Supplement Essentials- by a certified nutrition coach

Being a busy mom and entrepreneur, I know how hard it can be to stay healthy and energized. Here is a list of some supplements I have incorporated into my diet that stand out for their incredible benefits.

See the List Below:

Ceylon Cinnamon

Known as “true cinnamon,” Ceylon cinnamon is packed with antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties. Unlike its counterpart, Cassia cinnamon, Ceylon has lower levels of coumarin, making it safer for regular consumption. It’s great for regulating blood sugar levels and improving heart health. Try adding a sprinkle to your morning coffee or smoothie for a delicious and healthful boost.

Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in your body. It’s vital for muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and protein synthesis. Magnesium also helps to alleviate muscle cramps and improve sleep quality. If you’re feeling stressed or struggling with sleep, a magnesium supplement might be just what you need. Since adding this into my diet, I have seen a huge improvement in being able to sleep through the night.

Protein Powder

Protein is crucial for muscle repair and growth, and it can also help you feel fuller for longer. Whether you’re an athlete or just looking to maintain a balanced diet, you can use a high-quality protein powder. It is a convenient way to meet your daily protein needs. I love using protein powder in smoothies, baking, and even in our morning oatmeal.

Blue Spirulina

Blue spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that’s rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It’s known for its vibrant blue color. It has potent health benefits, including boosting the immune system. It also improves gut health and provides anti-inflammatory effects. We use this in multiple products at our juice bar. Add a scoop to your smoothies or juices for a colorful and nutritious upgrade.

Himalayan Salt

Himalayan salt is not just for seasoning your food; it’s also packed with essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium. These minerals can help balance your body’s pH levels, improve hydration, and support metabolic function. Use Himalayan salt in your cooking, or dissolve it in water to create a mineral-rich drink. I mix it in with my morning Greens to kick start the day and replenish electrolytes.

Collagen Powder

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies. It is essential for maintaining skin elasticity, joint health, and strong hair and nails. As we age, our collagen production decreases, making supplementation beneficial. Collagen powder is easy to incorporate into your diet; mix it into your coffee, tea, or smoothies to support your body from the inside out. Since adding collagen into my diet, I have noticed improvements in my skin and joints.

Vitamin B-12

As a celiac, I have to be very careful of B-12 deficiencies. Vitamin B-12 is crucial for energy production, brain health, and DNA synthesis. It’s particularly important for vegetarians and vegans, as it’s primarily found in animal products. A B-12 supplement can help prevent deficiency, improve mood, and boost cognitive function. Look for B-12 in the form of methylcobalamin for better absorption and effectiveness.

Bovine Colostrum

I recently added this into my diet and have seen huge benefits in boosting my immune system. I take it once a day mixed into a cold beverage like a smoothie or juice. If I feel like my kids are sick or I am getting sick, I will increase our daily dose to up to 3 times a day.

And MORE!

Incorporating these supplements into your daily routine can help you achieve optimal health and well-being. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications. Stay healthy and vibrant with our favorite picks for a better you!
