This blog was originally created as an experiment for climbers to try and find the best health supplements that increase performance and wellness. In the same spirit I would like to introduce my all time top 5 favorite supplements that help my wellness. I feel that lately the media has sent us mixed signals about our health. I would like to clarify a few points and hopefully create a guide that others can use when looking for proper wellness supplementation, so here’s the list:
If you are looking to lose a couple of pounds and retain muscle mass then HCG drops are the way to go. The HCG diet has received quite a bit of attention from the press lately, mostly mixed reviews, so I know that people are wanting to know some truths about the diet. The diet is safe if done properly. HCG drops, if they contain actual HCG, do work by burning fat while retaining muscle mass. The HCg drops that I have linked do contain HCG and as long as you follow Dr. Simeons protocol to a T then you should have no trouble losing fat while retaining muscle and staying healthy.
Another amazing product is Travacor. We live in a society that tells us to drink too many red bulls, that we need to stay in a “revved up” state and this usually leads to feeling overly anxious from all of the stimulation. Travacor helps calm your mind and thus your body down. I’m a firm believer that the mind can conquer most bodily issues and I know this product helps. Travacor contains the amino acid theanine which helps regulate stimulus, 5HTP which supports the production of serotonin (it’s the stuff happiness is made of) and it enhances the effects of GABA (a neuro-receptor that helps to create a sense of calm). All in all, this supplement will help you find your zen state.
On the opposite end of the spectrum we have the inevitable crash from the unhealthy doses of caffeine and sugars that are pumped into us every day. What this eventually can lead to is a suppression of the adrenal gland because of a reliance on outside stimuli. Isocort can rebuild and maintain healthy adrenal gland function because it releases cortisol in to your bloodstream. If you are feeling fatigued or having awful crashes from overstimulation then this product is amazing.
I used to have trouble sleeping. It was terrible. I would lie awake at night for hours wishing that sleep would overtake me, but most the time it wouldn’t. It was hard for me to find a supplement that actually worked for sleep that was non-prescription. Kavinace works. Kavinace supports GABAA and GABAB receptor function in the brain and promotes GABA levels. In layman’s terms: it will help you calm down enough to fall asleep.
With all of the tacobell, milk and other garbage that our society pushes us to throw down our gullet sometimes its hard to go, well you know. Colonmax helps your bowels move at a regular pace. I’ve tried other products that were way too harsh and made me feel awful, but this one is gentle and it really works.
That’s quite the list I know, but if you are looking to maintain a healthy level of homeostasis then these products will help. I hope this was informative.
