MY RECOMMENDED SUPPLEMENTS
MULTIVITAMIN
A multivitamin is the essential baseline to start your personal vitamin regimen. Once you’ve established the right multi for your personal needs, you add in any other supplements for your own health concerns and goals.†
Our options: Core Multi, Men’s Multi, Women’s Multi, Performance Multi, Multi Energy Powder, Daily Multi with Grape Seed and the Kid’s Multi
PROBIOTICS
Most have heard of probiotics as healthy bacteria and as important to re-balance our gut after taking an antibiotic. However, did you also know helpful probiotics are for digestion, immune function and weight loss?†
Our options: Probiotic HxⓇ, Probiotic HxⓇ Weight, Probiotic Maintain and Core Probiotic
COLLAGEN
Collagen is needed for all of our connective tissues, not just hair, skin and nails. It can help your brain, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and bones.†

OMEGA-3
Omegas are a true powerhouse! They are important not only for our heart and brain, but also for our eyes, veins and skin. Omegas can aid in digestion, support healthy bowel function and hydrate from the inside out. Omegas can also ease inflammation.†
Our options: Fish Oil, Biomega, Krill Oil Advanced and Organic Flaxseed Powder (vegetarian option)
NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine)
NAC is a precursor to glutathione, which means our bodies use NAC to make glutathione, which is essential for anti-aging. NAC is most commonly used for our respiratory system to open up the lungs for easier breathing and to aid in liver and kidney detoxification.†
Our option: NAC
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT
Grape Seed Extract is a great antioxidant that can help aid in circulation. This nutrient can also be beneficial for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels, healthy eyes and even targets inflammation.†
Our option: Grape Seed Extract
RESVERATROL
Resveratrol is something we’ve all heard of…it’s what makes a glass of red wine “good for you”. It’s great for anti-aging, as well as our brain, heart and intestinal health. Resveratrol can help our cells fend off free radical damage, which can make us more susceptible to developing illnesses and diseases.†
Our options: Resveratrol, Resveratrol HxⓇ, Resveratrol Max HxⓇ and Resveratrol-50
GREEN TEA
Green tea is a great all-around beneficial antioxidant. Not only is it good for maintaining healthy weight but can also aid in weight loss by helping to promote fat burning in our bodies. Green tea can also act as an immunity booster and can support healthy cell division.†

CALCIUM
Everyone knows how important calcium is for our bones. It helps to keep them strong and healthy. It can help maintain bone density and is essential for proper bone aging. Calcium is best used along with such vitamins and minerals like magnesium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K and sometimes strontium.†
Our options: Calcium Magnesium Citrate, Calplex HxⓇ and Bone Powder (aka MY PERSONAL FAVORITE!)†
Vitamin D
Vitamin D3 that is a lipid soluble compound that plays a significant role in calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. Vitamin D naturally comes from sunlight but with time people are getting less sunlight spending more time indoors. As mentioned above calcium and vitamin D can play a role together therefore it is important to include vitamin D into your daily regimen as well. †
Our options: Vitamin D3 1000 IU, Vitamin D3 3000 IU, and Vitamin D3 300 IU †

Keeping your gut healthy during the holiday season is key to making sure that your holidays are a success. We know that we’re often exposed to many different foods that we may not usually eat and maybe it’s prepared by people we don’t know. It’s important that we make sure we’re doing everything in our power to keep our gut nice and healthy during the holidays.†
How common are foodborne illnesses?
When it comes to foodborne illnesses during the holidays, that’s when we see an exponential shift in terms of how many Americans actually get ill because of different foods. We know that, throughout the entire year, foodborne illnesses affect about 50 million people, so it’s a very common issue that arises. When we look at the holidays, we can see that this really spikes.†
We have to think about the different reasons as to why this happens. We have to look at who is making the food. Are they handling the food hygienically? Were they storing them properly? Were they reheating them properly? This is important because bacteria thrives in these types of environments, so we want to make sure that our gut is ready just in case we’re exposed to something that is not exactly friendly.†
Maintaining the integrity of your gut
When it comes to making sure that our gut is prepared in the event we are exposed to things such as salmonella or staph infections, there is a triple nutrient defense that I always recommend. This would include laying down good, healthy bacteria with Probiotic HxⓇ. This is a multi-strain probiotic that also contains prebiotic, which primes the gut for the introduction of the good, healthy bacteria.†
Then we look at the Nucleotide Complex, which offers nucleic acids that make up our DNA and RNA. When we think about our GI tract or gut cells, those have a rapid rate of division and turnover, so we want to make sure that we’re having healthy turnover and not have unfriendly cells continuously replicating. Having the Nucleotide Complex is certainly an immune-boosting nutrient to have on board during the holidays, not only in the event that we are exposed to a foodborne pathogen, but also for our immune defenses in general.†
We also want to include Grape Seed Extract. Grape Seed Extract has been shown to have these really powerful antibacterial properties to it. Research has shown that it has this ability to help fend off some of the gross things that we may be exposed to during the holiday season.†
