Coconut Oil Coffee (Blended, Not Stirred...That's the Secret!)

Friday, April 26, 2013 by Kaitlin W

Ben H. challenged me to put coconut oil in my coffee because he had learned that is one of the many uses our customers have for our delicious coconut oil. The reason for this craze is that it's said to give an extra kick of natural energy on top of your caffeinated energy! It sounded great in theory, but in practice the idea of putting oil in my coffee grossed me out.

But, Ben's been here longer so I knew ultimately I'd have to be the one to bite this bullet. So you can imagine my genuine...

Rain, Snow, Flood... Marathon Training in Fargo Proves Challenging!

Thursday, April 25, 2013 by Ben H

We’re now less than a month away from the Fargo Marathon (May 18th), but Mother Nature doesn’t seem to care. Last week Fargo received enough snow to make April the snowiest month of the winter. Yes, April is apparently now a winter month here in Fargo, ND.

It’s also flood season. So as flurries once again greeted me on my morning commute to work yesterday, I also passed by a convoy of semi trailers hauling sandbags, signaling the beginning of our annual fight to keep the Red River from inundating...

L-Carnitine and Acetyl L-Carnitine Question

Monday, April 22, 2013 by Vitamins and Supplements FAQs

Dear Swanson Vitamins,

I read your Explanation of the Difference Between L-Carnitine and Acetyl L-Carnitine. There is a new study by the Cleveland Clinic stating that Carnitine may contribute to preventing the body from excreting excess cholesterol.

I regularly take an Acetyl-L-Carnitine + Alpha Lipoic Acid Supplement. My question is: will the Acetyl-L-Carnitine also be damaging, or would that only be the L-Carnitine? Would the Acetyl group prevent the reaction in the gut with the bacteria?...

DIY Dog Treats: Homemade "Natural Greenies" For Fresh Doggy Breath!

Friday, April 19, 2013 by Courtney K

A while back I needed something to do with a ridiculous over-abundance of pumpkin. (We belong to a CSA and went a little overboard at the end-of-season open pick.) One of the uses I found for it was dog treats. My boxer-bully-lab-mutt, Buddy, loved these crunchy treats. He's got some fairly horrendous dog breath, so after the pumpkin biscuit success, I thought I'd try my hand at some breath-freshening natural dog treats. I found the below recipe, which aims to replicate the famous Greenies® brand...

Thursday, April 18, 2013 by Ben H

With a fresh blanket of April snow (yes, you read that right... we just got dumped on with another round of heavy, wet snow up here in the Upper Midwest), it makes perfect sense to turn our attention to our area’s largest annual outdoor event: the Fargo Marathon.

Swanson Health Products is once again the headline sponsor of the Swanson Health Products Health & Fitness Expo at the Fargo Marathon, now in its sixth year! We’re gearing up for another two-day expo, hosting a booth full of free...

More Magnesium: Why You Can't Count On Diet Alone (Anymore)

Tuesday, April 16, 2013 by Lee Swanson

Dear Friends and Valued Customers,

In today's featured video from iHealthTube.com, Dr. Guosong Liu explains what magnesium does in your body, specifically highlighting how important it is for brain health. Dr. Liu goes on to talk about why, if you're relying only on your diet, you may not be getting adequate amounts of this important mineral. Today's average diet looks a lot different than it did 100 years, and Dr. Liu shows us that modern studies are confirming that diet alone just isn't enough.
