Hello! My name is Maggie, and I work in the Market Research department here at Swanson Health Products. I was proud to join the Swanson team because of the commitment to natural health food products. It's great to work in an industry where you have the opportunity to help people live healthier lives. Over the years at Swanson, I've been impressed with the dedication of our employees and with the loyalty of our customers.
My husband and I are doing our best at parenting three, energetic boys. Being a mom has taught me so much. Motherhood is one big magnifying glass. It makes the joyful times even more joyous, but it also gives you so many more things to worry about. I love hearing my kids tell stories and enjoy watching them learn new concepts. I worry about their health and safety more than I care to admit. Luckily for me, I have access lots of information regarding natural health and nutrition.
Here's to good health!
Ever wanted to know what vitamins, supplements and
healthy foods the employees at Swanson Health Products use? Here’s
your chance to peek inside an employee order and find out (and win
it all)! Today we get to look inside Maggie's employee
order...
One of my favorite things about working at Swanson Health Products
is employee order day. Once a week, we get to buy our
favorite items at a huge discount. My order is usually full
of natural organic foods and affordable vitamins. The items I

One great benefit of working at Swanson Health Products is employee
order day. Once a week, we get to purchase discount
vitamins. Today I placed an order that I will use this
weekend to fill Easter baskets.
It was easy for me to shop for the women in our family. For
my mom I focused on calcium and bone health. Her favorite
calcium is SW810
Swanson Calcium
Citrate and Vitamin D. My sister loves to cook, so her
basket is full of natural
organic
foods and spices.
I'm struggling with what to...

Last weekend, I served my family mixed berries for dessert. I
was worried that my kids wouldn't touch their berries because they
are such finicky eaters. So I sprinkled a little Swanson's
PureLo Lo Han sweetener on them. Not only did my kids eat the
strawberry, blueberry, raspberry mix, they asked me to make it
again the next day. This made me very happy!
One ongoing argument I have with my kids is at the grocery
store. They really want me to buy sugar cereal with a toy
prize in the box. I,...

The nice way to say it is to say that my children have
discriminating palates. The day to day reality is that they
claim most of the food we provide them is "gross" or "disgusting,"
and they plug their cute little noses to gag down their
dinners. Luckily for my husband and I, they are relatively
obedient, and we're able to get them to take their vitamins.
We think total health vitamins are important because their diets
are still lacking important nutrients...despite our best efforts
with...

Earlier today, my boss Doug and I were talking about the importance
of health. My dad recently suffered an accident and is still
in the ICU. Doug and I agreed that when it comes down to it,
health is all you have. Obviously, without your health, you
have nothing. My dad's situation makes me so grateful
for my own health. I promised myself that I won't take good
health for granted. So far, it's not an easy promise to keep.
The all natural health supplements I take are a good step in...

This year we're trying something a little different for Father's
Day. We're going to have a mini Father's Day celebration each
hour on the hour from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. My husband and I
have three boys, and each of the boys are making cards and cool
gifts. However, I need some good ideas for the other nine
hours. If you have a suggestion, please let me know.
Last weekend, my husband shaved his head. Luckily, he has a
nicely shaped head and looks good bald. Now it's more
important than...

Swanson sells so many good health products that it's difficult to
pick a favorite. That being said, I'm loving our Swanson
Ultra Liquid L-Carnitine. I just ran out today, and I'm
bummed that I'll have to wait until next week to place my employee
order. Last fall, I was looking for natural weight loss
help. I started by focusing on nutrition: calories, protein,
and fat. Fortunately, I started losing weight right
away. After a few weeks, the weight loss slowed, so I added
more exercise to my...

Last week, I left work unexpectedly to visit my dad in the
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the hospital. My father was
hospitalized after a fall on Sunday, May 30th. On Wednesday,
he took a turn for the worse and ended up in the ICU. I
grabbed a few clothes and left right away. It was a long,
four hour drive to the hospital. Once we finally arrived, I
didn't want to leave Dad's side. After many hours, I was
hungry and the cafeteria was closed, so I went to the vending
machine. I opted for a...

Last week, I joined fellow
Swanson Health Products employee Kari G. on a
trip to Washington D.C. It was my first attempt at
lobbying. Kari and I joined other members of the
Coalition for Dietary Supplements to meet with Senate
and House staff members. We wanted to communicate our
position on segments of the McCain bill that were being considered
as amendments to an upcoming food safety bill. We are proud
of our company and the vitamins and health supplements industry and
wanted to make our...
