We often get the question on what sports nutritional products that we use for training and competitions. Up until about 18 months ago, that list would have consisted of whatever sponsor we had at a particular time or what we got free from sports expos and conferences! We had tried a plethora of sports drinks and products with mixed results. Most of the time frustrated not knowing if we were truly getting what we needed from the products. We wanted products that were natural, pure and had the science to back up what they offered. SO when we found Shaklee we were excited to find a company that had the things we were looking for. And then when we started to use the products and see what a difference they made we were thrilled and that is why we are now distributors for Shaklee and fully recommend them to EVERYONE!

Here is the list of what we take on a daily basis:

Supplements:

• Vitalizer - all the essential daily vitamins, minerals and nutrients we need
• Omega Guard- the worlds finest fish oil gets us those essential omega 3’s and helps decrease inflammation.
• Joint Health Complex-glucosamine to help rejuvenate our joints after what we put them through on a daily basis.
• Nutriferon- the ultimate in immunity to help keep us healthy and free from getting sick.
• Performance- our before and during sport drink of choice. Keeps us hydrated as well as giving us the much needed glycogen to keep us going strong.
• Physique- the ultimate in after workout replacement nutrition, gives us the essential carbs and protein combination to have a fast recovery and make the most out of the workout.

In addition Heather takes the following:

• Osteomatrix- calcium and magnesium are critical for healthy bones, especially in women, whom 90% are deficient in calcium!
• CorEnergy- keeps my energy up naturally with Chinese herbs like ginseng and green tea
• GLA Complex- regulates those female hormones the natural way!
• Breakfast: Cinch Vanilla Shake- super tasty shake that I like to blend with fruit in the morning. A Cinch Shake gives me the confidence to know that I have had the most complete and nutritious breakfast to start my day off right!
• Lunch: Cinch Chocolate Shake- quick, easy, delicious, and nutritious lunch that I have almost everyday, especially the days that I am busy and on the go!
• Snacks: Cinch Snack Bars- tasty mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack, or I have one before a workout to get the energy I need without the added artificial ingredients that most energy bars have. My favorites are the Peanut Butter and Lemon Cranberry!
• All the Cinch products contain Leucine , which is an amino acid that helps preserve muscle.

Ted also takes the following:

• Zinc- Ted has started to take extra Zinc daily because men have a tendency to “sweat” away alot of Zinc during workouts and deficiencies in Zinc have been linked to prostate cancer.
• Energizing Soy Protein- Ted also makes sure he gets the daily protein he needs from a healthy source and finds have a quick protein shake is an excellent way to make that happen.
