The MedCenter System is a life-changer.
We all know how much better we function when we don't skip our supplements -- or for that matter, our Prozac.
Taken regularly, vitamins and other nutritional supplements can make us calmer and more alert, our nails less brittle, our PMS less dramatic -- we can even pee more easily. Ah, but the tricky word here is regularly. With all the things you have to do in the morning, who can remember to take all those pills? And some supplements work best when taken more than once in a day. Yeah, like you're gonna remember twice, or even three times a day.
Ohhhh, but you will.
This review marks a rare occasion at Just A Sec -- the honoring of a product with the Sec-Tacular Seal!
Regular readers of Just A Sec know that few products or services get the Sec-Tacular Seal designation -- only the ones that knock our socks off -- the absolute can't-misses and must-haves.
The MedCenter System is truly Sec-Tacular!
Here's how it works.
You organize your pills into their own daily pill box, which has the date marked on both ends. There are four individual compartments in each box, so you can store up to four separate doses in a single day.
Since the MedCenter System gives you 31 individual pill boxes, you can sort your pills for an entire month in advance. We loved this feature, because ordinary seven-day pill organizers force you to re-sort your pills every week -- what a drag!
Next, there's the talking alarm. Your organizer comes with a digital alarm clock which shows date, time, and day of the week. It can be programmed to remind you to take your pills up to four times a day.
For example, if you never want to forget to take your vitamins before work, you might program the talking alarm for 6:00 AM, when a cheerful voice will say, "Good morning! Please take your morning pills for the 15th," followed by a series of beeps. The alarm is loud enough to hear in another room, and there's an "extra loud" setting which can be heard from an entirely separate floor of the house.
The alarm will repeat itself several times, then become silent for several minutes before trying again. To let the alarm know you've taken your pills (in other words, to shut it up), press the "Alarm Acknowledged" button.
The happy pill lady will never let you forget to take those drugs or vitamins -- which adds up to a healthier lifestyle for you.
If you have a supplement that needs to be taken in the morning and evening, you might program a separate alarm to go off at 8:00 PM. (Remember, you can program up to four alarms per day.)
The talking alarm is portable, so you can take it with you to work to remind you to take an afternoon pill. Just lift the clock off the organizer base and pop it in your bag.
The main organizer base has a platform where you can set the current day's pill box. There's also a slot for each pill box for the month. One end of each pill box is red, the other green; this comes in handy in a number of ways. If you need to know when you're officially done with your pills for the day, you can flip the box over in the organizer so its red end is showing. Boxes showing green-end-up would still contain pills to take.
However, one of our volunteer testers used this color-coding feature differently. When filling the boxes for the month, she didn't always have all the pills she needed. She turned all the full boxes over to show green, indicating they were complete. A box showing red meant there were still some pills missing. This way, she knew visually when the "full days" were coming to an end and she needed to get to the vitamin store.
Two secretaries gave the MedCenter System a test drive. Both of these secretaries -- Laura and Barbara -- reported having trouble remembering to take supplements.
"This thing really kicked me in the butt," Laura said. "I took my vitamins more regularly than I ever did before. There's just no way to forget. Especially in the evening with my fish oil pills. Even at times when I was doing better with the vitamins, I could never remember to take those fish oil pills at night, too. I swear, I took them every single night with this thing. I heard the lady's voice out in the kitchen and I went out there and I took them! I've been so good!"
"I love this thing," Barbara told us. "I take medication too and not always, but once in a while I forget. I couldn't forget anything with (the MedCenter System)."
Barbara added, "I have an elderly mother and I'm going to get one of these for her. It's great for older people who have trouble remembering, especially when they have so many pills to take for this and that."
The MedCenter System can make a concrete, immediate difference in your health and wellbeing, and for that reason, it's well worth the $69.95 price tag. Get yours at MedCenter Systems.
