Look at this ridiculous photo I took of Nico mid-yawn yesterday 🤣

When she's not out hunting rats she can be found following me around, climbing all over me, making biscuits (those murder mittens are SHARP 😳), purring REALLY loud, being OTT smoochy, and just...staring at me 😅

And if I'm doing admin, she will definitely flop herself down on my paperwork, like she is in this photo 🫠

I don't ignore Nico, because it's literally impossible to.

I would love to see funny photos of your pets! Please share in the comments 👇😊

Kia Ora Taranaki!

Let's talk about Vitamin C 🍋🍅🍈🥝🍊🍋‍🟩🥦🥬🍓🫑

🍓When it comes to strengthening your immune system and avoiding illness, it's important not to overlook good old Vitamin C.

🍅Vitamin C, along with it's many other benefits, is well known to reduce the duration and severity of viral infections. This essential-to-life nutrient is water-soluble, therefore our bodies can't store it, so it needs to be consumed every day.

🍋It's also important to know that not all Vitamin C supplements are created equal. Some forms are much more easily absorbed by the body than others.

🍊Sodium Ascorbate is a superior form of highly bioavailable, non-acidic Vitamin C. A 1/4-teaspoon dose provides a whooping 1270mg of Vitamin C! 😲

✅️The other good news is that it won't break the bank - I have these 100gm bags for just $11.70 😁

🥦Another fun fact is that Vitamin C is essential for Collagen synthesis, so if you want younger looking skin for longer you best be consuming adequate Vitamin C 🤷‍♀️ especially if you v**e or smoke, as both deplete your Vitamin C.

🫑Have a great day everyone and message or phone/text me on 021 032 9543 for more info or to purchase.

💥THIS LITTLE BEAUTY!!!

WHAT IS VIDAFY NANOFY CURCUMIN?
Nanofy Curcumin is a liquid Curcumin product that has overcome the lipid-absorption barrier using their BioMS process, making it more bioavailable than traditional curcumin:

👉277 X more absorbable for women
👉114 X more absorbable for men

BUT WHAT IS CURCUMIN? 🤔
Curcumin is the active anti-inflammatory substance in Turmeric.

🧐There have been a lot of high-quality studies done on Curcumin over the years and it has been found to have many health benefits, including:

🔥Powerful anti-inflammatory - fantastic for pain-relief/joint health/arthritis/fibromyalgia
🔥Powerful Antioxidant effect
🔥Cognitive/brain health
🔥Depression/mood
🔥Brain fog/fatigue
🔥Liver function - hormone balance, weight loss
🔥Cardiovascular health
🔥Immune system health
🔥Blood sugar balance/insulin resistance
🔥 Skin health
🔥Digestive function
🔥And much, much more...inflammation is the root cause of so many health issues for many people, often unbeknown to them.

👉So we've known about the many positive health benefits of Turmeric and Curcumin for a very, very long time, the problem has always been low ABSORPTION. With traditional supplements, unfortunately we lose around 90% of the active product during the digestive process.

✅️This is no longer an issue with Vidafy! This product is highly bioavailable, occurs within 5 minutes, and remains bioactive for up to 24 hours after taking it 😲

💥The recommended daily dose is just 10 drops, which is the equivalent of consuming 8-10kg of Turmeric. (Yes, you read that right! 😲)

I've been taking this product for about two years now, and after just a couple of weeks I noticed that my nasal passages and sinuses had opened up. This has always been an issue for me, so it's great to feel an improvement with my breathing. I also noticed that my menstrual cramps are less severe than normal, and my migraines are far less severe and often only last 1 day rather than 3 days now - these are literally life-changing results! 😊

Please contact me via messenger, or phone/text 021 032 9543 for more information on this exciting product, or see vidafyglobal.com/auroranaturopathy
