We are well into 2025 and many people have made resolutions to get healthy this year. Along with a solid exercise routine, you may want to review your vitamin stack. If you think a good diet is enough to get the vitamins and minerals you need, we wish that were the case. Today’s farming practices and chemicals make it hard to absorb the nutrients you need. (1) Many of us are lacking when it comes to the proper vitamins to keep us healthy.
If you’ve had labs and your doctor has reviewed them and said everything is good, but you see that you’re on the lower end of normal, that may mean you are nutrient-deficient. Most labs simply show a range and statistical mean for what is considered low and normal. What if that random number isn’t normal for you? (2) Another way to look at this is what if normal isn’t optimal? In this article, we will review some of the supplements we recommend for most people who want to be healthy all year long.
Now, when we talk about multivitamins, we aren’t referring to those you find at the local grocery store. When you read the ingredients, many products are low-quality and may even be dangerous. (3) Some of these may shock you, like lubricants and binding agents. What are these items doing in our vitamins?
If we’re honest, our diets aren’t perfect, no matter how hard we try. We live in a toxic environment with chemicals everywhere we look. A quality Multi-Min Daily supplement is like an insurance policy for overall wellness. It covers the bases to support your health with detoxification, antioxidant protection, and filling in some nutritional gaps.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in sources, like fish, other seafood, and flaxseeds. Many people don’t consume enough fish throughout the week to obtain the omega-3 fatty acids needed for health. (4)
Omega-3s are crucial for every cell in your body. These fatty acids are important for eyesight, brain function, immunity, energy, your cardiovascular system, inflammation, healthy blood pressure, and many other bodily processes.
The problem with some fish oil supplements is they may sit on the shelves for months or years and become rancid, meaning they do you no good. Our Omega Renew supplement has a balanced blend of EPA and DHA fatty acids that are sourced to be free of toxins, and they are carefully processed to avoid oxidation and rancidity.
For years we’ve been told to stay out of the sun and when we get some sunlight, to cover ourselves with sunscreen. Now we know that information was faulty and we need some sun exposure to get vitamin d3. Healthy vitamin D levels are critical for your immune system. During the winter months, many healthcare professionals tout the importance of the flu vaccine. According to the NIH, flu vaccines haven’t always been so effective. (5)
What should you do to boost immune function instead? What we recommend to our patients is the D3K2 supplement. When you take D3 with K2, it works synergistically carrying vitamin D to the places it needs to go, supporting cardiovascular health, immune function, and healthy bones.
If you’ve followed us for a while you know that your microbiome affects more than your digestion. Your gut health impacts your overall body. We know digestive issues can be extremely uncomfortable, but did you know your microbiome health affects things like inflammation and your nervous system? Many people are on all kinds of medications for anxiety and depression, but they don’t know that serotonin is also produced in the gut. Think about irritable bowel disease, Chohn’s, and even some cancers. Many of these are impacted by your gut health. (6)
If you’ve taken a probiotic in the past and you felt it didn’t make a difference, it matters where you found the supplement. Again, some of these products sit on shelves for months, and by the time you buy them, the strains are dead and not effective. Our Probiotic Strength has active strains that don’t require refrigeration like many other brands, due to the nitrogen-sealed blister packs. They are also resistant to your stomach acid so they can fortify the intestinal environment.
We don’t get the amounts of probiotics we need in our diets alone. Many of the foods are covered in pesticides and don’t have the healthy probiotics nature intended. Taking probiotics daily is one way to help keep your body healthy.
For the harsh winter months, you may need immune boosters to help you stay well and feel your best. A healthy immune system is your first line of defense against infections because it wards off dangerous pathogens, viruses, and bacteria. If your immune system isn’t at its best, it leaves you exposed to these foreign invaders.
Additionally, specific nutrients help build and maintain a healthy immune system. The Immune Essentials supplement has a combination of those targeted nutrients to provide you with an overall base of protection. It has ingredients like vitamin D3, zinc, NAC, Quercetin, vitamin C, and more.
The benefits of this formula include immune health promotion, supporting antioxidant activity, encouraging healthy respiratory function, detoxifying environmental toxins, and supporting cardiovascular health.
Sometimes the difference between you getting ill and not getting ill is the strength and nutrient density of your immune system.
There are a lot of websites and “influencers” out there trying to peddle all sorts of supplements that have junk ingredients at high prices. They are trying to get money and actually aren’t too concerned with your overall health and well-being.
We use evidence-based protocols with clinical doses to provide our patients with the best quality supplements available. It’s crucial to utilize bioavailable products that don’t contain unhealthy, dangerous ingredients.
We want to partner with you and be a collaborative support system so you can feel your best.
