Find Your Fit - Supplements
Health and fitness expert, Clare Stobart
When you feel your best, you look your best and I feel supplements give you the winning edge on your health. They support fitness andhealth goals and have incredible anti ageing properties.
Vitamins and minerals are essential to help your body function at its optimum level and just as importantly, to stay there. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) is a great starting point, but I like to up my intake to help me through the different challenges of everyday life. Increasing the power of your diet with supplements boosts your immune system, reduces the effects of ageing and can improve your overall well being.
I am a firm supporter of multivitamins backed by science. I take Lyma daily. This medical grade supplement aids with sleep, performance, beauty, anxiety and health and is clinically proven to work. The supplement aims to reintroduce you to “The joy of being on point”. Clarity, focus and mental dexterity can help you excel in every walk of life.
Incredible, NAD+ is definitely the greatest find of 2023. Youth & Earth - NMN Sub- Lingual Powder contains 99% pure NAD+, which is the natural fuel every cell relies on in our body.
Research has shown that this can drop as much as 50% as we age, making it harder for our body to produce the energy we need. This fine powder dissolves under your tongue and rapid absorption ensures it is as beneficial to you as possible. Increased NAD+ levels stimulate energy, metabolism, DNA repair and sirtuin activity which are our longevity genes. It also helps to improve reaction time and muscle development during workouts, as well as post-workout recovery and muscle repair. Although very new to the market, I can really feel the difference already.
A great Norwegian brand backed by research is Zinzino. Your journey starts off with a home health test to establish where exactly your body is at, ensuring you only consume exactly what your body needs. Continued testing gives you peace of mind and proof that your body is absorbing the supplements advised. I am currently taking BalanceOil+ which is full of fatty acids, Viva+ to help me sleep and ZinoBiotic+ for my gut health.
For an added boost to my skin, hair and nails, I take Reverse Life - High Strength Collagen. Packed with zinc, biotin and hylauronic acid, it is a powerful cocktail of super-charged ingredients. Amino acids and collagen help to maintain strength, elasticity in your skin, giving you a youthful radiant complexion, all while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. What could be better?
Should my immune system be low, or I can feel a cold coming on, I take extra vitamin C. My favourite is a gel style supplement from Altrient. Liposomal Vitamin C 1000mg plus phosphatidylcholine is a liquid formula for maximum absorption. Not only does it boost your immune system, it also reduces fatigue, helping you to feel better as quickly as possible.
My perfect bullet coffee ingredient is MCT Colada - emulsified medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) allows for rapid absorption, aiding cognitive health, physical performance and can boost your metabolism. By adding these essential fats to your morning coffee, it helps to improve endurance and gives you an amazing energy boost. It also aids weight loss, lowers cholesterol and helps balance your blood sugar, the perfect combination.
Another great nutrient rich drink is Bio-matcha. Health Bar Food Bio-Matcha is an organic, fine powder rich in antioxidants. Not only does it support our immune system, it also slows down the aging process. I love to have a matcha latte in the morning to ensure the best start to my day. The powder dissolves easily into a hot liquid, and I find it delicious, but not everyone agrees!
As with any supplement or diet regime, commitment and consistency is key. They work hand in hand with exercise and improve your overall well-being both now and in the future.
