June 2, 2015 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter

I spent Sunday morning in 42 degree wind and rain at my youngest daughter's LAX tourney. Then, I took my oldest daughter to the mall in the afternoon to find a dress for the school dance. I'm not sure which was worse or which has the longer recovery time, but I'm ready for some WARM June weather, sunshine, and outdoor fun! What about you??

Lactase Pro  - It's Time to Rethink Dairy!Because not all Lactase supplement products are created equal, Scimera BioScience has developed LactasePro, a triple function approach to addressing issues associated with lactose intolerance and dairy products.

 

LactasePro helps digest milk sugar (lactose) associated with dairy, promotes dairy/milk digestion, and provides Potent Probiotic strains to promote additional lactose digestion.

This product is all delivered in a vegetarian delayed release capsule to ensure maximal delivery and benefit. We are confident that this innovative approach to lactose and dairy intolerance will exceed all your expectations. It retails for 24.99, but for a limited time it is on sale for 19.99. It is more costly than other brands, but it works - money back guarantee. Stop by Canandaigua the Medicine Shoppe (66 West Ave) and purchase a box today.
