What is the overall focus of this episode on supplements?
The NHS says very clearly, if you're not deficient in any nutrients, a good, healthy, balanced diet is all you need.
What is Ashwagan?
If you're comparing a collagen supplement to dietary protein at the same level, you're probably I must file about between 50 and 60 people's blood results every single day. And magnesium and phosphate are the kind of friends that balance each other out.
Let's go on to a mammoth supplement at the moment. It's really having really having a big moment. Creatine. So creatine
helps with

So this week's check-in is all about supplements. And we have touched upon supplements before, but this is a one-stop shop, everything you need to know about what should be on your shelf, like magnesium, creatine, collagen, electrolytes, lion's mane, ashwaganda. I mean there's a lot going on.
There's a lot to say, I think. And I'm gonna be very careful because people feel certain ways about certain supplements. I do. I well I don't kill me if I don't agree with you. And that message goes out to all of you a lot as well. Don't kill me if I'm presenting the evidence to you and it doesn't agree with what you feel.
You could still get on and respect each other and not agree on with everything. But which ones do we actually need? Wh where do you put your hard earned cash? That's what we're gonna cover right now. Even if it doesn't agree with TikTokers. Yes. But first. This episode is sponsored by The Coconut Collab. Have you converted to coconut now?
I have. And I think we need to get everyone else involved too.
Coconut Collab makes these amazingly tasty, creamy coconut yogs. And I love that they're so versatile. So you can just scoop it up, put it in a breakfast bowl, shove on your lovely toppings, your fruit, your seeds, um, or granola. And I use it to make curries. I put it into thicken it up or smoothies or soups, pretty much anything you need making yummy and creamy and delicious.
They've got a really good range too. There's the classic natural yog with no added sugar. There is the gut health kafia yog with good bacteria, vitamins D, B6, and B12, and the protein yog, which has 10 grams of plant-based protein per serving. I love anything plant-based.
And they're naturally made too. So no added sugar, no sweeteners, no artificial colours, or preservatives. And now there's
a new coconut collab, coconut water as well, with just one ingredient and no added sugar.
So I've voluntarily converted to coconut. Have you?
I totally have. Uh find the coconut collab with yog in the supermarkets. Small changes every day make the biggest difference to our health. Linwood's milled organic flaxseed blends are high in omega-3, which helps maintain normal cholesterol levels.
But that's not all. These little seeds are also bursting with fibre, protein and other essential nutrients to help keep you feeling your best.
And the best part is you just have to add two tablespoons to your porridge, yogurt, cereal, or smoothie, which is what I do in the morning, for an easy, nutritious addition to your
morning routine. I put mine in my yogurt with like nuts and all sorts. Delicious. Kind of just gives it a bit of extra oomph.
Yes.
Linwoods is available in all major supermarkets, health food stores, and online at Linwoodshealthfoods.com.
