On the Shelf

Babies are organic, so why isn't their baby food? Healthy Times agrees, which is why they've just come out with 18 varieties of baby food that's said to be: certified organic; GMO-free; free of added preservatives, fillers, sugar or salt; and "lovingly made with a mother's touch." The company also has a full line of instant Organic Baby Cereals (not shown). Pictured here are: Sun-Sweet Strawberry Kiwi, Farmhouse Country Vegetables and Orchard Fruit Peekaboo. Ask your retailer to call 1-858-513-1550, Poway, CA.

Goodbye winter, welcome spring

And we have blue cypress oil from Down Under to help us. With "a delicate, woody fragrance," this important therapeutic oil has been used by Native Australians for centuries! Chosen as the scent of the 2000 Olympic Games, Aubrey's line of blue cypress-oil products helps us bid goodbye to winter with its Blue Cypress Winter Bath (good for any time of year when we want to have a nice, warming bath), and to welcome spring by freshening up -- our hands (with the Blue Cypress Germ-Zapping Hand Cleaner) and our homes (with the Blue Cypress Air Freshener Disinfectant Spray). Ask your retailer to call: 1-800-282-7394, Tampa, FL.

Nitrogen and our muscles

No, not nitrous oxide gas, or laughing gas, but the nitrogen we need in our bloodstream in the muscle-recovery/muscle-building equation. That's been the focus of Dr. Joe Klemczewski's research behind Genetitec's high-protein/low-carb performance nutrition products, namely its Prophase and SOYpH lines. According to the company, a great deal of attention has been given to such details as: purity (Aspartame-free) and source of proteins; absorption speed of amino acids (keeping blood nitrogen levels higher, longer); taste; absorption and digestibility.
