How I choose my Supplements
Plus, get My Favorite New Multivitamin This Amazon Prime Day, sponsored by Centrum
If you’ve been following my journey, you know that a huge part of my life is nutrition and wellness. Having focused on a mostly plant-based diet for almost a decade, I constantly find myself re-evaluating and assessing how I am getting the key nutrients my body needs to thrive. As I’ve shared before, keeping up with my crew is a full time job, so I make it a priority to find easy and efficient ways to nourish my body. I am always re-evaluating the multivitamins and supplements I am taking, and have currently been taking and reviewing Centrum Whole Food Women’s Multivitamins. I think it’s important to know about specialty brands, and also brands that can be found easily on Amazon or in the grocery store.
The first thing I decide is whether or not I need something. Obviously! There are a TON of products out there nowadays, because wellness is booming and trendy. But you really need to first figure out what it is that your body needs - and your needs might be (or will be!) different from mine.
The second thing I look for, like I said above - are brands that are available to the masses. While I do love to get super niche and specialized on occasion, my job is to make sure that I am reviewing brands that are available and not super abstract and expensive.
Thirdly - look at the ingredients before you buy something! Make sure you understand the brand, the company, and what’s in the bottle.
While I am to get most of my vitamins and minerals from food, the sad truth is that our soil is very different than it once was and so are our diets. I use a multivitamin to make up for the nutrients I am lacking from my everyday food. My clients typically will get one of these, too, since it does a good job of filling a lot of gaps.
The biggest attraction to Centrum Whole Food Women’s Multivitamins for me was the fact that they have a blend of organic, whole foods that are designed to work with your body. If you think about that, it makes total sense - why wouldn’t we take vitamins and supplements that more closely match the foods we put into our bodies every day?! It was a no-brainer for me once I saw the list of ingredients (because you know I need to see that list before I even consider using a product). Another incredible way that Centrum is changing the multivitamin game is by ensuring that their products are Non-GMO and free of major allergens, artificial preservatives, and synthetic dyes. AND if you needed just one more reason to love them, their Whole Food Multivitamins fit almost every dietary lifestyle including being vegetarian, paleo, and keto friendly.
I’ve been taking them for a few weeks now and I absolutely love the feeling of getting everything that my body needs to function at its best. I think of it this way - plants can survive on sunlight and water, right? But fertilizer sure helps. Ha! This is that!
Back to the ease of obtaining the products. In the past, I have gone to natural food stores, wellness experts and more to find a multivitamin that worked best for me. I love that I finally have a more accessible brand to recommend - Centrum, who not only provided a product I could seamlessly introduce into my lifestyle, but that they were so easily accessible.
Centrum Whole Food Women’s Multivitamin and many of their other products are available for easy purchase through Amazon and currently at a great price for prime day!
