By now everyone has heard the ever trendy word – ‘antioxidants’.  We have also heard all the benefits that antioxidants have.  Mainly antioxidants combat the free radicals that deteriorate our bodies.

Antioxidants are essential to build the immune system which is the main system in our body that fights disease.  You will find antioxidants in the infamous ‘acai berry’ as well as blueberries, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, strawberries, and the list goes on.

However, Enlyten has developed quite a unique method of inducing the powerful antioxidants that will fit in your pocket.  The product I am speaking about are Enlyten strips.  There are several products, but the one I will be focusing on here is the antioxidant strips.

The main reason this concept is very interesting is because of the delivery of the product.  The Enlyten strips dissolve on your tongue, the ingredients are absorbed through the buccal mucosa (between the cheek and gum) and the GI tract.  The absorption of this product is very rapid mainly because of the mucosa’s involvement.  There are many products on the market today but all are ingested and must be absorbed by the GI tract alone.

I was very curious when I received this product.  My family eats very healthy and nutritious food, but we are always open to interesting yet nutritious products.  As a parent, I was interested in getting the reaction of my children after they tried the strips for the first time.

The antioxidant are berry flavored and actually have a tartness to them.  The best way I can describe them are to a ’sweet tart’ candy, only more nutritious, of course.  The strips contain zero carbohydrates, zero sugar and zero calories.  The strips were very well received in my household which is a plus in our home.  My children like many out there are very picky and of course will not take any type of medication, so ingesting this product was a welcoming treat.

I was very impressed with this product.  No juices to ingest or berries to eat, one to three strips is all that is needed to ingest antioxidants into your system.

The only thing I would have liked to know was the amount of antioxidant we were ingesting with each strip.  I am sure Enlyten will add those values soon and if not they should consider doing so.

Besides that minor element I enjoyed the product and appreciate the opportunity to review.  You can visit the following site to view the other products available.
