In the package I found 2 of each of the following: Chamomile (retails $10.99 US) Natural Slim (retails $10.49 US) ...

--  Quote of the Day --  “ Conscious living means being aware why we think as we do and how our thoughts shape our actions. It concerns of being self-aware that aspects of human psychology that makes us vulnerable to advertising and the media. …Albert Einstein once said that human beings are part of a whole called the universe– he who experiences himself …as something separate of the rest is a kind of delusion, a kind of prison, that restricts us to our personal desires and our task is to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. …I’ve been really involved in environmental issues and have been hopeful that I could raise awareness. …When you continually try to have an effect on society, and do things that you believe are for the good for everyone and you don’t see any effect it can be depressing or frustrating.

However after reading information sent by my contact Dan Adams (Marketing Manager), I learned that fish harvested from certain areas do not have as much exposure to toxins and pollutants. According to Dan, the Wiley's Finest Wild Alaskan Fish Oil brand is a little over one year old, the company is a family run facility based in OH, US; they are expanding both their online and wholesale presence, and they offer both soft gels and liquid products for customers.   It is a little known fact that only a small portion of the wo...
