My Best Supplements for Women Trying to Clean Up Their Lifestyles

by | Aug 11, 2021 | Dieting Tricks | 0 comments

This post is going to be my list of some of the best supplements for women that I’ve tried and that I think can be helpful for easing into a cleaner lifestyle.

Please don’t take this as a doctor’s advice. I’m a doctor and a home baker, but I am not in any way a medical expert and can’t afford your lawsuits, so please talk to a medical expert before trying any of these!

How I Chose my Best Supplements for Women

When I say that I think something is one of the best supplements for women, it’s because it’s a product that is available, affordable, and makes claims based on science. I only like products that have research behind their ingredients and that don’t make claims that some kind of miracle will happen by using the product. My focus is on overall nutrition and nourishing the body for better overall function.

These best supplements for women are the types of products that will help to support healthy lifestyle changes, not claim to replace those good habits altogether.  So, as I lead a less sedentary lifestyle eat better overall, these products help to fill in some of the gaps where I know my body could do even better.

My Best Supplements for Women Focused on Self-Care

The following are my top choices so far. I’m sure I’ll be adding to this list, so if you follow me on Facebook, you’ll stay up to date with any of those changes. I won’t be including the diet pills I’m taking on this list.  I’ve talked about that in my post about slow weight loss, so it doesn’t need to be covered here.

1 – Immune System Support

I think it’s obvious why I would be drawn to an immune system support supplement right now.  Currently, my top option is a capsule called IMMUNZ by Intechra Health Inc. I’ve tried a couple of their products before and like that they are an American company that develops its products here and manufactures them in a US facility. Their website clearly spells out all the research behind all their ingredients, which is also very helpful.

2 – Omega Fatty Acids

I had stopped taking omega supplements for a while because I hated the fishy burps the salmon oil was always giving me. It was gross having a fish taste in my mouth all day.  But the Omega Complete supplements from Jamieson are made with krill oil and they don’t do that.  So, these are back on my list for the best supplements for women.

3 – Vitamin D3

Every single time I go to my doctor’s office, she always asks if I’m taking vitamin D3.  She recommends the liquid drops the most, but I find those very messy, and I don’t feel like I’m getting the same precise amount with each dose.  So, I prefer the Webber Naturals Extra Strength Vitamin D softgels instead.

4 – Eye Health Pills

There are eye issues all over my family. We all wear glasses. My mother has age related macular degeneration. My grandfather had glaucoma.  You name it and it’s in my gene pool. So, I’m doing my best to keep up my eye health by giving my eyes the right nutrition to be at their best. I’ve chosen VISIPRO 20-20 for my daily vision support. Every one of the ingredients has been clinically studied, and I feel good telling my optometrist that I nearly never forget to take them.

Most of Us Think we’re Making Far Better Healthy Food Choices Than We Are

Most of Us Think we’re Making Far Better Healthy Food Choices Than We Are

I like to think that I’m making some healthy food choices, for the most part. I know my diet isn’t perfect. I don’t even aim for perfect. I’d have to give up too much of my favorite treats to get to that point. I don’t even think that focusing too much on nutrition is great for your overall wellbeing. A bit of fun has its place now and then. That said, according to this new study I’ve read, we Americans think we’re doing far better than we are, and it’s really holding us back!

What Exactly is a Calorie Deficit for Weight Loss?

What Exactly is a Calorie Deficit for Weight Loss?

I’d heard about the need for a calorie deficit about a million times before I actually looked into what it was. Now, I understand that the name pretty much explains what it is. I got it on the most basic level. If I wanted to lose weight, I needed to burn more calories than I was taking in. That said, when it comes to putting things into practice, the situation became less obvious to me. I admit that it took freaking forever for me to actually look it up.

Running and Dehydration: A Brutal Combination

Running and Dehydration: A Brutal Combination

Running and dehydration pretty much go hand-in-hand during the summer months. As someone who has taken up running relatively recently and is facing her first summer with the sport, this is very new to me, though not unexpected. That said, as I’ve been researching, I’ve also discovered that the combination, while brutal, isn’t exactly what many of us assume it is, particularly when it comes to difficulty level.
