*Consult a physician or dietitian before starting any supplements.
Supplements can never replace a healthy diet. They should be used as diet enhancers rather than replacements.
Here are 3 supplements I use and find worth it.
1.Omega 3 Fatty Acids - Fish oil
Benefits- Heart health, brain health, cancer risk reduction.
My Brand of Choice: NutraSea
+ Vitamin D, High EPA, DHA, Arthritis, Vegetarian
2. Protein powder
Benefits: Makes you feel full longer, helps build muscle tissue.
A protein powder can help with increased protein needs as you age, muscle building, weight loss.
My Brand of Choice: Prairie Naturals (They also have vegan options)
3. Vitamin D.
You get Vitamin D naturally through different sources the main one being the sun - so going into the fall and winter you want to make sure you are getting a bit of help from a supplement.
You also get vitamin D in your diet through milk products, oily fish, egg yolks, mushrooms and fortified foods.
Benefits: Maintain healthy bones, Mood boosting (reduce depression), can aid in weight loss.
My Brand of Choice: SISU 1000IU
