<\/a><\/p>\nD3 + K2 Gummies<\/a> | Magnesium<\/a> | Multivitamin<\/a> | Fish Oil<\/a> | Probiotics<\/a> | Creatine<\/a><\/p>\n The one thing I\u2019m pretty picky about is where we buy our supplements. And right now? That\u2019s iHerb. Unlike marketplaces that rely on countless third-party vendors (with completely unknown storage conditions, quality control, etc), iHerb ships directly from its own climate-controlled warehouses. This sort of direct-to-me supply chain just means fewer variables, fewer unknowns (and or humid storage units somewhere), and a higher level of quality control \u2014 especially important for supplements.<\/p>\n Something else to get excited about: Use MOMEDIT for early access to @iHerb\u2019s BFCM sale for 25% off $60+ for new customers and 20% off $60+ for returning customers!<\/p>\n 1. Nordic Naturals Fish Oil<\/p>\n Nordic Naturals Fish Oil Supplement<\/a><\/p>\n When We Take Them: With the first real meal of the day<\/p>\n If I do nothing else\u2026I take my fish oil supplements. These bad boys help reduce inflammation, balance hormones, protect the brain \u2013 both cognitive and mood \u2013 supports heart health and helps to maintain the skin barrier (I swear my skin always looks plumper and more glowy when I take these consistently). Pax\u2019s nutritionist also asked that we add these into his daily, as well. It turns out fish oil is also great for joint health and muscle recovery, too.<\/p>\n I like the Nordic Naturals specifically because they\u2019re certified by \u201cFriend of the Sea\u201d (for sustainability) and don\u2019t taste bad when swallowing. We (myself and the boys) have been taking these daily for over a year now, and there have been ZERO instances of that \u2018fishy burp\u2019 taste after taking them. The reviews of these are off the charts \u2013 and for good reason. <\/p>\n 2. D2 + K3 Gummies<\/p>\n Gummies<\/a><\/p>\n When We Take Them: With the first real meal of the day<\/p>\n Another request from Pax\u2019s nutritionist, Vitamin D3 + K2 together are pretty foundational for winter athletes. This combo can improve recovery, support his bone + tendon strength, reduces his risk of injury, and just helps to keep his immune system strong during competition season.<\/p>\n That\u2019s great for Pax\u2026but D3 + K2 can also help protect my bone health long-term, as well as \u2013 just like Pax \u2013 keep my immune system strong and support recovery from workouts. There\u2019s also some data I came across somewhere (sorry gang, can\u2019t remember) that said that D3 + K2 *could* help to reduce visceral belly fat from shifting hormones. At this point, I\u2019ll try anything (haha), and this seems like a pretty smart way to do just that. <\/p>\n NOTE: My multi-vitamin also contains some D3 & K2\u2026so I usually add these gummies<\/a> in 3-4 times per week for a little extra dose without overdoing it. Or I\u2019ll take them on days I don\u2019t have time to swallow pills (which is crazy, haha, but too true \u2013 gummies make everything SO much easier!!).<\/p>\n 3. My Multi-Vitamin: Ritual<\/p>\n Ritual Multivitamin<\/a><\/p>\n When We Take Them: With the first real meal of the day<\/p>\n My grandmother lived until she was 96 years old, and she swore by multivitamins \u2013 she was taking them since before they were cool. \ud83d\ude42 Which, frankly, was enough for me \u2013 I\u2019ve always taken a multi. The Ritual Multivitamins<\/a> are my current favorite \u2013 their 50+ is formulated for menopause support, and I especially love that the taste, as you swallow them, is peppermint. It make the whole experience SO much better.<\/p>\n 4. Ritual Probiotics<\/p>\n Ritual Probiotics<\/a><\/p>\n When We Take Them: Before bed<\/p>\n What I\u2019m calling \u201cprobiotics\u201d are actually a blend of probiotics, prebiotics, and a postbiotic in a delayed-release vegan capsule that is designed to survive stomach acid to make it to the colon. I just like that these don\u2019t need to be refrigerated, and that they\u2019ve never caused initial stomach upset the way some probiotics do. Have they solved all of my menopause issues? Nah. But I do feel less bloated when taking them consistently. And they\u2019re also peppermint flavored, just like the multivitamins. <\/p>\n 5. Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Glycinate<\/p>\n Magnesium Glycinate<\/a><\/p>\n When We Take Them: Before bed<\/p>\n We originally bought this after my husband\u2019s Oura ring told him that he wasn\u2019t getting enough deep sleep. Fun fact: it worked. It\u2019s also been pretty incredible for my sleep, too \u2013 I find I fall asleep easier and stay asleep longer when I\u2019ve taken magnesium. It also supports bone health and muscle recovery, too.<\/p>\n One note: I can\u2019t take this every night \u2013 it makes me feel really weird, almost like I\u2019m falling asleep too deeply \u2013 or I\u2019ll have strange dreams. My perfect dosage seems to be 2-3 times per week. <\/p>\n 6. Thorne Creatine<\/p>\n Thorne Creatine Monohydrate<\/a><\/p>\n When We Take Them: Before dinner<\/p>\n I first learned about Creatine from Pax\u2019s nutritionist \u2013 we\u2019ve all have been taking it fairly regularly for almost a year now. It improves strength and endurance, and is one of the most well-researched, effective and safe supplements out there. While beloved by muscle-y guys everywhere, it also shows some promise for the menopause crowd, too. Things like maintaining and building muscle post-menopause, faster recovery from weight-lifting days, improves energy and cognition, supports bone health and \u2013 maybe \u2013 could even fight belly fat driven by stress & hormones. Here\u2019s hopin\u2019.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve tried a bunch of different types of Creatine, and Thorne\u2019s<\/a> is my favorite. It\u2019s Creatine Monohydrate which \u2013 if I can remember correctly \u2013 is the easiest form to digest? It\u2019s the only one that hasn\u2019t made me incredibly bloated. The boys all take 5g daily (one scoop) and I take 2.5g (half of a scoop).<\/p>\n 7. Collagen & Matcha<\/p>\n Vital Proteins Collagen<\/a> | Laird Superfoods Matcha<\/a><\/p>\n When We Take Them: All day<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been stirring Vital Proteins Collagen<\/a> into my coffee for years now. Has it completely restored my face to its 25-year-old state? Nah. In fact, I haven\u2019t noticed much in terms of skin (which was, haha, the original reason I started taking it), but I have noticed is that there seems to be some sort of protective effect for my joints. When I stop taking collagen, I start to notice pain in my knees while lifting or running more often. Do what you will with this data point. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n The Laird Superfoods instant Matcha<\/a> is great. We first started buying this when MikeD was trying \u2013 unsuccessfully \u2013 to give up his afternoon coffee habit. These little instant packets were the key. Matcha gave him just enough of a boost, but didn\u2019t disrupt his sleep. And these little packets are juuuuuust sweetened enough. I also love that they\u2019re vegan, too \u2013 just add hot water and froth with a frother.<\/p>\n 8. Nuun Electrolytes <\/p>\n Nuun Electrolytes<\/a><\/p>\n When We Take Them: All day<\/p>\n Last winter, I got talked into taking this very heated pilates\/strength training class. It was unbearably hot and I vaguely remember doing burpees? Ugh \u2013 I\u2019ve blocked it out. But I do remember that it took me, like, days to recover. I couldn\u2019t figure out why all the other women seemed fine (I was in Vermont, for crying out loud \u2013 these are not people used to the heat)\u2026until I noticed that all of them were carrying these little Nuun bottles<\/a> in their purses. Pop a little tablet into your water bottle and bam! Instant electrolytes. I now always have one with me \u2013 making sure I get one dose of electrolytes in my water every day has honestly done wonders for my energy levels.<\/p>\n So that\u2019s it! Those are the supplements we currently swear by \u2013 the ones that I\u2019ve bought multiple times, and will continue to do so. Are there any that you have found really helpful? One that\u2019s on my list to try is this NMN veggie capsule<\/a>. It has an insane amount of 5-star ratings and reviewers keep mentioning everything from better energy to feeling more \u2018alive\u2019 during busy weeks. I haven\u2019t tried it yet, but the reviews alone are enough to make me curious. Thoughts?<\/p>\n Good luck out there, Gang. It\u2019s a wild world. <\/p>\n xo,<\/p>\n S <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This post is sponsored by iHerb.
