Supplementation

What is BPA

Omega 3 Fish Oil

Omega 3 fish oil offers 1g per capsule. I usually recommend taking 4-7g per day of fish oil.

It's been shown to help to improve insulin sensitivity and increase good quality of fats in the body.

5-HTP

5-HTP may help to increase serotonin in the body as well as help reduce cortisol (stress hormone) and additionally, it has been suggested to increase satiety when eating. It doesn't actually reduce appetite but may help control portion size.

Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium Citrate may improve sleep quality and also reduce cortisol. I usually recommend 500-1000mg of magnesium to clients.

Zinc Citrate

Zinc Citrate is ideal for general health and is a nutrient used in testosterone production.

Additional workout supplements:

Essential BCAAs post workout is great for helping recover from an intense workout. 3-5g BCAA is ideal.

Impact Whey Protein 1 scoop gives you over 20g protein and it is ideal for a fast absorption of protein.
