When Young Living launched one of its most exciting products, NingXia Nitro^™, founder and CEO D. Gary Young was confident of its success. Although he was entering an industry saturated with options, NingXia Nitro’s unique formula and health benefits fueled his confidence. By blending together pure essential oils and powerful cognitive enhancers, Gary created a product that supports mental acuity and enhances physical performance. These cognitive enhancers include not only well-known B vitamins, green tea extract, and ginseng; but they also include a proprietary Nitro Alert™ oil blend consisting of vanilla and chocolate oils, yerba mate, spearmint, peppermint, nutmeg, black pepper, wolfberry seed oil, and ribose.

What is ribose and why was it added? Ribose is a five-carbon sugar that is naturally produced in every cell and is the backbone of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a fundamental energy compound that drives nearly all chemical reactions in human cells. Although it is a sugar, it is metabolized differently than sucrose or glucose and is absorbed instantly into the bloodstream. Unlike other sugars, excess ribose isn’t converted into fat by the body; instead, it is saved for use in ATP energy production. This vital difference is key to the importance of supplementing; and doing so supports cellular energy levels, energy recovery, and energy reserves. It also supports healthy energy levels in the heart and muscles.

By utilizing Bioenergy Ribose, Young Living delivers ribose that is:

• Non-GMO
• Naturally occurring
• Kosher and Halal certified

If that isn’t enough to convince you of the power of this product, Bioenergy Ribose is currently part of the training regimens of many Olympic athletes. These athletes not only undergo extreme physical stress, but they are also limited to natural supplements and subjected to extensive testing. If ribose can help top athletes support their energy levels, just think of what it can do for you.

• I love that I did not feel jittery after drinking Nitro. It kept me evenly energized throughout the day. No ups and downs. Just a nice steady energy level. And no lag at the end of the day. Thank you YLEO

• I love the Ningxia Nitro both for muscle recovery after strength training and the mental clarity it gives me. I go from the moment I take it in the morning till late evening. It sharpens my mind and keeps me very focused and in the past that has been a challenge for me. The added energy is a plus as well. I have also had excellent feed back from my members that have tried the Ningxia Nitro. I was so excited about it I told everyone and have had all very positive feedback form those that have tried it. Awesome Product and one of my new favorites!!!!

In many households, a pet is a significant member of the family. Therefore, our pets’ health and well-being is a priority. Just like humans, our four-legged friends need proper hygiene, a healthy diet, and extra care when becoming ill. The health-supporting benefits of Young Living’s essential oils can considerably contribute to your pets’ quality of life.

The most effective and easiest way to keep your pet’s coat in tip-top condition is by using Animal Scents™ Shampoo. Imbued with the power of citronella, lavandin, lemon, geranium, and spikenard essential oils, our pet shampoo gently cleanses, protects, and conditions without harmful ingredients.

For those situations when your pet is contending with fleas, we have included a do-it-yourself  anti-flea spray recipe that will help you keep those pesky fleas far from your animal.

DIY ANTI-FLEA SPRAY

What you need:

16-oz. glass spray bottle (we recommend a dark amber glass spray bottle)

1 drop of Cedarwood essential oil   

1 drop of Thyme essential oil 

½ cup of V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex     

Directions:

Add ingredients into a glass spray bottle. Shake to combine. Lightly spray on your pet when needed.

Tips for Massaging Your Pets with Essential Oils

To enhance your grooming regimen and deepen your relationship with your pet, why not add a relaxing massage to your routine?

Follow these steps for the massage:

• Invite your pet to lie down.
• Start by stroking the areas you already know your pet enjoys.
• As your pet relaxes, start using long strokes. This will relax him/her even more.
• Once your pet stretches out, you know he/she is ready for the massage.
• If you would like to use V-6, then put a couple of drops on your fingertips.
• Begin with the head and with circular motions, gently work your fingertips over the entire body.
• Use small, soft movements with cats and small dogs and larger movements with bigger animals.
• The time invested is very insignificant to the pay off. With a cat or small dog, it will only take a couple of minutes. With larger breeds, it may take 10 minutes to finish the massage.

Once your pet is completely relaxed, it is a great time to brush or comb from head to tail. Just a few minutes a couple of times a week will not only keep your pet well-groomed and happy, but you will also recognize if any mood or physical changes need to be addressed with your vet.

When using Young Living products on your pets, remember size and physiology make them more sensitive to the effects of essential oils. Here is why:

• Most pets have a greater sense of smell
• Cats and small dogs have a low body weight
• Cats have thinner skin that allows essential oils to be easily and quickly absorbed in their bloodstream
• Cats’ livers do not function like humans or dogs. Bottom-line: less is better for a cat.

As with infants and toddlers, we advise care when administrating essential oils on your pets.

We would love to hear from you. Please share your experiences and ideas about the benefits of using essential animals on your pets.

Thieves Usage Tips from Young Living Facebook Fans:

“When traveling, I’ll spray a few puffs of Thieves Spray in front of the A/C unit, which allows Thieves to go through the filter and out. I also pull back the bed covers and spray the sheets. I also spray Thieves inside the pillow cases on both sides. In the public toilets, I’ll spray a few puffs over the toilet before sitting. I never travel without it.” —Pam J., Senior Star

“I use Thieves oil to freshen bed linens, pillows, and mattresses, clean the kitchen and bath, mop the floor, use it as an air freshener, flavor hot tea, use it as my deodorant, and use it to brush my teeth. The better question is: What can’t you use Thieves for?” —Kathy J., Star

“I am a flight attendant and use Thieves for travel. I moisten a cotton ball and stick it in the hotel vent. I spray down the room. I use it on the remote control. I clean the galley and serving trays with Thieves.” —Dorothy R., Star

“I tend to place a drop or two of Thieves in my trash can and laundry baskets for dirty clothes. I also enjoy just diffusing and breathing in the fresh air it exhibits.” —Danikah J., Distributor

“I put 8–10 drops of Thieves in a dark-colored glass spray bottle and filled it with water. I’ve labeled the bottle and keep it handy by my front entrance. I use it to take away the spring scented shoes and boots in my front porch closet. Ahhh! The best air freshener ever! Works GREAT! Thank you Young Living!”
—Robyn D., Distributor

“I love Thieves and use it for everything. I even spray Thieves on money! Everyone asks about the smell. It smells so good.” —Marion N., Distributor

• I’m using it now to help my sore throat by putting a few drops in my water bottle and I use it to clean floors, tubs, counter tops and more! I love it!

• My two friends and I used it when we got fever blisters. At first symptom (usually an itchy, tingling feeling) we applied Thieves and it stopped it in its tracks. Amazing stuff! No lip swelling or blisters if you catch it early. Everything else I used including prescriptions did not stop it early enough to halt the blisters and 7 days of healing. Thieves stopped it in 24 hours.

Peppermint essential oil has a strong, clean, and minty aroma. As one of the most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion, it may also restore digestive efficiency.*

The beneficial effects of Peppermint essential oil have been well documented by science. Jean Valnet, MD, studied peppermint’s supportive effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint’s role in improving taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint’s ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness. Alan Hirsch, MD, studied peppermint’s ability to directly affect the brain’s satiety center, which triggers a sensation of fullness after meals.

According to a recent study in The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, peppermint oil may have a positive effect on exercise performance. Read our news release to learn more about this study.

Peppermint can also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water. We suggest diluting this essential oil with Young Living’s V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex before topical application.

Peppermint Tips from Young Living:

• Rub one drop on the temples, forehead, over the sinuses (careful to avoid contact with your eyes), and on the back of the neck to relieve head pressure.*
• Place 2 drops on the tongue and rub another drop of oil under the nose to help improve concentration and alertness.
• Apply to the back of the neck and shoulders throughout the day to keep energy up.
• Diffuse or inhale mid-morning to curb the desire to snack.
• Inhale or rub a drop on your abdomen to soothe minor stomach discomfort.*
