Muscadine Grapes: The age-old answer?
Health and wellness company Shaklee may has cracked the code experts have searched for over the last few decades. Aging. Look, we all age, some more graceful than others, admittedly, but health connoisseurs are now more active than ever in attempting to find ways to prolong their youthful glow.
The aging process initiates at a cellular level, prompting Shaklee to develop anti-aging gummies with clinically proven abilities to combat the signs of getting older from within. Vivix is enriched with polyphenol-rich ingredients like muscadine grape, aimed at slowing down the factors contributing to aging and supporting youthful cells.

A hair-loss-preventing pillow
We’ve come a long way since the oldest known pillow was created in Mesopotamia over 9,000 years ago. By pillow, we mean stone or wood carved to hold the neck in place off the ground. It doesn’t exactly scream comfort, but at least we’ve moved on from the men of ancient Greece and Rome who found a link between pillows and a sign of weakness. Now, we all love pillows.
California-based company Monapillow has seemingly invented the pillow of the future. Launched on Kickstarter and Indiegogo in May 2023, their Ice-Tech Graphene Pillow project raised over $10,000 from over 80 backers. It’s easy to see why.

Mesopotamia’s memory foam pillow claims to enhance sleep quality and productivity and features a triplex ice-tech design consisting of a graphene-infused cover, a cooling gel layer, and a memory foam core. The pillow provides optimal head and neck support, regulates temperature, prevents hair loss (you read that correctly), and reduces stress. Plus, it comes with a zipper that allows users to adjust the height and firmness of the pillow according to their preferences.

Use your head: The migraine miracle device
Migraines and chronic headaches affect more than 10% of people, worldwide. They’re one of the world’s most common health conditions and its most common neurological disease, making it the third most common illness in the world. Introducing the device that can help improve those figures, the gammaCore Sapphire, the first and only FDA-cleared non-invasive device to treat and prevent multiple types of headache pain via the vagus nerve.
The device works by stimulating the vagus nerve, which disrupts the pain signals traveling during headaches to prevent them from firing in the first place. Thus, this will help a person who experiences chronic headaches, cluster headaches, migraines, and more.
The groundbreaking device— which has received press from the likes of Forbes, Good Morning America and The Dr. Oz Show—is rated to treat acute headaches in several two-minute sessions and will help to prevent chronic headaches when used twice daily in four-minute sessions. The device only needs to be held against the right or left side of the neck during the treatment and has an adjustable intensity level to help a person achieve the one for their needs.

Pushing the moss-abilities
Is there anything Sea Moss can’t do? Historically consumed in its raw form or added to broths and soups, it’s now a rapidly growing wellness trend courtesy of its ability to support gut health, boost immunity and promote healthy skin and hair, amongst others.
When we talk about Sea Moss, we automatically talk about Planted Seeds, which has recently broadened its selection of functional sea moss products, introducing the Blue Gold Sea Moss Gel and the Green Gold Sea Moss to its lineup. Nestled in wellness and naturally sourced items, Planted Seeds is dedicated to upholding quality, sustainability, and the multifaceted advantages of sea moss consumption.

An essential aspect of the functional sea moss gels lies in their potential to foster a healthy gut, encouraging prebiotic and digestive benefits. Beyond its digestive perks, sea moss has been linked to many positive impacts on health and beauty, including enhanced skin and hair hydration, boosted immunity, and aid in weight loss.
The latest additions to Planted Seeds’ collection blend sea moss with spirulina. The Blue Gold Sea Moss Gel promises to augment cognitive function and combat inflammation, while the Green Gold Sea Moss purports to aid heavy metal detoxification.

Say hello to the Therabody RecoverTherm Cube, a compact and multifunctional device for athletes to use as part of their recovery process.
