Let's talk vitamins.................

I always advise, before trying any new vitamins please consult your doctor!!!!

Now let’s get into it…

First and foremost, I do not like taking pills, I hate it for lack of better words. I only take a few vitamins that have multiple benefits. I try to eat a nutrient pack diet so I would need less supplements that’s were the smoothies come to play. Here is a list of vitamins I use and why:

Tip 1 Cold/viruses: Vitamin C 1000mg daily.
Since I have been taking vitamin C + veggie/fruit smoothie, I rarely get sick. Every once in a while, I’ll sneeze but that’s it. It’s been three years, I can count on my hand how many times I’ve been sick. i Would get sick all the time, with upper respiratory infections, flu or strep throat. But not lately!

Tip 2 seasonal allergies/sinus: grape seed extract 200mg capsules.
I know what you are thinking, grape seed extract what?! Any time my eyes start to get watery/itchy or sinuses are giving me trouble I would take natural grape seed extract one daily until symptoms dissipate.

Tip 3 multi-vitamin composed of only zinc/calcium/magnesium= Menstrual issues:
Studies have shown that lack of magnesium is the cause for a lot of women menstrual issue. My cycle consist of irregularity, heavy flow, breast pain/tenderness and cramps. However, since i started taking these vitamins it has improved. My menstrual cycle is not as heavy and cramping/breast pain/tenderness has decreased.

Tip 4 nutrition, nutrition, nutrition:
Its great to have supplements, but nothing beats eating healthy and exercise. Adding more vegetables and dark fruit, such as berries to your daily diet will help your body heal and function at its optimal level!
