New Chapter seems to make just one unique, wonderful product after the next, and we’re thrilled to introduce their newest offering,  Wholemega Fish Oil!

Wholemega uses only sustainably caught Alaskan salmon, which is among the world’s cleanest sources. Wholemega contains the entire compliment of 16 dfferent omega fatty acids, resuling in a fish oil that is much truer to nature than other products on the market.

We hope you will check it out, because this product is truly different from other fish oils, and we think you’ll be impressed.

Below is a condensed version of the information available about Wholemega found on the company’s website: www.newchapter.com.

• The Omega fatty acids in fish oil offer many health benefits, including nourishment of the heart, kidney, brain and eye tissues.*

• There’s actually a whole family of Omega fatty acids that provide a full spectrum of health benefits – including Omega 3’s, 5, 6’s, 7 and 9’s.

• For optimal health, one should achieve a healthy balance between Omega 6 fatty acids and Omega 3 fatty acids.

• “Purified” fish oils use a chemical process that can destroy the whole Omegas and the naturally occurring antioxidants and vitamins found in nature.

• Only a whole, naturally pure fish oil can deliver all the whole Omegas and the naturally occurring antioxidants and vitamins nature created.

• Wild-caught, naturally pure salmon is nature’s most powerful source of Omega fatty acids.

Because there are few things we love more than a really great read, we’re excited to introduce you to Yeah Dave’s Guide to Livin’ the Moment: Getting to Ecstasy through Wine, Chocolate and Your iPod Playlist, a brand new book by yoga instructor and all-around good guy, David Romanelli.

Far (so far!) from the preachy and self-congratulatory vibe we’ve come to expect from so many spiritual/self-help tomes, Yeah Dave’s Guide is rolling-on-the-floor funny while still managing to convey a message just about everyone could use: If you’re not “livin’ the moment,” you’ll miss out on the sweetest gifts life has to offer. Dave uses such unexpected themes as bad dance moves, flatulence as a self-defense tactic and a poodle named Schmutzie to simultaneously crack you up and teach you a whole bunch of valuable methods for being fully present in your life.

Whether you’re a dedicated yogini or someone who wouldn’t be caught dead in downward-facing dog pose, you’ll appreciate Dave’s down-to-earth perspective as a regular guy who happens to teach yoga and deals with the same insecurities and triumphs as the rest of us. Both hilarious and profound, Yeah Dave’s Guide is our five-star pick for summer reading.

Prepare yourself for flu season!

After months (literally!) of waiting, everyone’s favorite virus-fighting supplement is finally back on our shelves. Formerly known as BlockAid, New Chapter’s Immunity Take Care is quite possibly the most advanced winter-time wellness formula on the market.

This delicious, blueberry-flavored extract of Sambucus nigra (elderberry) has been proven to enter the bloodstream in less than 30 minutes. While many conventional extracts of Elderberry are available, none consistently provides the broad spectrum of herbal constituents available in Immunity Take Care. This breakthrough formula combines nature’s full herbal intelligence with a unique and patent-pending extraction process that guarantees full potency in every lozenge.

Safe and effective for kids and adults, Immunity Take Care can be used at any stage of infection, or as a preventative during the height of cold and flu season. You can bet the entire Co-op Vitamin Department is using it as we head into the chilly months!
