Supplements

Posted on: March 14, 2013

Since I started my new fitness regimen, I decided it was probably best to heed the advice of so many trainers and articles and start adding dietary supplements.  Before I bought anything I did some research to make sure that what I get is appropriate for the type of lifestyle I am currently living.  Once I bought it all and it made its way to me (THE NEXT DAY), I was a little surprised by how much I was going to be taking.  I had to re-research some of the supplements.  DSC_0021

As you can see, it really does look like a lot.  Honestly though, there are only five supplements there, but the dosage is two pills.  The back amber-colored capsules are a smart fats complex (as in Omega 3′s).  The green ones are my Vitamin C.  DSC_0022The beige colored pills are my multivitamins.  The ugly yellow ones are my fish oil pills…  my least favorite.  And the two big ones in the center are Vitamin D.

I also use whey protein as a way to get more protein into my diet, because honestly, I can only eat so many meats and beans.  :)  I also take a green tea extract supplement and a BCAA supplement.  The BCAA stands for Branched Chained Amino Acids.  I take both supplements before my workout, so that by the time I’m done working out, the BCAA is already in there, doing its job.

Here is a quick run down of the benefits of each one:

BCAA – helps with the rebuilding of muscle after strength training

Green Tea Extract – helps burn fat and gives a small amount of energy

Vitamin C – boost immune system health

Vitamin D – supports bone health as well as supporting thyroid functions

Multivitamin – provides the fundamental building blocks of nutrition

Fish Oil – an essential fatty acid, helps rebuild existing cells and create new ones, as well as supporting cardiovascular health and joint flexibility

Smart Blend – enhances body fat reduction, increases your immune system, and support cardiovascular health
