Why you'll love it
Magnesium: Because this ultra relaxing mineral is great for your mind, body and spirit! Quite literally though, Magnesium is responsible for the relaxation of everything from blood vessels for a healthy heart, to smooth muscle for easing cramps, to bowels to keep things regular, to the nervous system to help with sleep and more! It’s not surprising that it impacts so many body systems seeing as it’s the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions.
Multivitamin: Because let’s face it, no one eats perfectly balanced meals 100% of the time. And, even for those that do have an exceptionally clean and nutritious diet, the truth is that the nutrient density of our food is not nearly what it used to be. Unless you are lucky enough to live on a farm, it could take several weeks between harvesting and when the food arrives on your plate, losing valuable nutrients along the way.
Omega 3: Omegas are essential nutrients required for the proper structure and functioning of every cell in the body. In fact, there are over 60 conditions that have been shown to benefit from their use. Furthermore, due to their extensive role, they’re critical for optimal health and nearly everyone can benefit from improving their Omega 3 intake.
Probiotic: Intestinal flora play such an important role, and supplementing with Probiotics can really have a profound effect on promoting overall good health. In fact, 70% of the immune system is located in the intestine which makes sense when you consider that the gut is actually the gatekeeper responsible for allowing the passage nutrients while preventing toxins from entering our bloodstream
Vitamin C: While Vitamin C is quite prevalent in raw fruits and vegetables, many Canadians just aren’t eating enough, especially with the limited seasonal availability of local produce and the fact that today’s fruits and vegetables contain about 30% less Vitamin C than our grandparents’ did. Vitamin C probably has more health benefits than just about any other nutrient. As a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C works to improve everything from your immune function to skin health and pretty much everything in between.
Vitamin D: Vitamin D is a health basic. Everyone from infants to seniors can benefit from the appropriate dose of Vitamin D, especially those who live in a colder climate with limited year-round exposure to direct sun. Because diet alone is a poor source of Vitamin D, most of your body’s needs are met from exposure to sunlight and complemented with supplements
Why this formula?
Magnesium Bisglycinate is chosen for its excellent bioavailability as well as the fact that it doesn’t have a laxative effect at higher doses unlike other Magnesium supplements thanks to it being absorbed in a different part of the gut.
This multivitamin contains all the things you need and none of the stuff you dont! It’s encapsulated in a vegetable based capsule that helps ensure 100 % disintigration so vitamins can enter the intestine where they should be, ensuring you get the most out of your supplement.
This fish oil supplement has been thoroughly reviewed to ensure that it contains only small fish that are mollecularly distilled to ensure that it is high in EPA and DHA and low in contaminants. It has also been independently tested to ensure that it is free from heavy metals and environmental toxins so you can confidently take this knowing you are getting all of the good stuff and none of the bad.
These probiotics are all multi-strain. Having more strains provides strength in numbers as well as variation in the type of bacteria you are colonizing with. High concentrations of fewer strains can be great for treating certain conditions like antibiotic associated diarrhea, however diversity is important in supplements used for daily, general health so as not to end up with an over-colonization of any specific strain of bacteria.
This Vitamin C is patented calcium ascorbate made using a water-based, chemical-free process. The result is a buffered, non-acidic form that is gentle on the stomach and less likely to cause any of the digestive issues associated with regular vitamin C.
Because Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, it’s best taken daily with a healthy fat. This Vitamin D is formulated in a base of Organic Olive Oil to help with absorption.
How much do I really need?
Everything you need for the day will come in your Healthy Foundations dispenser box. Each day, you’ll take a morning pack with 5 capsules and an evening pack with 5 capsules. These should be taken after food and with a full glass of water to be sure you are getting the most out of your supplements.
