Hello! Without sounding like I’m begging for attention or sympathy, I’ve been a bit poorly lately. I look and feel run down; I’ve had awful headaches and tiredness, my hair is falling out, my nails are snapping and my skin is full of congestion and painful spots. Don’t I just sound beautiful? The folk over at Viridian must have sensed my plight as they kindly sent me the following goodies to get myself feeling good again.
To get me back on my feet, Viridian sent me a bottle of their 100% Organic Beauty Oil, Ultimate Beauty Complex capsules and L-Theanine & Lemon Balm capsules.
100% Organic Beauty Oil – “A balanced rich source of 3:6:9 fatty acids including GLA. Contains a broad range of potent antioxidants including vitamin E (full spectrum of tocopherols and tocotrienols) and carotenoids including alpha-carotene, beta carotene and lutein. Essential fatty acids are required for the health and maintenance of cellular integrity and membrane fluidity”. My diet has been shocking lately, full of sugar, salt and processed foods, so it’s no surprise to me that my face is looking puffy, dull and feeling awful. I’m hoping this may give my skin a little boost to spur me on to start taking better care of it.
Ultimate Beauty Complex – “A synergistic combination of vitamins, minerals and plant-based phytonutrients for the maintenance of collagen integrity, supporting the underlying structures of healthy skin, hair and nails. Take daily alongside Viridian’s 100% Organic Ultimate Beauty Complex Oil for the ultimate in hair, skin and nails. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of healthy hair and skin. Iron can contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and supports the formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin. Iron also supports the normal functioning of the immune system. Selenium, an antioxidant mineral, contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails, protecting the cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C contributes to collagen formation for the optimum function of skin, as an antioxidant it also helps in the fight against ageing by free radical-induced oxidative stress. Vitamin C also increases iron absorption”. Wow! This was definitely something I needed. I thought this would have been a typical hair-skin-nails multivitamin but it seems to do so much more. I’m told that for best results it is to be taken with the 100% Organic Beauty Oil.
L-Theanine and Lemon Balm – “Reduces stress reactivity and induces a more relaxed mental state. They have been shown to benefit people suffering from symptoms such as feeling restless, anxious, tense, and nervous as well as difficulty sleeping, poor concentration and brain fog” . Once again, a product I need! I get myself into a bit of a state sometimes, especially around my time of the month (ha!). My awful diet doesn’t help either!
But what is this little challenge you speak of? Well, after reading the bottles carefully I have enough for about two weeks usage of all of the products together. I’m setting myself a challenge to put these products to the test for two weeks to see how I feel, and whether I see a difference. I know that usually you have to take supplements like these for about 4-6 weeks to see a difference, but as Viridian supplements are more “pure” and “active” than traditional vitamins, I think I may see results sooner than that… I hope so anyway! We shall see in two weeks time :)
I would love to hear of your experience with Viridian supplements and how you got on with them?

ツ – Viridian Supplements sent for trial and review.
I look forward to seeing how you get on with these. I have bad congested skin at the moment and my hair is fragile because of so much re-growth after a lot of it fell out last year. Stress is just the worst! xx
