Improve your supplements in 2018 with these 5 essentials!
If you ‘ve been training a while, you already know about the benefits of basic supplements like whey protein , fish oils and vitamin D .
But what about lesser-known supplements that can help you burn more calories, train harder, and even build more muscle?
Let’s take a look at some of our supplements:
Digestive health appears to be in the headlines in 2018, with more research emerging on the links between gut health and the brain. Healthy digestion means that your body will be able to absorb more nutrients from food and digest your protein and carbohydrates more easily. Complete Probiotic is an exclusive formulation with the exact amounts of each ingredient clearly listed, so you know exactly what is entering your body.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT?
Complete Probiotic has 5 strains of probiotics and nearly 8 billion CFUs (the measure used to quantify bacteria useful in probiotics), plus digestive enzymes.
TRY IT IF:
– You are abusing and eating a lot of food
– Do you ever experience bloating or digestive discomfort
– You want to optimize your intestinal health
This is a new supplement with a long history in ancient cultures, where it has always been used with medicinal approaches. Research suggests that this antioxidant has antiviral properties and may help us recover from training, as well as support for good long-term joint health.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT?
The Cissus plant is commonly known as Veld Grape, and it contains plant sterols called ketosterones which are the active ingredient. Our Cissus supplement is so recent that you will receive it 30 days after it has been harvested in India.
TRY IT IF:
– Joint health is a constant concern
– You want to promote general well-being
– You would like to recover better from training
3) RESVERATROL
Another interesting antioxidant with extensive research behind it, resveratrol is a natural vegetable that can help protect the body from harm. Resveratrol is a natural plant antioxidant found in red grapes, peanuts, betties, and Japanese Knotweed root.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT?
The most important thing to keep in mind in a resveratrol supplement is purity and dosage, and ours is 99% guaranteed trans-resveratrol (the active ingredient).
TRY IT IF:
– You want to reduce inflammation
– You are interested in plant antioxidants
– You want to boost overall general wellness
Cinnamon is already a fan favorite of fitness, so how about adding the pure extract to your stack of supplements this year?
Cinnamon extract has high levels of terpenoids (much more concentrated than regular cinnamon powder) and our cinnamon extract is a market leading ratio of 30: 1.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT?
100% Cinnamon Bark Extract Powder in an extract ratio of 30: 1.
TRY IT IF:
– You like cinnamon
– You want to experiment with adding the powder to your smoothies, shakes, cooking or oatmeal
– You want a natural way to balance and regulate blood sugar levels
