Supps247 Ringwood is not only a gym store. One full wall is vitamins and everyday health, with brands like NOW Foods and Life Extension. Here is how to shop three of the most asked about products.
Vitamins
A supplement is a top up for your diet, not a replacement for it. Start with what you actually need, and check with your GP or pharmacist if you are unsure.
- Life Extension Two-Per-Day Multivitamin
- Life Extension Vitamin D3 and the vitamin D range
- NOW Foods Omega-3
- All vitamins and minerals
Magnesium
Magnesium comes in different forms, such as glycinate, citrate and L-threonate. The form changes the amount of magnesium in each capsule, so compare the elemental magnesium per serve on the label, not just the capsule weight.
- Life Extension Neuro-Mag Magnesium L-Threonate
- Switch Nutrition Adrenal Switch, a magnesium powder
- All magnesium
Collagen
Collagen powders mix easily into coffee, smoothies or water. Collagen is not a complete protein, so keep it as an extra alongside your normal protein. Check the source on the label, as most collagen is bovine or marine.
How to choose well
- Read the amount of the active ingredient per serve.
- Check the serves per bottle and work out the price per serve.
- Stick to the dose on the label. More is not better.
Vitamins and minerals can interact with medicines. If you take medication, are pregnant or have a health condition, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
