But as soon as we hit our 20's, our levels start to decline (about 1% each year) which is why it's one of the top causes of aging...think fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin AND also the reason that it's increasingly popular in supplements & skincare products! ⁠

Product Swap: Laundry Detergent

Don’t let product packaging fool you! Some companies label their products in a way that convinces people they are more environmentally friendly, healthy, natural, free of harmful chemicals, and recyclable.

Switch to safer and check out one of our preferred products: @betterlifecleanhappens! ⁠…

Hormone Balancing Star Ingredient: Reishi Mushroom

Known as the "Queen of Mushrooms," reishi has been revered for thousands of years and historically used in Asian countries for health and longevity.
