Rethinking New Year Resolutions!

Getting Healthy in 2022 May Require a Change in Attitude

It probably won't be surprising to know that 80% of New Year's resolutions fail within the first year. In fact, most people report failing their resolution by January 12th. So, if you're struggling to keep your New Year's Resolution or worried about choosing a resolution and failing to keep it, you're not alone. But a change in mindset can help keep your goals more manageable.

A good start may be asking yourself, what do you think 'being healthy' really means? I spoke to Drew DeOrsey, a Certified Holistic Health Coach who was voted Denver's #1 Fitness Coach on the keys to embracing good health and strategies for keeping health-related New Year's resolutions! Drew offers his inspiring, multi-faceted approach to optimum health, which includes incorporating mind, body, spirit, and community!

Are you confused about what's happening with the NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) issue?

You may have seen a lot of news lately about NAC. While the FDA took some regulatory action against a few companies making anti-hangover claims for this ingredient, there has been considerable "fogginess" as to whether this crucial amino-acid complex is "legal" for use in dietary supplements. As a quick background, N-acetyl-cysteine is a precursor for glutathione production in the body. It has been available as a single ingredient dietary supplement or an essential part of various formulas. NAC has been used safely by millions of people in the United States for over half a century. Our Reg'Activ® Formulas, Detox & Liver Health, and CardioWellness contain this beneficial ingredient to help boost glutathione production and support detoxification and cardiovascular health.

The dietary supplement and health food industry has urged the FDA to reconsider its ambiguous comments regarding the appropriateness of NAC as a dietary supplement ingredient. Unfortunately, those requests seem to have been lost to a large degree in rhetoric and unwillingness to review this ingredient's safety and long-term track record. The Council for Responsible Nutrition submitted a citizen's petition to the FDA, put "on hold." At the same time, the Natural Products Association has even taken legal action against the FDA for this reason.

Since we, at Essential Formulas, strongly support the continued inclusion of this ingredient in our products for the benefit of consumers, we urge you to contact your member of Congress about NAC -- please click here:
