It takes lots of differ- ent things to make it work: vitamins, miner- als, amino acids, proteins, fats, etc. Why settle for products that have one or two "hero" ingredients? Instead, use MiraCell ® products that more closely match the com- plexity your body needs to thrive. Your customers will rave about Skin Re- lief & Support™.

Skin Relief is safe for all ages and won't burn or sting – a true miracle for your skin! "Personally, I carry a bottle of Skin Relief in my pocket whereever I go. It's one of my 'must have' pocket contents. I use it for all kinds of skin irritations, scrapes, bumps, bruises. I also use it at night to keep my face moisturized and looking younger. It's the best skin product I've ever used," said J.S. Harris.

Moms, Babies and ChildLife Essentials Moms today have an extremely difficult time sifting through the maze and illusions that she, her baby and child must maneuver through in today's world. Every day the media is plastered with negatives about de- pleted soils, sugars, high fructose corn syrup, gluten, drugs, vaccines, pollution, GMOs, al- lergies, mosquitos and more. Parents just don't know what to make of all of it, or how to keep their children healthy despite all of the negatives. Fortunately, ChildLife Essentials has made the task a whole lot simpler. ChildLife Essentials Nutritional Supple- ments, formulated by leading Holistic Pedi- atrician Dr. Murray Clarke, has created 17 supplements that help support many of the challenges Mom and her children face on a daily basis. For example, the ChildLife Pre- natal DHA supports both the mom and baby during pregnancy and during breastfeeding on through their formative years. DHA is an ingredient that supports brain, eye, neuropathways and other development in babies and children. It is critical for moms and babies during pregnancy and the child's developing years. ChildLife has produced a pure, clean pre- natal DHA – 500mg per "1" soft gel. The less moms have to swallow, the better for her. ChildLife Essentials also formulated ChildLife Organic D3 for babies and infants. The American Academy of Pedi- atrics suggests 400iu daily for babies from day one. The Academy conducted a study and found seven out of 10 kids were deficient in vitamin D. This issue was so significant that the academy immediately made its recom- mended suggestions. ChildLife Essentials has many other unique formulas that address children's needs, from Liquid Calcium with Magne- sium, which supports a strong foundation, to First Defense Immune formula to supporting gut health with ChildLife Essentials Probiotics with Colostrum. ChildLife Essentials is launching its newest product, Organic Gripe Water, for babies in October. Dr. Clarke has been in practice for over 23 years and has a children's clinic in California. ChildLife Essentials is sold nationwide through independent health food stores and health related websites. For more information, go to www.childlife.net or stop by booth #5831.
