Care Of Vitamins | Health

A couple weeks ago I posted on Instagram (@allisonhunt_2) about setting weekly goals for myself that involve, not only self care, but also non work creative outlets that will also help with my mental health by doing something for myself that I love doing. It's a lot so I'll save that for another blog, but week one I wanted to make some health changes by (1) drinking more water and (2) actually taking proper vitamins. That is where Care Of comes in.

I've seen so many influencers talk about Care Of, but never actually got on their site to see how cool it really is! I'm super picky about vitamins, which means I rarely take them and then my body starts to shut down.. Okay not really, but I do feel sluggish a lot!

See the thing is a lot of past vitamins wether they were just normal "women" vitamins, prenatal (when I was pregnant), or even hair skin & nails most of the time they made me sick.. Like unbearably sick for the rest of the day. Hence why I stop taking them every time.. I had to take my prenatals at night when I was about to fall asleep so I could sleep off the sickness. It's terrible! It happens every single time with so many different brands I have tried. Before I continue, let me also add that I would take them with food and not on an empty stomach.. Still made me sick.

So I was cautious going into a plan with Care Of. The other struggle I have is not knowing what all vitamins I should even be taking. That is one department that Care Of makes super easy. When setting up your account with them you take a quiz on a few questions about your health and areas where you may want an extra boost in. After those for each that you "needed" you then have to answer more detailed questions about them. For example: Skin type. Where I would choose "combo-to-dry" and "acne prone." Super simple and easy to get through questions. It was a fast ordeal.

Although they do break it down for you.. I was still a little overwhelmed when I got my results of 8 different vitamins.. I'm not sure I even feel comfortable taking 8 different at the same time. So I decided to go with my most concerned picks. Like my stress and energy. Definitely need a boost in that.

I choose to pick 3 that would get me going in the right direction. I was very pleased with the turn around time and shipping. Every order over $20 is free shipping + you get a 30 days worth at a time. So this is a once a month occurrence that you can stop at any time or switch it up every few months. That is my plan since the other vitamins I held off on stay saved on my account I can switch things up when need be.

In your monthly box you have a booklet that shows you your plan and the box of your individual vitamin packs. My first thought was how convenient, but also how wasteful.. Then I read how the packs are made from plant-based ingredients so you can throw them in your compost! How awesome is that?

While this may sound like a sponsored post, I can assure you it isn't. I was just super stoked to find something so convenient that could help me get a kick start on my vitamin intake. Plus with the three I have chosen I have taken them all with food (again I took my past vitamins with food as well) and haven't gotten sick once! I can't say too much about the Probiotic blend or B complex because they're for gut health and I feel I haven't taken them long enough just yet, but the other Rhodiola is recommended for low-energy and feeling drained after a stressful day. I've seen a major difference. Don't get me wrong, I've been working nonstop hours lately so I'm usually exhausted, but if I was juggling everything I am now over a month ago before starting these I don't think I could've made it. So for my second month I picked to keep that one, my probiotic blend, and I'm adding magnesium to the bunch.

I'm super impressed and if you've been skipping on your vitamins there is no year more important to take them than 2020. Haha.

Again, not sponsored, but I do have a referral link if you want to try it out yourself and save 50% off your first order! Just order HERE.

I can't wait to see how well it works for you! xo
