My Magazine Sharing New Year, New You

Thanks to My Magazine Sharing network and Kroger, I got the chance to try a bunch of products for free! (#freesample #ad)

Picture of the free samples and sharing coupons

Here are my thoughts on the products included.

Nature Made® Multi Adult Gummies, 2 ct. - I'm vegetarian, so I can't take gummy vitamins because of the gelatin. My husband tried them. He thought they tasted good and had a nice texture.

Osteo Bi-Flex® Ease, 7 ct. - As a vegetarian, I shouldn't have tried this, but I have horrible knees and wanted to give it a shot. The product prominently advertises that it "Shows Improved Joint Comfort within 7 days!" with a whole bunch of caveats. I used it for the full 7 days of the sample. I didn't notice any difference or improvement. Maybe it would work if I took it longer, but I'm not sure I'm willing to try.

Sensodyne® Rapid Relief Mint Toothpaste - To be 100% honest, I've tried this product before and actually have a full-sized tube in my bathroom. I like it a lot. I'm not sure it works quite as well as the sensitivity toothpastes with potassium nitrate, but it definitely works better than regular toothpaste with the other form of fluoride.

16 Day Trial of Metamucil® - I have not tried this and have not found a willing volunteer. I eat plenty of fiber in my diet and am also recovering from a round of strong antibiotics, so I'm not willing to add more fiber into my system right now.

ChapStick® Total Hydration Lip Balm - This is a good product. Works well, feels nice, okay flavor. I'm not sure that it's that big of an improvement over other products out there. Yes, better than regular ChapStick, but very similar to other brands of lip balm.

One A Day® Nature’s Medley Multivitamin - Again, I'm a vegetarian and don't do gummy vitamins. My husband tried them. He thought the flavor was lacking and that they were too tough to chew. (I appreciate that they have less sugar than you typical gummy vitamin.) I gave the rest of the sample to a friend to try. She says they are fine but nothing special as far as she can tell.

Listerine® Ready! Tabs™, 8 ct. - This is a fun, convenient product. It works really well. It's a bit odd the first time you use it, but once you know what to expect, it's nice. Great to have in your purse or car or wherever for some last-minute freshness. Overall, some good products and a couple that I will purchase in the future. Thanks, My Magazine Sharing Network!
