Deep Dive: Sulfurzyme Supplements

We thought we’d follow up our mini NingXia Red series with a deep dive into another antioxidant-rich supplement, Sulfurzyme. Jaynelle Leek-Binns recently broke down the whats and whys of this daily supplement for our team and the info was too good not to share! Enjoy:)

Support everything from skin health to your immune system with this must-have daily supplement! 

Why Do We Need Dietary Sulfur?

Our bodies need a naturally occurring organic form of dietary sulfur (MSM) to maintain optimal health. Yep, sure does! Biologically, sulfur is one of the most important nutrients (4th most plentiful found in the body), and we need it to maintain youth, energy and much more.

As we get older, our cells become rigid, we get stiff joints and our energy starts to decline. Although sulfur is found naturally (in small amounts) in a lot of foods, it is destroyed in the cooking/heating process. If we are not getting enough sulfur in our foods, then it is time to supplement!

What is in Sulfurzyme Capsules?

MSM (methylsulfonylmrthane) aka sulfa

Supports the immune system, liver and proper circulation. It also helps to rid your body of free radicals. Think of MSM as like little ninjas cleaning up your body.

Need to Know: Sulfur… No, not the same as Sulfa pharmaceuticals. Sulfur, MSM or methylsulfonylmrthane is totally different. I am allergic to Sulfa drugs and have no problem with Sulfurzyme.

Wolfberries

The wolfberries (like we have in our Ningxia Red) also contains minerals and coenzymes that help our bodies metabolize the sulfur. This is important because you want your body to be able to absorb the MSM and put it to use.

Pro Tip: If you want to optimize the absorption of your sulfurzyme, take it with Ningxia Red. You can even add it to your NR, throw a splash of lime (or lime vitality) in it and it will be a really yummy treat!

Main Uses for Sulfurzyme

This daily supplement…

• Helps maintain the structure of proteins in the body (great for sensitive skin)
• Supports the immune, liver, circulatory and gastrointestinal systems
• Protects cells and cell membranes (keeps you youthful!)
• Supports healthy skin (clear skin and wrinkles) and hair (thicker and fuller)
• Activates/maintains enzymes in the body
• Naturally increases energy

Hope you enjoyed learning about Sulfurzyme! How many of you are ready to add it to your daily routine now?! Please send any questions our way!

NingXia Red Review Week 1: Know Your Ningxia

Last month, the Tree of Life leaders put a challenge out to the team: Take a daily shot of NingXia Red for 28 days. Why would anyone do that? Well, NingXia Red helps support overall health and energy levels. And drinking consistently helps boost those benefits even more.  

So we thought we'd review what we all learned from the challenge and spread the word on the awesome-ness that is NingXia Red on the blog, too.

For week one, we’ll start simple. Introduce three NingXia products: NingXia Red, NingXia Zyng and NingXia Nitro.

Know Your NingXia: Meet NingXia Red, NingXia Zyng and NingXia Nitro

NingXia Red

Serving Recommendation: Take a 2-oz shot up to twice daily

NingXia Red (or NR) packs an antioxidant punch with a Wolfberry superfruit puree, while pure essential oils add healthy flavor and benefit. The result is a delicious drink that supports overall wellness.

Top (of the morning) Tip: Add your morning shot of NR to your smoothie for a great start to the day.

NingXia Zyng

Serving Recommendation: Drink 1 can anytime you need a little pick-me-up

Swap the sugary drinks in your life for refreshing NingXia Zyng. This sparkling drink combines the same wolfberry superfruit puree as NR, plus pear and blackberry juices, and a hint of Lime and Black Pepper essential oils. It also delivers 35 mg of naturally occuring caffeine for the promised ‘Zyng.’

Fun Fact: One can only contains 35 calories. Translation: Guilt-free treat!

NingXia Nitro

Serving Recommendation: Drink directly from tube or add to your NR shot or 4-oz water.

NingXia Nitro also delivers a much-needed pick-me-up without the caffeine buzz. This supplement supports alertness and cognitive and physical fitness with essential oils, botanical extracts, D-Robse, Korean ginseng and green tea extract.

Winning Combination: Add Nitro to your Zyng to support energy and cognition

I loved the 2016 Young Living Grand Convention!! Each year they get better and better and this one was the best ever! I loved seeing so many friends I may never have known otherwise and it was wonderful to see so many of our YL team members! With over 22,000 in attendance it was definitely the largest convention in history! And I just received all of my new YL products today! Can hardly wait to try them!

Reach for Cool Azul Cream to relieve minor muscle and joint aches, arthritis, strains, bruises, and sprains without synthetic ingredients. This OTC formula alleviates pain with methyl salicylate found in Wintergreen and cools with Peppermint. 

Thieves cough drops support your immune system and address common cold symptoms with the power of Thieves Essential Oil blend. Fall sniffles, you've met your match. 

Tree of Life Member Cynthia Wilson Lengefeld Convention Takeaways 

YL Convention gives each person an opportunity to personally experience the integrity and heart of Gary Young, founder of YL. His passion and energy are contagious! Convention reminds me that I am part of a bigger mission and plan, and for me, that is highly encouraging. Friendships are deepened, strategies are discussed and ideas are formed. I always leave feeling refreshed, motivated and reminded that I, too, can achieve my goals and dreams!

Finally! The. Wait. Is. Over. You can dump your chemical laden dishwasher soaps for the cleansing and cleaning power of Thieves.

Much like the convention experience, Live Your Passion blend is joyful and sweet. 

We love this new blend! Diffuse or apply topically to take advantage of these 9 great ingredients: Orange, Royal Hawaiian™ Sandalwood, Nutmeg, Lime, Idaho Blue Spruce, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Ylang Ylang, Frankincense, and Peppermint. 

Gary Young Insights from Joyce Ann Smith-Swanson:

I agree with Cynthia. The highlight of each convention I have been to since 2012 is hearing from our founder, D. Gary Young. His passion, knowledge and sincerity is always so rewarding to see. He never stops wanting to 'heal' the world! His philanthropy mission is unbeatable! I always learn so much when he shares with us...and I always want him to talk longer each time! He blesses me with vision of how to help everyone around him! I have never seen a more giving person with ALL his resources! SO proud to be a part of this company!

Gloria Goolsbee on the YL Vision:

YL Convention is a wealth of information for anyone who attends, as well as an abundance of inspiration! No other gathering compares to the positive and uplifting speakers, especially from our founder D. Gary Young and our CEO Mary Young. And listening to Nikki Davis share about the Young Living Foundation always spurs on involvement into Young Living's vision!

 

11. Gary’s True Grit™ Einkorn Granola

Another delicious on-the-go snack! Packed with complex and simple carbs to keep you going all day (and no artificial sweeteners or preservatives to drag you down). 

Vegan. Vegetarian. Very yummy. Treat your family with a treat that you can feel good about! No overly processed ingredients here, just naturally sourced grains, nuts, berries, and seeds. 

12. Gary’s True Grit™ Einkorn Rotini

Einkorn pasta is easier to digest and just as delicious to eat. 

Known as one of the oldest varieties of wheat, einkorn’s natural genetic code and low gluten levels make it more compatible with the human body than modern, hybridized wheat. This makes einkorn grain easier to digest, so that nutrients are better absorbed. 

How the Convention Truly Motivates from Sunday Taylor:

YL is family. When you go to convention you get to meet and exchange ideas with amazing leaders in the organization. You will get to solidify your existing relationships within your upline. Words cannot describe the electricity in the air that you feel as you are all in a room learning from each other. It's a motivating factor to stretch and GROW YOUR PASSION for yourself, your business and your family. I am always humbled and grateful for the opportunities, experiences and knowledge that I gain at convention. I seem to come home to having a renewed fire burning in my soul.

13. Gary’s True Grit™ Wolfberry Crisp Bar

Chocolate-coated goodness? Pass the Gary’s True Grit™ Wolfberry Crisp Bars! 

Decadent chocolate meets satisfying nutrition in yet another grab-and-go snack from Young Living. These new Wolfberry Crisp Bars combine naturally sourced  quinoa, flax seeds, almonds, wolfberries, einkorn flour, and dark chocolate. Plus, it's a good source of protein with whey and pea protein crisp.

14. NingXia Zyng™

Quench your thirst for natural hydration with Ningxia Zyng. 

A refreshing update to Ningxia Zyng, this essential oil-infused drink has the same great taste, with a new label and price reduction!

Why the Convention is Magical According to Michelle McKool:

Being in a room with 20,000 people who love what you love, who yearn to be the best version of themselves, and who desire to surround themselves with other people who want the same, is...magical. The experience of learning, inspiration and encouragement is unique and beautiful. You don’t need to be a builder to benefit from convention, you just need to love Young Living Essential Oils and want a more abundant life.

15. Animal Scents® Dental Pet Chews

Your furry friends deserve oily goodness, too! 

These Animal Scents Dental Pet Chews support your dog's digestive and dental health. And just like Young Living's human snacks, these treats include only natural ingredients. 

16. The Essential Oil Bottle Organizer

Keep your oils organized and at-hand with this one-of-a-kind display system. 

We love this display system because you can customize it to your needs! Store 22 of your favorite oils in this convenient organizer. Try it in a drawer, cabinet or on display! 

Thoughts on Farm Day from Jeanene Shelton:

Farm day was absolutely euphoric. It was such an awesome experience to see just how much integrity is put into everything done with YL. It was awesome to meet new people that I've now created friendships with and helped me to ignite my passion with my team. I know that sounds weird for it being something from farm day but it was an amazing experience. I was honored to share that with our team.

16. Core Vitality Case

We award this one MVP for most versatile product! It's a pill organizer, Vitality™ essential oil holder, and accessory case all in one! 

The Core Vitality Case will help you organize your supplements and Vitality essential oils in style. It also makes creating your own dietary supplements a breeze with a pill stand.
