Digging Deeper into Shakeology, Part 8- Vitamins




Here it is, my second to last deep dive into Shakeology. We've spent the last two months reviewing  all the different ingredients in Shakeology that makes it such an amazing nutrient-dense, super-foods meal replacement. The information is here for you and it's up to you to give it a try. I am happy to send a sample to any US resident to try. I understand taste is important for long-term consumption so I am happy to invest in samples for folks to try. BeachBody is also so confident in their product that they offer the  30-day money back guarantee, which starts on the date of delivery. "Bottom of the Bag" means customers may return Shakeology packages that have been opened or used, even if the bag is completely empty.

Check out this quick 2 minute marketing video that is funny and very educational from BeachBody which features one of their original Super Coaches, Tony Horton.

The video is a bit dated as the number of Shakeology flavors has tremendously expanded, but the information about the ingredients holds true.


Yet again, I do want to add my disclaimer that I am not a nutritionist or any type of health expert. I am, however, someone who is passionate about being as healthy as I possibly can be and sharing what I learn with others. (I'll be saying this every week just so there isn't any confusion).

I know know we can all scour the internet for information and for these upcoming posts, I will do just that for you. As with anything, you are welcome to do your own research as well. 

The last 2 months, I have shared information regarding the Premium Protein and Amino Acids, Antioxidants and Super-Fruits, and Phytonutrients and Super-Greens,  Adaptogenic Herbs and Botanicals and  Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Fiber, and Digestive EnzymesThis week, I'll share information about Vitamins and their health benefits.

The week we are going to talk about the 
Vitamins - A, B6, B12, C, D,E,K2

Vitamin A: "Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is good for healthy vision, skin, bones and other tissues in the body. Vitamin A often works as an antioxidant, fighting cell damage, but it also has many other uses.
“Through its role with cell growth and division, vitamin A has an important role in the normal formation and maintenance of the heart, lungs, kidneys and other vital organs,” Dr. Sherry Ross, women’s health expert at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California, told Live Science."
Vitamin B6: "More specifically, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) — one of the eight — plays key roles in keeping the brain and nervous system functioning properly, says Sonya Angelone, RDN, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “Vitamin B6 is involved in production of hemoglobin, the protein in blood that carries oxygen throughout the body.”
Vitamin B6 is also needed for proper brain development (in kids) and function (for people of all ages). It helps the body make the hormones serotonin (which regulates mood) and norepinephrine (which helps your body cope with stress). Vitamin B6 also helps the body make melatonin, which is important in helping regulate your internal clock and your sleep."


Vitamin B12: "Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps keep the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Vitamin B12 also helps prevent a type of anemia called megaloblastic anemiathat makes people tired and weak.'


Vitamin C: "Vitamin C is one of the safest and most effective nutrients, experts say. It may not be the cure for the common cold (though it's thought to help prevent more serious complications). But the benefits of vitamin C may include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and even skin wrinkling."


Vitamin D: "Having enough vitamin D is important for a number of reasons, including maintaining healthy bones and teeth; it may also protect against a range of conditions such as cancertype 1 diabetes, and multiple sclerosis."


Vitamin E: "Some people use vitamin E for treating and preventing diseases of the heart and blood vessels including hardening of the arteries, heart attackchest pain, leg pain due to blocked arteries, and high blood pressure.

Vitamin E is also used for treating diabetes and its complications. It is used for preventing cancer, particularly lung and oral cancer in smokers; colorectal cancerand polyps; and gastric, prostate, and pancreatic cancer.


Vitamin K2: "The main function of Vitamin K is to activate the calcium-binding properties of proteins. K1 is mostly involved in blood clotting, while K2 helps regulate where calcium ends up in the body."


 
**If you have made it this far, you can see WHY Mom's cardiologist and GP felt confident removing FIVE supplements from her daily medicine regime because she is getting all the necessary vitamins and minerals from her daily Shakeology. **


Ok, so what ingredients are NOT in Shakeology? Artificial sweeteners, Artificial flavors, Artificial stimulants, Artificial colors, soy, or high fructose corn syrup. Yup, all the no-no's are NOT in Shakeology.
