I prefer always to use food rather than supplements to get the body back into balance but there are times when a helping hand is needed and supplements used.
Always speak to a healthcare provider before taking any supplements, to ensure that you actually need them and that they will not have a detrimental effect on you.
I have some favourites and have put just a few below
Food vs Supplements
Magnesium
the anti stress mineral
Nutri Advanced MegaMag Muscleze:
Whether you are training hard for an endurance sports event or having a very stressful time, MegaMax Muscleze is fabulous. Mix it into water, has an orange flavour and is easily digestable.
£29.75
Coconut Oil
a cooking revolution
Viridian 100% Organic Raw Coconut Oil:
Coconut oil is great for roasting, frying, and baking and Viridian's Coconut Oil is the best I have tried and it is simply delicious spread onto oat cakes or crackers.
Also coconut oil can be used a deep conditioner for the hair, can be used as a moisturiser on dry skin and can even be used for oil pulling for healthy gums!
£15.00 - 500g
Fish Oils:
the essential fatty acids
Eskimo Extra:
Fish oils have been linked with cardiovascular health, brain function and healthy vision and Nutri's Eskimo Extra are one of the best around, a fish oil made from the flesh of the fish.
Eskimo Extra is a high potency fish oil supplement containing the important omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in their optimal concentration, a 3:2 ratio.
£24.74 - 50's
More than a Multivitamin
Terra Nova Life Drink:
Terra Nova have greated a multivitamin with protein, omegas, digestive enzymes, pro and pre biotics and more, all rolled into one amazing powder.
£27.25
Pro-biotics
Bio-Kult Advanced Probiotic Multi-strain Formula:
Probiotics are needed when the bacteria in your gut are imbalanced (stress, anti biotics, travelling to name a few causes) and you need to get the good bacteria numbers back up again.
My favourite is Bio-Kult, as it has a great range of multispecies, multistrain probiotic with 14 strains of beneficial bacteria. Added to that, they don't need to be refridgerated.
£8.99 - 30's
Better You
Magnesium oil spray
Magnesium Oil:
Magnesium is depleted during exercise and this great spray from Better You is perfect for after a long workout or when your muscles are tired, stiff and sore.
Applied directly to the body Magnesium Oil Original spray delivers this essential mineral directly into the skin tissue, efficiently replacing magnesium faster than traditional oral supplementation.
Just spray on and wait for the tingling to begin.
