Supplements you should be familiar with
10 Supplements I love (PART 1)
As a coach I get asked about supplements by a lot of my members. What's a good multi vitamin, probiotic, pre- workouts, etc. While I can't technically tell people what they should or shouldn't take I thought I would just compile a list of my personal favorites.
All of us are different. Some us of have thyroid issues, hormone imbalances including adrenal issues, autoimmune diseases, and much much more. So what I like and might take, you might end up hating or not needing.
10. L- lysine :
Stress. It has a funny way of messing with us.
"L-lysine is an essential amino acid found in spinach, soybeans, lentils, eggs, and cheese among other foods. L-lysine works to reduce stress and contributes to proper growth, development, and overall bone health. Since l-lysine is not produced by the body itself, it’s important to ensure proper supplementation. L-lysine deficiency can result in dizziness, fatigue, and abdominal discomfort.
Benefits

• Plays essential role in production of carnitine

9. B-complex (methylated)
From mood to metabolism to fertility to ferritin.
Your B12 and Folate levels should be something you're familiar with.
The MTHFR genetic defect affects more than 40% of the population.
What are "methylated" B vitamins? While I won't get too informative in this post, I will redirect you to to a site that goes in depth in regards to the MTHFR defect.
