Supplements play an important role in filling the gap left by the nutrient deficient foods we consume on a daily basis.
What Supplements Should We Take Daily?
  1. Begin with a multivitamin to provide your minimal foundation set of nutrients. It should contain a broad spectrum of both macro and micro nutrients in a liquid format to provide maximum absorption by the body. The vitamins should be whole-food based and not synthetic.
  2. Adults should include a supplement with Vegan Glucosamine Hcl USP and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) to ensure optimal health for your joints and connective tissues.
  3. Take an antioxidant supplement to help your body control rampant chronic inflammation.
    (if possible find a supplement that includes the CoQ10 antioxidant)
  4. Taking a supplement with digestive enzymes with each meal to aid in digesting your food to get the most out of it is also recommended.
  5. Prebiotics (fiber - feeds good gut bacteria and slows digestion) and Probiotics (feeds your good gut bacteria)

Warning!
The supplement industry is filled with fly-by night operations that sell products that do not contain the nutrients that their labels say they contain. Walmart was even ordered to take its own brand of vitamins from their store shelves because their products not only did not contain the labeled ingredients, but in some cases had ingredients in them that could caused harm to the individuals taking them.

The Nutrition Education Center ensures that all products that they recommend have been third-party tested and certified as Organic, Vegan, GMO free, with no artificial preservatives. Additionally, the companies who supply the recommended supplements are highly respected with sound reputations.
