I am not a big promoter of supplements I believe we should consume enough whole foods to give us the adequate nutrition we need. However, whether it’s a busy lifestyle, diminished food quality or extreme dieting scenario we often times need assistance to ensure adequate nutrition. Supplements can really assist in this area. And as part of the Carb Rotation Diet certain supplements are required.
I have been in the industry since 1995 and have struggled with endorsing certain supplements because often times they don’t offer the results they claim or their isn’t any quality control guaranteeing a product contains the actual ingredient advertised.
Prograde is a supplement company created by fitness professionals. The supplement list is small and based on healthy nutrition. In other words their supplement list is almost exactly the same supplements I’ve been recommending for years. So now instead of running around town to purchase your supplements or browsing different websites to buy them, they are all conveniently located at one site.
Supplements include:
Green drink/multi-vitamin: I recommend Greens+ which can be purchased on amazon.com. But, Prograde offers a comparable product called vgf +25 for men and vgf+25 for women.
Fish Oil: a quality fish oil is hard to find I like Carlson’s Fish Oil, or Costco’s Kirkland Brand (they have 2 kinds the one in the clear bottle, which is the one that I prefer, and the one in the brown bottle, which I don’t recommend), or Prograde’s efa icon which uses Neptune krill clinically proven to be 5 times more effective than normal fish oil.
Workout/recovery shake: search my posts for a workout/recovery recipe which includes whey protein isolate and a healthy, fast digesting carb source (waxy maize, dextrose, maltodextrin) and glutamine. If you prefer a ready to go shake then choose Biotest’s Surge or Progrades workout shake.
