Modern wellness: Biostrips

Think of your circles: work, neighbors, family, friends. Doesn’t seem like a slew of them haven’t been feeling well? Absent co-workers, missing faces from the pool, neighbors missing the block party . . . it feels like we all missed the whole summer!

The reasons aren’t much of a mystery. Much of the country experienced extreme weather, keeping us out of the great outdoors. You probably noticed in your local grocery stores, as a result, the fresh local summer produce was mostly missing. Stress abounds and doesn’t seem to be abating soon. Many offices are having to do more with fewer people: you work all day and half the night, take forever to wind down and go to sleep. No wonder we’re unwell!

But it’s the stuff of sitcoms to line up a bunch of vitamin pill bottles on the kitchen counter. And if you already take medication for ailments, it just becomes untenable. Gummies and so-called nutrition bars are mostly loaded with sugar — probably not what you were looking for. Biostrips are a brand-news concept in wellness. I was happy to be hosted to experience it!

They’re sugar-free, vegan strips that dissolve in your mouth. Through new encapsulation technology, vitamins and nutrients are delivered in the paper-thin strip. They’re kind of like fruit leathers and pretty tasty. Some are for the am, some for other times, just look at the label. They come packaged in convenient individual packets, like a wet-nap. You can keep a few in a wallet! When using them consistently, they add benefits to your health. There’s no need for refrigeration for up to 2 years.

Ladies, getting help with hormones in a safe, tasty way is a modern miracle. Hormone Health comes in mocha flavor to support better mood, energy, skin and well-being. It takes just seconds to dissolve and I’d say I noticed results in a little over a week. There are 30 strips to a box.

Some of us know we need this and probably many of us don’t know we need this yet: Glucose Support. Of course, if you’re got the diabeetus or what-have-you, check with your doctor. With the all-clear, this is a way to get rid of the food noise for things that would undo your meds and care! It has active ingredients like clinically studied Reducose® and Chromax. This has a delish guava flavor. It helps to support blood sugar and curb cravings.

I don’t know about you, but I feel like I can always spot people jacked up on energy drinks. They’re snippy-snappy and insufferable. Clean Energy is a better way to go. It “supports energy and focus while helping to manage stress and promote skin health.” Bonus! Your energy drink isn’t doing all that! It has a fresh berry-mint flavor.

Immune Support “enhances immune function, supports gut health and promotes skin health”. It has a fresh orange flavor — isn’t orange the flavor that makes you just think of good health? So much better than mixing up a bunch of weird powders. And some of us can’t be slugging down tumblers of the ol’ OJ.
