Supplements I won't do without
12
items The vitamins, minerals and supplements I take regularly to help me stay healthy.
A good magnesium supplement is a non negotiable for me. I love the beauty pie one as its easy on my digestive system yet full of all the types of magnesium that I love.
If you arent taking magnesium yet, then you're probably not aware of what it helps your body do and the benefits it gives. Magnesium (chemical symbol Mg) is an essential cofactor for alot of enzyme reactions in the body. This means it helps the react...
improved sleep (take it at night for optimumu effects and look for Mg Glycinate or Mg Threonate in your ingredients list)
improved brain function
improved digestion (a little Magnesium citrate in the mix and help here although too much can lead to the runs)
reduction in muscle cramps
improved muscle performance
When looking for a magnesium supplement you may want to experiment with a fiew different ones until you find one that works for you.
Just DONT go for Magnesium Malate. Its pretty much useless.
The beauty pie magnesium is my favourite as it helps me sleep and keeps me regular. Which helsp with bloating!!
I only need to take 1 at bed time.

Dual-source Magnesium Capsules With Traacs ...
This is my 2nd favourite magnesium and the one my parents take.
My 86 year old dad hates taking pills but he tried them for a month about 3 years ago and they completely got rid of his night time leg cramps. So he now takes them every evening.
The mix of different magnesium salts in this supplement is excellent as it helps brain health and sleep. They are slightly gentler on the gut than the Beauty pie ones. For me this means that they dont hit the spot in keeping me regular unless I up th...
As always when taking a supplement, make sure it wont interact with any other medications you are taking. Check with your health care provider about whether its safe. THEN try different supplement brands for yourself to see which work for you.
Magnesium is so important for the body that you should notice a difference in a month or so. And if its going to play havoc with your gut you'll notice it the first night!

Magnesium Complex Supplement
Mito-surge is something I take to improve my energy.
This is NOT a stimulant like caffeine.
Inside all our cells are little organelles called mitochondria. These are commonly called the powerhouse of the cell. And that is because it is there job to create the molecule called ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) that is used as the fuel for all of ...
So what this does then, is help optimise 1 step in the pathway that creates your own internal energy molecules.
And I've added this to my supplement stack along with B vitamins which play a similar role at other points in the process.

MitoSurge Urolithin A Supplement
Nutrition geeks B vitamins are part of my daily routine to help in energy optimisation.
Rumour has it that Maggie Thatcher the British prime minister in the 1980's used to thrive on 4hrs sleep a night because she was getting regular super doses of Vitamin B12.
This brand is excellent quality and produces a range of targetted supplements to support health. More often than not they'll send you a years supply for the same cost as other brands charge for 1 month.

Vitamin B12 Dual Power
Next on my must have list of supplements is Iron. And the nutrition daily iron supplement is fantastic. Its really good value AND the tablet is tiny.
Trust me if you're feeling run down and lacking in energy and cant point to a specific reason why, the first thing to do is start taking a good quality iron supplement. Add in Vitamin B12 and 9 times out of 10 you'll notice an improvement in a week o...
Top tip - iron absorption is improved if you take it alongside a source of vitamin C - whether thats a piece of fruit, a drink of fruit juice, vitamin C rich vegetables or a supplement.

Iron Energy+ Tablets | Boost Energy & Immunity
I've been taking feel menopause supplement since I was in my late 40s and before I had ever had a hot flush.
At one point I ran out and didnt bother to renew the supplement as I didnt think it was doing anything for me.
About 2 weeks later the hot flashes started. And they increased brutally until I was waking up 7 times a night with waves of aggressive hot flashes. I quickly did 2 things - booked an appointment with my GP and reordered my feel menopause supplement.
The supplement came first, and within 2 weeks of restarting it, my hot flashes had dropped to 2-3x per night. And after taking it for a month they were no longer happening every night.
The NHS meanwhile had sent me for a hormone panel and 3 months later I started HRT. I simply cannot recommend HRT enough. It turns you back in to a functioning human being again from one that can barely remember their own name.
However, I still take the feel menopause. Its benefits are just too significant for me to stop.
If you're interested this link will get you a discount on the first month. Obviously as is the way of things I will get a discount too.
If you havent felt the benefits after taking regularly for a whole month, then I'd say not to bother buying more.
If this supplement is going to help you, then you will notice a difference in a month. If it doesnt help then dont take it for the sake of it.

Feel Menopause | Feel - Wellness, Reimagined
I think everyone has now heard of Omega 3 fatty acids and knows that they are good for brain health, skin and join health.
What you may also know is that most omega 3s on the market are derived from fish, and if you are one of the unlucky ones who find that fish oil capsules repeat on you disgustingly throughout the day, then these vegan Omega 3 supplements could be exac...
No fishy repetition.

I've been taking them for years.
If you want to try them then I have a code for a discount off your first order with feel. (Disclaimer: I get a discount if you use it too)

Feel Focus
A broad ranging multivitamin and mineral supplement should be taken by everyone.
And for those people who say that their grandparents didnt need it so why should they, I'd like to refer you to whats been happening over the past millenium and a little bit of logic:
We grow food - plants which get their minerals from the soil or meat / fish, which get their minerals from eating plants.
Since agriculture became the thing we do, we've been using the same 18inches of topsoil to grow our crops time and time again.
And this means that our soil is becoming mineral deficient, and therfore so is our food.
Now think about what proportion of your food is actually prepared by you vs the amount that comes out of a packet already having been processed by the food company.
Processed foods are lower in essential natural minerals than whole foods.
These are the reasons everyone should be taking a multivitamin.
I like this one.

Feel Multivitamin Subscription / Delivered Monthly
Lions mane is a giant fungus found in the woods. And its been found to have significant benefits for brain function.
I'm a business analyst and need my brain performing as best it can. And I went through a period with brain fog that was frightening for how bad my cognitive ability and concentration got.
This supplement is one that I started taking to help with that.
The tablets are small and easy to swallow. And the price point isnt good.
I wont stop taking these any time soon. Brain function is too important to play with.
New customers can get a first order discount: GEEKY30 (I dont get a referral discount for this one).
And they do ship abroad.
or you can get it from amazon here: https://amzlink.to/az0Cp9v1Mt9P7
