Supplements You Should Consider Taking Part I





There are some supplements that I'm really excited about and have the privilege of working for Natural Solutions to promote and sell these products to natural food retailers. The first one is Vega One All-In-One Nutritional Shake, Vibrant Health’s Green Vibrance and Pure Green Protein. All products contain no dairy, wheat, gluten, soy or added sugar. They are plant based and contain macro and micronutrients.

I’m going to start with Vega One. This is an all in one nutritional drink that takes care of 50% of the daily intake of vitamins and minerals and anyone can use it. It’s nutrient rich and is plant based so it absorbs well in the system. It also contains digestive enzymes and probiotics for intestinal health. 1 serving equates to 3 servings of veggies, 1.5 grams of omega-3’s, 15 grams of complete protein, enough antioxidants to equal 2.5 cups of blueberries with only 138 calories per serving and it mixes well. I use it by adding a scoop to my shaker cup with 1 ½ cups of water, shake it up and drink. I personally love the taste and favor the chocolate and berry flavor. It also comes in natural and vanilla chai. I’m also a person who is sensitive to certain foods so I find that this product works well for me. It's also low in calories but I have found that it makes me feel full longer and it cuts down on cravings. Although it’s not marketed for weight loss, I have found that I eat less because I feel full longer.

I’m also a big advocate of Green Vibrance. This product contains more nutrients in one serving compared to eating 5 servings of fruits and veggies. What makes this product superior is that it’s not only food based but contains a combination of greens that are from several sources. Green Vibrance was featured on Dr. Oz and works several ways. It aids in the synthesize of vitamins B and K, improves digestion, contains over 24 billion probiotics, increases the intestinal bacteria in the stomach so it’s better able to produce it’s own antibiotic affects to ward off pathogens. It also delivers micro and phytonutrients along with antioxidants to fight against aging, stress, improve immune functions, increase energy and detoxify the body. I personally like to take a shot of this in the morning. I have found that it has increased my energy level and it also helps control my cravings when taken first thing in the morning. Most food craving can be the result of a nutrient deficiency in your body, which is why this may control cravings. I recommend that you visit the website to get a better look at the product. It can be purchased at health food stores such as Clark’s Nutritional Centers, Sprouts or Wholefoods or through the website. http://www.vibranthealth.us/?p2=/modules/vibranthealth/product.jsp&id=26

Vibrant Health also makes a product called PureGreen Protein. This is a non-dairy, gluten free, non-GMO product. It too is food based and is great for those who have food sensitivities. Again I’ve used this product and love it. It’s the only plant based protein supplement that has an amino acid composition equivalent to human muscle. Visit the website to find out more about this product and it too can be purchased at your local health food store if they carry it. I know Clark’s, Sprouts and some other stores carry it. http://www.vibranthealth.us/ . Both PureGreen Protein and Green Vibrance were featured in Better Nutrition magazine as Best Supplements in 2011.
