Nutrition & Oil-Infused Supplements

The importance of good gut health and what we can do to support it.

• Aids in digestion and absorption of nutrients  It is responsible for breaking down the food we eat into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules. When our gut is healthy, it can effectively absorb the nutrients our body needs, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This, in turn, helps to maintain a strong immune system and prevent chronic diseases.
• Supports a healthy immune system  The gut is home to 70% of our immune system, making it a critical component in protecting our bodies from harmful pathogens and infections.  A healthy gut also helps to prevent inflammation, which can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of chronic diseases.
• Promotes mental well-being   Research has shown that there is a close connection between gut health and mental health.  A healthy gut can help regulate our mood, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve overall cognitive function.  This is due to the fact that the gut and brain are connected through the gut-brain axis, which sends signals back and forth to help regulate emotions, mood, and behavior.
• Balances gut bacteria   Our gut is home to trillions of bacteria, both good and bad. Good bacteria, also known as probiotics, help to maintain a healthy gut by supporting digestion, boosting immunity, and regulating mood.  When the balance of gut bacteria is disrupted, it can lead to digestive problems, infections, and a weakened immune system.
• Maintains a healthy weight   Good gut health can also help maintain a healthy weight by regulating the hormones that control hunger and fullness. A healthy gut can also aid in the digestion and absorption of nutrients, which can help prevent overeating and promote weight loss.

General nutrition 

Supplements can be a helpful addition to a healthy diet and lifestyle, providing a convenient and easy way to ensure that you’re meeting your nutritional needs.

Benefits of supplements for good nutrition

• Fill Nutrient Gaps: Despite our best efforts, it can be difficult to get all the nutrients we need from food alone.  Supplements can help fill in any nutrient gaps and ensure we’re getting the essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients our bodies need to function properly.
• Convenient: Supplements can be an easy and convenient way to ensure you’re meeting your nutritional needs, especially if you have a busy lifestyle or dietary restrictions that limit your food choices.
• Improved Nutrient Absorption: Some supplements can help improve nutrient absorption and utilization in the body.  For example, probiotics can improve gut health, which can increase the absorption of nutrients from food.
• Targeted Nutrition: Supplements can be customized to fit your individual needs and health goals.  Whether you’re looking to support your immune system, improve your cognitive function, or support your athletic performance, there’s likely a supplement that can help.
• Cost-Effective: In some cases, supplements can be a more cost-effective way to meet your nutritional needs than purchasing and preparing nutrient-dense foods.

While supplements can be beneficial, it’s important to remember that they should not replace a healthy, balanced diet.  Supplements should be used to supplement a healthy diet, not replace it.

Free radicals & antioxidants

Antioxidants are substances that help protect cells from damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals.  Free radicals can be produced by normal metabolic processes as well as environmental factors such as exposure to UV radiation, pollution, and cigarette smoke.  When free radicals build up, they can cause oxidative stress, which can lead to cellular damage and contribute to the development of a number of health problems such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.

The benefits of antioxidants include:

• Protection against cellular damage:   Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and the damage it can cause to cells and tissues.
• Reduced risk of chronic diseases:   Antioxidants may help reduce the risk of developing certain chronic diseases by lowering oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
• Slowing down the aging process:   Antioxidants can help protect cells from damage caused by oxidative stress, which can help slow down the aging process.
• Improved heart health:   Antioxidants can help improve heart health by reducing oxidative stress, which can lead to damage of the blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease.
• Enhanced immune function:   Antioxidants can help support the immune system by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, which can weaken the immune response.

The Importance of Magnesium

Magnesium is a vital mineral that plays a critical role in the human body.  It is responsible for several important functions, including energy production, protein synthesis, and DNA synthesis.  It also supports healthy bones, muscles, and nerves.  Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, making it an essential nutrient for good health.

Key reasons why magnesium is important for good health

• Energy Production:   Magnesium is a key factor in the production of ATP, which is the energy currency of the body. It helps convert food into energy that is used by the body.
• Bone Health: Magnesium is essential for the proper development and maintenance of strong bones. It plays a crucial role in the absorption of calcium, which is necessary for bone health.
• Muscle Function: Magnesium is important for muscle function, including the contraction and relaxation of muscles. It also helps to prevent muscle cramps and spasms.
• Heart Health: Magnesium helps to regulate heart function and maintain a healthy heartbeat. It can also help to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.
• Nervous System: Magnesium is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. It helps to regulate neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that transmit signals throughout the body.
• Sleep Quality: Magnesium can help to improve sleep quality and regulate sleep patterns. It can also help to reduce symptoms of insomnia.
• Diabetes Management: Magnesium is important for insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation. It can help to improve insulin resistance and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

It’s important to note that magnesium deficiencies are common, and can lead to a variety of health problems.  Maintaining adequate magnesium levels is essential for overall health and wellbeing.
