There are so many supplements to take out there, just about any store you go into has different variations of items and there are even stores devoted to just supplements.
My goal here is to educate you on some of different supplements out there and if you want to take it what to look for!
Probiotic - gut health, if you were born via Cesarean and/or were not beast fed you need to be on a probiotic, probiotics also help with allergies and sickness. Look for a supplement with multiple strains.
Fish Oil - Helps with just about everything! Heart, cardiovascular system, joints, hair/skin/nails, brain/memory and fat burning just to name a few. Aim for 2g of deep sardine fish oil per day, make sure there is a mixture of EPA and DHA fatty acids.
Protein - Our bodies need 30% or more of our diet per day to come from protein. It helps with building lean muscle, energy and satiety. Look for few ingredients, ingredients you understand and can pronounce, whey or soy isolates are great and wont contain the cholesterol blends do.
B - Gives you energy! Try taking some B vitamins in the morning instead of your cup of coffee. Look for a good mixture of B6 and B12.
Magnesium - Most Americans are deficient in magnesium. It help with muscle rebuilding and recovery, and it also helps our bodies calm down and rest. A good Cal/Mag supplement is best for good absorption.
Chromium - Helps with blood sugar metabolism and digestion of carbohydrates. All diabetics should be on chromium along with other things, most good multivitamins contain chromium.
D - Essential for bone health, energy and also been shown to help with most autoimmune disorders and cancers. You get some from the sun but as soon as you shower it rinses off. Even most southern states are populated with Vitamin D deficient kids and adults. My daughter has been taking vitamin D since she was 1 week old.
Multivitamin - A good multivitamin will be 3rd party tested, capsule form and contain a lot of the above things! You do get what you pay for, so the $3.99 bottle at Target will not be adsorbed as well as the $30.00 online.
