It's difficult to get 100% of the recommended dietary intakes of each vitamin and mineral just from the food we eat. Sometimes our doctors recommend for us to supplement in order to feel our best physically and mentally. This is a list of my favorite...
My favorite multivitamin that I've been taking for at least 10 years!
Made with fermented whole foods for optimal nutrient absorption. These give me so much energy and make me feel great. I also love that there's a little hormone support blend in there - helps me a bit during my cycle.

New Chapter Every Woman's One Daily - Women's Multivitamin
The bomb dot com as a single mineral supplement.
Magnesium citrate has many benefits, but I like to use this closer to bed time mixed in some warm water. It truly helps me to relax and get a better night's sleep.
This product has been one of the best in the game for over a decade!
Also lots of flavors to choose from

Natural Vitality - Calm Magnesium Drink Powder
These always feel like a nice little treat, but you're also treating yourself to a significant dose of calcium (504 mg per 1 disk)
I used to keep a handful in my desk and have one if I didn't feel like I was gonna get enough calcium through the day.
Also nice because it's legitimately a piece of chocolate and doesn't taste like a supplement!
Comes in Dark Chocolate, too.

Adora Calcium Supplement - Milk Chocolate Disks
MY FAVORITE B-COMPLEX OF ALL TIME!
These vegan capsules are packed with all of the essential B vitamins your body needs. Capsules are easy to swallow and don't give you the nasty “b vitamin burps”.
Co-enzymated and readily available for optimal absorption.
Because B vitamins are water-soluble, whatever our bodies don't use, we wind up peeing out.

Stress + Sleep
I think we could all use a little something to take the edge off and help us get some better rest. This is a list of supplements that have worked for me currently AND in the past.
*Please consult with your doctor before adding any new supplements to your daily regimen*
Incredible and unique formula containing Magnesium L-Threonate.
Supports brain health, mood, and memory. This supplement also contains 125 Ashwagandha which is very popular for it's ability to lower cortisol levels.

Jarrow Formulas MagMind Immuno Stress -- 60 Veggie Capsules
A unique blend of various herbs to help calm and soothe you through your everyday stressful moments.
I got this as a free sample once not thinking it would make a difference in my stress levels - but it truly worked for me and just helped me to feel a bit more centered and “in-control” of my over-the-top feelings.
Please be aware that St. John's Wort may have adverse effects for individuals already taking certain types of anti-depressant drugs.

LADIES THIS IS A MUST HAVE IF YOU GET RECURRING YEAST INFECTIONS!
I've been prone to yeast infections since I was in middle school. It's always been so hard to find something that actually worked for me.
From prescription one-a-day pills from my GYN to Monistat, they just kept coming back so frequently.
This blend is so unique and TRULY helps to rid of yeast quickly. If my diet has been a little too high in sugars/unrefined carbs and if I've been sweating a lot in my nether-regions, this helps keep the candida overgrowth AWAY!

Candida Rescue Microbiome Stabilizer
Literally called Cramp Bark because this is a woman's best friend when it comes to brutal menstrual cramps.
Cramp bark is also known as Guelder Rose, and isn't commonly heard of. It helps with a bunch of different types of muscle pains and discomfort, but it's most commonly used by women to treat menstrual cramps.
This stuff is awesome and IMO helps me feel way more in tune with my body's natural responses instead of popping an OTC painkiller.

ATTN LADIES!!! This is AMAZING for UTI support!
Just one small packet contains 5,000 mg of D-mannose - the star of the show. It helps to naturally rid of E. coli in the urinary tract.
D-mannose is a naturally occurring sugar in our bodies, and in high doses it sticks to the urinary tract walls and binds to the bad, infection-causing bacteria, so that it flushes it out when you pee in mass amounts.
Aside from D-mannose, this supplement is PACKED with multiple other herbs that naturally support and strengthen your urinary tract.

Immunity + Cold/Flu + Allergy
My absolute favorites that I've been taking for years and have had excellent successes with!
*Please consult with your doctor before adding any new supplements to your daily regimen*
One of my favorite homeopathic remedies for flu-like symptoms.
This product is NOT vegan/vegetarian friendly. Oscillo contains micro doses of duck liver, and is used to alleviate flu-like symptoms.
Each tube is filled with tiny sugar pellets that you let dissolve under your tongue. Have been taking for years whenever I get the flu and it truly works for me.

Boiron - Oscillococcinum
This is great to take all year round.
From the notorious HOST DEFENSE! Leading brand in functional mushrooms, in my opinion.
This supplement contains 17 different mushrooms that all work together to support your body's natural immune system. Truly a legendary blend of high quality mushrooms.

Host Defense - Organic MyCommunity Mushrooms Capsules
1000 mg of certified organic Turkey Tail mushrooms. Excellent for overall immunity.
I am making zero medical claims, but please watch the TEDTalk with Paul Stamets (Host Defense Founder) to hear about his mother's experience with cancer while taking Turkey Tail mushrooms.

Some people are iffy about herbal supplements for allergies. THIS SAVED ME FROM SEASONAL ALLERGIES!
Took the insane itchiness/tickle in my throat away within 3 minutes. It has a very strong taste, but you can also dilute in water, juice or tea of your choice.
The star of the show in this herbal blend is the Yerba Santa Leaf. 100% must-have in my medicine cabinet at all time.

Did you know that Propolis is what bees use to defend their hive from bacteria and germs? It actually works the same for our immune system!

Beekeeper's Naturals Propolis Immune Support Spray
Hands down one of the best herbal throat lozenges I've ever tried.
The Slipper Elm literally coats your throat to soothe irritation and scratchiness.
These lozenges may also help with acid reflux or upset stomachs. Such an incredible herb!

Concentrated blend starring Fennel Seed, Catnip, Peppermint and Ginger to smash digestive discomforts.
I like to use this when I have excess gas, heartburn, or just whenever I have a basic tummy ache.
This starts working ASAP, or you can use it daily for longer-term support.

Digestive Rescue GI Normalizer
This was the first Collagen powder I tried and loved. It's completely unflavored and mixes so nicely into hot coffee or even a glass of water.
Did you know that Collagen isn't just considered a “beauty” supplement?
While supporting hair, skin and nails… Collagen also heals the tight junctions in our intestinal barrier.
This helps to strengthen overall digestion efforts and prevent leaky gut syndrome.

Vital Proteins - Collagen Peptides Powder
Where my bloated, gassy girls at?
Sometimes our bodies don't naturally produce the enzymes we need to properly break down the foods we eat. This can lead to painful gas and bloat.
These digestive enzymes work WONDERS to help you break down all of the food you eat to absorb all the important nutrients and leave your belly feeling happy.

Enzymedica - Digest Spectrum Digestive Enzymes
This works just like Digest Spectrum, but is formulated for those who need a bit more support.
I would take these digestive enzymes in cases of extreme bloating, gas and discomfort.
