and Isabelle's afternoons outside in the yard are numbered. November rain storms are rolling-in, along with another hectic holiday season. How can it already be Thanksgiving?

With seasonal changes in weather and the busyness of holidays, comes the likeliness of colds and flu. Keep yourself rested, hydrated and taking a good daily multi-vitamin. Peak Nutrients™ offers all the vitamins and minerals you need to stay healthy in our Replenish formula, and the Viva Energy drinks, available at New Seasons and Food Front stores in the Portland area, or by calling us directly 1-877-686-7325.

Take a lesson from our girl Izzy and remember to enjoy the wonders of nature and the quiet moments between things.

Check-out their websites and consider being involved in future events.

Summer is quickly slipping away

2010-08-27T11:10:00.000-07:00

Where did it go? Summer vacations are wrapping-up, sadly, as we fold our tents, shake out our beach blankets and step into September.

Prepare for the seasonal shift with a daily boost of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes from Peak. Our Viva energy drink comes in orange mango tango and my favorite, very berry. Viva berry drink in the afternoon gets me to the end of my work day without that coffee buzz-and-crash.

Look for Viva energy at New Seasons and Food Front stores in Portland or contact us directly! oh, and don't forget the benefits of a good night's sleep (we've got something for that too, stay tuned).

It's that time of year again for the fantastically awesome Buckman Arts Focus Elementary School fundraising auction! It will be held this Friday, Feb. 6th, at the Melody Ballroom located at 615 SE Alder Street, Portland, OR.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this wonderful, early childhood education establishment--Buckman Arts Focus Elementary School is part of the Portland Public Schools district. In addition to providing students with grade appropriate academia, the schools' art specialists, teachers, support staff and volunteers use a multiple-intelligence approach to education (as developed by Howard Gardner). They work with students' linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, body-kinetic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences.

Poor immune response linked to lack of sleep

2009-01-16T14:08:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR from all of us here at Peak Nutrients !

Just thought we'd kick off a healthy 2009 on the PN Blog and share this article from the NY Times which reports that lack of sleep is linked with a lower immune response:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/14/health/13sleep.html

Here's an excerpt:

"People who got less than seven hours of sleep a night were almost three times more likely than those who slept eight hours or more to get sick after exposure to a cold virus, a new study has found.

Adults who spent a lot of time in bed tossing and turning were even more vulnerable, the researchers reported."

The good news is that Peak Nutrients can help:

LUNA SLEEP formula settles the central nervous system and enhances mental calmness, effectively promoting faster sleep with reduced night awakenings. LUNA SLEEP naturally provides a more restful, refreshing and deeper sleep.

Here's a few reasons why LUNA SLEEP works:

Valerian root enhances the release of certain neurotransmitters that promote sleep and relaxation.

5-HTP (hydroxytryptophan) increases serotonin levels, facilitating sleep and supporting positive mood.

Hops, Passion flower, Yuan zhi and Jujube contain nervine and sedative acting constituents, which promote relaxation.

LUNA SLEEP is drug-free and is not habit-forming.

Take care of yourselves and rest easy in 2009!

Congrats Team Shake & Bake

2008-08-18T11:25:00.000-07:00

Apparently we like using the word "woah" (since it seems to appear in the last two posts), so we won't use that word here, we'll just say it's been a while since we posted. Things get busy around here. Wanted to send a big "Congratulations" to Team Shake & Bake's Dax Massey and Dean Miller for taking first place in the Men's Single Speed Duo Divison at the 24 Hour Mountain Bike National Title in Wasau, WI on August 4th. It's great to see you out there!

It's Spring-almost!

2008-03-18T15:31:00.000-07:00

Whoa. It's amazing how quickly time flies. It's already March and we have been a bit negligent in our blogging responsibilities. Things are busy around here and all of our products are now in stores around the Portland area, including New Seasons Market, Food Front and Lamb's. ViVa energy was also included in the New Products section of the March issue of Vitamin Retailer.

We'll be at Food Front in NW Portland tomorrow, Wednesday March 19 from 11-1, to sample our products and get to know the good people of Food Front and their customers.

Check out the cart!

2008-01-18T14:17:00.000-08:00

Whoa! haven't posted in a while. Lots going on around here, and can barely keep up with the blogging. We've seen quite a bit of activity on our website in the last week. With our new shopping cart, getting peak product is easier than ever! Also saw an ultra immune sighting at New Seasons Market this week! Hurray, we're getting out there.

Happy New Year!!

2008-01-04T19:27:00.000-08:00

Welcome 2008! It's finally here, and we're ready. Lots going on at peak in the first couple of days of the year. Look: ViVa energy has been reviewed. This is very exciting. We really appreciate that you like our products and are so glad that the Viva energy is doing it's job. Thank you! Also, look for our cold, cough, and flu formula, ultra immune, in Portland area New Seasons Market stores in the next week. Keep you posted on more goings on as we hear them.

Oh and Ho, Ho, Ho from Jez

Don't Follow Leaders, Watch the Parking Meters

2007-12-19T15:19:00.000-08:00

I don't know why, but I have "Subterranean Homesick Blues" whirling around in my head today. Just wanted to wish everyone happy and healthy holidays from peak nutrients. Enjoy the Egg Nog and your supplements, of course. See you in the new year.

We're coming to you live...

2007-12-12T12:42:00.000-08:00

Yay! We've finally launched our website, so all of our supplements can be thoroughly shopped and purchased online. Thanks again to our web dudes for all of the whack a mole. Our fingers are crossed that everything will be glitch free and running smoothly. This means that we'll be able to move on to all of the other PR, ad, and fun stuff, we've been working on for a while. We'll keep everyone posted on stores as they come up, and on any other goodies too.

look at our pretty new packaging

2007-12-05T09:55:00.000-08:00

Thought we'd add a pic to show our new packaging--because it's just so darn gorgeous. Love that luna sleep bottle and the ViVa energy is oh, so nice.

Whew! We're almost there...

2007-12-04T11:52:00.000-08:00

After several months of writing, designing, manufacturing, packaging, discussing, admiring, and more discussing, we're about to launch our new and improved product line. Our website is in the final phases of testing, thanks to our webmasters and all of their ironing (I'm sure that this is not the techy word they would use) out of problems, so that folks can purchase online. Yippee! You should be able to find ViVa energy, luna sleep, digest plus, and the rest of the gang in stores soon, but if you don't find them within the next couple of months, you can buy directly from us. Can't wait...
