including some quality protein and fat and drink plenty of water as well.

Microplex VMz contains natural highly bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and trace elements in proportions that work alongside the food you are nourishing your body with and to make up for missing nutrients due to depleted soil and a reliance on processed and frozen food.

You can see all the ingredients in this incredible complex listed below, including vitamins A, C, and E, B, and D, and the minerals calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Often, vitamins and minerals included in most commercial supplements can be difficult for our bodies to absorb. However, doTERRA solves the absorption issue by using a glycoprotein matrix to help the body absorb vitamins, and chelated minerals (meaning the mineral is bound to an amino acid). This process allows our bodies to recognise the supplement as food nutrients to our digestive systems. Overall Microplex VMz supports healthy metabolism, digestion, immune function and cellular energy.

Microplex VMz also contains a propriety wholefood blend and active enzymes for better digestion, absorption and assimilation of nutrients.

It’s pretty powerful the difference that you’ll notice when your body actually receives the nutrition it requires to function at an optimal level!

 

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are nutrients required for many key functions in the human body, including cell growth, brain development, muscle activity, immune function, joint health, and many others. They are “essential” for a reason and unfortunately cannot be produced by our bodies, so we must either get them from our food or adequate supplementation.

Science tells us that for optimal health we should be consuming a one to one ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 essential fatty acids.

Unfortunately this isn’t aligned with reality, a typical western diet has omega 6 fatty acids in a ratio as high as 20 to 1! This is due to the explosion of vegetable/seed oils, margarine, hydrogenated and trans fats and processed foods on the market rather than using traditional, healthy, nourishing fats.

The low fat fad has destroyed our omega ratio in a dangerous and highly inflammatory way and has been linked to poor health. Not only this but a low intake of omega 3 fatty acids has been linked to reduced mood and cognitive function.

There is an enormous body of scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of increasing the dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids. Studies have shown that increasing omega-3 fatty acid consumption has a positive effect on cardiovascular health and brain function, and promotes healthy immune function.* Increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids has also been shown to have a positive impact on joint health and mobility, and on skin health.

xEO Mega will help you get these much needed essential fatty acids and omega 3s plus it includes a powerful blend of essential oils, and vitamins D and E. The best sources of omega-3s are fatty fish and marine algae, which are not common in most diets and can be expensive. The molecularly filtered fish oil in xEO Mega supplies 300 mg of EPA and 300 mg of DHA per daily serving, and 55 mg of other omega-3s. It is also formulated with a blend of Clove, Frankincense, Thyme, Cumin, Wild Orange, Peppermint, Ginger, Caraway, & German Chamomile oils, that add antioxidant protection to the mix.

The complex also includes a microalgae carotenoid extract of pure astaxanthin which is clinically shown to provide powerful antioxidant and circulatory benefits, support eye health, improve muscle strength and endurance, aid the liver and digestive system, support skin health, and modulate healthy immune function.

 

 

Testimonials

“I’ve never been one to take supplements. I had tried and spent heaps of money to buy what I thought were good ones but would start and then slowly give up. I had never realised what a real supplement had the ability to do. For years I have suffered from extreme overwhelm that resulted in me withdrawing from events, friends and things that brought me joy. I started taking Lifelong Vitality with really no expectation – thinking I was going to have to take advantage of the 30-day money back guarantee. I couldn’t have been more wrong. After about a fortnight I was waking up earlier, having more energy throughout the day and having less erratic moods. Then I made the mistake and didn’t order the Lifelong Vitality Pack again. I was craving bad foods, staying up super-late and realising that my lacking nutritional state gave way to falling back into old habits. I would wake up feeling groggy and deciding it was easier to avoid the day than participate in it. I never go without Lifelong Vitality now – I simply cannot. For me to be my best self, my brightest self and able to enjoy everyday regardless of what I have to do I have to have Lifelong Vitality.” Jonathan M, Western Australia

“I have been taking the Life Long Vitality Pack trio for 3 years now….. and wouldn’t be without it. After trying so many different supplements over the last 20 years- particularly high quality, Practioner only ranges – I haven’t come across this distinct quality before. What sets LLV apart is the purity, the Whole Foods that make up each capsule without fillers and additives. The nutrients contained are bioavailable- so are absorbed better than anything I have tried. And then there is the unmistakable feeling of vitality, energy and resilience when taking them – if I miss a day or two, my energy drops and I know exactly what I am missing – my LLV! Would not be without them.”- Chantal Roelofs, Queensland

“As a mum of three with a FIFO husband, I rely on The bioavailability of the LLV supplements, knowing that when I take them, they are ACTUALLY absorbed into my body, giving me a very noticeable increase in energy, vitality & stability. When taking LLV consistently I feel less anxious, more energised, I sleep better, my metabolism is more efficient, and I feel stronger when I exercise. The value of this bundle is incredible when compared with others in stores, and the 30 day money back offer is proof enough of the forthcoming result of this product.” Leia Dillon, Queensland

 

“Have you ever taken a product and thought it wasn’t really doing all that much. Let’s say you then ran out of that product and with in 3 days sat there thinking WTF has happened to me. Well that was me with LLV. For me I have noticed the following differences.

  • not Mrs Mcsnappy bitch pants anymore. Less mood swings which means less yelling in my life

  • Less aches and pains
  • My stomach actually works so less heartburn
  • Amazing hair health and growth

I am no longer the tired, cranky, shift working mum who would lose their shit with the snap of my fingers. Who knew these pills would make a difference.”- Jodie House, New South Wales

“Why do I love it as a Naturopath?

It’s highly effective in providing a balanced nutritional and cell level support for those with chronic dis-ease.
Unwell people require Cell Energy, gentle Detox, gut, nervous system and immune support to begin with.

I find LLV as a Trio of supplements to replace perhaps up to 7 or more Herbal and Naturopathic remedies. It cuts my prescribing in half but also increases turnover time with clients… because they feel better faster!
So, in a nutshell.. with LLV, I can offer my clients a supportive tool that works at the highest level of impact in the shortest period of time at the lowest possible cost.

They report within days they have improved physical comfort, sleep, bowel function and energy.

I personally use LLV daily. As does my family.
From all the practitioner products I can choose from, I love LLV best. Love the whole food approach and the added essential oils to give the extra boost on the wholistic level.

My own experience includes more energy, clearer mind, decreased peri-menopausal symptoms, skin glowing, calmness in my mood, mind and spirit. Love it!” – Tess Godfrey, Queensland

“As a physio who has been practicing for over 20 years, my poor hands have taken the brunt of my physical job. I suffer with my joints especially in the cold weather, and especially after having my third child, when my ligaments became more stretched but I continued to work. I thought this was something I’d just have to live with, but when I started taking LLV a couple of years ago I noticed how much of an impact it made on my joints, especially my hands. I’m not perfect at taking them, I get slack, and I notice it only takes about 5 days without them for the pain to return when I work. And it probably only takes a week or two of taking them now for the pain to disappear. I was blown away by how effective they are for the health of your joints and I’d highly recommend for anyone who suffers with joint pain.” Charlie O’Connor

“Ever since running out of LLV five years ago when I first tried it, I vouched to never run out again. I immediately noticed my energy levels drop back to normal after not having it for one week. Other benefits I notice on the surface level include; healthy skin, hair and nails. My immune system is bullet proof and I hardly ever feel the symptoms of poor health. If I do, they’re quickly addressed with the oils. Because I love fitness, running and surfing, I found I was able to perform at a higher level for longer with a shorter recovery period. I sleep better and my mood is more grounded and stable. Another thing I love about LLV is it’s a wholefoods based supplement that’s also available in a Vegan version. I highly recommend trying LLV if you haven’t already.”- Byron Twilley, New South Wales
