Supplements are a hot topic for sure. As a whole, most “fat burners” and things like that are just over-hyped (and priced) snake-oil pills.
However, I do take certain supplements every day because quite frankly, while not totally necessary, taking the right ones will help your body run most efficiently and enhance your results.
So today I wanted to answer a question I get asked all the time…
“What supplements do you personally take?“
#1 Supplement I Take
A multi-vitamin.
Okay, I’ll confess, I LOVED my gummy vitamins. Until I learned how little I was actually getting from them ☹
Now I take a super high quality vitamin and eat a pack of no-sugar fruit snacks later if I need a gummy fix.
Here are the ones I’m taking now >>> MULTI VITAMIN, MINERAL & ANTIOXIDANT PLUS
#2 Supplement I Take
An Omega oil supplement is next on my list. It’s been shown that having a healthy balance of Omega 3 to 6 ratio will help bring down inflammation in your body (this happens when we have too much 6 and not enough 3).
I recently switched to a higher quality brand than the one I had been taking for year and I have noticed increased concentration and better recovery from my workouts with consistent use.
Plus, quality fish oils will prompt your body to store calories (energy) in your lean tissue vs your fat cells.
This is a supplement where cheaper is almost always not better. Many low-quality oils are rancid or contaminated with toxins (from the oil source)
This is the one I’m using now >> Omega Pure Plus
(and no fish burps!)
#3 Supplement I Take
If you like to hit it hard in your workouts, your joints can take a beating. While proper warm-ups and recovery methods are essential there are some supplements that can help.
When it comes to joint supplements I have never been a believer until I started to feel the difference for myself.
The one I now take every single day (am feeling amazing for it) is here:
#4 Supplement I Take
One supplement that I just added to my regime and am feeling the benefits of is a quality probiotic. Your gut is a huge part (70%) of your immune system. Keeping your gut full of healthy bacteria will help keep the sickies at bay. While it’s a great idea to get probiotics from natural sources like fermented foods, it’s also great to have a guaranteed dose of them every day.
Here is the one I use to supplement my whole food probiotics >>Previnex Probiotic
#5 Supplement I Take
Pretty much daily I use a protein shake to help me meet my protein needs for the day as well as to help me recover after an intense workout.
The new protein powder I recently switched to is so tasty that I actually also use it at night when I get a sweet tooth that I want to satisfy without eating sweets.
This is the best shake I’ve ever had and it’s vegan >> Nourify
Our health is the most precious thing we have. We usually only appreciate it when we no longer have good health. Don’t take it for granted.
While not 100% necessary, I am finding that I’m feeling better than ever and getting faster results with consistent use of these 5 supplements.
