Fish oil

Our top choice –  AB Omega

  • Improving heart health, joint health, gut health, and inflammatory conditions.

Multivitamin

Even if you maintain a well-balanced diet that includes organic produce and meats while avoiding processed foods, it’s important to acknowledge that significant nutrient deficiencies can still occur. That’s why our list of the 5 essential supplements includes a Multivitamin. While it may seem unnecessary for those who prioritize a healthy diet, a Multivitamin serves as an important safeguard against potential nutrient gaps that can arise, ensuring you meet your body’s needs for optimal health and well-being.

We have two great options for a Multivitamin:

PureGenomics Multivitamin is a highly bioavailable supplement that addresses common genetic variations in the methylation pathway. Key features include:

    • Providing essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
    • Formulated to meet the needs of individuals with sensitivities.

    • Enhancing detoxification processes.

    • Boosting immune function and overall mitochondrial health.

Vitamin d3

Our top choice – AB D3 Daily (5k IU) or AB D3 Weekly (50k IU)

Vitamin D is essential for various bodily functions. In regions above the 37th parallel (refer to the image), where the skin synthesizes minimal vitamin D from sunlight, taking a Vitamin D supplement becomes particularly important. Research has demonstrated that maintaining optimal Vitamin D levels can provide protection against:

  • Osteoporosis
  • Hypertension
  • Cancer
  • Autoimmune diseases

Skin Synthesis of Vitamin D in the gray portion is very low.

Probiotic

Our top choice – AB Probiotic

Gut health is plays a major role in almost every bodily function. An imbalance in your gut can have a profound effect on various aspects of your well-being, including your physical sensations, mood, energy levels, and even hormone regulation. Probiotics play a crucial role in supporting gastrointestinal balance and a healthy immune system. AB Probiotic is a high-quality probiotic supplement that offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Assisting in the absorption of vital vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
  • Promoting a diverse population of beneficial bacteria in the gut, potentially impacting chronic disease.
