I like to think I have a good diet, everything in moderation, and balance is key. I always make an effort to add extra veg to my dinners to bulk up on all those essential vitamins and minerals. That's why I'd never bothered with taking vitamin supplements. Except for those orange powder packets I grab in desperation when I'm already stuffed up and sneezing - they never work for me anyway.

Last year for the first time I got 3 colds. Once fall hit I was feeling pretty run down. My sister, Margot, had the same problem. But she's gotten ahead of it this year and is already taking her vitamins. She knows I think they're all over-processed capsules with no legitimate ingredients.

"I'm taking Paleovalley's Essential C Complex. You're going to love them", Margot told me. "They use all organic, natural ingredients, just like you." I really didn't believe in supplements and was convinced I could get everything I needed from my healthy diet.

But, this fall I'll need something to boost my immune system and keep me strong through the winter. I really didn't need a repeat of last year. So I took Margot's word for it and decided to give Paleovalley a look, just to see what they say.

Straight off the bat, I love it that they're GMO-free and use whole, organic ingredients, no synthetic ingredients, or fillers. Although they have many products to help boost your health, I focused on their Vitamin C Complex. Two capsules have 450mg of Vitamin C which is 750% of the recommended daily amount. This made me wonder how many mgs I was actually getting through my food. Perhaps I wasn't hitting my daily recommended dosage?

When I checked out the ingredients I was delighted there was no synthetic ascorbic acid - found in generic Vitamin C supplements that only deliver a fraction of the vitamin. I'll admit that I'd never heard of the organic wholefood ingredients Acerola Cherry, Camu Camu Berry, and Amla Berry that Paleovalley uses, but they sounded amazing so I was excited to try it.

Turns out, unripe Acerola Cherry is the most potent source of Vitamin C on the planet. Their Vitamin C content is 120 times higher than that in oranges. Crazy! Rich in Vitamin C, Camu Camu Berry aids your skin, gums, eyes, and immune system. It's even been shown to deliver mood-boosting properties - something that could be quite helpful in the colder darker months. Amla Berry has been used for thousands of years in herbal medicine to help support heart and brain function through its ability to detoxify the body and increase circulation.

Maybe my sister's onto something with Paleovalley.

The next week I was still thinking about Paleovalley. I just had to try their Essential C Complex for myself. The cost of 30 capsules starts at $23.99, which is $0.80 per serving if you buy in bulk or subscribe so it was really good value.

A few days later, it was delivered right to my door and I was taking it every morning. So simple, it has no taste or smell and is easy to swallow. To be honest, I felt no real change the first few weeks. But then about a month in I noticed a lift in my energy levels. Normally, at the end of summer, I'm wrecked and need to hibernate. But this year, I feel like I can take on anything.

My body's healthier and the effects of the pending winter haven't hit me. I've armed my body with what it needs to keep me at my best every day.

I feel great knowing I have my Paleovalley Vitamin C Complex to boost my immune system and my overall health.
