***edited to add that the contest has been extended through end of day Friday 4/6. Hero Nutritionals Diabetic Multi Vitamins and Vitamin D can be found in Brooklyn at BALANCE LIFE (5th Ave between 17th & 18th)
TODAY is the last day that I’ll be raffling off a gift basket that contains both adult and children’s versions of the multi-vitamins and Vitamin D produced by Hero Nutritionals.

You may enter the raffle for the basket, which contains the products listed above plus a cute little bear, on my Facebook page.

- Yummi Bears (children’s line) Sugar Free Vitamin D3 (1,000 IU) (allergen free)
- Slice of Life Sugar Free Vitamin D3 (2,000 IU) (allergen free)
- Slice of Life Diabetic Health ( an adult gummy vitamin to support diabetic health that is also allergen free)
