I get questions almost daily about what supplements I think people should be taking. Realistically, the complexity of someone’s supplementation depends on a number of things:
Having said that, I generally think everyone should be taking a fish oil supplement and a greens supplement. I think it’s pretty hard to argue against the long list of benefits of fish oils at this point (increases everything that’s awesome, decreases everything else…I read that in a research paper). Greens supplements aren’t as well-supported because people say, correctly, that it’s better to get all your nutrients from real food like fruits and vegetables.
I agree. Unfortunately, whether the barrier is finance- or lethargy-based, the truth is that people AREN’T eating fruits and vegetables (many people aren’t eating ANY on a regular basis).
With that understood, no one likes spending unneccessary money on supplements. I’ve done a ton of research on these two supplements and have found two resources (one that most people don’t know about!) consistently come up with the lowest prices.
You can get Greens+ (the Wild Berry Burst flavor…the other stuff is gross) at Amazon.com for around $27. It’s well worth it and significantly cheaper than other retailers, which sell it for around $40. I’ve included a link to Amazon’s page for your convenience. Just click the image below.
Carlson Lab’s Fish Oil (my go-to brand) is available in capsule and liquid form at Vitacost.com at around 50% off. I go for the liquid stuff (they have lemon and orange flavor that tastes like a fruity syrup…not as bad as you think!) because it’s easier to get high doses in without popping a ton of capsules. Currently Vitacost is listing Carlson Lab’s Liquid Fish Oil for around $22! I don’t know how they do it, but I’m glad they do. Image linked below.
Hope this helps you save a few bucks! With the $20+ you save on fish oils every month or so, now you can afford the $9.95/month it takes to get a membership to the GREATEST HOCKEY TRAINING SITE EVER! Yes, it’s that incredible. And you still have a few days until the $1 30-day trial ends! Click the image below to get instant access to the world’s largest collection of hockey training expertise!
To your continued success,
