Everyone's supplement journey is different. Products pop up all the time and it can take a extended amount of time before users find what works best for them. Through our extensive market research, we have managed to procure an array of products to assist you on your wellness journey. This blog will look at 'What Is Supplement Stacking?', which supplements work the best together and how to ensure your are maximising the effects!
What Is Supplement Stacking?
Simply, supplement stacking means taking multiple supplements at the same time. The reason for this? For quicker, and often more profound, results. Each supplement offers a little something different and when they are all used together, they work in synergy.
Not only does supplement stacking save time and generally helps keep your supplement taking more consistent, it can also help target specific goals. With an abundance of supplements on site, and if you're just beginning your supplement journey, we know it can be difficult to get your head around which supplements work well together. But don't worry, this blog is here to help! We have whittled down 5 bundles that we would recommend and many of us take on a day to day basis at Life Essentials HQ!
As with all supplements, it is extremely important to note that under UK law, no claims can be made in relation to extracts or products and any studies that have been conducted should be taken anecdotally.
Focus Supplement Bundle:
Scrolling social media, checking the group chat or just finding any way not to the task at hand, its more difficult than ever to maintain focus. Factors such as information overload and shortened attention spans have found more people looking for supplements to aid their concentration. There have been several studies conducted on Lions Mane and the effect the mushroom extract has on cognitive function. Studies have suggested improved psychomotor dexterity and improved speed on basic cognitive tasks. Ginkgo Biloba is the third and final supplement we would recommend for this stack. It has been shown to improve Clincial Global Impression score.
Beauty Supplement Bundle:
From snail slime to bird poop facials (really), there have been many a strange beauty trend this year. The beauty industry is one of the biggest and fasted-growing industries in the world but not due to the aforementioned strange trends, but the products that have been tried and tested over many years.
Marine Collagen and Tremella Mushroom are two products that have been many people's beauty supplement go to. Marine Collagen studies have shown to improve skin elasticity, significant improvements in skin hydration and enhanced hair and skin. Tremella Mushroom is known as the 'Beauty Mushroom' and this is due to the perceived benefits of the extract. A main reason the mushroom extract is included in this stack is due to the studies that suggest it supports the work collagen does. Studies have also shown the extract is fantastic for skin hydration and increasing antioxidant enzymes.
Often referred to as 'Nature's Ozempic', Berberine is a product many of our customers purchase alongside Marine Collagen and Tremella Mushroom. The plant compound has grown in popularlity more recently than most well established supplements but is another that is now found included in many a beauty routine.
Relaxing Supplement Bundle:
Sometimes, life can really get on top of you. Trying to manage your work / life balance, dealing with a cost of living crisis and just general stress can all lead to your mind still being in overdrive when you lay your head on the pillow. Most adults should aim for 7-9 hours of sleep a night, but we all know this is easier said than done.
It is becoming increasingly popular for people to turn to natural remedies and supplements in order help them wind down of a night time and get the perfect night's sleep. Magnesium contributing to normal muscle function, normal blood pressure and normal electrolyte balance all aid the body's general running. L-Theanine is a popular purchase to accompany Magnesium, this is not only due its perceived synergised effects with Magnesium but the way in which it is believed to work with GABA, dopamine and serotinin levels.
Wellness Supplement Bundle:
Turmeric & Black Pepper. 6 Mushroom Blend,
Our Vitamin D3+K2+C is the perfect product, especially with the winter months being on the way. Vitamin C helps contribute to the normal function of the immune system, contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and contributes to the normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamin D contributes also contributes to the normal function of the immune system as well as contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function. Vitamin K2-MK7 is included in the capsule as it works in synergy with both Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C as well as having it's own unique qualities.
Much like the aforementioned vitamins, Turmeric and Black Pepper go hand in hand as well! This is due to black pepper dramatically boosting the absorption of curcumin, Turmeric's most active compound. Because of its rapid metabolism by the liver, curcumin is quickly eliminated from the body and offers low bioavailability by itself. Piperine is believed to enhance the absorption rate by up to 2000% as it slows down the liver metabolism of curcumin, allowing it to stay in your system for longer whlist increasing the permeability of the intestinal wall to allow more curcumin to pass into the bloodstream.
When it comes to our blend, it is simple - what is better than taking one mushroom extract? Taking SIX! Once it was clear that so many of our amazing customers were purchasing multiple mushroom capsules at one time, it made sense to pull all 6 toghether in one, easy to consume, capsule. Each capsule contains, 20:1 Lions Mane, 15:1 Cordyceps, 30:1 Reishi, 15:1 Chaga, 30:1 Maitake, 30:1 Shiitake mushroom extracts. Each mushroom has been espeically selected for the blend and the product is now one of Life Essential's best sellers- and when you see the ingredient list, it's easy to see why!
