What do supplements do and how do they help you?Updated 8 days ago

We believe in a food-first approach. We always recommend a balanced diet consisting of nutrient-dense whole foods as your primary source of nutrition. Supplements are not designed to replace a healthy meal; they are designed to supplement (add to) it

So, why use them? Even with the best intentions, maintaining a perfect diet every single day is difficult. Supplements act as a nutritional safety net, helping to bridge the gap between what your body needs and what your current diet is providing.

When are they most helpful? Supplements can improve your overall health and quality of life by stepping in when:

• You have specific goals: Whether you are looking to build muscle or lose weight, your body requires higher levels of specific nutrients (like protein) that can be hard to get from food alone.

• You are time-poor: When life gets busy, a high-quality shake is a nutritious alternative to skipping a meal or choosing processed fast food.

• You have dietary restrictions: For vegans, vegetarians, or those with allergies, supplements can provide essential nutrients that may be missing from a restricted diet.

• You are recovering: Injury or intense training increases your body's demand for nutrients. Supplements can provide the concentrated support needed to kickstart the recovery process.

  
  

The Bottom Line Think of supplements as the "assist" to your diet's "goal." They are there to ensure you perform at your best, no matter what life throws at you.
