Feeling stressed, anxious or struggling to relax? Magnesium is your answer!! 🤯 ✅

Magnesium is an essential mineral which is present in every cell in the body, and acts as a cofactor in over 600 enzymatic reactions.

Numerous studies have investigated the interaction of magnesium with key mediators of the physiological stress response and demonstrated that magnesium plays an inhibitory key role in the regulation of the normal stress response.

Low magnesium status and low dietary magnesium intake have been reported to be associated with depression, anxiety, and psychological stress or associated symptoms.

Along with zinc, magnesium has been shown to modulate neuronal hyperexcitability by inhibiting excess activity at NMDA glutamate receptors. Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain.

Magnesium may additionally modulate GABA activity in the brain by decreasing presynaptic glutamate release. GABA is a primary inhibitory transmitters in the CNS that counterbalances the excitatory action of glutamate. An imbalance between GABA and glutamate is associated with neuronal hyperexcitability characteristic of conditions such as psychological stress, and anxiety.

Individuals who are deficient in magnesium are particularly likely to benefit from magnesium supplementation because they have an impaired ability to regulate the stress response.

According to the latest data, as much as 70-80% of the population may not be getting enough magnesium from their diet.

If you often find yourself feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed consider taking a high-quality organic-based magnesium supplement such as magnesium glycinate.
Beware that most over the counter brands use magnesium oxide, a cheap form of inorganic magnesium which has been shown to have very low bioavailability.

So you want to boost your immunity? ⬆️ 🦠

Zinc is an essential mineral that is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. Next to iron, it’s the second most abundant mineral in the human body.
It plays an important role in immune function, metabolism, reproduction, gene expression, cell regeneration, and neurotransmission. Zinc is also a key enabler of our sense of taste and smell.

Zinc is essential to preserving natural tissue barriers such as the respiratory epithelium, preventing pathogen entry, for a balanced function of the immune system and the redox system.

It’s no coincidence then that zinc deficiency has been identified as a probable factor in predisposing individuals to infection and the detrimental progression of COVID-19.

Interestingly, most of the risk groups described for COVID-19 are at the same time groups that were associated with zinc deficiency. Because of its direct antiviral properties, it can be assumed that zinc administration is beneficial for most of the population, especially those with suboptimal zinc status.

Zinc deficiency in humans is now recognized as an important malnutrition problem world-wide.

The RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) for zinc is 11mg per day. This amount is considered sufficient to meet the needs of 97-98% of healthy individuals.
Food sources of zinc include raw oysters, beef, beans, crab, wild rice, peas, and some nuts.

However, studies have shown that dosages of 2-3 times the RDA may be needed to correct mild deficiency, and up to 4-5 times the RDA for severe deficiency (5).
Therefore, zinc supplementation is a low-cost viable way to obtain your zinc requirements!

When selecting a zinc supplement, make sure it contains more bioavailable forms of zinc such as zinc glycinate. Most cheap, over the counter supplement brands use zinc oxide, which has little to no absorption.

The typical dosage will vary from 15-30mg per day. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) for zinc is 40mg per day. It is advisable not to exceed this amount unless under medical supervision.

In recent years it has been suggested that the upper limit of protein intake needed to maximally stimulate muscle growth is 1.6g per kg per day.

This was largely based on the findings of a 2018 meta-analysis that featured a group of well-respected and prominent researchers.  
It is worth pointing out though that this meta-analysis only assessed protein intake in non-energy restricted states, and the 95% confidence interval ranged from 1.03 to 2.2g per kg, suggesting that while 1.6g per kg may be sufficient for most people during hyper or caloric conditions, higher amounts may be needed in some individuals to maximize gains in muscle hypertrophy. 
A more recent 2021 meta-analysis which included approximately 2 to 3 times more trials than those in previous meta-analyses, including trials with hypocaloric conditions, looked at the dose-response relationship over a range of doses from 0.5 to 3.5g of protein per kg per day.  
It was concluded that protein intake enhances the increase in LBM in a dose-dependent manner all the way from 0.5g to 3.5g per kg per day.  
However, the greatest changes were observed from 0.5 to 1.3g, with gains diminishing after 1.3g per kg. Resistance training appeared to attenuate this decline.  
Although it was not reported in this study, it is likely that the higher protein intakes favoured the hypocaloric conditions. Previous studies have shown that higher protein intakes are more effective at sparing lean mass during hypocaloric diets, with some studies even reporting gains in LBM during hypocaloric conditions.  
The take-home point is, that although the added benefit may be small, protein intakes greater than 1.6kg may be warranted for those looking to maximize muscle gain or retention.  
A good rule of thumb is to shoot for around 2.2g per kg during a mass building phase and up to 3 to 3.5g per kg during a cutting phase.
Individuals with compromised kidney function should be cautious and limit their intake to less than 1.2g per kg.

Until recently it was believed that the dietary acid load didn't contribute to metabolic acidocis because of our bodies innate buffering systems which tightly regulate pH balance.

☝️ However, very recent research seems to suggest that a high dietary acid load can indeed overwhelm our buffering capacity and lead to low grade metabolic acidosis which has been associated with metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

In addition, it appears that a high dietary acid load is also associated with psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression.

In healthy people with normal kidney function, once the amount of acid that gets excreted out in the urine is exceeds 0.4–1 mEq/kg of body weight per day (40–70 mEq/day for a 70 kg adult), there is acid retention in the body.

A typical Western diet leads to a net endogenous acid production of around 50–100 mEq of acid per day (10). Thus, most people are already near their threshold for retaining acid.

One way to mitigate this acid load, apart from reducing consumption of foods that contribute to the acid load such as animal proteins, processed foods, and refined carbohydrates, is to consume more fruits and vegetables...

🤯 Unfortunately, data from the CDC shows that just 1 in 10 adults meet the federal fruit or vegetable recommendations!

Consuming a highly-quality concentrated superfruits and greens powder is a convenient and cost-effective way for most people to meet their daily fruit and veg requirements. Try our SuperFruits & Greens Powder (in stock now!) by clicking the link in our bio... 🛒 🍏 🍓

Whey protein or WPI is often regarded as the king when it comes to protein supplementation and for good reason.

Whey is a complete protein with a very high concentration of essential and branch chain amino acids. It is the branched chain aminos which are directly responsible for triggering muscle protein synthesis, while the remaining essential aminos act as building blocks to promote muscle growth and repair.

In addition, whey protein is rich in vitamins and minerals and contains a number of other proteins that have been shown to positively effect numerous health markers such as immune function, insulin sensitivity, blood lipids, blood pressure and vascular function, mood, and oxidative stress.

Most plant-based protein sources on the other hand, are incomplete proteins, because they are missing one or more of the 9 essential amino acids.

This limitation, however, can be overcome quite easily by combing two or more plant-based protein sources, to form a complete protein.

In addition to that, there may be health benefits to swapping out some of your animal protein sources, with plant-based protein sources.
In particular, plant-based protein sources appear to be associated with a reduced dietary acid load.

Animal proteins are the largest source of dietary acid in the body as they contain high amounts of sulfur-containing amino acids such as methionine and cysteine, which leads to the formation of sulfuric acid and hydrogen ions in the body.

So, by substituting some of our animal-based protein sources with plant-based protein sources, we can mitigate the dietary acid load.

In addition, by incorporating plant-based protein sources into our diet we increase our nutrient diversity which helps promote a more diverse and healthier microbiome!

So, you want to improve your recovery post work out?

Magnesium is the answer! Magnesium is an essential mineral which is present in every cell in the body, and acts as a cofactor in over 600 enzymatic reactions.

It is involved in the regulation of muscular contraction, ATP production, protein synthesis, blood pressure, insulin metabolism, cardiac excitability, vasomotor tone, nerve transmission and neuromuscular conduction, and cellular and tissue integrity.
Magnesium supplementation may help improve performance and recovery in the following ways:
❇️ Enhancing glucose availability in the brain, muscles, and blood
❇️ Reducing or delaying lactate accumulation in the muscle
❇️ Increasing muscle protein synthesis
❇️ Reducing muscle damage and muscle protein breakdown
❇️ Improving bone health and protecting against bone loss
❇️ Reducing inflammation and oxidative Stress
❇️ Improving management of psychological stress
❇️ Improving cardiovascular health
❇️ Improving sleep quality and quantity

Individuals who are deficient in magnesium are particularly likely to benefit from magnesium supplementation.

The most recently published data on magnesium intake has reported that up to 70-80% of people may be getting substantially less than the RDA which is between 300-420mg per day.

Furthermore, individuals who exercise heavily have greater requirements for magnesium due to greater magnesium losses experienced through sweat.
Taking a high-quality magnesium supplement is a convenient and cost-effective way to ensure you are getting enough magnesium in your diet.

Beware that most over the counter brands use magnesium oxide, a cheap form of magnesium which has very low bioavailability, with a fractional absorption of only 4 per cent.

Zinc is an essential mineral which is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. Next to iron, it is the second most abundant mineral in the human body.

It plays an important role in immune function, metabolism, reproduction, gene expression, cell regeneration, and neurotransmission. Zinc is also a key enabler of our sense of taste and smell.

Zinc deficiency in humans is now recognized as an important malnutrition problem world-wide. It is the fifth leading cause of loss of healthy life years in developing countries.

Symptoms of zinc deficiency include:
❌ Frequent infection
❌ Hypogonadism in males
❌ Loss of hair
❌ Poor appetite
❌ Problems with the sense of taste and smell
❌ Skin sores
❌ Slow growth
❌ Trouble seeing in the dark
❌ Slow wounds healing
❌ Impaired cognitive function
❌ Depression and anxiety

The RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) for zinc is 11mg per day. This amount is considered sufficient to meet the needs of 97-98% of healthy individuals.
Food sources of zinc include raw oysters, beef, beans, crab, wild rice, peas, and some nuts.

✨ However, studies have shown that dosages of 2-3 times the RDA may needed to treat mild deficiency, and up to 4-5 times the RDA for severe deficiency.
It is unlikely that this amount can be obtained from food alone. This is especially true for those individuals consuming primarily a plant-based diet. That is because animal proteins counteract the impairing effects of phytates on absorption.

❇️ Therefore, zinc supplementation is a low-cost viable way to obtain your zinc requirements.

💊 When selecting a zinc supplement, make sure it contains more bioavailable forms of zinc such as zinc glycinate. Most cheap, over the counter supplement brands use zinc oxide, which has little to no absorption!

Although protein is best known for its role in increasing muscle protein synthesis, which promotes increased muscle growth over time, protein also has numerous other benefits that many people are not aware of!

Here are just 3 more reasons why you should increase your protein intake! ➡️➡️➡️

1️⃣ Enhanced Immune System Function
A deficiency of dietary protein or amino acids has long been known to impair immune function and increase the susceptibility of animals and humans to infectious disease.
Individuals that exercise especially require higher amounts of protein because exercise induces oxidative stress, muscle damage, inflammation, and acute immunosuppression.

2️⃣ Liver Detoxification Support
This might go against everything you’ve ever heard or read, but you actually need protein to support liver detoxification.
Amino acids are required as co-factors for phase II liver detoxification. Without phase II cofactors, phase I metabolites cannot be excreted, and they can build up to toxic levels.

3️⃣ Neurotransmitter Synthesis
Amino acids are the precursors to neurotransmitters in the brain, which are chemicals that regulate our mood, alertness, motivation, concentration, and memory.
Having too little neurotransmitter levels make us feel anxious, depressed, tired, unmotivated, and unable to focus.

Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we share even MORE reasons why you should ensure you are getting enough protein! 💪🏼

So, you want to improve your gut health? 🫶🏼  An increased intake of polyphenols, oligosaccharides, and fibre, which are all components found in a fruit and vegetable-rich diet, have long been associated with decreased risk of chronic diseases.  
Many of the benefits induced by this type of diet appear to result from the interaction of these dietary components with the gut microbiome, where they selectively enrich specific microbial species and increase microbial diversity.  
Our gut microbiome is made up of trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms that reside in the lower intestine and colon. The microbiota plays a huge role in our health and serves many important purposes such as strengthening gut integrity and shaping the intestinal epithelium, digesting fibre, regulating energy metabolism, protecting against pathogens, regulating immune function, and brain health. 
When there is an overgrowth of pathogenic or harmful bacteria, yeasts and/or parasites, and too few beneficial bacteria, called dysbiosis, it can adversely impact our health and body composition. Dysbiosis has been linked to obesity, inflammation, insulin resistance, inflammatory bowel disease, IBS, allergies, asthma, cardiovascular disease, and mental health issues. 
If you find yourself regularly not consuming enough fruits and veggies [that is, at least two servings fruit and three serving of veggies per day!] then you should consider investing in a high-quality fruits and greens powder.  
This is a low-cost and convenient way of ensuring that you are consistently hitting the recommended daily fruit and veg intake.   Check out our Superfruits & Green Powder, in-stock and ready to nourish you from the inside out! 💚🥦🍓🫐

Hey Trilogy 👋🏼, how many servings of fruits and veggies do I really need to be eating each day?

Well, everyone knows they need to consume fruits and vegetables, but the reality is that most people do not!

✅ Increased fruit and vegetable intake has been associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, all-cause mortality, and even depression.

🍏 An intake of approximately 5 servings per day of fruit and vegetables, or 2 servings of fruit and 3 servings of vegetables, is associated with the lowest mortality.

⬆️ Above that level, a higher intake is not associated with additional risk reduction. This is in line with the current dietary recommendations in most countries around the globe.

👇🏽Yet, data from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) shows that just 1 in 10 adults meet the federal fruit or vegetable recommendations!

🍔 Instead, the consumption of the typical ’Western diet’, which is rich in refined foods that are high in saturated fats and sugar and low in other nutrients, such as fibers and vitamins, has led to an epidemic of obesity and overweight, and other non-communicable diseases including the “big four” — cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes, cancers, and chronic respiratory diseases.

Perhaps the simplest and most cost-effective way for most people to meet this requirement is by taking a concentrated fruits and greens powder each day.

📗 A recent 2019 systematic review reported that concentrated fruits and vegetable supplementation results in a positive and significant effect on select parameters known to affect the risk of
noncommunicable diseases.
