Optimum Nutrition
Essential Amino
Energy powder
WE’VE BEEN carrying
Optimum Nutrition’s
Essential Amino
Energy powder since
2014, rotating flavors
such as grape, lemon-lime and watermelon.
One of the things we
love about Amino
Energy is that all of the
flavors taste great and
it’s really easy to mix.
Amino Energy is considered a pre-workout product, but it really can be
taken anytime. Several of us drink this
as a pick-me-up throughout the day
instead of coffee, regardless of whether
we work out or not.
The Café Series is the newest addition to the line, with a great taste that
should appeal to all palates. A two-scoop
serving of this new Café Series flavor
provides 100 mg of caffeine (about the
same as an 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee) from natural sources and in this case
one of those sources is Colombian coffee.
Each serving also has 5 grams of free-form amino acids for muscle support, and
zero sugar.
This is a nice alternative to an iced
coffee, at a much better price—less than
50 cents a serving—and with only 10
calories!
Amino Energy is available at
Costco in exclusive 62-serving tubs.

Oral-B Pro-Health
Cross Action Advanced
manual toothbrush
“DUAL ACTION” is an
appropriate term for
an item produced by
Oral-B and Costco and
sold exclusively at
Costco. This model is

since Costco and
Oral-B began their collaboration in 2010.
Tight spaces are
the easiest places for
plaque to build up and the toughest to
clean. The Oral-B Cross Action Advanced
manual toothbrush offers dual-action
waves of bristles that adjust to the con-
tours of your teeth, removing plaque and
whitening by removing surface stains.
Cross Action bristles are designed to
actively remove plaque between the
teeth and along the gum line. Power Tip
bristles are extra long to reach and clean
the hardest-to-reach teeth. The textured
tongue and cheek cleaner is located on
the back of the brush and helps remove
germs on your tongue to leave your
mouth feeling fresh. A new contoured
grip handle has been ergonomically
designed to fit easily into your hand and

ProNamel Gentle
Whitening toothpaste
ACID EROSION, also known as acid
wear, tooth erosion or enamel erosion,
can damage your tooth enamel—the
white, mineral-rich, protective outer layer
of your teeth. The acids in our everyday
diets can weaken enamel so that it’s easily worn away, and when it’s gone, it’s
gone for good.
ProNamel Gentle Whitening is the
No. 1 dentist-recommended brand for
protection against the effects of acid
erosion. In fact, it’s specially designed
to reharden acid-softened enamel.
And if you’re worried about missing
out on the benefits of your old toothpaste, you can relax. ProNamel Gentle
Whitening toothpaste contains fluoride
for cavity protection, and helps restore
natural whiteness. Item #863271. C
