If you know me, you know that I've struggle with hair loss for a long time. It's been a mental and emotional battle, but I've come to love my hair and my wigs. #SelfLove am I right ladies? I want to go back to where it all began. It started when I lost 80 pounds, and my hair fell out like crazy. After a while, it started to grow back, and then I got pregnant with Olive. I lost more hair at that point and after I had her, it started to grow back. It didn't get too bad until I had Henry. I started to lose mass amounts of hair, and I lost even more after I started nursing Henry. 

I've tried it all. I've tried Hair, Skin, and Nails. I've tried hair extensions. I've tried all the things! It wasn't until lately that I've been making my "super" drink and I've seen great improvements in my hair and overall health. I drink this every night, and I love love love it. 

Super Silica is crazy for you. It helps increase bone density, improves calcium management in the body, boosts collagen formation for elasticity & flexibility, strengthens heart & arteries, and replaces the silica that is refined out of today's food supply. This also gives me so much energy!

Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a super probiotic! It supports a healthy balance of intestinal flora, has 10 billion live cells, and it's gluten free & vegetarian. It's a liquid probiotic made with organic apple juice concentrate & strawberry puree and it tastes not too bad.

WebMD describes Vitamin C as, "Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues. It's involved in many body functions, including formation of collagen, absorption of iron, the immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth."

Liquid Iron is a tasty and fast absorbing supplement helps optimize iron levels, reduce symptoms of fatigue, and restores energy levels. I don't love having meat with every meal, so adding this to my morning drink helps fill the iron gap in my diet. It's super convenient and you can't taste it that much in the drink.  

Once again, magnesium is a vitamin that we don't always consume enough of in our daily diet. Magnesium is necessary for maintaining balanced functioning of the brain and nervous system and this particular supplement helps with stress as well (and I need all the help I can with stress relief haha!). I usually take the orange flavor, but the raspberry-lemon flavor looks super yummy!

So there you have it, my super drink! I drink this everyday and I've seen a drastic improvement with my hair as well as my overall health. Let me know if you try it out and make sure to follow our Instagram @oliveaveboutique for more health tips and tricks!
