We all strive to eat as best we can each day. We focus on total calories, grams of protein, grams of carbs, grams of healthy fats. 5 meals per day. Despite our best efforts nobody can have a perfect day of nutrition. We will be missing some nutrients no matter the wide variety of foods that we eat.

This is where a comprehensive Supplement Plan becomes a great Ally in our fight to maximize our daily Nutrition. Proper and effective supplementation “Fills in the gaps” of our Daily Nutrition. It ensures taht we get all of the vital nutrients we need to support our daily workouts, and gives us the best chance at maximizing our Health.

In my humble opinion proper supplementation starts with a good multivitamin.
The Activit Multivitamins are formulated with safe and natural herbal ingredients.


Benefits:
Enhance your physical and mental wellness*
Increase bone strength*
Stimulate your immune system*
Slow the effects of aging with a powerful antioxidant*
Regulate calcium and blood sugar levels*



as well as the P90X Peak Health Formula Vitamins is the highest-quality, most complete multivitamin that Beachbody offers (I take it every day):

Benefits:
High-potency multivitamin/mineral*
High-potency antioxidant coverage*
Immune support*
Energy support*
Cardiovascular support*
Memory and nerve support*
Anti-aging support*
Anti-stress support*
Support for skin, hair, and nails*


I aslo take the following Nutritionals to shore up my Nutrition:

Core Omega-3 ~ I don’t eat ANY fish. This supplement gives me the EFA’s (Essential Fatty Acids) I need.



Joint Support ~ A MUST if you are doing Insanity, P90X, ChaLEAN Extreme


Herbal Immune Boost ~ Rigorous exercise makes for extreme demands on your body’s immune system. This supplement gives me an edge in staying healthy.


Core Cal-Mag -Tami takesĀ it every day because it contains 100% of the recommended daily value of calcium and 125% of magnesium, with added vitamin D so the calcium is absorbed for optimal bone health.*

Whey Protein Powder ~ Allows me to up my total intake of muscle building & supporting protein in my daily meals. Its a very convenient way to get in the 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight that I need to build and maintain the muscle I want. Often my Breakfast staple is 2 scoops of Whey Protein mixed in Water with a Tsp of Natural Peanut Butter.



Results & Recovery Formula ~ Anyone remember Orange Creamsicles? Mix this one up after a very intense workout like Insanity, P90X, & ChaLEAN Extreme to replenish what your body need’s after a brutal workout. I only use the R& R Formula after the toughest of workouts.


Simple and complex carbohydrates for optimum glycogen replenishment*
A high Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) blend to provide the critical building blocks for rapid muscle resynthesis*
Vitamins, including antioxidants, to help reduce muscle soreness and assist in repair and growth*

Protein Bars ~ These are used for convenience in my Supplement Program. If I am going to be out of the house and can’t eat my regular foods, these protein bars give me the nutrients I need in the proper ratios. They also taste great!


Finally, there is SHAKEOLOGY ~ This is the one supplement that I will not do without on a daily basis. There is nothing like Shakeology on the market today. Each serving is so power packed with nutrients it is amazing!


This patent-pending daily nutritional shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today’s highly processed foods.

At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.

More than 70 different ingredients were chosen from around the world for their potency and bioavailability (the ability to deliver the nutrients your body needs). Here are the key nutrient groups that these ingredients deliver:*

Protein and Essential Amino Acids to help build long, lean muscles and reduce food cravings
Prebiotics and Digestive Enzymes, which aid in improving digestion, regularity, and nutrient absorption
Antioxidants and Phytonutrients to help counteract free radical damage that can lead to degenerative diseases
Vitamins and Minerals your body needs to function for optimal health

The best time to take your Nutritional supplements is with your Shakeology. The Digestive enzymes in Shakeology help your body better absorb the nutrients. That is why I take my P90X Peak Health Formula Vitamins/Minerals, Joint Support, Herbal Immune Boost, & Core Omega-3 while drinking my Shakeology. Maximum absorption!

So really think about how your supplement program supports your efforts to achieve your Fitness goals. The supplements you take can give you the advantage in your quest for good health and maximum Fitness!
