4 Supplements To Start Taking Today

Your body is a complex and carefully designed organism. In order to maintain optimum health, literally billions of cells, nerves, microorganisms, muscles, bones, ligaments, and more must work together in perfect harmony. Though your body is designed to succeed, it needs a little help now and then to continue performing at maximum health and efficiency. As the proud (and only) resident of your body, it is up to you to help it out whenever you can. The Lime in the Coconut is here to assist you along the way!


Dietary Supplements - Why Are They Necessary?

Supplements do exactly as their names suggest - they supplement your body's nutrition to help it achieve optimum health. They are designed to add nutritional value to complement the food and drink you consume on a daily basis. Generally, dietary supplements consist of one or a combination of any of the following:
  • Minerals
  • Vitamins
  • Amino acids
  • Metabolites
  • Herbs
  • Extracts
  • Botanicals

Which Supplements Should You Take?

There are hundreds of different types of supplements available on the market today. It is up to you and your doctor to decide which supplements are best for you and your unique needs. However, there are certain supplements that can benefit nearly every person in nearly every situation. Here is a quick look at some of the supplements we recommend all of our customers consider incorporating into their daily regime:


1. Alpha Base Capsules
This superior supplement by Ortho Molecular Products offers an important mix of micronutrients that play strong roles in boosting immune function and converting food into usable energy. These nutrients also help with cell regeneration, tissue repair, and detoxification.*


2. Ortho Biotics
Your gut is home to literally billions of microorganisms. These microorganisms must be maintained in a careful balance in order for them - and you - to thrive. Unfortunately, this balance can be upset by any number of different things, including medications, antibiotics, excessive alcohol, oral contraceptives, and poor diet. Ortho Biotic offers seven probiotic strains that have been proven to withstand challenging conditions, thus helping to restore the population in your GI tract.*


3. Orthomega
Omega-3 fatty acids are a crucial component of overall health. They offer multiple benefits, such as support for the cardiovascular system and support for healthy brain cognition and function. The body cannot produce omega-3 fatty acids on its own, so you must consume them regularly in order to maintain proper supply. Orthomega is a high-quality fish oil supplement that, in addition to providing the benefits we just discussed, also helps maintain healthy joints, skin, and connective tissues.*


4. Traumeric
Inflammation is the body's natural, healthy response to harmful stimuli that may pose a threat to overall health, such as bacteria or viruses. When part of the body becomes inflamed, it is flooded by white blood cells and immune cells that work to protect the body from this threat. If the body's natural processes become imbalanced, the inflammation response may fail to perform correctly. Traumeric is a unique formula of natural ingredients that are specifically designed to support the immune system by cultivating a balanced inflammatory response. It also supports the musculoskeletal system.*

What Should Everyone Age 35+ Be Taking?

"Aging is not lost youth, but a new stage of opportunity and strength." - Betty Friedan

Aging is a natural process that every single one of us will go through. As we age, however, our bodies begin to need a little extra help here and there to maintain optimum health. At the Lime in the Coconut Compounding Pharmacy, we specialize in helping both women and men gracefully navigate our bodies' natural aging processes. For those of you over the age of thirty-five, here is a quick look at some of the supplements we recommend you take in order to keep your body healthy and well.


5 Supplements For Everyone Age 35+

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Having proper levels of omega-3 fatty acids is very important for us to maintain healthy metabolisms. Common natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids include walnuts, flaxseed oil, fish oil, and egg oil. Omega-3 fatty acids can also be taken as an oral supplement (we recommend Orthomega).

2. Probiotic
Not all bacteria are harmful - in fact, some bacterial are essential for maintaining proper health. They help with digestion, boost your immune system, and several other things. Probiotics can be found naturally in fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kimchi, or they can be taken as a supplement. AT the Lime, we are strong believers in Ortho Biotic's probiotic supplements!

3. Multivitamin or Mineral Supplement
Multivitamins serve as a great way to improve your overall health. For most of us, our diets don't contain all of the vitamins and minerals our bodies need to be healthy, and a multivitamin can help fill in the gaps. If you are looking for an oral supplement, our compounding pharmacist at the Lake of the Ozarks recommends Alpha Base by Ortho Molecular. If you want an alternative to an oral supplement, our wellness IVs at the Lake of the Ozarks could be a great solution.

4. Vitamin D
Vitamin D plays a lot of different roles in the body, including the reduction of inflammation, the prevention of osteoporosis and arthritis, the regulation of blood pressure, and many other important factors. Shockingly, experts estimate approximately 75% of people in the U.S. are deficient in vitamin D. Our skin absorbs vitamin D from sunlight, but the amount that we absorb naturally isn't enough. Health experts recommend taking 5,000 units of vitamin D per day; we have supplements that can help ensure you reach this goal.

5. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Our hormone levels fluctuate as we age, especially for women. Maintaining proper hormone levels is incredibly important for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We recommend testing your hormone levels and supplementing with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) as necessary. As a specialty compounding pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks, we work frequently with BHRT. If you have any questions about it at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to us!
