My Favourite Supplements

I am constantly asked which supplements I personally use for myself and for my family. That is hard to answer because it varies greatly from day to day and even the season.

But without fail, here are the top ones that I use every single day:

Probiotic: Did you know that we are more bacterial cells than human cells? Your immune system strength begins in the digestive tract and the bacteria cannot be underestimated. Fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, kombuchu, kefir and yogurt are important for adding extra good bacteria into your colon. 

Cod Liver Oil: A good quality cod liver oil is very important. It is full of vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids. There are many studies showing how they can be a good anti-inflammatory as well as supply extra Vitamin D and Vitamin A. 

Lemon Essential Oil: The studies on essential oils are amazing, and I choose to start my mornings by adding one drop of therapeutic grade essential oil to a glass of lukewarm water. I would never use a subpar essential oil as they can be extremely dangerous. (This is the company that I use: www.youngliving.com) Adding lemon to your water in the morning can stimulate your digestion and liver. It is also a good way to add extra Vitamin C into your diet. It can also stimulate your brain in the same way that coffee can. If you're choosing to ditch the coffee, this might be a good alternative. 

If you have any questions about the brands of supplements or essential oils that I use, please feel free to comment or send me an email. If you are unsure of taking a supplement, please consult with your health care provider.
