Save your joints!

I keep hearing people everywhere complain about how bad their joints hurt. Just the other day I heard it from someone nearly half my age, the poor girl could barely bend down! 
A mi no me duele nada....Well I'm here to say my joints don't hurt me ;) I have raved before about this product but I feel that this product deserves a lot more testimonials. I have been using the Prime Isotonix joint support since July last year. 
OMG I am so glad that I started it. Last year in April I committed to my rigorous boot camp workout 3 times a week. I began to add more to my workout routine but I noticed that my normal supplementing was just not cutting it anymore. My knees were hurting, my joints were really rusty & my workout recovery was well, lets just say there was no recovery so I began the anti-aging routine. If you are over 30 or you feel you need help with your joints, especially if you want to be more active & you know you can do more if you just didn't have so much joint pain & inflammation.  I have been there, now all I can say is the results are phenomenal No pain Yes gain ;) I workout better now than when I was a teen. Actually I have never in my life have been so active and & I am no spring chicken. So its no secret when people ask me "OMG Annette how do you do it"? I feel a little guilty but its not a secret I tell them I drink my vitamins & joint support the S#it works! The fact that it is in isotonic form makes it a super plus! I drink that s#it in the morning with the Isotonix Prime longevity support on an empty stomach and I am wonder woman immediately! Isotonix absorbs within minutes into your bloodstream like blood sweat or tears. I love it! Now I'm not saying you are going to be wonder woman or super man but I can guarantee your joints will really appreciate it. 
The 3 powerhouse ingredients are in isotonic form so that means they will be absorbed within 5 minutes

1. Glucosamine-Supports healthy joint function and 

promotes the normal production of synovial fluid, 

which lubricates your joints and regenerates cartilage

2. Pycnogenol®-Inhibits the body's over active 

inflammatory processes associated with the normal 

aging process

3. Hyaluronic Acid-Helps maintain strong, healthy 

cartilage and promotes normal healing




I am just so grateful for this product the way I am able to exercise and not complain of any discomfort is priceless! 
Do you have a testimonial? I want to hear about it.

What's in this stuff?

I started my Isotonix Prime Anti Aging kit, I started the Prime hgh the same day I got it because I can take it at night before going to bed so I did, that was July 18. It's been 2 weeks now that I have been religiously taking the Isotonix Longevity & joint support formula cocktail in the mornings on an empty stomach, by the way they taste great :) and after my workout as directed I been taking the Prime HGH. I wasn't expecting to feel like I was 15 years old or anything like that, but just this Wednesday my workout group was in the bathroom talking about how sore they were from Mondays workout. I wasn't really that much sorer & I know I didn't cheat myself because I do push my self at every workout, but I didn't think much of it. Today after my normal workout I noticed that I was not as pooped near the end of the workout. I felt more energetic today for some odd reason, so while on my 30 minute power walk I thought "It's gotta be the anti aging kit!" I got home did my normal routine went to my site and read all the ingredients & there it was all the information I needed to validate that this stuff really works! 
Wow now I'm really more excited about this stuff, it really, really works! 
So lets start with the Prime Ultimate longevity 
Instanized branched chain Amino Acids helps with muscle retention that's why I was not as sore as the others! Before even when my 4 pound Yorkie jumped on me I was screaming!
Huperzine A it says its great for the memory, I admit I don't think this part has kicked in yet because I called my boo 3 times yesterday & since he didn't answer when he called me back I totally forgot what I was calling him for until the 3rd time but that's OK that happens I got a million things going through my mind, but I will say that today I really felt very clear minded while doing my power walk, it was kind of a good funny weird thing.

Now the Joint support

Primary Benefits of Prime™ Joint Support Formula by Isotonix®*:

  • Supports relief from temporary inflammation associated with the normal aging process and daily activity ( that's why I finished cleaning my house faster with less complaining!)
  • Helps maintain healthy joint fluidity and flexibility (no wonder my knees don't hurt like before thanks Scotti Pippen!)
  • Promotes normal cartilage synthesis and regeneration ( I don't know what this means)
  • Promotes optimal joint health (don't feel rusty after my workout)
  • Helps maintain joint comfort (Again I feel great & I'm walking normal instead of like I got hit by a car! )
  • Supports normal, healthy levels of COX-2 and 5-LOX (I really don't know what this means either but it helps)
Then my favorite that I knew it worked already but 

combined with the other 2 BAMB!! 

Prime HGH I love this product!


So you see with the Glycine in my Prime HGH also the memory part should be kicking in any time now, I know my mental function is doing much better because I am getting more done.

The L-Arginine is stimulating my pituitary gland so I'm producing natural 
HGH in my body yay!

The L-Glutamine is helping my muscles again that's why I'm not crying after the workout my recovery is much faster ;)

Hey I believe in the No pain No gain but I don't have to torture myself ;)

Colostrum helped me with the bleachers this week ( I love the bleachers) & the running around the shelter no wonder I didn't have to stop as much gasping for air ;)

L-Lysine I really need this because since I lost so much fat I need to build protein now so I can firm up

Taurine-Hello I got a lot of energy!

& DNA/RNA promotes normal tissue regeneration- I don't know what that means either but wow the whole kit is so totally worth it! 

I wouldn't give my energy for my 17 year old, she complains of a short 20 minute bike ride to work, are you serious?? I'm dieing to get a bike so I can bike it back & forth to boot camp!

Wow if you are over 30-35 I STRONGLY recommend the whole kit!


I'm going to be 42 the following Monday & I truly feel like I haven't even hit 30.

Antioxidants are not all equal

Antioxidants are not all created equal & they do not take place of typical vitamins & minerals. The most common antioxidant is your typical vitamin C & E. Most of us know that vitamin C promotes a healthy immune system but it also helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Vitamin E promotes normal healing & protects cell membranes from free radical damage. I remember back in the day I was probably 11 or 12 hearing about how vitamin E was good for the complexion. I would take a couple of vitamin E pills into a hot shower poking a hole with a needle & squeezing the oil onto my face for a healthier complexion :)
Most people don't know about Oligermic Proanthocyandins O-what?..... also known as OPCs. I didn't either until a few years ago. These antioxidants I think are cooler than your typical Cs & Es. OPCs are a group of closely related compounds found in cranberries, blueberries, green & black teas. The most powerful OPCs are grape seed extract & maritime pine bark. Grape seed extracts have great concentrations of vitamin E flavinoids, linoleic acid & phenolic. The maritme pine bark has pycnogenol.  Pycnogenal optimizes production of nitric oxide in the artery walls, allows better blood flow & reduced pressure. It does wonders for the skin too. OPCs are shown to be 20 times more powerful than vitamin C & 50 times more potent than vitamin E. OPC studies show help with varicose veins, ADHD, asthma, & allergies. I personally know people who have had incredible testimonials with Isotonix OPC3 with cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue & much much more. There is so much information on OPCs it's amazing. I have 2 great books on the subject Live better longer & Harvesting Natures Anti aging Bounty both are short books for those who are not into reading a 500 page book. 
I personally noticed that when I was in my mid twenties I was always really tired very low energy or no energy. By my mid early thirties I started a fitness regimen, for over 2 years of working out consistently 5 times a week, I was still very tired. By 2 pm I would get so sleepy it was a bit scary for a while. I was feeling something was wrong with me. I was spinning 4 times a week but it was agonizing pushing through my workout. When I first started on my Isotonix OPC3 regimen, I remember I was taking it for about a week, I was in my spinning class & by the middle of my workout just before I would normally be wishing it would be over, I suddenly got a huge burst of energy. The burst of energy was so amazing it was exhilarating. I got chills all over my body. I had never had that feeling before, it was even weird. I thought to myself, wow that stuff really works. I have been taking my all my Isotonix supplements for years now. I can truly say I feel more energetic, stronger & even healthier today than when I was in my twenties & thirties. I feel I did reverse some oxidative stress & free radical damage. I really was feeling rusty there for some time. I live by my Isotonix line of antioxidants & vitamins. I drink them all because I really feel they are working. If you don't feel your vitamins working you have to really think, are they really working? I know there are many supplements on the market so do your research carefully. 
I remember months before I started my isotonix regimen I had purchased an over the counter 1 a day supplement. I always would forget to take them. You know why you forget to take them? Because if you don't feel it why take them right? If you do take vitamins or antioxidants you should feel them, if not why are you taking them? Even if you are taking isotonix & you don't feel them, like a burst of energy going through your bloodstream,  I guarantee you are not taking them correctly or consistently. Very important when taking your isotonix use the correct exact amount of powder & water. Always use filtered water to mix & use room temperature water it makes a huge difference! And most of all take them daily! Believe it or not I learned that from doctors who really believe in the Isotonix line & they recommend it to their patients. Amazing huh & you thought we just had great makeup ;)

I got my Anti-Aging kit

All day waiting for my favorite delivery people UPS finally drops off my Shop.com-MA order, its finally here I'm so excited its my Prime Isotonix Anti-Aging kit. It's no secret that I'm over 40ish & I have been wanting to get back on this regimen for a while. Like anything, if you want to get the best results you need to commit to really taking those supplements as directed. I have used the Prime HGH secretagogue several years ago & I was literally tickled pink by the results ;) Well what I mean is that the Prime HGH is a natural supplement that stimulates aka tickles the pituitary gland to produce its own hormone. Most adults begin to lose HGH from their body once they hit that 30 mark. So when I was introduced to Prime at the age of over 35 ish it was definitely a product I wanted & needed to try. It first sparked my attention when my junior partner who was even younger than I back then ordered it & called me with her testimonials. She said "Annette I ordered that Prime HGH to try it and I was shocked how in just one day I noticed a difference. I normally have trouble falling asleep & the 1st night I drank it I fell asleep like a rock within minutes of going to bed." Then she went on to talk about how she felt more active, active. I'm keeping this a PG blog but for those ladies who don't feel as active as those earlier years then you know what I mean. But lets move on here...my goal is to build lean muscle stimulate my pituitary gland & feel younger. I truly feel that this product is going to help me again & now will help me with my daily boot camp workout ;) I haven't tried the 2 other products in the kit but I have heard great reviews from Scottie Pippen who just happens to endorse the product. Scotti is great friends with Loren & Jr & he himself asked for a product that would help him with his joint flexibility. So there it was another brilliant partnership was born to create Prime joint support formula by Isotonix & Prime ultimate longevity formula. Boy do I need it! 
The joint support will help promote temporary inflammation associated with normal aging, healthy joint flexibility & normal cartilage & regeneration synthesis. I really don't know what that means but I know its going to work for me because its from the Isotonix family ;) The longevity formula will help with muscle fatigue & most important my memory! OMG that's what I really been looking for! For several years now I have been suffering from short term memory loss....& I have a real good memory, I really do! But lately I have so much information in my mind that when I get up to do something I enter the other room & totally forget what I went in there for! Ugh I hate that!
I have to go back to where I was to pick up my thoughts that I left behind to remember what the ___ I was going to do. Or tell me if this has ever happened to you, you make a call it starts ringing they answer & you totally forgot who you were calling or for what you were calling ugh! Or even worse you are freaking out running all over the place talking on the phone & you scream "where is my phone" then the person you are talking to says "Mom you are talking on the phone with it"! Hey I know I'm not the only one because I have seen some coocoo for coco puffs everywhere. So I'm not saying that its going to cure you that's for sure, but if you think you are still sane then maybe all you just need is a little supplementing to help remind you that you are still young & healthy ;) I strongly recommend trying the whole kit. 


Oh & my TLS chocolate shake is in the back I was all out ;)

Every woman deserves to look 10 Years Younger ;)

This is a product that not many ladies know about. The name is very catchy too. I remember the 1st time I used it was at the company convention when it was launched. Convention is an all day event so after 6 hours you tend to be tired and it could show on your makeup and your face. I was sprayed in the morning when I went to the Motives booth & I remember being really tired and going into the bathroom, when I looked up at the mirror I thought to myself " dam my makeup looks great & I don't even look tired!" then I remembered oh it must be that 10 years younger spray :). Well yes it was! Its a top seller in Miami. Its crazy how my girls go through this product! Lilly is a total addict. She sprays it all the time! My daughter is only 24 and goes crazy over it for her and her clients! Every makeup artist should have a few bottles and every average woman deserves to look 10 years younger! I heard through the grapevine that its one of JLOs favorites too. I guess that's why she landed that new boyfriend because she looks like shes still in her 20s!
Anyway this product sets your makeup for up to 10 hours or more. It gives like a hair spray effect so your makeup is SET! Helps makeup from getting into wrinkles or scars keeps your makeup looking flawless all day perfect for weddings, photo shoots or just looking 10 years younger! Less touch up throughout the day & it can even save you makeup! The key ingredient in  Motives® 10 Years Younger Makeup Setting Spray
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
Rich in enzymes, amino acids and plant compounds, aloe vera helps to keep the skin moisturized, maintain normal, healthy blood circulation, and soothes and rejuvenates the skin, leaving it looking and feeling smooth and firm and 10 years younger!

So be sure get your Motives 10 years younger spray ;)
