Wanna know what supplements I take?

Have you ever thought that you could erase the weekend shenanigans if you were at least taking your daily vitamins and minerals? While taking the recommended dose of high quality supplements can only help you, it is important to take them with a healthy and balanced diet. Vitamins and minerals only fill in the gaps of your diet, but they cannot replace complete nutrition from the foods you eat.

For dinner, I had a tofu scramble (complete protein) with wild rice (fiber and healthy carbs) on top of a yummy selection of different organic veggies and grains: orange bell peppers, baby carrots, sprouted peas, sprouted sunflower seeds, sprouted kamut, mini tomatoes, sugar snap peas, and flaxseed meal. I dressed the dish with balsamic vinegar and added a dash of white truffle sea salt from Dean and Deluca. My dinner consisted of healthy and low glycemic carbohydrates, complete protein, and healthy fats with a wide variety of vitamins and minerals in just one bowl. I still take supplements to cover all my bases. Here they are:

WellBetX Daily Packets for Glucose Balance: I take a packet morning and night. In each packet there are 7 pills: 2 Complete Multis for Glucose Balance tablets (packed with tons of vitamins and minerals), 1 WellBetX RxOmega-3 Factors + GLA softgel (formulated with a fish oil blend and Gamma Linolenic Acid), 1 Vitamin E 400 IU softgel, 2 Glucose Balance Herbal Formula tablets (a nice blend of herbs), and 1 Alpha-Lipoic Acid capsule (an antioxidant which supports the cellular uptake of glucose).

Symbiotics Colostrum Plus capsules: On an empty stomach, I take 2 in the morning and 2 at night to support the health of my GI tract and strengthen my immune system.

NeoCell Collagen + C tablets (a complex structural protein): I take 3 in the morning and 3 at night for maintenance of the strength and flexibility of skin, ligaments, bones, joints, muscles, tendons, gums, teeth, eyes, blood vessels, nails, and hair. We lose collagen as we age, so I am taking this now instead of waiting until I really need it!

CENSOR BODY TONER Omega 3-6-9 Natural Oils Blend: I take 2 capsules with meals twice a day to support healthy metabolization of fat.

Isagenix Natural Accelerator: I take one in the morning and one at night to support my metabolism. It is completely natural and without Ma-huang or ephedrine ingredients.

I sometimes go through cycles with supplements. For example, I will take a certain supplement for a couple months and then take a break from it so my body doesn't get too used to it. I go through cycles with the Colostrum all the time. I have taken certain herbs or supplements for too long before and then I feel like they almost stop working. I started taking the Daily Packets about 3 years ago and stopped taking them for a few months to see if I would feel differently. I actually did notice a slight difference in the way I felt and even saw a change in the elasticity of my hair. I began taking the Daily Packets again and also started taking the Collagen tablets simultaneously. So far, so good!

Great Strategy!

This is very good planning on your part. I like the way that you mix it up. Just as it's a good idea to change our workout routines every now and then, it's equally important to modify the supplement schedule.
