Why Potassium?

Potassium supports proper functioning of the kidneys, heart, muscles and the nervous system

When in balance, it helps regulate blood pressure by regulating body fluids. It also supports muscle and nerve functions.

Good Food Sources for Potassium

Dried apricots, dried prunes, acorn squash, potato, kidney beans, lentils, bananas, orange juice, milk, coconut water, and salmon

Iodine is an essential mineral found in some foods. Most importantly, it helps the thyroid gland produce thyroid hormones, which in turn regulate body functions like metabolism

Iodine deficiency and hypothyroidism are increasingly common today. When your body has inadequate iodine, the thyroid may become sluggish. Fatigue may be the first noticeable symptom. Low iodine levels may cause the body to burn fewer calories.

Hypothyroidism occurs when the body does not produce enough thyroid hormones. It can result in chronic heart problems, and weak muscles by slowing down or preventing the metabolism of important nutrients.

Low iodine or thyroid levels often lead to dry, cracked skin, constipation, feeling cold, weight gain, hair loss, and irregular periods in women.

Digestive Enzymes play a key role in helping you break down the food you eat, so your body can absorb the nutrients locked into foods

Digestive enzymes help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and allow us to capture the nutrients in food that would otherwise go to waste.

Some digestive disorders prevent the body from making enough enzymes, such as lactose, gluten, egg and grain intolerances – which are becoming increasingly common.

If the small intestine does not have enough of the right enzymes after eating, it produces bacteria which causes uncomfortable symptoms like excessive gas, bloating and cramps.

Natural Sources of Digestive Enzymes

Eating fruits, vegetables, and other foods like honey, apple cider vinegar and live yogurt can improve your digestion.

• Raw honey contains amylase and protease.
• Fermented foods like sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar and live bioactive yogurt produce some digestive enzymes during the fermentation process.
• Avocados have the digestive enzyme lipase.
• Mangos and bananas have amylase and papaya has a type of protease called papain.
• Other foods coning some digestive enzymes include ginger, kefir, kiwi, and pineapples.

People with arthritis, especially those with osteoarthritis, could benefit from using Glucosamine Chondroitin with MSM.

What is Glucosamine?

Glucosamine is made in the body from fructose and the amino acid glutamine. It is also produced from the exoskeleton of shellfish or by the fermentation of grains such as wheat or corn. This protein helps your body build cartilage around your bones, near the joints and keeps it lubricated for better movement and flexibility.

What is MSM?

An organic sulfur found in fruits, vegetables, grains, and milk. It helps support muscles and tendons, can improve joint pain or swelling, and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Sulfur helps produce collagen, and it aids in the production of immunoglobulins which help the immune system.

What is Chondroitin?

Chondroitin sulfate is found in the body as part of the tissue that cushions the joints. It can be found in animal-based foods such as bone broths, or stews. Believed to help the body maintain fluid and flexibility, slowing cartilage breakdown and stimulating cartilage growth.
