Pure Encapsulations.  Simply the Best.

Feel the difference

Yes, the majority of your nutrition should come from a healthy balanced diet. Lots of veggies, lean proteins, healthy fats, and sustainable carbohydrates are the building blocks.  If you are seeking peak performance and want to feel better than you thought you could, supplementation can be an effective tool in achieving these goals.  

Everyone at some point has deficiencies of necessary nutrients.  Drinking too much coffee, for example, can rob you of precious minerals like magnesium.  This is a critical mineral for healthy muscle contraction, cardiovascular health, bone health, sleep patterns, and nutrient absorption (to name just a few). Utilizing the most bio-available forms of nutrients is key to proper absorption and utilization by the body.  Pure Encapsulations is on the front of nutraceutical research and provides simply the most effective, bio-available, and potent supplements on the planet.  

Summit Sports Acupuncture, in partnership with Pure Encapsulations, has curated a recommended list to make it easy for you choose and buy your supplements.  Many of these you do not need on a regular basis.  Sometimes supplements are used medicinally to help over come illness, help with tissue repair after an injury, or to boost neurochemistry during periods of stress.  That being said, there are a few supplements that in many years of clinical practice we have determined just about everyone can and should take on a regular basis to maintain optimum health.

Supplements you should take on a regular basis:

Multivitamin

Depending on your age or activity level, different nutrients profiles are better than others.  For athletes Athletic Nutrients are recommended.   They support physical training and performance. A superior quality all-purpose multivitamin is Ultra Nutrient.  This is a broad spectrum nutrient support with superior antioxidants and cofactors for optimum cellular health and metabolic function.  If you are advancing in your years, you might like Longevity Nutrients which offer a daily boost of antioxidants, neurochemical support, and cardiovascular support.

Essential Fatty Acids

These are the building blocks of your endocrine system.  They make your heart, brain, and joints work better.  They improve mood and reduce inflammation.  Unless you are eating a can of sardines (about 1000mg Omega fatty acids per can) every day, these are an absolutely mandatory addition to your diet.  We like One Omega  because they are supercritical CO2 extracted, environmentally friendly, and potent.   Optimal dosage of omega 3 fatty acids is about 3000mg/ day.  

Vitamin D3

While all of our multivitamins have some D3 in them, for many people this is not enough.  Click here to learn about Vitamin D3 deficiencies.  Often doctors will prescribe huge doses of D3 to people with deficiencies.  These does not seem to work for most people.  Rather, regular supplementation of 1000-5000 I.U. per day taken with healthy fat (grass fed butter which is high in vitamin K2 is ideal).  This Vitamin D3 is some of the best on the market.  Remember, because vitamin D3 is fat soluble, you must take it with fat, like the One Omega or butter for best bio-availability.

Magnesium

Critical for neuromuscular function, cardiac function, metabolism, and to ensure that DNA repair enzymes can function properly to repair cellular and genetic damage by various oxidative processes. According to Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a Phd researcher on genetics and nutrition, 45% of Americans are deficient in magnesium.  Magnesium Citrate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium.

Turmeric

Research has shown that countries that ingest larger amounts of turmeric in their diet show statistically lower rates of neurodegenerative disorders and conditions like Alzheimer's.  One way to do this is to cook turmeric powder with ghee (clarified butter- the absolute best ghee is found here), black pepper, and ginger and use this resulting mixture in your meals (frying an egg in this mix is out of this world and is an amazing acetylcholine booster) or making golden milk. Much easier than all of this is to take a highly bio-available curcumin complex like Cucumasorb.  This product is amazing for reducing inflammation and improving circulation.  If you really want to the brain-boosting benefits of turmeric try Curcumasorb Mind.  Either way, you will be doing your nervous and circulatory system a great benefit.
