Just like our physical bodies, our hormones need nourishment to keep sending the appropriate signals to the appropriate cells to get the appropriate responses. When our adrenals, thyroid and other endocrine glands are lacking in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and nutrients, the whole show is going to get out of balance.
This is why proactive supplementation is so key! And we have some great foundational options that will give your entire endocrine system the nourishment it needs – not to mention your body overall!
You say antioxidants, I say NingXia Red. This supplement powerhouse is packed full of antioxidants and nutrients that our bodies desperately need!
Not only is NingXia Red the highest known protection against the free radicals (highest on the S-ORAC test!), it is rich in ellagic acid, polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals. In addition, it has 18 amino acids, 21 trace minerals, beta-carotene, and vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E.
NingXia Red is an excellent whole-food source of nutrients that gives energy and strength to the body without harmful stimulates. It also has an amazing low glycemic index of 11 that does not spike the blood sugar levels.
This one supplement in your routine can do so much! Check out a recent clinical study with NingXia Red](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212958822000714?fbclid=IwAR04ijw-DpdwKUVXO079SizsPJTEI0DbVqW_NvM5vufRuc-lrtZokqcL7n8) for more!
This vegan omega-3 supplement serves up essential fatty acids from algal oil (algae!) to support your hormones, heart, brain, eyes, and immune system.
We have all heard that omega-3s are important for our heart, but did you know that they are crucial for our mood, emotions, and hormones as well?! This is because hormones are made from good fats aka omega-3s. Our bodies need fat to produce hormones, so adding in a high quality source of them just makes sense!
We love the algal oil in Green Omega3-s. A plant-based source of omega-3 has so many benefits over traditional fish-based sources – less impact on the marine ecosystem, reduced potential for marine contaminants, and a product without a fishy smell or aftertaste. All the good stuff, none of the bad!
Super B is one of our daily must-haves! This B complex supplement is great for maintaining healthy energy levels, supporting mood, nourishing our endocrine system, and maintaining cardiovascular and cognitive function.
Our current lifestyles often leave our thyroid and adrenal system (our fight or flight response) on overdrive, and B vitamins are a great way to give them some love on a daily basis.
B vitamins are essential to our health and well-being, and each B vitamin performs a unique and separate function, which is why a ‘B Complex’ vitamin is essential. Unfortunately, B vitamins must be replenished daily, as they are water soluble and therefore not stored in the body.
B vitamins can help with mood and emotions, hormonal balance, thyroid function, adrenal health, energy levels, and much more. They are hugely important!
The events of everyday living demand a continual ingestion of minerals, ideally from the diet, but given current food and farming practices, diet just isn’t enough.
Enter Mineral Essence.
Mineral Essence is a balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex that contains sixty ionic minerals including iron, zinc, boron, sodium, magnesium, selenium, thallium, calcium, and potassium.
And like all our other favorite supplements, it is infused with essential oils! Peppermint, Cinnamon Bark and Lemon. These oils support healthy digestion, contain antioxidants and immune support properties, and help the body absorb the minerals, making them more available and useful to the body.
Still not sure? Check this out:
Iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium deficiencies alone have been linked to many health issues — including those that affect our emotional health — and all of these deficiencies can be improved with Mineral Essence! Many times deficiencies such as iron aren’t actually about needing more iron but are about your body having iron that it can assimilate, use, and eliminate so your sources matter.
These four supplements form an incredible foundation for any work that you want or need to do when it comes to hormone health – for men or women! If nothing else, get these into your daily routine to nourish your endocrine system (and whole body!!) to make a shift forward.
