Let’s face it, many of us do not receive sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals we need through a healthy food plan alone. That’s where supplements come in and provide the additional nutrients necessary for healthy weight loss and overall good health.

At SlimGenics we understand the benefits of proper supplementation when it comes to weight loss and healthy living. Here are our picks for the top 10 supplements every person should consider incorporating into their daily health regimens. Always follow proper dosage recommendations and keep in mind some multivitamins may contain your entire recommended amount of a certain vitamin for the day.

Calcium

Calcium keeps bones and teeth strong, helps blood vessels to contract and expand, secretes hormones and sends messages throughout the nervous system. Calcium is especially important for aging adults, particularly pre and postmenopausal women, whose bones begin to lose density, resulting in bone loss and increased risk of osteoporosis.

Magnesium

Magnesium maintains normal nerve and muscle function, supports a healthy immune system, promotes normal blood pressure, helps regulate sugar levels and has been known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Dosage for this supplement differs from person to person. Consult your doctor, nutritionist or SlimGenics Advisor for proper dosages of magnesium supplements.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A aids with proper development and function of eyes, skin, our immune system and other parts of the body. It plays a vital role in vision support and can even help to prevent some types of disease. The IOM recommends 700-1,000 mcg (micrograms) of vitamin A for healthy females and  900-1,200 micrograms daily for men.

Vitamin B12

B12 is important for protein synthesis, cell division and metabolism. Vitamin B12 deficiency has been known to cause anemia and is often common in vegetarians and women prone to a heavy period. The recommended daily amount for B12 is 2.4 mcg per day. SlimGenics B-Slim Vitamin B12 with Folate is easily absorbed and comes in a delicious cherry-flavored tablet.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C—also called ascorbic acid—aids in the production of antioxidants in the body, which remove free radicals and unwanted toxins. It is also essential for protection against illness by helping to ward off bacteria and viruses. It also promotes healing and the forming of red blood cells. The recommended daily amount of vitamin C for healthy men and women is 75 milligrams per day and 85 milligrams per day for pregnant women.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D helps phosphorus and calcium absorb in the body. This is necessary for cell growth and neuromuscular and immune function. Vitamin D also stimulates a reduction in inflammation and promotes weight loss. The IOM recommends 600 IU of vitamin D per day for people ages 1-0 and 800 IU for anyone over 70 years of age.

Probiotic

Probiotics support digestion, fight off disease-causing bacteria and can help treat a number of gastrointestinal illnesses. If you have irregular bowel movements, chronic constipation or irritable bowel syndrome, probiotics can help regulate your digestion and promote healthy gastrointestinal functions. SlimGenics Slim-Guardian Mutli-Probiotic is a nutraceutical-grade probiotic specially designed to increase weight loss and promote a healthy gut with healthy bacteria.

Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes help to break down food and use those nutrients to fuel the body. Stress, food sensitivities and eating too quickly can all make it difficult for the body to break down food. Digestive enzymes aid the process and are perfect for people with digestive issues, food sensitivities or who are prone to bloating. When it comes to reducing gut inflammation and helping with food sensitivities, Slim-Assure Digestive Enzymes are your best friend!

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids assist with proper brain function, which is extremely important for cognitive and behavioral functions. This is especially important with brain memory and performance. They also help to reduce high blood pressure and inflammation in the body. Try Omega-Slim EFAs and experience increased inch loss, as well as healthier hair, skin and nails!

Folic Acid

Folic acid is a B vitamin, which helps the body make healthy new cells. It has also been shown to be increasingly important for pregnant women. Also known as folate, folic acid is widely recognized for its value in helping to prevent certain birth defects. Women able to get pregnant need 400-800 mcg or micrograms of folic acid each day and pregnant women should take 600-1,000 mcg daily. You can often get your daily recommendation for folic acid through a multivitamin.

Supplements are a great way to receive all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs (but cannot obtain from diet alone) to function at an optimal level. SlimGenics’ proprietary supplements are nutraceutical grade and contribute to healthy weight loss and overall well-being by providing additional nutrients your body needs to transform to a fat-burning machine!
