“Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.”~ Buddha
Leading a healthy life style can be confusing. Health often seems elusive. We suffer from information overload when it comes to nutrition and how to apply it to our lives. The quote above sums it up for me, health is something that we live daily. The wait and see approach or don’t fix it until it is broken philosophy does nothing for living a healthy life. Why wait until your blood glucose levels indicate diabetes to address blood sugar issues. Wouldn’t it be more prudent to look at trends and prevent the disease in the first place?
This is one of the reasons we recommend testing to know what your health issues are. Lab tests are invaluable in determining where to make corrections on the road to good health. Many of our clients are already aware that at OVitaminPro.com we are able to offer many affordable lab tests. We can order comprehensive blood tests, adrenal and neurotransmitter testing as well as DNA specific tests for gluten sensitivity. We also don’t charge to review and analyze each individual’s lab results or with our health recommendations!
Sharing our experiences can help others on their journey to better health. We would love to hear how vitamins and supplements have contributed to your health. Tell us your story. What changed your life?
Share with us your story in 200 words or less and you will be eligible for our grand prize; a Neuro-Adrenal Lab Test worth $350.00 dollars! This lab test by NeuroScience tests for cortisol times four, DHEA and 11 different neurotransmitters.
Here is a short testimonial from one of our clients and the Neuro-Adrenal test:
After lab testing, I began the neurotransmitter support products and almost immediately experienced a feeling of well being, calm and focus that I hadn’t felt in a long time! Wow! I felt good again. I lost the weight, got my mental focus back, no more stress and never did need to get my hormones checked. I understand now that unless your adrenals are balanced, it is almost impossible to balance any other hormones.
I have been taking the recommended products faithfully now for a little over a year and can’t imagine life without them. It’s great to be 53 years old and feeling better than I ever have!

This month we are featuring Kavinace. It has just been released in a larger count bottle of 120. Kavinace is one of our best sleep products! It is also a great product for GABA support.

I have ADD and now that I’m 57, find myself more brain-challenged than ever. I gave up on Adderall, Strattera and Dexedrine because I didn’t like the side effects (constipation, sleeplessness) and am not a fan of prescription drugs. I know my brain needs help but the products I’ve tried over the years just haven’t worked.
I buy from OVitamin whenever I can because I find them to be a nicer, more helpful, better run company than others I’ve dealt with. The product lines they carry are really good quality. I also appreciate the free shipping.
Being 57 and having ADD definitely makes me neurotransmitter-aware. I’m not a fan of ADD prescription drugs. They have side effects and their longer term impact isn’t yet known.

I started on the Neurotransmitter products in 2006. Lyme disease completely unbalanced my brain chemistry to the point I couldn’t spell anymore or do a math problem. If you asked me how spell something it wouldn’t even register that I knew what to do. My cortisol was off the charts and my hormones were so messed up I couldn’t eat any kind of food that turned into sugar without severe reactions. After the Lyme my sleep went from being a sound sleeper to not sleeping for more than a few hours and feeling wired all the time. After, the first year on the product I could sleep better, I started to be able to know and spell words again. By the end of the second year I could do math and actually remember what I was talking about 5 minutes ago. By the third year I was sleeping 8 hours a night and my serotonin level was in the normal range!
I have found the best natural product for the brain and I’d never go off them or change them.
My daughter was tested and she needed seritonen support and for ADD. She is more focused and sleeps better than ever before. She is 19, so everyone should be tested and start on these wonderful products.
About two years ago, my doctor told me that my vitamin D level was very low. The normal range is 30-100 (ng/mL), mine is 9 only. She told me to take over the counter vitamin D for 3 months and re-test. However, after 3 months, my vitamin D level is the same. So I went to see a chiropractor, he suggested me to take the Apex Ultra-D Complex (K-35). After a year, i re-test my vitamin D, my level went up to 30.
OVitaminPro and Neuroscience have been the main driving force in helping me get off antidepressants. Before the birth of my 2nd child, I started taking them and was told I would have to take them most likely indefinitely. I didn’t want that for me or my family.
Neuroscience has wonderful products..I have used many and have experienced health benefits. I am no longer taking the antidepressants. I feel better than I have in years. OVitaminPro has directed me to the products that would best suit my needs. Daxitrol from Neuroscience has been a big one. After struggling with food cravings and energy slumps for years, I noticed an immediate reduction in food cravings (I’d say by 80%) AND much more energy.
I have really appreciated OVitaminPro’s friendly and timely customer service. Not having a large budget for the supplements, they have really helped me fine tune to get what can help me the most.
I am looking forward to raising my children and loving my husband and family better! Thanks.
I had been to several doctors to try to understand my metabolic problems. As a result, I was put on Metformin but saw very little change in my symptoms of low energy, mental fog, insomnia, hair loss etc. I have recently learned about Adrenal Fatigue and how the Adrenal glands support every bodily system! I have taken Adaptocrin for 1 month now and am amazed at having more energy and clarity at work ( I am a Nurse), and my hair loss has slowed way down, and I fall asleep easily and STAY asleep all night. I had suffered from restless energy in the night. My weight has maintained with normal eating whereas before I would gain so easily. My sister, who is also taking Adaptocrin, has lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks by utilizing simple healthier diet habits when dieting alone never allowed her to loose.
I look forward to seeing more changes in the coming months with these adrenal support supplements!
My lab test showed high levels of cortisol. that is why I had been waking and 3 AM every day and could not go back to sleep. After statring the supplements the test recommended I felt bettter immediately. My fsleep was better. My focus and attention were better. I was not short tempered anymore. I felt wonderful!! I feel like these test gave me a new life. My daughter also was tested and the results guided by supplements have made a huge difference in her life. Being a teen is hard, add in neurotransmitter problems and life was not fun with her. she is back to her self, enjoying being a teen!
I have benefited tremendously using the products from OVitamin Pro for the last three years.
Very recently I did neuro-adrenal testing through Neuroscience and followed their recommendations for supplements. I have learned that brain chemistry is a science and Neuroscience specializes in that testing. I’m glad I didn’t try to supplement without testing and I was surprised to learn that mainly amino acids are used to normalize imbalances. It’s possible to improve the health of the brain and adrenal glands without drugs and side effects!
My adrenal gland function was in a downward spiral for a long time but I didn’t recognize it. Adrenal fatigue was causing severe low blood sugar issues (“bottoming out”), consistent cravings, subsequent weight gain, horrible sleep, hormonal issues and debilitating fatigue. After testing, I received expert and prompt advice through some initial “tweaking” of supplements.
A cascade of positive changes happened very quickly and a variety of problems are resolving themselves. I haven’t felt this much energy, ambition, and mental clarity in years. My sleep is deep and refreshing and my days seem easy and productive. I feel “normal” and much younger. (I’m 53.) I wish I’d done this years ago!
