I'm watching what I eat and I'm exercising. What supplements should I be taking?

 A number of you within the Kilboa community have written us expressing a newfound or returning commitment to health, fitness and good dietary choices.  “Hey, I’ve lost 25 lbs!” or “I’m exercising more!”  First off, may we say, “Sweeeeet!”  We are behind you.  In doing so you’ve asked, “Now that I’m on this path, what (supplements) should I take?”

Good question.  This happens to be an area where we can help.

The Kilboa team will always believe that obtaining nutrition from food should always be your top priority.  Supplementation does just that, it supplements.  Most of the great nutrients, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and healthy microorganisms your body needs can be found in the rightly grown and prepared foods.  We believe there are small choices you can make in your diet to improve your health.  As life is a journey, walking out such revelation and change takes time.  If, as a first step, you’d like to supplement to support the positive changes you're making then we have some recommendations for you.

We have specifically designed two kits to meet your needs.  Each kit provides you around a 1-month supply.  Of course any combination of these products can be purchased on their own.  We’re out to simplify and make this an easy decision for you and in terms of research time, and cost.  So here goes:

Foundations Supplement Kit

Our Price - $23.05, List Price - $37.88

1.  Nature's Way - Alive!®  Whole Food Energizer Multi-Vitamin - 90 Tablets.  This product has a 30-Day supply (based on suggested usage of 3/day).

2.  Spectrum Essentials - Cod Liver Oil - 520 mg - 90 Softgels.  This product has a 22-Day supply (based on suggested usage of 4/day - but we're confident you can stretch this to thirty days).

Let’s keep this explanation simple.  We believe a great multivitamin and a great fish oil product like cod liver oil should always be front and center in a foundational supplement regimen.

The multi-vitamin we’ve chosen for you supplies the following nutrients from many natural sources:

· 29 Vitamins & Minerals
· 24 Fruits & Veggies
· 14 Green Foods
· 18 Amino Acids
· 12 Digestive Enzymes
· 10 Essential Fatty Acids
· 12 Organic Mushrooms

Cod liver oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA.  DHA supports memory and nervous system functioning, while EPA supports heart health, reduces inflammation and improves cellular integrity.*   Cod liver oil has a high ratio of DHA to EPA making it a great choice to boost your omega-3 intake.

Did you know that AOL reports that the SECOND top searched embarrassing health concern on AOL Search is Irritable Bowel Syndrome!  Digestive issues are the unsexy, un-discussed and most prevalent issues the common American faces!  Too embarrassing to talk about.  Not alluring enough for the media like say some exotic infection or flu.  Don’t believe me? Read this.

Good probiotics and digestive enzymes can help.  Probiotics are "friendly" bacteria that can be obtained by eating some fermented foods and through supplementation. Probiotics in the digestive system help maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora.  They boost the body's ability to absorb food and nutrients, support the immune system and help reduce inflammatory responses within the gastrointestinal system.*

Good probiotic products (and supplements in general) are worth the price.  I know many of you who are new to the world of supplementation may get a little bit of sticker shock in this category.  You may not remember what it was like to live WITHOUT your digestive issues.  Don’t resign yourself to your discomfort.  Give the Digestive Health Kit a shot.

Over time, should you feel these recommended supplements have made a difference in your life then maybe you’ll choose to permanently include them as part of your dietary regimen.  It will be a budgetary item that will bite into your expendable income now.  Trust me when I say we’ve done the math not only in terms of “lattes-per-month” but in terms of medical costs too.  The return in terms of quality of life, and we believe, reduced medical expenses both now and in your future makes it a good investment.

Remember, we have lots of choices.  Feel free to shop.  We designed these kits to make life (or at least this choice) a little easier for you.

Oh, keep up the good work!

Stephen & The Kilboa Team.

Enzymes are also important to the digestive process.  Naturally, when you eat, digestive enzymes are immediately released from your salivary glands, stomach and small intestines to help breakdown proteins, carbohydrates and fats.  Supplemental enzymes assist with the absorption of nutrients from the foods you eat.  Without enzymes in your digestive system foods would move slowly through the digestive tract.  You might be familiar with the result - abdominal bloating, gas, constipation and heartburn.*
