I don’t know about you but I feel like I have tried ALL the supplements over the years! GNC, several MLM companies, Amazon, the health food store, the drug store. I have purchased them anywhere and everywhere. With the same results. No results. Or at least none that I could feel or see.
Then, in 2017, I was introduced to doTERRA. When I first became a customer, I thought doTERRA only carried essential oils. I had no idea they had spa products, skin care products and supplements. And I definitely had no idea that the supplements, specifically, the Lifelong Vitality Pack, was the company’s #1 best selling product. When I found out, I HAD to try them.
I had been using the essential oils for about 6 months when I was introduced to the supplements. I added the Lifelong Vitality 3-pk (LLV) to my next order and when they came in the mail, I couldn’t wait to try them. A 30-day money back guarantee if not fully satisfied– no risk– it was a no brainer! I started taking the 3-pack on November 1, 2017. When I started, I had been suffering with Plantar Fasciitis for nearly a year and a half. It started when I was pregnant with my second child and I assumed it would go away after birth. Before I knew it, I had a 13 month old and I still had plantar fasciitis. By 3 pm every day I could barely walk, much less chase after a 13 month old and a 4 year old. Not to mention, I was still carrying extra weight from my pregnancy a year earlier. I was tired, had brain fog, and my energy levels were so low. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I made a commitment to myself to take the supplements daily. About 3 weeks later, as I was playing with my children, I realized that the pain was gone. I thought maybe it was just a one time thing. The next day, it was the same. And again and again. It has now been just over 3 years since I started taking the supplements and the Plantar Fasciitis has NEVER returned. My energy levels skyrocketed. The brain fog, or mom brain as I like to call it, went away. And after a month of taking LLV, I got on the scale and I lost 10lbs!!
Needless to say, I didn’t get my money back. Over the next 6 months, I began to add other supplements into my routine. doTERRA offers around 25 supplements plus a kids line. I have tried ALL of them but 2 over the past three years. I take 5 on a daily basis and several others as needed or if I am doing a special wellness program to target specific issues.

This is our energy and stamina complex. I use this daily for an extra dose of energy. As a 40-something mom of two young children, I need all of the help that I can get! I take it every morning and in the afternoon if I experience an energy slump.

When I have time to make my own video I will add it to this post. In the meantime, you can watch a demonstration video here!
PB ASSIST
This is our probiotic defense formula. I have taken probiotics from several companies and this is by far my favorite. The one of a kind time-release, double-capsule delivery system ensures that the sensitive probiotic cultures make it through the stomach acid to the intestines where they are needed to support our digestive and immune systems.
Your gastrointestinal (GI) tract is approximately 25 feet long and is responsible for digesting and absorbing the nutrients in the foods you eat, while also helping eliminate waste products from your body. Beyond these important functions, your GI tract, particularly the intestines, also performs very important immune functions in the body. A healthy intestinal tract is critical for optimal digestive function and immune system support.
Primary Benefits
- Promotes a positive balance and proliferation of beneficial bacteria*
- Maintains healthy intestinal microflora balance*
- Supports healthy functioning of the digestive and immune systems*
- Supports the health of the GI tract, particularly the intestines and colon*
- Helps support optimal metabolism and absorption of food*
GX ASSIST
This is the GI Cleansing formula that is meant to be taken in conjunction with PB Assist.
Having a healthy digestive system affects all facets of the body. When the digestive system is not functioning at its best, there can be a negative effect on every other function of the body. The combination of very powerful essential oils and caprylic acid helps cleanse the digestive system, which helps all other functions of the body perform at their maximum potential.*
Primary Benefits
- First step in an essential oil digestive maintenance program*
- Supports a healthy digestive environment*
- A proprietary blend of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils and caprylic acid that provides a natural (and gentle) cleanse for a healthy digestive system*
