One of my 2020 resolutions is taking care of my health, so I am literally taking health on my own hands. Having the right vitamins, supplements and nutrition is a very important part of the healing process. At any age it's basic to be fully nourished with the best nutrients our body need. I just turned 37 and to be honest, I haven’t been consistent with my supplements. Now, I had the time and decided to do some research on the best and essential supplements and vitamins women need to have on a daily basis.
There is no secret that the best medicine is food. However sometimes it’s not possible to get all the essential vitamins we need from what we eat, every single day. While it is amazing we get the best we can from our nutrition, taking vitamins and the correct supplements that your body needs, is insuring your body is in optimum condition. Every person is different and has different needs, but these are the essential vitamins a woman needs to have on a daily basis:
Women Multivitamins
The essential vitamins you need to look for are: Vitamin D3 (min. 2,000 IU), Omega-3 and DHA, magnesium, zinc, iron, folate and B-12, if possible. After studying the content of many multivitamins brands, Ritual was the one that checked all the boxes. Not only does it has the vitamins you really need, but is all naturally sourced, vegan certified, gluten and allergen free, non-GMO and has no colorants or synthetic fillers. This is as natural and powerful as you can get from a multivitamin. It also looks and tastes good. You only need 2 pills a day, that you take at any time of the day. It leaves a minty flavor that makes it very easy and comfortable to swallow. You should definitely give it a try, it totally feels right!
Probiotics
A probiotic is basically a live microorganism that improves your health, most specifically your gut. Just for you to know, 60%-80% of our immune system is located in our gut. So it is key to do everything we can to have a healthy gut, it reflects on everything else in our body. The gut is definitely having its moment, there is a lot of proven research that most of our illnesses come from having a leaky gut. Therefore we all need probiotics, that will restore the natural balance of gut bacteria. As a result, health benefits may follow.
At the moment I am having, Dr. Myers 30 billion probiotics and I have been feeling great, no signs of upset stomach or anything similar (that some probiotics may cause). You can buy any of her products and get $10 off with this CODE. She is an expert with everything related with autoimmunity. I am actually on a program with her right now, to try to heal my thyroid issues. I will write a post about this soon to share my experience with you.
The important thing is to choose a probiotic with billions of "good bacteria", diary-free and gluten-free. I am pretty sure you can easily find some good ones in your favorite grocery store aisle.
Collagen
This supplement is associated with many number of benefits, mostly related with skin. While it is very true, that collagen is key to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dry skin, it's even more important the fact that it helps to seal a leaky gut. Which, if you have read this far know, it is essential for our overall health.
The most popular and recommended are the ones from Vital Proteins. I take this one every single day. You can check many options on their website or find them easily on any grocery store.
Beauty supplements
I mean, if there is a natural and clean supplement we can take to improve our skin, hair, body and mood, why not? In my case (for now), it's about the hair. I was loosing a lot of hair lately, this is why I decided to get a supplement that directly targets this issue. I take the Hair sweet Hair from HUM nutrition and believe it or not, my hair has improved a lot. I would say it's falling a quarter of what it used to fall. I also have to confess that I adjusted my diet as well, which I am sure also helped. Anyways, I am very happy with my vegan gummies for stronger and healthier hair.
I truly recommend checking their website for the best supplement that suits you. You can use code 219BAB and get $10 off. Click HERE to see all their products.
As you know I am not a doctor and is always better to check with your physician before prescribing yourself anything. These are just my personal recommendations.
Hope this information was useful!
Love,
Diana
