Lucky Vitamin Presents: Body Basix

Filed Under: Sports Nutrition at 11:00 am | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor

Lucky Vitamin is happy to present Body Basix supplements to our customers.

Body Basix provides products to help you reach your health, wellness and fitness goals. The company offers sports nutrition supplements for everybody, and wants to make performance nutrition easy to understand and easy to use for everyday athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

Body Basix features a simple icon system which immediately communicates the benefits of each respective product, thereby removing confusion. There are six core components of nutrition: protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals and water. These six components, independently and collectively, represent the six categories of performance nutrition products: hydration, nutrition, wellness, recovery, strength and energy.

Hydration: exercise challenges your body’s natural hydration balance by producing sweat which drains the needed supply of electrolytes and minerals.

Recovery: replenishing your nutrients immediately after exercise will help you recover much faster and reduce muscle soreness.

Nutrition: for those times when circumstances don’t allow the opportunity for whole foods, choose nutrition products with a short, recognizable list of ingredients.

Strength: complex carbohydrates and high quality proteins are necessary to build muscle and for lean body mass.

Wellness: when we can’t get all necessary nutrients from whole food sources, wellness products like multi-vitamins ensure your body has what it needs for optimal health.

Energy: help optimize your body’s performance. The correct carbohydrates are necessary so that your body doesn’t borrow protein as a fuel.

Lucky Vitamin is now offering Body Basix supplements at our discounted prices.

Be Ready for Cold Weather

Filed Under: Announcements & News at 4:00 pm | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor

January and February bring us the coldest days of the year and, despite knowing that, for some reason we always wait until the last moment to get ready for the winter months.

Winter can be fun as long as you are prepared for. You can have a great time during snow storms whether you are outdoors or inside, and as long as you don’t have to be rushing to places to get the items you need.

So, if you live in areas where snow and ice are common, get ready and enjoy a hassle-free winter. Make sure you have shovels, ice scrapers, and ice melting products. Sprinkle sidewalks and driveways with salt or ice melting solutions. Then, shovel off resulting slush, making it a lot easier to remove thick accumulations of ice and snow. Needless to say that winter clothing is also necessary. Gloves, hats and boots are always needed during the winter months. If you do not have time to go to a store to shop for winter products, on line shopping can help you get prepared.

Lucky Vitamin offers an incredible selection of winter aids to help you weather the storm. Save on cold weather items and help protect the environment purchasing eco-friendly ice melting compound products or Earth-friendly fire logs.

You can also shop for heated scarves, comfortable mittens and much more and have everything delivered to your home without even getting outside in the cold. So, stay warm and shop hundreds of cool products at luckyvitamin.com.

Lucky Vitamin Presents: Joyva

Filed Under: Health Foods at 10:00 am | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor

Lucky Vitamin continues to add new brands to our site, providing much more than just vitamins and supplements. The latest addition brings a premium selection of chocolate treats to our customers: Joyva.

Joyva offers top quality chocolate products and can be your source for delicious treats that will thrill the entire family. Joyva products are gluten-free, and also certified by Kof-K Kosher supervision as kosher parve. This means the Joyva manufacturing facility is spotlessly clean, the ingredients of all products are of the highest quality, and anyone keeping kosher can eat Joyva products.

Joyva started back in 1905 in a small town in Russia called Kiev. Nathan Radutzky, a simple entrepreneur with a recipe and an idea, had a recipe for one of the oldest known confections in the world, eaten by kings and titans, and princes and sultans. In some parts of the world it was considered a sacred symbol of immortality and life. In other cultures, it was thought to promote fertility and sexual response. It also tasted really good and that recipe was Halvah.

Halvah has been called the “food of the Gods”. An ancient Turkish confection, dating back 3000 years was about to be refined, reinterpreted, and reinstated as the food of choice among the eastern European immigrants in the early part of the 20th century. Halvah, which means “sweet meat” in Turkish, was going to get a modern twist.

In 1907 the first batch of Halvah was produced in Manhattan and the Joyva Corporation had taken off. Headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, Joyva is still a family run business developing many candy and specialty food items that have been loved for generations. Jell rings, marshmallow twists, sesame crunch, sesame tahini, and of course the beloved Halvah.

Lucky Vitamin Presents: St.Dalfour

Filed Under: Health Foods at 5:00 pm | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor

Lucky Vitamin is happy to introduce St.Dalfour products to our customers.

St.Dalfour is a privately owned family company under the same ownership since its founding in 1984. The St.Dalfour production facility is located in the Aquitaine region of Southwest France, an area known for centuries of culinary excellence as well as the famous wines of Bordeaux. Available in over 120 countries, St.Dalfour Fruit Spreads are made from natural fruits and free of any preservatives or added sugar.

St.Dalfour is the first company to have applied special concentrated grape juice from which the aroma and flavor was removed during the jam production, which made it possible to produce naturally sweet 100% jam without added sugar. This method has its origin with the grandmother of Mr. Kistner, the president of St.Dalfour. During the First World War, sugar was very limited in supply and quite expensive. However, the Kistner family owned vineyards, with access to extensive supply of grapes, and made jam with concentrated grape juice instead of sugar. This is the origin of the world renowned St.Dalfour fruit conserve recipe.

Today, St.Dalfour produces only under its own brand, so commitment to quality, healthy eating, and superior taste is unwavering and never subject to compromise.

St.Dalfour products taste great and are as healthful and nutritious as possible. The quality of all products depends on each ingredient, so only the finest raw materials are used. Products are released to market only after they have attained and surpassed the most rigorous standards. In this age of finding shortcuts and cutting costs, St.Dalfour remains guided by only one criterion: offering consumers worldwide the very finest all-natural products and ensuring that they are worthy of the St.Dalfour name.

Lucky Vitamin Presents: Attitude

Filed Under: Natural Cleaning Aids at 11:00 am | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor


Lucky Vitamin is proud to present another top quality, eco-friendly brand of household cleaning products: Attitude.

Attitude offer a solution to a pressing issue, proving to everyone that it is possible to develop environmentally friendly products that are also effective and as accessible as their traditional counterparts. The company has created the first series of carbon-neutral, environmentally friendly household products.

Attitude products were conceived to change the incredibly paradoxical process of cleaning up the home environment using loads of chemical products. Attitude wanted not only to develop non-toxic products but also to debunk this contradiction, changing the way we clean, and ending the reasons people didn’t use natural products such as “environmentally-friendly products don’t work”, are “too expensive”, and “can’t be found anywhere”.

Based in Montréal, Bio Spectra Attitude brand wants to promote responsible consumption by offering high performing products that minimize impacts on health and environment. The company started in December 2005, developing surface cleaners and from a very small team working in a very small factory, Attitude has grown to develop more products, adding detergents for dishwashing and clothing, as well as hand soaps.

However, while Attitude expanded its presence on the market, more and more products purporting to be environmentally friendly have flooded the shelves in recent years. Fighting against confusion while promoting the truth, the Attitude team had lots of work to do. Does biodegradable mean environmentally friendly? Not necessarily! Does “phosphate-free” mean environmentally friendly? No.

So, the company has decided to make consumers’ lives easier while demonstrating dedication to the environment by certifying all products through a particularly credible independent organization, EcoLogo.

Lucky Vitamin Presents: Essential Oxygen

Filed Under: Personal Care at 5:00 pm | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor

Lucky Vitamin is proud to announce the introduction of Essential Oxygen products to our site.

Essential Oxygen offers an unparalleled line of oral care products to help support a variety of different issues.

This top line of products can promote healthier gums and whiter teeth, and also support tooth sensitivity, morning mouth, and fight bad breath, canker sores, and tartar. A very natural line, all Essential Oxygen products are free of sodium laurel sulfate, chlorine bleach, animal testing, pesticides, fluoride, glycerin, and alcohol.

The Essential Oxygen organic brushing rinse toothpaste plus mouthwash is a flavored mouth rinse that can be used as toothpaste and mouthwash at the same time.

The ultimate oral solution for whiter teeth and healthier gums, this product is essential to improve toxic morning mouth.

Toxic morning mouth occurs because of the body’s natural cleansing process that takes place while we sleep each night.  Each night, our liver cleanses our blood and many of the toxins and bacteria accumulate in our mouth.  It’s not an accident that our breath is not its best first thing in the morning.

Long ago, Ayurvedic practitioners observed this phenomena and recommended tongue scraping as a way to rid ourselves of yesterday’s toxins.
Essential Oxygen Brushing Rinse operates on the same principle, but removes all the bad bacteria, not just some of it.  Upon wakening and before swallowing saliva, swish and brush your teeth and tongue with Essential Oxygen Brushing Rinse and your immune system will be thrilled.

Saf Slim – New Year, New Diet, Try SafSlim with Safflower Oil

Filed Under: Diet & Weight Loss at 5:00 pm | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor

Starting a new diet is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions. So, what better news than a new diet to help people lose weight and reach their goals?

Dr. Oz recently brought Montel Williams to his show to present a new diet featuring the unique safflower oil supplement SafSlim, a top selling weight loss product at Lucky Vitamin.com.

The latest Dr.Oz diet simply consists of the Saf Slim product, safflower oil supplements (about 6 grams of linoleic acid), safflower oil (2 tsp daily for 7-10 grams) and sunflower seeds (3 tsp daily).

Made by Re-Body, the SafSlim Belly Fat Transformation High Linoleic Safflower Oil is a revolutionary breakthrough in targeted belly fat science. SafActive78 is a patented blend of 78% potency which is the highest concentration of linoleic acid. This product is the first-ever solution to target unsightly and health-threatening fat that accumulates around the belly region.

Sold on television and coast-to-coast, SafSlim’s formula features a proprietary blend of non-GMO, expeller pressed, high-linoleic safflower oil which, according to studies on obese, diabetic women, can significantly reduced belly fat, a 6.3% on average in just 16 weeks. This “belly fat omega” has been shown to activate hormones, such as adipnectin, to help mobilize stubborn dormant midsection fat, curb appetite and improve insulin sensitivity.

Now, back to the Dr. Oz show, Montel stated he used the product for 11 weeks and lost 2-inches off his waist. Montel worked out every day and changed his eating habits long ago, but believes this product gave him that extra boost. He suggested that, in order to get the full benefits, you should take the recommended dosage half hour before meals.

Alaffia offers a unique line of skin care products formulated and created based on indigenous beauty knowledge and fair trade ingredients. The company was founded to alleviate poverty and advance gender equality in West Africa through the fair trade of handcrafted Shea butter, providing fair wages to all cooperative members and farmers.

Alaffia firmly believes that it is their duty as educated, healthy, and determined individuals to take advantage of information and communication to work towards bettering the conditions of people and communities who are not so advantaged. They also understand that truly eradicating poverty, gender inequality or environmental collapse requires cooperation and action by all levels of society, including individuals, governments, organizations of every scope and scale. The company helps communities in central Togo sustain themselves through cooperative and community projects of the fair trade of their indigenous resource of Shea butter.

Shea Butter is the oil from the nuts of wild Shea trees (Vitellaria paradoxa, also known as Butyrospermum parkii in the cosmetic industry) scattered throughout the wooded savanna of West and Central Africa. Shea Butter has been used for centuries in Africa and is completely enmeshed within the history and culture of the West African savanna. Shea Butter has always been a staple of African pharmacology and is mentioned in almost all African historical documents, including a reference as early as Cleopatra’s Egypt, which mentions caravans bearing clay jars of Shea Butter for cosmetic use.

Alaffia ensures the use of only sustainably harvested, wild-crafted, and traditionally extracted, unrefined Shea butter for the base of all skin and hair care products.Additionally, the company dedicates 10% of sales proceeds to community enhancement projects in Africa and other parts of the world.
