Top 5 Supplements Everyone Should Take
People ask me all the time about what supplements they should take. Without lab work to back it up, this is a tough question to answer exactly because we’re all different. We have different genetics, we eat different foods, we have different activity levels, and we live in different areas of the country.
But after looking back at all of the people that I’ve worked with, I can say that there are five supplements that I commonly recommend. Regardless of whether they had a thyroid condition, an autoimmune disease, diabetes, digestive problems, or are just looking to improve overall health...for more than 90% of them the following five supplements were needed. On top of that, they’re the same supplements I use myself!
Vitamin D
D3 Liquid from Metagenics is the best Vitamin D on the market as far as I’m concerned. Low Vitamin D is a common problem for millions of Americans (even if they’re supplementing), but I’ve seen this product repeatedly boost low levels well beyond what was thought possible in just a short period of time. What makes it the best option for everyone is two things: it works and it’s inexpensive.
Fish Oil
Another great product from Metagenics is their fish oil. I like this one because it doesn’t have the fishy aftertaste that so many others do...it actually has a citrus flavor. I also like that it comes from a sustainably sourced, cold-water fish that gives you the essential fatty acids that you need to lower inflammation and prevent chronic disease.
Magnesium
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the human body. It’s used in hundreds of reactions, and without it you can have digestive problems, low energy, sleeplessness, be “stressed out”, and even have restless legs. The difference it makes for so many people is huge and people that are deficient in this crucial nutrient typically notice improvement with just a week or two.
Probiotic
A healthy digestive system requires lots of good bacteria in your gut. But one of the biggest mistakes I see people make is using dairy-based foods and supplements for support. This may help in time, but it’s not the most effective option. For best results, plant-based probiotics are a better choice.
Multivitamin
PrimalMulti is a comprehensive once-daily supplement for both men and women that provides vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients for antioxidant, cellular health and eye function. It’s a great all-around “insurance policy” for when your diet isn’t perfect.
