Ideal Protein Supplements

What is the big deal about taking the IP supplements?

Firstly, we want to ensure you are getting all of the essential nutrients. The supplements are designed to supplement your nutrition on this diet, however if you plan to exercise at more than a very moderate level, your body will require even more. For instance, your body will require more cal/potassium per day as well as anti oxidants and omega 3’s. We will discuss the importance of and need for anti-oxidants below. First, the calcium supplements...

The use of different forms of calcium is common in pharmacy and is indicative of a higher quality supplement. Calcium citrate in the cal/pot is more absorbable than calcium carbonate but is taken in smaller quantities. Calcium carbonate in cal/mag is less absorbable than citrate but is more alkaline than citrate and will support the body’s acid/balance. This diet essentially puts your body in an alkaline state which creates a great reduction of inflammation for the PH and thus is much healthier for the body as well as allows more fat to be burned as fuel..

So what about the Anti-oxidant supplements?

Anti-oxidants fight off free-radicals which are particles that wander through the bloodstream and promote degenerative diseases, cancers ect. Stress, excessive exercise, pollutants, refined foods, pesticides, medication, radiation, UV rays, and tobacco use all contribute or create free radicals. Anit-oxidants, "the good guys," are found in fruits, vegetables and grains. If you are on phase 1 and 2 it would benefit you to get some pharmaceutical grade anti-oxy from your coach which contain green tea, alpha lipoic acid, turmeric, bilberry, and resveratol since you still are not able to eat fruit and grains.

So who needs to take the anti-oxidants?

- People who are in high-stress jobs

- Smokers

- Athletes

- People who have a low intake of veggies

- People who are dealing with sickness or infection (either viral or microbial)
