Supplements
Foundation supplements keep you healthy and help training
We recommend foundation supplements to keep you in the best state to lead a healthy life. Food quality has decreased in recent years since the advent of modern farming practices. Also what we are eating is changing, we eat a lot less whole foods and lots more processed food which leads to increased sugar and trans fat entering our systems which affects our ability to process our fat storing hormone Insulin.
The following list of supplements are what we consider as the foundation list that everyone should be taking to optimise the bodies health and to increase our insulin sensitivity.
- Omega 3
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Vitamin D3
- Multi Vitamins
Omega 3 – If cell layers are made up of healthy omega-3 fats, they will be more sensitive to insulin. This allows the cell receptors to bind more easily to the insulin which improves energy use and fat burning.
- Omega-3s significantly increases lean mass
- Decreasing body fat.
- Improves the body’s testosterone-to-cortisol ratio by lowering cortisol.
- Turns on the fat burning genes.
- Turns off the lipogenic or fat storing genes.
If your cells do not have a healthy cell membrane they will become more insulin resistant and will produce more fat on the body and increase the stress hormone Cortisol.
