Have you ever been standing in an aisle at the store, staring at rows upon rows of the same type of product, all with slight variations and different buzzwords across the package? How do you know which one to choose when overwhelmed with the option of choice? Just like the products at the store, supplements can be the same way. In every category the market is saturated, all with the same idea of promising results. Not to mention every time you go on the internet your feed is being flooded with curated ads that claim to be the next best thing for whatever ailment you’re looking to find relief for. So, what’s the best placed to start when it comes to supplementing?
While every person is different, there are three core supplements we recommend to help get someone to a solid baseline. Those are; a probiotic, magnesium, and an omega oil. These three together are a triple threat, covering a lot of issues that people might not realize could be something easily solved. Magnesium, which has been gaining popularity on social media platforms, has been used for ages to help support almost every function of the body. This includes sleeping, bone health, heart health, muscle function, and much more. Due to soil depletion, many are deficient in key minerals like magnesium. Along with our soil lacking minerals, our diets are not what they used to be. Life is busy, and the convenience of quick meals has changed the food industry and our health. Without staples that our ancestors used to eat, like fish and fermented foods, we tend to lack a diverse gut microbiome and the essential fatty acids that help support our brain, skin, and joints. This is why it’s key to add a probiotic, and omegas back in.
Once you have the basics covered, it’s so much easier to really figure out what you need when it comes to supplementing. Often these three make a noticeable difference. At Settler’s we have many options in each category, and we’re always happy to help find the best product for your individual needs.
