The Four Most Fundamental Supplements
Step into a Mama Jean's, and you'll quickly realize there's a lot to choose from. You're bound to think, "Wow, that's quite a selection." And you'd be right. We aim to offer as wide a range as possible to support your health goals—and yes, we do have cookies—but it doesn't have to feel daunting.
Managing your health is like any other job; it takes the right set of tools. Some tools will be more frequently needed than others. Below is a brief list of some of the most commonly recommended and useful products to keep on hand.
1. COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil is incredibly versatile and beneficial. Extracted from mature coconut meat, it’s rich and slightly sweet. It faced criticism in the '70s and '80s due to concerns over saturated fats, but recent research has brought it back into favor. While it's not a miracle cure-all, its advantages are impressive.
- Moisturizes skin effectively and smells great.
- Helps heal minor burns, psoriasis, and eczema.
- Clears up yeast infections and acne due to its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.
- Restores shine to hair while rebuilding protein structures.
- Acts as a natural personal moisturizer, non-synthetic and fragrant.
- Supports cardiovascular health by raising HDL ("good") cholesterol.
- Shows promise in neurological health, potentially aiding cognitive function and combating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
- Stays stable at room temperature, making it a long-lasting addition to your kitchen.
Internally, it functions similarly to how it works externally—boosting good fat intake. Just a tablespoon or two daily can make a difference.
2. PROBIOTICS
"Pro-biotics" means "good bacteria," crucial for maintaining balance in your gut microbiome. Your gut alone hosts hundreds of bacterial strains, and there are ten times more bacterial cells than human cells in your body. Scientists now consider this microbiome a newly discovered organ.
Probiotics support digestive and immune systems. Supplements come in various dosages and compositions to address specific needs or promote general wellness. Probiotics are generally safe and effective for people of all ages.
Digestive benefits include:
- Relieving constipation and diarrhea.
- Managing IBS and colitis.
- Helping with food poisoning and acid reflux.
- Improving lactose intolerance.
Immune benefits include:
- Reducing colds and flu occurrences.
- Preventing UTIs and yeast infections.
- Supporting eczema relief.
- Enhancing overall immune function.
Other benefits:
- Assisting with weight loss and cardiovascular health.
- Reducing inflammation and improving energy levels.
As our understanding of bacteria grows, probiotics could become even more integral to healthcare.
3. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (ACV)
ACV is a fermented product made from apple cider or apple "must." Unpasteurized and unfiltered versions are best for health purposes. It contains enzymes and bacteria that provide its benefits.
Though low on probiotic content, it serves as a prebiotic, encouraging bacterial growth. ACV is famously effective against acid reflux due to its enzyme content and pH balance. A tablespoon in water can alleviate symptoms within minutes.
Daily use promotes digestive health and regularity. Additional benefits include:
- Weight loss through improved digestion and satiety.
- Potential blood sugar regulation, helping diabetics.
- Oral health improvement for sores, infections, and bad breath.
- Possible cardiovascular health improvements, though more human studies are needed.
ACV is an affordable and effective addition to any pantry.
4. MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is essential despite not occurring naturally on Earth—it’s forged in stars. It’s the fourth most common element on our planet and plays a vital role in bodily functions. Modern diets often lack sufficient magnesium, leading to deficiencies linked to asthma, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
Proper magnesium intake supports:
- Stroke and heart attack prevention.
- Fibromyalgia symptom reduction.
- Migraine relief.
- PMS management.
- Constipation relief and regularity.
- Leg cramp alleviation and relaxation.
Naturally rich sources include nuts, spices, and green leafy veggies, though supplements are cost-effective and versatile.
Next time you visit Mama Jean's, consider your needs. If you're unsure, ask staff—they’ll guide you based on your diet. Oh, and don’t forget the cookies—they’re everyone’s favorite.
