Sustainable Westford is partnering with MyLifeAdvantage to provide a resource for natural supplements.
Got Stress? There’s a Solution. NRF2 Activation!
Everyone knows that oxidation and inflammation are at the root cause of most chronic health issues. Protandim is a patented, science-based formula comprised of natural plant ingredients, that has been researched, tested and validated by renowned universities and institutions. It is the only supplement proven in a clinical study to reduce oxidative stress in humans by an average of 40% in 30 days.
Nrf2, a protein messenger that binds itself to DNA, is the master regulator of the body’s aging process and is critical in the fight against oxidation and inflammation. Protandim is a natural NRF2 enhancer. It activates, or turns on, genes that are essential for free radical and oxidative stress protection. It turns on the body’s antioxidant defense system by activating hundreds of these NRF2 genes.
Sustainable Westford is partnering with Cradles to Crayons to provide a recycling resource for local families who wish to put their children’s gently used items to good use.   Cradles to Crayons will be at the Westford Farmers Market  collecting gently used clothes, shoes, books, and toys. The organization is especially in need of new hats and gloves to prepare for the winter season. They will be at every market until the end of the season!
Cradles to Crayons is a Boston nonprofit organization that provides children from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations, with the essential items such as clothes, school supplies, books, and shoes.  •  Remember to clean out your basement and closets and bring it to the market!
