Must Have Supplements: See Full List Below
First off I hate supplements. 99% of all supplements are a complete waste of time and money. Stop wasting your money at GNC, Walgreens, Health Food Stores, or the internet. When purchasing supplements look for:
1) How long has the company been in business
2) Are there any double blind clinical research studies done on their specific product
3) Are there any specific quality control tests done on their product to guarantee ingredients are pure, safe, and effective
4) Poor deliverability. The supplement never makes it into your bloodstream, it winds up in your urine.
5) Does the company follow GMP Guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practices)
There is only one supplement company that follows all of these guidelines that I personally recommend and use on a daily basis. Shaklee has been in business for over 50 years. They do 300 quality control tests on each of their products with over 80 scientists to guarantee product safety, deliverability, and purity. Shaklee has done over 115 clinical research studies published in credible, peer reviewed scientific journals. And no other company has the cajones to do a 25 year longitudinal study on their supplement users – the results are amazing!!
Remember to read the labels and watch the serving size. Your body can only process at most 20-30 grams of protein in one sitting depending on your body size so avoid products with excessive protein intake over 35 grams. Several of these supplements below can also be great snacks if you split the serving size and eat half for your mid-morning snack and the remaining half for your late afternoon snack.
Food Bars: Shaklee Cinch Snack Bar, Shaklee Meal Replacement Bar, Kashi Crunchy Bar, Kashi Go Lean Bar, Cliff Bars (keep sugars under 15 grams preferably), Cliff Builder Bars, Pure Protein Bars.
Meal Replacements Shakes: Shaklee Cinch Shakes (Chocolate, Vanilla, Espresso –my favorite), Shaklee Physique Post Workout Optimizer, Ready To Drink Shakes: Myoplex Lite, EAS Advant Edge, Muscle Milk Lite. Limit to no more than 3 ready to drink shakes per day, toxic levels of chromium. Powders have less preservatives than ready to drink shakes.
Protein Powders: Shaklee Energizing Soy Protein, NOW Whey Protein Isolate (100% Whey Protein isolate stay away from protein concentrate less pure), Natures Best IsoPure Low Carb Protein
Mult-Vitamins: Shaklee Vitalizer (Mac Daddy has everything but pretty expensive), Vita-Lea (very affordable and great absorption).
