In our fast-paced society of convenience, it can be challenging to get all the essential nutrients we need from diet alone. I always thought that I got enough nutrients from my food intake.  But after tracking the essentials, I found that I was lacking in certain areas.  For years I was anti-supplements but changed my tune after seeing the numbers for myself.

Dietary supplements help fill nutritional gaps and promote overall health and wellness.*  Dietary supplements play an important role in good health, but they are meant to supplement, not substitute for other healthy habits. You should always be reaching for healthy foods first and enhance with premium supplements.

As a runner, I’m always trying to make sure I eat the right foods not only to fuel my workouts, but help me recover from hard efforts. Food is fuel at rest, in motion and in recovery. I’m definitely not perfect but I think I balance the better-for-me foods with less healthy options. 80/20 is the way for me!  When I hit the road or the trails, I need something that tastes great, is full of good-for-me nutrients and will help me power through a workout or recover like a champ, which is why I’ve been whipping up a batch of Trail Mix Bites every week.  Be sure to check out the recipe below for a delicious and wholesome snack complete with a supplement boost.

This year I’ve been working with MegaFood®  to help spread the word about their awesome, award-winning vitamins and supplements. I’ve learned a lot more about supplements and how they can help fill in the nutritional gaps for my whole family.

MegaFood® is a leading maker of premium supplements. Their factory is located right down the road from me here in New Hampshire. Every product is made with real, whole foods from a trusted network of farm partners. These supplements are made with high-quality, organic or sustainably grown whole foods. In addition, MegaFood® recently became a Certified B Corporation® which means they are committed to higher standards of transparency and accountability in their products as well as being a conscious partner of the community.

 

One challenge with taking supplements is that some people have difficulty  swallowing pills. I don’t have this problem, but know of people who absolutely hate it. MegaFood® has you covered with options that making consuming supplements easy (and delicious), like their new collection Daily Multi Powders for the whole family!  Here’s the scoop:

 

For the ladies, there’s the Daily Multi Powder for Women. The made-just-for-women formula supports normal hormone fluctuations with Iron to replenish the iron lost during your menstrual cycle.^* There’s also Vitamin D to support healthy mood and bones and help keep them that way.* It’s easy to add a scoop of the Multi Powder to your morning smoothie or juice. Or you can add the powder to a recipe like the super simple and delicious Trail Mix Balls below.

For the guys, there’s Daily Multi Powder for Men. It’s made just for men to support overall health and wellbeing, deliver optimal Vitamin D for bone health, and has B Vitamins to support energy production and nervous system health.^* Organic beet root, organic turmeric, and organic dandelion are all included for added nourishment.^*

If you don’t need an iron supplement, the Daily Multiple Powder Iron Free is great for both men and women.  Like all the other multi powders, it’s full of B vitamins to support healthy energy production and nervous system health, and Vitamin D to make sure your healthy mood and bones stay that way.^* Beta carotene, and vitamins C, E and D, to help support normal immune function, organic ginger to support healthy digestion.^*
