If you've ever been to your local supplement store, or wandered the supplement aisle at your favorite market, then you know how overwhelming it can be to pick and choose what's best for you.  Vitamins, herbs, fat burners, protein powders.  Where should you begin?  As a master nutrition coach for Venice Nutrition, I believe in and recommend our product line to all of my personal clients because of the quality of ingredients, the scientific information provided and the convenience of having it all only a click away.  The other reason I recommend this line is because it allows you to choose a supplement package that best suits your needs or simply choose individual products and custom design your own supplement routine. 

Although we all have different goals, lifestyles and needs, one thing is for sure.  In today's overly hectic lifestyle, there is no way that we are able to eat such a varied diet that we consume every vitamin and mineral that we need for our bodies to function optimally.  So what is the first supplement you need?  A great multivitamin.  I recommend a whole food liquid vitamin that contains a blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to promote great health and energy.  A liquid vitamin is easy to digest and added antioxidants are incredibly powerful to combat premature aging.  I also recommend that my clients have a high quality whole protein powder on hand at home and at work for quick and easy meals on the go.  If you like to experiment with different flavors, the Pro-Complete protein powders come in Strawberry (my favorite), vanilla ice cream, chocolate cake and banana.

If your trying to fight fat and strengthen your immune system, Fatty Acids are crucial.  Look for a blend of Omega 3, 6 and 9 (not just one or the other) for best results.  If you are a runner or just active in general, a good supplement to protect your joints and prevent join pain is recommended.  I recommend our Joint Boost because it's a liquid blend of MSM, Glucosamine Sulfate, and Chondroitin Sulfate.  For my clients who are trying to put on lean muscle mass and size, I recommend our K-4 Muscle Enhancer and N.O. Pump Muscle Enhancer for excellent results without having to resort to creatine products. 

And for my clients who want to boost their metabolism and fight fat faster?  R.E.M Fat Burner is an added bonus because it actually increases fat burning power during sleep, which is incredibly neat because you are getting the rest you need while still working towards your goals.

There are many wonderful and effective supplements available in today's marketplace.  If you choose to explore different brands, make sure to research the company and product.  If you are interested in learning more about a supplement package or individualized supplements that best suit your goals, needs and lifestyle, check out your Supplements Tab for more information.
