Supplements

Omega-3s

It goes without saying that Res-Q omegas should remain the foundation of your supplement regimen, for both their physical and mental/emotional health benefits. Whether you want to support heart health, alleviate pain, or improve your mood, omega-3s will be of benefit. If you are focused on physical health concerns, try Res-Q 1250, O3 MAX, 2500 TG. If you are focused on brain health and mood support, try Res-Q Calamarine or Norwegian Arctic Cod.  

RenewU

Let’s face it, who doesn’t want to look better, think more clearly, have more energy, and age gracefully? RenewU targets all of these areas as it contains specific amino acids to support growth hormone production, a skin support blend, mental focus blend, ingredients to support energy and stamina, as well as vitamins and minerals. Plus, mixing with water helps with hydration.

 

Stress Blocker

Up to 90% of doctor’s visits are due to stress-related illness. We know stress is harmful and it’s also unavoidable, but how we adapt can make a tremendous impact on our health. Adaptogens will increase your resistance to stress, as well as help you feel more energized and relaxed.

 

 

ProBiotic

Probiotics have been proven to improve gut health. This not only means alleviating digestive symptoms, but supporting your immune system. The gut-brain axis has also been well-established, showing potential of probiotics to benefit anxiety, and even depression.
