My vitamin and supplement regimen

No matter how healthy or balanced your diet may be it is impossible in my opinion to get all the daily recommended vitamins and minerals. Taking vitamin supplements is a very good idea but how much should you take and what brand? Personally, I take a very simplistic approach to supplementation. I start my day with a multivitamin I like Solgar's formula VM-75. Solgar has been around since 1947 their vitamins are free of sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, soy, starch, dairy products and gluten. They are also formulated without the use of artificial preservatives, flavors or colors.



In addition to the multivitamin I take 1,000mg of vitamin C (also a Solgar product) three times per day with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and it helps fight free radicals that can wreck havoc on your immune system.

Being a parent and a gym owner I'm on the go everyday. I try to eat 5-6 meals per day two of those meals I have in the form of a RTD (ready to drink) protein shake. I personally use and highly recommend Lean Body RTD's by Labrada Nutrition. The Labrada RTD's come ready to drink which is great for someone who's on the go and doesn't have time to mess with blenders and protein powders. They come in assorted flavors such as chocolate (my personal favorite), vanilla, strawberry and banana cream (my least favorite) and they taste great!

Another thing that I like about Lean Body RTD's is that they fit right in with my low carb lifestyle. Lean Body has 9 grams of carbs per serving and contain zero sugar and zero trans fats. That's pretty much it for me when it comes to supplements. Remember, this is what I take I'm not a doctor or a certified nutritionist this is what works for me and it may not necessarily work for you. As a general rule of thumb when taking supplements use them to supplement your diet not in place of a health diet.

That's all I have to say about that...
