Thanks for checking that for me. In looking again today online and at my stash and re-order dates, I think I am going to switch to the Elite 100 with Omega 3 in September and then switch to the Elite 200 in April and buy the fish oil at the TS price.

I wil mapping it out with the TS calendar and my stock and I started to go around in circles. LOL

I definitely like the Elite profiles better than the HSN Complete Max, so I'm definitely switching to one of those in September.

I need to start writing down the safe upper limits in my spreadsheet. I keep looking them up every time I do a review but never write them down. I already list which ones raise and lower BP and which ones thin blood to be sure to not take them before doctor appointments or dentist appointments.

I should probably write down the pricing, too.

VaBelle, you're most welcome. I've been using Andrew's supplements for so long that I tend to do my own money calculations in my head.

I think the Elite 100 with Omega -3 is your very best bet until you really get a handle on everything. It's a great way to start. I couldn't believe how much more the H was charging for lesser products. I mean I know, but since I never shop there it's all out of site, out of mind.

When I starte using Andrews products there were fewer products and fewer TSVs, so it was easier for me to grow my vitamin requirements with him.

I think it's a grat idea to figure out what your upper pricing limit is, because that gives you a handle on where to spend your supplement dollars. And knowing which supplements have annual TSVs makes budgeting easier.

What I finally did was to write down the names of all the supplements I was interested in. Then I put listed their benefits (for me) next to each supplement. I also noted how important Andrew seemed to think each supplement was (e.g. COQ10, Vitamin D, and multi are super important). -- I kept going back to the list. Over time I started to understand what my priorities were and that helped me to make my buying decisions.

If it would be helpful to you, I'd be happy to list my order of importance for my supplements.

Okay I have unpacked my haul. Mercy!

First up, the 720 HHS&N + MC Bundle comes in a cute box. The is the first bundle I've bought that came all packaged like that. The other TS bundles I've purchased were just the separate bottles or possibly shrink wrapped together. Fancy! But I'm surprised he would waste packaging like that being the environmental conscious person that he is.

Anyway, I compared the old label I have (my original MC bottle from January of 30 servings) to the label on line and the label on the new bottle today and they are exactly the same.

However, the powder itself is definitely new. It is much more finely milled than the previous version, it is the finest, lightest powder (like makeup, if not even lighter) AND it's not sticky. I would get it on my fingers when digging into the bottle sometimes or pour some on the back of my hand when transferring it to the smaller bottle and I always had to wash it off because it was sticky. I got some on my hands and I was able to just brush it off.

I'm not doing a taste test or anything, I'm still sticking with my lemon water. It works for me.

I am going to take a shower and play with my new Origami shelves and I will be back to review the tea.

We will be having the Green Earl Grey tea this evening ;o)

My first thought was that the box was excess & unnecessary packaging. Then I realized it is a nice way to keep all three items, especially the tea, together. I'll recycle the box & containers later & I like the look.

I did not think to compare the powders. I will have to do that. I have been putting mine in coffee & never notice a taste at all so the "better" taste is lost on me.

I have not tried the tea yet.

Do tell about your Origami shelves! Which did you get? I am relatively new to Origami but I have a few nice pieces and plan to add more.

I did the side-by-side thingy.

I can switch to the Women's Elite 200 and drop Ultimate Eye, CoQ10 and lower my D3 and add in whatever fish oil amount I want.

It will probably be a little cheaper that way, but I haven't done the math yet.

I have not done the comparison in a long time. And I dropped multis in favor of specific products. It might be more economical to take one of his better multis. I used to use his Elite.

With my recent purchases, it probably is not the best time for me to make a switch but I'll check & do the math so I can figure the best time to do it.

I recall getting some help from ProCaps CS years ago & they told me the best multi to get and what other supplements I would be able to cut by getting it.

Bebe777, thank you so much for all that great info on Elite!

Ultimate Eye Support eliminated my night vision problems so that info alone is very important to me. I won't be without this supplement. I think I'd give up just about anything else first. It has made such a difference for me!

With all the changes they make to the products, adding this, removing that, I think I might give Procaps CS a call when I am thinking of ordering a multi. I do recall that I was using Elite with the Omega's. It sounds like he has more versions now than when I was using it.

Sure is a bit of work to determine the best ones for our needs, not to mention the most economical. Definitely worth it though. In my experience, anyway.

Wow! Thanks for the mention of the coupon. I tend to forget about those even though I use Mr. Rebates.

I am reading Andrew's blog about the TS for tonight. Trying to decide if I want to try the cranberry one.

No problem! I know I always appreciate it when I find out these things from others posting, so got to pay it forward!

I decided to try the Ultimate Friendly Flora but not the Cranberry. Never have taken a probiotic so I am curious to see how it does for me.

I will probably order just the FF, too. I have used it before but not actually on a longterm daily basis. I have used various brands of probiotics that way. Getting tired of buying a bottle once a month.

And I am sitting here drinking a probiotic drink! lol.. Saw them at the grocery store yesterday & could not resist trying a few.

Is the cranberry just for people who get infections? Still reading his blog. I probably don't need the cranberry.

willdob3 · ‎11-01-2010

I ordered the big FF and used the $10 off coupon. It worked! That is a great deal.

I am wondering about ordering another to get enough for a full year...but also wonder why he did not offer a bottle with enough for a year? Well, the coupon is only good one time so I can wait & decide tomorrow.
