Giveaway Swellness: Centrum Flavour Burst prize pack

The only vitamins and supplements I seem to manage to take regularly? Chewable ones. And if they taste like candy, pretty much never miss taking it daily.

Like Centrum Flavour Burst chews, which are now available in Canada. They taste a lot like a certain “taste the rainbow!” candy — yummy! And they have no gelatin, but most importantly they contain vitamins A, E, C, B6, B12, D, Biotin,  folic acid, zinc and more. And while I think you should focus on getting your vitamins and minerals from real foods, it’s good to have a backup to ensure you’re meeting the requirements your body needs.

And for one lucky Health & Swellness reader, you can win a great healthy prize pack! The prize is worth $150 and includes:

• three bottles of Centrum Flavour Burst® Adult
• one LeSportsac tote bag
• one BKR water bottle
• one Lululemon hair band

(I’m kinda jealous, to be honest, as I could use all of these goodies!)

There are four ways to enter (note: this is open to Canadian residents only) – enter all four ways to increase your chances of winning:

1. Email your name, mailing address, email and phone number to healthandswellness@gmail.com. Please put Centrum in the subject line.

4. Like the Health and Swellness page on Facebook and comment on the Centrum wall post about your favourite fruit.

You have until 11:59PM on Monday, July 8, 2013, to enter. The winner will be chosen at random, notified by me so I can arrange getting the prize to you, and announced on Health & Swellness.

Should you be getting your vitamins through VitaminWater?

South of the border, there’s a consumer group causing a commotion over the VitaminWater’s health claims.

And in answer to the question above, no, you should be getting your vitamins through a balanced diet–but you already know that, my Health & Swellness readers, right?

Sure, I drink VitaminWater from time to time. I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a big water drinker (still working on picking up that habit again), but VitaminWater is flavourful enough to satisfy me. From the many dietitians I’ve interviewed and past articles I’ve written, I know this drink is providing me with vitamins I am probably not deficient in–along with extra calories that plain old water wouldn’t. But I don’t guzzle it regularly as my source of vitamins (I’m making veggie-filled meals for that), and the occasional one I do have is fewer calories than a soft drink I might otherwise drink.
