As a nutritionist, I believe in getting nutrients primarily from food, but supplements can play a vital role in bridging nutritional gaps, especially in today’s fast-paced lifestyle. Here’s a look at the supplements I take daily and why they’re essential:
1. Omega 3, 6, 9
Why I take it: Omega fatty acids are essential for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. While Omega 3 and 6 are essential (meaning our body doesn’t produce them), Omega 9 supports better cholesterol balance. Together, they create a healthy balance of fats in the body.
2. Vitamin D
Why I take it: Known as the "sunshine vitamin," Vitamin D is crucial for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. Many of us, including me, don’t get enough sun exposure due to indoor lifestyles, leading to deficiency.
3. Magnesium
Why I take it: Magnesium is a powerhouse mineral that supports muscle relaxation, better sleep, energy production, and nerve function. It also helps alleviate cramps and contributes to heart health.
4. Vitamin C
Why I take it: Vitamin C is essential for immune support, skin health (collagen production), and fighting oxidative stress caused by free radicals. It’s also vital during stressful or seasonal changes to prevent illness.
5. Iron Supplements:
Why I take it: Iron is critical for energy production, healthy blood cells, and oxygen transport throughout the body. Women, in particular, are at higher risk of deficiency due to menstruation, which can lead to fatigue, hair loss, and low immunity.
Supplements complement your diet—they don’t replace it. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement, as individual needs vary.
With these four supplements, I feel balanced, energized, and better equipped to support both my health and my clients' wellness goals.
