Dads Deserve to be Healthy with @AdultEssentials #Giveaway

The men in our lives deserve to be as healthy as they can be and Adult Essentials can help them do that!

My husband is a big snacker -- what man isn't? Still a big kid at heart with his love for gummy bears and gummy worms.
As much as he tries to eat well (thank God for wives!) and exercise (he takes Mixed Martial Arts classes and goes for walks & yoga with me as often as we can), I'm constantly concerned about his health and that he's getting the right vitamins. He is my big kid after all. :)

My husband works very hard, mentally & physically he does get exhausted and I notice it.
On top of being the sole provider of our household right now, he also helps me tremendously around the house (housework and with my daughter) and many, many other things that slowly gnaw at his health.

And I have to admit - he's not a big fan of vitamins. He has this thing about having to swallow them and also just the issue of remembering to take them daily.

I was so happy to have been introduced to Adult Essentials/Iron Kids Gummy Vitamins at the Shes Connected Conference last year.  They not only provide the essential nutrients your body needs but they taste like real gummies! My picky toddler instantly loved them and it's the only vitamins she will honestly take but my concern was... will this work on my husband?  Sure he loves his gummies, but will they taste good enough for him to remember to take them everyday?

I was given the opportunity to receive these delicious vitamins for that special man in our life and see what he had to say about it, because after all Dads deserve to be healthy too, right?

Instead of telling him they were vitamins, I just handed it to him saying, "Yum! Try these!" 
He took them without question and chewed at it as if enjoying your typical candy.
"Yeah, they are. What kind of gummies are they?" 
I handed him the box and was he ever impressed.  He was actually enthusiastic about it. He's been looking for some good new vitamins to take and after the countless times I've mentioned Adult Essentials!, he finally is a believer.
"Will keep a bottle of Adult Essentials at home & in my office at work as a daily treat." 
Woo-hoo! Love that he looks at them as a daily treat (because they are!).
A healthy, guilt-free dose of yummy.

Vitamin D plays an important role in metabolism

Learned a great deal reading up on the benefits of these vitamins.
Interesting to learn that B-Complex (a vitamin I wasn't so aware of) helps to metabolize fats and promote healthy tissue formation as well as protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Also that it maintains cardiovascular health by helping transportation of oxygen. This is a great vitamin for men!

Calcium absorption - so important to maintain a strong frame!

Excellent sources of vitamin D are fatty fish and dairy products

This could help my 17 year old son with calcium absorbtion and vitamin D.

my husband could use these since his blood test showed his vitamin D was way to low

Jenn said...

My husband takes a lot of vitamins already, this would definately save me a bit of money :)
